So there's [this *Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra* fanzine that's coming out](http://avatarfanzine.tumblr.com/), and both Bryan and Mike have been reposting some of the amazing art, but oh my god, [Makani's photo of the *Korra* grown-ups as dweeb teenagers](http://makanidotdot.tumblr.com/post/127990603981/my-submission-for) is doing things to my heart. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoydm14eTJMOC15bzhBMkJqYURPbU1qQk9PZzRyOU5sLUhFRGhSYkFGYm5SSlQ1Rl9kNUx4U3YzY1JTZndXTmhpeF9IeFpKWUlqekY1NXNkVG81bGhzMHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5b1l6Q3dtTDNXaVhBQk1BWlVObXZrNUNaMFlMNnFnb1JuSDRweWJTZExjV3JnRFNDUHNBcnlLdFA2OG1xeFFkMFhMMWRaejVGRkE5SE1wS1RvMlh5alhwRDR3SXZFZHhqZmJ5dDl1VHNyZjdON2QwYkE3NFNOSmFvMUxLMmtIdFpsWVAwbG51WUR0b3lwM3ZWWnlNZWVmSTNsb2hzczBRU203YUpVVmRXamRUUFBJZlpuTXF2RG5JWXpXYnVacURJ |

The four Shakespeare plays I've encountered in school are *Romeo & Juliet*, *Much Ado About Nothing*, *Julius Caesar*, and *Macbeth.*
>Do you consider yourself a fan of this show and/or part of this fandom? Why or why not?
I think I was the only kid in my class who was legitimately excited to start Shakespeare. However, I've never read a play outside of class, so I guess I'm not *that much* of a fan.
>Are there any elements to the writing that you really adore or abhor? Share your thoughts!
The language and style of writing. I'm not that smart. I can't understand wtf is happening. Thank the lord for "No Fear Shakespeare." It's got the original text printed next to a modern translation.
>Do you have any favorite fan art, fan fiction, adaptation, fan videos? We want to see them!
I do! I made a stop-motion video of *Julius Caesar* entirely out of eggs accompanied by the soundtrack to Lost for a school project (I got an A). It was epic. Unfortunately the only copy I have is on a DVD in my closet at my parents house D:
>Which is your favorite adaptation and why?
Joss Whedon's production of [*Much Ado About Nothing*](http://muchadomovie.com/) has always looked really good, and I was super excited for it before it came out, but somehow two years later I still haven't seen it D:
>Which is your least favorite adaptation and why?
I saw a production of *West Side Story* once, but it was like 75% in Spanish. I understand throwing *some* spanish in, but not to the point that non-spanish speakers literally couldn't follow the play. If they wanted to make it Spanish, that's fine, but don't advertise it as being in English.
>Favorite play?
*Julius Caesa*r. Although personally I think it should be called *Brutus* because that's who it's really about.
>If you think of any other points you want to bring up, please do!
My favorite line from *Julius Caesar* is when Cassius and Brutus tell each other "forever and forever farewell." | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyNVdCU2RkX0tSUzFwOWRpWnhudjhPNUN0R3VFeXBRM3ZKSDdnbmEtUklBRm1WNDFfTjdiaGpYanEwYi1hWGM2dEVvc0Z6a3J6THBlVnpUQUtvb2JFVEhSQ2MwUmRuUVNqbXBmNERFR1VlRXM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5X21SdlEtdVJib0VRMGJabG51bmN5SU1ZcGRUV1lXTlBUZHdZRzh1QnI3UWw1NXhZUHl6bmxsSGZoZWdCVkJhMHcwNTRQODB4S21BeVZoUXpzY0NPSkFnZGxEdlVuemZOYV9mWHkzNHpDZ0NVU3c2SVZvcWY0eFVPT0pZc2dHaFBscmlnQWtySFJ6NjgtWG5IckFPa1lDTGtYdUIxOWtTSkJud0FZdFpjeTJ1RV9DandGdm02MVliYU1iNFhJRXhORXM5LUVkdjNlVTJESVVDeFd1WVJWQT09 |
Seriously, we didn't get a Black Widow action figure because one person vetoed it? Will this also pave the way for more female-centric Marvel movies/shows? (I say more instead of "a", because they did allow for Agent Carter.)

I spent 18 months babysitting a script I found, fanficfare, to go through all 10 million stories on ffnet and save them as text files. I'm currently processing the huge gzip file, it's 108gb, expands to about 450gb, sorted by the script into ffnet's own category system, fandom first. I'm currently making a torrent, who wants to be a seeder?

It's because girls don't spend all day in their mother's basement jerking off to ponies and extra curvy pieces of driftwood. Half-kidding, of course. The problem lies in neurology and how neurochemicals behave differently in males and females brains. Unfortunately, modern society has viewed the primeval nature of males brain as an advantage to exploit, thus, the popularity of the sexual objectification of females. By no means, am I an expert in gender issues, but, I prefer to look at social issues as a combination of neurology and societal reinforcement.. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyQTRBTGcyYldyaGI3RmFhanEzbjliUUI1N2ZEVFZ4TFdkZi1QYXdxZEdHeFhnd2JjUlp5Ymxfc2xPRUlUS2JJS1Q0QWRRNWg3TkxjNU9tZ19yYk9FaFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5VnUzX2ZwdFQ4elRWckx2TVhFbzcxVVRTNXpuaHFXT25iYjl1V3FtbVYwLWM4Q19yZkp5b0p3RFlzZFg2a2h2LUEzS3JzU04zYzRZWkpQTElKTjVab2w2aGlhT1VaMFFCVFg3YWlmSlpxQVVraEY2OFltVnR5OG93VDZnV1d1TE1aZHdWUUxSRGJUcWVrU3lZUW1IdlIwQkVQMlRFenB6aG5nZEtVYkszSzMwV1E3Mkh0cE9Eai1SOEFvNUo1R05LTzhaY2tLdWxlemxXa1VYSHR2Sl9oQT09 |

>•Do you consider yourself a fan of this show and/or part of this fandom? Why or why not?
I took a Shakespeare class in college a few years ago because I didn't "get it." The teacher really helped me understand the beauty of Shakespeare and his writing.
>•Are there any elements to the writing that you really adore or abhor? Share your thoughts!
In his stories, Shakespeare wrote about the world. There is a lot to be learned about life in his words.
>•Do you have an unpopular opinion on any aspect of the canon or its fandom? What are they?
>•Do you have any personal life experiences that you feel either attracted you or repelled you from becoming a fan of this show and/or part of its fandom? Feel free to share: fans & even non-fans who still love to participate in discussions like these come from all walks of life & it's so rewarding to read about them!
Like I said, it was the class I took that helped me appreciate his work.
>•Do you have any favorite fan art, fan fiction, adaptation, fan videos? We want to see them!
>•Have you written any fan fiction, created any fan art, made any fan videos? We want to see those too!
I once directed a group in an acting class in a scene from *MacBeth*, except we rewrote it to be modern language. It was the scene where MacBeth meets the witches. We changed it so they met in a bar and the witches were the house band. When they cast a spell earlier in the scene, they did it as a rock song with guitar and bass.
>•Which is your favorite character and why? Which character do you hate?
Favorite: Horatio, because he is the most loyal. We could all use a friend like him.
Least favorite: Romeo, because he couldn't keep it in his pants on the rebound and a bunch of people died. Jaques, because he's a long winded whiner.
>•Which is your favorite adaptation and why? Which is your least favorite adaptation and why?
There are too many to pick just one.
*Midsummer Night's Dream* with Kevin Kline, Stanley Tucci, and Rupert Everett. All three of those actors do fantastic jobs.
Joss Whedon's *Much Ado About Nothing* because it shows how Shakespeare is still relevant today.
*Hamlet* with David Tennant and Patrick Stewart because they are both amazing actors.
*Othello* with Lawrence Fishburn and Kenneth Branaugh. Branaugh gives my favorite performance of his as Iago.
I'm not a big fan of Kenneth Branaugh's *Hamlet*. People point to it as the seminal adaptation of the play. Sure it adapts the complete text, but it's so boring. Derek Jacoby is such a better actor than Branaugh and completely outshines him in his portrayal of Claudius.
>•What is the most obscure adaptation that you're aware of?
I have a recording of *Much Ado About Nothing*, a recording of the stage play with David Tennant and Catherine Tate. Tate was my favorite companion to Tennant's Doctor, and it's great to see them face off against each other again.
I also have a recording of *Taming of the Shrew* done in a commedia dell'arte style, and it's fantastic.
>• If you could change certain aspects of the plays, what would it be?
I'm all right with changing some of the words if they'll probably not be understood now, or have the opposite meaning as they do now.
>•Favorite adaptations? Least favorite adaptations? Is there one you'd love to see done that hasn't been done yet?
I want to see *Midsummer Night's Dream* turned into a musical, because when they go to the forest, all the lines are in rhyme. Danny Elfman could do the music.
I also want to see a futuristic *Othello* where Othello is a cyborg and that's why he's discriminated against.
Finally, I want to see a version of MacBeth where the witches are just three old ladies who cast their curses while drinking tea and and laughing like nice old grannies.
>•Favorite play? Least favorite play?
*Hamlet's* probably my favorite, while *Romeo and Juliet* is probably my least favorite.
>If you think of any other points you want to bring up, please do!
There two fictional depictions of William Shakespeare that I love. The first is in *Doctor Who* where they meet him and he can tell just by looking at them that The Doctor is very old and Martha is from the future. I like how this depicts Shakespeare as having a prodigious knowledge of human nature. The second is in *Sandman,* where Shakespeare makes a deal with Morpheus to "write plays to give men dreams." I love the idea of great art, media, fiction or what have you to give men dreams, to make them think of a better world that can be. At one point, Puck, watching *A Midsummer Night's Dream* says "this didn't happen, but it's true." Although made up, fiction can contain much truth.

