I just read your response about how the Erin's didn't realise the colonialism themes of DOTC and now I'm wondering if it's because they're British - a big fucking colonialist country

I am also British and I have seen first hand how watered down the empire's negative consequences are in schools. I still remember being told, "the only ones that weren't having a great time were the slaves." when in reality no-one but the British was having a good time

It's unthinkable that the fact they are White British Authors of a Certain Age didn't contribute to it. Like... that's just how culture works, even if it somehow wasn't at all related to their formal education. It influences how you think.

(Also as an aside, even most of The British didn't like the whole empire thing. 3/4ths of Britain isn't England. 2024 is still young, come on guys, be hilarious)

I can't ENTIRELY pin this one on you guys though, the writers are English but their biggest audience is American. And the Americans also predictably failed to catch the themes. ALSO a big colonialist country.

(I happened to get a really good education though, especially for a public school. I don't know if My Fellow Americans even learned about the Whiskey Rebellion or the Banana Wars)

It's also hard to explain it, but the Erins also have a very British way of writing fat people. There's overlap between them, but Brit and American fatphobia has two 'trends.'

American fatphobia tends to frame weight as being funny, pathetic, and a sign of a lack of discipline. English fatphobia tends use it to make a villainous or annoying character appear even more vile, greedy, and unhygienic. American media has also had a stronger trend of body positivity lately, whereas I'm having a hard time even thinking of overweight English characters who are not mocked for their size.

These are just the two things I've noticed though. I'm sure there's more noteworthy trends about WC that's influenced by its authors coming from where they do.

#Sometimes hearing about another country's propaganda is so vile you have to laugh #Yeah we were all havin a laff under the British Empire #We had such a laff that we all picked an annual day to look back on it and remember The Good Times #The Americans loved the king so much we turned the Boston harbor into a big teapot to celebrate him 🫖 #Bone babble #Fatphobia #Colonialism #Racism

"what kind of law did astarion pass to piss off the gur so much 😂"

aside from the fact magisters don't pass laws, the implication that cazador was just kind of casually waiting around for his moment bc knew astarion was Such a dickhead that someone was going to beat his ass to death eventually is extremely funny

#baldur's gate 3 #i mean i'm ASSUMING they're going off a more olde/british-centric definition of magistrate ie basically a legal administrator of an area id #since i don't think cazador would turn someone actually powerful/well known into a spawn for Obvious Reasons #magistrates aren't lawyers or judges + don't go to law school + don't attend to serious criminal matters. but maybe i'm wrong who knows #anyway it seems fairly established that cazador has been manipulating/targeting/toying with the gur in the area for a long time #he was very particular abt his spawn and getting what he wanted so i seriously dont believe he would leave anything to chance At All #but him just lurking in alleyways waiting for someone to finally just get sick of astarion's shit tickles me. #like hmm i COULD concoct a nefarious plan to snare him but the guy's just so damn murderable why bother

[cosmicrhetoric]

unseen academicals was my first practical introduction to crab theory/crab mentality ("if i can't have it neither can you") and it makes me so fucking crazy so crazy it's SO crazy to realize that you're the person who is limiting and hurting someone you truly love because you want to keep them safe and your status quo is the only safety you know. the fact that the book relates that back to model minority theory is also crazy. the other fact that the tip glenda uses to bake pickled onions into pies while keeping them fresh and crunchy actually works is also also crazy

#sorry if the pie thing was common knowledge im not british but i did try it a while ago and it worked. yaaay. #like as someone in log kya kahenge generation..........glenda was such a crazy character to read. esp cause she literally say it #she SAYS what will the neighbors think. THEE character for women who are trying not to turn into their mothers #like her yelling at margolotta like how could you make him think he's inherently worthless and the realizing what she's been doing to juliet #unseen academicals #discworld #terry pratchett #glenda sugarbean

"And you wouldn't believe the sums this child can do. I've started just plucking random high numbers from the air to see what she can handle - I don't even know if her answers are correct!" laughed Margaret.

Thomas grunted, "I don't see why you're putting all this effort in. The girl's of the Pure Faith. Their lot don't do with maths or science. They do marriage and child-bearing in their stuffy black outfits."

"Her mama knows what I teach," disagreed Margaret. "I think even followers of the Pure Faith know that education matters."

"Mark my words, the only use her mama has in mind for her is adding money to the family coffers."

Margaret shook her head and stood, walking across the room. "How can you speak so callously about a child?"

"I'm sorry - that was unnecessary. I'm just tired of you harping on about those girls. You'd think they were the Watcher's Gift to Earth with the way you talk about them."

"They are the Watcher's Gift to me," Margaret replied. "They've brought me company and joy - two things I haven't had from you in some time."

"I'm here now, aren't I?"

"Only because your gambling debts have you barred from every card table in Tartosa," Margaret replied bitterly.

"If you increased my allowance, I wouldn't have any debts," replied Thomas angrily, leaning into Margaret and pressing her against the dresser.

Margaret laughed sarcastically, pushing Thomas back. "And watch you pour more of my family money into the sea? I think not."

"Argh, why must you be such a controlling madame?"

"Why must you be such a wayward drunkard?"

