#IS WOOLSEY OK?

[keshetchai]

Not a single gentile defending linsey-woolsey/shatnez as regular clothing fabric has ever accounted for the stink factor of Europeans/colonists "from the 14th century on," and tbh.....that tracks.

"it's cheap! It's warm!" Ok and how bad was their stink? How often did they bathe and wash their clothes....?

...yeah.

[trainofcommand]

OK: A follow-up poll to my follow-up of @chaos-monkeyy's poll. Sure, Rodney McKay came out on top for the last poll, but what happens when he's not an option?

This is a pressing question of significant discussion over at Atlantis HQ, naturally. They need answers!! STAT (Rodney has some ideas, but he's gonna keep them to himself and wait for the poll results).

yesss wip wednesdayyyyyyyy

ok words!!!! for the WIP(s) of your choice:

see, can't, blue, small

All were in Good Time, so:

see: It becomes routine, benign, like a tumour; John feels nothing but the pulse of a hangover everyday as Lorne rambles at him; Woolsey talks towards his direction; Rodney begins to make excuses not to see him.

can't: So John kisses him. Pressure, passion, lost and found; books fall to the ground and John can’t tell if they’re against a bookshelf or a wall or a desk. blue: “Rodney.” He says it in the way he knows will shut Rodney up. It works, a firm line forming his mouth and wide, expectant blue eyes staring back, and John swallows his damn pride and pats Rodney on the shoulder. small: He misses the Pegasus Galaxy. Home. Going off-world, with Ronon, Teyla and - well. John picks up his phone, enjoying the small luxury of having cellular service, and Rodney’s phone goes to voicemail.

will is so unbearable

y’all I used to adore this series so much (and I do like it still.) but it’s got me looking at some characters a certain way. like Will used to be just tolerant to me. I didn’t love him but I didn’t hate him either. but can you imagine that if someone killed a shadowhunter or especially a herondale and the amount of consequences that downworlder would be in??? like I’m sure the shadowhunters would declare will. but he kills a werewolf and it’s a ok. I mean, woolsey calls the brat out but you still attacked two men who are unconscious and one dead.

I also get it like they came at Will but they’ve lost their whole pack because of Mortmain. we get it, the shadowhunters are evil and only protect themselves but I wish CC would call them out more. but hey, she’s never going to call out her favorite golden boys. I just find this shit so annoying like Will could commit murder and he still would probably be excused lmao like there’s nothing wrong he can do in CC’s eyes 💀

What are your favorite things about Magus, in terms of mannerisms, actions, quotes, etc.?

~ @daigokiryu

OMG OK SO initially part of what drew me towards him is how determined he is. he’s very single-minded in his goals and will go to extreme lengths to achieve them. he is a pragmatic sort of person and he was willing to bide his time and wait until he (thought he had) the upper hand to face lavos. it’s both very attractive and scary to me, he’s a fun f/o to pick apart

i also love how he has a sarcastic/dry sense of humor, that’s an easy way to win me over in the first place but i gotta give a special mention to what i’ve seen of him in the original snes version so far. i’ve played the steam version first because it was a gift, and the translation is more accurate, but i plan to play the original as well and woolsey’s localization gives magus a sort of sass that he didn’t really display as openly in the steam/ds translation. it’s very funny to me because he’s a bit less eloquent and more bratty, coming across more vegeta-esque and it’d be fun to combine the two manners of speaking to get my own personal version of the character

#EEEE ty for letting me indodump brooke #magus tag tbd

clockwork prince thoughts

-ok i’m so not gonna finish my re-read in time even with audiobooks unless i do literally nothing this weekend- godspeed to all trying to re-read at this point

-i listened to the audiobook for this one which is sad bc it’s my favorite tsc book and probably my one of my top favorites of all time but it’s also nice to listen to. ed westwick who is cancelled but really was the will fancast of the time and they have him do all the will scenes and the poetry quotes between chapters and it’s unfortunately quite good. i also like him reading the magnus chapters. the female narrator gets points for literally singing all of bridget’s irish ballads but loses a few for making charlotte sound like mrs. potts

-i love this fucking book! everyone is kissing everyone everyone is freaking out and the full angst hasn’t set in yet

-you knooooooow i love the charlotte and henry confession scene. i could quote it. those two are it, they’re everything. if they don’t have some semblance of happiness and also twin girls by the end of chain of thorns i s2g...

