Bonjour-itsame - Lower Ur Expectations

Thinking about the discussion on Haymitch's hair in the movies vs books recently...

Both stress and alcoholism can change your hair color, though usually to white/gray

Just an interesting possible explanation that could be used! They could even say that his hair was colored blond not only for the social standards but to cover up that he was going gray so early in life

i know i said i’d shut up about acotar but i’ve never seen a fantasy society so primed for a populist revolution as the night court. all the wealthy merchants and artists are from one single city while a disenfranchised rural population is expected to provide the armies and die for them without seeing any of that wealth? not to mention the fact that the wealthy city elite don’t have to go to war? “oh nooo our greatest threat is koschei the deathless sorcerererrrr” your greatest threat is your citizens discovering class consciousness.

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!

SO APPARENTLY ALL OF THE SHADOWHUNTERS IS BASED OFF OF AN I*CEST FIC OF THE WEASLYS?? HOW DID I NOT KNOW BUT ALSO LIKE ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER the goblet of fire and adamas (which is what the mortal cup is also made of) are described as virtually the same material the mortal sword and gryffindors sword the family similarities • the fairchilds ——>the weaselys • the morgensterns ———> the malfoys (which explains why jaces attitude is all “i’m an ass even though everyone sees i just dont care that much about being an ass as i pretend” cause he was brought up/taught by what is essentially an actually competent at being a bigoted dick version of lucius malfoy) -first impression jace ——-> first impression draco mallory -same pretentious dick vibe but jace has growth while malfoy kind of... festers • the lightwoods ———> the potters • HENRY BRANWELL ——> ARTHUR WEASLY • THE WHOLE DEAD TWIN THING bigoted cults ⁃ valentine ——> voldemort ⁃ robert lightwood ——> snape in the sense that he turns out in the end to be just chill enough for some characters to forgive but is still.. ⁃ hodge starkwether (the traitor tutor) ——> petittigrew ⁃ sebastian/jonathan morgenstern ——> what draco thought he was ⁃
