i don’t actually mind iterations of AB where she’s ‘mean’ (…again, whatever the fuck that means in the 16c); but i really do reject portrayals where she’s completely devoid of warmth. unfortunately for me, one of them has remained #1 prestige ‘blueprint’ tudor drama since 2012 😭
#I actually realized this too…#that it’s the source material#you can point to (few and far between ; but they do exist) moments of warmth in wolf hall and tobg#but ONLY in the screen adaptations#the source material of the books literally don’t have any#it’s the adapter tweaking so that the audience doesn’t *totally* hate her bcus that’s not really#constructive for the purposes of the narrative / storytelling ….#for them to be 100% alienated from her as a character and personality#so they tweak it to what. 98% . lol#primarily with her moments of tenderness with Elizabeth#and I mean I’ll take what I can get insofar as I think that very tiny aspect is an integral part of her#so infinitesimal props#but they don’t allow it in any other aspect#so the implication is that motherhood ‘humanized’ her and she was otherwise#not quite human. which. I shouldn’t have to say#has fairly gross implications about how these creators see women overall…

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names
#no shade (ha) to 50 shades. ive never actually read it so idk if its good#but imo the idea of creating an au fanfic thats so divorced from the original work is boring! why are you even making a fanfic atp#the only good fanfic is when you can tell the author loves the source material and uses it#the best fanfics ive ever read could never be published as actual books because it wouldnt work without the context of the original story

okay so post epic odyssey where odysseus and Penelope have surfaced from their room finally and he and diomedes are catching up I'm imagining the conversation going something like this
Odysseus: so then I gave up being merciful and became the monster.
Diomedes:....you tried being merciful?
Odysseus: Yes?
Diomedes: you did? You tried being a good merciful person? You?
Odysseus: Yah okay fuck off it was polties dying wish. I had to try.
Diomedes:.....90% of the war crimes in the Trojan war were suggested, planned out, and carried out by you. We literally stoned to death the guy you had a personal grudge against. We framed him for treason and stoned him to death. 70% of why Athena liked you was because she thought she knew all the ways to kill someone and then you'd suggest something insane and I'd see her taking notes. You literally gave Ajex a psyoctic break just being yourself.
Odysseus: shut up
Diomedes: I'm not wrong. Did you tell Penelope about your attempt to be a good person?
Odysseus: What? Of course I did. I told her everything.
Diomedes: did she laugh?
Odysseus:...shut up that's not the point
Diomedes: she did didn't she!!!
Odysseus: ANYWAY eurylochus wasn't appreciative of my return to monsterhood and he started causing problems so I
Diomedes: killed him? Yah saw that coming. No shit. I'm so shocked.
#the odyssey#epic the musical#My desire to combind different source materials at all times#Odysseus#Diomedes#Diomedes didn't fuck off to Italy au#Anyway I actually find it hilarious that odysseus for 2 or so years post troy was like what if I try to be a good person#And then was like actually no I was right to be the monster before#Odysseus's insane war crimes that he came up with during the Trojan war#Odysseus and diomedes being war crimes buddies

house md will always be remebered as the most insane thing ever broadcast because of how unabashedly feral everyone involved was.
a short collection of things that happen on the show, just off the top of my head, not even scratching the surface:
- house shoots a random dead body in the morgue and then sticks him in an mri machine, which pulls the bullet out of the dead guy’s head and destroys the machine, costing the hospital millions
- foreman gets bitten by a person with rabies
- chase kills an african dictator
- cameron steals drugs from a patient after possibly getting hiv from said patient
- house induces a migraine and then takes a drug made by his arch nemesis (who he’s been stalking for 25 years) to get the drug taken off the market. he then takes lsd (in the hospital, in the middle of a case) to cure the migraine.
- chase goes into anaphylaxis after doing body shots
- house stops an elevator so he can perform a cavity (vaginal) search on a teenage heart transplant patient who’s in cardiorespiratory arrest
- they give a neurosurgeon mushrooms to cure his food poisoning, then they stick him in an operating room. the neurosurgeon strips in front of a health board assessor.
- kutner dies for gay marriage
- house sets an autopsy room on fire while trying to juggle flaming bottles
- house gets recruited by the cia
- taub gets held at gun point after diagnosing a stripper with skin cancer
- in almost every single episode, the team breaks into multiple houses
- house fakes terminal brain cancer so he can get drugs implanted directly into the pleasure centre of his brain
- house cons us immigration to get his fake wife a green card. he also uses his fake wife’s ukrainian food truck to spy on people
- house tries to get wilson, his closet case boybestfriend, into bed every few episodes. every other sentence out of house’s mouth is about wanting to rail wilson.
- taub has a kid with his ex-wife, after they divorce, at the same time he has a kid with his 25 yo side piece. the kids’ names are sophie and sophia.
- house and wilson have a bet on who can hide a chicken in the hospital the longest without anyone finding out
- house tries to kill himself like 6 times and always fails (insulin shock, overdoses, electrocution, jumping off a building, cutting, etc)
- house fakes his death to get out of a prison sentence after violating his parole so he can live out his bi love story with his gay best friend who has 5 months to live

