Im (re)watching Heated Rivalry with my boyfriend. We were watch episode two last night and when he saw Shane in his fluffy fleece at the Olympics he said:
"Oh, he's Canadian?? But he plays for an American team?"
And that's how I know he hasn't actually been paying attention. To any of it. Any time now he’s going to notice Shane and Ilya kissing and be very confused.

As a lover of Fibercrafts and Fantasy I love books where the heroine does Traditionally Feminine handicrafts crafts and the author dosn’t fall for the misogynistic trap of thinking someone can't wield a sewing needle and a sword equally well.
However, as someone who loves fibercrafts and collects them like other people collect hardback books I am also cursed with Too Much Knowledge to enjoy depictions of crafts in books because it's allways wrong.
Victor Frankenstein and the Creature having "that talk"
Happy holidays! I have some Emily and Wendell drawings to share to spread winter joy and holiday cheer!
The first is a redraw of The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, I really like this painting and I immediately thought of Wendell and Emily after reading the third book (if you know you know)
The second was my attempt at doing the Apple core trend I’ve seen floating around the internet; I’m not 100% satisfied with it because profiles are hard!
The third are some memes I thought would be fun to put Emily and Wendell in
And then we have little kitten Orga, hiding out in one of Wendell’s shoes. It’s never explained how he ended up with her, so I like to think that the cat distribution system is alive and well even in Fairyland (where the trees have eyes) and Orga followed him home one day, as if to say “you have a cat now”. And how could a tiny Wendell say no to her cute face? So he hid her in his closet and it wasn’t until a few months passed by before anyone knew he had let the Beast of the Elderwood into the castle.
I just read the dumbest opinion piece about Frankenstein which said it didn't work because the creature is attractive.
Firstly I reject the argument that beauty and monstrosity are mutually exclusive but furthermore I think this man's (miss)reading of the story encapsulates the essence of why a "male loneliness epidemic" exists.
He said the creature had no reason to ask Victor Frankenstein to make him a companion because Elizabeth was not afraid of him. He described the creature as 'involuntarily celibate' and suggested he just 'ask Elizabeth out for drinks'. In doing so he makes two mistakes; firstly he reduces the creature's longing for companionship to lust and secondly interprets Elizabeth's acceptance as sexual interst.
The creature asks for a companion like him. In interpreting this as a request only for a sexual partner it ignors the grief the creature feels at the death of the blind grandfather and his loss of belonging as the family's benefactor. The creature longs not only for acceptance but also freedom from grief. He wants a companion he will not have to watch die and has needs other than sexual from companionship.
I honestly think it's wild to interoperate Elizabeth as open to a sexual relationship with the creature based on their early interaction. She is kind and gentle with him, but her actions seem to me more motherly than anything. It would be deeply predatory and ick for her to be interested in him in any other way at that time, he is mentally like a new born child. An innocent in an adult body. Interpreting the kindness Elizabeth shows as sexual interest reminds me of men interpreting politeness from service workers as flirting. Such an interpretation reduces what women have to offer to the physical.
This interpretation of Frankenstein reduces the needs of the creature (and all men) to the sexual. It denys women satus as full humans with more to offer the world than their bodies.
I argue the creature knew Elizabeth cared for him, and he loved her but he did not seek her out for a reason. He asked Victor to build him a companion because he knew if he pursued a life with Elizabeth that it would end in her death.
The only thing this man wrote which was true was he said the creature's yellow modesty pants made him look like rocky in the Rocky Horror Picture Show and he was right. But I understand why Guillermo didn't want the creature to have his cock out, and also maybe that was an intentional homage?

If you have never taken a bowl of pasta to the kitchen to rinse off home made sauce with boiling water, well you don't have kids
I love Wicked. It's such a testament to the power of transformative works.
Did you know the original Wizard of Oz book was, like, satirical commentary on US economic policy?!
But! Every time the story is retold it's about something new. And now! it's about so much more. It's become a metaphor for xenophobia and a warning against the power of propaganda. It's about race and queerness and the pressure society exerts on you to change yourself, inorder to gain acceptance. It's about the bravery needed to refuse, and how the people who really matter will love you how you are.
The woman who was originally a one-dimensional villan is now the hero of the story. And I just- I think that's beautiful
Had a conversation yesterday with my fam about Wicked. My dad tried to join in but he's not familiar with the musical. He insisted he understood what we were saying.
"I know what it's about." My dad insisted as my SIL and I discussed Gelphie. "I've seen the Wizard of Oz."
No, you don't dad. It's not even a little bit about economics.
The unexpected delight of discovering a friend has also read and enjoyed your latest obsession
joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.
I don't know if this extends to teens reading romance novels but for me it does. Bewildered by people who are upset about 16 yrold girls reading smutty books like all that's going to do is give her high standard and honestly good for her.

Losing something is painful. Sometimes, finding what we've lost is just as agonizing.

Fanart of The Knight And The Moth by Rachel Gillig
This is my fav book I’ve read so far. I love gothic fantasy. The atmosphere in this book is incredible and the characters are so lovable. I need to draw Rory next 🪙⚔️
The agony of finishing a book that has 0 fics on ao3.
So I finally got around to watching the Wicked movie. I enjoyed it, but after the incredibly moving intimacy of the Ozdust scene and the way Elphaba looks at Glinda afterwards... I can not really believe she's interested in Fiyero.
I totally believed on that train platform that Fiyero was in love with Elphaba, but no that she was in love with him.
I don't think this is the fault of the performances either. I put this down to a scripting/directorial failing and a problem with the translation from stage to screen. For me they just don't give us enough between these two to believably build Elphaba's attachment on. We see Fiyero fall for her during the Lion cub scene and struggle with what he feels, but we are supposed to believe Elphaba comes to that moment already in love with him? Based on what? In cinema that throwaway line when she's tossing her hair isn't enough. If they wanted us to believe in Elphaba's feeling for him they needed to give us more.
