#Amazon is trash

[beifong-brainrot]

You have no idea how the concept of elves and dwarves not conforming to human gender roles helped me come to terms with my own gender struggles. You have no idea. That was such an important part of my life and i feel like a show that touts itself as so progressive (even though the diversity theyve put in the show feels so hollow and preformative) would jump at the opportunity. But nooooo, boy elf = boy human, girl dwarf = girl human but short, I guess.

The fact that Amazon is claiming to be all progressive with their Rings of Power series yet all the male elves have short hair and all the female elves have long flowing locks.

Weak, Amazon, weak.

whoever needs to hear this: if you got a disability, if you don’t know if you have something, if you ever think “it’s not that bad” if you have a thing about guilt, if you’re ill, Anything: listen. it is okay to throw things away.

you can throw it away. if it sucks and it stresses you the fuck out, if you just “need the right time to fix it” for the past 3 months. or years. if you loved it once upon a time but it makes you feel kinda weird and guilty now. if it’s a jacket youve reaaaally been meaning to mend and then donate. a jar of sauce that “all you have to do” is clean out to recycle but it’s been a week and now there’s a small colony growing in it. slowly shredding to bits fabric scraps you plan to use to fix something. busted picture frame. cracked mug. old shoes. extra box. an entire pack of granola bars that you hate so much but don’t want to waste.

life is already so goddamn difficult for us. i know you still care about recycling and the environment and sustainability. but it’s okay, i promise. sometimes you have to take care of your space. sometimes you have to cut your losses so you can actually have energy to recycle the next thing. get rid of the old shirt before it turns into a tornado pile of guilt under the bed. you’re not a bad person. you can throw this one away.

My kindle was bought and paid for years ago, but apparently you need to pay extra to get the screen to stop downloading and presenting you new ads. I fucking hate the very principle of this.

Previously they’ve been trashy romance books with women embracing dragons which I didn’t care that much about. It was a vague annoyance.

But now they’re fucking insane AI generated garbage.

This one popped up recently. At first I was like, “Where the fuck is his thumb.” But then other things started jumping out. Like the insane words. “The Sprit”. The gibberish plinth they’re standing on.

In a similar vein

I like to call this one, “Oops all bodies” as the main unicorns are just fused together. They must be fucking either Sleipnir or Shelob cause then you start to see all the extra legs on those monstrosities.

There’s also a strain of Rugged Manly Books

This atrocity popped up. They doubled down on that tricky hand and made it facing both ways just to be safe. Also gave the sword two hilts. Just to be safe. Couldn’t bother to fit the text on the cover or decide where the rest of the sword was.

This title can’t even be deciphered into English. That poor fire is being menaced by the weirdest dagger of all time and the hands once more trying to cover all their bases.

Yeah Viv is going to super hell lol

I want to be shocked so badly but to the point of having most of the angels being vague black women whereas velvette/alastor are loose caricatures of mishandled lost potential I don't know what to tell this fandom anymore.

It's ridiculous how much this fandom chooses to speak actively over black voices instead of lifting to encourage the fact that vivs writing is sooooo racist as HELL<3

And the name changes persist ...

"Jed" instead of "Zed"

PLEASE, translators and staff at Seven Seas, I know you want to differentiate between the fan translation and the official translation, but does every minor character's name have to be changed?

Also interesting fact: The translator has changed.

The first novel lists Henry Shin and Lauren Na as translators. The second one Henry Shin and two others:

No idea what this means or if the change will even be noticeable when reading the book.

Annatar? More like Anna-TRASH. Or is it Anna-recycling? Anna-compost??

I loved this season of Fallout so much. I think they touched on every part of what's good about fallout: the suspense, the horror, the comedy, the morality, the mystery. Ugh I just think it was so so well done.

I remember watching the first few episodes and thinking "shit I hope they dip into the Lovecraftian horror that the games tend to get into" and I know it wasn't quite all the way there, but I felt like the scene with the worshiping surface dwellers in Vault 4 came pretty close and was really cool. It was a really interesting buildup from worship service to slightly disturbing/unsettling elements involving blood sacrifice. I was reminded a bit of the Children of Atom from Far Harbour and their worship of the Mother of the Fog. FUCK

idk man I just feel like this was a tv adaptation of a series made by people who love the series and that really makes my chest warm.

hey y’all, I see people praising amazon prime for treating their queer rep well (and why it would be a good home for OFMD)

Let’s not forget

Paper Girls (Axed after one fantastic season)

League of Our Own (Also axed after one fantastic season)

Both were popular. Both had amazing queer rep (primarily lesbians) and Prime still axed them.

I’m not saying OFMD wouldn’t fair well on there (they only need one more season after all), but don’t put Prime on a pedestal as this great LGBTQ- friendly platform. They’ve treated us like trash too.

I just think it would be funny if they were opposites in their opinions of the mornings.
