Louis w the camera. claudia w the diary..

#coming back to this #yn.#iwtv s2 #louis de pointe du lac #claudia #something about the common belief in the west & the value of the written/textual/photographic as ‘objective’ & true #being a proof that ur surviving the different ages u encounter #the shift from jim crow new orleans to post ww2 paris #for once u r the tourist! but ur also the spectacle #bc black american culture particularly new orleanian black culture is the ‘trend’ in europe. jazz clubs.#CLUB DAKAR.#armand loving louis bc he sees him as a tether to the ‘age’.#claudia’s collection of the written word. asserting her own existence and how she brings Death.#The belief that black ppl had no ‘capacity for the written word’ v claudia being so proximate to the book.#she talks to the book! its her friend.#shes always on the verge of death if u think abt it

I keep seeing things where people are like "it was so nice to see Colin's satisfied little smirk fall when he realized she wasn't going to fall over herself for him anymore" because they seem to think he really only sees Penelope as an ego boost, but like...my guy just found out he hurt one of his best friends feelings? And thats why shes been ignoring him for months? Hes not upset because his ego isn't getting stroked, he's upset because he hurt someone he cares about. Why is it so hard for y'all to grasp

#rainy talks #the way people look at him; nicest man alive; who has yet to be intentionally mean to anyone #and think he just sees Penelope as some ego boost #like he very clearly sees her as his *friend* and he's upset because shes upset #literally how are you people going to handle him getting upset at her for Whistledown #because like in the books where she does significantly less damage #he gets UPSET #y'all gonna get pissed about this??#not to mention Penelope lashing put like this at him #is because hes the only person around her that'll take it #but thas just my opinion and its 3 am ad I am not writing an essay about that rn #and like even if he does see her as an ego boost;arguably so does she!!!#but again i am NOT getting into tjis #I'm just a massive colin defender #I'll also defend pen for alot of shit but man she doesn't need it shes got a whole fucking posse and hes got like 3 gays who love him

got queerbaited into reading a book by chatgpt. is this rock bottom

#girlblogging.pdf #apparently coding isn't the only thing that thing is ass at. fetching basic information is too #i mean i Wanted to read it anyway and i knew it wasnt queer before. idk why i let chatgpt gaslight me into believing i was making it up #whatever. neither the main character nor her best friend are textually queer or in love with each other. they're both pretty boy crazy tbh #but the mc is giving big aro vibes. like she's so done with her best friend every time she starts talking about men or crushes #also her crush on this guy is giving extremely platonic im not biased i swear #she just throws herself at him because she thinks itd be cool to date her besties crushs bff #so she could feel normal like her #they do have a cute friendship though. mc and the guy. also they start dating like 2 seconds after her bff dies so it's not really romantic #also theres a very cool lesbian who gets more pagetime than the guy and whos friendship with mc is super angsty so #w #its a really good book ok i just went in with really wrong expectations #like a sapphic hiaylm #but every day i grow closer to the great truth of my life that sapphic hiaylm will never exist #and i should stop looking for it and find the beauty in things for their originality and what they are #anyway in this case the lack of sapphicness did not detract from the book at all dont get me wrong #i just found it funny

people really need to get a grip. The pale blue eye is a book set in 1830s, why are you surprised that there’s misogyny in the film?

#y’all would go wild if you knew the book was written by a gay man #I mean I understand the problems with the content and the way it’s handled #but Maddie’s situation… and the way 1830s society would’ve handled it would be to ignore it or consider her ruined.#it’s disgusting and it shouldn’t be a thing but that’s the reality #the movie struggled in playing out a lot of the character depth you get in the book #needed more Lea… needed more of her being a bad bitch #they put Mrs marquis in more than Lea tbh LOL and she’s not very significant in the book #I love the book and I’ll go to the grave defending it #the pale blue eye #still have the male savior complex I know but can we appreciate what landor did. kill r*pists.#women were silenced in those days.. maddie would not have been able to talk to anyone about it bc in the book she’s isolated in a cabin with #her dad. she rarely leaves.. and she’s so excited for that ball.. she wanted to go so bad #she prepped for days and that happens and it just shatters her being which in turn shatters the household #she didn’t have any girl friends.. she didn’t have friends.. she just lived with her dad!!!#suicide hits close to home and the movie hit close in its own way

i’ve been trying to get through hoh for literally like a week now but it’s so hard bc the way my fave nico is treated is absolutely ABYSMAL and i know it only gets worse

