The Sundered and Broken House of that C Alistra

"we cut the nobody scene from the odyssey" "we cut the religious trauma and parental abuse from carrie" i'm starting to think that studios barely funding original films is starting to have an effect where directors make up a story and then slap an IP on it in order to sell. or maybe some bitches just can't read anymore idk it's one or the other

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

everyone say thank you to that one anne hathaway twelfth night promo image for all it's done for fandom

as a child i assumed that martha’s vineyard was a fancy private vineyard owned by martha stewart and the reason rich people vacationed there was because they were friends with martha

My good folks? Please stop reblogging this with incitements to violence. If you do, I will assume you are a terf fedposting, and report and block you as such.

In the vein of that comment about how Liam's characters would all be attracted to one another, for Luis's characters it's like. I think that Zerxus and Azune WOULD get along but it would be a MESS because immediately Azune would catch the vibes transmitted via Zerxus's inspiring leader feat and be like ah. someone who can give me Tasks and Jobs and someone who is worthy of my service. A chance to redeem myself for my failings and the others who have died to bring me here and also a daddy father figure to hold me to account. And meanwhile Zerxus would see this sad-eyed young man, who appears older than his years, and would instantly place him into his personal vortex of ginger-haired men in need of his protection and saving, somewhere between a proxy for his son and a proxy for his husband. If Zerxus ever confided the whole Asmodeus situation, Azune would NOT know what to say (he would make the autism creature face about it) but he would kind of get it. It would all be Complicated and Undefinable but Loving. Also ruinously codependent obviously. Paladin auras may not stack but something about these two's vibes definitely would. If they get within ten feet of each other a lethal emotional Event occurs. Do you understand my visions

[ID: a gifset of luis carazo and brennan lee mulligan in the last episode of calamity, portraying zerxus and evandrin. zerxus says, “what have i done?” evandrin shrugs and responds, “you believed. and that is not a fault. i love you more than the stars and the moon and life itself.” END ID]

they're a problematic character TO YOU. they're problematic to me as well but I'm being weird and horny about it so it's different
