babydoll i do not think that he wrote that

Thinking about that time Faustus told a literal demon from hell that it was ugly and needed to shapeshift before rooming with him.

The innkeeper’s wife could literally just be Sauron, disguising himself in an unassuming hue to get rid of the dark lord competition.

When I discovered J.R.R. Tolkien's Rings trilogy ten years later, I thought, "Shit, this is just a slightly sunnier version of Stoker's Dracula, with Frodo playing Jonathan Harker, Gandalf playing Abraham Van Helsing, and Sauron playing the Count himself."

...Steve, buddy? I don't want you tell you your business, but it's really not

Can’t believe with so many adaptions doing Drac/Mina that people think that’s just part of the story that NONE of them took a Worthy Rival angle to it

Their dynamic is more like Holmes and Moriarty than some girl swooning helplessly over a dangerous bad boy

Hearing them get so excited over the whale fall is so fun I love hearing people who are passionate about their work

i feel like i'm losing my mind why has the AI debate pivoted away from material/labor concerns back to debates about Real vs Fake Art. cannot express just how little i care about relitigating Art and high art and low art and skilled vs unskilled art. what i care about is the treatment and compensation of workers, the power corporations are exerting over intellectual property and creators, the continued extraction of resources, and the omnipresent glut of spam and disinformation with few or no regulations/resources that filter out the SEO AI generated nonsense

characters in their 30's and older exploring their sexuality and discovering themselves beyond their teens and twenties is so important and beautiful and worth telling

thinking about how dracula has never been accurately adapted into a film and thinking about how dev patel would play the hell out of jonathan harker

I really don't mean give them the guillotine as a joke.

Fun fact: the anti-Semitic stereotypes about Jews having lots of money/being greedy/cheap began in the Middle Ages thanks to Christian laws.

The Christian church began forbidding Christians from having professions that involved lending money, banking, or pawn work. It was because the church believed that money was ultimately unclean so although it was considered a necessity, Christians were instructed to deal with it as little as possible.

But someone still needed to run all of those money-based businesses. So these societies which were already run by Christian leadership basically made it a rule that these businesses had to be run by Jews since they were already “unclean”. Furthermore, due to other restrictions on Jewish people in these areas, these money-based positions were pretty much some of the only jobs Jews could legally hold.

This eventually led to numerous stereotypes involving Jews and money. And the acidity of these stereotypes grew when Christian people and leaders became resentful of the livelihood Jews were able to achieve for themselves with these jobs.

So to sum up: Christian society forces Jews to hold down money-centered jobs since, according to the church, Jews were already going to Hell. Then, once they made lives with these roles they were forced into, Jews were mocked and hated for being successful.
