The Starmaker never fell from the heavens for her questions. Instead, she falls for the Guardian Angel of the Eastern Gate after becoming the Guardian of the ever-changing waters of the earth. Without a serpent whispering in their ears, the apple never quite appeals to the first humans. The demons of Hell are forced to hatch a new plan and create fruits never seen before. How will the two Angels fare when faced with the ultimate temptation?

Shaped around the poem Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti (with slight textual variations in the poem itself).

Bridgerton S4’s treatment of the upstairs-downstairs issues and dynamic is just brilliant.

Yerin Ha really anchors it as Sophie Baek, and I adore the way Jess Brownell et al use her role as a POV character to introduce a whole expanded world & style of shooting that world, whilst still tying it into the Bridgerton style. It feels less like a “new world” and more like an extension of the world that we’ve just never seen before, still beautiful but also more grounded.

The way the background characters of the past 3 seasons become POV characters? GOD, it did something to me. Really highlighted the way servants are mostly furniture in the world of the upper class. Gorgeous work.

We finally get to see the Bridgertons as mostly spoiled and a bit useless, whilst remaining as loveable and complex as ever. Ben is WILDLY naïve about basically anything practical, and particularly about Sophie’s position in society. This is treated as his arc to overcome, alongside his own fundamental mismatch with the Expectations of Society (TM). Perfect use of the conventions of the romantic male lead to explore class themes.

The mistress issue is SO well done. The highlighting through Sophie’s backstory that being a mistress is a second-rate relationship that does not guarantee permanent safety for women or their children, versus the way it is presented to Ben by other rich men as a way to find genuine love without disappointing his mother. The scene where we get the big romantic swelling and confession of love, and then Ben asks Sophie to be his MISTRESS?! And he means it so sincerely, not having a clue how un-romantic that offer is? I love you Jess Brownell, this is wonderful narrative work.

Also, and this could easily be a whole post in itself: THE MAID WARS.

The whole team are exploring labour rights, consent and class issues with a far more unflinching approach than I expected. It’s still Brigerton — optimistic, tongue in cheek, fun, stylised and beautiful — but it’s also more mature, more grounded, and better for it.

GOD I love the romance genre when it’s done right.

It appears that JK Rowling’s team invited Jeffrey Epstein to the Cursed Child play and to a Harry Potter themed dinner.

This invitation was from 2018, long after Epstein had been convicted of soliciting sex from a minor.

THIS IS OUR RADIUM. you're absolutely right

How it feels to use any tool, app, or website right now

[baddywronglegs]

Worse, it's our asbestos. It's being put into things we're going to have to keep using long after everyone has to finally accept it was a bad idea, in such a way it will be almost impossible to remove.

Radium suppositories and asbestos might both be in museums but the radium's in the exhibits, the asbestos is in the walls.

You know technology literacy is dying because I saw this meme with 76k likes

F11 the full screen button? You’re scared of the full screen button? F10?? It opens the menu bar???

[boybeetles]

Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖

If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

[novapsa]

(Stares in bewildered Australian) And?

[wizardpotions]

I swear to fucking god if I see another post about someone from the southern hemisphere saying shit like this. No one on Tumblr is capable of understanding when someone is talking about their own experience and be normal about it. I don't even really give a shit about the Christmas side of this just that climate change has gotten so bad that there is no longer ice in Scotland in December and you should be worried about that actually. Imagine if people came on here being like I don't give a shit about Australian wildfires because it doesn't effect me

Just saying, while I share the sentiment of being weirded out by increasingly warm winters, the idea of "snowy Christmas" is profoundly anglocentric, even within Europe.

The concept of a "white Christmas" is pretty rare to experience anywhere in Europe southern than Amsterdam (so 3/4ths of Europe, population-wise). Hell, even some of the nordic capitals (Copenhagen and Stockholm) only get white Christmas maybe once per decade or so. Sure, it can snow everywhere, but in December? It's rarely enough for the snow to actually settle.

So yeah, not really a very significant portion of Europe, really.

[wizardpotions]

Oh my god you people can't read anything without being mad that it's not about you.

I live in Central Europe and we ABSOLUTELY used to have snow in December when I was a kid, roughly twenty years ago. We don't anymore. Wtf are some of these replies on.