>Do you consider yourself a fan of this show and/or part of this fandom? Why or why not?
Ya. Shakespeare is considered one of the greatest authors of all time for a reason.
>Are there any elements to the writing that you really adore or abhor? Share your thoughts!
The language is just rich and great, although it takes time to warm up to. However, once you understand it, it is some of the greatest writing in all the english language. His speeches are fiery and passionate, rhetorically supreme and aesthetically pleasing. The only thing I don't care for so much is the comedy; It doesn't always translate well.
>Do you have an unpopular opinion on any aspect of the canon or its fandom? What are they?
I think *Caesar*, *The Tempest*, and *Comedy of Errors* are all over-rated plays. Still think they're good, though.

Read Brave New World and made me want to read Shakespeare; Bought a copy of the complete works and have read most of them since.
>Do you have any favorite fan art, fan fiction, adaptation, fan videos? We want to see them!
Can't say I do.
>Have you written any fan fiction, created any fan art, made any fan videos? We want to see those too!
No.
>Which is your favorite character and why? Which character do you hate?
Katherina (The Shrew), Timon of Athens, Polonius, Benedick, Falstaff, Olivia, Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, Gonoril/Regan, Coriolanus, Hamlet -- essentially all of the good ones
>Which is your favorite adaptation and why? Which is your least favorite adaptation and why?
I liked the recent Coriolanus movie.

There's a strange adaption of Measure for Measure I want to see.
>If you could change certain aspects of the plays, what would it be?

Redundant question. Though I would like more of the obscure plays produced, like Timon or Measure for Measure
>Favorite play? Least favorite play?
Favourite? Hamlet, Othello, or Much Ado. Least Favourite? Comedy of Errors. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-07 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyb25PUTFfSXpfSkJXcUYzTFBXVFNRYjBTVG1NZG85N3dUWGhaRFdsNjZ3MDlHcTlNT2FwbURWclFmUUctVzY5Ny04MEJlOUVQc0luVndDX0RIRTNfNkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5dENaUEVpUVdQS01ha19lWVl0dktKNGZBeDFUZzJNYUxFcktPUm1mSGQ3YlM0ZmJ0VW9jQjJkZU13S1lacVlXRTBkdUxwenVCVzdUc3Fzd1dGWWo0Qk5qWXR1dVdGWUs1Q2gydlNEOC1ISlhnb2E0UnpjY1ZjTDZWd1liTjY3YUtjdkE3elRZOUJGdDdiWlVnWXRwT1VSMzAtQnQ1V3gyOWtfb1ZXclhzUzhEREFvVHlPR3o5STRJVXYxN2Z2b0l5bzVRZzRwSVhET01yTUZBZzBvRXRhdz09 |

**We are in the process of getting 144hz monitors in the venue for the CS:GO events. There's a chance we'll have them by Oct 11th, i'll follow up with an answer on that as soon as I know.**
Q: Why Sunday?
A: Monday October 12 is Columbus Day and a Federal Holiday, so we figured what better way than to spend it fragging. | r/chicagogaming | post | r/ChicagoGaming | 2015-09-08 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoySGxUXzJ1c2hTRTVDMlB3TTFmNm45ZDBDODNWZXByWVlsMVpfYkxxWXdIOENSZDlkbWo5U1hLa1JBMlM0TUtnWkhvaE9WTXpDNzRNcXFHbjExcXhHQ0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5SFhKbXRkN0V4ajczWDJEOW45d1lqYjhFUFRiXzBoZU44cmNhT2gzeUJYeFJvU2I4ZEsyQmtPVXNjZmhYMzd3U1ZVVDR6czA5RnVrU0dJcWlnNUViNHhUcVhkMVB1ekFPRG55cVptOFgyRWJVc1Vaa2hkTDV0QmQ2S0VjWm1ZVU0yNEtaekREYlhaUlZPX2lPeFhDWXFjc05zcldiQlJlQkNWVzluTGNod2FuRkZITzFzMlJjeGp2NmNDd0ZrWWRva1U2dDB0Wk9Jd0duNmxBekhtNHFpUT09 |
**Paid**
I am happy to pay for these. I don't have a lot to spend, but I respect artists, being one myself (photographer). I need realistic charges. You tell me what the cost would be for the job. Since it is potentially for several maps (see below), maybe a bulk rate can be negotiated? I can pay via PayPal or Check, depending upon what works for both of us. Let's discuss the rates via Private Message.
**Subject**
I need customized maps of a variety of African countries (ie Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and more). I would likely only start with a commission of one country (Kenya), and provided it ends up well, I would want to get the others done. 10-15 in total. I'm looking for ones that are relatively simple, but look GREAT. They should feature National Parks, Conservancies, Lakes, Rivers and several cities/towns (no roads). If possible, I want some of various different elements to be split into layers, so I can hide town names or parks or something (negotiable if problematic or costly).
**Style**
Here i a link to a map I love that is basically in the style I like and also features most of the locations and features I want. http://www.africa-adventure.com/Jord.../kenya_map.jpg Here is the link spelled out as the forum is shortening it: www [dot] africa-adventure [dot] com / Jordan / images/ kenya_map.jpg
**Quality & Size**
These should be semi professional looking - see the Style to see what I mean. I would need them to be High Res enough for printing (8.5 x 11-ish). Vector graphics please - willing to discuss other methods for more artistic offerings.
**Time Constraints**
I don't know how long a job this is, but I could use the first few as soon as possible. Let's discuss what is realistic.
**Copyright**
I would need full copyright on these. I would be happy to credit you and your work, but once we own them, they are our to do with what we will (modify content as necessary). Again, some of this could be negotiable.
**Contact Details**
I am not sure if you can DM me. So, please send to me at nevernude815 --=At=-- gmail --D0T-- | r/mapprojects | post | r/mapprojects | 2015-09-08 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyUnRnbTVHVEVKRHBkMnZhSEtCRW56a2VGOGxXQ2c1RWV3TGFaWWtsN0o1QjFmUERvTzBZZUdsRzEzWUo0WDJpWjBHc3JNY0k1ZEdCVE5wOVRaclcxLVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5TnVrR1NoNVhuUnRkYXNBUk51TUF0VXAydEJzRDBTekJEWkoyMFlVNGd4OUtwbkRPellUWWNXdWgzU1I1SGdPc1VSZzV5UHkzb2s2Nk00bWRGcDkzNnNVbTZqOGdVWWlZU2M1eWh6RnFLWXlYMkVDdmtGLVBrR3lMSHRIOHNnUnZxMHh6VXQ4NzU0dlpPdVVsa1NETFUzUEd2V3hGdUxFVWtNWGZuRnJPSEgyZXhhY09QdkRCa3FFWEVzekQzYWhxN29WNjczb2IydU1XeE5SZGJyUGF2UT09 |

I'm thinking of doing a themed version of [Ships & Sailors.](http://osls.emory.edu/files/leadership_emory_files/leadership_emory_staff/tenet_3_documents/ships_and_sailors) Anyone have any good ideas for anime-themed commands?

SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE STORY FYI
I'm going to throw out some shit:
* Loved the avoxes -- Castor & Pollux's story was compelling & I wanted to know more (apparently I have a thing for bros, lol).
* Finnick was my favorite character. When I finished the series I submitted a post to /r/hungergames & I'll just quote myself: "Finnick had literally tasted almost every aspect of each lifestyle that existed in the book and still came out both an innocent victim and a brave hero who could still love. His character was really remarkable."
**Prim and Katniss.** I wasn't at all fond of Prim or the way Collins depicted her (which is the same thing, really). Her character was used as a shining symbol of goodness & innocence & purity for Katniss... as if Katniss hadn't grown up with her & known Prim's faults & flaws. At *points* Katniss considered Prim "weak" or "delicate"... but it was always thought in conjunction with this kind of "because she's not made out for this tough, hard world" sentiment which had me rolling my eyes. Prim's existence would've made a lot more sense if, when Katniss volunteered, Katniss herself is halfway surprised by her kneejerk response to volunteer on her sister's behalf. Then, when going through the games, she starts to (unrealistically) idealize Prim more & more as a function of *her* need to fixate on something that represents righteous innocence. As the series continues, Prim grows up to be a very demure medical aid; very passive & calm. She seems nice, yes, but incredibly bland... She had no spark or feist... and at no point does she really call Katniss out over how condescending & ignorant (& thus kind of hurtful) it is to be seen or treated like glass on a pedestal (especially by your own older parentified sister).
Prim's only real use in the book was as a false, illusory psychological coping tool for Katniss. After the first Hunger Games, Katniss didn't seem to love Prim anymore... she seemed to actually just love the *idea* of Prim that she had in her head. And like I said, Prim never called her out & demanded to be treated like a fallible human being with faults & flaws. Prim never shattered Katniss' idealized perception of her. And so, when Prim died, Katniss was still so tied up with the ridiculous idea that Prim was like.. the *essence* of goodness & purity... that it basically destroyed Katniss' faith it still existed in the world. Which really kind of annoyed me. If Prim had been a cool dimensional person/character worthy of Katniss' love, she would've demanded that Katniss stop making her out to be a saint. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyX1pncW5adndiLVM5bVNqSkFyY3NjY3BvckZudTJxM0hncmZoYjVnNGFSa0ZaVTdiX2JWbDhGTW9kd2FDWlo2UmwxZFlQVU9INmhja1NxbmQwaGlyY0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5VVdGWXlYYjM2dDN5N2ZpczVxb2o5RUZERHlzSkl4SHNYdjNtNTVVcThIQVp6blctZnk5SWVRY08wazFjRXI2LU5QZDB4YUktdmZ5NWVzbDhmNk54R3dpa3ZUTVktR08zemZnVXpwMlBYb2dKVXlqMXBqbGNiLS03YXhBRHlFUlByc0U2dFBwRGptUjhnM0FzWnhlWl9UQTFfWDRpRDFETDYwVGdXb0x4LU5YWDVJWGVWdVZveDZiT0ViZW5YM0dE |
Prim wasn't able to stand up to her sister- she's what? 12? I'm not saying she shouldn't, but she's not going to have that fight. She might not even know the extent of her sister's fawning. She's also slightly a bit of a drip, not as much as their mother, but the two are a bit wrapped up in slightly forced gauzy bubble wrap. It's a writing issue (one of many), not a character fault | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyZk03SkZROWVGTVRJOUtTSTZjb0VOLXFBTzN0VkMyZFJMVUwtVkxmdGxQT3phNm1OUHJCc1BmX3VMMkMzYnR4WlkxQnFFQWdfMDFDOGZUWm54WDJuSGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5SExXMmNBaE9aZmRxSW5yUjNmSzBqcENORTZYVVlyUmZEQXlzNmFlVVBDdm9iWklwWEF3cE9iQmhvQjRETjJNSjhTSmlpZW9FRDVlQW5DTGE5cTFwVUZBOGJCZ29zOGJBTDRUMVNmTHlBQXZlVTNZM19LVkprdS1mRWxmZDBXZ1VTTVhmLWxXZmF1NzdSRW8zS2JzQmZXRm11bmhLZEdfSTJGaVhVLTZpQktFNmZTUVVHeHFuYTZ1R04wVlBKeFFC |
No she's not 12 in the books later during the time I'm suggesting she stand up to her sister. I'm thinking around when she's 16 and training to be a medical aid/nurse/doctor. They spent time with each other on and off for awhile there.
>the two are a bit wrapped up in slightly forced gauzy bubble wrap.
Prim was explicitly representative of purity & goodness for Katniss. That's not gauzy bubble wrap, that's delusions of grandeur by proxy.
I don't know if it's a writing issue or a character fault or both-? I mean I'm just saying that, throughout the book, Katniss' perception of Prim was never actually stated as f-ed up even though I think it really was. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyZ21VSGE0WVFhVUFoUlk2akh1dmdvVzQzdlRUdEhVTWM2QXBJS25iR2k4RFE1NE96TE9aU1dwd3gyb3JQNUtpQnkxTDZKX0d3Rk9YODFwU0pZYzZ3aEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5dGVVMGpOZ05ERkkzNnplSWJmYUlRSlYxS2ZCWjZiSTJxX3Z6al9HM0I0S3VpT2tuVms5TUFXMFZJMHVybmNKakJHWkRpalBUNWFaWEtyeFBsYkZIRlNUdWdIZTdfVER2NzFTcUtFRUt0NUU4RTBVMUsxUkc4QzJNczdHRERHU0tJc3dQV2JsVnU4MkRNbWJxT3RxbzFyaWtFVXFVVUFFWFkwWW1NQWRWSWdLaDV3N3RBLUVYa25YOVJzLUEzajNH |
What I'm saying is that she starts out as 12 where her big sister is the savior of the family who then turns into the savior of the world not even 5 years later. She doesn't have it in her to have the kind of self actualization discussion with her sister about appropriate boundaries, and it's definitely not going to happen mid-civil war. She might not even know the extent of Katniss's construct about her, and even if she did, she's not going to challenge her sister over it.
Of course, it's a fucked up construct, but nobody is there to help them fix it or set realistic boundaries for young teenagers. It's a dystopia, and they're not going to behave in normal emotional responses, and there's a good chance they never would even if the ending had been different (which was pretty manipulative by the writer). HG was so weird to begin with on the writing. It was about to hit greatness levels in the first book, but then it just didn't, and she took easy outs or got distracted by bullshit time and time again. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyTHJOaUJERjVEYjREV0x4LVJHTFV5ZEMtSm81N09zYXdCLThBSDJfWWptdE0zc0MtanBTemlJbnpTNnBDMlIwRGp4UEUxdGJyQ2xJU0pnd2REbHl3cHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5ay1tVHAtQTlyR0xRWlRDZDdOcWhHamZSUGZjd0Q0SWotODRZTFFuMWJkcVBNWWhZWmE1SGxYLU8wemVJRlBmS2NzRTc5b01xMWQ2ZExjUjY4enlycGZzeUpmaW9EQU5sY25QdW5DZWxhSVo1TWEyN291LW9CcFR5SDFQRlZXS05xeTdVZGtNS2VrODFObEIwUVJQQjgwazRxUFBEVWJ1QkthbHI0Mk9GTTFCWGJOTmN0RWhGQ3pTVVI0LVQ3bHZK |
But see... I feel like people fell in love with Katniss' perspective towards Prim (identified with Katniss & even kind of fell in love with Prim by thinking of her like Katniss did). Collins never made the way Katniss thought about her sister seem f-ed up: when Prim died, it read as tragic and devastating and I think readers thought the *whole thing* was justifiably tragic and devastating. That *of course* Katniss has her heart in the right place & her attachment to her idealized sister is completely true & good... so of *course* her death would affect her like it did.
I think readers were *meant* to feel a sense of utter loss *with* Katniss over Prim's death.
For *me* though, I didn't actually give a crap about Prim because I never felt like I'd ever even gotten to *know* Prim. Rather, I only registered that the symbols Katniss had imbued into Prim (which no human being could realistically live up to) seemed to have died along with her... and for that, I was really disappointed.
There was basically just no message saying, "yo - don't assign pure abstract concepts like innocence or purity into a human being so much that they *are* those concepts to you in your head." Rather, the dysfunction of it was simply used to wrench our hearts more... but since it's f-ed up I was like, "my heart isn't wrenching - Katniss is sad because she thinks purity and innocence has died instead of mourning her *actual* flesh and blood sister (edit: whoever that is; Katniss & these books' readers were pretty in the dark about who Prim *actually* was)." | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyVkR6dTVENHZ3S05jU0dfSE9kT1djRWhNNkVEZUhOOXFURVlQMEEwNXRoTzlaSkVVbzdadEhpbE5kcGo3MHlvRXR1QkVOWVVLWDdxaUxDelBTOHh3OWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5VlhacnVUZHlIaWpWQWVhV2F3Tm84dU5nTGNhb2I2Nm5UWUEzbVdkQ3RQQXIzTWR6a2hUYXZJSU1UN2JSS0o0ZE9qVE1LSHJVNFJNeFIxZnhNREllTDg2eVpnREZTaWs2TkZFS09IaVhJZ2FrSXlQTjVPLUIwRzBjLVBmTWFpcVI3VDhlaHVEbkxBRURCYnp6amdYMkExZ0RZbmhjOXhhZXdrblpWdWswZzVLUXJ3TE1STTFDSEVhVUp6MGNZUFFn |
Right, but this is also a YA book geared to slightly less than adult readers. Things like this are going to be flattened for maximum emotional impact. I never connected with Prim either, but I understood what Katniss was doing and why she was doing it. It's like Sam and Dean at that age in some respects. Dean would "give up everything" for Sam like in About a Boy, but Sam is all but peripheral in that episode. We only know "him" because there's 10 years of backstory to fill in those details, and I could easily see Dean having the same resonance about Sam as Katness does about Prim. "every sacrifice is worth it if it saves them." It's not that Prim isn't worth it, but that this is 99% Katniss's story. This is her emotional justification for what she does, and we only see this story through Katniss's viewpoint. That's why I'm saying it's a writing flaw, not a character flaw. In some ways, it's the same issue I have at times with house Sam is portrayed in fanfic. Just slightly flattened to the point of not having faults or negatives or a personality that's not somehow super adorable or the bestest best ever but without any kind of defect or realistic behavior.
Bu the difference here is that it's Katniss's story, not the sisters in the same way Spn is both brothers' story, not just Dean or Sam. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyeThhcm5PSmVBRW5MZVNPdm9BaXlvU1BHT2xVMTJSM3REZnp6SjJhX2ozNFZZalQ1TmRJT3RJVzFNTnNSRlRCd2NfN3luRE5wNVdWQkhDWGx3dG1mSWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5d3RJZVJET2luZ3lSWDZOVUdtZXJZa1dfMmRreXBLRVV6TXNQMWg3SFpYV2hLVG1nVk45bXVLRGJwVkVTZUhsREM4VzFnbUFrYUFnZ0tNZ05nd2JZUDRyZ1BtaDU0NHVNV0hGb2FaVkd3MUdFNXZFZVN1QmZlX2cyUUJGVm9fUDlhY0dNSGFwY052M0tONHpxTWpjaW9URk9EQWdwS25WRkZSaEJ4SXVKTC0ta2dUMXNsTl83RkZGYXJsalBzVWND |
I feel weird about the Hunger games, honestly. On one hand, it definitely contributed into me getting back to reading and writing, but on the other hand I never really realised how much was wrong with the books until I saw the first two movies. The movies were trainwrecks, and the books compare infinitely better -- but at the same time, all the things they did exactly like the books drew attention to how lackluster the pacing of the books are, how there never seems to quite be a meaningful climax to individual character's arcs, and how Katniss, in her own story, is more of an observer than an active participant outside of the arena.
Still, apart from the really erratic pacing of the third book, I seriously enjoyed the series at the time. Katniss will forever be aromantic to me, and her general flatness when interacting with anyone she doesn't consider family resonates strongly. Once I learned to look at the whole series as more of the story of horrible events rather than the story of a single person, I started liking it a lot more.
Still can't fucking stand Peeta. Forreal, in no part of any of the books did I feel a damn thing for him. He read flat, displayed only momentary personality and I just couldn't for the life of me understand why Katniss would ever give him a second thought. I had this same problem with Gale (and I find Gale a lot frustrating than Peeta, but I expected a Dumb Love-Interest Dude to show up far earlier) but at least Gale and Katniss had history. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyZWR5SzVlVEVQUlAzTk1oMUVtUmR4eWdPMWhkRk4tNVF0QzAyRnZ1ZFprcUZDM19XNFlfRWtSVWxuTnNDSGItTG1IekhiSDUyOTNLR2ZGWC1wdjdtR0FybGthY0lIajhzSXlSQmRHU3g2V009 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5Mng0SS1rUVdiQmxZQmlJV1BaNGIwRHRRZGFaTVFIN2U1Sm5BVFFZYk9xZTB2cklaSnp5eXc5aEM2RW1hNExQUzBrYWhIaUlKZ25LbGZ0c3Bqa2FPOXhKeG5pTmhpdEJOWjlfWTBYNUM2LUVnT19oU3VHLVQySnYtWDNQbVl3LU5wb0tid3Z4NGI5UlZMUGNFaW53amhzV0pPQjZHUXcySUVaZHVEcWlNYi1GX040TFJvOERDWnFuenRVd19XVVhE |
>Right, but this is also a YA book geared to slightly less than adult readers. Things like this are going to be flattened for maximum emotional impact.
...but I'm saying it got flattened & resulted in *minimum* emotional impact for me... hence why I was really disappointed with Prim and/or the writing of Prim: she wasn't written well enough to mourn... nor was she written well enough for me to understand why Katniss loved her (the *real* her, not Katniss' idealized version of her).
>It's like Sam and Dean at that age in some respects. Dean would "give up everything" for Sam like in About a Boy, but Sam is all but peripheral in that episode.
If I had only ever seen the episode About A Boy, I would've felt the same exact way about Sam as I do Prim: who's this younger sibling? What's so special about them that the older sibling has to forfeit their future (or life) for them? Do they *deserve* to be as protected and loved by their older sibling (whom we already know is a good & honorable person)?
In Hunger Games, those questions weren't answered, Prim dies, Katniss loses hope when she needn't because as far as I could tell, Prim was cardboard & bland (didn't at all represent innocence or purity). It felt empty.
The overarching message I think Collins was trying to send was great though: people get irrevocably damaged by war. I agree with that. And if Prim had had a personality (I mean she literally came off like Egg - I mean Anne - from Arrested Development) & Katniss had adored her for endearing personality traits Prim *actually had*, I would've been really impacted emotionally by Prim's death & I would've understood why it destroyed a core part of who Katniss was (& even why she was irrevocably damaged by it).
Instead, the message was, "Prim represented epic ideals and when she died, so did Katniss' epic ideals," which is so... it's such a contrivance that it feels *political.* Like Collins was like, "I need to show, in this book, how war uses, damages, and then destroys heroes," which, by itself, is great. I'm in. She proceeds to write interesting compelling characters & external forces that punctuate Katniss' life which shape her, a hero, into a tool & damages her. Then we get to the final act and Collins is like, "fuck the interesting compelling characters and forces and emotional depth. Prim = innocence & virtue = death = death of innocence & virtue in Katniss = Katniss is destroy = my message is *complete* YAYAYAY!" without *one iota* of caring about how ridiculously cerebral & ideological & transparently political that is precisely because it lacks *so much* emotionally resonance.
When I say "it lacks so much emotional resonance" -- I'm only talking about using a sibling's death to represent the tip into lifelong despair. Here's an idea: how about there *is* no tipping point and that, after Katniss' experiences, everything she went through *combined* (including the death of her sister) has irrevocably changed/damaged/destroyed her-?
I just really cringe when I think people may have read Hunger Games going, "wow look how clever Collins was, making Prim's death the symbolic death of ideals in Katniss!" when I'm like, "yeah it's actually almost insulting. She barely *ever* described Prim as anything other than representative of Katniss' ideals. To be honest I was thinking there'd be a reveal that there had never *been* a Prim & we'd be going into some beautiful mind fight club shit." lol | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyd3V5VGRUVERBTW9YSEF3T0FSUVp3WmpxS3kyeS1yYU1UTG5ZZ1JzYV9EOUo4M2pBLXdXZkoxWXAxT1VZUzFMTGpGNUo4T2dQbHc1V3JsV1pnTVR3cUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5UFdsMS1ZeDR5MTR6WURXUDJvWUF0c3FEaW5DV2lWeUR6dkhiaEdYVklIWE12S2dvWnBOTlY1SGN6Q19mMzlrNVpMMjk2NmdwVF9wRTJjTXF5bmZ4WGtXcUxOdFRVLWhHd25KRm9pZkk4alpqaW13c3l6QW5KVUNWYW1rUmMteG51anFtcUNZWGNKSi1ocVlPTm9IRDBDZTdFdWowcXdkSUF1SldyODlTSEpCZ0NBZWZLamVZMEpzcm5kTENLMDAt |
I'd already emotionally checked out long before her death after they dead stopped the story too many times when they were dicking around with youtube videos and dresses in the middle of battles or the BS love triangle, or that she threw the one guy under a bus at the very last minute to justify Katniss ending up with the other guy so she wouldn't have to have actually write a legitimate ending for that plot.

