I'm the happiest girl in the world for having seen three Elektras this week and concluded it with Semme, my fave <3

[ofbreathandflame-archive]

im sorry im breaking my anti fast for this bc its literally the most idiotic thing i have ever seen.

"some people hate sjm for the racism in her books"

yeah NO SHIT.

that has always been the point.

thats literally the entire point of being anti sjm posts. thats literally all we talk about in the anti tags. but shortsightedness and an unhealthy relationship with these characters has always blinded y'all to that fact.

you see this is why i could not stomach conversations because you guys constantly make a mockery of the problems in sjm's work and only acknowledge the problems for a 'gotcha' moment. EVERY SINGLE TIME we have talked about how the racism in sjm's work affects the writing of her characters you guys have made it into an anti feysand problem, and by doing that you have willingly separated yourself from the problems in the story. the reality is that the racism affects the way these characters are written -- including your favs. do not dare twist the main message of antis to fit some twisted little point you want to make toward specific blogs. i have been on my last account for over two years and EVERY TIME i -- or any anti -- has talked about the way sjm's racism bleeds onto the text we have been undermine, ran off our blogs, sent hate mail. so yeah it pisses me off to no end to be sent the dumbest post in the anti tags to ever exist. yall do not care about her racism, her misogynoir. if you did, you wouldn't be calling people brain dead for daring to dislike your favorite ship for valid reason -- i.e. the racism. we talked about the complexities of how racist the portrayal of the illyrians were -- and we were dismissed as anti feysand and therefore 'braindead.' we talked about the way women of color and the allusions of FGM (female genital mutilation)-- and we were called anti feysands and then dismissed. stay out of the anti tags -- especially if you are the ones perpetuating these dynamics. i was ran off my blog for discussing these issues for two years. y'all sent hate mail, called me tamlin stan -- called others tamlin stans -- for even daring to discuss the racism in sjm works. that's not even touching the nehemia situation, or crescent city. fuck off the tags. you literally have a blog dedicated to this woman and her racist ass characters, you shoot down any criticism of them because of it, and then yall have the nerve to come into the tags for the some hehe hahah tamlin stan bs??? double fuck off. the anti sjm tag has always been a place for that criticism. always.

addition: and these problems are not just valid when discussing characters you don't like. the illyrians are written to brutes, with the bat boys operating as the 'model minority'. the story justifies the lack of infrastructure, and the misogyny (misogynoir depending on how you classify illyrian women), the lack of progress.

'its a culture problem'

'rhysand has tried, but they wont listen'

like do you know how crazy it is to write a group of people as permanently mentally stunted? to classify their women as nameless entities that our main character can shift in and out of to satisfy her supposed 'man of color' sexually? feyre cosplays as a woman of color for SEX, meanwhile in FIVE BOOKS we've met one named illyrian woman and shes described 'interesting,' but not as pretty as opposed to nesta and gwyn, mor, and feyre who are the prettiest people to walk the earth. that don't sound CRAZY to yall??? these people of color are left without leadership, without infrastructure, no access to a golden city, no access to their high lord, are forced to breed out warriors who live and die without ever getting to enjoy the city of velaris, the house of wind for survivors. all of that so that the maincharacters can live out that power fantasy. its racist. thats what it is. please think consider reading comprehension b4 yall make these gotcha posts because it really stinks of weirdness.

the illyrians are treated like rabid animals by their leaders, by everyone and then the responsibility is on them to somehow progress when everyone is unwilling to give them nothing more than scraps. like there's a real life counterpart to this, and yall arguments are very real and very damaging.

they are written by the author to be a permanent second class deserving of their position because they're minds somehow cannot comprehend any 'progression.' all of these characters including rhysand, feyre, mor, az, cassian, tamlin, nesta say racist things toward them because THE NARRATIVE thinks they're justified in saying them. like the moralizing is wild in this case bc all of them are allowed to get away with it. its not just tamlin or nesta, not just the valkyries (which is an ENTIRELY different scenario btw). like the idea that all of the bad can be ascribed to the 'bad' characters and the 'good' characters somehow don't feed into those racist tropes is WILD. rhysand literally told us -- the reader -- the in the war against slaves and their oppressors somehow it was an equal battle. like?????? somehow 'both sides were at fault' ignoring that one side WAS LITERALLY SLAVES. like can u imagine if someone looked at the Haitian revolution and was like....yeah the side of the oppressors was somehow on equal footing when the other side WAS ENSLAVED? how can u acknowledge this author is racist and then pretend that the racism only bleeds over to the characters you *shockingly* don't like?? yes -- there is a problem with feyre wearing illyrian wings BECAUSE SHES THE HIGH LADY. she made herself that title. of course that carries a different weight. the racism is ingrained in the text, not just some little trinket to flash when you want to moralize bullying a small group of people with strawman arguments.

se algum dos neos fosse mineiro… quem seria e pq

open starter.

Jordan mal poderia esperar para saber como seria o seu segundo ano letivo em Nevermore. Depois de tantos anos tentando se encaixar, era como se funcionasse em perfeita sintonia com a academia, feliz por estar em um lugar onde não era mal vista por ser diferente. A única coisa que poderia ser um pouquinho melhor em sua noite? Se desse uma volta e fosse nadar, mas achou melhor reservar isso para outro momento. Sendo o primeiro dia, não arriscaria sair sozinha e acabar perdendo seus sapatos no fundo de um lago. Balançando as pernas ao ritmo da música e cantarolando baixinho, se interrompeu ao ver uma pessoa passando perto de si. — Eu não iria por esse caminho se fosse você. Acabei de ver um casal passando por aí e eles estavam discutindo bastante e, pelo o que eu ouvi da fofoca, não é coisa boa. — A sereia avisou logo de cara, afinal, se meter em discussões alheias podia ser meio constrangedor. — Tá bem movimentado por esse canto, sabia? Já vi gente chorando, DR, essas coisas todas. Não tem hora de acabar! Você vai mais tarde pro bar? É capaz de render mais assunto por lá.

El próximo sábado 30 de noviembre a las 18:00 de la tarde podréis echarle un vistazo al abismo en la librería Joker de Bilbao, amigos.

"Perros Atados es un libro combustible, irradiado por ese sentimiento de condena a cadena perpetua que es tan propio de Israel, el Irra; un puntazo canijo; Lázaro jurando en arameo con legañas en los ojos; más de Nazarín que del Nazareno. Y es que nadie hace Sevilla como Irra; naide." Santiago Sequeiros.

Junto a su autor, Irra, presentará el acto Koldo Azpitarte, guionista, divulgador y crítico de cómic.

Me skipping to the internet to get a look at Way of Shadow monks before I get too far with Irra: "Oh, what's this?"

More previews…. Cat is a really ironic animal for a character who’s supposed to embody “toxic masculinity” but hell, “cat whiskers” are a common midcentury diesel loco livery thing and OLC Greaseball kind of had a cat thing going on.
