50 Shades of Gray (E.L. James) "okay not to get too blue, but BDSM is kinda web-coded, and that goes double for the deeply coercive and unsafe dynamics shown here."
The Ash-Tree (M.R. James) "In the year 1690, a woman known as Mrs. Mothersole is found guilty of being a witch and condemned to death, largely on the strength of testimony given by Sir Matthew Fell. Shortly afterwards, Sir Matthew dies in mysterious and horrific circumstances. Some fifty years later, Sir Richard inherits his grandfather's former home. He finds that an ash tree in the grounds of the house is causing him problems. (Spoilers)
Somehow the witch's body was in the tree, along with several spiders the size of a man's head. Those are what killed Sir Matthew. Reminiscent of Burned Out in the imagery of setting the tree aflame and killing all the giant spiders as they scuttle out.

In a comment thread about Fifty Shades of Gray and E.L. James’ horrible management of criticism:
Tumblr media
I feel like that last point is so underappreciated when we discuss fiction and its effect on life.

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION]
Twilight version of the Domino Effect meme with 10 black dominoes from 2009's "World record for the largest domino toppled in a chain". On the lower right is a hunched over male about to tip over the smallest domino (1st domino). On the upper left is the largest domino (10th domino), which is 8.8 times taller than the smallest. Starting from the male and ending with the largest domino are individual sentences indicating specific moments in what is essentially Twilight history.
Male: “a group of “friends” get together at a villa (1816)” 1st domino: “Lord Byron proposes the “Ghost Story Challenge” (1816)” 2nd domino: “Polidori steals Byron’s idea (1819)” 3rd domino: “Stephanie Meyer wakes up “from a very vivid dream” (2003)” 4th domino: “Twilight gets published (2005)” 5th domino: “E.L. James writes a dangerously inaccurate BDSM fanfic (2009)” 6th domino: “Master of the Universe is published as Fifty Shades of Grey (2011)” 7th domino: “Dakota Johnson becomes famous (2015)” 8th domino: “Dakota calls Ellen DeGeneres out on her own show (2019)” 9th domino: “Ellen’s treatment of guests and employees finally gets noticed” 10th domino: “Ellen ends The Ellen DeGeneres Show after 19 years (2022)” 10th domino image: On the 10th domino stands an image with 6.9% opacity of Kelly Clarkson from The Kelly Clarkson Show.

“What can I do to make you understand I will not run? What can I say?" He gazes at me, revealing his fear and anguish again. He swallows. "There is one thing you can do." "What?" I snap. "Marry me," he whispers.

I have this delusion that I could very easily write the most tension filled erotic dirty wattpad smut of all time and sell shitty paperbacks and make a million dollars, but I just respect the industry too much to sully it like that

you ever try to develop a character that canon did sooooo dirty to,, that it no longer resembles the actual canon character?? like you went off the deep end with their characterization that you made up in your head, that the only thing that is similar to their canon counterparts is their name and appearance 😭😭

Ragtime (1981). A young black pianist becomes embroiled in the lives of an upper-class white family set among the racial tensions, infidelity, violence and other nostalgic events in early 1900s New York City.
It's impossible to argue with the fact that Miloš Forman knew how to make good cinema, but more than that, he really knew how society and culture informed a character's interior life, from their personal conflicts to their relationships to how they navigated the world around them. We saw it in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Hair, but I think nevermoreso than here, which feels ahead of its time in its nuanced approach to white privilege and the social structures that silence people. Plus the cast is absolutely stacked, I can't believe I didn't know more about this going in. 8/10.

I read the books and every single time Taylor was mentioned, I marked with a blue highlighter. I've written the E.L. James begging for a small spinoff about Taylor's POV on the story. Maybe a lil Taylor action too. I love him.

I JUST HAD AN EPIPHANY
we know 50 Shades is Twilight fanfiction
to the point that there is no difference, even in character description?
that means - not only is 50 Shades Twilight sex fiction but it's STEPHENIE MEYER SEX FICTION
E.L. James essentially wrote about Smeyer getting it on
