Taika Waititi accepting his BAFTA by saying that it's nice to come from a colony to Britain and steal some of their gold and bring it back to where it belongs is a level of iconic behavior that is unparalleled

Is Mr Darcy supposed to be ugly? Because apart from Colin Firth, every single Mr Darcy I’ve ever seen is on the lower end of average and just SO unattractive in even a conventional way.

Is it on purpose? Or are there just too many ugly British dudes?

like if a drink is gonna taste bad, then I want it to at least Fuck Me Up, and if a drink isn’t gonna fuck me up, then i want it to taste real nice. but you can’t have a drink that both fails to fuck you up, AND fails to taste good. that’s cheating. and that’s beer.

I’ve been part of so many fandoms over the years, and I admit - most of the toxic shit I’ve seen is from fans of straight ships. I have seen some absolutely HIDEOUS things from straight fans regarding their straight ships/non-ships. Usually, they’re trashing characters that get in the way (Harry/Hermione fans), bullying actresses who don’t necessarily agree with their fantasies (Blarke shippers) and vile homophobia (Blarke again), endorsing toxic and abusive behaviour (Emma/Hook).

I have never seen anything of this sort come from Jonerys fans.

I’m sure there must be outliers (there always is), but I haven’t seen anything like what usually happens. I see it in J0nsa fans a lot. I don’t see it in people who love Daenerys.

I don’t know what my point is - maybe that Daenerys fans are better people? That people who love Dany tend to be more tolerant and less racist/sexist/homophobic? I don’t know, but I’m currently following more straight people than ever because of the sheer amount of love they have for my queen.

Disappointing to see misogyny in this house, it’s gross and I won’t stand for it.

If you’re a misogynist, be fucking ashamed of yourself. Especially if you’re a woman.

Get your shit together. Learn some fucking respect for the tens of millions of women abused, raped, mistreated, murdered by men.

Danny Huston, his co-star in The Professor, said when he met Johnny Depp he "fell in love instantly. There is a short film on the making of The Professor. All of the actors praised Johnny.

being a fan of Johnny Depp is one of the things I‘m most proud of about myself. I never, for once, doubt him. always stood by his side since the beginning of all this shit despite ppl sending me death threats. I will always be there for him. he IS innocent. The fact he’s still so strong and remains so sweet and gentle despite everything he’s been through. He is my hero.

Justice for Johnny Depp

[forevergoopy]

A lot of people on this list are abusers or have openly supported abusers and child rapists.

I’m not sure what any of this is supposed to prove.

There is no proof in any of these tweets, certainly not any more proof than Amber has presented, just a lot of misogyny and following the status quo.

[letbarbieshavedragons]

So like what’s the actual cutoff of YA fantasy and Fantasy? Anyone know? Is it up to the Author? The publisher? Who makes the call and whats generally the reasoning behind it?

[letbarbieshavedragons]

@arts-of-our-titans like that’s why I always assumed but Is it really tho? Bc wot and Got, both, two huge fantasy series have teenage/preteen protags. Also, who/what determines the target audience? Like I’ll admit asoiaf has a lot of mature content, but wot? It’s not that violent or sexual and while it does have some violence and mature themes no more than a lot of YA. Hunger Games gets very dark and deals with very mature themes and that’s YA. And the Cruel Prince starts (spoilers for the prologue here) with three children watching their parents get murdered by their mother’s ex husband and the eldest’s real father. That’s also YA.

So like why is the Cruel Prince YA and Wheel of Time isn’t?

[arts-of-our-titans]

I guesd you are right. The target market though is decided by the publishing company and all, and they marmet it according to the age group they think will take it up most. But yeah i think it’s mostly that.

[letbarbieshavedragons]

That’s interesting but like what makes them decide? Lol Like I’m not really well versed in this discourse or whatever so I’m just left scratching my head. I suppose it could also depend on the publisher and the year it was released?

I just started reading the cruel prince series and like it just struck me as a little mature for YA ya know?

Maybe it’s a length thing lmao. I think the books are only like 300-400 pgs long and the standard fantasy book I’ve read is like 600+

[forevergoopy]

Not to be That Person but I can’t help but notice, of all the books listed here - all of the fantasy books that fall under YA were written by women; the others were written by men

[letbarbieshavedragons]

Yeah I def noticed that too. A “weird” trend that YA authors tend to be women and fantasy authors men. But honeslty I don’t read enough or know enough about the issue to make that claim so I was kind of hoping there was another reason

[forevergoopy]

Don’t get me wrong, I hope there’s another reason too! A more substantial reason. I don’t read a lot of high fantasy (can’t deal with a lot of the misogyny and male waffling lmao) so there might be something in the type of fantasy that changes its characterisation. Or maybe it’s just who the author had in mind while writing it?

did y’all know that discrediting the hundred good deeds of a person because of one past misdeed is actually toxic and does absolutely nothing to encourage personal growth in people & positive change in the world? did y’all also know that you’re not exempt from your own callout/cancel culture because, in following your own logic, all of your good deeds will always be outweighed by your past mistakes, thereby making YOU no better than the people you spend all your time on twitter trying to “cancel” ??? wild how that works huh

[forevergoopy]

I REALLY hope this isn’t about a certain rapist …

[im-leaving-this-blog-now-bye-de]

please show me where you see the defense of rapists on my post

[forevergoopy]

I didn’t say that. I was more referring to the fact that posts like this are suddenly being circulated now that people are mentioning Kobe Bryant was a rapist. Suddenly everyone seems to be talking about rape as an excusable mistake men make and it’s all fine.

Obviously posts don’t have a time stamp, so I don’t know when this was made, and I am absolutely in agreement about cancel culture in general, I’m just on high alert at the moment. I’ve already had to unfollow several people who apparently aren’t against rapists.

I do apologise for implying that you’re defending rapists though, it was more of a knee jerk reaction based on other posts.

do you think this is what lovecraft meant whenever he described something as being beyond description

[naidje-deactivated]

“It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter.”

— H. P. Lovecraft,

At the Mountains of Madness

[space-lord-joe-kewl]

This.. actually makes a fine reference to what a lovecraftian eldritch abomination SHOULD BE. not just.. tentacles and darkness. Perpetually changing, not cemented in form, with an otherworldly feel to it. Completely unrecognizable by most human descriptions, and only able to be viable perceived by those fine enough to be an adept wordsmith.
