It Does Kindaaa Disappoint Me As To How Little Elizabeth's Faults Are Acknowledged By The General Public

it does kindaaa disappoint me as to how little elizabeth's faults are acknowledged by the general public in comparison to darcy's. so much praise of the book (and the more faithful adaptations) paint the story as if darcy was solely both pride and prejudice, and committed an error far greater than elizabeth's, and elizabeth is just some girlboss who roasts him.

i understand darcy is the love interest and with a target audience of women, seeing the steps he takes to change himself, is charming and would be a greater highlight, and that's no problem at all! i, too, am one of the many women swooning sighing dreamily over darcy! but it's such a shame when i see people present the characters one-sidedly when both characters recognizing their faults is so crucial to the story and arguably, its biggest charm

Jonah Magnus being irish whil me hating the irish is honestly great cus I can imagine him trying to hide it while everyone is completely underwhelmed by his secret

My friend's headcanon of Jonah Magnus (and by extension, Elias) hating Irish people is so ingrained into my mind that I actually thought it was real and spent ages thralling through the wiki to fact check it

gf fandom in 2016: if you so much as hint - even jokingly! - about the nature of ford and bill’s relationship being anything other than platonic (and even then you NEED to give a disclaimer that bill is manipulating him!) then you support abusive relationships

now that i think about it, jonathan harker would’ve been a great character in frankenstein. he’s so completely oblivious to dracula’s red flag parade that he’d probably completely avert the creature’s murderous rampage by accidentally befriending him after spending a page and a half writing about some weirdly tall homeless guy with daddy issues he ran into

if sinners (2025) taught me anything, it's that it IS actually always about race.

you can be oppressed, and still promote and maintain the very same systems of oppression onto other marginalized people. being oppressed in one dimension doesn't allow you to be exempt from oppressing in other dimensions. the "villain" of the movie, remmick, being from the time period of the english colonization of ireland, all the while wanting to take a piece of sammie's own culture from him, use him for it. and this plot point coming after remmick witnesses the significance of sammie's playing within his culture, for his ancestors and how it would shape Black culture in the future.

even in today's society, ive noticed that people treat Black people like a commodity. our worth is only as much as other people decide it to be, and that's usually dependent on how much the oppressor can take from us. for example, the controversy of"internet slang" and how it is blatantly just AAVE with a bad disguise on

do you listen to Black musicians? do you watch Black movies? do you engage with Black creators? do you defend the racist tendencies you notice in your friends, in your family, or do you stay silent? do you listen when Black people tell you you've said or done something racist? do you actually care about not being racist, or do you just not want to look like you're racist?

i just think people have a very specific take on what racism is, and that if they're not committing KKK-levels of violence on people, then they're not racist. or if you've experienced oppression in one form, you cannot possibly be engaging with oppression in another form. but the ways in which we interact with other people and the world will always be through the lens of race, because that is simply what it means for oppression to be systemic, especially in the US and our current political climate

anyway 10/10 movie. highly recommend

Rancilda and Putrice are autistic because their Mother is able to act human pretty easily, meanwhile they still act pretty much the same way they do as trolls. 'Hi my name is Putrice, it means 'vomit inducing' 'And I'm...not supposed to say anything.' These girls have little to no masking game.

“The third text-to-speech is Elias!” “The third text-to-speech is Annabelle!” All good theories, I love it, and the voices have massive eye and/or web vibes (leaving out that the distribution of entities might be entirely different in the tmagp ‘verse) — but in the og casting announcement, Tim Fearon is listed as voicing the third glitched out character alongside Alex and Jonny, who we’ve never heard in Magnus before.

So if we assume that he is voicing Augustus, that means it’s a new voice.

Of course, there’s the option that it’s one of the new Big Bads for the series, and if so, I’m excited for when we get to meet them because evil text-to-speech program? Hell yes.

But but but!! Consider, please:

We never got to hear Jonah’s actual voice. We only ever hear Elias’s voice being used by Jonah.

So if Chester and Norris have jmart’s disembodied voices, Augustus could have Jonah’s, and it would be a voice we’ve never heard before
