Keeping Up with the Ravkans | Incorrect Grishaverse (Part 1 | Part 2)
BONUS:
ARCHIVE YOUR FIC ON AO3 FOR ETERNAL GLORY
It physically pains me to see people post awesome fanfiction to tumblr and nowhere else. Tumblr moves so fast! By tomorrow people who didnโt look in a tag at the right moment wonโt know it existed. By next week even people who did read it wonโt be able to find it back to reread. Finding anything on tumblr via search function is practically a fluke. For all intents and purposes, your hard work has a halflife of about a week at most.
PUT YOUR WORK ON AO3 WHERE IT CAN LIVE ETERNALLY, I BEG YOU
People who come into that fandom in a month, a year, even a decade will be able to find your work!
People can bookmark it!
People can rec it to others!
People can reread it into infinity! (and people like me can do that and comment every time!)
You can get comments & kudos until the endtimes because people will keep finding your work! (seriously I still sometimes get new people finding and loving my work from ~2013)
And best of all, people can SUBSCRIBE to your work so they will get email about new chapters and stories! (Iโm seeing people do manual โTag you in the next chapterโ lists and seriously, physical pain, this wheel has already been invented and it is rolling beautifully)
PLEASE LET ME BOOKMARK YOUR FIC I BEG YOU
โBut I need an invite for AO3!โ
Yes, and the waiting list is currently 2-3 days. Thatโs hardly worth not doing this for, right?
โBut I only read fic, I donโt post itโ
here is a post on why having an account just to read fic is also very worth it!
Lately Iโve been the tumblr person who jumps onto people who post cool fic to tumblr and going HEY HAVE YOU POSTED THIS TO AO3, YOU REALLY SHOULD, HIT ME UP FOR AN INVITE CODE and I hereby invite all you fellow fic readers and posters to join me into spreading the good word.
Please reblog this and tag your favourite fandoms and pairings! Spread this post to the people who need to see it! Save great fic from the tumblr void!

Ben Barnes addressing the Sirius Black thing again (thank you, RottenTomatoes lady ๐). The way he says "I saw it" like he's questioning his reality by this point.
Transcript:
RN:... Yeah and there's a lot of energy coming between y'all and I'm not just talking about the magic. I'll just leave it at that.
BB: Oy, oy...
RN: This is actually one that came up a lot and I hate to do it but you started taking about Harry Potter, so this is actually two questions that are in there a TON
BB: Okay.
RN: What is your HP house but then another one is who's your favourite character?
BB: Oh okay.
RN: And I have a feeling if you don't say Sirius Black, the comment sections will burn.
BB: Yeah I do see a lot of this stuff about Sirius Black and people always say 'Do you know you're Sirius Black'? And I-- Gary Oldman is Sirius Black.
RN: [laughs] Yeah like I saw it!
BB: I saw it! So I don't quite understand. I think they're talking about a sort of like prequel thing and I'm like, [laughs] you all know I'm almost 40, right? I mean....
โThis must have been directed by a manโ: a little reminder (more for the comments thread than for the video itself) re.ย Ammonite:ย (1) Francis Lee is a gay man. (2) Kate Winslet & Saoirse Ronan intimacy-directed their own intimate scenes. FL specifically stepped back so that the two women had charge of how the sex was done.ย
(In the thread, itโs funny how Tumblr is capable of treating a SNL spoof as an authoritative commentary on lesbian representation, while โrefusing to watchโ a female-centred lesbian film directed by a gay man. *weary sigh*)
The above points are true, but as someone who caught Ammonite in the cinema last year, was absolutely lukewarm about it and then watched Portrait two weeks later and loved it, I think the skit is pretty close to the mark here. I was looking forward to Ammonite after loving the sublime Godโs Own Country and it obviously being about Mary Anning, and despite being billed as a romance I was hoping there would be some geology/palaeontology included. I was pretty disappointed. There was very little palaeontology, the romance left me absolutely cold and despite very good performances individually Kate and Saoirse just didnโt seem to work together. Personally I found the main sex scene way too graphic and it felt โmale-gazeyโ despite being directed by the stars themselves. By the end I didnโt want them to stay together, and in the last scene I was hoping that Mary would stick to her guns and refuse to stay with Charlotte.
