We (I) need more serious analysis and comparisons of Terry Pratchett and JK Rowling.
I'm talking:
Looking at their respective worldbuilding and writing styles.
Looking not only at the series they are best known for, but also their other works and what they entail.
Comparing their fan bases, known politics, and overall contributions to the world.
Obviously I am extremely bias, but I'm tired of seeing the surface level "Terry Pratchett > JK Rowling". I KNOW that, the real trouble is how do we convert others?
I wasn't on the internet when terfs tried to claim Sir Terry and were shut down hard by those who knew him. I'm thinking instead of always being on the defensive, now is a perfect time to to go on the offense.
I think my favorite part about winter break is feeling the love I have for my family slowly turn into blood-boiling rage as I'm forced to spend more time with them.
Branagh is making another Poirot movie? Why? Why does he have the sentient mustache back? Didn't he shave it in the last movie?
When will this madness end?!?!
(Suchet better make a cameo I swear)
Update: there is hope on the horizon. I don't want to jinx anything so I'm not going to be specific, but I could make it out of finals alive and unskinned.
Hot damn!
Aw man, after sending me this how could I not? I’ll finish it ASAP 👍
Thank You!! ☺️
I don't have a lot of nice things to say about this episode, but what I will say is that the first 13 minutes were pretty dang good and them bringing the memory TARDIS from Tales From the Tardis into play was amazing. Every scene in there was absolute gold.
Don't be fooled by their cute designs. These things are colonizing fascists who see the rest of the universe as children in need of their guidance (whether it's wanted or not). They've destroyed whole planets because they felt they had the right.
I’m lazy sorry here’s screenshots from Discord:
I'm seeing a lot about how awesome the character Trent Crimm is and how James Lance is killing it at his job. May I point you to toward the 2021 The Canterville Ghost miniseries? Sure, it's a more childish show and there were some, shall we say, liberties taken with the original source material. Also, Lance's American accent is definitely something to behold. It's like Keanu Reeves British accent in the 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula, only reversed. However, his character is super adorable and avoids confrontation like this:
I mean, come on!
Just my humble opinion. (Sorry for the shit quality)
Since Agatha All Along is ending tonight I guess, may I offer another Marvel show with Aubrey Plaza in it?
For all of you who love her psycho but sometimes soft and intimate portrayal of Rio/Death:
May I suggest a more mature show in which she plays a character named Lenny, a character who is both torturer and friend to the main protagonist. That shows name?
The show follows David Haller (Professor X's son) as he battles with the Shadow King for control over his own mind. Lenny is David's friend at the mental hospital in which he is a patient, and then becomes one of the Shadow Kings minions. Across the three seasons, Plaza has some of the most amazing and visually stunning scenes throughout the entire show, which is really saying something.
Without revealing too much, her characters development is amazing, as is everyone character in the show.
(Minus the fuck ass blue eyes she gets later on)
Of course, all of the characters are wonderful and complex in this series, but I just wanted to connect it to AAA in case people were interested.
(This is a desperate attempt to get people who will talk about Legion with me)
So Ruby's mom pointing at the Tardis (which had Sutekh wrapped around it) could mean two things.
She knew that they would Time Window and it was a warning to the Doctor and Ruby. This means that the mom could have future/past knowledge, meaning she could be someone we've met.
Ruby's mom sensed Sutekh and the point was to him to warn him to stay away from Ruby. I like this idea because that means she might be as powerful as he is if she can threaten him. Maybe since he's the god of Death, she's a god of Life? Like, equally as powerful or powerful enough to fight him.
Edit:
What if her mother's Kronos?
Terrible jokes and ramblings and OH GOD, THE PAIN! THE UNENDURABLE AGONY! (howdy)
