Honestly, there are days in which I would like to enjoy HotD and GoT in peace, but then some idiots gain incredible popularity and remind me of how much I’m done with THE FANDOM.
And yes, I’m talking about this meme.
For the context: in HotD S2E2, Ewan Mitchell (Prince Aemond Targaryen) has a naked scene. Not much is revealed in it, but apparently some idiots out there decided that bodyshaming the actor is just so-so funny 💀
I’m not even talking about the fact that actors (usually male actors, but not only) have to either loose weight or dehydrate themselves for nude or semi-nude scenes in order to expose their muscles (Henry Cavill also dehydrated himself for the bathtub scene in the Witcher season 1, from what I remember).
Like, people, how old are you even? Can’t you even understand the difference between disliking/being critical of a particular character and hating on the actor playing the role? And even openly bodyshaming them?
I’m seeing similar tendencies in the way a large chunk of the fandom treats Olivia Cooke (Queen Alicent Hightower) and Fabien Frankel (ser Criston Cole). Olivia is being harassed with blatantly misogynistic texts. Fabien had to limit his Instagram comments under some of his posts because of how much hate he has received.
Have you guys forgotten how people harassed Lena Headey just because she played Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones? How someone even publically called Lena a “b*tch” during an actual fan meeting?
Or how Jack Gleeson, despite his obvious talent and great job prospects after GoT, resigned from acting for several years, specifically after he received waves of hate for playing Jeoffrey Baratheon?
Like, people, allow actors and actresses to do their f*cking jobs without being harassed.
Lena, Jack, Ewan, Olivia, Fabien and many other actors out there are not criminals by earning money through their jobs. There are far worse people in the film industry who don't receive even half of the hate that actors and actresses who play disliked characters do.
It should be obvious, I’m so ashamed that I have to explain this to an audience composed of mostly adult people.
Posting for the Tumblr TSAMS fanbase since I dont got Discord.
This year for the October Takeover, instead of the villians ruining everything, I vote that the family just accepts that now there HAS to be a takeover every October, so they give us
The Solar and Jack-O-Moon Show
We have the two voices, they can play off each other, and HEY they're even Halloween themed!
We can even have some dumbass reason for Sun and Moon to be gone like the new FazEnt president revoked their recording privileges and they hafta deal with that or something.
PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN IM POSTING IT EARLY SO MAYBE IT WILL MANIFEST
i am about to leave for orientation (!) but i HAVE to yell about how much i loved the first ep of jack and joker, it's so refreshing to get most of the backstory right at the start, before the main story. it feels like we really got a proper setup for the enemies-to-lovers dynamic. also YINWAR CHEMISTRY UNDEFEATED I'M SO UNWELL
day 2 of convincing you to watch damsels in dicestress' show demons & daughters by sharing random moments of the two most heartbreakingly pining sapphic regency era teenage girls
(they're on a terrifying journey to find their missing fathers and fight demons, it just so happens some of those demons are patriarchy and their tragic dramatic former-childhood-best-friends past)
you need no prior knowledge of dnd, just a healthy dose of gay yearning or queer insanity
all 3 of them did “their best” that just looks different depending on the individual and the role(s) they were taught to play
AND all 3 of them contributed to raising jack poorly. sam and cas were the 2 more engaged/active parents and they both made terrible mistakes and they both had unique strengths that the other didn’t share (and that dean obviously didn’t)
I’m thinking I need to break this down in depth sometime if not write fic abt it bc respectfully . a lot of you guys don’t know what you’re talking about.
Took my sister to see DWD yesterday and she fucking loved it! When the twist happened she kept turning to me and saying "fucking brilliant"! She thought Florence was amazing and the cinematography, she thought Harry was okay in it! Not stellar but okay! And she thought that some parts needed more development to show more of the reason of why everything happened! Overall, as someone who had seen NOTHING from spoilers or controversies etc (only super vague stuff), she didn't see any of the twists happening! And she enjoyed herself a lot! And we were having such interesting conversation! It was also her first movie post pandemic!!!!!!!!!
