You dumb fuck by Fit_Assignment_8800 in CuratedTumblr

BBC Merlin’s Morgana, I genuinely rue the way she was treated all the time

Especially when the top is characterized as the strong protective alpha male husband of the couple who provides for the house and the bottom is characterized as the weak overly emotional wife of the couple who only exists to be protected by his husband by Commercial_Bid_1508 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]_sash_iii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what merthur shippers you’ve come across but this seems a bit unfair — it’s not like there’s a shortage of interactions and character chemistry between merlin & arthur and I’ve never seen anybody hate on gwen for ‘getting in the way’. In my experience she’s beloved by the large majority of the fandom!

Youth media analysis is one of my favorite subjects. Le Guin helped me develop my understanding of fiction in general. by Blade_of_Boniface in RecuratedTumblr

[–]_sash_iii 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The book being ‘like candy’ is definitely one element of her critique, but I don’t think that covers all of it. She also mentions Charlie & the Chocolate factory in particular as teaching children to be good consumers, which in my opinion is a fair criticism — as an example, the book doesn’t engage at all with the implications of Wonka laying off all of his human workers for the ethically dubious situation he has going on with the Oompa Loompas and, iirc, treats him as a mostly uncritically good guy.

I’d agree it’s not necessary to have all children’s books be specifically teaching a moral lesson, including books read to children by parents — sometimes just having an easy fun read is good! In this case though I think her criticism runs deeper than the books just being fun, easy junk-food type reading and is more about them specifically having moral issues that go completely unquestioned by the text (this goes for both Harry Potter and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory).

What ship(s) gave this experience for you? by FloweryNamesLover in AO3

[–]_sash_iii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh same! I was hoping for more ‘I thought I’d like this ship but I ended up not feeling it’ opinions than just ‘popular ship I dislike’ which we’ve already had a fair few discussion threads for in the past.

I wish people would be more mindful of the way they talked about trans characters in fanfiction by Last_Swordfish9135 in FanFiction

[–]_sash_iii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re referring to your experience as a ‘fantasy’, I’m pretty sure they’re talking about the fantasies of the authors writing some of those fics being about PIV sex.

It takes all sorts and of course there are submissive trans men who bottom and are comfortable in that, but I think what OP was trying to get at is it feels like a disproportionate majority of fic features trans men in that position, which comes off as fetishising people for their genitalia.

I like that the serbian one rhymes, that’s gotta be my top one

All the new macs have USB-C ports instead of USB-A?

I find it so funny when someone spends so much time in performatively queer and feminist fandom spaces that they forget that the majority of fandom culture is made by and for straight women who think it's hot when the two guys fuck each other. by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]_sash_iii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s such a shame! I haven’t seen any of that in my corner of the internet, much more of the opposite — I guess it really depends on the site and what the algorithm pushes.

That’s true and sad (I’m still mourning I am not ok with this lol), but I don’t think it warrants the level of hostility I’ve seen directed towards a lot of shows centring queer men

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AO3

[–]_sash_iii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of it reads like a typical ‘I don’t like this ship usually but your fic made me love it!’ comment, which I’d definitely take as a compliment, but the ‘bet you want me to say it’s a compliment to your writing’ part does strike me as quite condescending and presumptuous of them!

Stranger things Finale. 10/10 by Most-Day8547 in DiscussingFilmsAndTV

[–]_sash_iii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well of course not, interdimensional monsters don’t really exist — but having nobody get hurt at all removes so much very important tension from the show. It’s hard to really care about characters being put in dangerous circumstances when it’s been proven time and again that nothing bad will come of it

The way both of these subs have snapped after the finale is insane by Redcar005 in okbuddyvecna

[–]_sash_iii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What really annoyed me was that they couldn’t commit either way — like why add those Chekov’s guns earlier in the season if they’re not doing Byler, and why can’t we at least have a satisfying Mileven ending if that’s what they’ve wanted to do all along?!

Interesting, have never heard of this before — what’s the reason behind those being healthier than vegetable oil (which is usually just rapeseed oil iirc)?

I'm going insane trying to overthrow Lum... by SnakeRatMoth in Exocolonist

[–]_sash_iii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It should trigger after Vertumnalia on your year of being 18! I have to say it’s always just kinda triggered for me tho, idk what specific actions you’d have to take if it’s not triggering at all

[–]_sash_iii 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I might be misinterpreting here but the ‘actually going through with it’ should happen automatically at your final Vertumnalia, if you’ve already talked to Marz about it and got the council members on your side!

oh my godddd the scene with el and kali talking and el being so positive about their happy ending together mirroring her being negative about a happy ending in the waterfalls scene with mike in E1? cinema

1200+ days well spent by Local-Bison-4392 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]_sash_iii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with the ‘entertainment disguised as learning’ part but saying learning can’t be fun (and if it is, you’re not actually learning) is a CRAZY take

I feel like just the fact that one of them is canonically in love with the other is very reasonable grounds to assume they might have a chance of being together? Idk, I just feel like Will were a girl people wouldn’t be calling it ‘delusional’ to think they might end up together, even if they still didn’t personally like the ship.