Oh yeahhhh there was a noticeable prejudice against fashion & design in this series which, cultural anthropologically speaking, was just *completely* fucked up. I read *something* Collins had written (can't source; can't remember -- I feel like it was in the author's note at the back of the third book though) that talked about the series' incorporation of body modification and "high fashion" as both grotesquely extravagant and indicative of social inequality. I was pretty furious about that - I really wanted to print off a list of societies that the western world would consider poor as dirt yet egalitarian and make her realize that fashion & body modification is an aspect of *all cultures.* | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyd0ZSekQ3c0dkMHFoRlZONF9OWUE5S1lGcTFTcWtyNkt2MUs4TWZmbk4zZEc0NkRmTFVWbnh2VGV2SUM2b0d5Sk9nVEpteUNPMmJmWnFQNGMwWGFHSlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5a2dxMW9reGFGd1ljWjljdFAxM3pSSF9ra1JpeHlpN0dSRVZaZDRnemdyaEpFWFFENzFSdHdoYTFwTE9LNEZ2eEFsZ1hHYmc4NDNYNDFyMkNaaF9DYjZubjlNWnBEZDBhM1hvQmRfU0tsd3Q1a3Azc04ySlY1TzU3UU1sdUNvd2Z6Sk56ZURpN1h0OGJqTEJXREZDMHFXRWpQMTNtU2JDOHVnclNzSmNSOXNxNEJyTVpaVkh5SEJjWlY4cEQ1anR4 |
It's built in with the first book in the differences between Panem and the major city where everyone is super high end fashion coupled with wasting so much food. High end fashion doesn't make a dystopia, heck, not even wasting so much food (to an extent), but it felt so.... cheap that the fashion and propaganda thing became too much of the focus when it should have been all about the battle and war waging around them.
Heck, my favorite character is the fashion designer (Crassius?). He was all about fashion, and understood/epxlained both its positives and negatives in their world- that it's more complex than just simple political statements for/against something while also engaging in art as art. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoybHlJNHJ2RXBpRk1VUjdZVkh2TnRKRTV4d1YyalBtNmpWT1lQRy1JaWFRd0U2SmdsZS1IQzJlYVRodEVncU5vUzBzVWRCbHIwdXEtUUVIdFN0TnFUckE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5MlRhUU9ZYUVueG9UcEJ4Umxha1FMbl81VTYxNEdQcWJ3czY4TFAtOEhqVW9tRFlLa0tiN0Z4eTh4c2UxUEs0N0RZMmtvSEVpdWdEbmY2TUVsVm5WS1pEUDJUSkR1b0RjVzlIWUs0Vi1WanZLcFZwUzgzRTd3dzBxMXFBdVB5S3dZclczOF9xSFhYMlRNRF9seG5RVTRnR3JSbnNLZ1ZBeU9MMWllc3BVNkltYUFzbjlxRmhjcEw0MWRWYVBhdWda |

Hi, I've been snooping around for a few weeks looking for something like this, but no cigar. What I'm basically asking is could someone put a Mercator Projection hex map on [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/World_map_blank_without_borders.svg/4378px-World_map_blank_without_borders.svg.png) image? The grid hexes I need should be around the same size as the one DonJon uses ([example map](http://worldgen.bin.sh/cache/55f1dac925d29d12.png)), except with Mercator distortion and white hex borders.
Cheers to all who've read this! :D
P.S. Idk if the map is actually in mercator or not. If anyone knows for sure what projection it is, just add the respective grid.

•Do you consider yourself a fan of this show and/or part of this fandom? Why or why not?
*Absolutely. In fact, the word "fan" would seem inadequate if it weren't short for "fanatic." That seems much more apt for me.*
•Are there any elements to the writing that you really adore or abhor? Share your thoughts!
*I love the structure. The way he sets up the perfect story to explore his characters, in the real great plays that is. I love his mastery of the archetypes. I just love him so much as a storyteller. As for what I abhor, I really hate some of his speed bumps throughout the plays. The action's going along great, but then he throws in a pointless clown or an unneeded break from the action. I could do without those.*
•Do you have an unpopular opinion on any aspect of the canon or its fandom? What are they?
*I sure do. I wish "literary critics" wouldn't try to take such ownership of the plays. Yes, they're wonderful studied as literature, but I don't think they should be APPROACHED as literature. They take all these nonsense analytical stabs at the plays trying to decode them based on Shakespeare's life and modern concepts and thoughts and it's frankly pretty annoying. Shakespeare carved out wonderful human characters, best approached from a dramatic direction. They are plays, meant to be played and watched. I find literary critics can often get pretty dismissive about the modern staging of Shakespeare. Not all, but the ones that do drive me WILD.*

