Kaylin and I are watching Zhang Yimou's House of the Flying Daggers for the second time. we're fans of Yimou, though we've seen Hero and Curse of the Golden Flower many more times than this one.

we're a complicated plural system with a lot of Fate/ introjects, and you know who loves this movie? Hassan of Serenity, as you might imagine. she's been active in the Pnictogen Wing largely because of our interest in learning about Islam and the Quran, and she loves Zhang Yimou movies—who'd have thunk it.

Tinúviel was dancing there to music of a pipe unseen. And light of stars was in her hair and in her raiment, glimmering.

The painting process I made last month for an art challenge! I’m still not a fan of painting with green yet, but I’ll give it another go sometime and keep on trying!

I MEAN DAE YOU KNEW I WAS COMING IN HERE FOR #13. YOU KNEW. but also 18.

Question from here

Somebody else got to 13 before you, so have a link to the post where I talk about attachment here! 18 on the other hand...

18. Someone else has to play Obi-Wan, who do you cast?

This one doesn't even need thought honestly, I've talked about this So Extensively with people.

We were denied Mifune Obi-Wan back in the 70s, but it's never too late to live the dream. Takeshi Kaneshiro would be such a good Obi-Wan, he's got the athleticism, the smoulder, the beard, everything we could possibly want.

Just LOOK at him

And like, let's be real here; no white guy could replace Ewan as Obi-Wan like, sorry it's just not gonna happen. It wouldn't work. It'd be like watching a poorly prepared understudy in a play. If we have to change, it needs to be a complete overhaul. Not some uncanny valley copycat.

SJM Free April

First, this does not include any fan weeks happening during April, nor does this mean no one should post their work they’ve been creating (unless you want to/are ok with postponing it’s release). As for the rest of us, I’m so tired of feeling like a pawn in BB and SJM’s ploy to milk as much money out of this fandom as possible.

They stay silent even when the fandom is toxic, artists have been bullied off of platforms or driven away from doing SJM related artwork, they care so little about marketing and engaging with us that I feel like we’ve been abandoned. And they do this and get away with this bc of how active we are as a fandom. Their silence has gotten to a point where it’s genuinely hurt our fandom, as individuals and as a whole.

They think their silence is ok. Well let’s see how they feel about our silence. No free marketing, no free promo, no free hype. For the entire month of April, let’s ban together and show them how powerful we really are. If you want to participate, it’s quite simple, please refrain from posting about SJM’s books, characters, worlds, future books, series, art, fics, theories, HCs, etc. On all platforms. I understand with how big SJM is on social media that being completely silent is unlikely, but even is a portion of us refrain from talking about her and her works, I think that will send a powerful message to BB and her team that we’re over their bs.

If you want to participate, please help spread the word! Reblog, share on other platforms, take screen shots and send to your group chats, etc! Let everyone know!
