I think the portrayal of Snow in SotR is so important like, yes this guy is the most powerful man on the planet, but he's a fucking loser. Like he's still hung up on a situationship from 40 years ago that lasted what, like a month? Despite this, he's still terrifying because of the overwhelming amount of power he has. I just think it says a lot about how fascist presidents have a tendency to be petty, vindictive losers.

Guys I went to a film festival for a screening of 'All of Us Strangers' today and I'm trying not to exaggerate but I truly genuinely think this may be the best movie I have watched in my 25 years of being alive

I cried all the way through. Like I genuinely was on the verge of tears the entire time and every 10 minutes or so something would set me off and I'd be crying again. Andrew Scott deserves an Oscar for his acting. The cinematography is gorgeous without trying to be artsy just for the sake of it. The chemistry between Andrew and Paul is absolutely insane, I've very rarely seen something like it. Their relationship is so beautifully constructed, so intimate, and the movie's take on loneliness and grief and nostalgia is so poignant and unique. It's also a movie that really feels made for queer people, I'm not even sure why but I felt like the movie didn't waste any time trying to spell things out for straight people.

On a lighter note, they also really captured the ultimate queer experience when the two of them had already been flirting back and forth for ages and Harry just went "So...you are queer, right?" like honest to god I felt so seen

#i honestly had to sit with this movie for a couple hours because i really felt like i had to process it #please. go watch it once it hits cinemas. you'll feel every human emotion possible #all of us strangers #debbie rambles

finally caught up on drag race and not since denali have I felt pure white-hot rage like this over an elimination

#i know ppl won't be as enraged abt this bc jax wasn't half as popular as denali #but i am so unbelievably furious about how you can rig something so badly #and literally be like 'how can we eliminate her in a way that will do the most damage to her self esteem and mental health'#like i actually am speechless. jax was my no1 favourite from meet the queens on and quite frankly i care about this season even less now #jax deserved so much better like she's genuinely in my eyes one of the best lip syncers to ever be on the show #can't wait for her to win all stars <3 #rpdr #debbie rambles

I just finished reading “Babel” and I was just wondering whether I was the only one who was left a little bit...dissatisfied by the book? Don’t get me wrong, as a translator myself I deeply enjoyed the book’s treatment of languages, I loved the setting, I thought the worldbuilding was magnificent. I also deeply respect Kuang’s commentary on racism, orientalism, colonialism, and I think she did a fantastic job with it (and as a white person, I don’t have the perspective to comment on it anyway).

What I found a little bit underwhelming and almost unfinished were...the characters themselves? Not only were most of the side characters very one-dimensional good-or-evil, I never even felt like Ramy, Victoire and Letty were fully fleshed out. While I completely get what Kuang wanted to convey with Letty’s character it also felt like she was more of a prop than a full character? What also left me completely baffled was how it seemed like we saw the tiniest hints of a love story between Robin and Ramy (the scene in the park early on in the book, Ramy saying he could never return Letty’s feelings (which I read as much as a reference to sexuality as it was a reference to race) and then that ambiguous comment about “falling in love” right before Robin’s death) and then the book just...entirely forgot about it? Why put the subtext in there at all? Why begin this construct and then completely abandon it? Don’t get me wrong! I love it when books don’t require romance to construct a compelling plot! I don’t even think we would have needed anything to happen between them! But the fact that I was expecting something, anything, to happen throughout the entire book just left me feeling slightly confused.

What everything really boils down to is that I felt like we were TOLD about the relationships between the four more than we were ever SHOWN, and it just really made me feel like the book was lacking heart. There would be time skips of months at a time and we would just read something like “We spent many long evenings in the library together and they became the most important people in the world to me during that time” OKAY, BUT WHY DO WE NEVER SEE ANY OF IT? I wanted to experience them growing closer to each other! I wanted to feel it! I understand that the focus of the book was on the message it was delivering and I completely respect that but if you have four main characters grow into very close friends over the course of the book, you should at least let me FEEL that friendship in some way. This also made the end so much less shocking to me because while Victoire was talking about how she and Letty could never truly become friends and how race was always what separated them, it just felt odd because we didn’t even get to see their group dynamic all that often. We didn’t much get to see them interact as friends.

Anyway, I truly enjoyed the book a lot and will still rate it four stars but I couldn’t help but feel a little bit disappointed after all the hype.