*I did my first play in 8th grade. I discovered something I didn't know I needed. I couldn't wait to dive into it in high school. As soon as I entered 9th grade, they cut the theatre program at my school. Reading Shakespeare plays in class was my only reprieve, the only way I could satisfy this new found necessity in my life. My first college play was Shakespeare (As You Like It) and my professional play was based on a Shakespeare play (Taming of the Shrew) and then my first play with a new company that I'm trying to help build here in my city was, of course, Shakespeare (Also Taming of the Shrew.) He is a constant in my life.*
•Do you have any favorite fan art, fan fiction, adaptation, fan videos? We want to see them!
*Shakespeare in Love is a pretty good film which I'd consider a type of fan fiction. I much prefer to see the actual plays, but there's some really great stuff out there based on Shakespeare's plays. I mean, come on: The Lion King, 10 Things I Hate About You, Throne of Blood, Ran, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead... The list goes on and on.*
•Have you written any fan fiction, created any fan art, made any fan videos? We want to see those too!
*Not particularly. I've acted and directed a lot of actual Shakespeare, but haven't made any of my own original work on the subject. I've always tossed around the idea of writing a play that puts a bunch of the best Shakespeare characters in the same world much like what Sondheim did with Into the Woods and fairy tale characters. I mean, imagine Macbeth being manipulated by the likes of Iago or Richard III? Maybe it's been done in some form before, not sure.*
•Which is your favorite character and why? Which character do you hate?
*I love Richard III. He's so freaking infectious. He does some horrible, deplorable stuff, but you don't want to leave his side! He's written so charming despite feeling himself to be so very inferior. I also love Rosalind in As You Like It. Shakespeare's best lady if you ask me! As for hatred, I can't stand Bertram in All's Well That Ends Well or Proteus in Two Gentlemen of Verona. They're vile fellas.*
•Which is your favorite adaptation and why? Which is your least favorite adaptation and why?
*I'm in love with Ralph Fiennes' Coriolanus, Patrick Stewart's Macbeth, and Ian McKellen's Richard III. They capture their genres so well. Coriolanus is a hell of a war film. Macbeth is wonderful horror. And Richard III is a killer political thriller. They're not just good Shakespeare, they're good films. They transcend their cinematic niche and conquer modern films of the same genre. I quite like Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, but I absolutely can't stand the newest adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. It was done in 2013 and "adapted" by Julian Fellowes. He butchered a lot of Shakespeare's words in favor of his own because he believed people aren't educated enough to grasp Shakespeare. That's so very insulting and it shows in the movie.*
•What is the most obscure adaptation that you're aware of?
*Hahaha, it's Shakespeare. In today's society, most of them are obscure! One of the first adaptations I ever saw was a Taming of the Shrew with John Cleese as Petruchio. I don't remember much about it though.*
• If you could change certain aspects of the plays, what would it be?
*There's not a ton I would change about the plays as they are. Any changes people want to make they're welcome to do in production. As long as I have the freedom to mold the plays to fit our needs in production, I don't see a reason to change what already exists.*
• Is there one you'd love to see done that hasn't been done yet?
*I'd love to see a great Measure for Measure film or a great Othello. We don't really have a fantastic adaptation of Othello despite it being such a well-loved and often-done play. I quite like the entire War of the Roses cycle, but we're about to get those from the Hollow Crown so I'm stoked about that. I think Pericles, despite its shortcomings, would make for a pretty good cinematic experience. Oooh! And a good Winter's Tale! A great production of the Tempest would be nice too. Sorry, Julie Taymor.*
•Favorite play? Least favorite play?
*Favorites: King Lear, Richard III, Coriolanus, and Romeo and Juliet. Least Favorites: Troilus and Cressida, Cymbeline, and Timon of Athens.* | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyLS1jaHhXS3Y5TkNUaHdaTzNTUkUyUFNQQWVOYzAxUEV5Z09zZ0xHdHM5cFQtVjkyYmNYYWRvQ0c1NlJUNlhWN2ZoVGV4YTlXcWZWWDB3V3hCdmtUZHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5d01qaUFFamhLUldJU1h4dFRaWmhCWENRdE5mZ0ltVXRuSkhremg4QTFzUTdwaHp2eWxDLUJ3MDhCS2pYdENOMWNHblEwQlZ1bmQzbU5UWktJYVFfV25QYVZubXNmZGJoajVfckxSZkZzV0o3aXRMOVFQWXdDNXBDZzl6S3d4Z2N5R0hDSFhiOGt5Xy1YMUpTdlpVcTlSVXh6WmF0U0VGeGQ2TUJhQ1lTR2hlYzFBemxGMHNLMTRMXzNVaEpXRzRjM0Q5ajJmVkZFMVBhc05ZUGtvRDJOZz09 |
Speaking of adaptations, I did one in high school of Julius Caesar that was both super campy like Mel Brooks mixed with straight up plagiarizing XFiles where Mulder and Scully where trying to investigate the assassination. I wasn't quite old enough to tie in the Kennedy assassination, but that also would have been a solid subplot. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoySFFlMTRuQlhpV2dHdUtjWGZSUnVVam9fUHdJNFdpTGhoVFVCaEVqRlY2cnNxWDdiUWlxLUVaM2h2Q2NGRC1HdEItR0tYbGppel9jZTVFOXdXVW13Mnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5NGRPc203VGNFUXpuSzdJOC1HRWdvUm5CME51b0RxLWpZSmVSc0lNdUFwUG16bk1yRHA5MnRZRFNIZFFjY21KejMtVUw2eW5jM2pKX3FKX0txLW1TQkpzb2ZuM2hQeHFKVTNpMEFrSUpMaF9uVUxqaURBTk9nc29hRURDbmpNWTM3Sk5fV0l3MGJxWDBvZ01ySjV0THdNMlZsY0FPUlJTRVNaRklBV2p0Q1M2WXotYWkyNk82X2M4dzNsVEo5QkxtQ3dPMm5ndDlaZ1B4enR0Q3NJUU50UT09 |
This week in fandom overanalysis, me and my friends go so damn pissed _off_ at the bullshit explanation MGSV gives for Quiet's clothing that I actually did the math and calculated what is the minimum amount of skin she needs to have uncovered in order to survive, assuming her skin has the same absorbency as her lung tissue would. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyeWpDUk8tZ25QS0JRcWItZ2ZoUHFmNktyWDRYdGhlSTg3OG0wdUI3cjlyLXp4Ql9Hc0Yya3hOMlZxcFV5N2QyanhrWWttcDd1YUtqaEswMjl4dXh2eHdid09ad1FJb2I5cm9EdUc2RlZTajg9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5RWJQWktJTVVOaE1uTl9Ya3UydF9RdWF5ZDBqWU5zbzFpS3dhYUdVYVB3REQtTkFVYmFPVFRYNDFyVm1EUE85WFBLVFNkakVxRWhoMWFzSndMWDNfeWRENXZzejRCdlM0UFBPaXJkVXpsSnhQUjA1RUN0SEl6RmhZd3I0NGVIWldZbUlkOVVSN194Q0ktRVZ3eXB5ZUxIamlkWHF3RXJ3N2JWQUFfcld1SVdXS21zajA3emNja0h3ZmFyVmVDdnBq |
> Do you consider yourself a fan of this series and/or part of this fandom? Why or why not?
I'm gonna go with yes, but not as obsessively as I am with others. I really enjoyed the books very much.
>Are there any elements to the series that you really adore or abhor? Share your thoughts!
The whole love triangle bit. It's kind of boring compared to the rest, and though love in a time of tragedy is a time tested storyline, it's so not my thing.
>Do you have an unpopular opinion on any aspect of this show or its fandom? What are they?
My above referenced refusal to engage with the romantic sub-plots seems to be pretty unpopular. ;)
>Which is your favorite character and why? Who is your least favorite character and why?
I love Cinna, and his subversion through art thing. Katniss can get on my nerves occasionally, but it's teenage girl stuff that's ultimately realistic despite my annoyance. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-13 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoycU5mOVpKcFpON2gzdmdtSEhSdEwtdDFvRVpXdjZBWk9MTDJwcTNPY3k0akdjeTFGZllaaDNSUkpRVDB0VE91TlFqenVPWkhYNG42NV9GSkpHY3BHUVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5SEhITFlaNGlhX1dERzI1alhsVmVieS1aQWU5dVJhVDQyUmE4OFNEa2M0bENnWWltT1pvNlA0dDJIczd4SUZwOXJVZjFWcnEwZnpLRU0wWjB5eWk5ZGxBUVo0OFdhNktkbnhYb3ctVEM4VUk5elI3dUNOSFVid1h4ODNRQzZ4Qy1teGNIQkdjV0FTVzhTcTdYZEs5aFdXTFg3MDVZLVhicnQzLUhxSlNDTUREU2ZzMFdjX1BkV3NXa2g2TGtvdVRL |
We've been playing lots of Xenoblade Chronicles lately, and while I don't have that much to say about the gameplay (actually no, that is a lie, I could write a whole essay comparing it to FF12/13 and explain why Xenoblade gets all the small stuff right) I'm really loving how despite using the bog-standard (warning: tv tropes link) [Five Races](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FiveRaces) archetypes (or, well, four, since it combines the Stout and the Cute into the Nopon), it still gives all the people a distinctive sense of cultural identity.
Seriously I've spent at least two playing sessions analysing and comparing Nopon and Homs societies and trying to explain why one is collectivistic, while the other is communal, and I gushed for five minutes straight about the [the implication of Machina being pacifistic, especially compared to Homs and High Entia]. It's seriously so fascinating to me to compare the sideplot sidequests in Alcamoth and Frontier Village to get a sense of cultural identity for both the High Entia and the Nopon and then reflect that back to the playable High Entia and Nopon teammates.
I'm just sad that the races in Xenoblade aren't _more_ bizarre because I love fictional cultures and I love fictional cross-culture shenanigans more than I can properly describe. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-13 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyOW1BelJIYzNXVmFORDFxdWdOMkQyZEx0bkIwMUNtLUY0QXl4MFVpOGRNVFlNTjE2Q3RCUjRjeVZnM1Z6b1NNUUFOYVFQSllwamRYODR6aVd0VVZvRGR0T1JCLXl1MmpBZ3BPOFpqcWdzSTg9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5NXZGYWZ4YTgxQS1JeFBKNG9HamtUSm0tOWFPOG5xM1FpQk5GVGZRWlVFQWhBZTdSVGdwcEZpdzV0NjJQT0lmTnNWUXU1Yjc3cXNDUTViRFFvMmstay1iQ21yQ1ZCNlJxcDRySWxndHZsYkVyaURRS0d1TWRpajdwM0hWT1R2R3JQZXp1QmYzQ1ZxaHFrNkZDQkVGejJ5WUpSUkFBLVZGYmRSWG9hcTZaYjFIVEk4SVpqa2w2RHVJOWVHWHpwNUpk |

