#its boring

nora: andrew and neil don't do this because it's not something they're comfortable doing. this is not something that bothers them, they have no desire to do this thing. here is three books to show how in character this lack of desire is for both of them.

half the aftg fandom: here is a whole bunch of fanart and fics of andrew and neil doing those things because it's cute and if they don't their relationship is toxic. nora doesn't know the characters like i do

I am being so serious right now, the one thing that truly makes me sad and disappointed in the asoiaf adaptions, all of them, is how magicless they feel. like . they are sucking all the magic out of the plot. even though it is a fantasy story!!! but the magic is so flat in the series, its almost not even there, well, besides the dragons but even that is so luckluster I guess.....it could be more, but alas

Another one done.

I'm not sure if I'll be starting another patch or working on something else.

I was around someone who was sneezing and they said it was allergies. I didn't suspect anything because same.

Unfortunately they had a cold or something. It knocked me clear on my behind but! I seem to be past the fever portion of it.

All will be well with rest!

what was the point of Golem. like its not as though wildbow thought he Did Something and failed. he just created a character and did nothing with him. guess you could argue that theo is Supposed to be a subversion of a chosen one thing and that him being boring and having no personality or opinions is part of his avoidance deal but like a) then why have him accept jack's challenge in the first place and b) i still do not care. motherfucker was raised by abusive nazis and doesn't even have an opinion on that one way or another CMON NOW go girl give us nothing!!!!!

Does anyone feel like the reason Malewife became such a big thing on tumblr is because people perceive masculinity is threatening? And the only non-problematic way to enjoy a "het" (m/f does not equal het) ship is to have the male character be utterly disconnected from the concept of traditional masculinity when it makes little to no sense with the canon.

At risk of sounding pretentious: I hate modern zombie movies. They're actions and shooters. I want my horror zombies, my scary zombies. My "it won't die, oh God it won't die- its still moving. It's following us."

Please please please give me a chilling zombie movie. I'm taking away your zombie privileges until you guys learn to be more creative.

You are actually the only person I have seen say anything that makes sense regarding HDWR recently, thank you for your good takes. I love this manga, but it really feels like I’m not reading the same story as most people sometimes

I for the record think that there is a lot (in fact i'd say majority) of interesting discussion about hdwr, even now, (just the other day in the main tag i saw a post that i liked talking about tamaki as a character & her and miwa's relationship and despite the subreddit having a lot of silly posts lately i think a couple months ago around ch. 113's release there were a lot of good comments about MiwaSae and both of their development throughout the story and I think even now there's good discussion about ch. 119 and miwa and tamaki burried in the silly stuff) and in some sense like i feel like the current wave with ch. 119 was always going to happen, it's a very emotionally charged topic that we're seeing how much it hurt a character people tend to like so like i understand being upset by it and having strong opinions about it.

That all being said, the kind of discussion that tends to surround the story of "sae was unfair/toxic to miwa" "tamaki has always been manipulative" "yuria is unfair to sae" are baffling to me because I feel like to get anything out of this story- to not instantly just be frustrated with it- you have to interact with it a little bit on its terms and I think part of that is acknowledging that these characters are more complex than the simple one word "abusive/toxic/manipulative/innocent" labelling and have complex emotions and imperfect reasoning that cause them to make mistakes, be cruel to each other, and do the wrong things. This doesn't excuse the characters' actions but that's not what the story is interested in doing anyway.

And like, I don't think the story is for everyone, I don't think everyone has to want to interact with the story on those terms; which is why while i personally don't agree with the kind of people who say "i had to stop reading when miwa and sae broke up bc it was too sad/too frustrating" and the like, I can at least understand it as just the story has goals that reader doesn't want to engage with, which is completely understandable. Where it confuses me is getting so far through the story and still not choosing to interact with the story on its terms. What are you getting out of this story then??? Does viewing sae as toxic enhance the story for you? Is it a useful way in looking at the narrative?

Especially since I feel like tamifull has attempted to make these characters realistic almost to invite us the reader to examine both ourselves and our relationships as we read. Is How Do We Relationship a useful tool to to analyze yourself or your own relationships with if you flatten the characters into good and bad? Is that a lens you'd want to view your own relationships with? I don't think so. I feel like the only things it could lead to is "i wouldn't make that mistake because I'm not toxic." "i wouldn't find myself in this situation because me and my partner aren't like them." So like. What benefit does viewing these characters in this way give you? You clearly seem to agree with/like the goals of the story if you're still here 100+ chapters later so like. What are you getting out of this?

I dunno. Like i said, I do think there's still a lot of good discussion about hdwr. That's why I still lurk the subreddit and read posts in the main tag. It's just this specific genre of discussion i can't understand especially when it happens with like more recent chapters
