Maybe what the audience intended the work to be about doesn't matter.

Okey, the hunt is on chief

FLEE YOU FOOLS!!!!! FLEEEEE!!!! HAHAHAHHA!!!

No more stressing about what message the author was aiming for. It is a secondary concern next to what the sniper rifle is aiming for.

stop being this charming pls

@gooseworx.bsky.social you are unleashed

Watch out @gothtatertot.bsky.social !

Death of the Author: Despite the creators intentions, the thing that truly matters about a piece of work is how the viewer connects with it Death of the Audience: Holy shit why are there alligators in the theater?!?! someone please help they have my leg oh god oh fu-

*All fandoms

What do you get when you cross an audience and a gun? :) A really *killing joke*

If I could pick one audience!!!

oh heck yah hahahaha

I've had it coming. Just make it painless.

This method of analysis completely ignores any audience interpretation and solely focuses on the author's intention.

Me when I browse Letterboxd

This, it might clear out the media illiteracy.

The Director: more violence!

an error in my calculations

Starting with Twitter audiences. That's one festering bog no creative artist or author should ever approach anymore.

Sound harsh, but honestly we probably deserve it.

My first thought as well

At least he died doing what he loved

there we go!

My first thought!

all i can think of when i see this is homestuck

Here is what folks had never understood: the work belongs to the author untill is out there, and then it belong to the audience; not after for the author, not before for the audience

I’ve got some fellow writers and creative friends who will get a lot out of this. Myself included. Thank you! 💜

This is just @gooseworx.bsky.social halfway through TADC.

Kill your darlings

I’m unironically going to start using that saying

Oh, I’ve been practicing that for a time now. The entire audience of a certain wizard franchise has been dead to me since the last game’s drama. It’s liberating, and not just as an author.

I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE *cartoony sonic run*

Gooseworx? Is that you?

Why does every single one of these people look like they’re in a completely different band🤣

I’ve been saying this!!!!!

Been a while since I've seen Meet The Feebles.

So called "Antis" first

You see this gun that Chekhov left here in act one...

😳

You will never catch me, Author! Never! *shakes fist*

come and get me

Barthes 2: Reader to Die

rowling's already doing this

IYKYK

Philip Corner, your moment has arrived

"this book is so good it will kill you!" yeah, I might read it, see what all the hype is about

you're so brave and correct for saying this

Gooseworx wearing a cap with this message while on vacation

Christopher Marlowe was killing audience members with cannons before before his death. First playwrite beat us all to the punch.

Get instrumentalitied nerd

Me, who yearns for it:

If the audience didnt wanna die they shouldnt have been dipshits

this post wasn't ghostwritten. it was goosewritten

My favorite is when people say "their research conclusion contradicts what I, a layperson, observes in my day to day life so it must be wrong" like hey I kind of think that's the point...?

youtube.com/@ratboygenius you are writing to Ratboy?

We've really learned that general audiences know nothing about the meanings of stories. Death of death of the author starts now.

sure but they're not producers, sometimes they need to shut the fuck up

have you checked your taps for lead lately

Thinking like this is why Disney sucks ass now.

And?

once they're seated they've already paid NO REFUNDS

Protip: Every time you viscerally hate an audience and wish horrible things on them, you are on some level committing a quantum murder spree. Get all the fun with none of the run!
