The Sugar Bowl Contains The Trailer To Season 3.

Preach

psa that you can like moira without defending her actions and acknowledge that she is (arguably) the first truly evil villain with few to no redeeming qualities and still like her/find her interesting as a character

Idk how I feel about this

Daniel Handler (a.k.a Lemony Snicket) explains why he’s less involved with ‘Unfortunate Events’ on Netflix - The Boston Globe

The writer, who’ll appear at the Boston Book Festival on Saturday, says the breakup was amicable. Sort of.

Q. How have you enjoyed working on the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” TV series? Are you satisfied with how the show is going so far?

A. I’m always more interested in seeing what other people think. Right now, I’m kind of impatient because they’re finishing filming season two and they’re beginning to film season three, and I’m very eager to see some further edited drafts of the episodes, and I’m really curious to see what people think of them.

Q. How do you think the new seasons will be different from the first season?

A. It’s really hard to tell. I was very involved toward the end of the first season and the beginning of the second season and then less so now. That’s another thing: I was closer to the process as we were finishing the first season then I am now, and I’m curious to see how that goes.

Q. Why are you less involved with the show now?

A. I’m less involved because they asked me to be less involved (laughs).

Q. Was that amicable?

A. It wasn’t my idea (laughs). It’s amicable in that I don’t think anyone stayed up all night crying about it or sharpened their dagger and swore revenge. I was on a plane flying home from Vancouver, where I did a read-through of the scripts and kind of all the stuff we do early on in the season, and when I landed there was an e-mail saying, “We’d rather not have you involved at this point.” So that was surprising.

not easy being dead, based on this legendary scene

Doctor Strange in Avengers: Endgame

Idk why y'all dont talk about the vape queen Katara

quick which atla character would vape

Super happy for this, also I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees her as some sort of sorceress and i definately hope she gets a Sorceress skin next Halloween, probably as a counterpart to the witch of the wilds

Moira is the best Irish rep I’ve ever encountered

Alright hear me out. When Moira was revealed, I was super psyched to see that she was Irish, and not a stereotype whatsoever. Like, I genuinely spent a whole day practically in pure excitement because Blizzard had not only created Irish rep (a SERIOUSLY rare thing for us, aside from dopey background characters), but one who was based around true Irish culture. Rather than a drunken brute with a beer belly and wearing green all over- you know, the way media portrays us regularly- we got a character based on Genuine Irish Culture

This is PARTICULARLY prevalent in the Moon skin, which has numerous nods to Celtic culture- pagan symbols, a design mirroring common depictions of Irish deities such as the Morrigan or sorceresses such as Aoife, the wicked queen who transformed her stepchildren into Swans in the tale of the Children of Lir.

I really dig the concept of a sorceress themed Irish character with the power of genetics on her side, specifically because of the conscious effort Ireland as a country is making to have more and more science based jobs, specifically for women. It mightn’t have been intentional, but I wouldn’t be surprised!

These aside, however, there’s one thing that made me extremely happy, and ultimately left the impression that Blizzard had done a very good job with Irish representation: the fact that Moira is a Gaelgoir, or a fluent Irish speaker.

She’s got almost as many lines in English as she does as Gaeilge, in Irish. The reason this is such a big thing compared to, say, Sombra having so many Spanish voice lines is that Irish is very much so a language that’s struggling to survive and is slowly but surely dying. Ireland has a population of just under 5 million, and of those 5 million, only 70,000 people speak Irish fluently outside of the education system, and only 20,000 of those people speak it as their first language. 

By having Moira be clearly one of those 20,000, judging by how often she uses Irish- which is a hell of a lot more than anyone I’ve ever heard in my life, because we all speak English rather than Irish- Blizzard have given the Irish OW community something which means more than they could have possibly imagined- the first good piece of Irish representation that I’ve ever encountered, and for the first time ever: I feel truly represented! 

I guess you could say I’m not much of a patriot…

I just think they’re neat

Symmetra: I-I’m sorry, I’m having trouble processing this right now.

Sanjay: *hands her a pamphlet*
