team ‘enemies to lovers’ or team ‘friends to lovers’?

enemies to friends to lovers you fool you absolute buffoon

I’m actually done, I refuse to read a book with a female character in it written by a man over 40. I never thought I would ever had to read the phrase “she had D cup guts, but a trainer bra brain”

I don’t know what the fuck that means

the fact that pro-monarchy arguments have degenerated, over the past few centuries, from “the king rules by divine right and is accountable to nobody but god”, to “uhm the royals generate a lot of income from tourism” will never stop being extremely funny to me

the monarchs… bad. but the castles? oh, the castles are positively lush with rats… 👅

I’m at my dog sitting job in a pretty old countryside farm and the lady who does the cleaning up here told me this morning that there are old tunnels (now closed up) running from the house to the church (1km) and I did not want to know that

Imagine what could come from there? Ghouls, ghosts, vampires?

With Ariel being black, just think of the loss reputation. A Danish girl or boy who hasn’t heard their accent or seen their culture in a Disney movie like that. Yeah there’s a lot of white representation but that’s English and American representation. Maybe Disney should be making new princesses for reputation rather than us taking over one just to get that freedom. They can make a movie about animals in Africa but not people?

For the last time ARIEL ISN’T DANISH! She’s from a mythical underwater kingdom. Her story doesn’t even take place in Denmark and no one speaks Danish. Yeah Hans was a Danish man but he never specifically set the story of TLM in Denmark

Were you this concerned when British Lily James and Emma Watson played Ella and Belle, two French characters?

Were you upset when Australian Adelaide Kane, played Mary Queen of Scots?  Or when Toby Regbo and Meghan Fellowes played French and Italian royals?

Or when Borgias and Medici Masters of Florence cast mostly Northern European actors to play Italians?

Or when The Spanish Princess cast Charlotte Hope as Catherine of Aragon, despite not being Spanish?

Or when Kristen Stewart, Lilly Collins, and Ginnifer Goodwin played Snow White, despite none of them being German?

Or when Margot Robbie, an Australian, played Queen Elizabeth?

Are you bothered by Alexander Ludwig and Amber Heard (reportedly) playing Hercules and Meg, even though they’re not Greek?

Or when Natalie Portman and Scarlet Johanssen played Anne and Mary Boleyn?

Or when Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston, and Rene Russo all played gods from Norse mythology?  Not one of them is Scandinavian.

Or when Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig played Swedish characters in the Girl with The Dragon Tattoo? 

Why does Ariel’s casting bother you more than any of these others? 

I’m screaming over op complaining about the lack of Danish representation as if there isn’t like… an entire Danish film and television industry, lmao. It’s not like ya’ll don’t make your own media where you represent yourselves. You don’t need an American company making an English language movie to give you representation.

Also I just love your opening sentence “with Ariel being black, just think of the loss of representation.”

“With Ariel being black” you say. Not with “Ariel being American” not even with “Ariel being African-American”but with her being black. Real great the way you just… imply that being danish and being black are mutually exclusive. As if there aren’t any Danish black people. Which is crazy given- last I checked- there have been black people living in Denmark for literally centuries.

I also love the way you continue with “Yah, there’s white representation, but that’s English and American representation.” Implying, again, that you think Danish=White. That if we had a Danish Ariel she would naturally have to be white. Even though there are black Danish women.

It’s clear op, that your problem is with Halle Bailey’s race and not her nationality.

I don’t know why, but I think some Americans don’t realise how big the UK is….

American Customer: you’re English right? Do you know the bookshop between Wales and Bristol that has lots of books in?

Me in my head: yeah mate, I know that one. Classic. Love to pop down there on a cheeky break between work. What a wanker…

the continuous 48 states are is almost 39x the size of the isle of great britan

that’s your answer

For reference:

That’s JUST Texas.

When will the UK learn that they are puny little ants in which to be crushed???

where’s that post where the british person was like “oh yeah i only get to see my dad 2-3 times a year because he lives so far away :/” and a person asked “oh no how far away is he?” and the british person said “75 minutes”

op it literally takes about 20 minutes to get to wales from bristol, op that’s a reasonable question do you understand geography

leave europe alone you fucking colonizers

It takes my mom an hour to drive to work. Sometimes more. Europeans are cowards.

“Leave Europe alone you fucking colonizers” Should we tell them?

I drove 6 hours just to pick someone up and bring them home because it’s nbd

Sorry, I’m still stuck on “Leave Europe alone, you colonizers.”

do they know

I wanna know the bookstore, there can only be so many in 20 minutes of metro

Yeah, only in excess of 200 bookstores in that area. Shouldn’t be hard to find at all.

