#like……. did we read the same book

[vaguelyprophetic]

did not like how the new great gatsby musical took the scene where nick canonically fucks a man and turned it into a scene where a queer man is acting incredibly predatory and creepy towards nick. didn’t like it at all!

once more around the sun!! :3

the percy jackson racial discourse will never not be insane to me because rick has said several times that he was pressured to make pjo a very white and heteronormative series but as soon as he had power he made every other book as diverse and queer as he wanted.

how were you guys surprised that when given the opportunity, he diversified his story the way he had originally wanted to???

Disgustingly messy and crusty sketch dump but I couldn't get my own terrible theory out of my head and ended up making a bunch of sketches about it. Also at the end a bonus dickbats and Damian doodle bc I was reading an issue of their Batman and Robin run (IDs in Alt)

saw someone say that Tam didn’t crawl to Feyre when she was deleted by Amarantha and how that was how they knew that he didn’t actually love her and i just have to say

“But Rhysand didnt come any closer to my corpse, not as rushing paws— then a flash of light, then footsteps — filled the air.”

“Amarantha’s blood had vanished from Tamlin’s face, his tunic as he slammed to his knees. He scooped up my limp broken body, cradling me to his chest…i heard the shuddering sobs that broke from him as he rocked me, stroking my hair.” -ch 45

yeah, you’re right, he ran straight to her immediately and without hesitation after killing Feyre’s murderer in a blind rage. AND THEN SOBBED WHILE CRADLING HER!!!!! but go off i guess

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

If I have to hear "Sam was the real hero" another damned time I might just summon the spirit of Samwise Gamgee himself so that he could smack you in the face with a frying pan

what i love is that when people reread aftg, there's literally tons of proof that exists online of the fact that there is always something left to learn about the books. always something about either about the storyline or the characters themselves when you take a moment to actually consider what the message is saying (this isn't even to mention the extra content) and that there is always something to be revealed in the fine print. and that, to me, is the crux of good storytelling. when there's always something new to be discovered no matter how many times you read a book. when so much nuance has been added to the story's existence that it's almost impossible to understand and comprehend upon the first read, it has to take several to fully be absorbed. when so much attention and care like this is put into a story that little details eventually become big ones with enough examination and that is why i'll never understand that when talking about the series overall critics will just focus on obviously problematic things like the mental health representation of certain characters, brushing all of this extra consideration aside to say it's "bad writing".

bsd fic authors i understand yalls pain SO well right now why is it so fucking HARD to write dazai. like i have a whole fucking spreadsheet dedicated to tireless analysis i have done on my part so i can accurately characterize him but he is such an unpredictable and morally gray character that it's hard knowing his limits and boundaries and where he draws the line for himself.

[perfecteggpartyland]

Your opinion but aftg is not really bad written characters are absolutely realistic human being with flaws and trauma a lot of people can relate too; the story is so chaotic it's absolutely crazy in a good way; not to mention aftg is written in a really realistic way again and we're into Neil's mind and see his pov; it's straight to the point; you have genius lines such as is your learning curve a horizontal line and absolute Shakespeare level masterpiece such as doesn't mean I wouldn't blow you like ? Hello? For me it's not badly written it's simple straight to point engaging ;stakes and not to mention hilarious and DEFINITION of the word ✨Chaos✨;the characters are once again realistically portrayed for me;I will die on that hill and you'll have to take that away from my cold dead hands . Like 18 year old traumatized Neil is literally trying to survive there's a made up sport what do you expect? But seriously It has one of the healthiest romantic relationship not to mention demi represetion ever; characters have flaws; are human and their found family dynamic is amazing; not to mention the whole underline about consent and that it's not about winning; it's about getting one chance then people wanted to give you and thought you deserved; how to fight cause you don't know how to die quietly ;, and so much more.

“Social media has made this generation so narcissistic and self centered everyone’s always posting selfies and posting about everything they do during the day” shut up. The human desire to show you exist and you were here is innate and we’ve been doing it since the days we were leaving hand prints on cave walls

[fatherdmitri]

I hate the Lapvona tag on tumblr cause like why is it all coquette girls where on Earth is the sexy fanart of Father Barnabas

[ganondoodle]

kind of expected that the ability breakdown wouldnt get that much traction (especially on twitter bc if it doesnt do well in the first few hours it might as well be dead) but what i didnt need to wake up to was looking at my twitter notifications and thinking there was a long comment on it at first but then i read it and it turned out to be some guy having dug up one of my old totk tweets where i talked about how zelda was treated-

and if a quote retweet with a thread attached already starts with "this entitled brat didnt understand that zelda was being a history nerd by being in the past and getting to experience it herself" with two screenshots attached of the end of totk with zelda staring at the cam all uwu (which has ??? to do with their point??) i dont even want to know what else was in that thread

if thats how the majority of the fandom is then im even less surprised that nintendy doesnt even have to try to write anything good :I

ah yes, i am a game nerd, and by putting me in a game where i stand around doing puppy dog eyes while being shoved around by NPCs is me being a game nerd OBVIOSULY

[shadowqueenjude]

ACOTAR fandom logic be like-

Nesta: *runs after her sister to Prythian as a mere human, saves her mate (x2), offers herself up as bait to help destroy Hybern, kills King of Hybern, kills Briallyn, kills an Asteri, saves her sister, her husband, and her child, saves a whole other fucking world*

Them: Ew Nesta is so bitchy and selfish!

Rhysand: *sexually assaults Feyre and twists her already broken arm to “protect” her, hides the malignant nature of her pregnancy to her then threatens her sister for telling her about it*

Them: Omg Rhysand is so selfless, what a king!

[princessefemmelesbian]

Transandrophobia truthers are so damn racist and white oh my fucking god y'all actually piss me the fuck off every time you tokenize Black and brown men for your stupid as fuck "mra but make it trans-inclusive" ideology created by a creepy guy with a corrective rape fetish(something I'll never let up on for as long as I live, btw). If I ever see another one of y'all say "Black and brown men face discrimination because they're seen as overly masculine and that's why masculinity in men is oppressed in this society" I will literally kill myself. Stop using Black and brown men as brownie points for your bullshit arguments about misandry being real when you don't have the slightest idea how racialized oppression works. White boys are so annoying and dumb istfg.