- “i married you because-because i knew i wouldn't mind how difficult directing this place was, or how badly the clave treated me, if I knew yours would be the last face i saw every night before i went to sleep” why does this part get me the most! how were they so lonely for 4 years! they make me want to sob! it’s enough to just be around each other even though that’s so painful 

-cc really put her whole ass into this love triangle. there’s nothing like it never had been never will be, it transcends

-woolsey darling

-the trip to york- everything with aloysius and his granddaughter. i like seeing other institutes. also the fallout of the accords and certain shadowhunter’s reluctance to follow them/ having spoils. the accords are still so new at this point and it’s so interesting to me

- “it was a rare and novel thrill when henry gave orders”

-this is such a good second book 

-is cyril in the last hours?? i wonder where he ended up. are mundane servants allowed to work in houses in idris? he should have a little scene 

-i looOOooove the brothers lightwood. gideon really is that girlie who studies abroad for 6 months and makes it their whole personality 

- charlotte- when she kicks a fucking stone wall in the council chamber ♥ when she has to interrogate jessie with the mortal sword then bursts out in tears ♥ when the hell did she have time to get tessa a new wardrobe ♥ “it’s my plan now” ♥  mother

-sooooo many mentions of the chain of gold/iron/thorns/flowers dickens quote in these books

-nate is the worst so long clown bye bye

#what a mess of fucking words i have written here #i wish my name was aloysius #the chain of thorns chapter name 'old voices' makes me think its gonna be something with the tid gang #5 chapters into the cp2 audiobook it's crunchtime baby #i want to re-read all the penultimate hours too #what's a girl to do #cassie has fully given up promo for CoT she is over it!! #meg re-reads #thoughts etc

Quantum Leap (2022) 1x11: Leap, Die, Repeat

Spoilers: Yup

Reactions/Commentary Below The Cut

Oh right! Robert Picardo is in this one!

WOOLSEY?! LIKE STARGATE ATLANTIS?!?! HE'S PLAYING ANOTHER WOOLSEY??!! Ok, whever hired him absolutely watched SGA

----

Oh thank FUCKING god it isn't a straightforward time loop episode. That would have been so goddamn boring. And it makes sense that the writers wouldn't do this, they clearly know their sci-fi, and they knew their audience probably would too. Ok, good on them!

----

Oh, "if you're struck by lightning, you're more likely to be struck again." That makes sense given some things I've heard. Must do some weird charging shit to your body. Fascinating!

----

Ben's gonna knock out being all sorts of people this episode.

----

So, someone in the elevator did it, but they all died, eh?

----

Well that soda spill will be important.

----

Wait, she's "been mourning him since he leaped, but didn't feel it until today"? Seriously? That's how they phrased that? She should have said she didn't realize it until today, or she didn't let herself feel it until today.

----

I still can't believe someone thought of putting Magic into the show. That was really cool. And they are definitely repeatedly saying they hope Scott changes his mind and comes back.

----

Oh, even more than a non-normal time loop episode, it's a semi-time loop episode. Okay.

----

He used the same book? Ugh, convenient. Knew that actor would be playing the bad guy. Should have called it earlier. I mean it just know because of the actor.

----

So, why did her mother not want her involved? Was she just scared? Probably.

[houseoforange]

Nearly four years ago, a wildfire raged through Woolsey Canyon in Southern California, forcing people to flee from their homes, and I even remember a story about a woman named Laci Ping who reunited with her [minimally injured] house cat named Mayson after he fled from his own home while she and her family were evacuating. There were lots of stories like Mayson’s at the time, and I guess the animal angle really hit me in the feels because when I saw this photo posted by Wally Skalij for the Los Angeles Times of an owl resting on the beach, likely after a long journey away from the Woolsey fires, too, I had to repost it, wordlessly, just too sad about the state of their little corner of the world.

Sometimes these posts show up in my “memories” on Facebook, but this one has stuck out in my mind ever since then; it didn’t show up in my “memories” today, for instance. I can sense a stunned look in his eyes. I hope he’s OK wherever he is. I don’t wanna turn this post into a diatribe about how human beings generally suck, which they do, so I’ll leave it at that.

