I need more shows like Pushing Daisies where every episode feels like a Fairytale AU version of its genre and all the settings, decor, outfits, etc are so delightfully anachronistic that you can’t ever really know which decade it takes place in

Today I went to a park and saw an awesome dramatic retelling of the Battle of King’s Mountain and afterwards we were hanging around talking and one of the presenters started telling me that making a single garment would take an entire year because you have to grow the flax, spin it, and then loom it before you had fabric to shape and I believed her because I don’t know anything about those sorts of things but when I said something to the effect of “gosh I can see why making leather clothing was preferable” she said that tanning hides would also take a year and as amicably as I could I tried to tell her that can’t be true because I’ve tanned pelts before and it takes a matter of days and she seemed a little miffed and hit me with the “well what were you using to tan it with though?” And I said alum and salt and I get that they probably wouldn’t have access to alum but I’m sorry there’s no way you can expect me to believe that tanning leather takes more than a month no matter what process you’re using.

Reblogging for the Sasazuka hate. That man is INSUFFERABLE
WAHHH I DIDNT KNOW YOU WERE A CXM FAN WHAT DOES YOUR FAV LIST LOOK LIKE (i see you’re a shiraishi fan he’s the bestest ever)
HAHA YEAH!!! omg don't worry, i don't talk about cxm too often so i'm not surprised ppl don't know!! but DO know i am thoroughly obsessed w shiraishi i want to squeeze him like a stress ball while he makes squeaky toy noises
cxm is also rly funny bc while i don't have a clear ranking for mls in lbc, i Definitely Do in cxm. disclaimer that these are all preferences HAHA my brain is drawn towards a very specific genre of Man i'm so sorry. but without further ado. my ranking.
shiraishi. my babygirl. my sopping wet cat of a man. easily the fastest 180 i've made in otome history. the speed i went from 'oh this guy is gonna fucking suck' to 'i would die for him' was absolutely ridiculous also i hope you're happy anon i went on a spiral looking up Official Images and now im approximately 20% more insane

2. enomoto! i love a pathetic guy who respects women. if shiraishi didn't exist, i would have just been like "aw yeah i rly liked enomoto" and then never thought much about cxm again, but let it be known. i do love this idiot who wears an eye patch to look cool and has a romance advice book.

3. i love. women. sakuragawa and mukai. my besties of all time i love you.
Tumblr media
and then as for the others...
4. okazaki is funny! i like him a lot. he's really funny in both his own route and others' routes.
5. yanagi's route suffered a bit from trying to solve every problem in one go, but i rly like him as a supporting character in other routes.
[insert the world's largest gap ever]
6. sasazuka. top ten guys handcrafted in a lab to piss me off. he manages to check off every single thing i hate in not only fictional men, but men in general. it's almost impressive.

Absolute loser that I am, every time I watch a show/movie I feel compelled to look it up on tumblr to see if there’s any fanart/fic about it
I watched Hatfields & McCoys and thought to myself “wow that was miserable and I didn’t like any of the characters. Never watching that again”
Anyway the first xreader fic I found is kinda cute.

I'm really tired of the "woman sad about her arranged marriage" trope, especially if that woman is royalty.
I am sure that many women across time were sad about their arranged marriages, but I'm sure a lot of others were excited, ambivalent, or resigned. Again, especially if you were royalty! I am sure if you were born a princess, you were trained from birth that your whole purpose in life was to marry someone important to solidify the power of the person on the throne. And honestly, it's an important job, if it wasn't, they wouldn't have tried so hard to do it.
That woman isn't just marrying another king or prince, she's going to be an ambassador of her country. She's supposed to be there promoting good relations. She isn't just a woman being sold off, she has a job! Also, if she is marrying the reigning monarch (or the heir), she may well end up running the country if the king is off at war or he dies when the heir is really young. That happened a lot throughout history! (or maybe she marries the third son and helps him find his way to the throne. Good for her)
It just feels like a modern sentiment being projected back. In Romeo and Juliet, when Juliet's mother first brings up marrying her to Paris, Juliet's basically cool with it and says she'll try to like him. She would have known this was going to happen because that is what rich women do, they marry into another family so their two families can be buddies. What else would she even be expecting?
It wouldn't bother me so much except that it's all we see! Give me a story about a woman who is like, "Cool, I shall give it my all!" Or she's like rolling up her sleeves and planning how she's going to get the court on her side and rule France, power behind the throne style (these women are mostly portrayed as villains, but who is to say the king would do a better job?). And also, have a little faith in women's fathers? You think men in the past didn't occasionally consider the happiness of their daughters? Not even a little bit?

This is pretty much the entire reason why I hated the 1st season. Because Sokka is actually a great character and everything that’s admirable about him is constantly denigrated or treated with comedic derision.
Sokka didn’t even get much of an arc. The writers just narratively framed his already existing qualities in a better light as the show went on
Sokka is alone
He is his tribes last line of defence
Two years ago, his father and the men of his tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation.
Leaving him alone.
Tumblr media
Here he prepares to fight and has to use his teeth to tie his wraps because this ritual is meant to be done with your tribes men.
but there is no one left to help him
Tumblr media
He promised his father he would protect his tribe and has dedicated himself to it.
To the extent that he can apply their traditional war paint alone without a mirror.
At times this is played for laughs. Hes off playing soilder, as katara call it, trying to train small children to be wariors
Tumblr media
But he was not much older than they are when the fire nation attacked and took his mother away.
now he's alone, the only male of age, raised in a society that says he is the only one left who can fight to protect his tribe.
He is preparing to die.
He's seen what happens, he knows what's likely to happen.
They took all of the other benders away before he was born and now they've come for his little sister.
and he is ready to have his last breath be in defence of the ones he loves. Even if it is all futial.

In Collar x Malice, Yanagi is practically incapacitated by guilt throughout his storyline and you find out that the HoRriBLe AtRoCiTy he committed is….(almost) killing a kidnapper in self-defense when he was a child. And the game’s narrative goes on to treat that as something he *should* feel insane levels of guilt over.
The whole game has a creepy level of disdain for the act of self-defense tbh.
(unserious joke post ahead) I'm gatekeeping guilt narratives from people who haven't committed atrocities. too many times have I encountered a story with a very promising guilt-ridden character and then we learn what they did and it was something no reasonable person could think was bad and the character just has low self worth about it or it was socially unacceptable in the setting. give me some Nuance to chew on. give me someone struggling to find the stable ground between accountability and self destruction. look me in the eye and tell me just how far your faith in the human power to grow extends. maybe shoot a man in reno just to watch him die then feel really fucked up about it and then your fiction will be better.

One of the most difficult things is having to love someone how they need to be loved, and not how you want to love them.

I must not scroll. Scrolling is the task-killer. Scrolling is the little-death that brings total procrastination. I will face my tasks. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the task has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
