i hate when aromanticism & QPPs are used as an excuse for queerbaiting. because i know damn well those creators were not thinking about us. we deserve characters & stories that were written with us in mind, that were written BY us, that have relish in everything aro, our unique experiences and perspectives, and the MANY ways in which we can have relationships. not just allo character sloppy seconds.

medieval lit is really fun. there will be a footnote that is like “nobody knows what the author meant there and scholars have been debating it for centuries”

Spoilers for spl vol 4

I dont know how Priest has done it but she made politics ROMANTIC like the way I screamed over Chang Geng sending that letter to Gu Yun detailing all his future plans for the country and the government and his hopes for a peaceful life and he's going to make it all happen just so Gu Yun doesnt have to fight anymore??

This man is changing THE WHOLE ECONOMY AND STRUCTURE OF A NATION for the express purpose of having the man he loves live a happy war-free life. He's gonna build a wholeass cross-country railway system just so Gu Yun can have an easier time traveling and sending supplies.

Chang Geng is royalty, quite possibly the next in line for the throne yet here he is begging Gu Yun to "let him be his pawn".

What does Priest put in her romances because this PEAK ROMANCE. CHANGGU IS IT.

NYT has been discouraging reporters from sharing photos of luigi mangione - not due to concerns for his safety but to dissuade sympathy - and refuses to post his alleged manifesto in full. and today, they published an opinion by bret stephens about how brian thompson is the "real working class hero" of this story.

reddit deleted luigi's account, which was completely innocuous and consisted mostly of him giving out advice in health subreddits. they're also deleting any post that includes his alleged manifesto and banning users for sharing it.

luigi yelled that this was "an insult to the intelligence of the american people" while he was being dragged by police and news pundits are framing it as a deranged and violent outburst. news media are picking apart details of his life to paint him as a cold-blooded and mentally ill individual. even something as innocent as playing "among us" with friends is being framed as some insidious look into an assassin's disturbed psyche, ffs.

news media are also capitalizing on luigi's supposed "bizarre and impossible to understand" politics as an obvious way to paint him as a scary individual when the guy is... a centrist, at most. whose views are similar to those of your average college-educated white guy.

multiple news media also keep harping on about how luigi comes from a rich family. an obvious attempt to break the class solidarity that's been formed around this case by continuously trying to tell us "oh he's not like you guys" while ignoring the now pretty well-documented accounts of his multiple health struggles throughout the years.

and all this, and he hasn't even been found guilty of the crime he's allegedly committed. luigi is, as of right now, still innocent until proven guilty. and the news are trying to tear him apart because they obviously fear the symbol he's becoming for low and middle class america.

Han’s lucky that Alderaan blew up because their press would eat him alive. My guy has to contend with the fact that the last Viceroy who married into the royal family is Bail freaking Organa and he ran drugs for a living. Somewhere there is a space Piers Morgan throwing a fit about it.

"han solo would be star wars meghan markle in an alderaan isn't exploded au" isnt meta i ever expected to read but it is nonetheless very correct

trump assassin #1 registered republican who donated to the democrats. Trump assassin #2 voted trump 2016 supported Bernie and Tulsi in 2020 tried to volunteer to fight in ukraine. UHC assassin center right tech bro on twitter gave the unibombers manifesto 4/5 stars on goodreads. This stupid beautiful country really is pioneering politically incoherent centrist extremism.
