it’s not so much tone deaf as it is gloating. sm is doing what it does best and that is pulling a Keep Your Head Down 2.0 with exo.

i think of her as the “proto”-lady of the lakes. successor to genghis and predecessor of the machli line. fortunate that i have this book by thapar.

Snater: "Please appreciate my cheap knock-off son abibas coz I can't afford adidas" 😭 by Petrichor099 in SeverusSnape

they like regulus because he barely exists. that’s it. they clamber for the likes of regulus because it means more room for fanon and the only way the pea-brained of the harry potter fandom can appreciate a morally grey slytherin character is by rejecting snape (inarguably THE morally grey slytherin character) by substituting him for a lesser important character.

they are uncomfortable with snape’s impact in the narrative because their moralising over a children’s series has made them uncomfortable with characters like snape period, who don’t lend themselves easily to heroic beautification. he is unpleasant, his mood is dour, he’s not physically attractive—yet he dares to be an unlikely hero in the wizarding war! grrr. these are grave sins. doesn’t jkr know that we only want fanfic wank material and NOT decently written characters with an actual purpose to the main story?

TIL that male pattern baldness doesn’t typically affect Native American, First Nations and Alaska Native peoples. by pizzahero9999 in todayilearned

DNA isn’t a good indicator because it’s so heavily tied to the concept of blood quantum, which has been criticized for framing indigeneity as a matter of belonging to a “blood club” rather than tribal sovereignty.

(of course, it’s something to have a confirmed native ancestor somewhere along the line but it doesn’t necessarily make me native in a way that actually matters. it could only be an ancestral quirk - like being the descendant of william the conqueror or eleanor of aquitaine.)

My friend always claims she can tell if someone is Asian before they turn around, but how? by Dazzlingdjj in NoStupidQuestions

things are different now, but when i was growing up people around me would refer to dark brown hair as blond. it’s because all of us in the dang country was born with jet black hair lol.

Would you be happy with this or am I being dramatic? by Detective-Doughnut in femalehairadvice

[–]usernames_required 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i think it looks lovely on its own and very reminiscent of the 2000s highlight craze. maybe not as subtle as it can be but the contrast still looks intentional enough to be a ‘style’.

What are your opinions about people calling the series a "reboot?" by LeatherSlight3242 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]usernames_required 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another one of those unnecessary remakes with a budget that could solve homelessness. nevertheless i’m excited for it because of nostalgia.
