I was thinking the other night about Nairers. Listening to their convoluted words, their randomized statements, their obligated attraction to disintegrate Chair in order to elevate Nair and I came to a conclusion. The majority of these Nairers, with the exception of a selective few, see Nair almost 'picture-perfect' and I mean that in a literal sense. Like a picture with no words, where emotions are conveyed in beautiful silhouettes, lacking background information but so very stunning with the snowy backdrop and the ducks. The reason I say this is because based on their arguments it's almost like they're arguing on the perfection of a picture rather than the imperfection of a statement.
Chair, being more like a statement, where things are far from perfect, where there is more information to support an argument, where one can analyse based on concrete information rather than the picturesque. It makes sense if one thinks about it, if we genuinely try to understand what they're attempting to convey in their words. It makes SENSE that they see it as a pictorial perfection because that's what has been presented to us via the TV. Of course Monday's episode will give movement to the picture but for how long? We have confirmation that things will unravel for Nair and soon so the appreciation of it's beauty will most likely remain the same sentiment in the majority of them just like our disdain for them will continue for us based on our ability to see beyond the picture-perfect postcard.
Also, I wanted to talk about Vuck and no I dont mean the 'ship' I mean the shipper name created. Doesn't is sound like something a sci-fi show would use to replace FUCK? Like frak or something. I can see it being used in a few years in order to populate the ever adored profanity on television. Like Captain John Alabaster, of 'Pluto 4500' will scream to his crew "WHAT THE VUCK IS GOING ON IN HERE?" or "WHAT THE VUCK WAS THAT?" (and rightfully so as it was our general reaction to that vuckery last episode) and millions of nerds will use it in their T-shirts and shout it at Comic-Con.
your rant was vucking awesome!
ReplyDelete...you're right, it fits right in with the vocabluary.
You know what I was thinking about? The Nate/Chuck friendship. And how there is no explanation as to why Chuck still wants to be friends with Nate.
ReplyDeleteNate was suck a fucking dickwad this season to Chuck! Remember when he ditched him for Dan after Chuck basically SAVED HIS MOTHERFUCKING LIFE because Nate got all angry that Chuck didn't treat Dan well, after DAN WROTE A FUCKING EXPOSEE ON CHUCK'S FAMILY! GOD.
And then Chuck was trying to help him after he found out about the eviction and Nate got all whiny and righteous? and Chuck STILL came back to help him AGAIN? and Chuck apparently is STILL speaking to him even though Nate KNOWS Chuck loves Blair and yet is STILL WITH HER?! Yes, Nate deserves to be pummelled.
I think you're so right. They are in love with an image. Most of their arguments I feel come cribbed from ex-CB fans discussing why they no longer ship CB, rather than ideas they came up with themselves, which is why almost ALL of their arguments (except for the so pretty! and duck!duck!goose! variety) focus on bashing Chair. Because if their brains were turned on AT ALL far more of them would point out Nate turning himself in to 'save Blair' in season 1--but few do because no CB'er, even a lapsed one, is going to praise Nate's history with Blair.
ReplyDeleteI think Vuck should be an especially FOUL Sci-fi swear word...like it's use should cause people's tongues to be cut out.
11:50 : Mate, you're onto something. That makes total sense!
ReplyDeleteSome are still book fans, and think that on the show NB have potential, but they don't realise the characters are different. Even in the books Nate was retarted, so I just don't understand how these people can ship them.
Also, some of these fans sound like 'Blair's' pre-Chuck, in their delusional state, thinking 'if it looks perfect, then it must be perfect.' So yeah, def. agree on the whole 'picture perfect' thing you pointed out.
