instead of continuously over-donating to ao3 when those running the site are racist zionist sympathisers who shut down support of palestine from its volunteers 1 / 2 (among myriad other issues that u should NOT be funding) please direct your attention to these incomplete fundraisers for people in gaza and various tangible operations doing work. this is a call that if u have donated even a cent to ao3 to a) match that in your donations to palestinians/causes and b) stop donating so uncritically and unconditionally to ao3, pressure them. id like to direct u to @end-otw-racism

i think olivia is very smart but i also think she’s like a bratty toddler. she demands hugo’s constant attention and actively needs to be stimulated at all times or she starts destroying shit. like i think she’s so used to helping hugo with thieving jobs that once they move into the castle hugo has to constantly give her useless little tasks to do or she starts shredding up important documents or something

Watch varian while i’m gone. guard the cookie jar. go sit over there and make sure nobody touches that specific book. no the other books are fine it’s just that one particularly

oh yeah in that case definitely LMFAOAOAO but as mentioned hes probably suffered just as much getting knocked out twice with a cast iron pan and thrown against a wall like six times /j
if you treat the violence in cassandra’s revenge realistically you need to also treat the violence in every other episode realistically. you cannot selectively apply real world physics and real human fragility to cassandra launching varian across the room but suspend disbelief for every time somebody falls hundreds of feet and walks away without a scratch or every time rapunzel headshots somebody with an iron frying pan. you can’t say cass crushing eugene was worse than varian crushing arianna and cass. you can’t interpret one character’s violence through a different lens and with different rules than every other character’s. it’s illogical.
cassandra does awful things in cassandra’s revenge, yes. but the violence is not out of scale with anything else in the show; it’s not worse than the violence in secret of the sundrop, in which varian is equally as brutal (kidnapping—check; threatening someone rapunzel loves with murder to get her to do something—check; crushing people—check; trying to smash rapunzel—check. an automaton slams eugene into a wall so hard he leaves a eugene-shaped crater behind, is that somehow less violent than cass knocking varian across the room with the rocks?). it’s less brutal than rapunzel and the great tree, where cass is visibly battered by her fight with hector and also, yknow, graphically maimed on screen.
and like it’s fine to apply a more realistic lens to violence in rta in general for fanworks, but it’s… not fair to do that selectively in order to vilify one character while ignoring every time every other character does something that realistically could kill someone. (the same goes for characters drugging other characters; cass using the truth serum on varian isn’t worse than varian using the truth serum on… everyone who took a cookie. or vice versa. both were the same kind and severity of bad.)
like analysis is worthless if it isn’t consistent in how it engages with the text. be consistent.
tbf i Dont think the writers considered that like at all, what varian did is portrayed on the same level as what cass did so i see them on the same level regardless of what material was used LOL
