Unsettling and Energic

You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light

the year is 2035. the new beauty standard is for women to cut their ears off, as ears are a masculine trait which make the face look too big and hearing isnt necessary as it doesnt align with being demure. evil feminists say perhaps this is unnecessary and ears are natural. women are agressively proclaiming they are cutting their ears off due to sensory issues

i feel like we've completely killed the ability to just gently tell someone when they're wrong or that their opinions don't pass the vibe check. we have to accommodate every single type of person and all their dogshit opinions OR we have to drive them off the internet, no in between

Ok this is it, I have to get something of my chest. Because of this goddamned Odyssey film I keep reading everywhere that Emily Wilson is the first woman to translate the Odyssey and because of this she has a unique take on the text.... NO NO NO THIS IS NOT TRUE she's the first ENGLISH woman to translate the Odyssey but women have been translating and publishing their translation since the 1700s !!!! In French and Italian and I'm sure other languages too!!

I'm so mad because students in Italy have been studying on Rosa Calzecchi Onesti's translation for decades!! Her translation is so well regarded it keeps being used in academia to this day and it's from the 60s!!! There have been dozens of other translations since then but we keep using that one !!!

(and also many other women published their translations both before and after her)

The irresistible urge of english/american ppl to make universal statements out of their experience

Gondorian girl #8264918636, that we will call Elfiriel for brevity's sake, is very beautiful.

She is of Dunedain descent (or so her father, a merchant, told her), but despite that she's so petite, standing only at 1.56 m; she has the typical ebony, wavy hair of her ancestors, and eyes the colour of sweet, fresh honey.

She grew up with tales of ancient times, that can be summed up as: "Don't wander into dangerous lands, you may be killed/cursed/kidnapped"

Despite this, Elfiriel does exactly what the tales warned her about: she ventures alone at night, in the woods. Of course her life as an upper middle-class Gondorian, where she had everything she needed, where she could wander around her city without a single thought in her head and still make it home safely, well, it sucked too much for her.

Anyways, she thinks she's safe anyways because she can defend herself. Spoiler: she can't. In fact, a random group of orcs (that has no reason to be in the woods, but we need them for the plot) finds her and captures her. Elfiriel maybe realised that she needed to practice more than once or twice the move that the young guard tried to teach her (in an attempt to impress her). Because you know what the thing is about fighting? That you need to practice so much that those moves become muscle memory :) It can take a lot of time :)

Back to the story.

An uruk slaps her, which sends her KO. They decide to take her and sell her as soon as they meet some Marauders.

During the journey to Mordor, the girl tries to strike up a conversation, and fails. Because those uruks deem her an inferior weakling that's not worth their time. It goes like this:

"So uh... Where are we going?"

"It's none of your business. Shut up or that guy with the eye-patch will whip you."

Or,

"Why are you doing this to me?!"

"You shriek like a damn Shrieker and I HATE that. Make her stop Lugnak, I don't care how you do it, just don't cause too much damage."

Well, you can imagine several scenarios of what might happen.

Anyways, the group meets a caravan of Marauders. The girl is sold for 10 mirian and a bunch of jewels that the marauders didn't want anymore. After that, she's put to work in the farms of Nurn, where she eventually dies. Because slaves usually don't have long lives.

End of the story.

Lesson #1: orcs are awful, they hate their kin and other races even more. They don't care about you.