#personal #even hazel being like ‘yeah he’s hard to get along with’ or whatever she said #every single non-tartarus perspective has had at least one reference to this #and like i understand the reasons it’s not that it’s that it highlights this issue i have with a lot of the characters in that series which #is that i don’t like them. and that’s so different for me bc i actually usually find that my two favorite characters in anything are the tw #that don’t like each other? unrelated to that dynamic usually mostly but still within it #but that’s not even what the dynamic is yk.#and it’s just the whole thing overall like in the last book there was one part where these two characters who are supposed to be good #friends are separated and one makes a comment about how annoying (or something along those lines) she finds the other which.#i’m vaguely aware of what happens in toa so i think you could argue something about that but read on its own bc i don’t want to make that #argument without fully grasping where her character goes #it just kinda reinforces this… vibe to the whole series that was not nearly as present in the first series of like. really overemphasized #like gender roles/heterosexuality/etc. i can’t think of the word to use to describe it. i’ve seen other ppl talk about the parts that add u #to the whole that i’ve seen but never synthesize them. and it really varies between actually insidious and simply not my taste which is par #of the reason i hesitate to make a full critique out of it. but suffice to say i really don’t like it #with that being said the pacing of this book is really good and i am compelled to finish based on the themes i do find interesting #autonomy being a huge one #but anyway those are my thoughts on it after a few days of a break. i’ve been playing a video game instead :3 but i start work on wednesday #sooo i won’t have as much free time boo #looking back maybe ‘insidious’ is a very strong word for it. i’m talking about like when percy complains about the bag and similar moments

#little ramble but today i visited my friend who just got out of the hospital <3 she was in critical care #its been like that for abt 3 weeks now and like it was bad to the point where her dying was a very real possibility #anyways shes better now although shes still in the recovery process but my other friends and i decided to visit her #and we all wrote her letters and compiled it into a book for her to read #and my friend group consists of like 8 ppl excluding her and we all have very distinct personalities so #the book of letters was a whole roller coaster😭 one of my friends was all poetic and she was talking and heaven and earth or whatever #and the next page is mine and its like hey man im so glad ur not pregnant bc i thought u were when u told me u were in the hospital #and theres also the last pg where the letter was so long we couldnt fit it into a pg so we just shoved a whole separate envelope in there💀#the personalities really show 😭 i hope she has a fun time reading those #shes going to have a Time reading it but at least she knows shes loved!!💖💖#delete later

started up my oots reread again and once again i think dovewing is the best character in the series

#lot of really good moments with ivypool and the three early on....#its been so long since i properly read it last i genuinely thought a lot of the meat on the bone was like. from widespread headcanon #but nah theres a lot of emphasis on dovepaw like. struggling to keep up with the prophecy and resenting it #her meeting up with tigerheart though like. way more rushed than id like has an interesting basis since she thinks of it as like #'i am NORMAL i am meeting my FRIEND away from THUNDERCLAN and the PROPHECY' which is :+( and also extremely good setup for her arc in avos #and like in book 2 where she tries to talk to the other cats who went on the dam journey but most of them are cold and unfriendly #she questions a lot of like. clan rules and breaks them intentionally idk how people thought of her as overly obedient perfect etc

❝ don’t you dare talk to me like that. ❞ pretend im on my multi. from fenrir

andor sentence starters | @lunarcry

Retracting her hand, holding it to her chest, but...Not taking a step back. The fear and surprise that laced her face for the briefest of moments fades into her previous seriousness. Diantha even takes a step towards Fenrir - even if her arms are now stiff and unmoving - taking a deep breath and continuing.

"I'm sorry if I offended you in any way. But you have feelings too. Even if you don't want to talk about them...I saw how upset you were, and wanted to make sure you were okay. That's all." Her delivery is a little stiff, as is her whole body, but Diantha was nothing if not a genuine girl. It took ever ounce of strength in her to not cower away from all of Fenrir's hostility and bite, but she stood strong by choice. Not even in the sense that she liked Fenrir that much, but in the sense that...She knew hurt when she saw it. And they were working together, in the end, no longer true "enemies", so the hostility on Diantha's side had melted more into an...understanding worry. She's stupid for feeling that, she knows that. And she knew she would get such a reaction from such a hostile primal. But, even then...

"I just wanted you to know that I'm here if you needed somebody." That was all she could really offer her, but she was glad to do it.

#lunarcry #v: don't judge a book by its cover #( idk where this idea came from but nods nods #diantha serial hater of conflict getting a slightly strong moment (she will regret this)#but also fenrir needs friends.............but also she doesn't............but also diantha doesn't want to be her friend...........but also #standing person emoji #i feel like fenrir would hate being cared about and talked to like something was ever wrong #and diantha is like “same in a sense; but eh? it feels nice yeah?” and then fenrir eats her leg )
