Notaufnahme
Der Monitor piept.
Stephen Dürr, 51, Ex-Soapstar, liegt auf der Trage.
3,4 Promille. Herzstillstand. Reanimation erfolgreich.
Drei Sanitäter, zwei Ärzte, eine Pflegekraft – alle um ihn herum.
Draußen Kameras. Dschungelcamp-Kandidat. Wieder einer.Im Wartebereich:
Ein Kind mit Fieberkrämpfen.
Eine Rentnerin mit Atemnot.
Ein Bauarbeiter mit gebrochenem Handgelenk.
Wartend. Schweigend. Unsichtbar.An der Wand hängt ein Plakat: „Wir sind für alle da.“
Ein junger Assistenzarzt murmelt: „Friede den Hütten…“
Die Oberärztin antwortet, ohne aufzusehen: „Krieg den Palästen.“#friededenhüttenkriegdenpalästen #stoptherich #icebergStyle #subtext #promikult #satire? #diedümmstetvsendungderwelt? #djungelmist

I wrote about Margaret LaFleur's "All's Well" and a gorgeous moment beyond words, when subtext bubbles to the surface.

I love people questioning my basic competence in the most patronising way possible! It's definitely a productive thing to do.

I've got a class starting next week about Dialogue, Gesture, and Staging.
4 weeks, Thursdays, 9/18/25 - 10/9/25, 6pm-9pm (North American Central time), Zoom, $222/$200 (Loft member)
It covers a variety of tools to make dialogue come alive in your scenes—with specific techniques to make it realistic (if that's your thing), dynamic, compelling, resonant, and/or vibrant.

“Song Jiang was a chivalrous man whose main interest was skill with weapons. Sex had only a moderate appeal.”
“In the lamplight Song Jiang noted with pleasure what a fine figure of a man Wu Song was”
Okay, I know it’s a translation and medieval Chinese culture is something I have no understanding of at all, but I know homosexual subtext when I see it.

The wild thing to me about studying subtext is when you pull it up to look closely, it doesn't feel like subtext. It feels too obvious. But it really is & it really works. That's the magic.
In this class, we'll do the incredible work of close reading--together with other writers--to pull up the subtext of stories & figure out how it works.
Online/live meetings: 6-8pm (Central), Thursdays, 7/17 -- 8/21

Stand By Me evokes heartfelt #nostalgia no matter when you grew up, and it offers valuable lessons anyone can relate to. But as I rewatched it last night, I realized I must have seen it quite differently than how my father saw it.

And there's no subtlety in #DunePartTwo in depicting the #Fremen as being based on #Arab and #Muslim peoples and #culrures, #Spice as #oil, and all of the "great houses" as primarily the #European-based and derived parasites of the "West".
I'm typically clueless on #subtext and didn't get any of that until I read what people posted after #DunePartOne.
(Don't tell me about the books, thanks)

This is actually how I talk about subtext more generally, as an allusion to an outside story that you hope the reader knows. The story might be formally a story, or it might be a cultural story or assumption about how the world works.
-
So, at the simplest level, this is subtext. The subtext of a retelling is the original story.

@supergrobi Tja... Um ehrlich zu sein, war _DAS_ eigentlich nicht meine Frage, bzw. die Aussage.
#Subtext -
I'm terrible at understanding hidden meanings (#subtext) in #movies and other #art, so I was really bothered by #BladeRunner when #Deckard was able to hang on by one hand with broken fingers.
It wasn't until a few years after the #web was created that I found that many people had realized Deckard was a #replicant. Then that scene finally made sense to me.
That kind of impossible human feat is (still) so common in movies, I assumed it was lazy, bad #writing and #directing, and not a clue.

But also the third option is the one I had in my head!
"How do you play with inflection in YOUR dialogue?"
#dialogue #WritingConversations #WritingCommunity #inflection #subtext

In my subtext class, we talk about inflection--how meaning changes based on _how_ words are said. This seems pretty obvious & I think about how we do it in real life & how actors do it. But then there's a moment of--wait!--how do we make inflection felt in writing?
So: Just describing it, of course. Emphasis through rhythm & punctuation choices. Gesture. What else?
How do you play with inflection in your dialogue?
