PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF WHAT THE HONG KONG PROTESTORS DID/WORE! THIS IS SERIOUS. THEY ARE AIMING FOR THE

all this talk about how weaponizing the fold will only increase anti-Grisha sentiment when it's already been established in canon that they're still undergoing heavy persecution is so strange to me. they're already being sold out to the enemy by their own countrymen as well as experimented on and burned alive overseas...how much worse can it possibly get? they're already balancing on the knife edge of being at risk of genocide. (sidebar: I hate how this show attempts to justify their persecution by laying the blame at Aleksander's feet. that conversation with Baghra where she tells him he's responsible for the 'war on Grisha' even before the creation of the Fold is so awful.)

if Alina and the gang had just let Aleksander usurp the king I'm inclined to believe the situation for Grisha in Ravka could only have been improved. and for all that I see claims of Aleksander's belief in Grisha supremacy, I've yet to find any support or evidence for that in the text. if he wanted to enslave all otkazat'sya or get revenge on them surely that would have come up at some point? instead he's a loyal patriot to the country of Ravka and is more interested in cleaning house of the corrupt Lantsov regime.

if I'm wrong please feel free to correct me, because I actually would be interested in seeing if there are passages in the books where the Darkling goes full Magneto.

Since I see this word thrown around causally on here, this is a reminder that the Darkling does not commit genocide. He’s a mass murderer, but genocide has a specific meaning.

Criticise him for what he does - murdering civilians, mutilating Genya, assaulting Alina, but don’t call him genocidal.

thank you for @okvolkee for alerting me of this!!

justin colby has been taken into custody by chicago police, and his family hasn’t heard from since. the police is now lying that they have him in his custody.

[image description: the first tweet is by user trillxmomma and reads, in all caps, “HF STUDENT JUSTIN COSBY TAKEN INTO POLICE CUSTODY LAST NIGHT AND NOW HE IS MISSING”. attached are to the tweet are two photos. the first photo is a screenshot of a facebook message from user grace tosi. it reads “Justin Cosby is missing. He is one of ours. He is apart of the HF community. HE IS MISSING. He was arrested, and from what I heard, also beaten because he squirted CPD with water guns at last nights protest. That should not result in being beaten and arrested. If you hold any type of power, use it for good now. Right now. Make your calls. Help his family find him. He was arrested around 8:30 pm and that was the last time he was seen. His date of birth is 8/14/2000. Are you still wondering how you can help all that’s going on? HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.” the second photo attached to the tweet is a photo of justin cosby. he is a young black man with short textured hair. he is wearing a dark blue zip up jacket that has a blue “M” on the chest.]

[image description: the second tweet by user “imyagirleva” and reads “Justin Cosby was detained by the police last night at the protest, and no one has heard from him since 8:40pm. THIS WAS THE LAST TIME HE WAS SEEN. His mother needs help finding him. She has called around and heard nothing. Please help!” attached to the tweet is a photo of a large group of chicago police men, at least ten cops, surrounding and restraining justin cosby. justin is looking at the camera in the photo, and he is slouched over while the police have his hands tied and are holding him up.]

[image description: the third tweet is by user jehanpatterson. it reads in all caps, “CHICAGO POLICE IS TELLING HIS PARENTS THEY DO NOT HAVE HIM IN CUSTODY. THEY ARE LYING ABOUT HIS LOCATION. WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM IN 17 HOURS.”]

i said it on twitter and i'll say it here.

If I have an A level in a foreign language, do I need to go to language school as an AU pair?

Right. After seeing the teaser and the buzz on the Internet.

I decided to buy the book "shadow and bone", I'm on chapter 6 - it's really WONDERFUL so far- But I'm madly in love with the "Darkling".

I first felt that they were going to push Mal and Alina down my throat, you know like the annoying trope of unrequited love, until one day they see each other 🤮.

But from kinky blood play, to chopping a man in half for her, to SHARING A HORSE, to joking around with each other.

Excuse while they become my new obsession!!!

But I'm a little worried as he is called the "darkling", like c'mon, you could try to be a little more inconspicuous!

Prayer circle. Please don't be evil! Prayer circle.

We are an opportunistic bunch but only because 1)we have dealt with badly written shows before and know the pain 2) we want everyone to experience the catharsis & euphoria of your favourite (queer) characters being treated right 3) Black Sails really is the best thing out there and we are bitter it never got the exposure it deserved Tldr: Please watch the show to have outdone all shows & ended homophobia ☠️🏳️‍🌈

Leigh: I'm gonna make a dark edgy universe with ongoing genocide on witches for centuries. It'll be like the Avatar but the elements of the four nations are: Nazi Witch Hunters, Persecution, Prison camps to torture and experiment on witches, and Slavery.

And then, I'm gonna make a character who fights back, creates a safe space for witches, finds a way to make them indispensable to the king, and plans to put an end to the ongoing genocide.

Readers with functional braincells: Is that your hero?

Leigh: Hero? No! Oh God, no!!! Where did you get that impression??? He's the VILLAIN with a capital V!!! Ugh, I guess I'll have to add more nonsensical mustache twirling evil villainous visuals to make it clear. Maybe throw in a black cape and shadow magic into the mix while I'm at it.

Readers still refusing to shut their brain before reading YA: So what do your heroic leaders want?

Leigh: Its really brilliant and subversive actually! Get rich quick hustles for money. Housewife to the first boy to talk to her. And inherit a royal title from his father.

Readers refusing to kill their reading comprehension: So what about the persecuted witches?

Leigh: What about them? Oh...maybe I'll make up magic cocaine that's highly addictive to the witches and overworks them to death to speed up the genocide now that the horrible evil villain advocating for them is dead and modern technology renders grisha useless anyway. No point in letting them just live am I right? xoxo grimdark edgelord girl
