For the love of god stop saying Uma and Mal are cousins and that Poseidon is Umaās grandpa, THATS NOT TRUE!!! Stop treating scrapped content like itās canon!!!
the creepiness of unaddressed love spells is the dead carcass this fandom is gonna be circling until this website's servers close down BUT imma pick at it a little more anyway just to say--I think criticism of the writing should focus on the lack of autonomy of Ben and not Mal v. Uma and who wore it (the guilt of a love spell) worse.
to be clear, the movies don't address the fact that either girl spelled him and how fckin weird that could turn, and super quickly. I don't think the movie blames Mal or Uma tbh. Mal gets off with little more than a laugh from Ben in the carriage and one quip from Audrey, and Uma's crime is centered around her bid for the wand, not her spelling of Ben. In fact, p sure they never mention it again.
the irony is at the time of the spells, neither girl was really in it to control Ben romantically / long term? they both just needed a date to a big event so they could have wand proximity. then in the third movie we get a villain who does feel a desire to control Ben romantically and long term, and when extortion doesn't work, she curses him to turn into something where he'd lose control of his body / faculties in a different way???? something that will also remain unaddressed in the conclusion of this film?????
i think a lot of people tend to forget that before anne boleyn came along, katherine or aragon was an ambassador, rallied an army and was regent of england. and she occupied these unique spaces for years....this is kinda what i mean when i say just getting into tudor history for anne boleyn and elizabeth skews how you view other tudor figures. some people genuinely do not know that katherine was a power house, they just know her through proxminity to anne and henry
I know people try to wiggle her out of it, but Anne Boleyn bares much of the fault for Mary's abuse. The fact that for Mary, it seemed like her mother was being replaced aside
I don't think it's incorrect to say Anne was not kind to Mary. Her role in the cruelty of what happened to Mary is often placed on Henry, but that's not entirely accurate.
I never imagined I'd reach a point where I'd be writing these words. I used to think the greatest pain was losing my legsā¦ but I discovered that the greatest pain is feeling alone. I waited for donations. I waited for a message of support. I waited for someone to say, āWeāre here.ā But the days passedā¦ and the notifications remained silent. Today, no one stands by meā¦ except my crutches. They don't ask why help was delayed. They don't promise anything and then disappear. They don't let me down. Whenever I'm tired, I lean on them. Whenever my heart falters, they steady me. The crutches know my weightā¦ and carry what humans cannot. I confessā¦ for a moment, I lost hope. I felt invisible, that my story meant nothing to anyone. But despite that, I still breathe. I still try to stand, even if it's just with crutches. Perhaps my story hasn't reached its destination yet, perhaps relief hasn't come yet, but I will keep standingā¦ even if the whole world is far away. Because I've learned one thing: even if people let you down, don't let yourself down.
Help Ahmed Nasr Walk Again: A Urgent Call for Support

And while this is happening while people are buried under rubble, while children freeze in tents, while entire families vanish overnight powerful men sit comfortably and present plans for a āNew Gaza.ā
Clean slides. Perfect buildings. Investment numbers. A future imagined without the people who are currently being erased.
They talk about peace while bombs are still falling. They talk about rebuilding while destruction is ongoing. They draw maps over land that is soaked with blood and call it hope.
The ceasefire is a lie.
Whatās happening is ethnic cleansing, repackaged with the language of development and diplomacy. You cannot build a ānewā city by destroying the people who belong to it. You cannot promise a future while actively killing the present.
This isnāt peace. Itās violence with better branding.
Today, three journalists were killed in a single airstrike.
Not soldiers. Not fighters. Journalists. People who believed that if they kept documenting, if they kept filming, if they kept writing, the world would eventually care.
In Gaza, telling the truth has become one of the most dangerous things you can do. Holding a camera is treated like holding a weapon. Every photo risks your life. Every report could be your last.
They had names. Families. People waiting for them to come home. They were not numbers, and they were not mistakes. They were silenced because truth is inconvenient, because images expose what statements try to hide.
When journalists are killed, itās not just lives that are lost itās evidence. Itās memory. Itās the last barrier between reality and denial.

Donations for GAZA
This donation campaign is for ANAS family. Not for strangers, not for a cause Iām distant from but for the people who raised me, the people I love, the people Iām terrified of losing.
They are in Gaza, trying to survive something no human being should ever have to endure. Constant bombardment, displacement, hunger, fear, and the feeling that tomorrow is never guaranteed. Every day is about staying alive one more night.
If you choose to help, you are not donating to an abstract crisis. You are helping real people with names, memories, and lives that matter to me more than anything.
š This is a verified Chuffed campaign to support family:
