Laughed so hard at Matt’s whispered “that’s why they built the handles” about the Beacon after Lieve’tel failed that wisdom save and got distracted. He’s wanted to explain that worldbuilding for a while haha.

Need everyone that watches tlovm to know that in the campaign they spend a good third of an episode having a “cannonball” contest in Scanlan’s mansion. Spells are used. Explosives are set off. Grog is judging and Percy wins because he’s the only one that draws blood.

Thank you for your time

For posterity

Percy how much fucking wine did you drink???

Oh thank gods 🙏😭

Putting the term "male gaze" on top of the fridge until everyone remembers that it refers to a cinematographic trend and not the act of looking at things while being a man

male gaze is when TV and movies frame the world as if the viewer is automatically a man, specifically a heterosexual man. this manifests in how women are presented onscreen especially

Anyway. This is incredible news and this species of animal is very special, very ancient, and very cool.

Truly generations of work went into accomplishing this--many of the people who started this work never got to see its success or know that what they did would eventually lead to a species returning to its homeland for the first time in centuries.

You know what, despite the horrors, at least there's still butches.

peaches update: she sits like this now

saw this thumbnail at the edge of my vision while watching a different youtube video and for one single, glorious moment, i thought it was philomena cunk inexplicably chosen as the spokesperson for the american affordable care act, ready to talk me through open enrollment and finding a plan that works for me, and obviously that makes zero sense for a wide variety of reasons, but that one solitary second where it did appear to be the case—it's gonna stick with me, i think.

"why we build the wall" from hadestown is really gonna trip up future media analysis students. they'll be like "ah a piece of media from the 2010s referencing building a wall to keep out the poor, clearly this is a reference to the president of the united states from 2016-2020", and then their professor will have to be like "actually the concept album for this musical came out in 2010"

how i hope this conversation goes from there is like:

"actually the concept album for this musical came out in 2010 and the original song was written in 2006"

"so she knew about the wall 10 years before Trump proposed it be built?"

"well, let's talk about that...

...but that wasn't when the wall was first built...

...this shift in the '90s marked the start of an enforcement philosophy called Prevention Through Deterrence, which basically says that if crossing is made more deadly, fewer people will cross (fact check: it just means that more people die on the journey). From the start, the purpose of the wall was not to physically to stop people from crossing -- it was to make it more deadly to do so.

...and we can also look at the song metaphorically and expansively, as a reference to the policing of migration, to company towns, to gated communities, and the physical and metaphorical walls that throughout history have kept people in and out and defined who does and don't belong.

"...how did you just say a hyperlink?"

"why worry about that when you can use this show as an entry-point into a deeper understanding of capitalism's investment in coercive control over human migration, and its long history in the United States?"

"so the song only seems prophetic because the long history of policing and militarizing the border has been ignored, and treated as an outsider position by Trump rather than the continuation of bi-partisan policy dating back decades? and it can be seen to reflect larger patterns of capital controlling people's movement in order to extract land, labor, wealth, and ultimately life from them?"

"and the song slaps"

"....and the song slaps"

thank you so much for this well-researched response tho because, as a texan, the very concept that trump invented the idea of the border wall made me kinda. reboot. not mad at op! just surprised at the difference in our life experiences
