Friendly reminder that actors are actors and are not the fictional character they play!

Olivia Cooke shared that she was depressed and couldn't leave her own home after seeing people hating on her because of her role as Alicent Hightower. Just another example of how toxic asoiaf/hotd fans are, who've bullied even Kit Harington, Rose Leslie, Sophie Turner, and Lena Headey over opinions they've made about the story or simply playing characters that they dislike.

"Obviously. I had a scroll on Twitter. It’s awful. It’s hideous. People are so mean. That’s the thing, no one has anything nice to say. No one, who goes and has the gumption to commit thoughts to a tweet, has anything nice to say. So I was a bit depressed, and didn’t want to leave the house for a little bit. But you have to, it's weird. You have to pick the scab. You have to see what people are saying. I haven't been on it for a very long time since just 'cause people are wild. I'm an evil hag in so many people's eyes. I had no idea that that's what people would come away thinking. " - Olivia Cooke

Go ahead and hate the characters you hate, but please don't forget that the actors are human beings who are just doing their job.

This might be a bit controversial but I’m just going to leave it here for discussion. Of all the amazing women from the Enlightenment / Frev, the Olympic Committee chose her (wherefore the proto-republican philosopher, Sophie de Grouchy or scientific pedagogue and philosopher, Emilie de Chatelet?! @enlitment). Or perhaps the dashing de Merincourt, industrious de Kéralio, ambitious Roland, activist Etta Palm d’Aelders, or (Romantic) intellectual, de Stael?

Then they bigged her up beyond parody, describing her as a femme politique (non! No known participation in any clubs or salons) and a campaigner for women’s rights (non again; here de Grouchy would be closer to the mark with her joint pamphlet with Condorcet, Cité des femmes etc.) De Gouges’ main output was plays rather than politics.

Yes, she wrote the witty rejoinder to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen, but it was one of many pamphlets she self-published, and sandwiched between a dedication to the Queen and a complaint about being ripped off by a cabby driver.

she promoted the right to divorce (as did some men), rights for bastard children, a maternity hospital and novel proposals for raising public funds. other pamphlets were complaints about being ignored, suggestions for improving public morals (society women as culpable as ‘public’ women (ie prostitutes)), and attacks on the radicalism represented by Marat, the Jacobins and/or Robespierre.

As far as I know, she did not protest against the active/passive citizen distinction.

When the Amis des Noirs pressure group started to gain traction and social acceptance (Condorcet, Brissot and Lafayette were leading members), she rewrote her play on the Esclavage des Negres in 1788 to make it more political, with a preface urging recognition for the rights of ‘hommes Negres’, suggesting they would be happy to continue working the fields as free men. The main reason it wasn’t performed was not its subject matter but because she had previously tried to pull (social) rank on the Comédie-francaise to get her plays to the front of the queue, and had a massive bust-up with its director.

Don’t get me wrong, she was often a delightful and witty writer but also markedly eccentric and very much her own woman in a world of her own. Other women played far more prominent roles in trying to secure real change and better opportunities.

Probably the single greatest manifesto for improvements in women’s condition (but not the vote, or at least not yet), imho was Mary Wollstonecraft’s powerful appeal for equality in education (and to stop treating women like vain, simpering idiots defined by nature’s gifts - I’m looking at you JJ!). Talleyrand and the NA had proposed universal education only up to nine for girls.

PS she was also made a poster ‘girl’ for the Front Populaire with the slogan, ‘Gouges-toi’ (Bouge-toi), Which is actually pretty good!

PPS as for those headless Marie-Antoinettes in red, singing about Liberté along the Conciergerie, wow, just wow!

There's a post going around titled "Girl Math" about a bunch of awesome women in in mathematics fields. Unfortunately, OP is a TERF. So I have stolen the images and will be putting them under the cut. OP is named "radically aligned," because credit where credit is due (even if they are a TERF).

But while I am at it, let's also give a shout-out to Lynn Conway, a trans woman who co-developed what essentially became today's "microchip," allowing scores of individual components to be integrated into one small chip. If you like being able to go Tumblr, there's a high chance that Ms. Conway is to thank!

Same energy, tbh.

Emily Carey as Sophie Collins has to be the best thing I’ve ever brought to this world. Like I neeeeddd them to play Sophie in an adaption!

[scungles]

As a young adult (early 20’s), I hope to be as open and loving and vulnerable and compassionate as emily one day. She is so inspirational, watching her act with empathy and love with every choice she makes. I know it’s a game but she’s so sincere, it brings me to my knees. Seeing a beautiful, powerful, feminine woman being so radically loving to every creature around her, real or imaginary, is fucking poetic and I love that woman. What a role model to have.

I wonder if most of the CrossCode soundtrack is canon.

Like, is the music that you the player the same things that the characters hear? Do the environments have their own built-in soundtracks playing, like when Lea is running around Autumn's Rise is she hearing the same music you are? If she's going on a killing spree trying to farm items for a new pair of boots does the S-Rank Battle theme kick in when she gets an S Rank? I know not all the songs can be canon, because I highly doubt that that Emilie actually has her own Theme of French theme playing whenever she has a moment, and I don't think Shizuka was in too much of a mood to make she sure she had her own boss theme playing when that fight happened.

I do think Gautham commissioned his own boss themes though. You don't do all that and don't fully commit to the bit.

So it might be on a case by case basis.

i feel lea and emilie fit that shorter lesbian taller lesbian meme :]

I think my favorite trope in middle grade books is how firmly the narrator manages to convince themselves they're going to have a "normal" anything. (vacation, walk, school year, etc)

Like it's definitely not healthy in any way, but I admire their total commitment to it. like, bud. did you see the cover of this book? the MC tries so hard to have the major plot point not happen so hard, and they never succeed.

feel free to add if you know of more books/MC's that do this, I made a list in the tags, but it's kinda short.
