I am so tired of Philip Quast

I feel like a lot of the fans who cry that Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 in an unjustly neglected masterpiece, and that (insert more popular musical here) stole all the attention-! are overlooking one very important point:
Great Comet is a very strange work. Its structure and staging are highly atypical, the music is very nice but also a bit weird, and it's based on a chunk of War and Peace, for crying out loud! It was never going to be a surefire success.
And it still got TWELVE Tony nominations!

I've been getting into the Enid Blyton school novels again lately (Malory Towers and St.Clare's) out of nostalgia and noticed two things:
1. The in-universe and author sanctioned bullying is through the roof in those books.
2. They're super shippy.


(On another note: I also noticed that weird spinoff audio books for St.Clare's are still being produced in my country and I took a quick listen into one of the more recent episodes and ... Some of the voice actors are still the same as back in the 70s and damn do you hear that. It's very weird listening to much, much older women trying to sound like ~16 year olds...)

I hate to admit it, but I ship Ivanova more with Marcus than with Talia. I just, there was more chemistry to me, they had more screen time together, and Talia was just in general boring to me. I like Ivanova being bi. But if she was going to get a happy ending, I would prefer it with Marcus.

I have never been attracted to a Doctor before. Well, 8 a little bit. But 13 is really doing it for me, even just from the trailers. I kind of get now how other people were with 10 and/or 11 (and others). Luke, sexy and the Doctor just never clicked for me. I love his character. But hot? Want to do him? No. But her? Yes. And TBH that may be a big part of my excitement for New Who and why I'm totally ready for her even though it took me a little time with the other Doctors to be okay with someone new in the role.

I don't like it when people ask for recs and you give them some - especially when it's actually well thought through recs with reasons why they might like it and summaries and all- and there never is a reaction. I'm not expecting them to go and look the stuff up immediately but a short thanks just to know they registered it would be nice.

i don't dislike reylo because it's problematic or whatever other buzzwords people wanna throw at it, i dislike it because i was promised some super fucked-up hero/villain ship and what i found was the most boring and dull 'woman fixes whiny man-child' garbage instead.

ya'll are uncreative as fuck.

This is kind of an old gripe, because I haven't seen many of these posts in a while, buuuut...
I really don't like those Tumblr posts that are like, 'Imagine this incredibly fluffy scenario of love and acceptance, usually in a canon that's a little short on those!!! :3 :3 :3'
Especially when they drag on and on and ON.
Even more so when the fluffy scenario is either directly counter to canon (like 'imagine if the Qun didn't horribly abuse and mutilate their mages <3 <3 <3') or is... let's say improbable (every single one of those, 'imagine Hogwarts accommodating (insert disability or minority identity here)', when canon Hogwarts was a flaming pit of peril to students lives).

S!B: I don't actually want to tell people that their fluffy fantasies are shit and they should reacquaint themselves with the canon.

This is kind of vague but you know when a show loses the feel it had in the early seasons? Like it had a found family kind of vibe? Or it was a good vs. evil kind of thing? Then they completely upend things to make them more interesting, but I actually lose interest. There have been shows I would have watched every week for years if they'd still had that thing I liked in the beginning.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm alone in this because they must be making a decision to try to keep ratings up and maybe most people are the opposite and they get bored and stop watching if things don't change enough.

I'm totally okay with My Chemical Romance never getting back together. Don't get me wrong, they'll always be my favorite band and it sucks that I only got to see them live once, but they all seem happier doing their own things. I just want more updates on Ray because he's my favorite, but saying that makes me sound like an entitled creeper.

Honestly there are some characters I would like to read terrible indulgent character/reader self insert fic for - but apparently the hot new trend is to have reader inserts be literal blank nameless canvases, with characters calling them “[Your Name]”. And I hate that so much. I would rather an easy to identify with OC with an actual fucking name any day of the week.

Secret because I would never admit to reading or wanting to read character/reader fic unanon.

I was talking to somebody about a show I really like and they mentioned characters I didn't remember, and I found out there was a second season I didn't know about and I felt incredibly stupid.

... OK that would be a crappy secret. But also I'm too lazy to make it.

The cutesy terminology on petblrs annoys me so much more than the worst smush-name ships. Seriously, take your birbs and your sneks and your toe beans and boop them up your snoot.

For those of you who still use LJ/DW

[(Anonymous)]

What do you use it for? Fandom? RL? Other hobbies?

In b4 "LJ is dead lol" or "I haven't used LJ in years" I'm asking people who do still use LJ/DW.

Fanfic readers

[(Anonymous)]

Do you read work in progress fics or just completed?

Feel free to ask any questions of fanfic readers if you so wish.

Inspired by 1: What classic literature would you like to see adapted to film?

Whether it's a classic that hasn't been done recently (or at all) or one where you'd like a do-over, what do you want to see?

What are your favorite adaptations of classic literature?

depopulation vs overpopulation

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand how articles in the press can make it sound like both of these things are an issue simultaneously.

Is it just a big govt thing, that if populatiosn in "first world" countries don't continue to grow, they won't be able to service the greedy policies of subsidizing the rich and banks?

Personally I'm all for populations slowly declining; that's better than wars and plagues. Just learn how to take care of aging populations better, don't act like it's the end of the world if your country changes in time. Things have been changing forever and will continue to do so whatever hand wringing govt's do.

Also it's usually their own fault because of policies that hurt the average person in their twenties and makes them want to put off having kids, or move to a better place, etc.

And if it's really about "the white race" declining, then they can go to hell. I've had enough of that racist, imperialistic bullshit for a lifetime.

Either support policies and changes that help younger people have a steadier place in the economy and more time and less stress, or get used to people having fewer kids. Pick one, assholes.
