#They are threatened by talent

[claraameliapond]

Anyone notice they always give bland actresses like Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence accolades and oscars whenever there's a ground breaking film that challenges the status quo, and has genuine talent and artistry?

I think it's because the "Academy" feels threatened by real talent and non white, non misogynistic art

They make themselves less and less relevant and less and less prestigious everytime they do this

Excluding people who are more talented than them? That's very Academy Awards. Self congratulatory parade? You must mean the Oscar's.

What a farce.

I've been saying this for years - it's a power play, a self congratulatory power play and ego trip.

They gave Olivia Coleman one, for gods sake. That was a put down to every other actor on the planet.

Angela Basset was deliberately snubbed in a put down so Jamie Lee Curtis could win? Really?

Austin butler's Elvis performance- that really was the best, excluded too: noone too talented, noone non white American, they'd never let Baz Luhrmann, an Australian, actually win.

They'd never let a female film about females like Barbie actually be nominated or acknowledged, but acknowledge the one male star in it for being progressive. Sure.

We can all see what you're doing, it's not subtle

Hatchetfield introduced entities so beyond comprehension that we can only understand them enough to fear. Endless beings of alien form and cruel intention, that incite world wars with glee and torment select people with a sick favoritism. The world is a game of little consequence, treated with sadistic humor. Entities both ageless and foul so far beyond the human mind that the mere presence of them twists and corrupts the very core of your being.

And you know who the most terrifying characters to me are?

A dude in a full denim suit and some jackass who calls himself Boy Jerry. Incredible

(and also a bird that smokes weed)

With the heavy caveat that I know people put their heart and soul into this show, having watched 6 seasons of this shit now, The Dragon Prince is just this to me

I root for this show as if it was my child’s little league team playing against the Dodgers. Like, they have the spirit, certainly. Can they actually hit a fastball going over 100mph? I think not.

i think it fucks immensely that bk moon went out of his way to 1) establish rakiel wished to live a long life and eventually pass away of old age, 2) have him very briefly envy an immortal being only to be told very clearly to be careful what he wishes for by that very same person because living forever isn't all it's cracked up to be, 3) make the main antagonist be another immortal being who is so desperate to die he's willing to destroy the universe just to finally rest and 4) have said antagonist psychologically torture rakiel with the threat of making him live for a thousand years as everyone he loves and knows eventually grows old and dies and becomes nothing but forgotten memories.

only to then end the novel by making rakiel also immortal

like. god. it's so fucking good i love it. i'm not being sarcastic i genuinely think it fucks and it's one of the best ways bk moon could've wrapped up the plot.

it's a happy ending by all means but it has consequences and through the entire novel we've been shown and told over and over again just how heavy the consequences are and/or will be on rakiel.

he got his happy ending but it was at a price and by the last time we see him he's only just starting to pay for it.

it's great i love it

Omg how does teacher girlie meet charli and Carly !!! I feel like she’d really get on well with Carly but charli would defo bring out her younger wild side, they’d be the ultimate girl group

this is so fun to consider!!!!

I think you know carly through school, Little hann goes to the same school you work at and you trained in his class so you've met both carly and Adam at various parent's evenings.

at your first one you were really fucking nervous standing at the front of the school greeting parents and just listening in for the actual meeting. you didn't say anything but smiled and nodded along with the teacher you were working with. After carly and Adam finished their meeting carly came up to you to have a quick chat.

"Hi! sorry to bother you, but you just seemed so nervous I had to say something. From what we've heard from our little one, he absolutely loves you. you're doing a great job, don't worry. " she soothingly places her hand on yours, and in that moment, you feel on the brink of crying.

you simply smile at carly and say, "thank you" and she can hear your shaky voice and see the mist in your eyes, so she doesn't say anything more just gives your hand a final squeeze and walks away.

you don't meet charli until a few months after you and matty are official and George is hosting a New years party.

you're standing in front of the mirror, stressing about what to wear as matty sits on the bed and insits you look beautiful in everything.

"You have to say that, you're my boyfriend." You say exasperatly, staring you decide this dress is shit too and pull it over your head.

