No but really, they’re positioning Tristan/Vivian (Hot Chef) as a parallel to Max/Avery (mirrored costumes, mirrored dance partners),

but yet even though Vivian was IN THE ROOM as Tristan was being treated, he reaches up and grabs Max and Avery’s hands to hold. THOSE THREE were the center of the scene.

its so petty of me but something that never fails to make me steam is gideon the ninth book reviews where people point out the 'plot hole' or 'bad characterisation' in chapter two when Gideon sabotages her stated goal of getting away from the Ninth by agreeing to duel Harrow because it 'doesn't make sense' and 'contradicts her character objective'

like THAT'S THE POINT! it's literally the point!! You have known this character for all of thirty pages, you are still learning her character objectives! And what you could be learning from this scene is that the opportunity to make Harrow pay attention to her superceeds any and every other priority!

It's not a plot hole! It's just gay!!

i think it's funny that tamsyn muir can concieve of and convincingly write so many different types of people. a downtrodden jock with self-esteem issues. a twitchy little nerd with layer upon layer of self-hatred and guilt. a slimy, power-hungry princess desperately trying to escape the shadow of her sister. a middle-aged biologist who accidentally became God. the soul of a murdered planet with amnesia. so many types of people, with so many neuroses and hangups and hopes and tragedies informing characterization so layered and complex it can take hours to unpick. to say nothing of the way she writes the relationships between those characters. and through all of that. through all of the flashbacks and hints and unreliable narrators and infinitely suggestive lines of dialogue. she has yet to create a single one of them who is not attracted to women.

think about it. some of them are bisexual. but that's as far as it goes in the other direction. some of them are unconfirmed. but there is not a single character whose sexuality or romantic history is explored in any detail, who is not attracted to women. i find that extremely funny.

also, not to derail the previous thread, but look me in the eye and tell me Paprika isn't Art in any way that matters

Sometimes being aro/ace in fandom is just. You open an app. You see a very banal and fandom-typical but at the same time mind-bogglingly allo- and/or amatonormative take. You take a deep breath. You close the app. You do it all again later.

It's so funny the dudes on Twitter who are like "we can't let China get to the moon before we go back!" It's like dude. We already did go to the moon. We beat the space race 50 years ago. If China wants to do their own thing and go to the moon let em do it. They're doing them right now.

I just started teaching and I love all my kids, but most especially the middle school girl I met at lunch today who, upon noticing me standing nearby, took the mxtx book she had sitting on the table (mdzs 1, if you were curious) and flipped it over as nonchalantly as she could. I didn’t say anything but in my head I was like “miss ma’am I know that’s not an appropriate series for a 13 year old”

I almost said something about how I’d read it just because I knew it would horrify the kiddos to realize that I too am a person who reads books and that would be hilarious to watch. but alas I did not. maybe next time

"why would anyone ship these two ultra weird people who have a hilarious dynamic and who, despite their differences, have always supported each other when the chips are down. must be the hets" yeah idk must be.

think the funniest part about ep 68 of riptide is how grizzly described drey as being like 6’2 or so when ichabod met him (granted he also had a bit of a slouch so he didn’t appear his full 6’2 iirc). his ass is NOT 6’2 i am a 5’7-5’8 drey ferin TRUTHER !!!!

look i get the point of the post saying "you BETTER be just as outraged as you were ab notre dame!!" But maybe I'm just hanging out with the right people because I don't know a single person that was "outraged" about notre dame. At best I think some people were like "damn that kinda sucks oh well".

[thinkingabout-girls]

been drawing a lot more art that i don’t post recently and i can’t tell if it’s because im partaking in the joy of creating things for myself or if it’s because so much of my art gets so little traction that part of me has just given up

deranged thought of the day is that each of harvey specter’s exes reflect mike ross somehow. anyways

sorry to be a bitch but it's really really funny how "shadowheart is a lesbian" gets basically no pushback on this webbed site but if you even hint that astarion might be gay everyone comes out of the woodwork to shriek "HE'S CANONICALLY PANSEXUAL!!!!" at you
