Ye knowe eek, that in forme of speche is chaunge With-inne a thousand yeer, and wordes tho That hadden prys, now wonder nyce and straunge Us thinketh hem; and yet they spake hem so, And spedde as wel in love as men now do.

chaucer, Troilus and Criseyde c. 1380

glossary: eek also and even tho at the time prys great value wonder a cause for astonishment nyce stupid spedde succeeded

You know the form of language, too, can change. Within a thousand years, even the words that were most precious then, seem strange and foolish to us; yet they spoke them so and did no worse in love than we now do.

It’s not even that people think Louis is a liar that’s a problem. We know Louis lied about certain things.

It’s the fact that they think he’s a malicious liar. That they are so eager to call him a liar. It’s the glee with which they say it. The entire two seasons were nothing by fanfiction.

Or it’s how excited they are to degrade Armand or flatten his character or insult him. Or to insist that every lie Louis told was implanted by him and Louis is utterly helpless and by extension, less complex. Or he’s lying about being abused as a child, or about Lestat ever being attracted to him.

Or how badly they want Claudia to have made up everything bad she said about Lestat. They were so quick to assume she made everything about the train up because Lestat said she did.

It’s this desire to strip away all the complexities of the POC characters to pretend Lestat is just inherently more interesting than they are. It’s the completely different set of standards they are held to compared to him. The willingness to believe him over them. The completely different vocabulary used to analyse them. He gets grace. They do not.

A lot of the time it’s not what you’re saying but how you’re saying it and the fact that you’re only saying it about certain people. That’s what makes it racist.

I dont come on here much anymore but it is kinda sickening that we go on and on about fandom misogyny and fandom racism and theres still always some motherfucker coming out of the woodwork to be like "Look at these ao3 tags!!! Isn't it so wackyyy!!🤪" and then you look at the tags and its just minor white male characters being shipped together

[disnerd126]

The current state of AO3 relationship tags for the “Project Hail Mary” tag is fucking crazy.

The top option is a platonic relationship.

The second option is a gay crossover ship.

The fifth option is a ship between two alien monogendered rocks that’s mentioned in passing with a character we never meet.

The sixth option is also a crossover situation, but it’s not a ship and instead a twin brother AU.

Said sixth option is ABOVE an actual canonical relationship (and its romantic interpretation).

The tenth option is a ship THATS FROM A WHOLE ASS DIFFERENT MOVIE!!!

[nerdsagainstfandomracism]

The craziest part is how Carl, the one Black guy in the movie and the one character aside from Rocky and Stratt to have a canon friendship with Ryland, isn't even on the bottom of this list. Not even as a platonic friendship. And they canonically made babies together!

[noirineverysense]

rtd unsurprisingly fucking over dr who before he leaves, didnt even have a proper script planned just threw a rose tyler shaped grenade and left. Now whoever picks the show up next has to deal with his obsession for his glory days and write some convoluted plot with his old storylines/characters instead of being able to focus on writing something new

job market so depressing it made me atheist ✌️

[noirineverysense]

project hail mary is a film that despite having a white american main character doesnt become painfully american/Caucasian. When they are discussing the world's efforts to stop aliens from eating the sun the response is clearly international taking different countries into perspective it feels real how they've placed diversity instead of e.g., the token black side character, the Asian stereotype

My entire feed is 20% damn there was a shooting at the White House and 80% CHEATED??? ON MEGAN THEE STALLION????

[parkchanwoohoo]

Megan Thee Stallion listen to me. You have to cheat back. I'm free any time for you. Please

[ace-aussie-asshole]

Megan Thee Stallion was dating someone?? Man I'm out of the loop on celebrity relationships. This post does make it seem like it was either Trump or the shooter who cheated on her though.

[annoyedbreadstick]

I didn't even know who Megan Thee Stallion is before this post
