🚨🐉 In the deleted scene from S1EP2 after Viserys announces his betrothal to Alicent, Rhaenyra calls Alicent a whore and asks her what she thought would happen after visiting the king alone for months.
this + everyone saying kate sharma was too old and she’d have a hard time finding a match bc of it even tho she looks like a literal goddess walking among us
It’s actually a joke that the ton doesn’t find Penelope to be the most stunning gorgeous debutante to ever exist like this is when bridgertons lack of realism really gets to me
okay but hear me out,,,,, dev patel with a native woman….the whole bit is they’re both “indian”…… the culture mesh potential…… the jokes that could be written….seeing a biracial couple where one of them isn’t white…. okay walk with me
colin having access to 20k pounds easily w/o worry it would bankrupt his family (equivalent to 1.3m today) and penelope having just over 10k pounds (let’s say 12k, which is 800,000) and yall were talking about jobless and unemployed for WEEKS these people are MILLIONAIRES
calling colin a "jobless third son" these past months only for him to end up as the ONLY BRIDGERTON with an actual JOB along with his WIFE, oh the polin karma never fails!!!

this! like you see it start to build in s3 the most, and we get the parallels from aang and katara (asami watching over korra while shes in the avatar state) and in s4 it was revealed she only kept in contact with asami like it was there as much as it could be at the time

i think a good way to tell if it’s a plant is based on how funny the joke is cuz in this case you can tell dude was so floored the best he could come up with is “call is coming from inside the house.” if it was a plant i’d sure hope he’d write a better joke in preparation 😭
these posts keep saying “palestinians and jewish ppl” when it should be palestinians and israelis. you’re purposefully fueling propaganda that is making this about religion when it’s not. its about an oppressive regime enacting genocide on palestinians
@hcneyfromeden
honestly the feminism issues in bridgerton have made me so uncomfy bc race just isnt an aspect in this universe?? so every time one of the rich white ladies talks about sexism i just roll my eyes bc thats how its like irl when white women talk lol

i was there, my sister was the biggest fan (which is why i became one, i grew up with it) and if you were outside the genre then you called it cringey bc of the hair and the clothes and the ridiculous of the music video premise like idk what to tell you
it’s always daemon groomed rhaenyra but then the analysis stops their for them never how could rhaenyra’s perception of consensual sex be fucked up because of him and how she would perceive alicent as going after viserys because that’s what she believes she is doing with daemon

i also think having a woc as the main love interest (with her sisters having important roles too) after a long drought of good romcoms helped a lot imho
“Thousands dιed. Yet none of these losses were
felt so deeply as that of Jacaerys, Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne.”

i dont think you understand how hard nickeldeon pushed back on anything regarding korrasami. They literally took away their airtime and only made the last season online only. did little to no promotion. cut their budget, and vetoed everything as much as possible +
i remember after lexa’s death in t100 (2016), it sparked a larger conversation about queer stories and the need for happier ones and how dangerous it was to see no happy endings & lives for us. this backtrack is wild to see only seven years later
craig saying it was the easiest decision of joel’s life bella saying ellie forced herself to believe joel so she doesnt have to cope with the person she trusts more took away what she thought was her purpose merle crying explaining marlene & anna
@colbridgertons
like i’m sorry im never gonna be mad at a girlie critiquing an imperial power especially when said girlie is nobility herself 💀 like let the rich ppl fight !
and behind the scenes the actors were homophobic, fatphobic, the whole brown face issue, casting a non-disabled actor for a disabled character role, lightwashed jesper…..
with the way people were talking about her I went into this movie thinking she was gonna be straight up abusive towards mei but no she’s just a kind of overprotective. that HAG from encanto however…
“ThIs iS Bi eRaSuRe” literally no it isn’t. Date or fuck or marry whoever you want, none of us care. We care that you throw a tantrum when you and your absolute dud of a boyfriend aren’t given the red carpet rollout you want at the cool queer events. Grow up.
spent an hour on her tiktok & when she does ootd she lists where she got everything and always jokingly says the baby is from “some random man in atlanta.”
so she made merch with that on it. then BD called and told her to jump off a cliff.
she put that on a shirt too💀
@Capsicle1949
my dad pointed out that from the first time we see her she acts more robotic bc she was treated as a weapon but by gotg3, she’s been loved and treated as the human she is so her movements/mannerisms arent robotic anymore
Joel Oulette has been cast as Hahn (Princess Yue's betrothed) in the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series!