Ahh the good old classic ‘lol you Brits have such a small country. We Americans must drive hours to get anywhere. 2 hours to get something is nothing’ 

Sure, you’re right. If your nearest walmart, or workplace is 2 hours commute of course you’re going to do that and think it’s nbd. If your family lives 6 hours away, and it’s totally normal for you to drive that far in a day to see them, then you’re not going to think that’s weird.

That isn’t the case in the UK. It’s not because of the size of the place (because for the last fucking time; we get it, Texas is really big) it’s how amenities are planned out with regards to settlements. 

For instance: Someone who lives in the US might have a hour and a half trip to the nearest Mall to where a decent bookstore is. That’s perfectly normal and fine for them. For me, even in rural England, I just catch a bus that’s at a stop 5 minute walk from my house and in 15 minutes I’m in the city centre with 21 bookstores at my disposal. I don’t need to travel an hour and a half to get to a bookstore, because to travel an hour and a half (minus traffic) would put me in fucking Worcester (where I will find another 15 bookshops and does not count all the bookshops I will find en-route). 

All my family live within a 20 minute driving radius. I still don’t see them that often because we’re busy. I’d probably see them the same amount as when I lived 2.5 hours away from them, which is about twice a year (Christmas/Birthdays/Weddings etc). If I drove 6 hours to pick a friend up I’d end up in Glasgow. I’d be able to pick up somecunttookmyurl for some inexplicable reason. However, from my point of view I’ve just driven to fucking Scotland, which while it’s part of the UK is another whole ass country and to me ‘driving to another country’ in relative terms is pretty fucking far. (tbh she’d wonder why I drove there because instead of wasting money on petrol for my car she’d get the Megabus and be here in around the same time for a fraction of the price it’d take me to drive there and back again).

And that’s the key phrase isn’t it? In relative terms.

Americans can drive 2.5 hours to work because in relative terms for them that’s pretty reasonable because it’s where the nearest city is and that’s where the work is. That’s the reality of necessity for them because jobs and amenities are that far away. You’re not that densely populated because your country is so large.

The British can, and do, drive 2.5 hours to work but that tends to be in exceptional cases, because that’s where their job is, but in most cases our jobs, shops, any amenities are within less than an hour from where they live. So, in relative terms, the thought of having to drive 2.5 hours to get to a bookshop seems absolutely insane because we’re very densely populated and there are 12 in a 20 minute radius. We don’t want or need to go far because we’re smaller and therefore everything is much closer.

That’s why OP was like ‘which fucking bookstore between Wales and Bristol?’ because for an American that might be like 3 bookstores and nothing much else (except cooooooooooooooooorn), but for someone who lives in the UK in just that area between Cardiff and Bristol knows that there are 81 bookshops in Cardiff alone, and another 77 in Bristol. This doesn’t take into account all the bookshops that are in towns in between them, which as somecunttookmyurl says totals in excess of 200. 

So really it comes down to perspective and necessity. Americans need to go that far because that’s where someone has built the nearest bookstore and assumes that the same holds true here. The Brit is incredulous because we don’t need to go that far for a bookstore and they’ve just been asked to pinpoint a specific bookstore in an area where there are in excess of 200 of them. 

To be honest, at the end of all of this I’m sorry people have to drive 2.5 hours to get to a decent bookstore. Maybe someone should build one closer so you don’t have to brag about driving so far to an amenity that by rights should be much more accessible than it currently is. 

200 BOOKSTORES IN 20 MINUTES DRIVING?!

I would die. Do you understand I would die. have you seen Read or Die? That;s me, right there.

What I have learned today is American needs more bookstores and better public transportation.

It’s not 20 minutes between Cardiff and Bristol it’s a whole goddamn hour

The person up there lied. I mean you have to go near the M5, which was built by Satan himself, and can delay a journey by nearly an hour or more if you’re trying to get to somewhere like Somerset. 

And if you go by public transport it’s about the same:

Because for some reason people think crossing the Bristol fucking Channel is quick and easy. An hour is a long way to go for a bookstore when you’ve got about 70 right in the place you currently are.

If you’re in either of those cities, just stay in that city. You’ve got enough stores to cover you, unless the rare bookshop in the other city has the book you want, then of course go get it. Otherwise you’re just travelling needlessly. 

Do Texans literally know every book shop in the entire state?

Look, why are all you Brits in this thread dodging the question?

Do you fucking know it or don’t you?
