#but we'd be here all day

[mingot-studios]

while I totally understand people wanting to have seen more of Matthew Lillard's Afton in the movie I would like to remind you that..

Hannibal had 16 minutes of screentime in the of Silence of The Lambs,

Michael Myers only had 10 mins,

Freddy Krueger only had 7 minutes,

and more to the point;

Ghostface had like 6 MINUTES OF SCREEN TIME IN THE OG FILM

I'm just saying, look up the first instalment of any popular horror movie series and you'll be surprised how little the killer actually appears in it

Netflix's "Persuasion," a review

The central conflict in most Regency Era romance stories is the Regency Era itself. The customs, etiquette, the class system, views on money and race, the law, social structure, gender norms and roles ... all of it informs how people interact with each other. Who they can love, who they can marry, how they can marry, and why they marry. It is the source of the prejudice in "Pride & Prejudice," the sense in "Sense & Sensibility," and why Mr. Knightly discouraged Emma's matchmaking schemes.

So when Netflix's "Persuasion" tossed everything but the clothes and carriages from the Regency Era out the window, it removed the most important source of conflict from the story. Snarky, drunken Anne Elliot, who smears jam on her face and pees in the woods ten feet from her supposed love interest, has none of the appeal and quiet dignity that Anne Elliot of the novel did.

In the novel, Anne is so bound by propriety, her role as the younger unmarried daughter of a baronet, and over all what she believes is the correct way for a young woman of good sense and breeding to behave, that she allows herself to be persuaded out of marrying the love of her life because she truly thinks its the best course of action for everyone. In the movie she is simply childish and mean, resentful of everyone around her, snotty and cruel. I wasn't sure what was more insulting: that the writers felt that modern audiences wouldn't relate to Anne Elliot, or that they felt this version of her was more relatable.

The longing, the yearning looks, the 8 years of pining between Anne and Wentworth is gone in the movie. The doubt, the subtle hints, the careful gathering of information, all of that is thrown out in favor of frank discussions of feelings and beliefs, outright declarations of intentions, and forthright questions demanding prompt answers.

All of which asks the question: What was the point of this movie? Why modernize it to the point that you remove the entire framework the original story was built on? None of the character’s actions made any sense, none of the events had any impact on the story, and the climax of the novel was rendered completely pointless by the time it came up in the movie.

Netflix’s “Persuasion” is a shameful adaptation of one of my favorite novels. I only enjoyed it in that I got to spend that time with a friend tearing it to shreds while we watched it. Anne Elliot deserved so much better.

Fluffy Relaxation

Between the times when work stress is burning me out, my ideal way to relax is with a book. That begs to question:

[the-gayest-sky-kid]

god i love my friends. shout out to people who love their friends. this is a post for friend lovers

[sinlizards]

had the honor of painting the cover for @aasiblingszine! I put a lot of love and detail into this one ^_^

[cosmicwhoreo]

I was recently looking at CRK TV tropes and saw interesting description of Abalone Cookie being a foil to Captain Caviar Cookie: Both are captains yet both their meetings with Black Pearl Cookie are vastly different wity "Abalone whimpers and cries in fear while Caviar just calmly talks to her." I find this scenrio kinda hilarious because its very true.😂

like it's even a competition-

I got all caught up on Re: Dracula and now I am suffering in the Droughtula

Now what will I listen to during all my household chores? How will I do dishes without the reassuring tones of Quincey Morris comforting me, dust my shelves without the wise guidance of Van Helsing?

A tragedy

Hey y’all, happy Valentines Day!! Have some TLT themed valentine pun cards that I spent too much time on!

Some alternatives for Nona were “I love you more than dogs!” and “I feel incomplete without you” for Kiriona, but that one just made me sad,

there's something so dear about the way zen looks at obi and shirayuki when they're together. he always looks so content looking at them. the boy is in love

A few months ago I drew out some headcanons related to various disablities & other physical conditions and decided to finish them up now that It's disability pride month ( Even If not all are necessarily disablitles <3 )

[ First time doing Image descriptions so I'd appreciate feedback! ]

[laughhardrunfastbekindsblog]

Finished the Umbara arc tonight and...

