picture of dorian gray but dorian and basil are brothers and it's modern.

phantom of the opera but it's a ya version with franchise potential.

wuthering heights but it's margot robbie and jacob elordi.

my dislike for wanda besides the obvious, is just I find mind control powers creepy. I just don't like them. I won't mind them in fiction if a character aware of that and tires not to hurt people with those powers or they just and out right villian and doesn't care( I love a cool villian) Wanda's problem is she does all these bad things and still see herself as the hero the victim. Yes bad things happen to you. And yes sometimes you were a victim at times. But that doesn't change the fact that you turned into a villain. And I would get her not seeing herself as a villian or bad if she had mental health issues. But from the very beginning wanda knew what she was doing. She doesn't have any mental health issues that can see. Mostly she just seems angry, traumatized and depressed. And the final reason besides having bias and being a Tony fan, is I just don't like her or the actress.

very big fan of when shows put wigs on actors and say ‘yeah. That’s him when he was younger fuck you’. No anti aging ai, no teen actor hired. Just. The same guy with a fuckass wig

I just looove, that that apple peel couldn't possibly produce any other letter other than "C" anyway😂😂😂

The fact that Charmed opening credits version of the song is NEVER on any platforms and cannot be found for any money is my villain origin story

I mean, considering that Poirot is a Belgian refugee who fled from the attack of the Germans, for a Modern AU (as in set in about now) Poirot should be like.

A Syrian refugee or something.

Hastings can be his tall English self or whatever, but yeah, Syrian refugee Poirot.

I love this.

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

Ten Inch Hero (2007)-Jensen & Danneel Ackles

these books really aren't as deep as some people think they are lol. sjm includes a lot of foreshadowing but it's like...pretty obvious stuff? she isn't writing some grandiose mystery series. it's fantasy smut lmfao.

elain with spy language and imagery = elain is probably going to have some sort of spy arc

l/ucien having a spell cleaving father and being heavily connected to vassa = bro is probably gonna break the spell vassa is kept under using the powers sjm not-so-subtly hinted at during MaF

feyre discussing bad mating bonds while looking at elain and azriel in the garden and questioning why they aren't mates = elain and azriel are probably ending up together after the EL bond is either broken or revealed to be incorrect

azriel questioning the cauldron and then discovering that it's corrupt = the cauldron is wrong

like you really can just read these books and take them at face value for the most part. there isn't some secret plot about GA hiding in the background. it really just takes a base reading comprehension to understand where these books are heading. it just never ceases to amaze me how people will take like 1 random line from somewhere and create a whole new plot out of it where g/wyn saves the whole multiverse or w/e. and then swear it's canon. weirdest fandom i've ever been a part of, and i'm into anime so that says a lot.

‘Mor whirled on Azriel. “Why didn’t you say anything?”Azriel held her gaze unflinchingly. Didn’t so much as rustle his wings. “Because you would have tried to stop it. And we can’t afford to lose Keir’s alliance—and face the threat of Eris.”’ - ACOWAR

azriel chooses politics and strategy over mor’s feeling when supposedly he is still in love with her. this occurs three times in acowar.

contrast that with…

‘Rhys growled, "Allow me to make one thing very clear. You are to stay away from her."

"You can't order me to do that."

... Azriel snarled softly.’ - ACOSF BC

yet for elain...azriel without hesitation challenges the orders of his high lord. it seems quite clear where az’s romantic affections lie.

Amren was right. They hate Elain because they ain’t Elain.

I think it's funny that when you point to antis that Gwyn is a side character they like to pull out Yrene and how she got a whole book (though it's Chaol's book when it suits them.)

And then in the same breath say Vassa can't have a POV or book cause she's a side character or not important enough.

Vassa? Connected directly to the main plot and big bad Vassa can't have a pov or book but Nesta's gym buddy can? Huh?

[thereisnolumos]

I’m thinking of Elain and Az seeing this…😭🥺🌸🦇

Harringrove “study date” but Steve genuinely thought they were just going to study (and was pretty disappointed) and Billy spends all evening trying to make a move which Steve completely doesn’t pick up on.

Robin ends up shoving them both into a closet the next month at a party because “oh my god stop fucking moping, he likes you dingus”

The next “study date” is much more successful

Why you should write healthy marriages:

1. They aren’t done enough.

2. They help other people understand what a healthy relationship looks like.

3. Fights can last for weeks and still be part of a healthy marriage.

4. Stereotypes. Break all the marriage stereotypes.

5. Soft cute couple moments DON’T stop after marriage.

6. Marriage is completely independent of character arcs. Those two individuals with trauma will still be two individuals with trauma but with gold rings.

7. A healthy marriage is one where people understand that their partners have baggage/trauma/flaws, but love them even in rough patches. 

8. It isn’t that healthy marriages aren’t compelling, it’s that people don’t know how to write marriages correctly. 

9. Marriages being an end goal often perpetuates that women are trophies to be won.

10. Marriages being an end goal often perpetuates that someone’s “freedom” ends there. Bury this trope, please, I beg of you.

“Elain should end up alone!”
