"this book has this trope", "this book has that trope"... what happened to SUMMARIES. what's the PLOT.

[homunculus-argument]

The thing is, those Manic Pixie Dream Girl movies aren't unrealistic because that kind of thing never happens in real life. They're unrealistic because they never show the epilogue five years later, where the Sadboy Protagonist is posting on reddit going "help, my girlfriend has cool unique hobbies and it's embarrassing me."

I don't know how this comes as a shock to some people, but if you're dating a girl with a bug collection, you're going to be dating a girl who proudly shows dead bugs to your mom.

Unless you were a tech at NASA back in the day, when one time some hydrogen a) escaped in a particular building, and b) caught on fire. This was extremely difficult because hydrogen does NOT burn on the visible spectrum humans evolved to see (and flee). Rather, it technically does, but it’s so pale that in practice, no one could see it. Additionally, pure hydrogen burns without smoke and with so little ambient heat that you can’t really sense it till you walk into it. So, per the lore, for a few days all the techs in that building just walked around brandishing brooms in front of them like lances. If your broom lit on fire, congrats! You have located more burning hydrogen! Do not proceed!

What if—Loki were a Tolkien Elf? 👀

Watching Rings of Power every week has given me so many Tolkien feels that I just had to design Loki as an Elf! It was fun to kind of merge his Asgardian look with a more organic, art nouveau kind of outfit, but I think it reads well as both Loki and Elven! And since spears are fairly prominent in Tolkien’s writings, and we know Loki can work Gungnir, it felt suitable to give him one here too 👌

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005) + letterboxd reviews 

(insp.)

[mylittleredgirl]

i love how there's the genre of fix-it fic where the author goes into great granular detail of how our heroes manage to avoid or undo whatever character death or other unpopular choice occurred, in a way that abides by the laws of the fictional universe and definitely required a substantial plot outline, and then there are fix-it fics where the author just went "that's bullshit and didn't happen," and we as readers all go "agreed. carry on."

[witchesversuspatriarchy]

A true story…

Don’t tell me this has never happened to you 😁

posting on a blackboard discussion board and replying to two of your fellow students has to be one of the nine circles of hell

[helloitsbees]

Great point, Dylan! I especially agree with it being “one of the nine circles of hell”. Well said.

[feenyxblue]

If I could offer a bit of criticism to your post Dylan, I would say that this phenomenon is not limited to blackboard, but also extends to other education websites, such as Canvas. Overall though, I agree with your point.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I agree with what other people have said above. I have noticed your reference to Dante's Inferno. Very good use of earlier texts in the course.
