His Sacred Incantations by Scarlett Gale

the second she stopped providing food, she became food.' and a lot of body horror and dark themes about group pacts and betrayals and ritualistic murder/sacrifices. what if we were the robots all along?'ĭ) little girls out here writing like 'aunt melanie's skin was sloughing off the bones as her beloved dogs tore her apart, turning on her in blind animal instinct. and anywaysī) it's really hard not to like, re-write for them and stick to just 'hey add descriptions here, change this grammar, really cool ideas!' bc i'm an adult and not trying to talk over/railroad these kids, but i'm just so excited for their ideas!!!Ĭ) little boys write cool stuff like 'what if we went to mars but it sucked so we left, but left behind all our technology and the technology rose up and created its own society and then went to war with us for abandoning them? what if transformers had 100x the war crimes? what if the earth blew up. I'm helping out at a creative writing workshop for uhhh i think 10-12s? 10-14s? idk. and i bet a lot of even seemingly grounded analysis slides off what the creator meant to convey all the time, but that doesnt mean it cant still be something interesting. i think sometimes people just connect some dots because its fun. i dont think someone writing a longish post like 'whoa did you guys notice this thing recurring across episodes, heres why i think it's relevant' needs to be seen as op's assertion that the source material is the deepest thing ever. but its a bit of a downer the perception that trying to find symbols in things or piece together non explicitly stated meaning is solely a pretentious intellectual authoritative exercise only befitting certain deservedly intellectual pieces when really i think its something humans do because its fun. obviously there will be people who assert things that are a bit sillay, & not all attempts to interpret something will seem founded by what the source material actually appears to be giving. I dont think something needs to be 'that deep' for people to analyze it is the thing.
