Soooo "in select theaters May, Netflix in June" -> we truly have recreated the unstable studio system of the 50s complete with the road show

The thing about Timmy Chalamet is that he’s truly a great actor and he even has good taste in projects and he’s not even overexposed when you calibrate for how overexposed all that group of 25-30 year old big stars are……however something is still off. any time he gets cast in something it feels like that movie instantly turns into a parody of a movie. I cannot explain this

#oh snap he does remind me of that guy in comp lit iii who was high for every single class #they might actually know each other bc that guy went on to direct movies

‼️ Fiction cannot cause physical harm to someone.

‼️ The only person who should have the power to decide if a piece of fiction is harming you emotionally or psychologically is you.

‼️ Any fiction you feel like you are being harmed by you can stop reading/watching/creating it at any time.

‼️ You are always in control when you are consuming or creating fiction.

‼️ Do not surrender the power to decide what fictional ideas might cause you emotional or psychological harm to other people.

‼️ No one will ever know better than you what ideas are harmful to you personally.

‼️ You cannot decide what is psychologically or emotionally harmful to another person.

‼️ Attempting to restrict the kind of fiction that people create or consume because you think it might cause them emotional or psychological harm is authoritarian.

‼️ It is safe to explore any ideas and themes in fiction. Fiction does not and cannot cause physical harm to any person. You are always in control of the fiction you are creating or consuming.

#heavy sigh #the fine line between people who knowingly write about dark and controversial shit #and either don't want to or don't know how to tag appropriately #and people who genuinely do not know that that is the content they are producing #and are extremely insulted by the accusation #like if someone knew to tag for racism in their fanwork #why would they write it like that

i know this is coming from a place of like intense sexual objectification and homophobia and racism not to mention the world ending efforts of big oil but unfortunately it is so funny

gamified baby name generator except the boy's names are only names from romance novels. You get extra points if the name contains a z or an x and you hit the jackpot if it's a source of trauma like a generational family name or just something that awful

people love to complain about sex scenes in tv shows and violence in movies when the real danger is scenes that make you feel second hand embarrassment.

Really hate this episode because it's such an edgelord stance that doesn't match Joey's personality at all. Anyway the fact that doing good things for other people makes us feel good about ourselves is one of the best things about humanity and not in fact a reason altruism is bad actually.

Matt Murdock/Daredevil

1. Catholic

2. Excellent free climber

3. Kind of a slut

4. Also a lawyer

You got me. That's. That's the perfect recipe. Wow.

Matt is. Goddd. He's such a bad lawyer. He's such a bad Catholic. He's such a good climber. And it doesn't matter.

Being blind probably provides some defense against hypnosis, certainly against Dracula's basilisk stare. It also means he's a perfect hire for Dracula because he really doesn't look like a threat and he's not going to see anything suspicious. Dracula applauds himself for his own cleverness over and over for this one.

There is no shaving mirror incident, because what use is a mirror to Matt Murdock? On the other hand his combat strategy of killing the lights and punching people in the dark will have no effect on Dracula. They both sneak down the wall at the same time and it gets Real Awkward as they pretend not to notice each other - the next day at dinner Dracula's like "so, uh... I was of course out on Business but you didn't happen to uh... go out of your room yesterday did you?" and Matt's just like "ahaha I do not climb walls that is my least favorite thing to do anyway I'm blind anyway it would be fine if I did right?" And Dracula's like "ahaha of course you're not a prisoner and who said anything about climbing walls I definitely use doors like an alive person but yeah don't sleep in weird places you'll die." And just sits there staring at him like "...but do the butts match???"

Matt would try to rescue the baby and it would come to Ninja Fighting and he would get badly badly beaten but run off into the wilderness and collapse in the nearest church coughing up blood. Foggy would pick him up two to six months later and just be like "so have you learned a valuable lesson about trying to handle things on your own?" and Matt would be like "in my defense he was a Vampire." And then have complex feelings about the interplay of good and evil or something. And Foggy would be like "...okay but did you at least bill him properly??" And Matt would have to be like "actually I got robbed."

But yes, Matt "Daredevil" Murdock can survive Castle Dracula

‼️Notice to Past and Current Black participants in fandom‼️

I am interested in compiling a SIMPLIFIED appendix of anti-Black racist things you've heard or seen in fandom. Sometimes I feel as though people legitimately believe we're making a person or experience up when we speak on the topic, so im curious to see just how common our experiences are.

So!

What I ask from you is, if you have a Three Sentence Max summary of something that was said or done to you, and you want to submit it (anon is fine; it'll all be anonymous anyway. I'm not going to publish them in ask form unless you really want me to), I want to write them all on a pdf and share that pdf on here for visibility.

Because I'm only one person with a job, I'm personally gonna stop collecting after about a week of submissions, though feel free to keep sharing if you'd like. I also plan on grouping similar ones if need be (e.g. if whitewashing a character is the summary of seven stories, I'll just denote that it was told seven times).

If you are interested (and again, it can be ANONYMOUS) feel free to let me know 👍🏾

the point of higher education is learning for the sake of spending time with things that interest you not career preparation and society is working very very hard to disincentivize that, which is a shame because life isn't just about getting a job it's also about making your brain a nice place to spend ~80 years

as someone with a bachelor’s degree in english, i am inexpressibly tired of people telling me to get highly specific jobs that often require highly specific degrees. “just go write for a magazine!” you need a journalism degree for that. “just teach!” you need a teaching certificate, and also fuck you. “just go work at a tutoring place!” tutoring children with learning disabilities, which make up the majority of the clientele at those places, requires not only a teaching certificate but a specialized master’s degree. “just go work at a library!” you need a master’s degree in library science to be a librarian. it is actually a highly skilled and extremely competitive field. you don’t just “go work at a library,” you train for years in the vain hope that you will get one of handful of available jobs. “just go work at a library.” the nerve. the unmitigated gall. “just go work at a library.” ugh.

#P&P from bingley's perspective #oh my god #it would be glorious #he would be so oblivious to everything it would be so fucking frustrating #but at the same time #he would be THE ONLY CHARACTER #who would know about Darcy's feelings for Elizabeth without needing to be told #like #Bingley's perspective on that time he tried for like a year to hook his best bro up with the girl he was clearly into #and watched Darcy fuck it up spectacularly
