best thing about uncle iroh is that if you pay attention he is actually just as much of an idiot as zuko but has just mastered the art of coming across as a wise old man. the even better thing is that zuko is the only one on the planet who somewhat realizes this and no one would ever believe him because he's zuko

I’ve seen a lot of people saying “the only one I feel bad for on that sub is the 19 year old” and while I definitely agree how awful and tragic it was that he was pressured into something like that which ended the way it did, I also feel that, after learning more about him, Paul-Henri Nargeolet deserves a lot more sympathy than he’s gotten

As I am raving about TTPD, allow me to also reiterate the following:
Offering 4 different versions of the album with a single different bonus track on each was greedy and shady as heck, especially with how they were marketed as limited and exclusive editions. But then to jump out and go, “Surprise! You still don’t have all the songs!” is a whole other level of cruel.
Every song should be equally available on streaming AND physical media. Justice for the banished-to-streaming tracks (If This Was A Movie, Safe And Sound, etc…) as well as the ones that are still only available on one singular version of the physical album, (Sweeter Than Fiction).
Every explicit album should have its clean counterpart sold alongside it from the initial album announcement. The only album Taylor has handled remotely well on this subject is Red TV.
For somebody who said she made the Eras Tour film because she wanted everybody to be able to share the experience even if they couldn’t attend the concert, she has released an awful lot of music that she has made clear she doesn’t want her fans to have equal access to! It’s hypocritical, and it makes it increasingly hard to respect her as an artist when her business practices are so conniving. And I say this because I do appreciate her as an artist, and so it bothers me to see her behave so low when I honestly believe she’s better than this!
So, open letter to the chairman of the Tortured Poets Department, I guess: are you in it for the art, or the money?

Thinking about current continuity Vanessa and just getting pissed off again
Like one, LET HER REST oh my god dc you ruin her FUCKING life like an asshole only to bring her back as a villain after she finally got out oh my god-
But also like its just so bad. This is a whole other woman with her name like why are we doing this. Like first you kill her mom (JULIA NOOO) and erase her YEARS of history growing up around diana (the thing that actually made her villain turn [if you can call it that w the level of manipulation involved] interesting and fucking heartbreaking) for some shitty "oh I saved you we were friends" run of the mill whatever. Then to use that and say Nessie had a crush on her OWN SISTER (Diana, so like informally adopted, but still 😡) now????
And then they took away her curls and made her a redhead but not even the realistic kind. DC SHE DOESNT LOOK LIKE THAT
It just makes me so mad. Freaking guys. They could have used another name like oh my god. She's not even the first silver swan why the fuck would they do that if they're not going to explore her history w diana (which she no longer has!!!!) or how intensely fucked up everything got for her. What is even the fucking point of this then other to drag a main character of the ww supporting cast through the mud again for genuinely no reason. They could have easily had her be Valerie Beaudry (sorry Val) instead or just MADE UP ANOTHER NAME because it's obvious that no one actually cared about her as a character they just wanted the wondy villain back so like !!!!!!!!!! Why even bother

i love seeing people (the times, to be precise) refer to the post office scandal as the biggest ever miscarriage of justice in the uk when internment in northern ireland went on for years with no apology or reparations - and when the uk govt is right now putting in place a complete amnesty for all crimes committed by security forces during the troubles

winning was never the goal in 2022.
it was becoming competitive.
yet you have the opportunity to be winning.
and you’re not capitalising on it?
that’s not the racing spirit.
if you’re gonna defend ruining your drivers race for fastest lap (which he was 6 tenths off of btw) and say “we wouldn’t be racers if we didn’t try”
where is that mindset when fighting for the championship?

The Durrells was so smart when they made Leslie the family member who winds up fluent in Greek because if it was any other character they would have been able to solve problems before they became plots