I’ve seen so many people joke about Glinda being exhausted having to cope with plucky little Dorothy Gale doing her little song while the entirety of act ii of Wicked is occurring in the background. Like the crushing weight of her complicity in an evil system is dragging her to hell and also her fiancé is now a scarecrow and has run off with her situationship. But the act ii context is actually exponentially crazier for Dorothy? Like imagine you are a fifteen year old whose admittedly unambitious dreams of just leaving the farm are already rendered impossible because you are staring down the double barrel of unprecedented rural poverty and climate crisis. You get caught out in a natural disaster and accidentally kill someone and end up straight in the middle of the craziest six-way divorce anyone has ever heard of that is currently actively melting down. No one tells you this. And they’re all taking it out on you. Free her!!!!!!
#wicked#Glinda just sent her to the wizard she knows does not do shit ON FOOT?#I liked that big dumb movie it was fun#the source material is literally insane

What I love most about the One Piece Live Action is how colorful and vibrant the world is. I'm sick of gritty and dark reboots where every shot is indecipherable, blurry, and pitch black. The OPLA creators knew what they were doing by bringing camp, fun, and adventure.
#i like how even Zoro is spotted in Hawaiian shirts and not all black all the time#all adaptations need to follow the same attention to detail and trust of the source material#one piece#one piece netflix#one piece live action#opla#op live action#netflix one piece

Funniest bit of the dnd movie is Xenk clearly being an NPC the DM introduced for lore and plot purposes who’s a competent fighter because of course he is, his reputation and backstory require it. But whoopsies the DM made him too powerful, the whole party likes him, and now they want him to come with to fight the BBEG which will completely and utterly fuck up the encounter balance
So instead of there being any actual plot reason he can’t join Xenk just says “I can’t. This is something only you can do.” And then walks off, never to interact with the party again because the DM just knows those little shits will find a way to use their OP creation against them
#but this movie was fun! clearly understood and had fun with its source material without being pure fan service#like don’t get me wrong there was fan service and jokes but I feel like even not knowing dnd you could enjoy it#I also really liked how you could tell what each spell was as it was cast even if they weren’t named! my wizard main self was so excited lol#xenk yendar#dungeons and dragons#honor among thieves#dungeons and dragons honor among thieves#dungeons and dragons movie#dnd#idk what we’re tagging this with gang so I went with all of it

Fanfiction is great because I'm a greedy slut that wants it all. Nothing you could ever give me in a TV show would achieve the high I get when I've got 13 au's all on the go at once with bonus fanart on the side, like the most luxurious multiple course meal with wine pairings curated just to my taste
#fans do it best thats all im saying#obvs we need the source material but theres nothing like thousands of people on the same bandwagon of imagination#fanfiction#ao3#text

#when we thought the atla MIGHT be ok after opla but it turns out opla is just an exception#HS9D8FUIPJLK#annie rambles#opla#one piece#avatar the last airbender#ive heard mixed reviews about the atla live action but the consensus feels like the writers werent in tune with the source enough#where opla it really feels like the writers understand op at its core so thus were able to transform it#but maybe thats just me#80U9DSFPOJKL#i have so many thoughts on how much i liked opla i should make a separate post but like. for one not disrespecting source by#saying that the new take is ''more for adults" or whatever / all that nonsense#and again just respecting source material feels like a major difference here
