harold, they're shapeshifters

Unironically one of the funniest bits in ZZA for me is in ep 13 at the start of the (very brief) divorce period when Zhan Zhao goes to look for Bai Yutang, deliberately does not dodge the sword strike and asks, "Have you had enough?" His tone always cracks me up, it's like he's talking to a toddler throwing a temper tantrum.

i recently found out what the * * * that sometimes separates parts of a text is called and youre never gonna fucking believe it

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

I've spent a ridiculous amount of time on Project Gutenberg sifting through forgotten old fiction and lemme tell ya. a lot of that stuff sucks ass.

Tremendously comforting, really.

please write your erotica with care i cant get off without several hundred words of sociological analysis

my god you people are so boring this isnt about making characters talk about their trauma this is about UNEXAMINED GENDER POLITICS in CROSSDRESSING PORN. for the characters themselves sex should be - and write this down - physically and/or psychologically damaging to all those participating. jesus christ.

theres an assumption that if an alien has an alien gender system they wouldnt understand homophobia but maybe they just have their own more complex version of homophobia. alien society with eight genders and a horribly complex web of what is considered socially acceptable that makes the gender binary look like easy mode. i'm inventing homophobia 2 and it's terrible.

I regularly use "well ain't this place a geographical oddity, two weeks from everywhere!" when facing literally any kind of delay

yes good

You absolute queen, my family LOVES this movie and NOBODY else I’ve met knows about it! Literally last week I went on a ten minute monologue to convince my kids’ piano teacher to go watch it. Anytime we have to leave with expedience we tell each other it’s time to r-u-n-n-o-f-t. When we see cows on the road we are compelled to announce to each other “oh George, not the livestock”. I have sung pretty much every song off the album as a lullaby for my children. It is one of the defining movies of my childhood. That and The Three Amigos. Literally such a gem of a movie I could gush FOREVER

My field crew watched this in our rental cottage one evening during a long and boggy field survey. Fo the next week of deep woods transect lines, every time one of us plunged into a bit of swamp, we’d get on our walkie-talkies and tell the others, “All my sins is warsh’d away!!”

My husband has often described his manic states as "Looks like George is back on top again" or "I'm George Nelson and I'm feeling ten feet tall!"
