can somebody please tell me how does the haiku bot find the haiku

maybe im a hater but calling the lesbian relationship "a gay ship for straights" while calling a non canon mlm relationship "a gay ship for gays" genuinely pisses me off so bad like how the hell is a relationship between two Black lesbians, one of which is masc, for straight people. like, honestly if we're gonna play that game, straight women fetishize Buck and Eddies relationship way more, it's way more popular with straight audiences, while Hen and Karen's storylines get ignored by straight fans AND gay fans. like Christ just say you people do not care about lesbians or female characters one fucking bit

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Critical Role (Web Series) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Laudna/Imogen Temult, Delilah Briarwood & Laudna Characters: Laudna (Critical Role), Delilah Briarwood, Imogen Temult Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, Pre-Relationship, Angst, Self-Worth Issues, POV Laudna (Critical Role), death imagery, Character Study, I wrote this instead of studying, Laudna realizes she has feelings for Imogen, she doesn't know what to do, sadly Delilah is there to be unhelpful, Campaign 3 (Critical Role), Self-Loathing Laudna, sorry in advance Summary:

"Laudna doesn't have much to call her own: her body falling to pieces, her mind lost somewhere between Tal'Dorei and Marquet, her soul shared with another. But whatever she does have, she will gladly give to make sure Imogen gets the best life can offer. Part of her wishes she can be the one to provide that. Another part, more audacious, desires to be able to live that quiet life they were both denied alongside Imogen."

OR: Laudna realizes two crucial things in quick succession: firstly, she is in love with Imogen Temult; and secondly, she can't let Imogen find out.

i told my mother the short version of how aemond lost his eye in hotd and that alicent tried to take lucerys’ eye in return and all the different reactions in the fandom. then i asked her if she thought alicent was wrong and what would she do if someone cut my eye

mom said she would do worst (and i love her for that)

[mariaaxescallop]

Someone’s lost an eye! I’m so amazed every time Paddy basically tells you to let it go. Simultaneously, Rhaenyra is playing quite a basic game: Lie hard, do not back down, and weaponize this word ‘treason’.

In case you needed more reason to hate the Avatar movies

[mariaaxescallop]

Not Toya saying "I made Mary and Shannon a couple" bc she just assumed based on the text that they **had** to be. I love her and she is so right.

me when someone asks me how i’m doing

[mariaaxescallop]

I am going to need about 12 billion fix it / reunion fic now because Netflix is terrible and didn’t renew Warrior Nun, which was dirt cheap to make AND somehow still managed to pull the numbers it did with zero promotion.

And I am trying really hard not to side eye all the cancellations of diverse shows between HBO Max, Amazon Prime, and Netflix, but there is a pattern emerging that cannot be ignored — they’re all the racially diverse or LGBTQ+ shows getting the axe. Paper Girls, First Kill, the entire DCTV block, Batgirl, Tom Swift, Westworld, the Nevers, I’m Not Okay, Minx.

Warrior Nun S2 is just the latest one. It was set up to fail. They didn’t set up interviews for the cast, send it to reviewers, they put it between the Crown and Manifest S4, they didn’t promote it at Tudum. Simon Barry even said that they had zero promotion budget, and you could tell because we never got a release date, just “winter 2022.”

The fact that it did as well as it did, cracked the Global Top 10, and received high fan engagement and articles writing about it was a miscalculation on their part, and honestly I think an embarrassment to them. Because it shows how little they care about diverse shows that 1) don’t feature straight white male or 2) aren’t part of an existing IP/franchise. They were caught flatfooted when they realized how popular it could have been with just an ounce of support.

How do you kill things so prematurely, when you know there is an audience there? Even if they are renewed, shows aren’t safe, because they are reversing the season renewal. And in the case of HBO Max, they are making decisions that make zero sense - who kills shows that are mid-production or nearing the end of their production (Minx).

And why is it always us who gets cut first? It is never the straight white dude show. If something gets saved, it is the (maybe) gay white dude show. Like you can’t be 2 or more. You can only be one (1) and also that one show is all you get for representation.

And the fact that the decision makers are all conservative white dudes (Bezos, David Zaslav, and Reed Hastings) who love Trump and Elon Musk just makes me wonder if that is the goal in the first place.

Not to make money because they have enough. They just want to kill us by taking away all our representation in these shows, just to destroy our culture on purpose because they can take the damn hits to their belts.

I hate this. The promise of streaming as the safe haven for diversity was always a bit of a sham, but somehow this is worse, knowing the creative community wants to make these shows but studios don’t want to platform it. They’ll give us one or two seasons and then force the creators to abandon it with “you can’t shop it anywhere else for 3 years” clauses.

How the fuck are we supposed to see ourselves reflected in art if they keep taking our shows away from us? If not streaming, where the fuck do we go now?