Anyway, I guess we’ve been lucky this season not to have too many wildfires because I haven’t seen any significant stories about disasters out on the west coast. Fingers crossed, eh?

cw - fire (aven’s sad abt camp again)

my sleepaway camp burned in 2019 bc of the woolsey fire, the next year we relocated to a collage, then covid hit and then we went to the mountains.

2018 was the last year i felt like camp was a home. people were so mean to me when i came out in 2019, and then in 2021 it was ok, i had friends but people didn’t really like me, 2022 my only friends were 2 years younger than me.

it just hit me that i’m never going to feel that again, that i took it all for granted. that i should have savored my time at the original camp because even if their rebuilding it won’t be the same. the upper camp was ok, very minor affects of the fire, the lower is unrecognizable. i was at the lower camp. it’s not my home anymore. i want it back so badly it’s hurting.

[thechangeling]

Ok so a conversation @littlx-songbxrd and I were having made me remember something I was ranting about to a friend of mine once.

Brace yourselves this is going to be long. I'm sorry.

The sexism, homophobia and racism of the shadoworld straight up doesn't make sense and here's why. So if we start chronologically with the infernal devices. There is sexism towards Charlotte right? People don't want her running the institute and they don't want her becoming the consul because she is a woman. But the Clave has no problem letting women train and fight. This doesn't really make sense in my opinion.

Now you could argue that it's because they believe woman can be string capable fighters just not rational thinkers. Which is weird because in my experience you don't meet a lot of people who are "partially sexist" in that way. Like if a man believes a woman can't do high profile, high paying jobs then they usually also don't want them in the military. Anyways moving on, there aren't any mentions of homophobia in TID, mostly because they're arent any queer characters except Magnus and Woolsey.

But something interesting to point out is that none of the characters who know about Magnus and Woolsey ever comment on it really. And following this point, none of the mains display any signs of misogyny either really. (Except for what Will says to Tessa at the end of CA but that was because of the "curse.") You could argue that this is because they're the protagonists so they are supposed to be better then that. But accidental microaggressions are pretty common especially during that time period. More on that later.

Moving onto racism, this is the interesting part. Jem says to Tessa that shadowhunters believe that you are a shadowhunter first and your nationality or eace second. Actually Jem doesnt mention race but he says this while talking about being half Chinese so it's kinda relevant. Shadowhunters rarely tall about race throughout the books in general except for a few instances. When Jessamine criticizes Jem to Tessa, she calls him a foreigner and says some other racist shit that I can't really remember. Something about the yin fin and calling him lazy. That directly contradicts Jem's statement about them all being shadowhunters first. Also Will and Jem actually constantly talk about being Welsh and Chinese in the books so that statement is kinda bogus in general.

And if CC didn't want her mains being sexist or homophobic to show them as good people then why was it ok for both Jesse and Gabriel to say questionable shit about Jem? Anyways moving on to TLH. Sexism is still running rampid with their cultural customs and people being shitty about Charlotte being consul. Bots have to ask the girls to dance, girls cannot have sex before marriage or else they will be ruined or whatever you know the drill. But again, they let the girls fight. Cordelia is allowed to carry around a giant ass sword but she can't get some????

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE CASSANDRA!!!!!

Sorry I'm losing it. Anyways. Regarding racism. Alastair and Cordelia have experienced micro aggressions from the mains (Matthew and Anna) but it's never addressed. I'm pretty sure if memory serves, the inquisitor makes a nasty comment under his breath about persians when the Carstairs family sans Elias arrive. And then we have the whitewashing of Ariadne/Kamala by her parents.

But none of this stuff ever gets brought up really. Exceot for Kamala talking about her past and who she was before and sharing her original name, but she still doesn't talk about how it effects her potential coming out. Alastair doesnt mention race when he talks about the bullying he went through at the academy and none of the white characters ever stop to think about how Kamala and Alastsir's races play a part in their crappy situations.

