Every time I see a FB friend proudly declare that they've silenced all mention of politics on the feed because it's all just negging, I'm sort of amazed that they think they're privileged enough not to have any of this affect them at all. Sure, the "get over it, it'll be fine" assholes are mostly white men, but the number of white women and MOC who ( Read more... )

Day 10

In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (More than one is okay, too.) Tell us about it, tell us why you love it, give us some examples and recs.

( Mutual pining and Mirroring )

Day 2

In your own space, share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life. Something that impacted on your consciousness in a way that left its mark on your soul.

My first couple of fandoms changed the way I interacted with media- instead of just consuming, I analyzed minutely; I created something back. The AN at the end of my first ( Read more... )

So this was going to be a straightforward squee post about Rogue One, which we saw yesterday.

( Spoilers galora. )

SUCH AN AMAZING MOVIE. I haven't been so moved by an animated film since Frozen, and the themes are arguably similar (the search for identity, the importance of family, perseverance in the face of monstrous defeat) and yet not (wanderlust as one of Moana's defining and redeeming character traits, the value of culture and history on one's personal ( Read more... )

Went to Tokyo for the long weekend to visit family, which was exhausting but good- makes me feel bad that we don't live closer. Still have loads of errands to run, but wanted to blurb a bit about TV now that I am not stuck on my phone! First of all:

Agents of SHIELD- 1x06 made me cry. OK SHOW, I NOW OFFICIALLY REALLY LIKE YOU.

[Spoilers for 1x06]OMG that resigned ( Read more... )

TVD 5x04

[Spoilers for 5x04]I agree with most of my f-list- last ep wasn't as awesome as the previous eps this season. Stuff I haven't said already in comments or on tumblr ( Read more... )

Well, I know you f-listers are mostly TVD-ers, but here are my thoughts on my other shows so far this fall:

Sleepy Hollow:
Why is this season only 13 eps? At least it got renewed already, but still- I will be sad when it goes in the winter! :(Things I love: ABBIE MILLS!!! Earnest but snarky, brave, curious and skeptical all at once. How awesome is ( Read more... )

Anybody else read this series? I just started on the first book and I'm already halfway through it- I like it. Very Wicked Lovely/Sunshine in atmosphere, although there is an annoying amount of exposition in things people say. Like i get that the author needs the reader to understand the background info, but why would one guy be explaining to his ( Read more... )
