"For both bonobos and chimpanzees, the bodies of the dead evoke many emotions. Even if the process often begins with trauma and confusion, typically corpses shift to a liminal status; not alive, but equally not a lump of meat. They're more intensively manipulated than hunted animals, and carried for longer. In some – if not all – cases, the eaters must know what and who they're consuming. Cannibalism is very probably a powerful means by which individuals and groups process the impact not only of killings carried out on emotional impulses, but other deaths too. In other words, it's about grieving. [...] "Shift these scenarios to Neanderthals, and add into the mix their far greater cognitive sophistication, and lives that revolved around using lithics. Suddenly it's not difficult to envision how skills in carefully taking apart hunted carcasses might be transposed into a grieving process that involved butchery and cannibalism as acts of intimacy, not violation."

“It doesn't even make sense, if you think about it. It's the world's biggest joke. Our entire lives are set up around not dying, knowing all the while that it's the one thing we can't avoid.” — Rebecca Serle, When You Were Mine

The love which this anonymous young woman harbours for Maxim comes burning through. Which is part of the problem; her character is just too emphatic for a role requiring the very absence of intensity which Max longs for after the volatility of Rebecca. Also, although Olivier clearly allows the camera to favour Vivien, his performance is muted, somewhat uncommitted. That hint of doubt in his letters seeps into his playing. Much later he did admit: ‘The worst part of it was I really did not want her to get the part.’ He claimed that with the strain of their divorce worries and the European situation it was perhaps better ‘to have a little vacation from constant togetherness’ which seems special pleading considering that they had been apart for most of the past few months. Very possibly – and given his on-set coolness to Joan Fontaine, finally cast – he wanted Rebecca to be primarily his film; he was now a major star, with his brooding Heathcliff image dominating posters all over America, and might well have been reluctant to co-star with someone whose star-power after Gone With the Wind was released might match – or eclipse – his own. If Vivien sensed any of this, she kept quiet.

Gem that belonged to Black Diamond's court; one of the several spies in the various Diamond colonies, too important since she received a Pearl from Homeworld for her great guard work in posing as part of Pink's court until her shattering, passing into the hands of White. When Era III arrived, she adapted to Steven's rules and has been softening, now has a new form cause she was poofed by an accident; perhaps his Diamond will be surprised by what could happen if she continues to let herself go

TW: mentions of genocide, Zionism, and oppression

I said it before and I’ll say it again: white readers SUCK. What do you mean you don’t have to talk about Palestine or that fiction isn’t that deep??? You don’t have to talk about a genocide?????? You truly believe that authors aren’t putting their beliefs into their books???? Be freaking fr. Ppl tried to tell y’all months ago that Rebecca Yarros was pro-military and was trash at writing Black and Brown characters. Instead of listening to them y’all decided to jump them and use the age old excuse of “It’s not that serious! It’s just fiction!😑”. When ppl tried to tell y’all that y’all’s beloved SJM was a Zionist, also sucked at writing Black and Brown characters, and used Breonna Taylor’s murder to quite literally promote her book it was crickets. Y’all’s favs love to use the oppression of Black and Brown ppl and apply it to white characters,*cough* Margaret Atwood *cough*, but when it comes down to supporting us in real life y’all tuck your tails between your legs or have the audacity to blame us for being oppressed. There is no “BuT bOtH sIdEs ArE wRoNg!”. There is no staying neutral. Either you side with us or you’re against us. Point blank period! What happened to “If the Hunger Games were real I’d stand against the capital”??? What happened to that? Y’all are nothing but talk and you’re cowards. If you can’t look at a book and it’s contents critically then something is wrong. Books are a piece of media for a reason.

Always lowkey simmering a Leverage AU in the back of my head hear me out:

Ted is an ex-insurance investigator who was able to get his son life-saving medical treatment because his first, original Crime Pal Beard was like ‘Ted if your company doesn’t come through with the coverage, we’re doing things my way.’

The company did not come through. The company did let him go due to suspicion of Ted’s involvement in the incident, but Ted will happily remind folks that no charges were formally pressed. Henry is alive and healthy and living with Michelle, who divorced Ted shortly thereafter (not just because of pre-existing marital problems, but because Ted wouldn’t tell her anything about why the doctors “””suddenly decided to do the procedure for free”””). Shortly thereafter, Ted fled the country.

What Ted learned from the whole experience is that there’s a lot of people out there, good people just trying to live by the rules, but sometimes things happen that are just out of their control. And well- if we’ve got the means to help the good people out when no one else will, then shouldn’t we try?

“We’ve got means,” Beard agrees. “And motives.”

They do things Beard’s way now.

#also Rebecca is a grifter who gave it up when she married into money and her name(s) echo mysteriously through the back alleys of London #“did you hear about this Secret Princess Lydia who went missing in the 90s?’ ‘yes Ted that was me’ #the woman is constantly dodging every half-told lie she made on a lark twenty years ago but she is amazing at keeping them straight #and Roy- Roy long ago took an injury that ended his career as a footballer before it started #and he fell into a bad spot as a hitter #and then he fell into a worse spot #and then he dug himself out for his neice that no one knows about (see: everyone knows about think mafia kid no one is allowed to touch her) #the problem now is he’s getting old #the hits hit harder and his speed isn’t what it used to be #(Roy Kent’s slow is still leagues beyond what these young wannabe punks can do these days) #keeley! she is a sneak thief. very charming. tiny. great with repelling down sides of buildings #loves money and shiny rocks and thinks Rebecca is the bee’s knees #and then there’s Jamie who is a 24 year old hacker with gaudy taste no knack for accents and a problem with authority #in this au him and ted have basically split Nate’s backstory #Ted’s dad took him to bars and taught him little tricks and mind games- nothing fancy just stuff an HR person might know #meanwhile Jamie’s dad took him to shady deals in bars because his dad was a fixer who’d put bad guys in touch with each other #jamie keeps a tracker running on his laptop with his dad’s whereabouts at all times #unfortunately he didn’t think that anyone else would bother looking for him- he’s not exactly a big time crook #but Ted and his crew have pissed off Rupert Mannion who is big time and who wants to hit back at Rebecca for making a fool of him #and Mannion’s people have identified that the way in to breaking their little crew is through Jamie #who’s name sounds so ridiculous people have assumed it was fake this whole time #anyways #thanks for reading #I will likely never write this but boy I have ideas 💡 #leverage au #ted lasso #jamie tartt #roy kent #keeley jones #rebecca welton

