I love that Gideon the Ninth is marketed as a space opera when like 95% of it takes place on Earth. It’s marketed as lesbians exploring a gothic castle in space, but it’s NOT. The castle is very much on Earth!! I mean, we don’t know that it was Earth until book 3, in which case we were in space by then anyway, but still!

Alastor being all “Charlie is like a daughter to me!” when in fact their relationship is usually polite antagonism at best is so damn funny to me. Like he never even really believed in Charlie’s ambitions, he was at the Hotel for laughs, but then an opportunity falls into his lap to taunt Lucifer in emotionally damaging ways and get away with it and he ran.
#y’all gotta remember that Alastor laughs at orphans in his introduction. he does not want to parent. this was just pettiness.#hazbin hotel#hazbin spoilers#hazbin alastor#hazbin lucifer#radio demon#lucifer magne#lucifer morningstar#max.txt

it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...
#the picture of dorian gray#lit#this is a pointless text post#guess what i read for the first time in the year of our lord 2023#and yes this is a real review on storygraph that i took a screenshot of. you people are so stupid god bless#girl he literally censored it himself did your edition have 0 introduction or background at all#greatest (s)hits#book discourse

When burning to death in a fiery chasm isn't even the worst thing that's happened to you
#tolkien#silmarillion#maedhros#silm crack#his own character introduction is him being unable to do anything but watch as his father's insanity burns away any support they could get#from valinor in their quest to defeat a god#he laughs one (1) time and it further increases the geopolitical tensions between the noldor and sinda

Dpxdc 180
Did Danny abuse the fact the GIW needed his parents tech. Yes of course. Danny not phantom seemed to be the trouble maker as of late. His parent threatened to withhold tech and blue prints from them if the GIW touched their kids.
Did he get caught breaking ember and boxy out of a government facility? yes. He expected the lecture he got.
The next jail break. It was not him. It was sam, Then the third. Also not him. That was Val… then it was Tucker. But not him.
The blame fell on him.
He did not expect to be shipped out of state. The GIW were happy to cover all costs. Even got him into a decent highschool. And had an apartment all arranged.
Gotham?
Not where he was expecting.
The assassination attempts. Also surprising.
Not so surprising. Tucker found out the GIW wanted to “silence” him. Offering a lot of money.
Of course his parents don’t listen. He is 15 perfectly fine to be all alone. Even if he is near some place with the nickname crime alley. Nope. He is just being dramatic. They tell him no one wants him dead.
#dpxdc crossover#dpxdc#dcxdp prompt#dpxdc prompt#giw want him out of the picture#do they put out hits on him of course#Danny didn’t try think it through#he got way with it why wouldn’t he just keep doing it#bats are just wondering why this kid is on so many hit lists#jack and Maddie just dont believe Danny#think he is being dramatic#why would ppl put a hit on him?#Danny had been stabbed 6 times#that’s enough please#red hood takes one look and goes#what is this#that is a child#Valarie is a part of team phantom#she befriended cujo with a re introduction#the Giw also didn’t think this through#they expected him to be dead before anyone took notice

Thinking about the fact that, to pull Gale from the stone and get him in the game at all, you have to decide to try to touch an extremely dangerous looking swirling mass of unstable magic. Something that is, objectively, a terrible idea
Like, the options it gives you are to either touch the sigil or leave, and if you leave you just... don't get Gale in the party
You have to take the risk. You have to let your curiosity override your common sense. You have to look at this unstable, possibly dangerous malfunctioning magic sigil and go "...Ok, but what if I poke it?"
In short, to get Gale in your party, you have to do exactly what he would in that situation, and indulge in a moment of reckless curiosity. And I just think that's delightful
#meta#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#i'm positive this has all been said before but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#on a meta-gaming level of course it's just a matter of committing to the bit#the equivalent of that time in an actual dnd game when i said ''idk guys this sounds like a plot hook. we should probably go check it out''#but on a watsonian/character level? objectively not a great choice safety-wise#my husband for instance completely missed gale at first because he went ''...i'm not touching that thing it seems dangerous''#and idk. i just kinda love that for him. perfect introduction. nice little litmus test for if you can handle his chaos lol

Often when trans women ask me when I'm performing next, and I tell them that it's a queer/trans event, they will tell me that they'd rather not go because they do not feel comfortable or safe in those spaces, that they have been dismissed or belittled at such events before. Even trans women who are dyke- or bisexual- identified often don't feel welcome or relevant in queer/trans spaces. And whenever a trans woman or ally points out aspects about the queer/ trans community that contribute to these feelings of irrelevancy and disrespect—such as the way our community coddles those who support trans-woman-exclusionist events or who make trans-misogynistic comments—we are described as being "divisive." This use of the word "divisive" is particularly telling, as it implies that "queer/trans" represents a uniform movement or community—a "oneness"—rather than an alliance where all voices are respected.
Julia Serano, Whipping Girl. Published 2007.
#reading#just finished it and this from the final chapter was my fav moment and one of the few times i was nodding along#the book is solid in certain places#even incisive at times#but it is so theoretically confused and downright wrong in some of its foundatioms#that i CANNOT recommend it as an introduction to transmisogyny and i can only SUGGEST it as a v critical read#may say more later#whipping girl#transmisogyny
