Can I interest you in everything, all of the time?

Miri ♥ old enough to have seen some shit ♥ she/her/hers ♥ aroace. English. Teacher. Degree in over-analysing fiction. Emotions over characters a lot. Currently living in Japan. I have a queue running from about 3-12pm GMT, so if you see me posting around then you can probably assume it's that. This is a multifandom blog, whose main focus depends heavily on what my dash is reblogging today and/or what shows are currently airing. A complete list of fandoms you'll find on here would take forever, so just rest assured that I always tag stuff with the fandom for your TS needs. (Also included on this blog are random nonfandom things that make me feel things or I think look cool, and a fair bit of posting about social justice issues.) I'm something of a multishipper. Even if I don't ship it, my policy is ship and let ship, so I won't judge you for yours if you don't judge me for mine.

the new goal of online fandoms seems to be getting the creator to stop loving their work

Years ago I saw a Lord of the Rings display at Barnes and Noble that included a Hallmark-style greeting card with Frodo on the front and inside text that read: “We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved. But not for me.”

And I have been thinking about that card ever since, desperately wishing I had bought it, and wondering what the fuck kind of occasion would warrant a card featuring that sentiment.

[queerfarmgremlin]

weirdly enough, i have actually been the recipient of that exact card. it was a birthday card from someone who knew i loved lotr but didn’t really know much about the actual movie, but i feel like she should’ve been clued into the ‘wtf’ vibe from the incredibly agonized face frodo is making on the front of the card. 

[glumshoe]

If you still have that card… I would do anything to see a photo of it. You can cover up the personalized message, but I really, really, really want to see proof that this card existed and was not the product of my overactive imagination.

[queerfarmgremlin]

@glumshoe I FOUND IT!!

I’d forgotten just how close to death Frodo looks on the front, not to mention Sam’s agonized face and the very odd stylistic choice of including the Ring instruction and the Eye of Sauron in the background. who the hell is the target audience for this?

[glumshoe]

Fuck!!!! It’s so much better than I remembered!

pretty sure I did the chrome//flags thing a while ago, but also i switched to firefox, which is not without the occasional bullshit, but is vastly less bullshitty than chrome. This is why I treat genai "features" like the invasive blackberry bushes they are: cut, root, burn, and vigilantly watch for new shoots to uproot. I'm 54 years old and the world got by fine without genai for most of my lifetime.

A 15-year-old boy is about to base his entire personality on the last movie you watched for the next 10 years. HOW BAD IS IT?

He is going to get himself killed. Badly.

He is going to (try to) kill himself

The most obnoxious person in the world has just been born

FURRY (derogatory)

FURRY (normal)

Not much has changed? But now he's stuck like this for 10 years? Yikes.

It's cringe but it could have been a lot worse

At least he'll have fun at Comic Con

If anything this is a slight improvement.

He's not a boy anymore. He's a man now.

She's not a boy anymore. She's a girl now.

FINALLY, a son I can be proud of!

"I hate how American media will just make up a European nation rather than do any research, so I'm going to get back at them by writing a story set in a fake American state" like, do you have the slightest idea how much American media is set in a geographically impossible fictional small town located in no particular state and characterised entirely by some guy from Los Angeles' collection of half-remembered stereotypes about the American Midwest? They've already got the "lazily inventing fictional parts of America" bit locked down.

No, if you want to play the Uno reverse card on American media, what you need to do isn't to make up a fake state: you specifically need to wilfully misrepresent southern California.

this is even funnier when you know that “paris green” is a specific green pigment that contains arsenic (very distinctive shade of pale-ish green, common house paint color before yknow. all that research on how arsenic kills you). little birdies crop dusting the marsh with powdered arsenic<3

too beautiful/smart/skilled/strong/perfect/etc

blatantly evil in some way

was mean to someone once

the unforgivable crime of just being kind of annoying

“in the way” of a popular ship

age gap relationship (2-10 years)

age gap relationship (10-30 years)

age gap relationship (30+ years)

a stereotype/“bad representation”

female

A YA romantasy writer filed suit against another writer for copyright infringement, and as is always the case with these things, she padded her claims with delusionally spurious examples. The judge issued a 160-page ruling against the plaintiff where you can tell from the start how resentful they (or whatever clerk actually did the work) are to have been forced by duty to have read the works in question.
