hint
tinyfist:
If you think some characters just “work better” (wtf does that even mean?) when white, that just might be your chance to examine all our axes of privilege and assumptions about how the world is structured. (Further hint: it’s always more complicated than you think.) Not to mention your own ideas about what “default whiteness” might just entail.

I worry about Penumbra...
windyasylum:
Because we’re dealing with quantum mysticism and binding it to the astrological (and mathematical) expertise of ancient Mesoamerican and Andean cultures. We’re researching and taking what we know from my own roots, and creating a fantasy world - and yes, there will be “magic”, there will be supernatural elements, but there’s so much more to it. What Loren and I have always wanted...

Yeah.
We all have one.
And we can only hope that the “unintentionally” rings true.

Also, no matter what my best friend says about...
he will forever embody the Aquarian male. Just. All of it.
Libra/Aquarius friendships ftw!
(Well, air signs in general + the occasional Sag/Taurus/Scorpio/Pisces have made their way into my inner circles too.)
All that stuff about them not wanting/considering a long term relationship until all their friends fall into one, and then wanting to test the waters simply because they feel...

ophiucha asked: I love the concept of Tiana, but the fact that she spends most of the film - hell, her *wedding* - as a frog always bothered me. There's just no reason for it. If nothing else, it deviates grotesquely from the fairy tale by having that happen. I like that they did something different with it, and I'll never complain about "Friends on the Other Side" existing, but... yeah,...

So I had a really great time today actually.
It started off with a discussion of life, which is kind of sad because only two members of the group have…idk…goals? (SIGH)
Still!
Fun!
More nights should be spent eating food with the buds and playing Dance Central.
Also, I bought myself a cute sweater so there’s that too.

Also I am in an emotionally anxious state.

Friends and I are trying to go to start up a post-thanksgiving-thanksgiving since we’re “adults”, and it’s tomorrow. I am concerned.
I am concerned.
It’s going to be either awesome, or a really awkward last hurrah.
I will do my best to be...

FTR: Analyzing these readings on eroticism in...
IT’S INTERESTING. Yet…
If we talk about shipping so help me…
Actually no. I take it back. Having finished the reading, I can say that it’s fascinating.
Plus I am totally okay with writing a paragraph or two on how sexy Azula is in terms of the writings of Lordes.
Have a loose brainstorming type thing that I’ll clean up and maybe post as an essay or something...

To further elaborate on the whole interview thing:
During the interview I got asked what my long term goals were and I said to change media standards and include a wider variety of people in media.
Then they laughed.
It wasn’t even a oh haha your dreams are so big and ambitious.
It was just.
Laughter.
I didn’t even get a chance really to talk about what needed to change and...
