“But Tilion was wayward and uncertain in speed, and held not to his appointed path; and he sought to come near to Arien, being drawn by her splendour, though the flame of Anar scorched him, and the Island of the Moon was darkened.” - The Silmarillion, Chapter 11, “Of the Sun and Moon”, J.R.R. Tolkien. Or, the tale of how the Lady of Light, the Wise and the Ring-Maker were lost, and two were found and born anew, while the other stayed bound in darkness.

So uh are we doing this again?

(Top picture is filthybonnet's reddit account)

Like we're really going to say that a black woman only got a part because of connections, not merit? We're going to insinuate that combating ageism is somehow worse and more important than racism? We're going to villainize a black woman for taking other roles while upholding a white woman who very much also took other roles? But then again, what would you expect from someone whose likes are filled with explicit terf posts while she pinky swears up and down she's not. Honestly fuck offfffffff with this shit.

#“a black woman got a part because of connections and not merit” LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO #clearly someone wasn't around back in 2011-2015 when sierra was one of alw's darlings #do i think there's a tendency in the last few years to cast younger women as christine? yes #if sierra was cast yet again as christine for yet another milestone it would very much be a connections thing lmao #we're talking about the same performer who got the 25th anniversary BECAUSE she was in lnd and alw liked her #even though her previous stint in the original went all the way back to the las vegas production in 2006 #if this was about merit or time spent in the london production you'd have gina beck in the 25th anniversary #she also got the 25th anniversary on broadway and the 2014 run for a reason lmao #and she got to be principal christine in the paris production for a reason #if you want to make a point about connections using SIERRA BOGGESS as the wronged party of all people is ridiculous #also bea!christine >>>>> sierra!christine hope that helps!#phantom of the opera #tw: racism

... yeah full offense but Ned Stark beheaded a guy for less than everything Otto Hightower did lmao

#hotd spoilers #hotd critical #i can't with this show lmao

#screaming crying throwing up #phantom of the opera #phantom west end #and with beatrice rhys and sierra THIS IS GONNA BE SO GOATED

There's only one thing I'm gonna say about Keeping Up With The Targaryens, and that is that I deeply, deeply do not care about a show that's trying to make me doubt that a flawed woman is a better option than an actual rapist, especially considering who's POTUS right now.

#hotd critical #tw: sexual assault #i understand the cast members are given talking points to promote the show #i also think less of some of them tbh

500 years from now there’s gonna be some film historian who’s entire career is built off of searching for a copy of goncharov

There's an awful trend in reading that's this CinemaSins kind of rejection of abstract concepts and suspension of disbelief, that makes people say it's bad writing when authors use descriptions that aren't immediately one to one with physical reality.

Like it's bad when a "tattoo is undulating" (as opposed to... "drawn in a wave like pattern on the skin"?), or when hair is "wet wheat from a late Summer field" (as opposed to "sort of brownish light yellow that dries lighter, but is not actual wheat stalks growing on someone's head but kind of reminiscent of the color and texture"?), or when when ice cream tastes like midnight at the fair" (as opposed to "ice cream flavour bringing back memories of undefined ice cream flavours that are individually popular but always tied to a memory of late evening at the fair ground and probably smelling vaguely like popcorn and sugar"?).

Please. We have to get back to understanding abstract descriptions that evoke feelings and memories and mental images or things we haven't experienced yet. This hyper utilitarian way of reading and judging text is killing fiction. it's robbing you of experiencing things you haven't actually personally experienced.
