The downside of Dune getting so popular is that we now have an influx of Chani x Paul shippers who act like Irulan is the antichrist for doing one bad thing but defend Paul despite everything he did in Dune Messiah. It’s Daemyras vs Alicent stans all over again

#Dune #Irulan #Idc it’s misogynistic to hate a female character for doing something bad but loving a male character for doing something even worse #Especially because Irulan was forced to marry Paul and was completely ignored by him for 12 years while he killed billions of people #And apparently it’s romantic that Paul threatened to execute Irulan even though the scene was meant to show us how awful Paul had become #like I’m really not looking forward to all of these new Irulan-antis #And book Chani and Paul isn’t even a good ship unlike DV’s adaptation.

so I’m watching The Tudors for the first time after reading about them for a while, and I just find it so funny that they combined Henry VIII’s sisters into one character. Does Mary, Queen of Scots even exist in The Tudors world? Does the entire Stuart line after James V just not exist?

#The Tudors #they should’ve just switched the names of the sisters if they didn’t want two Mary Tudors

the way that Twitter users can find someone’s innocuous if a bit strange tweets that’s not meant for their communities and then endlessly ridicule that person needs to be studied

#Twitter #Like some writer said she’s hesitant to describe her characters drinking in her books #And of course twitter is dog piling on her #And at one point she made a joke about pirates drinking rum #And someone quoted tweeted her saying it’s offensive to joke about rum because of colonialism??? #Like how can you be so upset when op didn’t say anything that bad #Twitter is weird

I really thought Cristobal being buried in sand was a deliberate reference to the bury your gays trope, so I was convinced that he would survive and he and Hank would have a happy ending…

…but of course this is Barry and the most innocent (well, as innocent as a crime lord could’ve been) character had to die. It’s brilliant writing, but Hank’s betrayal is the most tragic thing to happen in this show.

bro I can’t believe the Todoroki kids all are inbred because Rei’s family is BNHA’s version of the Targaryens.

I’ve wanted Tom and Shiv to break up since season 1, but now I just want them to get back together. I’m…I’m starting to realize that I’m only interested in enemies to lovers ship dynamics, lol.

#Succession #tomshiv #i’m even more of a romanlukas shipper after having watched episode 5 #i may have a problem

I’m 100% convinced that Yusuke/Kuwabara would’ve been the biggest YYH ship if Togashi had just made Kuwabara a pretty boy

#yuyu hakusho #yusuke urameshi #kazuma kuwabara #Yusuke/Kuwabara #I don’t want to trash other people’s ships #But #how??? How is literally every other Yusuke ship more popular than Yusuke/Kuwabara??? #Genkai said that Yusuke is protective of Kuwabara #Characters have literally joked about them acting like a married couple! #They’re rivals who love each other!!! #Like Kuwabara literally could’ve fulfilled Keiko’s role in the story

This entire Penn Badgley discourse is so weird. All he said was that he wanted to reduce the amount of sex scenes in You this season out of respect for his wife (which is good because actors should have the right to establish boundaries no matter what their reasons are!), but it somehow turned into a debate between “penn badgley is a king, all sex scenes are unnecessary and men with partners shouldn’t film sex scenes” vs “gen z is a conservative, puritanical, and sexless generation who wants to reestablish the hays code.” Literally zero nuance.

I didn’t agree with any of the queerbaiting accusations against the show because I didn’t notice any queer subtext and it seemed like people were just disappointed their ship wasn’t canon. But I’m watching episode 5 right now and Enid’s mom is literally sending her to conversion therapy (for wolves). If they’re going to make Enid’s story a queer allegory then at least make her canonically sapphic next season.

I’m currently watching Wednesday and I can’t get over how boring the cast is. The Addams Family is charming because of how strange and lovable the characters are. The “outcasts “ in Nevermore are literally just average teens with special abilities. If you’re going to remove Wednesday from the Addams family, at least give her show a developed cast of characters so she’s not the only standout 😭

#Wednesday #enid was entertaining in the first episode but she’s losing screetime to xavier and tyler #Wednesday Addams #the addams family

after the newest chapter leaks I really need an AU fic of the Phantom Troupe touring and acting in plays written by Chrollo like they were supposed to 😭

#hxh spoilers #hxh 396 #We now know why they’re called the phantom troupe #It’s because they literally wanted to be entertainers #Uvogin wanted to play villainous roles #What went wrong wtf wtf

I can’t believe so-called fans bullied a queer teenager off of twitter just because she had the audacity to say that the character she portrayed in HOTD is also queer. I hate this fandom.

#house of the dragon #emily carey #alicent hightower #seriously wtf

[duckpatrolsquad]

that Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke interview really shook the Rhaenicent antis because they’ve been calling the ship queerbait nonstop all day 😭

and the fact that they’re going after Emily and Olivia and not Milly and Emma for talking about the queer undertones of Alicent and Rhaenyra’s relationship is so telling.

#house of the dragon #Rhaenicent #how is show!alicent and Rhaenyra’s relationship the most taboo ship in this fandom #People who enjoy targcest have no room to say Rhaenicent is a bad ship #Not saying it’s bad to prefer ships #I just assumed that they’d be more accepting of other controversial ships #But I guess not?

[duckpatrolsquad]

The way that some people in the HOTD fandom are talking about the actors on the show is becoming concerning. People are harassing Emily Carey (a teenager) because she said show!Alicent is queer. Ewan Mitchell is getting attacked for his looks and acting because they’re mad that critics said Aemond was the highlight of the final three episodes. Fans praised Emma D’Arcy and said that they should be in the writing room, but as soon as they said something the fans didn’t agree with (like Rhaenyra’s entitlement and how Alicent was right to be upset about Aemond’s eye), it’s suddenly “they need to stop hanging out with Olivia Cooke”

it seems like people no longer know what acting means. Hating the Greens doesn’t mean it’s alright to hate their actors. I’ve never seen a fandom behave like this before.

Okay but hotd stans on twitter are so sick. Saying that the actors look inbred because you don’t like their characters is completely disrespectful. They’re actual people that you’re insulting, tf is wrong with you all?

#house of the dragon #You don’t have to be rude just because you hate their characters #This is exactly why Hollywood rarely casts average to below average looking actors in films #Y’all don’t care about acting talent #Hotd

I’m not the biggest owl house fan, but I think people are definitely nitpicking when it comes to criticisms of the show. I mean, I don’t think criticizing Christian Puritanism is antisemitic, or that all depictions of genocide in media is a direct reference to the holocaust. And as a black person, I find it strange that people say that the show is anti-black because the black characters blush “neon pink”? And while I do agree that Willow and Gus don’t have as much meaningful screen time compared to the white characters, things did get better deeper into the second season.

people are just so used to finding anything problematic in media (like SU, She-Ra. Star vs., etc) that their criticisms are becoming more and more nonsensical. It’s okay for people to like things that you don’t enjoy.
