After my latest fic chapter I feel compelled to remind people who have never read the SGE books that Clarissa Dovey (whose ideology and behavior I did not alter) is supposed to be a good guy. She is the benevolent, motherly mentor figure. We are supposed to like her very much.

In related news: The School for Good and Evil is the single largest case of authorial "oh shit I forgot all my world building when it came time to do the story framing" I have ever seen in all of media.

#house md #hatecrimes md #fanfiction #school for good and evil #clarissa dovey #clarissa dovey is terrible and i will die on this hill #This is based on the books #The movie seems to not have the homophobia part of the worldbuilding so this does not apply to movie Dovey #SGE is also my favorite failed retcon example #Judging by the framing the author clearly didn't realize the homophobic implications of the writing when he wrote it #So in the companion book (book 3.5) he tried to fix it #But he did that by saying that Agatha (whose arrival is around 12 years after my fic setting) got Dovey to change the policy #And now people of the same gender can go to the Ball together #It's an extremely throwaway line whereas Agatha's other virtues are highlighted #So we're not supposed to look at this issue to hard--ergo retcon not “thing Agatha was always supposed to have done”#But it doesn't work as a retcon because IT CONFIRMS THAT THE SLAUGHTER OF GAY STUDENTS DEFINITELY HAPPENED #So the author does not exonerate Dovey at all #Though of course after confirming she killed the gay students who couldn't fit in the closet he still tried to make us like her in book 4 #Because no one does scattershot story construction like SC #SGE is my love to hate book series I will not apologize

people trying to insist a fandom is tiny when it /only/ has a few thousand works on ao3 meanwhile my current fandom is a sixteen book series and has several hundred fewer works than goncharov, a movie that, and i cannot stress this enough, doesn’t even exist

#measuring the size of fandoms based on their goncharov index #this has been a useless text post you may now resume your normal programming #rote has a goncharov index of 0.63 #for perspective ofmd has an index of 26.5 #spn's is 360.8 #the cosmere is 2.26 for a fantasy book comparison #i am very normal #post

ok so i think that my favourite fantasy subgenre is The Inherent Tragedy Of Being Born Into Royalty. which mostly means that i like to read about gay princes but with some nuance

#ethically i am opposed to monarchies and empires. i think being born into a royal bloodline is inherently traumatising #which makes for the juiciest tastiest drama in stories obviously #either you become a bad ruler and people will suffer at your feet. or you become a good ruler and you no longer belong to yourself #how much will you sacrifice at the altar of your ideals?#It Compels Me. Narratively #also books like the goblin emperor have a big autism appeal in like. the court had a lot of nonsensical rules and you have to mask so much #apparently i am such a parody of myself that whenever im like. i have a drawing of my current blorbo #my friend immediately assumes it's a prince based on their vibes #IT'S NOT ALWAYS A PRINCE... SOMETIMES IT'S THE EMPEROR'S SECRETARY.... OR A DEMON WHO'S A KNIGHT.............. I CAN BE DIVERSE #anyway im currently reading the hands of the emperor AND a prince4prince web novel. that's the vibes rn

just a lot of the axolotl :] and that bitchass triangle

#edit: this isn’t billford👍 i was honestly moreso expecting people to think this was axobill. it’s not that either but still #the art gallery #gravity falls #the book of bill #also design for the orb of healing light :] yea it’s based on an ophanim. I am not thr first person to have this idea but I tried to ma #tried to make it original #the visual of Literally An Angel wearing a lanyard was just really funny to me

can't believe that skeleman has turned on us, and Halloween Prom is tomorrow.

(what a top-tier UM...we are about to be just totally obliterated in the absolute silliest way. what possible use could this power have outside of bringing us to the brink of utter holiday disaster.)
