He had 70(!) different people writing in to defend his character. His deadbeat loser father was giving a golden globe winning performance to the judge. Chaplains were speaking on his behalf. A has-been Australian rapper was willing to put the last bits of her career on the line for him.
And all of that meant NOTHING because all the judge wanted was to see him show an ounce of remorse, and yet, he refused. I hope he enjoys prison food! 😌
Marisha: how did they know Vax would show up like that?
Matt: not the first time Keyleth’s been attacked.
the fucking IMPLICATION that Keyleth has gotten to a point at least more than once in the 30 years since c1 ended and c3 picks up that Vax has shown up to protect her is fucking harrowing to think about
Me getting my hands on Giewont (she'd probably snap me in half).
they would try their hardest not to hurt you!!! after the incidents she'd been through she is weary of physical contact, afraid to injure people around them. when not sure of people's intentions, she freezes in place to minimalise the danger. she's still pretty sharp tho - there may be a bit of blood and a grind of glass shards in your teeth afterwards. and hurting people rather than protecting them feels a bit like faliure. but she does appreciate the gesture - just remember to keep yourself safe!
feeling so soft about angela tonight. i want to take her on walks. go birdwatching. sit by a river and just quietly enjoy each other's company. brush her hair. buy a bunch of different snacks to figure out which ones she likes most. aughh
i finally played through the galar chapter of the villain arc in pokémas and it was pretty alright, it at least made me feel kinda vindicated about my stance on rose being a redeemable villain. i will say that i think the chapter would've been stronger if (01) bede was present & played a core role in the plot and (02) oleana switched sides to help rose see that he can't save the future if he keeps going down the same path & tries to do it alone.
where would you like sylvie to end up at the end of season 2 (if not with loki)?
in terms of predictions, i don’t have anything concrete, with or without loki. but where i want her to end up is somewhere safe where she can listen to her records in peace and live the life she has always deserved. i want her fate to resemble this image.
I will never, ever, EVER give a fuck about race swapping, ever.
I don’t care what your reasoning is either, oh, you think Black people deserve original characters (we 100 percent have those but whatever), I think Black actors deserve to not get bullied for taking a coveted role.
Oh, you just care about accuracy? No the fuck you don’t, no adaptation is 100 percent accurate, no actor looks exactly the way the creator envisioned them (also I think the fixation on the most basic ass aesthetics that every other fictional character in existence has is frankly pathetic and sad).
You think it’s pandering? What do you call the fact that 95 percent of popular genre fiction written before a certain time was overwhelmingly white? And the ones that weren’t tended to get whitewashed in even fairly recent adaptations (*cough* Earthsea *cough*). If you want to be inclusive —which is not inherently bad! Wanting your adaptation to better appeal to nonwhite people isn’t wrong, it’s good business sense, and for some creators, simply the right thing to do— the only way to adapt certain fictional worlds is to change the race of a character or two or make up a character that wasn’t in the original lore, and neither tends to be taken all that well. But you still have the originals if you simply can’t deal with seeing too many unsightly negroes to the point where you have to do an internet about it, enjoy. Nobody owes you an adaptation in the first place, there’ll probably never be a Saga TV series and you don’t see me having a meltdown.
You think too many nonwhite people in one fictional realm is distracting? I’m begging you to unpack that.
Constant bitching isn’t making race swapping less of a thing either, the studios know you’re going to whine and they still do it, they might even do it BECAUSE they know you’re going to whine and want the free publicity. The only thing you’re accomplishing is annoying everyone outside of your dumb little bubble.
Now, do I think it’s always done well, not necessarily, Black characters get fucked over in general so why would race swapped characters be any different? Invincible, for example. Making the first love interest Black only to make her unlikable to a large percentage of the fandom wasn’t cool. But the problem wasn’t the race swapping, it was changing her personality to create unnecessary conflict rather than changing it in small ways to highlight her Blackness. You can bring up the change in character without mentioning race at all, but some people are so committed to racism that they simply can not do that.
In short, I don’t care what your grievances are, I just want to see talented Black actors getting big roles and getting paid.
would anyone but me be interested in a. chronological lore playlist for lumberjackass. on multiple platforms including spoofy youtube and mp3 zip file cause im insane.
Can we just talk about Elisabeth sladen for a second??? Can we talk about how a normal girl from Merseyside became a feminist icon by staring I'm a B list sci-fi show and never took that position lightly. Can we talk about how she became that icon not just due to the script but because in every scene she was in she took the blandest material and made it art? Can we talk about how everyone that knew her said she was the kindest, most down to earth person that always had time to support the crew and people that were supposedly "below" her on set? Can we talk about how she basically introduced classic doctor who to a whole generation?? (In an episode that butchered Sarah Jane's character by implying she was in love with the doctor but I digress) Can we talk about how in every ep she was in one close up was the most emotionally impactful storytelling you'd ever seen? Can we talk about how she was one of the most talented actors of postwar British television and continued to hone her craft until she was cruelly taken from us far too soon? Can we talk about how her icon of a daughter continues her legacy because she recognises how much Sarah Jane changed not just doctor who but British attitudes towards explicitly feminist protagonists in general? Can we talk about this???
