“But we don’t need a reboot of Narnia because the last movies were so good—” I am eating you. I am tearing you apart with my bare hands. IT’S NOT A REBOOT OF THE NARNIA FILMS, IT’S AN ADAPTATION OF THE BOOKS. 3/7 BOOKS HAVE NEVER BEEN ADAPTED TO SCREEN. THE SILVER CHAIR HASN’T BEEN ADAPTED SINCE THE BBC MINISERIES. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE PAST FILMS. IT IS ABOUT TELLING A COMPLETE STORY.

But by this logic we don’t need, say, season 2 of [insert beloved yet cancelled television show here] because the first season was ~✨so good✨~

I just finished chapter 12 of the the Iliad and Athena is so fond of Odysseus.

He's freaking out on the beach because he doesn't know he's on Ithaca, and she comes up disguised as a shepherd boy and is like "this is Ithaca, dude", and Odysseus immediately swallows down every single emotion and spins a whole story about being an exile from Crete because he killed the king's son, and Athena just laughs at him and says "There aren't many who can keep up with trickery, but I'm also well practised in intrigue" or something along those lines

And then she removes her disguise and says "you didn't recognise me, though!" and it has like the clear undertones of, 'haha, I win this round!'

and then she assures him that he is on ithaca, and points out landmarks to prove it, and they hide all his treasure, sit down and plot about how to murder all the suitors, before she disguises him as an old man and flies off to grab Telemachus from Sparta

It's the best. I love them both.

I like how whenever I make a post abt criticising the LU fandom / a sect of the LU fandom someone of y'all are SO ready to derail and dilute the issue into either "Jojo bad" or "Oh I don't like this fandom because [entirely separate unrelated issue]". When it's something as serious as queerphobia I wish you idiots wouldn't

She heard me doing things so she came up to the side of her baby bin and blelelelele'd at me until I noticed her. She greets me every morning where we spend the first hour of every day together, her just resting in my hand and me holding her, often gently petting her head and tiny scales. If there is a heaven, that first hour we spend together is it.

She is getting a larger enclosure for her birthday in a month and a half. :D Hopefully I can get it done in time, as I haven't sculpted a custom enclosure before and will be trying some new artistic critiques. I do have experience sculpting though. My biggest worry is the paints and sealing them properly! Art I can do- but food safe art that will be in a moist bioactive enclosure is new for me.

Hey saw your post about blake lively and justin baldini and just wanted to let you know that the lawsuit also mentions how blake and the rest of the cast was following sony’s marketing plan for the film (they were instructed not to mention heavy domestic violence themes and to focus on lighthearted stuff and it being a story of hope and resilience/strength) while justin pivoted and started talking about survivors and acting like he was taking the story more seriously to portray himself as a feminist and ally. It was also his effort to “explain” why he was alienated from the rest of the cast (like he was taking the themes seriously while they were “not”) in order to bury his misconduct. The lawsuit is a long but informative read

Yes I read the full suit too, but my critiques of Lively were also about the fact she tried to use a movie about DV to promote her personal alcohol brand when alcohol is heavily associated with increasing incidents of DV, even going so far as naming an alcoholic beverage after the abuser in the movie. while I do appreciate that she was running with the studio's plan when it came to the promotion of the film, how she markets her personal alcohol and lifestyle brands are her choice. I will reiterate that I don't think any of that should detract from acknowledging that she was harassed and I do believe she was targeted and harassed. Not every critique of Lively and her brand, especially the critiques from DV survivors, are invalidated by the suit, nor do these critiques nullify the fact she was targeted.

There's nothing wrong with people having their dearest most specialest blorbo be Eric ztd it is unironically good for the ecosystem and I always love seeing the different perspectives from other fans but what I am here today to ask is why is no one like that about Mira. whatever happened to feminism.

I feel like the Grammy’s should have a breakthrough artist category to separate from the artists that have been around for a bit and broke through and the artists that are actually new to the industry.

Since I'm not posting about what I'm working on (I will not give into feeling like I'm working by solely talking about it. Also if I post about it and then never finish it that would be beyond cringe. Also it sucks right now) instead I'm posting various procrastination OC doodles from over the past year. Admire my funny little guys ^^^
