So for one of my classes,
poisonyourbreath:
I’m supposed to study some aspect of feminism this semester. And by some miracle, I can study feminisms outside of the U.S.! I was hoping to study feminisms in South Asia, but I don’t know where to start. It could be an organization or a person or anything; it’s completely open on what I want to research, even a historical organization that doesn’t exist anymore. I’d just like...

10 things
glamaphonic:
1) There are endless, ENDLESS things that could go wrong with a CBS drama about Sherlock Holmes with Lucy Liu as Rule 63 Dr. Watson. From all the things that usually plague female characters and, especially, WoC characters in western entertainment to the show just being plain shitty.
2) None of these things is how now there won’t be pandering queer subtext. Literally none of them....

Guys. You guys. Maybe that’s where Petyr Baelish came from.
Like back in the day [Name Goes Here] Baelish decided he needed an heir but didn’t want to have to knock up some lady to do so.
So he cut off his pinkie finger and made a clone.
And that’s the real reason Petyr’s called Littlefinger.
And his dad just made up the whole thing about him having a mother named...

NOT BLACKFACE. NOT RACIST JOKES.
Nope, it was Chris Rock telling the truth about Hollywood’s racism:
“Chris Rock followed with a racial joke, about black men getting lousy roles even in animated films. It may have been in questionable taste, but it jarred the show closer to modern times.”
I know none of us are surprised but…are you fucking...
Hmm. According to the Jackets’ GM, Rick Nash asked to be traded.
Which contradicts prior reports.

fuckyeahfeminists:
I am fuming. As a former waitress, I know how fucking hurtful this is. Does this even cover the credit card fee that the server will have to pay? This is fucking ridiculous, vindictive and mean. Being a server IS a real job. And if everyone had “real jobs” who the fuck would serve asshats like you, jerk?

The K3G Consulting Criminal AU or something
Wherein everyone is a plotting plotter except Rahul because LOL he cannot deduce anything.
What did I just do.
It’s fascinating how good Rohan is at keeping his eyes soft. As Anjali reaches out to touch his face, he’s the very picture of tenderness.
“Thank you,” she says, and there it is: an almost-imperceptible quirk at one corner of his mouth that gives him away. She daintily wipes away a...

The Bechdel Test and Race in Popular Fiction
crystalsavestheday:
1. It has to have two POC in it.
2. Who talk to each other.
3. About something other than a white person.
No Joss Whedon show passes, neither does Supernatural, or Being Human.
Veronica Mars passes, but doesn’t pass the original Bechdel Test.
Check out a few more here.
Ffff, I think the only show I currently watch that consistently passes is The Wire.

I am all for language evolving and all that, but “literally” now meaning “figuratively” gives me raaaaaaaaage.
THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT MEANS
THAT ISN’T EVOLUTION
Evolution is like “awesome” gradually coming to mean “something epic in a good way” instead of just “something epic.”
This is like if “awesome”...

“You just lied to my entire army, Kell.”
“No, Ham,” Kelsier said quietly. “I lied to my army.”
Ham paused. Then his face darkened.
Kelsier sighed. “It was only a partial lie. They don’t need to be warriors, they just have to look threatening long enough for us to grab the atium. With it, we can bribe the Garrison and our men won’t even...

The part which I hate on a personal level when it comes to Shae-hating is when people use the accent for the reason they are very annoyed by show!Shae.
That is, like, stupid.
I mean, it’s not like she is making up that accent.
That’s her accent. The actress’ accent. A non-fictional person.
I can understand how an actor or actress may be a reason to be annoyed with a...
