one of the things i’m taking away from this season is that rj seems to view women as porn categories and plot devices rather than fully realized people with interior lives of their own
what the FUCK are the writers on? genuinely?!?!?! what the FUCK are we doing? why is louis constantly getting trampled on and yet always the one apologizing?!?
What I find rather disturbing about the hate for her now they've been told to hate her is men were drooling over her when she was playing a child on HOTD. So much so they attacked the actor playing the adult version as a downgrade. I guess she aged out of fap material.
this is what bothered me the most, lestat over explaining why we are seeing a Daniel and Louis scene, the David Talbot thing, all the Armand fan boys and girls, Gabriella’s introduction. I could hear the writers over the characters
i’m also going to need everyone in the writers room to log off twitter tumblr instagram reddit ao3 so they can stop writing like they’re responding to fandom discourse and aiming for viral catty moment
Stunningly beautiful reflection on Frodo's failure to destroy the Ring:
"Frodo undertook his quest out of love – to save the world he knew from disaster at his own expense, if he could; and also in complete humility, acknowledging that he was wholly inadequate to the task. His real contract was only to do what he could, to try to find a way, and to go as far on the road as his strength of mind and body allowed. He did that. I do not myself see that the breaking of his mind and will under demonic pressure after torment was any more a moral failure than the breaking of his body would have been – say, by being strangled by Gollum, or crushed by a falling rock."