Hello. I came over after seeing an announcement on /r/books. I've only given this community a quick look but I just wanted to say thank you to y'all for setting this up. I've been looking for a safe space for women in reddit for a while, and I feel like this sub will become one of a few places where I can feel totally comfortable expressing my opinion without having to worry about getting shouted down or being discounted based on my gender etc. So for that a big hug from me!
As for what fandoms I'm into, I've been an avid follower of Harry Potter, BSG, Metal Gear Solid, and Dragon Ball Z in the past. Right now I don't have a fandom that I truly subscribe to but I think that'll change quickly with this sub. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyZUo2dHZ0SUtkd0FMRDJsZVYzSDI3RjFLSUNpbzEycE9TOUFhY2pJZ0JNSUlLT0hpRTVWaS1uS0t2RHRDOHR2a1dQb3o2YjhyWmpxdjRJd2hlY3psdXNFc3U5aHREb1RObzU0aVRueHZabnc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5LUdEWHdvdHZ2ZkpfNVhpaXgzZkJrZ2Qtd0gyU3lESDJBM1lVTldPQVV5dGlYQzBpTXB4OFcwSVU1N1FEbE80N2x3ZkxDTDFzSHlBcnZuY2FTM0JENmJGTEVEUG0ydmNtalVtYnIzTVVTQXVuUFBHUFd3THpjc0Nxd3RqUzJQS2JKd3JtU0x0V3RReW10MEVNRGlnd2tOSnR6T0RlNERTd04yUHFXdGVOVW4tTTJhc01XWjdQT1BmVWJJNUFCcWdZ |

I am binge watching supernatural right now in an attempt to be ready for the next season to come out on netflix. I think I am somewhere in season 6 at the moment. A lot has been changing.
I am also watching Fear The Walking Dead. It is going really slow, but it will tide me over.
In October, I plan to rewatch The Walking Dead from the beginning. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyeGk3RUk3X1Atd2FpMDN6MWxUZkR6Tk5fa2M2OGZKN29WdEtJZ1NSNEtYZmt1bVFzOEhNSHNHeVNybkZUVVhNS0lqN040TFpfZ1ByNjV5Qm9yYTZWVGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5MG02Uy1nSnNldUNvTURaVVlXSjFMU1NtMGNXdlJvOFVQUVpXa1Q0QjU1YUZDajEyazJJamNrZ2hYcEk2Si1MUjFPYnVSOFZxZlh2dFlpSDZ4Z01uZDc5blA0RklHWXd0M1VjMXBSUWoxcm04bXEwSXF6cUhEM3FVTl9zelZsMEQ0ekhza2pnWHV4VzZORXN2clk5ZVN3V0ZoWXlVN3FOaVJUUjhtZTJWeUJ1WGtLalZ3SV81dkozQ3BDRnlNdWRV |
**MGSV spoilers**. Also CW for suicide, homophobia and sexim.
My friend just detailed to me [Strangelove's fate](/spoiler) and _livid_ doesn't even begin to describe my mood. I was never a fan, [but I could accept her being a predator because predatory queer women exist and she actually had a really solid character and was allowed to be herself without nobody trying to force compulsory heterosexuality on her](/spoiler)... and then in one of the tapes you find out [she apparently had a child with Huey... and then shut herself in the Mammal Pod and _suffocated to death_.](/spoiler)
And the context for this was so fucking unclear too, [Huey](/spoiler) is not being at all a reliable narrator and the game's been [trying to sell his deteriorating mental state so there is a chance all of this is just some kind of delusion form his part](/spoiler)... but that just brings about WORSE possibilities [such as Huey having killed her](/spoiler) since why would [she have killed herself if she had just wanted a child, and had picked Huey out because... fuck, I dunno, good genes, availability, being familiar with him, some other reason.](/spoiler) None of it makes sense, _all of it is infuriating_ and I've just been raging _the entire day_ about this.
I am so angry for defending Quiet (and I'm even angrier because I love??? Her??? She's _SO GOOD_ in the field and has so much potential to have a really sweet father-daughter relationship with Snake, she has such a strong personality and interesting skillset but her visual design is _shit_ all the way through and I can't stand this) and I'm _even angrier_ because... _this_ is what MGS thinks of [queer women? This is what we should expect to happen to us, reward a guy for having feelings for us, make a baby for them and then _kill ourselves_???](/spoiler)
Oh yeah and good job making [both of Otakon's parents commit suicide, Kojima.](/spoiler) _Such nuanced storytelling_, not at all about manpain. /s^s^s^s^s^s | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyX1ZfYk5IQlg4WkpJb2pmTHRzNlVPRWtYcFhTdk5sSVlEWjNFTS1MdEZjVkFJcmZuVkVBMURSWHlJcnBfeGV1Uy1QMGJsNUkyWWIway1VWnpESk5tOWhiN0V6cV9LY3VfRmMwakg1eDZQUXc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5Smt4aGJ2TWFTMVdiNGJscTNyVlN6dzhyU3M1dnZDME8yZy1TYlI0NkxJZmJJQkJHSG83X093a0Jpa19iQWg2b2lLSUw2eVRmVDc0MW5WRWZTc0swN1lqLTBfVkJVQWFmbktibE03bENJZldXOFBITkExMXVNSzVwbVdFaWxMVXRxWnIyaEdiT19Ja1BIdW8tai13ZkZ0R3lRbW15cEpqMjZFV3d3UzItUHdiZ09JYm1OTHVLMklRQmRiR2NYakUy |

I see that many of us have differing levels of Neanderthal (and Denisovan) admixture. Is there any photographic evidence that various levels of admixture results in different physical traits?

The colours are *amazing*. It seriously looks like the spinner took the colours on the screen and painted them into the yarn.
I don't have photos of what it looks like when it's worn, mostly because it's so long and so skinny that when you wear it, you just wrap it up over and over and over again and it kinda loses a lot of it's impact. Except for if you're walking and you wrap it up a bit over your face and you have the ends trailing behind you...then you're just a badass. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-18 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyNGFVTUtXLXhHLXVaS2hUNVlNdGk3d3BvM0pETHRCNm02NWhVWXRMMWx4dU9wdUJQVVB1UVBxbTJQNTFNeENGVGU0SGE1a2lkOWw0aVY5d09qOG9RRVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5Sld0S21QQkVUcmpJcW55NkhrMG80c3FsTmVUcWctZkpnQU9FcDU0QnJvV0lUOE1TSEprdUlkZFZpeDh6M3FWTF9ac0hMV0lxSm9VQ2RQRHJoeHNteDZtU1BHeHdwZVZISl93ZlpRYWxaMWN3MV9iTktrNEpUdURRUWxKa0lYOE94UEFZWllCd0FWczVpcG1FN2JZczFpUjN3NlF6X0pGSFdiTmdqLVFGeWFDOEk0SDNkQXNiUzFneC1BZ2cyd0du |
I don't know what he's filming, but a coworker just told me that he's about 30mins away from our work. He drove by and saw the cameras set up; it's at an old farm house. He'll be filming there until tomorrow evening.

Don't worry about feeling fake. Prayer, even by religion standards, is pretty vague. You can take those brief moments to think about things you do believe in and why. Or think about your loved ones and how you can do something nice for them. Don't feel guilty about singing hymns either.

Seeing this on Geno site: "Due to high volumes, we are experiencing a delay in processing of Genographic Kits. Please allow an extra 4 to 6 weeks for kit processing." However, my wife and I are both still waiting after 6 months. Anyone experiencing the same?
Also seeing this on a 1.0 kit I finally sent in after buying it 10 years ago (yes serious procrastination): "Success! Our lab has isolated your DNA! The next step in the process is analysis of your DNA to uncode your ancestral journey. As a reminder, it takes eight to ten weeks to process your DNA from the time we receive your sample." Been a half year on this one too (her 1.0 was sent in at the same time and has been processed).
Thanks for any insight!