@oofouchoww
this was a perfect opportunity after the mess of wanda and wandavision and they wasted it Like they could’ve totally made billy and tommy more accurate + recast wanda accurately and use the whole multiverse thing as an explanation. disappointed but not at all surprised
cant believe i ended up liking a show called warrior nun but hey its reallyrwallyREALLY gay and theyre about to break into the vatican and expose its corruptness so 🫶🏼
at marcus’ mom’s funeral when he said that thing about two ppl being so close that they can communicate deeply without even talking and the camera was focused on syd and carmy yupyupyup
no bc i went to a ndn comedy show one night and the bit was all the comedians were native and one of them was indian and mans walked out on stage looking around and went “i think im the wrong kinda indian you guys are talking about” and i lost it

twitter blue was a thing before the check marks started and no one cared or wanted it until they could get their own lil check so it is literally paying money every month just for the display
the conversation shouldnt be around eds or taylor swift’s experience, it should be around the word itself and how we as a society only ever view the word fat in a hateful, negative way
their entire s2 storyline is about them becoming closer through their letters and a large chunk of colin’s screen time was spent with her in that season like wdym
The problem with this season is that it has no narrative. You know they are friends because they tell you but they don't have scenes or intimate momentos of that friendship. They go from "I would never have anything with her" to "I can't stop thinking about her" in one chapter.
nothing about this is reassuring like an openly queer person is suddenly aligning himself with a mega church that does conversion therapy ?? and he seems so unwell and shaky like ??? im concerned yall and ive never cared for this white boy

that’s absolutely insane😭 Lara Jean being half korean is like a decent sized chunk of the books. her dad tries so hard to keep his girls connected to their heritage it’s so cute🥺
@wintrfcll
not to mention she came from a relatively peaceful part of westeros and never saw stuff like that why would she assume that’s the way joffery would go with her own father whos just and fair
SAY IT WITH ME FRIENDS !!! katara would never want to rule the colonizer nation that destroyed her people’s culture and community and murdered her mother and kept her father from her most of her life
The same Katara who fought against Hama because she knows that random civilians of the Fire Nation are innocent? The same Katara that refused to give up on helping citizens of the Fire Nation after their village was polluted? I think she would help a nation that needs to be fixed
Imagine how the world would be different if they had Katara show up married to/or admitting her love for Zuko in TLOK.
There would be peace among all nations.

@indigo_eyes
she was like “i know and now you know i know so watch it :)” in a subtle enough way that it didn’t ignite scandal but it sure got her point across
i hate everyone pitting polin & kathony against each other bc all its doing is leaving the women of the ships vulnerable to more racism & fatphobia that they already face. its huge to have a dark skinned woc and a fat woman as leads in a popular romance show !! lets not ruin it !

this is a good point i never really thought about.
that being said i do think mako is capable of that (he managed to lightning bend while being blood bent) but when he uses it, its in moments where he doesn’t have time to do a wind up for a powerful one hitter

@fka_joshy
THIS !!!! like there are a lot of venues where it’s just standing room but the bigger the venue/bigger the act, you’ll have more “luxuries” and convenience of your own spot bc you are paying way more. nobody is really sitting during the show unless they have to
“its pretty clear they were original endgame” each book started and ended with “a girl and a boy” who are mal and alina like what are you talking about
it’s pretty clear they were the original endgame for the series but something shifted between each book coming out. there was a real chance for a complex, layered, EARNED love story between actual enemies but instead we got a complete disregard for what made the story interesting
this is soooo juicy idk why targ fans often hate when they’re shown as anything short than gods. the targs are hide behind a fragile, gilded image. seeing that image crack and crumble is so much more interesting than watching a show of invincible, stereotypical “chosen” ones
i’m so tired of ppl saying jlaw was perfectly casted. she did a good job yes. but she was whitewashed. katniss is a brown woman who’s very Indigenous coded. a white woman is not and will never be perfect for the role of katniss everdeen
the way she intentionally called rhaenyra his wife and then referred to her as a child he knew since she was born she really said certified lover boy? nah certified ped0phile

@korrasami19
the main issue is nickelodeon never made it clear how many seasons it was going to have, and basically implied each one was the last one, so they had to have contained arcs every season
all the darklinas screaming at what could’ve been when i guarantee yall that seeing the gross way yall were treating the pair was a factor in this change