By contrast I was glued to the screen throughout Portrait. I felt it was sublime, I was a lot more comfortable with the graphicness of the sex scene (more sensual than explicit), and you really got a sense of doomed relationship hurtling towards its conclusion. Also there was a lot more painting as a proportion of the run time compared to the amount of geology in Ammonite. The last scene had me in tears, though I think the gorgeousness of Vivaldi in surround sound also helped there. Finishing watching Portrait I felt that it was the sort of film I had been expecting watching Ammonite, which retroactively explained why I felt disappointed earlier.
@fiwen9430 I encountered Portrait of a Lady on Fire first, followed by Ammonite some time later. I thoroughly agree with your review of the former, and the weaknesses you perceived in Ammonite by comparison are highly valid.ย
Portrait of a Lady on Fireย is, as you say, a sublime achievement, as Iโm now primed to expect from almost anything Cรฉline Sciamma does: she is an absolute artist. PoaLoF doesnโt put a foot wrong, and the place of painting, the female artist and the female gaze are both integral and so well-developed โ more so than Francis Lee achieves with geology/palaeontology in Ammonite. I wonder about the challenges of showing palaeontology โin actionโ cinematically (especially for a director outside that field!). But your comparison also reminds me, sadly, of how often contemporary French filmmakers demonstrate greater finesse than their British counterparts.ย
Perhaps in keeping with this,ย Ammoniteย felt to me like an oddly under-resourced, or on some level under-developed, film. I found the main sex scenes startling less because they were graphic than because Maryโs/Kateโs forceful expertise seemed surprising (even if we allow for the Fiona Shaw backstory, which I wanted to know more about than we were given). At first viewing, Ammonite didnโt match my expectations (or live up to Godโs Own Country) โ but I was intrigued by some of the ways in which it didnโt, and my reaction was that perhaps my expectations had been wrong. Iโd like to give it a second chance.
EDIT: Wait, why is Carey Mulligan in the SNL skit? Hmmm. I look forward to SNL doing a skit on The Digโฆ
So it wasnโt just me. I have been putting off reviewing it until I rewatch it. I think my expectations might have been too high because of Godโs Own Country.

Downton Abbey au where everyone is just a little bit cooler with Barrow - the vibe is like, yes heโs an awful bastard man who we hate and heโs gay but those things arenโt connected, come on, no oneโs going to be a narc - and one night over dinner Anna is like, hey Thomas, you met anyone new recently.
Thomas says no.
Andy says, well, you donโt look awful.
Thomas says thanks for the vote of confidence.
Mrs Hughes says sheโs heard things about the lad who works at the dairy the next village over and she can put a word in with the milkman if heโd like.
Thomas says heโs just fine, no, really heโs fine and heโs, uh, well heโs spoken for anyway.
Which throws the whole downstairs into disarray because who, when, with what candlestick. It is about this time that Thomas gets a little bit flapped and coughs into his sleeve and says, well, if you must know his name is, uh. Dick. At which point everyone just lets it slide because Thomas is clearly making this supposed sweetheart up because heโs embarrassed, come on, he floundered for the name of man and came up with Dick. Hilarious.
This is how Barrow invents his own mysterious boyfriend who lives in Canada.
Now cue Thomas desperately trying to avoid pity and being set up by turns but insisting that, no, really, he lives in London, heโs very handsome and very tall, we write letters every day, he was going to come up last week but he got the flu, he doesnโt get a lot of time off work either, oh, what does he do? He, oh he works for the, uh, King, he - Daisy, I mean it, Iโm not making this up.
Anyway the punchline is that one day a gorgeous man knocks at the servants entrance and introduces himself as Thomasโs boyfriend from London, terribly sorry its taken so long to meet you all, and Andy has to physically walk over and poke him before anyone is willing to believe this isnโt all some elaborate hoax.
AHHAHAHAHAHA ANDY POKING HAPPENED
