At T3 airport. The signs of decay abound. Also, our attitude towards poor customer service. And the attitude of people who will flop at entrances. At the parking lot, I saw four goons hanging from the piping and threatening the guards. Having a glorious civilization does not help, if we are boorish @oneplus @oneplus_india #mobilephotography #shotinoneplus #streetphotography #india #delhi #boorish #customerservice (at T3) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cirg7guJ7yz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"for colored girls" was nothing more than black trauma porn from an unhealed man using black women as a proxy to express that lack of healing. on top of that, tyler perry has no sense of subtly (e.g. ANY of his movies/shows) so to him, to have such a dark movie with a literal rape acted out on screen and all the other bullshit he incorporated makes the movie and him as a writer "raw".
his version of "oscar worthy" and "deep" is tactless brutality in manners of visuals and dialogue. he thinks if he incorporates rape and molestation in every piece of media he puts out, this somehow defines him as a "raw artist". But without tact, grace, understanding, the ability to listen to anyone else but yourself, and avoiding partnership with other unhealed people (oprah), you have no business exploring (via storytelling) hells you yourself haven't even escaped. for your benefit, and for the audience you pander to.
of all the plays of black women, ask yourself why he chose the one with the most suffering.

A new character from "Sandman" showed up in the next chapter of Giving Sanctuary and I have to admit I'm having 10x more fun than I ever expected with their appearance, seriously this chapter is the essence of the "can we get back to politics, please?" moment in Hamilton (after Quiet Uptown) when like... things have been just so emotionally heavy and devastating, it's a relief to get a reminder of the wider world and a little bit of snark + the chance for Hob and Dream to share secret, knowing, couple-y looks with each other because a 3rd party is present and Hob is over the moon giddy to get to share those looks and still far, far too insecure to get that Dream would be quietly pleased as well (and desperately wishing Hob would silently pick up on his hornier silent communications so that Dream doesn't ever have to use his words) if he wasn't preoccupied right now

PTSD is thrilling, I love having flashbacks when I’m trying to do something as simple as putting my hair up in a bandana

Ok I am what could accurately be called a “critical fan” of the Locked Tomb, so I’m genuinely very curious about your take on Gideon. I liked it, *but* I also have some serious critiques of the way the story was told and I would love to hear your perspective
Okay so I have to admit I have a neurotic internal editor so take my critiques with a grain of salt lmao. The thing is I really really wanted to like it, because the sci-fantasy genre is so sparse and the concept seemed cool.
And it turned out to be just...urgh. The style is grating to me. Tamsyn Muir has a poor grasp on voice, IMO, and also doesn't seem to understand the concept of the author/narrator divide. There were a lot of times where the prose would slip into a dramatic, gothic style with very distinctly its own voice, completely losing Gideon's dry, irreverent, casual-modern voice – only for the next line to come crashing back in with the snark. It was jarring and it broke the immersion for me. People are praising it for this, I found out, which is insane. What are they smoking.
The plot was also pretty weak, imo, like once they got to the castle? planet? the story lost almost all structure. What should have been bigger narrative events felt glossed over, like [SPOILER] being found dead early on. Like I was expecting the narrative to lock down like a steel trap at that, but the tension abated immediately after the discovery scene and the characters continued to behave much as they had before what should have been a major turning point in the plot.
ALSO. JUMPING FROM THERE. The characters. All of them were so shallowly written I had trouble telling them apart, which is bad on its own but is especially bad when you're trying to write an ensemble cast. I didn't care when people died because they felt like hollow caricatures rather than actual people; we never got to know anyone much beyond the archetype they fell into (Gideon - "deadpan snarker/asshole with a heart of gold", Harrow - "walking childhood trauma", Ianthe - "evil bitch", Coronabeth - "golden child", literally, btw her plot twist I could see a mile off, the other necromancers/cavaliers were just stereotypes of their house traits, the final villain was also super obvious from the get go). Gideon and Harrow suffered from this immensely as the two focal characters – Gideon felt like simply a vehicle for Cool and Harrow was just Holden Caulfield with necromancy. Their romance was also rushed and didn't feel believable to me. I refuse to believe that 2 people with such strong personalities who have hated each other since childhood would take so little time to not only reconcile but also fall deeply enough in love for [SPOILER] to work. Also I have issues with noble/retainer romances and those kinds of power/class imbalances in general, but I digress.
I don't want to make this massive post any longer so I'll leave it at that, but I do have a ton of smaller, more nitpicky critiques, these are just the major ones. Honestly this one was just an all around huge disappointment lmao.
I LIED, ONE LAST JAB: I'm a sport fencer and I found the fencing/sword combat ridiculous. Idc if Muir consulted with a fencer, it's obvious to me that it was written by someone who has no familiarity with the sport. How the fuck did Gideon retrain from longsword to rapier in such a short time? Even learning a new weapon in modern sport fencing is an insanely difficult and time consuming process.

On the one hand, I see insightful meta that points out how Stede always listens to Ed’s confessions and internal conflict but Ed doesn’t do the same for Stede.
Ed didn’t listen when Stede said he also felt like he was drowning, Ed just bulldozed right through to his own point, and when Stede was worrying about if Mary declared him dead as an act of spite, Ed just ignored him, and maybe if he had listened he’d have understood some of the internal conflict Stede was facing before he ran off. Maybe, Ed needs to learn to listen to Stede too, and that’s a flaw he’ll have to overcome in S2…
… and on the other hand, as someone with ADHD who also gets selective hearing and a weird attention span whenever I’m in my own thoughts, a lot like Ed in those moments, I’m just like
Tumblr media
… maybe Ed needs to improve on those things but uh, maybe it’s just how his brain works and Stede could just, y’know, gently draw his attention to the fact Ed didn’t hear him just then. Just as a courtesy. (Please, I swear we’re not trying to be rude!)
