so i watched the first episode of rings power.
i--i just... no.
no.
there were so many times that i had to fact check, and yeah i understand that it's fucked up and u just gotta bear with it sometimes, and yes i will keep watching it but
what. the. fuck.
at least give fucking Gil Galad blond hair i stg--
also galadriel is his aunt, so in case u didnt know
also the weird fucking chemistry between elrond and galadriel is nasty bc he literally marries her daughter so ew
fuck that
and the whole arondir thing?? oh my gosh, if you're gonna have poc play tolkein elves at Least give us more than one, godDamn
btw, i have no problems with poc elves in tolkein, since he never explicitly states that all elves are fairskinned and shit, its just that it looks like they're "making everyone happy" by adding one black character to each race. one. the fuck??? man, if we're doing what lin manuel miranda did just make the whole fucking cast non-white actors, just do it. tell everyone they can shove it, (me saying this as someone who would honestly prefer everything to be more or less as tolkein wrote it) like, c'mon. don't be wusses, if we're being inclusive, be inclusive, dont have ur special black friend and all the rest of ur friends are white get a life.
anyways, if anything in there was offensive, lmk bc ive been awake for 15 hrs and 11 of them were working/school type things so my ability to "put self in other shoes" is a lil slow
but yeah. this show is stupid, but tolkein enough that i will continue to watch it even though i am severely disappointed.
also the timelines--

okay rantz with gooze
so i was talking about the music video for SCUMBAG by NOAHFINNCE (bc i fuckin LOVE him) with an elder in my life, and was describing how the video is just making fun of jkr and harry potter n shit and how i thought that that was hilarious and also just how that music video is so good
and the elder said, “oh, c’mon, you love harry potter! you just are reading too much of that propaganda online. like the liberal equivalent of fox news.”
to which i said, “yeah, i lovED harry potter. i still do like it, just not nearly to the extent i used to. but i have jkr. i hate her so much.”
the elder responded, “no, you don’t” in the most condescending tone i’ve heard in a long time.
this prompted a discussion between two people in my life about whether trans women are women and shit like that. and when i stood up for my beliefs it was all “kids these days” and “you’re online too much” and “you need to do real research.” there was no reasoning with them, no way to say “hey, you’re being transphobic. please stop.”
and yeah, i know i’m a leftist. but comparing reading FACTUAL INFORMATION on REPUTABLE WEBSITES to FOX FUCKING NEWS is INSANITY.
trans women are women. trans men are men. NOAHFINNCE is a god among mortals. FUCK JKR, if you like harry potter then pirate her books/movies or, even better yet, support your local library and borrow them there. buy hp merch second-hand or not at all. EVEN IF YOU LIKE HARRY POTTER, DO NOT SUPPORT HER! and listen to GROWING UP ON THE INTERNET by NOAHFINNCE out this friday, march 8.

i love love how they handle hettys growth arcs because she always gets it, at least a little bit, but never all the way. shes such a one step forward two steps back kind of character and i loooove her for it. characters who want to change but dont understand WHERE they need to be doing the change because they have no frame of reference for it to know where/what these faults of their self are in the first place…chefs kiss. hetty woodstone i love you. she sees the most improvements in areas where she can gain personal pleasure or feel like changing her mind gives her power, but as soon it it doesnt…she wants to change because she knows she was a bad person but scampers right back to her comfort zone the moment something is even a little bit challenging to her ingrained worldview. i love that they aren’t rushing her character development and let her keep slowly failing forwards instead

more transition rambling
as upset as i sometimes get about not passing, i still love what transitioning is doing for/to my body so much. like i never get sick of seeing how hairy i’m getting, i’m impatient for more facial hair and so excited to have stubble and one side burn (and i would love for both side burns to come in.) my chest hair has started coming in the past few weeks and THATS been a thrill.
every time i hear myself singing and actually like how i sound? every time i laugh weird and sound like my brother, who i love so much? every time i see a friend for the first time in awhile
it’s just, life has been so hard for like, a year and a half now, and while i do think i’m finally on the upswing, there’s a lot of new trauma to deal with. but one thing i’ve learned from all this is how to take care of myself so, so well. i can love and care for myself now in ways i never imagined being possible. and having a body that actually brings me joy makes that so much easier.
and like, it’s especially resonant to have a body that actually brings JOY when i’ve had chronic pain since i was 12. when this all started because i got a new disability. my body can do less and hurts more and i still love it more. its harder to care for, but i’m trying harder.
transitioning has saved my life in SO many ways i could not be more grateful that i finally did it
