starless eyes, for heavens sake

so you're telling me the fifa world cup is all men? its all men's teams? and so is the superbowl? and all the sports teams that states are known for and make copious amounts of merch for are also men's teams? and only 5 women have ever entered formula one since its inception in 1950 and only two of them were able to compete? and this is normal? its acceptable?

i grew up playing backyard soccer on the pc as a child in the early 2000s where boys and girls would play on the same team and against each other and you're telling me that's still an unrealistic fantasy that can't happen in real life?

Whatever else one can say about Tolkien, deciding to resolve accidentally using the same elf name twice by going "actually, it's the same guy; yeah, he just walked back to Middle-Earth from the afterlife – in fact, all elves can technically do that, but he's the only one who did" was kind of a move.

it is impossible to watch a movie. every night i think i want to watch a movie. no movie gets watched. because it's not possible

and yet they keep making movies with the hopes that one day humanity will discover a way to watch them. it's so inspiring

like pt 2 is interesting if we’re considering margaret to be the complex human being she is... thats why the marglesbian fans (like me) can get something out of it bc w the gay goggles on its FASCINATING the way she reinforces her own cycle of men who wont/cant commit to her and this thing of wanting to be loved and be emotionally vulnerable while simultaneously trying to be a perfect version of a perfect woman/wife/soldier and trying to mold hawkeye in that same image (even tho weve spent an entire episode previous to this showing over and over that hes not going to) and doing this very performative over the top feminine affection thing like its something she 'should' be doing to show how she 'should' be feeling rather than more realistically what she WANTS to do based on how she REALLY feels. she tells us 'i can adjust to anything'. but any viewers going into it thinking margaret is just an annoying shrill clingy woman can dismiss it as being an annoying shrill clingy margaret episode if they want. maybe thats where it fails, like its making margaret do too much so it can easily tip over into that one dimensional territory. losing her composure in the OR, screeching at hawk when they could be in danger of being caught, 'ill have you in tow soon'... like.... would margaret really do that? the margaret we know?? its like a flattening of her character in service of expanding it, kind of... maybe....

wait.i have an idea.lets crush me with a rock

My best friend started reading tgcf and has been texting me updates, so far her favorite character is Fu Yao, and her least favorite is Mu Qing.
