other things that aren't the point: everyone has such nice sweaters

I finished watching Crá yesterday and now I need to try to persuade as much of tumblr as possible to watch it too.

It's an Irish-language murder mystery TV series set in Donegal, though it's subtitled in English, so you don't need Irish to follow it. It's not a cheerful series - Crá translates to torment - and nearly every single character is in some way corrupt, compromised or morally grey. But it's extremely well-produced, it's gripping, it has an utterly stunning soundtrack (by a Breton composer!) and it's visually gorgeous:

This is the first ever Irish-language TV show to get a primetime slot in Northern Ireland. And I would utterly love for the BBC to invest in more of this kind of thing (it's a BBC/TG4 coproduction). So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please help make it a success!

every time I see this I am eaten alive by jealousy so I finally looked it up

these are captive bred cheetahs at Cheetah Experience, a conservation organization in South Africa, the guy is a long term volunteer

A family of cheetahs sleep with the forest guard every night. When the Forest Dept. heard about it, they decided to check the veracity of the claim by installing a CCTV camera. This is what the camera recorded! Just amazing.

i feel like we could have been done with this post after "i never read adult books"

ya is a completely meaningless age category.

to elaborate, i never read adult books. books for teens are fucked up enough and i don't really wanna read a category thats trying to be more mature than a category that already has books about murder, gore, sa, etc.

ya, despite the name, has become the new teen category. if a book is rated ya, you can expect to find it in the teens category in the library.

however, its such an utterly confusing mess of a category that no one knows how to use it. people put books with pretty mild themes in the ya category, but because of the name, people understandably also use ya to categorise adult books.

this is most evident in an experience i had where i went to the book store, and saw a separate teens category next to ya..... and saw the exact same books in both. interestingly, The Hobbit was in the ya category, not teens or kids, despite being originally written as a kids book.

i love fantasy. i love the details in the writing and world building, so i had a look at the other fantasy books.

right next to The Hobbit, was the infamous dragonfucking book Dragonriders Of Pern. i didn't realise what it was and opened it to a graphic sex scene between a princess and a dragon with a dick the size of her arm.

see the problem? the category is so pointless that bookkeepers very understandably put The Hobbit and the dragon porn book in the same age category.

im not saying ya shouldn't have graphic scenes. im saying it should actually be a real age category. trust me, i was reading ya when i was 10. this is normal. lots of kids engage with "out of age" media. i certainly did and i was fine.

BUT WHY IS THERE PORN NEXT TO THE HOBBIT.

if other forms of porn is restricted as 18+, then why is it somehow unrestricted as a novel?

for reference, httyd (the books) are significantly bloodier and just generally fucked up than The Hobbit. httyd was in the kids section but why not the book with the short guy who smokes in a story intended for kids? right because Hiccup being sold into slavery and exploding a dragon into a shower of gore is more kid friendly than Bilbo and his satanic magic ring.

cant we just... abolish ya as a category? it doesn't mean anything, its just confusing. there should be categories like kids, teens, and adult, which should actually reflect the intended audience, not vibes based on people thinking smoking in fiction will rot a kids brain (its ridiculous, i watched twd from when i was 11 and all i got from it was "damn... this show went downhill")

I started watching this and it made me want to go to Donegal which is probably not the point
