a little bit harmful for me

Okay look. Stephanie Meyer contributed four (4) cool things to the contemporary fantasy genre, which I shall now list here in the hopes of getting it out of my system. In descending order of importance:

1. Writing a story about a girl who wants something. Plot driven by a woman’s (non-vilified) desire. Truly dreadful execution but still a good idea, sort of a literary incarnation of the “he a little confused but he got the spirit” meme.

2. The fact that when Bella becomes a vampire she can still breathe but “there’s no relief tied to the action” which I remember verbatim because it fucking slapped. The idea of human physical sensations being partially defined by our mortality and the sensations still exist after you become undead but your experience of them is fundamentally different because you no longer need any of it? Extremely cool. The closest Meyer came to taking an interesting stance on vampires being dead.

3. Werewolves are immortal but they can literally stop whenever they want. That shit’s hilarious. Curse of immortality who.

4. The fact that vampires don’t sleep or get tired so their communally-raised baby doesn’t have a crib because she is always in someone’s arms. That was extremely cute and there’s a different, better book contained somewhere in that specific concept.

5. Depression being represented by like 6 blank chapters titled with months.

6. She was the first person to openly encourage people to write fanfiction and not sue fanfiction writers when that was the norm.

The problem with movies that do the “30 second gay cameo” thing isn’t the actual scenes themselves, but rather the media coverage and PR that treats it like it’s some grand progressive gesture.

“There is an unnamed gay character in Endgame.” Cool okay. “This is a HUGE leap in LGBT rights” eeehhh nah.

“Marvel announces new gay character in Avengers Endgame that can be easily cut out of the movie for Chinese distribution”

ATLA: Zuko and his dual swords

[royaltealovingkookiness]

I love watching how effortless it is for Zuko to wield the dual swords - he looks so balanced when he’s using them.

None of that emotional crap he has towards firebending - he’s calm, confident and composed. It’s like a whole another person.

[emletish-fish]

I always felt like dual swords was something that was just his. No one else in his family uses weapons. Zuko pursued mastery in private, was allowed to develop his skills normally, with a patient teacher in piandao and no heavy trauma associated with swords.

He is like a different person using them.
