#still mad at netflix about it

[lovandfear]

those for me?

Enid: If we’re gonna sneak out of the Academy, we should find someone to cover for us.

Wednesday: Who?

Enid: Maybe Yoko.

Wednesday: Alright, give me five minutes. I’ll break her soul by finding out her true fears, turning them into reality and therefore threatening her into covering for us, to end her suffering. When I’m done with her, she won’t even remember her own name. Let me get my torture knife.

Enid: Or we could just ask her.

Wednesday: Or that, yes. That could also work, I guess.

Enid: Are you upset now?

Wednesday: No, your idea is fine. I’m fine. This is..fine.

Enid: Are you sure?

Wednesday: Mhm.

Enid: Why don’t you get the knife, just in case?

Wednesday: You are my favorite person in the whole world.

Blue Eye Samurai Rant

So I'm cursed with the knowledge that the creators/wikipedia page/every single instance of media coverage of Blue Eye Samurai explicitly made Mizu canonically fEmALe and I hate this?? I've read the Jane Wu interview and everything and I understand where she's coming from and the show's worth watching and there's a lot of obvious talent and writing chops that went into making it but it also woulda been so much cooler and frankly more compelling if the creators weren't CIS like frfr how the hell are you going to put so much painfully, glaringly obvious queer/trans coding and transmasc trauma into quite literally every aspect of a focal character and then deny me trans Mizu with all these quotes about how "She's an unconventional woman suppressed by the oppressive patriarchy of her time"?? I don't care how reasonable this complaint is I'm fucking ANNOYED, this is a MAN and the world owes me this much

I sent my sister a message to let her know I won't be able to go home this weekend and she sent me THIS PICTURE:

So I, of course, lost my shit and asked her whyyyyy would she do that to me...

And she replied with this picture

She's hurt because I told our mom this morning and waited until the afternoon to tell her lmaoooo

She said she googled something like "sad Young Royals dudes" and found a bunch of Simon and Wille pictures 🥲🥲

I love her, she's insane. Still wish I had enough money to go home this weekend and smack her but I have to go home on the 17th for civic duty and can't afford two trips 😩

I absolutely hate netflix's "you must binge this series immediately upon release or we are cutting all support for its creators" thing. Maybe I have other media I'm consuming at the moment. Maybe im not in the mood for that genre right now. Maybe my life is just busy.

Why does me watching it later have absolutely no value to Netflix. Why even bother maintaining a catalouge of content at all if it doesn't matter if people watch it.

Screaming crying throwing up because Sam will never know that Grizz came back from the expedition

[rainecreatesstuff]

if heartstopper was unnecessarily sweet and didn't need to be made then explain why i kept expecting Nick to do something to just horrendously hurt Charlie or vice versa. If media doesn't teach queer kids that suffering is a prerequisite for happiness explain why i was on edge my entire first watch through waiting for the other shoe to drop and for it to end in some bittersweet or unsatisfying way.

Oh wow. Disney cancelled Willow. Y'know. The. Butch4butch lesbians. Knight and Princess. Fucking amazing rep, brilliant fantasy setting. Fabulous storytelling.

Yeah. I'm not surprised..... I remember seeing a clip weeks before I started it and immediately wondering how long it'd take zo have the confirmation it's cancelled. I'm just so tired. Every. Time. And I mean EVERY time we have sapphic representation on a show, it gets cancelled, censored, or receives massive backlash. I can't name a SINGLE wlw rep (centric!!!) show that wasn't cancelled. Doctor Who, maybe. Wow. One.

I can name at least ten shows that were cancelled off the top of my head. In the last year. I'm tired.

Fuck Disney. Fuck Netflix. Fuck every single person who cancels wlw rep. We constantly hear that our stories don't want to be heard. Thanks. Apparently queer women only matter as a fetishised form of entertainment for men or as a background and side character. Thanks. Definitely does GREAT things for people's self-worth.

Representation matters!

y'know what. people are very predictable sometimes. everyone was complaining and promising to boycott the live action ATLA, especially after the original ATLA show runners left due to creative differences. but I knew the moment we got the actors in costume and trailers and decent-looking CGI, all the critics would fold just like that. And yeah, they all folded. You could bring up the same points you brought up 6 months ago and get booed for not suddenly liking the idea of a live action ATLA like everyone else. how about people not be predictable about popular IP and stick to their guns for once.

"The show didn't make Kaz THAT bad"

People, i am calling it now: "i protect my investments" is going to be treated like a cutesy shipping tease line , not something related to Kaz´s coldness being a negative trait that afects his personal relationships, not something that may be the cause of Inej´s insecurities.

