We've Taken The Valley, Now Let's Head Into The Mountains.

I'm taking a break from the rapture to lead an inquisition.

Not a real inquisition. I don't have the resources for that.

I'm talking about Dragon Age: Inquisition. On Twitch. Come join me.

I decided to rewatch Once Upon a Time....well, I guess it's not really a rewatch....I watched the first two seasons while it was airing, but dropped off after that.

Anyway.

I got reminded of how people reacted to the reveal of why Regina hated Snow White so much. People kept complaining about how it wasn't really Snow's fault, it wasn't bad enough to make Regina hate her that much, it was really Cora's fault, blah blah blah

But that was always the point.

Regina's hatred of Snow wasn't intended to be justified. Snow was never supposed to have deserved it.

Regina dealt with her grief and unhappiness by finding someone to blame for it. Her mom? She's terrified of her mom. Her mom isn't safe to hate.

Snow is safe to hate. She's innocent, naive, defenseless, and she's always there. Snow is always there. Regina can't escape the person who she has made into a symbol for all of her trauma and misery.

So of course the reason for Regina's hatred isn't enough to actually justify that hatred. It was never supposed to

Marvel movies have completely eliminated the concept of practical effects from the movie-watching public’s consciousness

okay i wanna do one of these. PLEASE interact: fraternal twins, people who were blonde as children, geminis, scorpios, roleplayers (ttrpg or larp version), roleplayers (tumblr blog or discord or omegle edition), gif makers who are terrified of the death of tumblr bc they will have nowhere to post, people with septum rings, non supernatural fans who nonetheless have opinions on the characters by osmosis, ace attorney investigations enjoyers, people with old laptops, people who do not own airpods, flautists, people with ocd who are very messy, collectors of weird objects, drinkers of iced coffee only, and winter haters

For the book rant- Fahrenheit 451

ITS SO UNDERRATED and listen I don't know if there's controversy about the book or the author, probably, but HOLY CRAP THAT ENDING BLEW ME AWAY

I literally had to put the book down and cry because I was just so taken aback by how devastating and totally world ending that is for the characters. I mean come on, the whole city? A WHOLE CITY? The way it's described is beautiful and I read it over a year ago, that scene is permanently engrained in my brain. It's just so...real. I just felt so bad for them. I can't help how frustrated I get over the lack of love for it.

Its appreciated as a work of "classic" fiction but not for how emotional it is

Well this was entirely unexpected.

Let's all take a moment to bask in some positivity

Also, have you watched the movie? The one from the 60s, not the newer one. It's very good, and has a much nicer ending
