i bought TMATL before mantel's comments came out and i feel awful about it. i wish there was a way to return the royalties.
well, you can always donate the same amount to the NCTE.
you didn't know, so don't beat yourself up about it. it's far better to learn and grow than self-flagellate.
although, one has to wonder how much bbc is REALLY 'in thrall of [the] trans lobby' (lol) if they're filming/promoting/releasing a second season based on source material of an author that has made her stance on this quite clear.
#and ...yknow. just listen .#it's nice that you're even acknowledging it bcus many haven't; or they have once and then they just kind of...move on#it is odd to see such a hard line drawn with like the harry potter verse. and jk rowling#i mean rowling is constantly promoting this agenda and does have a larger platform but.... yeah. idk. i guess everyone draws the hard line#at different places#but im not a fan of the hypocrisy#i see a lot of people mock anyone that still has HP nostalgia and some of the things people that#say they are against gender essentialism but still have it say#but they're still very attached to this series and say the same things...it's interesting#'but this is my comfort character'#they will say to even quote it is to not be supportive. but will do so with those#*this#it's always easier to mock others than to self-examine your own behaviors#i suppose because this is more a high literary series that appeals to the bluestocking crowd#but you know...mantel has/had a very large platform too#she could have used it to say anything. she chose to use it say this#i can't respect that choice. and i won't.#there were definitely some red flags that maybe some did not see as that but. again. for the future#like. 'a royal woman is a royal vagina' .#anon#also another double standard thing i've noticed between them? it's easy to say well they're bestselling international sensations;#me promoting or buying or streaming their work isn't going to make a difference. drop in the bucket#but you can't say that for one and not the other#if you're going to hold other people responsible for their consumption and who it supports#then you have to do the same for yourself. or you're just a hypocrite performing lip service for clout#and it seems very clear that you don't actually care about the people you're professing to 'defend'

i said it once before and I'll say it again: queer community. the calypso's birthday episode is fucking pride man. and for izzy, oh for izzy, to be able to finally be free like that? he doesn't understand wee john's 'look' at first but he knows how it makes him feel, so he gets one as well. and for such a repressed queer man to be able to walk out in drag it's huge. AND he sings a love song!! la vie en rose, that's a staple of love repertoire. so izzy feels comfortable, at home enough to be able to go on the deck and show himself as a queer man that loves. he finally accepts that about himself enough to show it. he kisses wee john's hand. he puts on a show. and the crew loves it, sings along with him at the end. one more song indeed, cocksuckers!

I want to see characters being taken care of in an explicit and worshipful way. Home-cooked meals. Hair brushed and braided by gentle hands. Little gifts just because.
I want to read about characters who are not used to kindness being bombarded by acts of service. This trope works romantically and platonically. Give me found family and acts of service - all the ways a character is wrapped up in wordless, explicit care after years of cruelty and having no idea how to handle. I need it.
