I'm Stuck Between Wanting To Be The Murderer In A Murder Mystery Story And Being The Detective In A Murder

The dream: Pat reveals the Cap’s name when confessing he loves him.

“Wait! Captain, Cap, (name), *deep breath* i love you”

Just, YES!

Me to pennyroyal

Don’t get attached to unpopular ships because you will run out of fic and die

It’s 2020 and it’s a crime that there is little to no Lunarry fan art

In questioning my "auntie" (first cousin once removed) Mary's Disney film: Why doesn't Mr Banks (in A British Bank) not question his children's outings? Just calls them questionable. (Hmmm)

Does anyone else ship like the love triangle of Draco, Ginny AND Hermione or is this just another of my weird rare ships?? (They all love each other, it’s a fully connected triangle, both the girls love both Draco and each other.)

(Or as I like to call them, the otter, the weasel and the ferret)

That’s our polite darling boy! He just wants to know what’s happening.

He waves politely....

Okay I’m gonna rant for a second about something I love and that thing I love is Mortal Engines

It absolutely flopped at the box office and I always see people complaining about how the premise (the traction cities) doesn’t make sense, etc. etc. and first off, yeah, the movie doesn’t explain it as well as the books do, that’s fair, but SERIOUSLY? People are willing to suspend belief for all the shit that Marvel and DC do (plus every other superhero movie ever) and enjoy those films, among countless others that have outlandish concepts with little to no explanation, but for some reason people just. Refuse to suspend belief for Mortal Engines long enough to appreciate it.

Because there is so fucking much to appreciate! The world-building is incredible, obviously (even more so in the books). But the themes. Mortal Engines is a fucking commentary on imperialism and colonialism and I don’t understand how people don’t see that?? They don’t see London, a city dominated by a wealthy white elite, literally devouring lower-class cities and not see that? They don’t see London attacking Shan Guo, an alliance of predominantly people of color, and see that? They don’t see Valentine blaming Shan Guo for London not having enough resources and see how it’s a deliberate depiction of racism and scapegoating by a colonial power?

All of these things are visible in the movie. It’s even more apparent in the books (go read the books), but seriously, there is enough of it in the movie to be easily recognizable and it just blows my mind that people fixate so much on how the concept is unrealistic instead of recognizing what an incredible metaphor Reeve built in his tetralogy.

Don’t get me wrong, the movie has plenty of flaws, including lots of changes from the book that I strongly disagree with! But I just wish people would move past their refusal to suspend disbelief long enough to recognize that there’s a lot of really good stuff happening in that film.

Ok…I think I have my first male fictional crush…Remus from Crazy Fun Park..

(Cropped from the main photo, there isn’t a fandom really so not many photos bar the promotional stuff)

What do people mean you get “a type”? I certainly don’t…
