honestly, she was treated unnecessarily harshly and it’s just because she’s a woc. she was mean to ONE white man and people took that as an opportunity to cancel her and send her racially charged death threats 🙄🙄🙄. there’s a really good interview with her on paper mag if you want to see.

this is really good

Omg do the Arya stans not realize that Arya loves her sister Sansa, and that Arya herself thinks Sansa should be the Lady of Winterfell? How was your post in anyway anti Arya? jfc

Damn I wish I knew!!! I got like 12 hate anons in my inbox talking about how Arya should be (or is “by right”) Lady of Winterfell. I legitimately love Arya as a character and I love the arc that she’s had, never in my wildest dreams did I think that post was gonna be interpreted as anti lmao.

You’re right, like Arya even said Sansa should be Lady of Winterfell. And y’know what, if Arya had had a problem with it, I bet Sansa would’ve stepped down. She asked “does that bother you?” in a way that implied she was open to compromising bc she’s a sweet girl who loves her family and doesn’t want to fight.

Sansa and Arya love each other and are each other’s #1 stans and I’ll accept nothing less no matter what the fans say

Hi Maxine, since it’s come recently on your blog, I wanted to share my perspective on the Twilight Renaissance, as someone who’s relatively involved with it. I can’t speak for everyone but the main points of the Renaissance are about 1) the giant nostalgia factor 2) reclaiming it. For me at least, Twilight will always remind me of the 2008 recession and how reading it gave me a lot of comfort then. As I grew up however, I realized that it was deeply problematic.

Every modern Twilight fan I’ve encountered is aware of & angered by s.meyer’s racist and conservative attitude & we are not here to make excuses for her. While we cannot change the canon, a lot of us hc characters being POC, LGBTQ+, etc. We ignore plot lines that push s.meyer’s gross agenda (the treatment of the Quileute tribe, the birth of Resume, etc) & focus more on the actual good things within canon (characters like Rosalie, Esme, and Leah, who have empowered a lot of women).

The point isn’t to erase the issues within the series but to improve it. A lot of us actually come from marginalized groups (I’m a queer WoC Mayonnaise would hate me lol!) & while we love the nostalgia of Twilight there is a sense of cognitive dissonance that comes from liking something that is so vehemently against you. I would say it’s akin to how ASOIAF/G0T fans can like certain characters but hate most of the aspects of the show, and might HC things that contradict the actual canon.

Also- While I kind of get the argument of “girls were shamed for liking Twilight” I do think it’s a white feminist way to narrow down the very cereal criticisms that ppl have for the series. I haven’t seen the video you’re talking about but it seems to me that she probably ignored the treatment of the Quileute tribe and other messed up things in the series

Hello! Thanks for the elaboration. I’ve never been involved in the Twilight fandom but I do have a LOT of mutuals and off-Tumblr friends who are relishing in the Renaissance, and I know all of them well enough to know they are cognizant of the issues in the books. I have sometimes gotten caught up in the nostalgia of it as well, like I said in the previous answer–I appreciate a lot of the memes and hilarity that the movies have inspired. This might be due to the kind of people I like to follow, but I’ve mostly seen the reclamation that you are describing: queering the text and adding more diversity, playing up the positive interactions between women, headcanoning Bella as a wlw, etc. I’ve also seen a resurgence in the popularity of vampire fantasy in general.

The “people hated Twilight because girls like it” argument was popular for a few months but has died down since it first came out because countless users rebutted immediately with a more intersectional approach. I did not mean to make assumptions/inaccurate statements about the Renaissance fandom because I simply don’t know enough about it to do so, so I hope my answers didn’t come off that way–just having a discussion about the books and how the fandom has evolved since it first really blew up in 2008. The video essay in question argued along the white feminist line, and was a huge reason why the Renaissance occurred, but that take was the only major one I’ve seen that was so shallow. Though I do agree that a portion of the hate for Twilight was due to misogyny, that wasn’t the full story, and I’ve seen recognition of that. In my experience, that original video essay perspective has not reflected most of the Ren activity I’ve seen on my dash. The books at this point seem pretty separate from the fandom (disclaimer: based on who I follow and what kind of Twilight Ren content they’re reblogging). As a person who’s been on the outskirts of such a huge cultural phenomenon in its first iteration and now is seeing a lot more mature and diverse takes in the second iteration, it’s been very interesting to be on the sidelines through it all. :)

Me, attempting to document my life with my dusty phone camera:

So in an attempt to bring forth positivity and remember the good ol’ days™️ on my bad days™️, I thought I would try documenting memorable bits of my life on here. Not sure if this will be a continuous thing (after all, how many good ol’ days can one girl have? 😅) but I had a pretty nice weekend and felt like I might as well give it a try.

Saturday, May 25th:

The fam and I went up to Boulder for the day. We did some shopping, had a picnic at a park, and visited the Celestial Seasonings (my fave tea company ever btw). We got to tour the factory which was pretty dope and then bought a whole bunch of tea!!!! I also picked up their “Tension Tamer” artwork mug bc #TeamTargaryen4Lyfe

Afterwards, I went to see 🌈Booksmart🌈with my two bffs from high school. Not to get too emotional again but getting to see this movie with them was the bees knees 🐝 (also pls go watch Booksmart! Support gay media! Support women in film!)

Sunday, May 26th:

Went up to The Mountains for a hike and ended up experiencing my dream come true of spontaneously running into a parade of donkeys in a mountain town square. Footage of two of these angels (not pictured: me losing my mind and crying in Spanish)

Went on a lil snowy hike by the lake. Honestly the fact that Denver was boiling but it was snowing just an hour west of it doesn’t surprise me.

Footage of me wearing a crop top anyways, attempting to bat away the snowflakes that fell in my eyes without tearing up. Also, I wish my camera had captured the lovely details of the pines, and the fog, and the individual snowflakes glittering through the air, but alas.

The evening was pretty quiet but I finally got some ice cream lol.

Monday, May 27th:

Today was a quiet lazy day. Bought a giant bowl of mac & cheese, and read Twilight in public #NoRagrets. Also picked up Three Dark Crowns at the bookstore and played more Spyro (wow I really love dragons).

#i haven’t posted pics of myself on tumblr in years omg #i know there are some old photosof me on scarboroughfaerie #but this is the first time on nff #not sure if i’ll do this again but it was kind of fun #please no reblogs #likes and replies are fine :) #mine

with that, i wanted to let y’all know about some changes i wanna make with this blog. for now, i would like to keep this a mostly throne of glass/ acotar blog. i will still reblog a few miscellaneous posts here and then but from now on, all other f*ndom posts will go on my other blogs.

so here’s what you can expect from each blog:

@nastynesryn (this one lol): throne of glass and acotar content, possible crescent city stuff if i get to it, and general sjm stuff 😑; personal posts and tag games; general commentary on ya books, fandom culture (ew), and related posts

@scarboroughfaerie (main blog)- general aesthetics, fashion, etc.; personal posts and tag games; movies/shows; misc. f*ndom (like dc/marvel, lotr, and other book series for instance); just anything really

@daenerysofvengerberg - this is purely asoiaf/got and witcher content

@winterwoodwitch - witchy resources, tips, etc.

@ihateschoolstudyblr - ‘motivational school stuff’ lmao

@electraheartflowercrown -pure 2014 soft grunge nostalgia