"See, I think you should just wear that," matty says, standing up and coming behind you in the mirror, wrapping his arms around you.

you scoff and say, "Matthew, I'm in lingerie." You pause and stare at him in the mirror where he has on a cheeky smile and just nods assuredly.

"Please, as if you could cope with everyone seeing me like this. can you imagine knowing George has seen me in my underwear? You'd never let it go, " you say, smoothing your hands over his.

"mmm okay you're right. but honestly, baby, you'll look great in whatever you choose. don't stress too much, it's just George and charli." matty says with a shrug. he begins to walk away but spins around when he hears you shriek.

"WHAT. YOU DID NOT TELL ME CHARLI XCX WOULD BE THERE." You're looking at matty dumbfounded.

"I just assumed you knew!! we're going to George's house... where she lives... for a party... that she is hosting." As he explains his reasoning, you only get more and more stressed.

"But now there's even more pressure!!! she's like one of the hottest women alive??? I don't have anything to wear oh god-" You start pulling every dress out of your wardrobe and dramatically throwing it on the floor

After spending another 30 mins choosing a dress, you anxiously arrive, but any anxiety melts away when charli greets you with an enthusiastic, "Oh my god, hi!!! so great to finally meet the girl. matty has been obsessing over!!"

matty scoffs and tries to hide his embarrassment at being so blatantly called out, you simply scoff and say, "Oh I was just as bad, my poor friends are fucking sick of it!!"

charli laughed, dragged you away to get a drink, and you guys soon became close friends.

not long after you and charli became friends, you also grew close with carly, "the 75 wives and girlfriends have to stay close!" she'd said when you first went for coffee as a group.

it became a ritual when the boys were on tour. If you were all free on a Sunday morning, you, carly, Little hann, and charli would all go for a coffee.

if the boys were home, they might join you, or sometimes they are strictly banned if one of you has something to complain about.

"sorry matty you can't come! George has proper fucked charli off and she's about to slag him off for the next hour, and you're not trusted to not snitch!"

"What! that's bullshit! what if I promise I won't tell? " he says, pouting slightly.

"Mmm... Still don't trust you. Bye!" You say giving him a quick peck and running out of the house.

and when it's a weekend where can you all get pissed? absolutely you're going out.

drunk dancing until 3am, getting mcdonald's at a ridiculous time and all cackling so hard they kick you out for being too noisy. because it's breakfast time and all the grumpy businessmen are trying to get their 5am cappuccino, and you're all laughing about the time you and matty got caught in a green room on tour.

matty is very well versed in coming to pick you up from either the Hann House or Charli's. you always have sunglasses on and feel like death, and matty always has a cup of tea in a travel mug for you.

he loves how easily you bonded with them both. Your wild party girl side is so fun to see after he'd only ever seen you be professional (well... mostly). he loves how great you are with carly and Adams son, watching you interact with him and annie does give him wild baby fever.

speaking of baby fever... do we think teacher girlie and matty have any more kids??? I haven't even thought about it, but hmmm...

I love my wife so much. I spent hours today cuddling with her. I am so lucky to have her, and she is lucky to have me. She is my best friend, and the last 11 years of my life have been so much better because she's been with me.

if I'm being honest natsumi is the most intimidating of the blondes , miu isn't intimidating at all and junko has become predictable

Natsumi:Well well well, I can tell you have good judgement.

Miu:I don't mind not being seen as intimidating.

Junko:Heh, who knows? Maybe I'm just lowering your guard until the last moment, I don't need to be awfully predictable like the raging Chihuahua over there.

Natsumi:Talking a lot of shit for someone who's a pipsqueak without those boots.

Hajime:I can definitely tell you you're right that Natsumi can be dangerous when you get on her bad side...

Shuichi:I mean, I still think Junko is dangerous, she doesn't seem that way because usually Makoto is here to stop her.

Junko:Thank you. And you're right, if it wasn't for Makoto you all much worse off, you all should be thanking him.

Makoto:I don't need thanks or compensation for this, I do it cause I want to.