There's probably more I could discuss with this but I'm moving on to homophobia. It's a thing in terms of the heteronormativity and people's judgement of Anna but it's not illegal like in mundane societies at this time. But all of the mains are totally cool with it which brings me to, I'm sorry but fucking bullshit! There is no way every single adult would be totally fine with it in this time period. Like I'm not saying outright homophobia but maybe some questionable comments you know? (CC is perpetuating this idea that good people never commit microaggressions which is untrue and harmful.)

I don't think there's any mention of whether or not gay marriage is allowed in the shadowhunter world at this point. Because the issues surrounding Magnus and Alec getting married were about Magnus being a warlock right? Because Helen and Aline got married before them in TFTSA because she was only half fae. So that brings me to when was gay marriage legalized in the shadow world?????

Is there any mention of this because I don't think there is? Anyways moving onto TMI. This is where everything goes to absolute shit in terms of world building with the standards for these things. Misogyny isn't really a problem in tmi anymore from what I remember. Nobody has issues with Jia as consul (from what I remember,) and that's that. But homophobia is still rambid throughout shadowhunter society so much so that Alec is terrified to come out because he believes that he can't be gay and be a shadowhunter in peoples eyes. Also there is pressure to "carry on the family name" which doesn't make sense because if the sexism has died out then women can have babies with whoever and not even be married and carry on their family line. And not everyone needs to have children, ergo there is less pressure on the sons to carry on the family name or whatever. This also doesn't make sense because homophobia literally cannot exist without sexism!!!!

This is because of colonial gender roles being forced on society. And men being with men and women being with woman totally smashes the whole gender roles, "woman do this and men do that" idea. There's more that I could say on that but this is already so freaking long so please just look it up. And speaking of gender roles it's literally mentioned that Maryse didn't teach Izzy to cook because she didn't want her to be forced into a housewife role like she was (although there's no evidence to suggest she was?) But then Maryse is lowkey homophobic?

It doesn't make sense Cassandra!!!!!

CC doesn't get that you literally don't have homophobia or transphobia without sexism. Indigenous societies pre-colonization didn't care about any of that stuff. Literally two spirit people were revered and respected and no one gave a fuck about gender until my ancestors literally came along and ruined everything. (I'm so sorry.)

But anyways there's no mentions of racism amongst the shadowhunters in tmi. Just Maia talking about her experiences with mundane society as a black girl. When Clary confronts Valentine and basically calls him a n*zi, he laughs at her and basically says that shadowhunters don't see race the way mundanes do which yikes @ CC. Granted this was 2007. This kind of sounds like what Jem said in TID. Only it clearly wasnt true.

Anyways I'm just super confused at this point. In TDA there was basically nothing in terms of all the isms and phobias. (Oh we arent even discussing ableism because my fucking head will explode!) But we do discuss transphobia a bit with Diana. But again it doesn't make fucking sense because transphobia exists because of sexism and clear gender roles (and homophobia.)

Society is still shown to be pretty heteronormative though which I guess makes sense but the Blackthorns have multiple queers in their family! You would think that they would be less so. When Livvy mentions all the reasons that Annabel could have a forbidden love she doesnt even think to mention that it could be a lesbian relationship. When Mark finds out that Jaime was in Dru's room he freaks out but I guarentee you, he wouldn't have if Jaime was a girl. I mean you could argue that it's an age thing and not a gender thing but idk. That scene always bothered the fuck out of me. Because Mark is literally half fae like why is he caught up on bullshit "boys and girls can't just be friends" hetero bullshit.

In QOAAD we see Dane Larksoear being sexist so randomly for no reason. Like it's so strange because CC literally created a caricature of a sexist villian with him. And it makes no sense because no one else seems to feel the way he does. Like Zara is basically the leader of the cohort right? And nobody gives a fuck. It makes no damn sense Cassandra!

And finally, why is the faerie world sexist with gender roles WHEN EVERYONE IS LITERALLY BISEXUAL AND THEY'RE FAERIES CASSANDRA!!!???? THEY'RE LITERALLY FAERIES WHY IS THERE A CONCEPT OF GENDER AT ALL CASSANDRA????!!!!

Ok lol now I'm done. Sorry this is so long. But yeah I'm so confused.

Tldr: CC's world building in regards to sexism, homophobia, racism and transphobia is very inconsistent and contradictory and it makes no damn sense.