I am only say that because netflix know how much fandom is waiting for that moment, it´s going to have absolutely no meaning , no weight on character but it will be there.

So YES , they did him THAT bad , and the next person who tell me the show didn't kill any change to character/relationship develoment , better read the book again.

Also i am not ready to see people calling Inej dumb or oblivious for not getting together with Kaz right there like "oh but Kaz already told her he loved her" "she is so dump for doubting him" "he is sooo sweet!" and the worst part will be that it won't be their fault but Netflix´s for not doing their freaking job.

who needs a relationship when netflix is here to give you trust issues

[no-1-rosalind-lang-apologist]

sab netflix is so weird because they literally made kaz into the 1 star goodreads review version of himself? like look at him! he's so mean and evil but like he's damaged so it's okay 🥺🥺🥺

Okay, since it has come to my attention that it has been 10 years of Lockwood and Co., (Thank you @wellgoslowly) I want to talk about the effect Lockwood & Co. has had on me.

I did not find Lockwood & Co. until a few months after the show’s release, but that did not stop me from quickly becoming obsessed with this world. Well. Obsessed conjures up a more negative image.

I fell in love with Lockwood & Co.

Very quickly, I found that 35 Portland Row would bring a sense of home that my house, no matter how full, could not generate. Every little detail was perfect, and I can not honestly tell you of a more homey house. I want to live, if not in the world of Lockwood & Co., then at least in their house. The little things in 35 Portland Row brought the house to life. The house itself had so much character, there was a feeling that it was not just lived in but lived in, you know? It felt like our characters weren’t just on a set, or in a museum, but a place where they could relax and just be kids in a world where that wasn’t allowed.

Now, the only thing better than living in a home like 35 Portland Row, in my opinion, would be to have people like our Iron Trio. Everything, and I mean everything, about Lockwood & Co. makes me feel a bigger sense of belonging, just being a reader, than I feel in my own life. But I’ll talk about that later. What I want to talk about now is Lockwood, Lucy, and George.

Each of them are perfect, beautifully flawed, and human. I work so hard at being a “perfect” person that seeing these people be flawed and broken, and be accepted, not despite of, but regardless? Seeing these teenagers mess up, ruin something (admittedly to a much larger scale than mine) but still have friends to turn to? It felt like a wake up call. A reminder that I don’t have to be some society-defined standard for what is “normal” or “perfect”. More than anything, the Iron Trio more or less looked me in the eye and told me that I can be myself, and my true friends, my true family, will accept me for me.

I see a bit of myself in each of the Iron Trio. I have Lucy’s insecurity, her anger. I have Lockwood’s need to win, because who will pick up the pieces for me if I fail? I have George’s social awkwardness, his tendency to prefer books over people. That might be why these characters are so beloved. Whether it be their strengths or their weaknesses, almost everyone can find something to relate to in them.

I think Netflix did an amazing job with the Lockwood & Co. adaptation. I am not saying that because I found the show first. I have read the books as well. The casting is top-tier, especially for our beloved Iron Trio. But it’s not just the actors I am praising here, although they deserve all the praise in the world and more. Everyone behind the scenes, from the big names in the intro to the assistant to the assistant of somebody, made this masterpiece of a book-to-screen adaptation possible. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all involved in the slightest in the transition from beloved book to screen.

Back to what I was saying earlier, I genuinely feel like I belong more in Lockwood & Co. than in my own life. I’m not saying “I’m too good for this world” or “I hate my life” or anything like that. Maybe it’s not that I belong more in Lockwood & Co. but that I want to belong in something like Lockwood & Co. I want the found family. I want the people who care for me, not because they’re supposed to, but because they chose to. Reading from Lucy’s perspective, it is evident that Lucy feels as if she belongs, thus bringing the reader (at least in my case) along with her. Watching the show, I think Ruby, Cameron, and Ali did a phenomenal job of portraying this. This little family at 35 Portland Row will always be in my heart, getting me through even more than they already have.

To end this rant, I just want to say thank you. Thank you to Jonathan Stroud, for creating Lockwood & Co. and all that it has brought along with it. Thank you to Joe Cornish, for putting his all into the Lockwood & Co. tv show. Thank you to Ruby Stokes, Cameron Chapman, and Ali Hadji-Heshmati. All the actors were amazing, but these three truly brought the Iron Trio to life on screen in the best way possible. And thank you to everyone in between, who I didn’t name, but who were a part nonetheless in giving us this wonderful, wonderful world, Lockwood & Co. Thank you, thank you, thank you all for giving me, for giving us, a world to fall in love with. ❤️

Mike Flanagan really said "eat the rich" with The Fall of the House of Usher and I think that's very sexy of him.
