Tumblr you guys LOVE historical fiction. Why aren't you reading the count of monte Christo? I know you'll love it. It got doomed romance! Pathetic men! Tragedy! The slow and inexorable downward spiral of a man who once was good, lost everything, and now believe his righteous but violent revenge is the only thing he has left to live for! Canonical lesbians! You're gonna love it

A casual reminder: it's possible to enjoy both of these without comparing or arguing which one is better.

my favorite part of the fantastic four movie was when reed was writing equations on a chalkboard and the girl a row behind me whispered “that’s not real math”.

sorry i’m just thinking again about kaz brekker, perpetual cynic, and his surprisingly optimistic view of fathers and sons. just. kaz knowing that the one thing that would ruin pekka rollins, the man he hates more than anything, who he couldn’t think less of, would be to threaten the safety of his son. kaz telling jesper that his father cares more about him than any farm. kaz saying “call me sentimental, but i didn’t believe a father could be so callous.” kaz’s fatal misunderstanding of van eck being that he couldn’t conceive of a world in which fathers don’t love their sons. thinking about what all this says about kaz’s own father, and everything he lost before he and jordie ever stepped foot in ketterdam.

I cannot tell you how wonderful and bizarre it is to see people happily and unironically posting good things about Superman and it's MAINSTREAM. It's like I've been living in a desert for 20 years and then suddenly a waterfall has been dumped on me.

People get it now! It's about choosing to be good! It's about choosing to be kind! The power fantasy is not "man who is powerful." The fantasy is "man who is powerful is GOOD because he CHOOSES to be GOOD." And that is something that is powerful! And something that is DIFFICULT in a world that can so often be cruel. And no it's not "boring." Choosing to be good and kind in a cruel world? That's RADICAL.

Since the actors have been announced for the new HP series, a few reminders:

Your political, ethical, or lore-related issues with JKR are not an excuse to bully children on the internet.

The best way to show disapproval for this show is to not engage. Full stop.

If you see someone being cruel to these children, please tell them to knock it off.
