i must once again criticize the girlbossification of mary shelley
just ran across someone very distressed to learn about the racism in frankenstein and this is what ignoring the orientalism of safie’s narrative and the casual mention that clerval wants to help the english colonize india in favor of a flattened narrative about mary shelley’s #feminism because she wrote a pivotal novel will get you!! it gets you people who forget that mary was an upper class english woman in the 19th century
since this has breached containment let me be extremely clear that i am not canceling long dead author mary shelley or her book which forms a fundamental cornerstone of my personality i am saying forcing historical figures into two dimensional Feminist Icon status is bad and leads people to have unrealistic ideas of those figures and their work. people who are grown ups can read work with problematique ideas without catching moral cooties
vampire vs. skeleton. what’s the vampire gonna do? suck blood the skeleton doesn’t have?? on the other hand werewolf vs. skeleton would not be so good. all those bones.
Getting into an argument with my partner because I said they should eat my body if I die before them in a survival situation and they refuse to entertain the notion. “I’m not saying you should kill me, I’m saying if you outlive me you should eat me,” I say. “NO,” they respond.
Really fun to see the internet collectively develop a crush on Hayden Christensen in 2022 like did you not see Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith seventeen years ago
