165cm is actually around 5'4, not 5'7? (I am a female, around 162cm and always thought I was short).

Yeah, I agree, they are trying to force this tiny group into a protector/protected community, but it just doesn't work in my mind. They are too small, too mobile, have too little protection. And there's no reason for it either. There are only two kids and both are old enough to contribute. It's not like they are toddlers or babies. And what's more it's not doing anyone any favors. If the "protectors" get injured, the protected are just going to get slaughtered.

I get the feeling that the writers have never actually seen what groups do in survival situations. It's quite surprising actually. Kids become grown ups very, very quickly when it's a matter of life and death. They learn very, very fast. In some ways they are more emotionally flexible than the adults, more willing to ditch what doesn't work and find something that does. And they do it really at an astonishingly young age. We coddle our kids because we can, but when we can't, they want to survive.

This. So much.

I watched the trailer and it just looked... wrong. Very very wrong in a way that I can't put down in words, really.

Would this secret make more sense if I could read the text in the speech bubble??

MTE. Though it is the reason I don't like her too much. Still she's far more talented than Kesha or Katy Perry IMO.

Here's the thing about canon ships: MOST of the time, we don't get the character's first POV perspective, so we don't REALLY know EVERYTHING about them. Just because two characters are in a relationship, doesn't mean that one of them couldn't have feelings for someone else -- or that they wouldn't be open to the idea of someone else or whatever. We just DON'T KNOW. Forget the whole gay/straight/bi thing. We have no REAL idea what a character would and wouldn't do. We can extrapolate from canon and get a good feeling for who we think the character is and what they'd do in any given situation, but because we can't ever REALLY know for sure, I don't see what's the difference between writing a fic where character A loves character B and one where character A loves character C.

Do you see what I mean? Just because canonically character A is in love with character B, doesn't mean that IN THE FICTIONAL WORLD THEY LIVE IN they couldn't ever fall in love with character C. You have to look at in the context of these characters actually existing in some parallel universe.

Some things in canon are unquestionable. If someone has blue eyes, that's canon and it's unquestionable, because we can see it for ourselves. There is no other alternative reading of the text. But if character A and character C have a ~touching scene, there is no one way to interpret it, because we can't possibly KNOW EXACTLY what is/was going on in their heads and what it means to them. We might have an IDEA of what their feelings are, but we can't know with 100% certainty.

SO. It's perfectly fine to only want to ship canon couples, whether they be gay/straight/bi/whatever. But to say that non-canon couples aren't canon -- no, that's just not right. You're taking canon events and simply interpreting them differently. That doesn't make any of the events non-canon, especially since pretty much all the time canon fem/slash fics acknowledge a canonically heterosexual's character's orientation in some way (usually by making them bi or having their same sex attraction to be an ~exception -- which really can't be disproved by canon anyway).

I don't know, I watched the trailer and the animation just looked... off, not quite right in a way that I can't really explain.

Not that I have anything against GCI, but it made me lose some interest in the movie.

This is strangely amusing.

Vegeta does it better

i like you

[identity profile] smittenlotus.livejournal.com 2011-10-24 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Love this movie. It needs more love.

This. Plus no one gave him any support or sympathy for the loss of his parents in the first place. No wonder he had rage. Rage was the most sane and healthy reaction for him!

I've never had a sexual dream that I can remember... but I've had a few that involved ridiculous romantic drama. Like, soap opera drama.

I...don't really like them together at all. They can have a very good intellectual conversation, but outside those, they have a very awkward chemistry that just doesn't lend itself to shipping them at all. They're like...tentative friends to me, nothing more.

Amy had more chemistry in a possible shippy way with Leonard in the 3rd episode of the new season and she has TONS AND TONS of chemistry with Penny that they could dabble more with. I'd LOVE if she ended up having a crush and a possible thing with Penny, or just a one-sided thing.

But shippy with Sheldon? I can't see it. Even if I do ship the biggest ship in the fandom right now (no shame at all in shipping Sheldon/Penny, i love them to death), I honestly don't see it and I'd rather see her with Penny more than anyone. Just not Sheldon.

Sorry anon. >>

There PLENTY of fic where he's not weak/whimpering/pitiful, there's also many fics where he is many of those things (and others where he responds to that by shifting his interests and loyalties to the dark side), you just need to look harder.

This was epic. It's going on by "best internet quotes" list.

OP THOSE BOOKS WERE MY CHILDHOOD.

Not even kidding they formed so many of my ideas about what I like in fiction, women in fiction, and even chapter titles.

Your parents being killed and you growing up in a severely abusive household is "one sad thing"?

what is unreasonable about not wanting you to use misogynistic terms at female posters jw