I rewatched this specific shot, like, twelve times 😍😍😍

Nice to have moments like this when, you know, other scenes come up...

"Live to fight another day, boys." 💔

"Everyone, stop firing! We're shooting at our own men! Look, we're clones! WE'RE ALL CLONES!" 😭😭😭

Thank heavens for Rex being as observant as he is, noticing the tiny bit of chin showing under the fallen clone's helmet, and going to investigate 💔

So now that I'm sufficiently sad, next up is the slavery story...

Easter with König

It's another holiday, which means I'm going to make my favorite fictional Austrian go through the holidays as well. First was Fasching, now it's Easter! If I have to celebrate it, then so does König, except he gets to have a better time doing it!

I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d meet his family during Easter. It’s a tradition of his to go to his parents’ home during that time for a visit and a chat, he only sees them maybe twice a year, so he can appreciate having a small get together with them. He normally gets along well with his parents, but he’s lost most of the contact he had with them ever since he hit his mid 20’s, but he does look forward to seeing them. Naturally, he’d take you along for the ride, regardless of whether you actually know German or not. He can play interpreter for you, it’s not a problem for him. But if you know German already? All the better, that way his parents and you can just talk to each other with no problems. He does hope that you’ll get along with them, they did play an important part in his life when he was younger.

König genuinely hopes that you will like the traditional Osterjause*, though. He’s loved Easter for that reason, and for the freshly baked lambs, but mostly for the best Brettljause*. In fact, he’s probably called his mother two weeks before his visit to let her know what kind of meat and sausages to get for him and you as well so that there shall be plenty to go around. If you’re not from around, then you likely don’t know what a “Gsöchts”* or “Schweinsbratn”* is, but he will assure you that it’s something delicious. König could rave on and on about that one farmer’s “Hauswiaschtl”. In fact, if he can, he’d love to go to the farmer’s market on Friday with you just so he can get you something to eat. Not above grabbing some Bauernbrot* and Krenn* either while he’s at it. Mans needs his Krenn when eating his Osterjause. Although it will have been a while since he’s seen everyone, he will introduce you to all the farmers there since he knows a good chunk of them growing up.

Naturally, he’ll be drinking a few beers here and there as well. He’s Austrian, it’s in his blood. Will have you try everything off the plate, from the Nuss* to the low-fat Karree*. Loves having you with him and will actively try to involve you in any conversation there may be so that you get to talk as well. Again, it might be a bit awkward if you don’t know any German, especially since he’s not the most reliable translator, but you’ll get by somehow. His parents have been curious about you for a while now anyway and have been wanting to meet you.

Although he claims to be far too old for that sort of thing, he wouldn’t mind looking for an “Osterkerberl”* with you. It’s a nice tradition that he used to love as a child and he wants you to experience Austrian Easter with him, so he likely asked his mother to hide one for you somewhere around the yard so you can go find it. She won’t give you any clues as to where it could be found. It’s childish, but it’s a lot of fun. In fact, if König were to ask her to prepare a Kerberl* for you, then chances are she prepared one for him as well, for old time’s sake. And then the both of you, two fully grown adults, will run around the yard, looking for the basket. Once you found it, you had to admit it was rather cute, filled with a few hand painted eggs, some colorful chocolate, a baked lamb and some crafted chicks and bunnies. Clearly, his mother put in a lot of thought into what goes into such a small basket. In fact, even the “grass” was made of edible paper, it seemed.

König would feel somewhat stupid, looking for a basket of all things during Easter, but it did remind him of his childhood, so he wouldn’t outwardly complain. Besides, you walking up to him, all happy with your little basket, does something to him. The sight was just too adorable, so he’d likely ask you, the master sleuth, to assist him in his hunt. Once you’ve both found them, you’d return back to his parents’ apartment and continue just chatting while occasionally eating a bit of the Jause*.
