I'm very glad I gave Rings of Power another chance, I do love my villains and seeing Sauron, all blonde, manipulative, and pretty I knew it was only a matter of time before I re-started the series

I finally caved and tried it (thank you @stardustandtwilight for talking me into it ❤️) and yeah yeah the timeline is in shambles or whatever but this cast is SUCH a delight, I'm having a wonderful time

wait wtf? I briefly saw on Twitter that Rhys Darby was trending but didn't look into it

yeah, a 15 year old fan jumped in on the current meme of making Spirit Halloween photoshops of our fave “gay loser” costumes. 

a full grown woman @’d Rhys’ wife, who is active on twitter and with the fandom. 

and this person, seemed to get it was a joke, but his wife took it quite serious. seemingly, not understanding it was photoshopped and took the joke of “gay loser” very negatively. 

She then contacted her husband’s team, and says they may contact Spirit Halloween (after being told it was photoshopped) and she called the joke “mean spirited” and has tried to go to this person’s twitter directly and has called so much attention to this person now that they’ve blocked her and she made a pissy post about being blocked by them, as if that was somehow shocking at this point. 

A great example of having to be so careful of how you engage in fandom and not getting comfortable at all with the people “Involved” with creation of the entertainment. they are two separate worlds and also the generation gap and also sexuality “gap” becomes very apparent in the joke and misunderstanding of it. a straight white woman not understanding that this might actually be a joke made by gay people for gay people about a gay character.

We're all just bourgeois degenerates enjoying fictional bad relationships! hahahaha tumblr purity politics at it's best? worse?

that feeling when reading a book with conflict and morally grey or even evil characters makes you somehow a rich bitch lmfao

the show does that, I made a blog to post org content because this one got shadow banned in the tags, and that blog became 99% The Untamed blog!

i was literally telling @tonyglowheart “nope I’m not gonna get sucked in” and then one night over the holidays i was bored and had mcdonalds and sake and decided “ok fine I’m gonna give a couple episodes a shot” and then. immediately became wangxian trash so yeah it really does do that

Obi Wan is indeed such a horrible person making the world suffer by looking at his ridiculously beautiful face. It's cruel.

And it’s even WORSE when Anakin does it, like half of the shit he gets away with is because nobody can stop looking at that beautiful face and finding him charming even though he’s a total mess of an absolute GARBAGE BAG, and then they team up and it’s like Why Is Team Handsome Attacking Me!?OBI-WAN, PUT A BAG OVER YOUR HEAD, I CAN’T STAND THE HANDSOME.ANAKIN, JUST ZIP-TIE YOUR ROBE CLOSED OVER YOUR FACE, IT’S THE ONLY WAY.Those two, I swear!  They really are the most horrible people.

They also didn’t know how to paint babies. I saw an amazing post that just showed Medieval- Early Renaissance art of babies and it was hilariousl my bad

this is something i actually have an answer for!!!

Most if not all western medieval baby depictions were influenced by the religious belief of the homuncular Jesus - as in that Jesus was born perfect and fully formed like a little adult man, so the convention stuck. Additionally, medieval society generally didn’t view children as innocent, and thus were not concerned with the depiction of children and babies as generally “cute.” The notion that children were inherently sinless took hold during the Renaissance and then we got all sorts of rosy-cheeked cherubs.

i do have to show you my favorite ugly medieval baby tho 

behold... St. Nicholas the baby breadstick refusing his mother’s milk. a true masterpiece. courtesy of @uglyrenaissancebabies

The problem is they take villains SO seriously and then there is Taika

most directors who work for Marvel when they create villains: DOOM GLOOM THESE CHARACTERS ARE SO SERIOUS

Taika Waititi’s villains: u mb wanna fuq?

✨Whimsical: Favorite fairytale?

The Tinderbox [violence warning]. I’ve only come across it in one (hard copy) collection of fairy tales. My Nan gave me the book when I was 5 or so and The Tinderbox was just so creepy it kinda stuck with me over the years haha.
