Nina 🤝 Leslie

oh Rhysand I will see you in HELL. Believe that.

(mind you, he continued to keep many more secrets after this quote in ACOMAF 🙃🙃)

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

aidas would be so unimpressed and underwhelmed the comedy potential

Personally I can’t wait for Aidas and Rhysand to meet.

learned about the ending 8 hrs ago and am throughly in the anger phase of the stages of grief cause i’m sorry but that feels so sinister to completely warp THESE messages from THIS STORY??? to be clear lilo and stitch (the rest of the franchise as well as the series) is a story about an indigenous woman whose lost her parents and desperately trying to make things work so her sister isn’t taken from foster care? and then they find communal support allows for lilo to not be taken and instead grow up in a loving AND safe environment… also the fact that jumba and pleakly + stitch are aliens highlighting that found family that isn’t always two parents and that’s ok like sorry this is actually such important points that set lilo and stitch apart as a franchise and to erase it all????!!!!!

One of the things that makes the family conflict in Lilo & Stitch work narratively is that Cobra is correct in that Lilo and Nani's current situation is non-sustainable. And yes, Nani is not prepared to handle everything by herself. But losing the custody is not the solution either, and to a degree Cobra seems to believe the same (he legit does not want that to happen), but if Nani can't solve the problem, then from his perspective it's the least harmful solution.

And the conflict is solved because what Lilo and Nani need (what they REALLY needed) is a support net. Someone, anyone to be there to take at least SOME of the burden from Nani and give her breathing room.

Which is why Jumba and Peakley joining the family alongside Stitch, and become a constant pressence who share the burden of the household, makes all the difference.

And this does not solve all the problems, because the movie is not about magically resolving those problems, it's about putting the characters in a situation in which they can move forward as a family. And for their desire to be a family and be together as a family, to be respected.

Anyway, someone told me what the remake did for the ending

it genuinely feels like there’s a physical barrier of cognitive dissonance regarding rhys’s aWeS0mE ruling strategies 🤪🙃🫠

Feyre: You have every comfort and yet it is not enough?

Court of Nightmare Women:

it’s almost as though media is meant to be viewed critically… and that’s not to say someone has to look at it from these angles (i think one of the things about sjm is that people can read as much or little into it as they want) but to then dismiss constructive conversation that views the content as a somethibg to analyze critically (like anything pop-culture is)….

SJM fans who go "It's just fiction." when you point out a flaw in her writing are a pain in the ass. When a author wants to write about fantasy, they'll take things from REAL LIFE to put into their stories. There are authors out there who will write their ideologies into their books and SJM is one of them.

Feyre dismantling the spring court out of petty revenge? Colonization.

The inner circle not allowing ANYONE from hewn city to enter Velaris and if they did, they would be treated horribly? Segregation.

SJM describing her POC as not striking, not beautiful compared to her main characters? Racism.

Hybern being based on Ireland and Prythian being based on Britian? The portrayal and demonization of Celtic culture? Do you know what the other name for anti-Irish sentiment is? Hibernophobia. That is a one letter difference.

"Hybern's geography closely resembles that of Ireland, while Pryhtian resembles Britain. Sarah J. Maas took inspiration from both countries to create the two locations." That's from the trivia section of the wiki page for Hybern.

The fae enslaving humans for hundreds of years? And Rhys has the audacity to say both sides are wrong.

I AM NOT AT FAULT FOR POINTING OUT THESE KIND OF THINGS. FANTASY CAN BE AND IS A REFLECTION OF REAL LIFE!
