it’s the way billy’s a scapegoat not only in show but for the duffers too like

people will spend all their time focusing on the actions of a fictional teenager rather than question the fact these two white men were all too eager to have a racial slur used against a literal child and have felt comfortable having racism in lucas’ story without it actually go anywhere all while putting no focus on him as a character

they use it as a thing, as a prop, rather than acknowledging it as the systemic issue it actually is - like they use it, have lucas canonically experience racism and then push his character to the back

it’s so blatant too, there’s nothing subtle about it but because everyone’s so busy focusing on big bad billy hargrove, racism doesn’t get discussed in the stranger things fandom the way it should because everyone’s too busy focusing on the actions of one single fictional character

#billy hargrove #stranger things #they get away with so much because billy’s just there #the way the word racist is thrown around too is so crazy #like i wish people would just do some research and know what they’re talking about before they post terrible harmful takes that get #thousands of notes from impressionable kids #like people have convinced themselves racism is a thing that’s like #a single person perpetuates #and that no one else would be racist in a town like hawkins in the 80’s #they believe only a villain and a bad guy could hold such beliefs #which just isn’t how it works #and has never been how it works #that’s a dangerous way of thinking about it too #and they’re SO quick to ‘i’m not racist i’ve never been racist because’ #and it’s like the first step is acknowledging how racism is ingrained into every day society rather than jump to the defence because you #believe that it would make you an ‘irredeemable villain’ akin to billy #like there’s such a big conversation to be had but it CAN’T be had because many fans refuse to talk and converse and l #listen and get other peoples perspectives so unfortunately this is where we’re at

Pulptober 29th: Ghost Breaker(s) - The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defence

I might be cheating a little here, but I think the BPRD is sufficiently larger than Red himself, and contains enough interesting characters in their own right, to warrant their own separate entry. Particularly since at least one of them is for all intents and purposes a ghost, despite never actually dying.

I've read only the first omnibus but it's a pretty good time if you're already into the Mignola horror brand or are looking for something a little more 'big-cast' than the Hellboy series.

(an all-Mignola post today, just to shake things up)

i feel like the de repetundis trial is even funnier when you consider the whole grieving process cicero goes through between the de maiestate trial and this one so i put together a few extracts of his letters for demonstration :) (< girl who's very much not helping her absolvo plea)

cicero's reaction to gabinius's de maiestate trial: a chronological compilation

denial

2. anger

3. depression

4. bargaining

5. acceptance

6. whatever the fuck this is

#look who did their research 🫡 #every letter contains a “i'm completely normal about this” and that's how you know he's seething the entire time #when i was reading stuff on it i was trying to find gradual hints of pompey's pressuring cicero but fantham was right he goes RADIO SILENT #the last letter though. it's like the five stages all at once #'COULD I have done anything else? no. this trial was DISGRACEFUL but really i'm totally fine about it #i'm SO FINE about it that i see the republic as doomed and will lock myself in my study until pompey comes knocking like a madman' #and then he just stops talking about it altogether and that's when you know pompey's sending him letters like ''sooooo about that defence'' #my posts #ringletted dude

We know how Sara Lance likes her coffee, black with lots of sugar! We learn that early on in Legends Season One. You might like your coffee differently and that's fine, so is artistic liberty in matters the show didn't elaborate on but if the show gave us the answer, stick with it. And the shows gave us several people's coffee preferences. Sara drinks it black with two sugars, Oliver likes it black, Felicity drinks a none fat latte with extra sugar (that makes zero sense on a nutrition level) just to name a few. We got the info. So do your research. Use another methaphor. Sorry things like that just really annoy me. But then again, I spend hours working out the smallest detail and researching things like Max Fuller's wife's name...

She doesn't like her coffee bitter, like her relationships and dirty martini, the woman mainly drinks scotch!, like do your research if you use it as something to make a point about a character and their actions.

And Sara was not sleeping with whoever tickled her fancy during her time with the Legends. There were a few choice people she hooked up with but she wasn't sleeping her way through time as so many Avalance people would like to make it out.

And who the hell thinks Ava's sweet while Oliver is bitter? It's like the exact opposite. Oliver's the sweetest person on the planet, Ava is so fucking bitter it's not even funny anymore.

And I don't why I'm over here ranting. Blame it on all the people tagging fics as Canarow simply for mentioning the fact that Sara used to date Oliver. That's a fact, you don't need to tag it that for two sentences.

I swear I get heat for also tagging a Canarrow story Olicity because technically in the story Oliver is with Felicity as in the present but Avalance and Olicity people tag a story Canarrow just because Sara and Oliver having been together is mentioned or they break up in the first chapter and them actually being together is never shown in the story.

Make it make sense and stop tagging your toxic bullshit with my ship! There are so few Canarrow fics out there don't throw your anti-fics in there I don't want to see those toxic ships under my happy tag.

I think I'm done now.

And where are my fellow Canarrow writers at? I sort of want to go through with "there can't be a none Canarrow ship at the top of the Canarrow tag" but I'm one person, my muse is flakey and given the amount of Avalance and Olicity people that are currently falsely tagging their fics Canarrow I will not be able to do that.

Wow this post just turned into something entirely different.

Anyway... I hope everyone has a great day.

#bugs #insects #moths #polls #lepidoptera #moth polls #we speak #moth poll... 2! #if some of these look somewhat similar then in our defence these are chosen by looking at random moths and going “oh wow that looks cool” #cadarena is a monotypic genus! thats not got a lot of research done into it but still! #we may have gotten slightly carried away there while looking up transparent winged moths but uhh #the moths are set. whatever else you say about em. #we will reblog this with propaganda in a bit but for now go ham #anyways! there are image descriptions but they may be a bit rough in our defence we're used to character writing not irl moth description #use them to orient which moth you're looking at and you should be fine

I've gotten so accustomed to fiddleford content that seeing fans use the name Old Man McGucket in the wild is basically a jump scare at this point.

