#anyway i really enjoyed the new episode

[lloydfrontera]

y'know what's funny in a 'not really funny at all but i have to laugh or i'll start biting people' kind of way??

the adaptation team working overtime to make the relationship between javier and lloyd look so much less deeper than it actually is in the novel makes the novel look so much gayer than it already did on its own. like. sorry but your attempts to cover up the homoerotism just makes it stand out more in its absence.

because if there truly was nothing remarkable about lloyd and javier's relationship and they were just very good friends and nothing else then why take the time and effort to change it in the adaptation so they look less close than they actually are.

why skip entire scenes that make their relationship deeper. why change their dialogue and thoughts so they're less invested in one another. why give interactions that they had with each other to their romantic interests. actually why give javier a whole new love interest that did not exist in the novel.

why go through so much trouble to change something that is so important in the source material if there truly was nothing else going on in the novel.

what was it about their relationship that made the adaptation team decide they just needed to change everything about it so they weren't as close and attached as they were originally.

if they were truly nothing but platonic with each other in the source material then why change their relationship so much in the adaptation that it's almost unrecognizable.

what about it did they find so unappealing that they simply had to modify it until it was but a shadow of itself.

in trying to cover up something they only managed to call attention to it by the people who knew what was there originally. now we know that they wanted to get rid of it so badly they were willing to butcher the story and plot for it.

it's really funny :)

one more teaspoon of salt, tho it's more moody and navel-gaze-y this time

remember when i still enjoyed nie huaisang as a character... remember when i wrote meta just about him and did deep dives into his character in both the novel and cql....

what else do the die-hard nie stans plan to take from me 😢

Me normally: Let people love what they love

Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE

I have found a beautiful perfect humble rock specimen that is light yellow with a weird dark yellowy brown lining, somewhat resembling a chunk of smoked gouda cheese... effervescent

Still thinking about how someone at the party I was at last night mentioned Always Sunny in a conversation with someone else on the other side of the room and I was suddenly Activated.

Had a lovely time trying not to be too weird, but also definitely being weird and getting to explain the insane context for some of the stuff on the show to @pog-mo-bhlog, then realised that I had apparently got so excited that I was no longer overstimulated, as I had taken my headphones off and didn't need them for the rest of the night.

It's like a special autism bonus. Activate my special interest and I will successfully cope with an overstimulating environment.

Of course, I did then go home and watch some Sunny.

[pankomako]

dude i swear if i actually make gang's bay a real show and i write a joke about being trans people are gonna be like "this is incredibly offensive to trans people" and im gonna have to come out and be like "yall im literally a trans person writing myself im just having a laugh why cant you too"

like seriously where's the line between a joke poking fun for laughs and a joke that's actually offensive? i feel like that's a little bit subjective dontcha think

Ok listen I get people are upset again bc of a con statement but did we collectively forget it’s not even certain Cas is in the prequel isn’t it a bit quick to say “Jensen’s answer dooms future destiel” if we don’t even know if this hypothetical “future destiel” even exists

[emojiheart]

HMM not sure if im excited for wwdits or not...

[bluefaewren]

i need to finish this fic so i can go back to writing weird shit

[theriverdalereviewer]

NEW UPDATE: I watched this show called dare me

[catshavefeelings]

My most controversial take is that oshi no ko sucks after the first 10 chapters and its desperately trying to fill the hole that act age left. And the only reason it's succeeding is bc act age isn't there to compete with it

to knowis to be loved and to be known is to b eloved. I want transgender friends who will know me and love me in a way that cis people usually do not

[captain-harpo]

I think that what's getting me about the pjo show's writing is that the book is so much more of an adventure because of all the little side plots of discovery (lotus, procrustes, medusa etc). And in the show they have to cut out all the discovery and (episodic!) side plots to streamline everything for the main plot since they only have eight half-hour(ish) episodes. It would have been such a cool Monster-of-the-Week! But instead we have this over-explained mass where instead of working together to figure things out and learn over time how to do things they take turns painfully going over everything that's happened and everything that will happen and why it's important before attempting to sacrifice themselves. And they've said "go save your mom" so many times now and I'm tired
