#and i'm crying in all aspects

No one:

Me after watching the two eps of the TGAMM finale:

god. god. the significance of the diary pages about claudia’s assault being torn out raggedly by Louis, clearly in a fit of guilt and anguish and trauma, vs the diary pages about louis mourning lestat and regretting killing him being removed with surgical control and precision. by armand. this wasn’t a heat of the moment action it was deliberate and calculated and I can’t stop thinking about it

Theoretically, I knew organising funerals was a big, complicated thing. As reality is, I would very much like to run away screaming into a dark forest.

Edit: i'm a bit tipsy and the tags are full of typos. Don't pay attention.

hot take but people should be allowed to object to poor writing and express frustration at their favorite show's disingenuous choices for characterizations!! let them express their opinions as long as they're giving valid criticism, considering how fandoms can become toxic when they fail to allow for different opinions and coherent discussions.

i...finally finished reading. i...actually caught up. i also documented any thoughts and reactions i had per chapter to see trends and connections i might've missed at first read, so that'll be useful to look back on i think.

i very much keep myself in my own little bubble on the internet because i am aromantic and also a hater and so fandom spaces are generally pretty hellish for me. however in the witcher fandom specifically i am forever surprised to see the complete lack of engagement with the actual themes of the text. like,,, i am certain that there are people out there having great conversations about it but the fact that the only widely accessible discourse (in the epistemological sense of the word not internet arguments) around the story is surface level character discussions when there is SO much to talk about there in OBVIOUS ways. obvi there are deeper character conversations to be had (so little about geralt's like. deep grief at his perceived inability to be human. i'll forgive it cause it is much more prevalent in the books but it's still a shame...) but there are SO many larger-scale things to talk about. the witcher as a story about colonialism i feel like i never see mentioned and considering the sheer integral nature of that discourse in the text it seems really improbable that nobody wants to talk about it? from the very beginning the story is telling you very openly about the way that humanity assumes itself to be the rightful occupant of the land when it is in fact an occupying force, and it's discussing what makes for a rightful use of violence in pushing back against that colonizing force, and what is necessary for survival under colonialism, like... i've still only read a few of the books but even JUST in the edge of the world story, without considering the scoia'tael and the larger dynamics of the fantasy racism and systemic discrimination in the world of the witcher, it is a VERY clear story about the aftereffects of genocide and the question of integration into the occupying force. like you CAN'T ignore that or write it out of the story for the netflix show cause that's what the larger story is About. and beyond engaging with the direct themes of the text i feel like i'm missing so many critical discussions. so much to talk about with the men-writing-women of it all, the way that yennefer is treated by the original author and then the way that in trying to work around that characterization she sort of just gets girlbossified in the other direction by the netflix writers, the way that yennefer is either beloved without criticism or hated without critical thought by the fandom. idk. again i say nothing with absolute certainty because i do take pains to talk about this in my own little corner and not seek much out about it but man. all this fanfic and we're not gonna talk about Any of that? not even geralt of rivia's central motivation of being a guy who wants to do the right thing?

I'm at the library and there is a guy next to me who is looking weirdly at me because I'm reading Pep Guardiola: The Evolution and I keep switching from moment when I'm smiling like an idiot to moment when I have tears in mine eyes.

how would you rank the ninja from worst to best based on the ninjago seasons youve seen?

Nya and Wu are the best, everyone else is the same to me

2005-2008ish!me who wrote endless copious emotional essays on her lj about sweeney being a love story, about every thread of sweeney being about love and its loss and its corruption and how society tries to own and consume it and how that love that once held rescue becomes ruinous and how all its tragedy is in that ravenous need and grief is so validated by this article.

I've been trying to get this fucking degree for 7 years, suffering basically nonstop, taking part in all my classes, even taking extra ones, I think at this point I more than deserve them just giving me my bachelor's. I've done ENOUGH.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

also was revisiting a little bmc bway interview ft. william last night & him saying his favorite part of the show was probably doing the agtikbi reprise scene on the couch at the party & mentioning the Nonverbal aspect of jeremy & christine's interacting / communicating there & a way of exploring/depicting Love & Affection in a way you don't always see everywhere and like aaaarghhhhh so true good lord that specific scene. and Again the bway obcr version Existing and being like that, it's just like. winded exhale yeah obsessed 5ever thank you all

RILEYYYYYYYYYY RILEY IS SO GOOD!

Also I found one of your tags and I can confirm that he is definitely Not British voice-wise! (Episode 110 of the DP anime dub/sub if you're looking for it)

Love your work ❤️❤️❤️

yeah!!!! thank you!!!!! he's amazing!!!!!!!!!! the life changing gender awakening character to me as a kid

I actually have the anime episodes downloaded (both subbed and dubbed by totally legal means ahah) and yeah he's not pompous brit sounding bgdhfvh, I'm moreso wondering if they'll pick someone different voice wise for him in masters :0c

as of now they haven't revealed how he sounds in the gacha yet but i'm crossing my fingers he has someone like. along the lines of greg chun or similar in terms of deep but soft spoken voice
