#but i am VERY against this show

[bikananjarrus]

fyi i am going to become the most obnoxious little hater when the ahsoka show comes out

[boxheadpaint]

U don’t need to look hard to see i was obsessed with and greatly influenced by the wondla series and diterlizzi’s style. Seeing the fantastical and unique world of it reduced to Disney face marketable no-risk Nothing Shit is heartbreaking. Why do they have lips

At last, London's fashionable set has made its return. And it seems that our bon ton is moving with the changing tide. So, too, is this author.

Wild to see self proclaimed feminists start pulling the ‘we don’t have enough information’ card when it’s someone they like.

Also fun to see the ‘he’s a pillar of the community’ defence used in current year.

And the ‘this is a lie designed to undermine his political influence for x cause’ canard trotted out.

(Because, as we all know, no politically active man has ever sexually assaulted someone.)

The fact is, your refusal to outright condemn Gaiman (stop calling him Neil, he is not your friend) for this because of his political stances only serves to make trans rights activism look bad.

If you give a flying fuck about trans people and/or women, you should condemn him and hold him to the exact same ‘believe women’ standards that you would hold any other man facing the same allegations. Your perceived protection of him will only ever be interpreted as the classic political practice of hiding a prominent man’s crimes for a cause’s benefit.

The latter part of that last paragraph being the exact reason why a ‘terf’ reporting on it shouldn’t be treated as an excuse to disregard these allegations.

You are acting in the exact same way as Republicans do about men like Trump, Thomas and that guy who cried at his confirmation hearing.

EDIT: Hey, can we all agree to censure the rapist and his apologists without adding hateful comments about each other in the tags, please?

I’d very much like it if my post didn’t get used in an anti-terf/anti-tra exchange.

This post is about cis men and their ways of dodging responsibility for crimes against cis women, it’s not a forum for vitriolic attacks at each other.

Thank you.

stoic illiterate unwilling assassin deeply in love with unfailingly kind rich sad gay man almost stabs his crush's brother because the brother cares so much and so genuinely for the gay man that he searched assassin's room out of worry and found knives and a mysterious letter before being interrupted by the assassin who then does not want to show him the letter which seems incredibly suspicious, only for a later scene (after the gay man interrupts them and thus stops any escalation from happening) to quietly reveal that the very sus letter in possession of this illiterate assassin is not in fact a sign he's lying about being illiterate.... it's just two pages of him practicing the gay man's name over and over in neatly spaced lines...... a reveal which he was going to STAB a man over because he doesn't know that the gay man's brother knows the man is gay and loves him with his whole heart and would never ever do anything to hurt him........ i will never get over this, how could i ever get over this, everything else ever is going to be downhill from here

Chevalier's fetish

There were a lot of guesses for what this could be. Some were very funny (@vioisgoinginsane it's not feet that would be napoleon, thank you @yanderepuck). Some were close (@leonscape @ichgakr01270910 @xbalayage - it is book related). And some were more like what I expected it to be (@drachonia @thegeekcloud - he is a sadist who likes to bite).

But no. It's something no one guessed - and why would any of you...

It's translating foreign literature.

He then discusses foreign languages and mentions that a guest from another country will soon be visiting and teases/torments the idea of leaving entertaining them (and learning their language) to you.

it IS weird that the general consensus on twelve is that peter capaldi is an excellent actor but his episodes are bad (esp in comparison to the general consensus on series 5 being that it's some of the best the show gets) bc i am overall really enjoying series 8, a lot more than the last 3

Armand using his powers to sway Daniel towards accepting death only for Louis to do the opposite so Daniel will not only survive, but LIVE…..curious to see if this ends up reversed at the end of the season.

Certain fans pretending that Darius being a rebel came out of nowhere is so funny, because while, yes, the show's writing is not the greatest, and it is understandable for a casual viewer to miss the Blimp scene or that later Darius doesn't restrain the kids, but some of the supposed fans who over-analyze everyone else, just so happen to miss the way Darius talks to Hunter from the Blimp and that if Darius was a 100% bad guy there would be no reason for him to clearly indicate that he thinks capturing the children wasn't something to be proud of - especially in that tone of voice and with that expression, and that there was no reason for him to lie this way if he wanted to manipulate Hunter, and that that scene was meant to be a clear hint that he had a moral code of his own and wasn't absolutely on Belos' side, all before the episode's ending.

(And it is also funny because he is in only two episodes before the rebel reveal, in one of them he is already established as a complex character, so there is just not even enough episodes of him being a villain to declare that the rebel stuff came out of nowhere)

And it is absolutely understandable to just dislike the show's writing choices (i think its writing is at best uneven, but often just weak), but with some fans it is very clear that they only have problems with Darius and only because of Hunter and the one-dimensional, worst possible fanon interpretations of Darius' actual actions. (< - and this is my actual problem, not that someone missed some hints or just have a different interpretation). Especially blatant when the same fans defend almost every other writing choice.

And of course it just happens that fans almost never have problems with Eda and King's writing, even though they are main characters, and some choices about their relationship are much more puzzling if you look at them with the same scrutiny fandom looks at Darius.

And among white Hunter fans there is almost never any care or thought about how Darius being a villain would fit with what characters like Belos and Odalia represent, and what it would mean and how it would have been handled considering the way the show already treats its characters of color, especially black characters, and how it would fit into the existence of the trope among fantasy shows of putting dark-skinned characters into oppressive roles. But there is no consideration or care about it.

while aaravi remains firmly within "yeah miranda has a difficult personality and isn't very easy to get along with + has many rough edges which are slowly being worked on but still going to be an issue" after having been very much so within the camp that miranda is a Vexing Bitch upon first contact/getting to know her, she DOES go from "miranda is unpredictable and dangerous as a merfolk and large macropredator and her emotions are inscrutable and random" to "merfolk aren't very hard to understand or predict and it's very easy to stay on the safe side if you keep basic rules in mind and don't freak out the second something unexpected happens"
