#why are some of y’all LIKE this? 😭

[grelleswife]

I feel like I'm treading dangerous territory but like, Yana drew Edward and Paula dancing at the end of the Weston College arc and they both were blushy and looked full of tension. Could they be a ship that's okay, or is there something wrong there?? I feel like Ed and Paula are around the same age, she may be Lizzie's servant but I think she's pretty young?

*bangs head against the wall, repeatedly and with extreme force*

Some people reach so far to justify shipping Kuro’s adult characters with minors that they’re at serious risk of tearing a muscle or damaging their tendons. 😑

Although I was unable to track down solid confirmation of Edward’s or Paula’s ages, we do know that Edward was attending Weston College, which Yana modeled after real British boarding schools, during Chapter 81 (when the dance that anon mentioned takes place). One such institution, Eton College, lists the age range of its pupils as 13-18, which is generally consistent with what we’ve seen of Weston’s student body. Thus, it’s unlikely that Ed is older than 18. Keeping in mind, however, that he was Herman Greenhill’s fag at the time, it’s possible that he was even younger (closer to 16 or 17) during the Weston arc.

While Paula certainly isn’t a shriveled old crone, she looks a bit more mature than Edward; my best estimate for her age would be early twenties? Even in these flashbacks from Chapter 129, where Paula reflects on her years of service to Lady Elizabeth (note how Lizzy appears younger in the rightmost panel), the maid has either already reached adulthood or is on the cusp of it. I also find it difficult to believe that Frances would hire a tween still wet behind the ears to care for her daughter!

Furthermore, the context of the scene in question isn’t necessarily a romantic one. As my friend and frequent collaborator @bapydemonprincess noted in this post, Mey Rin and Soma are also cheerfully dancing together, even though she’s in her mid-twenties and he’s in his teens—no ships sailing from that harbor! Instead, they bear a closer resemblance to a mother-son pair. Likewise, Frances is sharing a dance with Tanaka; unless Yana’s cooking up an unhinged plot twist in which the marchioness’s tastes in men secretly verge on the geriatric, I think it’s reasonable to assume that this interaction, too, is platonic in nature. So why jump to the conclusion that Edward must be in love with his sister’s maid because they’re participating in the same innocuous social activity?

A blush alone does not sexual tension make. The characters pictured here are in high spirits and physically exerting themselves—it’s perfectly natural for them to get a little flushed in the process. From what I recall, Edward takes after his mother in terms of his earnest, straightlaced nature, so he might also have grown awkward and flustered in such close proximity to a woman (Victorian morals and all that).

Shipping a rarepair with flimsy to nonexistent textual support is certainly no crime; I myself am guilty of that offense many times over. But warping harmlesss interactions between underage boys and grown women into something with sexual and/or romantic underpinnings? We don’t do that in this household. 😤

Reading some of the critiques of pjotv and now I know why y’all are on tumblr and not in the writer’s room 💀💀

#ive said this before but i have to say it again because some of you guys … #calling the BLACK SAILS writers bad 😭😭 do you hear yourselves #all opinions are valid but some are stupid!!! #(i kid but also i think y’all have just aged out of pjo and are expecting something that even the og series was not delivering) #like the source material is middle grade! which is 8-12 year olds #literally the oldest of the target audience is a seventh grader lol #like i was literally six when we got assigned tlt in school #it’s a kids book and a kids show and y’all really got to start treating it like that #otherwise you’re only going to be severely disappointed #(and wrongly so because you’re expectations are skewed from years of fandom) #anyway i think the show is doing a great job of filling in plot holes and fleshing out characters and unraveling plot threads #it’s disappointing that y’all can’t see that because you want a scene by scene copy paste of the books #like some of y’all need a lesson in thematic cohesion and building a multi-season show with a specific overarching theme and message lol #because that’s something the og book series was missing #rick struggled to tie all of his ideas and messages into a cohesive goal so it felt messy at times #i actually have so many thoughts about how the show is doing a lot better than the books #the books would undermine their own goals sometimes because of the focus on action #while the show is reallying building up the characters and exploring the dynamics before the action kicks off #because why would you be invested in any type of action sequence if you don’t care about the characters? #percy jackson #annabeth chase #grover underwood #sally jackson #gabe ugliano #poseidon #percy jackson and the olympians #pjotv

Question for all who see this: how petty would it be to update my rules to exclude AUs I hate

#writing stuff #not kpop #marti talks too much #there’s just like 2 in particular I cannot stand I’m sorry 💀 #in my inbox right now is one AU request that is so chef’s kiss I will smooch requester & another that I will not be touching lmao #I can’t stand ‘6th/9th/8th/14th what have you member’ where the group just has one token female randomly inserted in #like that’s so unrealistic to the industry & I get it a fantasy but I find it so stupid I’m sorry 😭 #no problem with it just won’t make it myself #I hate writing idol AUs too it feels so exclusive to like 99% of readers that would not be idols/be seen as having a place in the industry #like as a not skinny non-asian person why would I be a kpop idol??? it feels so unrealistic why can’t I be some other type of artist #I’m sorry if y’all read these tags & hate me 😔 I’m not trying to shade other writers I just personally do not vibe with those AUs #especially as someone who’s been dealing with a lot of weight shaming from my supposed ‘best friend’ #the thought of being in the idol industry at all is lowkey triggering 💀

hilarious how men will expect you to show an interest and participate in their hobbies but whenever youre any flavor of woman and you ask them to show an interest in your hobbies its radio silence 😀

#the way i’ll play fortnite and dnd and any other nerdy ass game they want bc i wanna spend time with them #but when im like ‘you guys do yall wanna play sdv with me 🥺’ they reject it so quickly #like yall really thought im just suddenly interested in shooters or roleplay lmfao #NO!!! i did it because yall had an interest and i wanted to be respectful!!! #like holy shit men learn how to have emotional intelligence challenge #im genuinely so mad lmfao 😭 if i dont find female or women aligned friends soon i’ll kill myself #i genuinely love my friends too i just wish they at least pretended to make an effort w my interests in the same way i do for them :’) #this isn’t about my bf btw he’s the only one who ever shows an interest in my hobbies and it makes me feel nice and special #i just wish our friends cared too :’( lmao rip #this is why i need female or afab friends!!!! if i don’t get some nice friends irl soon i think my mind will break #loneliness really is a killer y’all

It’s so ironic how some people who finish DGS put Ryuunosuke on a pedestal by saying he’s “better” or “above” Kazuma by the end, when one of the main messages of the duology is not to put people on pedestals because they’re only human and humans are more complicated than just “good” or “bad”.

Like how do you complete BOTH games and still miss the point that bad? Make it make sense

#I’ve seen this a lot and it’s extremely annoying #like can y’all read or no? #I know some people say it jokingly but I’ve seen a lot of people genuinely saying this shit #this is why we can’t have well written stories #y’all don’t deserve it 😭 #the great ace attorney #ryuunosuke naruhodou #kazuma asougi #text #I’m rambling I’m sorry

people will tell you not to be negative about shadow and bone s2 and to wait and see as if we haven’t seen season one 😭😭😭😭

#anti shadow and bone #give up the show sucks and will never do the soc duology justice in any way. not even when the sab plot is over and done #the characters and their arcs are a fucking mess on this show #and the way y’all talk about how it doesn’t matter if and when backstories are portrayed and when they take scenes from the books and #randomly throw them into a different context really makes me think that u ppl just. don’t understand literature at all #and cmon some of y’all are way too smart for that. like i know that deep down most of u get it so why lie on social media 😭😭 #it’s okay to admit that this show sucks and will always suck❤️ #there ive said it we all survived didn’t we
