thesituation:

i can’t stand “it’s not that deep” attitudes like even if it really really isn’t that deep just PLAY WITH ME. just fucking PLAY. have a meaningless but deep analytical conversation with me. just like think about shit for fun. does anyone else like to think about stuff for fun. it’s so lonely

yes. yes. yes.

sometimes it’s either a genuine misunderstanding or willful refusal of the “watsonian vs doylist” dichotomy

like, i say “wonder why the characters in this show did X instead of Y? perhaps they had this reason (long complex in-universe headcanon weaving elements from the entire show into a comprehensive theory that makes a jarringly weird amount of sense)”

and someone answers “it’s not that deep, man. they did it because (out-of-universe reason involving the lives of the actors, the limits of the filming technology, or the character flaws of the showrunners)”

and i’m like. yes, i KNOW. i was not TALKING about THAT universe. I was talking about the FUN ONE that I wanna PLAY IN
