Maybe Jane Austen's real genius was that, unlike other authors at the time, she didn't have long sections where characters share their backstory. Or rather, when she did it, she set it up like a mystery so we'd want to know the backstory.

Instead of having a character be like, "Here's three chapters about my life," soon after showing up in the novel, she'd sprinkle little clues through the story that make us wonder, "What's Colonel Brandon's deal?" and then closer to the end of the story, Colonel Brandon would tell us what his deal was. We'd wonder "Why does Mr. Darcy do all those horrible things?" and then he'd give an explanation that includes a lot of backstory.

And these infodumps always come in response to significant moments of the story. She'd engage our minds and our emotions and then give us the infodump at a point when we care about the information it contains. Compared to some other authors (even some that came long after) it seems like a significant innovation.

Sometimes I think I'm not that bad at reading people then I remember how throughout the whole of 6th form I kept trying to get my two closest friends to hang out as a group not realising one friend had a huge crush on the other while the second hated the first friend to the point they started spreading lies about them

Unpopular opinion, but I kind of wish Disney would focus a little more on other characters from the classic Disney universe (Mouseverse, Duckverse, Dogverse) and not just the Sensational Six characters (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto and Goofy) plus Chip and Dale and Pete. By this I mean Scrooge, Horace, Clarabelle, Oswald, Huey, Dewey and Louie, Gyro, Ludwig, Grandma Duck, Fethry, Gus, Gladstone, Ortensia, Mad Doctor, Beagle Boys, Magica, Glomgold, Rockerduck, Sylvester Shyster, Phantom Blot, Darkwing Duck, Jose Carioca, Panchito Pistoles, Aracuan Bird, April, May and June, Gosalyn, Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse, Chief O'Hara, Detective Casey, Scuttle, Mortimer, Figaro the Cat, Max Goof, Neighbor Jones, Brigitta MacBridge and others characters.

By this I mean with regards to the latest Disney animation shows "A Whole New Sound", Hot Ones and these What If Marvel comics. Like you can't make superheroes and super villains out of these characters I mentioned?! Scrooge as Professor X, Glomgold as Magneto or Magica as Red Widow? It seems to me that Disney (I mean the American official one, not the European one for sure) ignores these characters and thinks they don't exist. Really disappointing in my opinion.

Feel free to reblog this and comment if you agree or disagree with this.

If I could write stories as quickly and vividly as I can envision them, I would have written at least three lovely novellas in the last week. Two of them this morning.

In my opinion, the fandom demands too much from Tattoo compared to the rest of the characters.

He didn't want to help Jack or the debtors in the first place, his priorities were his mother, his best friend and himself, which is fair. Of course, it wasn't right for him to try to involve an innocent person in this mess, but I think it's important to highlight he was not acting out of malice but out of desperation. He didn't know Joke prior to their "ring heist", not on a personal level, and currently he doesn't know much about him either while Joke knows all about his life situation.

Tattoo stole something he shouldn't have from the rich in order to escape the nightmare he's been living in because of them (the threats, the beating, the never-ending pressure), he put Joke in the spotlight but he couldn't avoid getting caught. Now, the same people that have been disturbing him nonstop want his help returning the necklace he stole to get rid of them, they convince him through another beating that includes Hoy and, potentially, his mother. Who wouldn't want to escape? Why feel like he owes them something? By making these types of decisions he may end up in greater danger than at the start, but he is not able to think of another solution and does not want to suffer anymore. Joke understands this, that's why he forgives him over and over again, he is familiar with the feeling of being trapped no matter what you do.

I get Hoy's point of view, I also value qualities such as honesty and loyalty, and I'm not trying to defend everything Tattoo has ever done and will do, but I think there's little discussion about his motivations although the series focuses on disadvantaged environments and the consequences of living in poverty.

I rarely see characters like Aran or Hope being held accountable even though their actions / intentions / motivations are immoral or, at least, questionable. People seem to like them because they are handsome and violent and confident, but they have not yet shown redeemable qualities.

"Arya wouldn't have been able to survive in KL" is really one of the dumbest fanon takes where you can tell someone only believes it because they like the idea of Arya and Sansa being "exact opposites and perfect complements" (even though it goes against the books). Actual evidence from the books to back it up? Never anywhere to be found despite how confidently people make this claim.

And not only does it severely mischaracterize Arya and ignore what she's been through, it also ignores her importance as a political hostage. The Lannisters weren't searching for her, and lying about having her, for no reason. They needed her because having only one Stark after executing Ned put them in a poor position to negotiate. So Arya would have been more than capable of handling herself (thoroughly shown in her Harrenhal chapters) and the Lannisters would've done everything in their power to keep her alive but, somehow, she wouldn't have been able to survive? It's truly one of those takes that falls apart if you think about it for more than two seconds but apparently, that's too much effort for some people.
