25? 👀
25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
it's totally valid to call mha kinda sexist because it is but people who act like it's the most irredeemably misogynistic thing they've ever seen simply haven't watched a lot of anime.

sorry but i'm begging you guys to stop applying medieval standards to modern day asoiaf fics. the entire situation with cat and ned would be so different if it happened now because, well, there's a difference between hating innocent baby because your husband cheated and being distant towards your husbands child out of wedlock because he could potentially endanger your childrens lives. cat had every reason to fear jon. reducing her to evil stepmother that just can't hold her husband accountable in modern fics is so annoying to me.

Today's finds were crochet booklets from the 1940s and 50s. They are now shelved, awaiting the day I can get bags and boards to protect them. I also decided to move everything that I did yesterday to new shelves, because I'm indecisive but also had a better idea last night before bedtime. Doing that pretty much sapped my energy though, so I'm going to spend some time rewinding thread skeins before calling it a day.

really hate when ppl use irrelevant tags in hopes that more people will see a post. Main series asoi*f fanart tagged "ho*d" or the full show name, or "p*tyr x sansa" on a general sansa post, for example. Some of us block tags and we're not gonna see your posts if you do that ...

About how moving castle. I remember it adapted from a novel.And Howl Moving Castle is huge in the Animation or the anime fan. Basically everyone born from 1990 ish to 2000 (in my place , where i grow up) It was a very popular ghibli movie and in asia. Huge i think. And then Disney brought the license to have it dubbed in english.
To tell you how much Hayao Miyazaki valued his work, he send a Katana to Disney when they want to dubb Princess Mononoke. Disnye wanted to cut some part in Princess Mononoke but Hayao send the Katana and said 'no cut'. That is how much he value each animation, story and detail in his movie. Article said Disney producer wanted to softened down Princes Mononoke but Hayao wanted to keep this angsty and rage princess indentity.
Same goes Howl Moving Castle. He took his time to went to the original author of Howl Moving Caslte (she is english i think) and show her the movie before it was release to the public. You can tell this man is detailed when it come to handing his work.
Fun fact, Tolkien and Miyazaki both had experience live influence and affected heavily by war. Im sorry i dont remember exactly Tolkien if he was from WWI or WWII but i know Miyazaki experience tough live in WWII.
This movie play huge role in my life growing up in asia. And i feel when you say your experience reading disturbed when this famous work brought into Maas world.
I was sharing my thought on the Howl Moving Castle. I love LOTR too but was introduce to this masterpieces later in my life. And I love Aragorn the most. Tharanduil the second, hence my love for helion ig.
Yes, Tolkien fought in WW1, you're right about that and SO MUCH of what he experienced is interwoven in his stories.
When my (now 11) kid was a toddler and we met my now husband, he thought it was weird we didn't watch a lot television, and wanted to bond with her. So he introduced her to one of his favorite movies, Spirited Away. When I was growing up, we were like, POOR poor and I feel like everyone grew up watching movies and having experiences I didn't have until I was older and could go to my friend's house.
ANYWAY D still has this stuffed No Face plush she keeps on her bed. She tried to show it to baby P two months ago but P thought it was too scary (mr mb used to call D a haunted baby, she was such a spooky thing. An aside, since I guess today I'm being overly personal, but he worked nights for a while when we were dating and he'd set an alarm an hour early at 7pm each night to call and say hi and then read D a few pages from the Necronomicon (did I spell that right??) until she fell asleep. And now she checks out YA horror from the library).
I agree that it's jarring to see things you viscerally recognize put in another story, out of context but with enough imagery it's noticable. Like, clearly she loved it. I love it too. And I'm guessing it's fine since like, it happened and it's there, but it also pulls you out, and every time I see it I have to stop and like, reorient myself.