The two of them stared each other down, each breathing heavily from their anger. Then, within seconds, they grabbed at each other and began to kiss passionately.

fundamental amrev experience is being assigned the legend of sleepy hollow as required reading in your highschool english class and freaking out A. because it's by washington irving, who was discussed extensively in that one nancy isenberg essay about aaron burr's sexuality, and B. because it Won't Stop Talking About John André, who, of course, is john andré

#everyone raise a glass to john andré #reading tlsh while watching turn was actually such an experience #it's so fascinating? how much of an impact he and his death had on american culture #especially because yk. he was british. and turned benedict arnold who the average american does Not like #something soooo fascinating about arnold being demonized and andré being glorified #which i'm sure was in no small part to be arnold being entirely unpleasant to be around and andré being like #everyone's favorite guy ever #choose your fighter: #ben “i can recall no instance where my affections were so fully absorbed in any man” tallmadge #marquis “i made the mistake of allowing myself to acquire a true affection for him” de lafayette #alexander *writes a 3000 word letter to laurens about how much he loved andré* hamilton #and more #and yeah just. #the fascination that tlsh makes clear people had with him #is SO interesting to me sorry idk. that's america's favorite brit right there #also. washington irving never beating the gay allegations idk #the achilles and patroclus mention was crazy #john andré #john andre #benjamin tallmadge #ben tallmadge #marquis de lafayette #alexander hamilton #i probably should have written all that in the actual post and not in the tags but.

^ guys who have problems

#usually i make rational decisions but when all else is on the table #i will turn to the worst side possible if it means helping anyone else #pokemon #my art #pokemon mystery dungeon #i contemplated not taggign this but i think its funnier if i tag it all the time #pmd #idk what i tag stuff w already #luwel #mike #keith #im not species tagging this time. not this time . anyways i think its funny just. #the idea of ppl seeing the first image and going “oh its just because theyre both nuzleaf right. nothing else” #no. unfortunately no. every day i wake up and realising i recreated spmd nuzleaf but i made him british instead and its so funny to me #like in so many different ways. this is just like every time i tried to do smth with tepopo and i realised i was just remaking giroro but o #but orange instead. i cant help it #anyways i love firing my laser beam towards my ocs that makes them go #this part isnt related to psmd at all i just think luwels a bit fucked up. in many ways

My gf was listening to "White Blank Page" by Mumford and Sons and I once again told her that song is SO much better if it's gay.

She doesn't listen to the lyrics of songs but she's extremely good at literary analysis and this time she actually looked up the lyrics and has now come to the following conclusion: "It makes no sense if it's not gay."

My (objectively best) reading is this:

The narrator was in love with a guy who strung him along, never willing to be in a committed (or public) relationship with him and maybe insisting that it's extremely heterosexual "helping a bro out" sex, except in more intimate moments. Finally out of nowhere guy is suddenly committed to a woman and when Narrator confronted him, guy spat out homophobic vitriol and claimed he's not gay like the Narrator.

(For extra flavor imagine them as closeted, straight passing Midwestern flannel wearing, love-bonfires-and-camping guys who sat next to each other at church and elbowed and annoyed each other like best friends do and were each other's go-to source of emotional support! And then to suddenly shut Narrator out for the first time ever, by abruptly marrying a woman and insisting that he's always been straight and their relationship meant nothing...)

Here are the lyrics:

Can you lie next to her And give her your heart, your heart As well as your body? And can you lie next to her And confess your love, your love As well as your folly? And can you kneel before the king And say, "I'm clean! I'm clean!" ? But tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with my whole heart? Oh, tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with my whole heart? A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage You did not think When you sent me to the brink, to the brink You desired my attention But denied my affections, my affections So tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with my whole heart? Oh, tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with my whole heart? Lead me to the truth and I Will follow you with my whole life Oh, lead me to the truth and I Will follow you with my whole life

Why call multiple people "you" in a totally unclear way? Why would you claim that your female ex's new man can't love her AT ALL (not just as much as you did, AT ALL)? And invoking the judgment of God is so fucking tedious if you're just shaming your female ex for moving on or even cheating/getting with your friend. Also you look like a creepy asshole if you think a girl broke up with you for "loving her too much".

This song is tepid, badly written, and makes the narrator look like an asshole if it's NOT gay.

The gay reading is the ONLY compelling one.

#i don't even care about m/m romances lmao i get bored when there's no women BUT #this is objectively the best reading #anyways my gf and I came up with the main beats for an entire romance story about these guys #as a dyke raised in the church i really like the religious midwestern reading here too #also there's SUCH a phenomenon of guys having secret sex out in these rural areas and insisting even to themselves it's not gay #so this reading is very compelling to me #i also like to think the woman is like fine. there's nothing wrong with her she's sweet and friends with both of them. #gf said what if she's Narrator's sister? #like i think it's better narrative wise if the woman has no idea and isn't trying to 'turn him straight' #bc the ex CHOSE this. he caved and all so he can stand before God and insist he's 'clean' #which to me... very very resonant #updates on my boring life #also I think the ex can be either bi or gay like it doesn't matter because either way Narrator is convinced ex loves HIM still n not wifey #god i could go line by line but no one wants that lmao it's extremely funny that i fixated on this #i did not even know it was a mumford and sons song or that they are british until gf told me both facts today #i am in no way a fan #im jsut a sucker for religion flavored gay angst i guess or at least this variety of it
