alex hirsch truly is like. the guy ever. he created one of if not the most renowned and successful disney tva shows. he clowns on said network. he won his high school’s bird calling contest. he hates trump and is always advocating for people to vote. also prank calls republican/maga hotlines and was on the washington post for such. he voices half the cast of his own show and does a deranged mickey mouse voice he uses for like two separate shows. he owns a giant taxidermy buffalo. he and his sister were on an international improv team in high school. disney censored practically all queer themes in his show and now he has a nyt best seller (and created the website plus recent interviews ect ect) that imply there was something going on between that fuck ass triangle and ford. a straight man creating good old man yaoi. creates the craziest rabbit holes to send the fandom down probably primarily fueled by adhd and coffee. he probably has his flannel sewn to his body atp and has thousands of sticky hands on the wall in his house. i could go on but he’s just truly such a interesting guy

I have now read All Systems Red from The Murderbot Diaries, and I think the main charm of it is I went in fully expecting a "Humans treat robots like appliances then some of them slowly learn not to because of This One Special Example" but instead the crew immediately goes "No, Murderbot is a person. Look at it, it's got anxiety."

Meanwhile, Murderbot itself is like "Why was I cursed with a face. Please treat me like an appliance so I don't have to make eye contact with any of you. I've got anxiety."

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

This is the weird peer mentoring group I told you all about. They’re called Perfect 10 Liners.

I think I just discovered a repressed fictional crush and I’m not sure how I should feel about it.

The strangest Tolkien fandom history rewrite I've seen lately from people who make hating the show their entire personality is this shift in pretending that The Hobbit films were just as lauded as the original trilogy.

[wishesofeternity]

I find it so very convenient that Nettles’ appalling erasure in HOTD S2 means that the showrunners probably won’t have to confront the fact that Rhaenyra – who they have textually glorified as divinely ordained to rule and the 'rightful' heir to the throne – was canonically a racist, entitled piece of shit who tried to sabotage and murder her own ally purely out of spite and jealousy.

I ❤️ thinking about joffreymargaery failmarriage but it’s almost always w the show version *crowd boos* bc it’s more fun to imagine adults in a toxic relationship like book version is just

[deimosatellite]

nothing funnier in the terror(book) than That Entire Chapter with irving . you know the one. being followed immediately by hickey pov chapter where the first line of it is "hickey decided that irving needed to die." like. girl you read my mind

I will give you a book rec:

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/blood-pink-caroline-holtz/1147317347?ean=2940184374475

It's got gay superheroes. toxic yuri. the worst driver in the world (straight guy named kyle).

Note: I think it's only available online for now. If it sells, maybe they'll stock it in stores.

if the world has to inflict the harry potter tv show on us we should also get a tv show of the charlie bone books as compensation

Have hit a point where I'm torn between 'everybody is entitled to their feelings' and 'people are just straight-up making shit up about WoT S3 in order to justify their specific feelings'

[moghedien]

Did I hear right that Moiraine said that she once said to Egwene years ago to be wary of her dreams? I didn't think the show had been over such a big stretch of time already, I thought maybe a year tops, we know there was a month between the end of s2 and start of s3 and I guess I can't remember how long they suggest was between s1 and s2

I think it sort of has to be a longer span of time to account for just the normal aging of actors while it takes so long to film. Mat's sisters are suddenly much older, for instance, and old enough to be randomly channeling.
