Multi Fandom but mostly going to be about Shadow and Bone. Stan Darkling | Jughead Jones | Riverdale | Dark Academia | Coffee | not here for your opinions

I love Fourth Wing like everything about this book speaks 10/10 but give it sometime and this book will become irritating for readers because of fans. The character of Xaden described to be POC which means he could be of any ethnicity and there’s no border line to think about or imagine him in anyway a reader want. The constant fight of trying him to be “black” because he’s POC doesn’t sit right with me.. like let me imagine him in any way I want other than white.. how hard it is to understand a POC can be anyone who’s non-white. Xaden could be southeast Asian, Italian, Hispanic, Arabic like his ethnicity could be anything. Tired of seeing same comments under every artist’s photo who haven’t drawn him as black “ erm! Your art is good but he’s POC that means black”

End of rant

Is there anyone left who Betty hasn’t have sex with or gone hard on?

Saw clips on my timeline and she’s literally become Archie female… everything with everyone

Princess Rhaenyra was also enamored of her uncle, for Daemon was ever attentive to her. Whenever he crossed the narrow sea upon his dragon, he brought her some exotic gift on his return.

What the hell do they think they are doing??!!?!?!?

Going on the TV and saying that

Do civilized people say things like that?

War is not normal, shouldn't be normalized in other countries just because they're not European white, blond with blue eyes.

Wars in Asia and the Middle East and Africa And South America are not normal. Wars on black, brown, Asians are not normal.

Kids being killed because of politics is not normal.

Yes, we feel sorry for Ukraine because innocent people are dying, but the hypocrisy that is shown on the news is maddening and disgusting.

Kashmir, Uighur, Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and anywhere else where the media doesn't cover.

We support all of you, and it doesn't hurt less because you don't look like me.

I wish lesbians were as easy to find in real life as they are on tumblr

Well this is adorable!

This is the top quality I want on my dash. No other post besides this and Mash Potato the dog matters on this site.

the fact that the original post was made back in 2012 and the 1-year-old baby update was as recent as 2021, the development and plot that happened within this post in an almost nine year timespan …this person truly Won tumblr

Writing about a child rapist did not make Vladimir Nabokov a child rapist.

Writing about an authoritarian theocracy did not make Margaret Atwood an authoritarian theocrat.

Writing about adultery did not make Leo Tolstoy an adulterer.

Writing about a ghost did not make Toni Morrison a ghost.

Writing about a murderer did not make Fyodor Dostoevsky a murderer.

Writing about a teenage addict did not make Isabel Allende a teenage addict.

Writing about dragons and ice zombies did not make George R.R. Martin either of those things.

Writing about rich heiresses, socially awkward bachelors, and cougar widows did not make Jane Austen any of those things.

Writing about people who can control earthquakes did not make N.K. Jemisin able to control earthquakes.

Writing about your favorite characters and/or ships in situations that you choose does not make you a bad person.

It’s a shame that in this day and age these things need to be said.

Or, in short: the narrator =/ the author.

You know what else is a shame? This nowadays tendency of putting on the author the responsibility of teaching their readers morality.

Authors are allowed to write morally ambiguous characters.

Authors are allowed to write downright despicable characters - and guess what they are even allowed to make despicable characters charismatic and likeble and the protagonists of their stories if they wish - because absolute monsters exist only under the bed.

It is not up to the author to spoonfeed the readers about morality and Yes I know this character did a bad thing and I am going going to show it in the story and make other characters call them out of it and– Bullshit.

The authors should be able to write what they want without having thousands of people jumping and their throats claiming to know them, their ideas and their morality based on what they write.

It’s not up to the author to teach you about what is right and what is wrong.

It’s not up to the author to teach you about what is right and what is wrong.

This here. You don’t have to study literature to understand that no, books aren’t there to teach you about right and wrong. That happens at your family, to some degree at school, and yes, parents and teachers might use literature to emphasise their messages. But that doesn’t mean all - or even most - books exist for that purpose.

Adding more: Liking a certain character won’t make me like him/her

Liking a villain doesn’t make me a villain