#in my defence it was used in reference to research era fiddleford #who was if nothing else young man mcgucket #fiddleford mcgucket #fiddleford friday

can't believe that I've been having some stray and super vague ideas of an tad (="the artful dodger", that new Australian spin-off) steddie AU for about a couple of months now but the (metaphorical) math was just always not mathing whenever I tried to think of ways to actually make it a coherent AU

until today, when I all of a sudden, having almost forgotten about this idea in the first place, went "but what if steddie were t4t in this concept" and this just. fixed everything. suddenly ways to make it work appeared out of nowhere and made everything make sense, and I finally got around to jot down the premise after having it all just ruminate in my head all that time

sometimes transing the narrative really makes things better in unexpected ways, huh

#liam whispers into the void #writing #the artful dodger #steddie #stranger things #steddie au #that said it'll probably never actually see the light of day knowing me #partly bc i'm atrocious at getting around to AND finishing fics in general #partly bc my fic writing priorities now are the yi city exchange treat fic and ''one mordor at a time'' #partly bc i'm realistic about my chances of living up to tad's amount of surgery scenes. and being able to pull off writing stuff like that #cuz i don't really want too many inaccuracies if i can help it (also regarding the historical stuff) but then again knowing me it's likely #that even if i were to prioritize writing this i'd just drown in research and never end up writing a single word of prose. whoops #so yeah admittedly i've got zero idea why i'm thinking so hard about this at all. in my defence it's quite fun though???

bby i love you more than anything but like please laugh more the only time you laughed was when you were afraid sumo was about to bite your damn head off

If I cannot laugh in the face of death then I don’t know what you expect from me.

I've been doing so much research on precolonial Venezuela I'm not even sure what happened afterwards F

#Meitoswords #Worst venezuelan out there!!!! 💥💥💥 #Get the diaspora maracucho that mostly lived in carabobo and Italy to do the aph Venezuela oc I'm sure that will end super well #Ok in my defence I do know about stuff during the second republic and the gran Colombia #I've just been lazy to go in depth cause I wanna write down lolo's lore in chronological order #which means first doing research on his uncle lol #I also really should work more on my designs for the venezuelan states since #I think since Venezuela is such a diverse country I'll have to use them a lot if I wanna go in depth #So far I've only designed #Miranda / Caracas / Vargas/Guaira / Zulia / Bolivar / Cojedes / Aragua #I've done a rough draft for Carabobo and Merida #But I don't really like them #Tbh I gotta re draw them all I only reallyy like Zulia Caracas and Miranda and also Aragua she's cute but I can do better #My problem is that I never know when to make them be born lol are they a province a city or a state? No idea #I've also made colonia tovar cause ehm fumny #I wanna design a few diaspora communities to #Doing too much akwbwksnw #I also gotta look a lot into estado amazonas because it's known as the 'indigenous state' #But it has like.. A lot of ethnicities #So I think I'll design each indigenous nation and then together they represent the state #So I gotta get to that to #I'm feeling school so hardd

3 20 and 22 for the ask game <3

I totally forgot about this lol thx honey <3

3. Which fic are you using to introduce yourself to your new therapist?

They'd have me commited if I used You Hold My Heart In Your Hands or the Devil in ur eyes or arsonist's lullabye or any of them hdasudsahd I'm trying to find one where there aren't any torture scenes or fights/deaths and coming up empty lol

20. Uh oh! All the kids are hooked on your fics - what behaviour (s) are their parents concerned about?

Murder, violence, PATRICIDE (Barty always has to kill his father and his dreams of doing it aren't my own I SWEAR)

22. If you forgot your WIP in the oven and burned it, what would happen to the characters?

They'd think they're in hell and would start plotting a way to overthrow the devil and run things down

ask game

#SORRY I FORGOT I DID THIS #in my defence I just started my research and things are hectic #ask games #my fics #marauders #marauder fics #rosekiller fic

eddie munson would fucking hate 50 shades of grey, don't @ me.

#in part because it shows a super abusive relationship in a positive light without questioning the relationship at All #but also #the way it shows bd sm lifestyles is fucking BAD #'oh you're feeling bad after an intense session? just ignore it. that's what a good sub would do' #fuckin hate that thing #eddie munson would beat the shit out of christian grey #for elaboration if you want it #i high key recommend the 'a lukewarm defence of 50 shades' series by folding ideas #and also #all of dominic noble's videos on the topic #also like #you aren't a bad person for reading smutty novels or smutty novels with 'toxic' dynamics or whatever #but like #there are better books for you than 50 shades #books that take the topic seriously #books that explore the topic in an interesting way #books by authors that have done their research #that don't callously ignore the fact that a lot of the content reaches into dub con territory #anyway #if we roll with the popular hc that eddie is into some kinky shit #he would fucking Hate 50 shades #but yeah #eddie munson #eddie munson hc

Listened to P3 Historia (Swedish history podcast) about Dante yesterday and I wanted to scream because they kept on saying Beatricce the whole episode like 🥲🥲 say Beatris in Swedish or pronounce it correctly! Even the Dante expert said it like that like…. please!!

#did recognise the expert though I used his research in my thesis #he’s a lit researcher and not italianist to his defence #but still???? #anyway I love P3 historia highly recommended #snicksnack

me: can’t get through a ten minute chapter of my book without getting distracted

also me: writes milex fic for four hours straight without looking up
