I need the qrts saying we can't expect everyone to know our history to realize that should be the norm. I need colonizers to know their own fucking colonizing history.
Also this shit is often downplayed. It's so amazing for them that we speak their language as if it's beyond us.
Last night, two Americans asked me where I'm from. I said The Philippines, and they immediately asked, "how do you speak English so well? How did you learn English?" Usually I just ignore these things, but last night, I was very tired so I said...
the idea that there’s no money for the arts is a fallacy. it’s a direct, conscious choice to continue to defund cultural institutions and art forms. to strip the youth of the country of opportunity and further ostracise the underclasses. we’re in a cultural crisis.

The intelligent villain trope: He’s disciplined, educated, and principled. He likes beauty, classical music, and the fine arts. He’s an obsessive perfectionist who’s does evil in the name of altruism or justice.
I think this trope tells us that evil can lie right next to virtue:
Catelyn’s chapters specifically were one of the best but she was a villain because she’s not one of the fandom favorites. Cersei’s also, but since she’s the antagonist against the fan favorite, her POV is invalid.
Not going to sit here pretending to be shocked, y’all know why.
You mean the same fandom that skewed other story arcs and refused to use all their brain power to comprehend text and themes because they don’t like other characters? Idek lol.
Why are people so allergic to exploring the themes and importance of motherhood in F&B and ASOIAF as if being a mom is some sort of defect or character flaw?
