May (she/ her) | Bi 🏳️🌈 | 22 | Doctor who | marauders (all jkr supporters and terfs kindly fuck off) | girlie in stem | I come on here once in a while and reblog a bunch of stuff about clara
So, I watched Teach You A Lesson yesterday and on the surface level I did enjoy it. I can understand the catharsis in having bullies being beaten up and victims be protected through the ERPB and the actors really did do a good job (all of them are insanely talented). I was cheering our MCs on when they were delivering everything the bullies did back to them.
Buuuut, in order to enjoy the show I had to suspend my discomfort because in absolutely no reality should any government backed institution (or ANY institution or person (be it student teacher parent or whoever)) should be provided full immunity for their actions ever. There's literally no way to hold them accountable for any abuse of power no matter how extreme. In a fictional world where we, as the viewer, know that our MCs are good and wouldn't hurt innocents we can suspend our disbelief and discomfort in order to enjoy the cathartic experience (esp for victims who have found themselves in and/or seen such situations) but irl this shit would NOT fly and I really wished the show made that extremely clear and not just brushed aside the very understandable and real concerns as only fearmongering by ppl who don't care abt bullying cuz it's just misleading.
As I think more about it, I can't help but see the kind of right wing, conservative coding in the show of how schools need to go back to the "good old days" when in reality there were no good old days, the abuse of power by students and teachers and parents and institutions against those more vulnerable is a tale as old as time because the system is always in favor of the more powerful. The education system does not need to go back to how it was, it needs to be build anew and I wish the show focused more on that.

coffee prince is easily one of my favorite dramas i think i just forgot how good it was. everything about it is so genuine it makes me want to light a forest on fire. a man coming to terms with his sexuality (even if he's not actually in love with a man but HE doesn't know that) at 30 and having to change his entire conception of himself, struggling with this new found attraction and hating himself for it but at the same time he can't stay away or deny his feelings for eunchan like hooooly shit

coffee prince is truly fantastic. i’m kicking my feet i’m squealing i’m laughing out loud i’m yearning. a wonderful portrayal of a straight man slowly falling in love with another person who he thinks is also a man. the gender of it all. the 2007 of it all. li shang and fa mulan primed me for this in childhood and i am eating this up for breakfast lunch AND dinner
gong yoo’s performance here is something really special. a person sliding into a queer identity they were previously unaware of and trying to overcome internalized homophobia due to the pull of the love they feel being bigger than society expectations and the world and the universe is so………

Rewatching Goblin and thinking about how the death of a centuries-old god lies in the hands of a small, unlucky girl.
How he looks at her with age old eyes that hint at I-have-seen-it-all-nothing-can-surprise-me and yet we see him surprised and flustered by her. We see him at her mercy. She is the love of his life. She is his life and death. The irony in the fact that she lives because he saved her and her mother but he has to die at her hands. His strength in being able to carry that. She is so so young, he is so old. She has poisonous relatives who wish her ill. He makes it rain when he is sad. He has seen the entire world and then some. She is laughably young and lost. And yet. Somehow. They manage to save each other. No matter how briefly.
This young misery-befallen, persevering, surprising girl. With an uncertain future. With no where to go. This old lonely guardian god who keeps serving his punishment. And both of them living, in spite of it all. And both of them of them, finding each other, precisely because of it all.

Tl;dr how you can personally make Neil Gaiman lose money (and not be a jerk to others.)
I see a lot of folks upset that NG will financially benefit from residuals and other compensation surrounding his involvement in the adaptation of Sandman and Good Omens (and he will.) But the answer isn’t “rage at the fans who are so emotionally attached to their blorbos because they grieve differently, and then somehow NG will be financially punished.” That’s lower-class/middle-class thinking. NG is too rich and financially diversified to really be hurt by little boycott or a couple of show cancellations (though said cancellations can cause life-changing poverty to the little guys who signed contracts and turned down other opportunities before all of this came out. Boy does NG love women in poverty 🤮)
So if you want to substantially reduce the wealth of someone at NG’s financial level—you need to do it with professional services fees.
Details below the cut:
The firm that NG has apparently engaged for online reputation management (ORM), called edendale, was once paid for their professional testimony in an unrelated slander lawsuit, which was delivered in the form of a report (2) outlining the strategy ORM firms use and (2) just how ludicrously expensive those professional services cost. (Credit to horrornobody77 for digging up the report.) We’re talking hundred of thousands of dollars for a small potatoes case, where NG’s could easily get into the millions for ORM and associated legal fees.
Reddit - Dive into anything
It’s not that long of a read, but to summarize the key action items you can take:
📆 -ORMs wait for the discourse to die down, because active discourse is much more expensive to counter. Wanna cost NG money? Talk about the accusations over time. Set a quarterly calendar event in your phone to remind yourself to post (and otherwise engage on other people’s posts) about the Vulture article. This needs to happens for years, so that NG has to pay for more comprehensive ORM and for longer.
✅-Make discourse that is Google-friendly. Use the words edendale will find concerning (they’re already running fluff pieces with the terms Neil Gaiman Uncovered to try and bury the similarly named subreddit.) If you just post a link without much comment, it’s not gonna be prioritized by search engines. Similarly, if you make a low effort post and then no one else engages with it—it’s not going to make it to the top ten search results. Engage with each other, for heaven’s sake!
🦾-Don’t let the fluff sit unaddressed. If you see random bot posts sharing NG quotes captioning random fantasy art (possibly AI or misattributed /stolen) with the comments turned on? Respond! Make it hard for the bots to understand your comment but easy for humans. “Nice quote! Mega bummer about what NG did, I used to really like him,” is hard for a bot to auto-delete. “Fuck NG,” is practically doing the bot’s autodelete command for it.
✍️ -If/when you post fan works for properties strongly related to Neil Gaiman, leave a lil callout in the author’s notes. Nothing that will get you sued, just a few words like: “I would definitely personally choose to not ever meet Neil Gaiman at a comic con.” Maybe throw in a link to your fav tumblr summary.
Anyway, to the person being paid hundreds or thousands of dollars per hour by Neil Gaiman for professional services—you’re welcome for the extra billable hours 😘
Also Edendale sounds like a law firm in a Good Omens legal AU fic, and I can’t believe it’s real.
I've reblogged this like 20 times but knowing he's suing one of his victims has made me come back to do it some more because fuck him. How very fucking dare he.
"i'd hoped there'd be stars" is so gutwrenching to hear because the doctor knows the stars as a site of transformation. you could say the thesis of the show itself is that beholding the stars, going to the stars changes you. but the twelfth doctor believes this with his entire being. he thinks a dalek could change if it saw the birth of stars. he thinks missy can change if they travelled the stars together. even after being trapped in the confession dial for 4.5 billion years, looking at the stars to learn that he's been there for a very long time burning himself up, over and over and over, he'd hoped there'd be stars at the end. just like at the beginning when he stole a tardis and ran away. and transformed.
