I love how Nimona looked at this dude, cast out from society, blamed for murder and hunted by everyone and was like "that's someone I want to be around. That'll be a great idea" and she was right??

the "empath" shit really did a disservice to autistic & adhd people who suffer from hyper-empathy

Doodles and such

on the point of including black people in the show (or any period show), a lot of the outrage can sometimes come across as performative to me. it's one thing to feel upset about how little screentime black characters get compared to white characters (a valid criticism, believe me, I Know! give me an hour and i could talk your ear off about how this constantly annoys me as a black person who's damned to enjoy period pieces), but it's another to Only get upset while not actually creating content for said black characters, Especially when fandom (not just hbo war, but in general) is famous for taking Extremely minor characters and creating entire worlds with them, to the point where you wouldn't know they're minor characters at all until you check out the source yourself. richard macon, alexander jefferson, and robert daniels each have only 20 or less posts about them (at the time of publishing this post). in my own fandom experience (within fandoms both big and small and old and new, whatever), i've seen more content (posts, art pieces, analyses, fics, etc) made for minor white characters in less than a mere week's time (it's not a competiton lol i'm just giving a perspective here). so idk. obviously, there's nothing anyone here can do about a show that's already been filmed and released. we got what we got. thas it. at least in the great wide world of fandom, you can actually do something about it, turning the big into small. there's precedent for that. otherwise it just feels like complaining for the sake of complaining

ROTZBACKE! HAKENZAHN! OI! OI! OI!

I wish I liked Wish :/

Why does this keep happening to him

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"

I can get a streaming service with 1-2 (maybe) shows I like for 8.30 dollars, or a nice copic marker for 9 that I will use constantly. Someone help me figure this out!

I started reading Lord of the Rings (bought Fellowship of the Ring like… last spring but never got around to starting) and I’d just like to say. Holy fuck what a slow book. You mean to tell me I’m over a hundred pages in and this man is only just leaving the Shire? Sign me up for MORE I love this shit. Tolkien said “I will take exactly as much time as I want to describe things and you will like it”. AND I DO

the mentally ill urge to have the biggest hyperfixation ever over a character from a fandom you arent even in

lemme tell you im starting to get a little sick of when im complaining about when a show or movie is writing a major female character with not as much depth as her male cohorts or she's written oddly plot device-like for a main character and people always tell me "oh but it's intentional, we're seeing her through the eyes of the male main character and he has a crush on her so he doesnt see her flaws" because like

FIRST of all yeah i get it but its hard to write that trope interestingly to me at this point without a lot of work put into subversion so intentionality doesnt make it any less boring

SECONDLY half the time people say this about ensemble cast stuff and like why is the random dude suddenly designated as the most perspective of all perspective characters when it comes to this specific woman. why dont we get to see the other characters perspectives on her too?

AND THIRDLY do people view women they have crushes on as bland plot devices without lives of their own enough irl that this is so universal in writing? isnt the point of having a crush wanting to hang out and know more about your crush, know about their likes and dislikes and all that. am i missing something here

Video is low quality, but it needs to be put out there

Seen here: the Jedi texts in a drawer on the Millennium Falcon at the end of TLJ

I make this post because A TON of people consistently bring up the texts being destroyed in the film

They weren't

THE SACRED JEDI TEXTS WERE NEVER DESTROYED IN THE LAST JEDI

Rey had them the whole time

never rlly seen crane as a huge fan of creature features. like they like those sorts of movies their just not their favorite, rn? especially those that are just brute force and destruction. more of a psychological horror guy (psychologist and what not). he likes analyzing horror movies more so on motives and why they would invoke fear (he cant Feel fear himself, so he analyses why they would be scary to Other people).

it does have movie nights with ed tho! ed is the more theatric and dramatic one, so he judges movies more so on how good the story is. they mainly just have movie nights to talk about things during the movies. unless its a movie crane likes in which they will Force ed to shut the hell up

(crane tries to watch movies with kirk and jervis, but kirk isnt a big horror guy and jervis is. the worlds biggest wuss)
