I'm kind of curious now what this entire shebang is about.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought this was Millicent and Aurora.

[(Anonymous)]

I am approximately blind without my contacts/glasses, so I sort of understand this - losing your vision (esp in a dangerous situation) is a more tangible helplessness to me than being stabbed to death or something.

[(Anonymous)]

All of these recent Silmarillion secrets just make me think - are we talking about the same Silmarillion fandom? Because yes, Morgoth/Sauron is everywhere, but I've never seen any woobification for either of them? Usually it's all "aw fuck yeah villains and corruption!" It's all pretty damn dark.

I really wonder where this mysterious Silmarillion fandom is hanging out that apparently woobifies villains and only writes porn instead of discussing meta.

[sparklywalls]

I get upset too because as someone who is highly myopic and so has to wear contact lenses or glasses every waking minute...I know I'd be screwed in a post-apocalyptic world. So I wince with sympathy when someone's glasses are destroyed.

I always hated that scene in The Mummy where one of the explorers crunches his own glasses until my mum pointed out that Imhotep was taking someone's short-sighted eyes and "what use is that?" Then it became sort of funny after that! But I still don't really like it.

[feotakahari]

It's an SJ issue to NOT be concerned solely with how attractive someone is?

[(Anonymous)]

Or Maleficent. Whatever. Who names their kid Maleficent?

[morieris]

Oh yeah. I had heard some discussion about it. I wonder if people are discussing "There's not too many Asian ladies on television as of late, it sucks that she's gone." or what the confessor is actually saying.

all of these secrets are tl;dr

what's up f!s

[(Anonymous)]

Ha. So did I.

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

I think that's totally understandable, OP. A lot of us wouldn't be able to survive without glasses/contacts -- especially if around a killer or something!

BTW, you probably shouldn't watch that one Twilight Zone episode...

[feotakahari]

Folks in general comments were all over this a few days ago. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Edit: Turns out there were two of them. One about Mark Spoils: http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/987226.html?thread=735270746#cmt735270746

And one about Hannibal: http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/985746.html?thread=734479250#cmt734479250

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

If memory serves, in the Swedish dub she was simply renamed "the evil fairy".

[(Anonymous)]

Not my maturity level.

[dreemyweird]

Oh my god, OP, I hear you. I have this one fandom where everyone is into the Hot Male Lead and the tumblr tags are full of stills with "the precious baby" in them. Everyone goes on about how haaawt he is, how hot he is in glasses and without glasses, with a shirt and without a shirt, everyone ships him/waistcoats...

Like... I'm happy people like the canon source, regardless of the reasons. I'm no elitist. And neither do I resent the fact that they talk about him a lot (he's a very good actor, too, and I love the character). But I often feel lonely :/

Questions there's never a good time to ask.

[(Anonymous)]

For some questions, there's just never a good time to ask them. It seems insensitive when they are on topic, and weird when they are not.

I have two questions that I hope someone here has an answer to and I'm super curious what unanswered questions others have!

1) That Boston marathon bombing a while ago. The news here mentioned almost exclusively leg and foot wounds. I wondered (and still wonder) were the bombs build in such a way as to explode low and wound mostly legs and feet, or did the news focus on the leg wounds because it was a marathon and runners, so leg wounds were more dramatic? I saw only two mentions of other wounds, burns and a gut wound, I think.

2) Fires. Whenever there's big fires that apparently burn down whole swathes of land and houses and stuff, I wonder... if these regions experience fires so often (like, yearly, or nearly), why aren't there better countermeasures in place? Obviously I can't ask that while the fires are being reported, since that would sound like victim blaming, which isn't what I mean at all. I'm just surprised. My region used to flood badly all the time hundreds of years ago, so I grew up with info about how people handled that (first they built houses on hills, then they made more hills themselves, then they built dams the whole length of the river and sea, then improved those and so on, so now we haven't had a bad flooding in over 40 years). Which makes me wonder why there seems nothing similar for fires.

that's okay I've been reading kid's books all day

by myself, for myself
