Of course on the night I try to start watching Hannibal, I find out only episode 7 and upward are available. Goddamn today is pissing me off.

GIRL GET YOUR BUSHWHACKERS ON.
No but really, you’re taking up ballet again? That’s awesome. Where?
BUSHWHACKERRRRRS
I’m doing it at home (too tall to pursue it elsewhere), just making up exercise routines out of the basics. I decided against getting ribbons today because I think I need to do another month or so of pre-pointe exercises. Either way!
It’s amazing how much more fulfilling ballet is when you’re not crammed in a hot room full of snotty bitches! Or Mrs. Fuchs.
I couldn’t agree more. Glad you’re getting back into it!
Today is doing everything in its power to make me grumpy and it’s definitely working.

Hey guys, I’ve never played animal crossing but I’m in the market for a new game. Anyone want to pitch to me why I should give it a shot?
PS - Mallory this post is for you.
It’s friday which means weekly LSP appreciation day. Let’s face it, LSP is pretty much perfect.
NOT THE FIRST THAT’LL TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE WEIRD.
Bye guys, I’m off to Disney World to hang out with Peter Pan on the Adventureland Bridge and be awesome.
last night on Game of Thrones
yep seems about right
Oh ok I wasn’t the only one weirded out by Dany’s scene. I don’t think it’s a bad thing if people didn’t notice it but it felt weird to see all these PoC deifying a single white girl. I don’t think this is a poor reflection of the writing or the story as much as it might have been a miscalculation in casting.
There’s actually some really good analysis out there that Dany’s story is not actually White Savior Complex, but damn, HBO, you seem to be going the extra mile to portray it that way.
See, I totally believe that Dany’s story isn’t meant to be White Savior Complex. I think this was just poor casting and even worse visual choices on the part of the show. Had more consideration been put into it, I don’t think it would have played out that way. Daniel insists that the book is very decidedly not WSC and I believe it. (Also, if I had just released a whole bunch of people from slavery, I’d feel really weird about crowd surfing on top of them. That would just make me hella uncomfortable.)
I mean, white washing the mixed races of Essos isn’t necessarily the answer (though they did seem to go out of their way to make them brown with dirt). Honestly, I think the answer is simply NO BIZARRE CROWDSURFING MONTAGE! It’s weird. And uncomfortable. Both to participate in and watch.
Totally agree. Let me rephrase, I think if it had been people of various races, it would have felt less strange to me. However, looking at the cast, they all had some very similar characteristics so to me it felt like it was meant to be one particular race. That would have been fine but then when you had a single white girl CROWDSURFING THEM, it was goddamn weird. She’s not crowdsurfing blacks and whites and latinos and other races, she’s just crowdsurfing one particular race. So to me, crowdsurfing slaves who happen to be POCs = awkward.
