so the average american is not aware of the controversy surrounding jk rowling, like this is a very online kind of knowledge to have. I mean that there are people who fully know I'm trans who talk about harry potter to me and there's no awareness of any of the discourse surrounding the work that's been going on for years, and idk where I'm going with this but sometimes there's a huge gulf between what we expect people to naturally know by virtue of us being on tumblr versus people who are not

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

inside me there are two wolves. one says that frodo and sam have one of the most devoted, loving friendships ever portrayed in fiction, that depictions of loving platonic friendship between men is extremely important in literature and film, that jrr tolkien did a wonderful thing in depicting a male friendship where both of them are able to be so vulnerable and tender with each other, and that the gestures of kissing and holding hands have their roots in medieval chivalric tradition and were not associated with romance in the way they are now. the other says that frodo and sam have the big gay.

Something so funny about making the crew put together elaborate funeral preparations including a whole personalized coffin only after everything is finished to go ‘nah I still have some shit to do’ and heal almost immediately

Go to the meat-market of a Saturday night and see the crowds of live bipeds staring up at the long rows of dead quadrupeds. Does not that sight take a tooth out of the cannibal’s jaw? Cannibals? who is not a cannibal? I tell you it will be more tolerable for the Fejee that salted down a lean missionary in his cellar against a coming famine; it will be more tolerable for that provident Fejee, I say, in the day of judgment, than for thee, civilized and enlightened gourmand, who nailest geese to the ground and feastest on their bloated livers in thy paté-de-foie-gras.
Things I did not expect to read in Moby Dick: cannibalism propaganda
