Watching any movie before 2000 reminds you that people in movies used to be hot but like in a normal way

“It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing” - literally describes all of Tolkien’s works. The Silmarils, the Arkenstone, and the One Ring. People in Middle Earth need to see the bigger picture and stop focusing on small and shiny things.

Turns out having a newfound half-brother comes with unsolicited opinions about your uneventful love life this started as just an exercise and turned into a ten days hell for some reason lmaooooo As a big fan of the campfire scene with Roran and Eragon at the beginning of brisingr, I wanted to give my own personal rendition of an hypothetical equivalent scene but with Murtagh.....please god let him and saphira fight 24/7 because it would be so fucking funny

the thing with “how to make omegaverse interesting” is that you just sort of end up writing the left hand of darkness again

i think leguin made a lot of really specific choices in her world building, and I don't think everyone should make those choices, but I DO think that they should be thinking about the things she was thinking about when she made them

While I sort of get the impulse, it does always get my back up when people talk about something like Animorphs with this attitude of 'omgggg remember these books, how on EARTH were we allowed to read these books, they're so grim and dark and violent and tragic, no adults could possibly have known what they actually contained or they'd have been banned.'

And like. Allowing for the fact that there absolutely are adults who think every distressing topic ever should be banned from children's literature - they're children's books. You were allowed to read them when you were a kid because they were written for kids. Bridge to Terabithia is also a children's book. So is Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller and Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry and The Giver and loads of other books that deal with heavy, difficult topics. It is appropriate and good for children to have books about these things that are tailored to their reading levels and it genuinely really bugs me when people act like they're somehow not really for kids because bad things happen in them or they end tragically.

wedding dresses are white specifically so that if the bride goes axe-crazy you can rest assured you will see the blood stains all over her and it'll be sick as fuck

i think it's really fun when a rly specific trope is super popular in one particular medium but in other ones it's just totally unheard of. it's the time knife. visual novel players are suuuuper used to death games but many others encountered them for the first time in squid games. the other day my mom showed me all excited the summary of a super original novel she found and it was about a girl who got reincarnated as the main character in her favorite fantasy book
