you people will call any fictional man a slut. julian bashir is not a slut he’s just horny and desperate but DOES NOT PULL. fox mulder isn’t a slut he’s just a silly man who likes being bossed around. john constantine. well john constantine is a slut actually

femslash rarepairs save me

#honestly that might be my favorite kind of fanfiction #just like a pairing between 2 women that hardly anyone has ever considered but the writer develops it and fleshes it out and ur like woah… #syl posts

part of what delights me about the goncharov joke is the inconsistencies. because it’s not an actual movie, different people are imagining different versions of it. some posts claim katya dies, others claim she fakes her death and survives. some ppl say there was real passion between goncharov and katya, others say it was a loveless marriage. the outlines of the film are the same, but the details are different. i like to think that they’re all true. somehow, impossibly, everyone’s posts are accurate, even when they directly contradict each other. goncharov is large, it contains multitudes.

i saw a post floating around that provided a link to pirate the hundred years' war on palestine by rashid khalidi which like, fine, if that's the only way you can access that book i won't judge. but i would also encourage you to consider if you can request it from your local library, bc that shows the library that there is interest in books about palestine that are sympathetic to palestinians and critical of zionism. and if you can purchase the book, that shows publishers that publishing a book that is sympathetic to palestine is profitable. and that's a pretty big deal! the hundred years' war on palestine is actually on the new york times bestseller list right now, bc there is so much interest in this book at this current moment. that sends a message to publishers. so like pirate if you must, but know that library holds and book purchases do have a tangible effect

the problem with sorting fics by kudos, is that many people have bad taste

so tired of seeing goncharov fans on here being like “omg goncharov/katya/sofia polycule!! katya has two hands!!!” when the whole POINT is that katya CANT have both, she has to CHOOSE, and it’s ultimately left ambiguous whether or not she made the right choice……..like i get wanting happy endings for the characters but i feel like this kind of shallow interpretation of katya’s respective relationships with goncharov and sofia just cheapens the story!!!

i feel like people would take orientalism more seriously if they realized it’s not just about how it’s like “problematic” to draw link in that one outfit or whatever but is like a perception of asian societies and cultures that has very directly aided in the horrific atrocities of imperialism and colonialism and is still everywhere today. like it’s EVERYWHERE it’s in the stupid zelda video game it’s in your favorite sci-fi and fantasy franchises it’s in the way people discuss politics and culture and history and art. once you start seeing it you cant unsee it and i think if people started seeing it they would understand why it matters

the thing that you dont understand unless you have watched star trek the original series is that mr spock IS gay. i dont know who decided that this would be the case but it is. even in an episode where he kisses a woman its about him being gay. this isnt my opinion its simply the truth

the racism/orientalism/antisemitism/homophobia/general “fear of the other” in dracula is such an integral part of the text and i feel like you are missing so much of what dracula is about if you are not picking up on those overtones. i love dracula a lot but i don’t think there is any use in ignoring those aspects of it or pretending they don’t exist - in fact, i think that would show a very shallow understanding of the text. i don’t have any resentment towards ppl who are reading dracula daily and making silly little joke posts about their friend jonathan harker, i love to make those jokes as well, but i do hope that the experience of reading this novel helps some people understand the sheer xenophobia and bigotry that is at the heart of this novel and lots of other iconic horror fiction. i’ve learned not to underestimate the obliviousness of white gentiles but i hope people realize it is not random that count dracula has nebulous eastern ancestry and his plan is to take over england like i hope that does not go over your guys heads.

HATE that transmasculine zombie cole sprouse in lisa frankenstein is making me feel genuine emotions. i’m just like oh fuck……when she so tenderly sews his penis on him and he’s like solemn but also proud and happy…….its literally so stupid and ridiculous but also it’s played with such sincerity and seriousness

#and i love that she doesn’t even care if he has one but he wants it for him. trans affirming queen #lisa frankenstein #spoilers i guess #syl posts
