listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

My favorite scenes from The Odyssey (books 18 to 21)

Odysseus fighting a random beggar being its own book was not something I expected to enjoy this much when reading The Odyssey, but here we are.

dawn testing "things that would send a victorian child into a coma" on spike, but the problem is that he`s been present during the inovation of all those atrocious things, so then she brings her top gun - buffy and makes her flash her ankles, the victorian in spike was struck by a fatal blow and almost choked himself to another death, he needs a couple of minutes to regain his strength.

in my opinion one of yellowjackets' worst crimes is how often they use the adult storyline as comic relief but like. while actively doing a disservice to the whole thing. i love the jokes! usually they're great jokes. but you have all these fantastic actresses that signed up to this cool drama show about grief and trauma etc etc and actually gave them these super interesting and fascinating characters. and it feels like more and more often or at least so far in s3 they're just there as the butt of the joke or a break from the teen timeline

i don’t mean to jump the gun on witcher 4…

but it’s slowly sunk in for me over the past few months that ciri will be the protagonist of this new game, a new face of the brand, with an updated, witcheress design for her character

and i know the shift for her character design ignited outrage in misogynists across the internet, and i don’t mean to give credence to their arguments by saying that ciri does look different, she has changed

i don’t think it’s legitimatizing their complains by acknowledging that the character design is indeed different, the voice actress is different, it’s a new concept for ciri

and i feel the opposite way about it that they do…

because … holy shit, we’re going to actually have a GNC, not traditionally feminine female character as the very face of this new witcher trilogy, and it will be her trilogy and her story

like actually

asides from the jokes about how “she’s so gender” and “i want her”

i feel like mainstream fantasy right now (and perhaps forever) has always emphasized feminine women, and obviously i’m not against that, insert “i love femmes” meme here, i’m a man (gender-neutral term) of good taste, i can appreciate womanly women :)

but what i mean is that it is sometimes very difficult to see a space for GNC women in fantasy (… as also in society)

despite when they can “fight like men” or “just as well as men,” even when they can dress “like men” or “as a masculine dress”…

like consider even ciri in the witcher 3; she is a powerful witcheress and skilled swordswoman, but she still has to wear a shirt that exposes her collarbones or an armor piece that shows her midriff, and her face is often smiley and pleasant, even when she cries (… not saying that some of this isn’t in character for book ciri—she had the face of a perennial girl)

but watching the witcher 4 trailer over, seeing her expressions, her skin texture, the dirt and sweat, looking at the armor design they’ve given her, the ripping and tearing, the messy, dirty work of a witcher, blood and grime and magic and steel…

maybe i have a very low bar, but when most “women of fantasy” right now look like ballgowns, pristine makeup, fighting in high heels…

(and i’m not saying that there hasn’t been GNC women as protagonists before in gaming and in fantasy. ciri’s braid even reminds me of kassandra from AC)

and when to be “a woman in fantasy” or “interested in fantasy” means that you often have to conform to these gender expectations, aesthetics, which are mostly plastic and mass-manufactured anyways, no matter from what side

like just look at fantasy booktok and what it means to be a woman on fantasy booktok. i’m happy for these women and i’m happy for them genuinely enjoting their interests, but it’s like the farthest thing that i’m interested in, in fantasy, and it feels weird to be lumped together, it feels like there’s an expectation to be a certain way, to fit in with what is consumable and feminine, ascribed to my birth gender

and considering ciri who was a princess, who was raised for ballgowns

you know—and again, asides from the story implications and book lore—seeing ciri redefined for this title, given such a real, witcher design, not altered because she’s a woman, it means something.

because it’s not just one trailer, it’s going to be the whole game, she’s the protagonist, in every cutscene, there’s going to be different armor, animations, it’s going to be real. she’s going to be in the stream of pop culture, people will know her and her image, and this will become part of the contemporary fantasy genre, of the public perception, of women in fantasy, just as much as a court of fae and fuckall is

like this 👆 is a woman too. deal with it. enjoy it. bcuz i will be

Am I the only one that thinks Myrna called Robby fruitcake because she’s calling him crazy?

It’s a very old term and, per my grandma, a fruitcake was an insane person. So maybe she saw him lose his shit once or twice? I mean clearly she’s a frequent flyer.

I get fruity=gay and she might be calling him gay but, I stand by Myrna tormenting Robby because of his mental state instead.
