Not gonna lie, on one side the deadpan way she delivers that makes me chuckle but on the other side it breaks my heart how unsupportive and mean she is
Like - he is such a sweetheart to her but she doesn't care about him and his feelings and dreams
Highkey me
The Joker makes me want to buy a pack of Marlboro Reds so I can chain smoke while strutting down the street, cigarette hanging from the corner of my mouth while Rock n Roll pt 2 plays in the background. I don’t even smoke…
People talk about Lovecraft being racist like he was an influencial Klansman leader who personally owned about 20 black servants and donated money to the Nazis.
The reality was he was basically scared of the unknown and anything different from his own sheltered white boy culture, which is a pretty frequent theme that comes up in his work. Even most people in the 30s and 40s thought his brand of xenophobia was extreme, partly because it was very literal fear of anything different. The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Dunwich Horror didn’t exactly discourage mixed-race marriages, for instance.
And then on the other hand, Lovecraft worked hard to break out of that mindset later in life. He really tried to change his way of thinking and even married a Jewish woman. Really, recognizing racism and trying to be less racist in the days before the Civil Rights movement is kind of saying a lot for a historical figure.
EDIT: People are replying to this post like my point was “don’t hate the fact that Lovecraft was racist he did nothing wrong” when the actual point was “no one gives a shit that he was racist because he was a weak-ass pussy and hardly anyone took him seriously, including his own fans”.
Even if he didnt’ change his mindset, the people who enjoy and read his stories today aren’t doing so because of racism. They like grisly, dark, eldritch horrors and some even want to fuck the monsters Lovecraft intended to instill terror and fear. That alone should tell you he failed to make more racism.
