I think it's beautiful that the site that went bonkers was the lesBian site and not the gAy site.

Tolkien once a chapter: let me tell you a joke. Bombur is fat. That's the joke.

You, trying your best to enjoy The Hobbit:

Whenever everything is really fucked up you should start reciting the list. Just to cover all the bases:

Hazelnut, Mystify, Cuttlefish, Lark, Lurk, Robert, Anglican, Pheromone, Halter top, Marmalade, Hardware, Laser, Pepper, Release, Kneecap, Falafel, Period, Chaste, Chased, Leggings, Wool, Sweater, Heartbeat, Heartbeat, Heart, Beat, Heart, Beat, Beat, Beat, Beat, Beat.

Emma: but what about Harriet?

Knightley: who is Harriet even?

And the bi dads:

That's it. That was all I had to say, thank you.

I just would like to resister here that Thirty-Five Owls is way more canon than canon has any right to be.

My cat would not have allowed me to survive if I had put him under my top.

Thank you @inafieldofdaisies 🖤

Any interested fic writers out there?

Is it too much to ask for a sapphic Damsel retelling where when Elodie is thrown into the cave the first girl-princess-bride-sacrifice is still there?

Sherlock & Co makes me so happy!

Sure, John is the most awkward human being out there which is awesome and Mariana is the much needed female presence with screentime, but my favorite thing is Sherlock.

In other adapts Sherlock is mainly portrayed as a superhuman computer with faulty social performance (which is mostly played for laughs) and a drug addiction which is supposed to be his character flaw so he isn't called a Mary Sue.

On Sherlock & Co he is a neurodivergent person and deals with the challenges of that, he is not just a inhuman genius like they portray him way too often. It makes much easier to relate to him, to feel like he is a person out there, believable.

It's by far my favorite adaptation.

I'm curious, did anyone else had this preposterous idea that Agni Kais were to the first burn?

Oh, wait.

About how Zuko's abuse and trauma were handled on the live action:

Zuko is portrayed like such an immature pampered prince on the first episodes (mainly when he interacts with Iroh)

His scar is basically purple eyeshadow, and it does not, in size or shape, resembles a handprint.

13 year old terrified Zuko fights back? Against Ozai? Just. Fuck. You.

The 41st survives, so there's the subtext that the "sacrifice" he made was worth it.

Ozai is given screentime to say "you are banished because—" and it seems like what he is doing is supposed to make sense?

He wants to capture the Avatar to go back to the Fire Nation so he can be the heir to the Firelord? What happened to just wanting to go back home? To regain honor? which he perceives not having because of Ozai btw

In the end I just felt they were justifying and diminishing the whole thing.

Yue from the movie that doesn't exist is still my favorite Yue. I don't want to talk about Netflix Yue's hair, it makes me want to cry.

I believe the most glaring sign of public rejection of the atla live action is the fact that it doesn't have a ao3 tag yet.

You all taking about how bad the live action is, but let me tell you, the true worst thing about the live action is the same worst thing about the animated series: Toph doesn't show up till season two.