MGSV is shaping out to be such a disaster on every conceivable level of writing that I'm not sure if I can bear to watch any more of it. __Spoilers for MGSV__ obviously.
This game's narrative is a fucking trainwreck. [Revealing that the PC we've spent upwards from 50 hours _meaning most of the narrative_ with is actually a fake?](/spoiler) YEAH THAT'S NOT A FUCKING COP-OUT TWIST ON LEVEL WITH "IT WAS ALL A DREAM" AT ALL. Christ. At this point I'm largely sticking along for the ride because of my Bosselot feelings (once again [we have Ocelot throwing away his past and identity like a used napkin because Boss needs him to do so](/spoiler)) and this game even managed to wring out feelings about _Zero_ from me, but a few raw diamonds in the middle of _mounds of shit_ is not going to make for a cohesively engaging experience.
And for fuck's sake what was this shit with Quiet [suddenly having to sacrifice herself and, get this, _talk_ in order to save him](/spoiler) supposed to be? [Women should stay quiet and only ever speak up over _literal matters of life and death_ was probably not the intended message](/spoiler) but at this point her overall mistreatment by the narrative has made me assume the worst re: literally everything that happens to her.
Oh yeah and fuck what _really_ happened to [Strangelove](/spoiler) as well. I mean, I'm glad it didn't go the way I expected it to go, [but I can't help but to be creeped out by her wanting a child with a woman she _herself_ admits she never fucking knew properly](/spoiler) and then just being left to fucking exit the plot. _Christ_ what bullshit. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-22 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyMXJ3c09PXzNXNlpNMkZ0ZWJiQWVzazF2Sjh6UmJpYjlpY09ycjdQSUQ1TmVxbFdvMFVTYUhjZDVNM3ZpN1Z6Q29oVnB6Z0pmX0lzMnl2VUtsUFVmMEFmbHd2RUk3M1M3WEdEUFQtd0gyOW89 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5U3lFNVB1UzAtbWtiLXB5U210ZEdOUk95UXlaTVVoeGZTeWlzOC1sYXlTYTlBTGRpUGFkRkxfWVp5YTlUWktvM0tOQnlmWEJGUVlpLVFLaUpDOHN2RmFkZ1BsQWVteGdaOENOaWtrYWpiWVBONE92cXJHbFdHamFZU3UwR2dLNkk4eWdvRWNFY0RWLVVfM2pCY2YtX3VoTWlqRV9UZmZzY3U5U0xuZU5yX1hXejMycHFuS2FmS2p1bmUyS3pVcHRK |

I'm in Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and I went on the [Avatar Airbender]( https://www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/rides/avatar-airbender/) ride. Which was gorgeously designed and a lot of fun.
Sadly, Aang, who would be normally walking around the park, is "mastering the elements", so I can't get a photo with him. And the only *Avatar* souvenir you can buy is a 60p keychain.
But I don't care, because I went on the ride and it was fun and I'm on holiday. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-22 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyei05cmVQRXExT0tLYXR2V0puaHVsUEtqcU9OanFlRHdLbHo4bzF3YnYxa2tNZ2FDeEdXVWZuMGthbnBEeUlVSlNJNEJJSHlVbDFnNHFiT1QzOWdETkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5NzYzZ3lMOUlrbjh0aXU0R3d4bDJ4czdqOVY0TFk0S05lMkl3YlV0aEJKenp6ZUZoVEY3YnpSdFBrY3lOXzBOaXhlSTRvaVBDblBTd05RU3ZqczJqTXhzeVZSWkwyNjUxX1FDS09tczRscjhfNEZZZ19BemZONWN1ZWMteXFKOVF2bmNTWmpoZER1SXBpNUZDMEpsZlJCN1NTX2ZoRWJkYk5OWjkwbnhPOXNGczNuUm5BTkx4TmdicHFORnUtZG15 |

The series was produced by Electric Entertainment, a production company of executive producer and director Dean Devlin.

YOOOOOOOOOOO
I got into Leverage about a year back when I was complaining that I needed a fun series to watch. If I recall correctly, I'd come off a long anime binge and we'd been talking about dudes, and he basically told me that there was someone who was exactly my type in Leverage.
That someone turned out to be Elliot. My friend... wasn't wrong.
I'd watched Hustle some years back and I've always had a soft spot for movies about thieves and conmen, and Leverage really scratched an itch I didn't even know I had. The stories were well-told, the visual presentation was engaging (in fact, the only TV show I think has better overall presentation is probably 24) and the *acting*... wow. There are so many tremendously skilled people involved in the making of this series. It's also one of the few series set in a relatively realistic modern environment that does internal worldbuilding well, so it's kind of become my staple go-to universe when I wanna write a conman story.
Leverage is "easy watching" -- I can just turn off my brain and enjoy the great presentation, but what really drew me in was the subtle stuff. The found family dynamic, and how everyone from the start had such clearly defined personalities, yet all of them managed to have really satisfying development over the series as well. And they're all so *lifelike* for TV show characters. it speaks to the credit of the creative staff that they managed to take such unrealistic superhuman characters and make me really feel like I know them.
My favourite part about Leverage is still Parker. Honestly, she's still a revelation to me, because I've *known* Parkers during my life, in many ways I *am* a Parker, and the way the series always treated Parker just being herself not just as acceptable but as an *asset* was a message I didn't even know I needed to hear. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyc0swSWNCUlkzcUtHNFcwYUtpc2thbGZvQ2NhSnliSWo5eFZ6N0hvZHBmRW9JYTlwY1FiMUljWTgyWHI4bDF6eC1iTVpHdnFydGNXSldnNC1sWGZtbUpnTld1OXlPMzBSMVJGOVVtTFEtcFU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5ZWtBYzEyMmJZMEZRbVF6WlFkeHNram1rUzVpem5ZTHZUcWlTdlo1bUQzQ2c5ZW9abzdXUEJzVGcwSERQdjRqU3RtMnBmN3lrR1U2M25DanFpbFJyZlZvVTJCQ1p0Q0ctX21nZkhDdTdWTUh5VWotSjVRcW40Z0hKcFRIZ3Zic0VqaTV1aTBLMDVjb0RENnI0X2dTdjZianltTE5tamdGdG85TkY0RXpqQU0tWlM1emFLenlMU0hyY1liaXlqcTRa |
It was a friend that kept telling me to watch it, for Elliot and Wil Wheaton.
I also love how well rounded each character is. In the mob boss wedding episode, Elliot talks about the different uses for a knife,and how passionate he is about cooking... Wow. As if we weren't already invested in his character, now he's no longer a two dimensional character. And that goes for everyone, each time we get a peek into their past and learn why they have their quirks. Devlin did a fantastic job and I'm forever grateful for making the show. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoySU43a2h3UVZGYzZTSWpFTkVvS1BQSGdhYlhSSzJYZlJQSjZvOFVLNjdTWExNRXZIcWRaNVpXX1JzNTlOeDRuMVJSNlRZc29qTzZkd3NLOUtCelctUEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5TEZ4WHNuMXo0bzMzMGVFelJUOTRUVHlNb2RESzFtbkd2ZW1NWldDQm51ZEstNEpTb2xtV2tJTm9fdjk1UnpNblVKcTIxTFl0a3JEWjFsWTUxdTNZQTdYVWJoWE5JVnB6MlNaWlFDMEhYTXh0SW1lT0x2N1hqTEUtRERlNlRVa2wzQk85NzUwZEZxc1VROXhDUFFCbUJEdHVmQVFFQW9NRnlwM1NldEZQTjlHSG1Bem5JRi1MWUN4cFplWEc4bFV0 |
After almost 2 years I've finally caught back up with One Piece. It recently crossed 800 chapters!

Leverage!
I used to watch this show with my family in the early seasons. I remember always being downstairs on the couch ready to go as soon as the episode started and getting so mad because my family wouldn't be on time. They all insisted on waiting, recording the episode, and fast forwarding through the commercials. I was like "I don't care about commercials! I literally can't wait five more minutes to see the new episode!"
>Are there any elements to the show that you really adore or abhor? Share your thoughts!
I hated that they were on TNT. "TNT: We know drama" NO, TNT, YOU DO NOT KNOW DRAMA. My brothers and I always agreed that the show would be a lot better if they focused on the comedy and got rid of all the melodramatic crap. And I hated how they tried so hard to make a cool catchphrase "We're going to steal a __________" GAH it was so cringey.
Favorite character: Eliot, Hardison, and Parker. You can't make me choose.

This requester as of late September 2015 has work that is NOT WORTH doing. Even the penny HITs that historically took a few seconds are now gone and replaced with longer strings of boxes. Look at the five cent ones... paragraph upon paragraph to type in! Plus, look at the recent [Turkopticon](https://turkopticon.ucsd.edu/A3HV8QI42N179B) ratings with reports of increased rejections.
