palaceoffunk replied to your post: Your know, the more hate those people post about Elementary the more I want to watch it. Congratulations Sherlock fandom mission failed! (*sigh* If only Elementary’s Holmes was a women too)

Elementary already has one up on BBC Sherlock by casting a 1) Lead female character 2) Who is a POC and 3) Is not an antagonist. I don’t know how they’ll handle her but so far, that’s more than Moffat and Co. have done.

these are all good points and very true and i agree with all of them*, but i think we should also give credit where credit is due and salute stephen moffat for inventing knitting, scarves, sweaters, and peacoats.

*lol like wow i am still kind of surprised and delighted that lucy liu is watson? like, what?? what sacrifice do we owe what god that such a thing should happen on a major network???

palaceoffunk replied to your post: i just cannot possibly overstate how deeply in…

Lmao! Barnaby’s butt makes me so sad. It’s not even deserving of an extra “t.” It’s just a “but.”

Trigger warning for more talk of racism.

palaceoffunk replied to your post: In reference to this quote (“Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and a preference, it does not necessarily mean a prejudice. If you consider preference a prejudice, you are just as guilty as whom you accuse.”) and your reaction: So… I’m racist for not being sexually attracted to certain types of people? I hardly think that’s fair.

I find it very telling that none of these ~preferences~ folks have explained exactly why they don’t find “certain types of people” attractive. Probably because they’d have to deal with owning up to their subconscious racism, and we can’t have that!

DING DING DING DING DING DING

WHERE IS YOUR PRIZE

oh wait there it is

more racism

yo what prop is that?

Prop 34 apparently.

Also prop 36 will amend the 3 strike law.

IDK all the details of either one yet but I def strongly suggest all registered cali voters to do so!

palaceoffunk replied to your video: So, what I’m getting from this show is “Minority woman is an irresponsible parent and both her biological AND adopted-ish daughters are better off with the affluent white family.” Wow.

lol I accidentally deleted my original but yes.  If you are getting that vibe from the preview, you are getting the vibe from the entire program and it is absolutely terrible.  Especially when the Kennishes are not great parents at all.  The way they have treated Bay throughout the program should be labelled as emotional neglect.  They are quick to throw money around to solve problems, see their reaction to Toby’s gambling addiction.  The only adult in this show that has shown common fucking sense has been Regina.  She does not allow anyone to treat Daphne less than human.  She took Bay aside and discussed her issues with alcohol when she caught Bay drinking.  And she was the only one who actually talked to Toby about his gambling addiction and offered him the help and advice he fucking needed.  She’s the only responsible character in this series so it is terrible that the show is framing it the opposite the direction.  Then, given that Regina is a working class Latina and the Kennishes are upper class white people, the implications are far worse.  I am sick of it.

palaceoffunk replied to your postwhat are some of your favorite films with a diverse cast?

omg, Idlewild! I remember loving that movie (and its soundtrack) when it came out but being disappointed that it didn’t get more love. I should watch it again.

Gurl yes! That movie is sooo underrated, even though it’s beautifully done and the soundtrack is perfection. I need to find my dvd, I know it exists.

Wild Wild West is a family favorite over here. ‘Batty loves him some steam-punk Spider Mechs and catchy tunes.

Another movie with an excellent soundtrack.

I mean c’mon. Blackstreet’s Confused? Breeze’s HeroBailamos! The theme song?! Itwasallsogreaaaat.

palaceoffunk replied to your post: Guys help me with trigger warnings.

My only guess would be that because Chris is much older than Derek (he’s at least around Papa Stilinski’s I assume), the age gap between Stiles and Chris is more…triggering, I suppose? than the age gap between Stiles and Derek.

I mean, I assume so. That makes sense to me, I get that!  But I just want an accurate tag for this I guess?  So I’m thinking ‘tw age difference’? Or something like that…

palaceoffunk replied to your post: Lmao, I just went over to AO3 and clicked on the Danny tag to see how much fic I could find with him in it, and just about all of them feature Sterek. HOW???

THIS SHIP IS SO UBIQUITOUS. I wish i could blacklist it from my entire life.

palaceoffunk replied to your post: LMAO. It’s so prevalent all over fandom, I don’t understand. And IA about more Danny fic! Jackson has apparently hit on him before if that “not my type” was any indication, Stiles is concerned if Danny thinks he’s attractive, and Scott has his coach thinking he and Danny are an item. A canonically gay POC is on the show and EVERYONE loves him, but the biggest ship in fandom are two (so far) straight white dudes. ICU fandom.

yes EXACTLY IT GETS ME SO ANGRY

THE MOST TRANSPARENT SHIT

palaceoffunk replied to your post: This ship will continue to perplex me until the end of time.

omg i GET it but i don’t understand WHY EVERYONE SHIPS IT

WHY IS 80% OF THE FANFIC ON AO3 DEREK/STILES 

AND WHY IS IT SOME KAWAII UGUU~ SHIT ABOUT HOW STILES’ KOKORO DOKI-DOKIS FOR DEREK AND VICE-VERSA BUT THEY CAN’T TELL EACH OTHER UNTIL THEY DO AND THEN THERE’S SEX AND EVERYTHING IS FINE AND DANDY

AND WHYYYYY CAN’T I FIND ANY DECENT STILES/DANNY FANFIC

Sad thing is, I could have gotten in today if I was still in Nebraska.  No matter the time zone, I wake up at eight am.  I have a weird as internal clock that seems to not understand the concept of jet lag.

palaceoffunk replied to your post: lolllllll. but I’m also jealous because I never signed up and don’t know what the hell’s going on whoops :(

I just want in.  I missed the first day because I didn’t have access to a computer.  I was up for registration.  I missed today by five minutes, literally.  I live a blessed life.