"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again..." Ancient, beautiful Manderley, between the rose garden and the sea, is the county's showpiece. Rebecca made it so - even a year after her death, Rebecca's influence still rules there. How can Maxim de Winter's shy new bride ever fill her place or escape her vital shadow? A shadow that grows longer and darker as the brief summer fades, until, in a moment of climatic revelations, it threatens to eclipse Manderley and its inhabitants completely...

there is no denial in the fact that reading is a frorm of excapism, but till what point of escapism it can reach?

many would say that we should separate the art from the artist but it actually possibe?

i personally think not, if an author is alive this separation cannot be done. authorts, no matter how high the fantasy is, still put a lot of their ideologies and moralities in their works, that can be seen both as a good but as a bad thing too. and this is a fact that cannot be changed.

in my previous post i talked about sjm, that i do actually do not support, (i borrowed her books, out of curiosity, it should have remained that, a curiosity) but i wanted to put out what i thought, becuse there are things that need to be said.

no author is untouchable.

and well, if you felt offended by that, then i guess this is more of a you problem, i truly do not care. (so i will erase your comment. this is my space, i write what i want)

not only for her writing, but for her ideologies, that are so datated and wrong, and a more recent thing (not so recent, but for recent events, is better to put it out again) she's a z*ionist so if there is not a major reason for you to stop supporting her i guess you should think more about yourself. (if you wnat to know more about other authors to not support becuse of this belief of them, this creator as a whole thread)

not caring who the author is, where they come from and their ideology is wrong, people say that they read for escapism, and is it really then if for this escapism others get harmed from it?

those authorts, who are alive, breath and live like us, use the money of those who support them to contribute in the perpetuation in harming those, who differently from us, a lot of times do not even posses a way of escapism.

and in their writing there could be the continue use of harmful sterotypes and ideologies, that are actually really easy to fix, but again it falls in the question: do they really want to improve of they add diversity not becuse they mean it, and because well, those are fantasy book, so there the diversity should be the fondation, but only to chek them out and say that they did; nor becuase they mean it and it's needed but only to make count.

i am so tired of those authors who does the bare minimun and get so much praises; beause then, they are those who create standards, and becuse their works are mediocre, the works that are not, are not understood, dimmed down and ignored.

beacuse now, everyone only care about smut, tropes, finding the next "book boyfriend"

making every fmc bland and "not like other girls", with no goals, no depth, no reasoning whatoever, only becuase she need to be a lent used to make the readers fall for the mmc, or so called "book boyfriends"

and those book boyriends, are really something. every single one of them is the same, whether is it for appearance or perosnality, becuse they do not actually posses any, so there is not raelly much to work with

tropes do not make books, they are only part of them, you cannot bulid a book around them, coming naturally as you write.

we lost the charcaters a, the plot and the world (in case of it being a fantasy) beacuse of this.

an easy exemple coud be that now the enemies to lovers are no more enemies to lovers, becuse not possessing personalities the whole enemy part is not a thing, but so is the romance; and there is no natual mutation from enemies to lovers.

beacuse they are solely sexually attracted to one another, they do not exchange any dialogue that would make the other try to understand the others point of view. this is again because not possessing a personality is impossible to archive.

because talking, require a personality, likes, dislkes, flaws , goals and interests.

smut, is not essential to validate a relationship, and if you think so, then read erotica, this genera exist for this purpose.

so asking under every single post, of every single book if there is smut in it, it's out of place; especially if those books are YA.

romance and smut should not be required to make a book worth reading; they should not be seen as the standard to pick up a book.

because of it i feel that many people lost the chance to find books that they woud absolutely love.

and this whole obession with smut, as made many women miserable, how can you as a grown adult thirst like that? they're fictional yes, but going under post of men, at times minors too, and acting like horny teenagers, is really disgusting.

many women hate how man thirst over them and are extremly persistant in sexualluy assulting them, but this thing they do is not much different from what those men do to them.

so how can you hate on soemone and than turn around and do the exact same thing?

this not only for that, even in books, men are extreamly sexualised to the point of being revolting. if it was a female charater described like that by a guy everyone would lose it, but since it's not, well i guess it's fine, isn't it?

then, the rapresentation of this relationships, borderline abusive. this is not soemething to aim for, not something to want and wish to have.

and using the excuse of it being a dark romance is ridiculous, they are dark romances for the themes not becuse the fmc is constantly in the hand of abuse and abusers. the mmc shouldn't be the one to casue those harms, he should be the one to help them go through those things, the one they relay on.

i wish writers would actually love the work they do, putting actual effort in it, and not only doing it for the money; of course, money are part of it, but not all.

writing is an art, and as one it requires time and passion.

and i wish readers could do better, becuse those are not only books.
