For real, it drives me nuts when people act like I’m “behind the times” for still collecting physical movies and books.

Like when I blind bought Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange on bluray and the classmate who recommended it to me looked at me like I confessed to writing on stone tablets.

“But it’s on Netflix!”

And guess what was taken off of Netflix a few months later?

I like watching my movies when I want to watch them.

And you know what else? I like not depending on the internet to watch things. The internet in my apartment? Dodgy as hell. There are periods where streaming won’t even pull up on my TV because the internet will blip for 5-10 minutes. And it gets REALLY annoying when you’re in the middle of a show.

Also, there are people who live in more rural areas who can’t get decent internet either. Those people tend to still use cable and rent a lot of DVDs from the library.

So yeah, between streaming companies censoring content and pulling stuff down, and the internet not always being consistent, long live physical media.

i love tumblr because sometimes i get an urge to rb posts about something nobody likes and everyone just politely ignores me. everyone's like oh he's fallen into madness again, he'll be fine later i guess

#this is my safe space #and i love everyone for that

No because pride and prejudice isn't "I changed myself for you so you would love me back." It's "your blatant rejection and disdain for me made me realize things about myself no one had ever been bold enough to tell me so I sat down and evaluated all my behavior patterns and why they came about and came to the realization myself that I had to work on myself. Also I don't expect you to love me now that I'm a work in progress, so I'm just going to do nice things for you because I don't like seeing you hurt." No wonder P&P fans refuse to settle.

The Jane Austen fandom after the trailer for Netflix's Persuasion (2022) (derogatory) got released:

After being thrown out of Mansfield Park for letting slip that she would be happy if Tom Bertram died, Mary Crawford moves to a new town in need of a new identity. For reasons best known to herself, she chooses her victim as the often overlooked middle child, Anne Elliott. After murdering Anne and disposing of the body, she quietly assumes her new identity. Because the Elliott's never paid any attention to Anne anyway, over the next few years, Mary Crawford is able to cement the deception.

This is the only explanation for this film, right??

This is hurting me on a soul level 🥲 Why did they butcher this quote to this point just for the modernist take?!?!

#I heard this line in the trailer and almost threw up #why would they do this to me #netflix persuasion #obviously I’ll still watch it #but come ON

[you-had-me-at-hallow]

They really adapted a novel about someone bending to societal and familial pressures, a novel literally called PERSUASION and went ‘so the lead should be strong-willed and unconforming’ I’m going to scream.

#this is my favorite book #and I am so conflicted and confused #netflix persuasion #jane austen #*big sigh*

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

“From the time I began to read, as a child, I loved to feel their heft in my hand and the warm spot caused by their intimate weight in my lap; I loved the crisp whisper of a page turning, the musky odor of old paper and the sharp inky whiff of new pages. Leather bindings sent me into ecstasy. I even loved to gaze at a closed book and daydream about the possibilities inside.”
