MY SENGOKU BASARA 4 SUMERAGI HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.
_WHEEEEEEEE_
We kicked off our playthrough with some of the routes already present in 4 and then jumped right into playing Ashikaga's drama. My friends weren't affected, given the villain protagonist, but I damn near made myself cry because said villain protagonist is also my goddamn favourite character, and I didn't expect his drama ending to be such a goddamn feelspocalypse. Why did I pick such a trash can of a favourite character again?
I posted other thoughts about the game[ in a thread here](https://www.reddit.com/r/SengokuBasara/comments/3mvcjj/sengoku_basara_4_sumeragi/) for anyone who's interested. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyMkotRk80YzFOT1J6VkJaRThEODF0NkNRd1d4a3hjaGRBbTJlWElQZ3FWRE85bGhGYXdTNndUVXFCS1J4WGJ1NFBTdl9pY0l5NVI2RHAyaE1HN1dOZjJNY3dzR2d5NVAtTXlOQ2NreUQxdVk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5b202aEZtVkcydGFwN29jZFpLLWJMUXgyQlRMZzlWLS1YX0d2M0N6N2xEbFMwbFMzTnhibXl2b3NXSXRFWWxZQkJGT1ZfaWRNMzZZLVN5UFVXeXNkcGt1OHVUZnJHTjVsSWVWN29LRmV6MUs5OEdpVXVrd0JIbjNNa3VPTmNjUTl2OXUwTXZ0VFpONnNmQklRc2J6VVVUWnFfenZKamN3LWhKcXdPN0VBQ01wTE9zanNQS2JzVTdKRUNNaXg3TE5F |
I *feeeeeel* this article in my bones. My game development thesis is effectively a very elaborate fanfic, and at this time it looks like it's gonna take some four months and 120k+ words for me to finish it, not even counting the time I need to spend researching and coding the damn thing. Every time we're sitting around complaining about work, I get the same "oh you're just writing fanfic, you get off so easy" from people and it's just... rrrrgh
Another thing to consider is that a while back (during the most serious Sherlock boom) when it suddenly became fashionable to discuss fanfiction, there was this short moment in time where people tried to degender fanfiction, make it out as being something men and women do equally as much, but when studies were done, it was found that women do it way more and suddenly *everyone* needed to get a crack at "those crazy fangirls who write gay porn."
I mean, it's always been there. But honestly, I've been writing fanfic since middle school and I never felt ashamed to do it until literally every internet publication on earth decided that we're an acceptable target because we're mostly women exploring our enjoyment of a series in a way that's meaningful to us.
(also, I love how the author's pronouns are right under the title) | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-09-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyczF5cTcxaEc1SXo1V2pKWkpKbTkxbGk4c3g3UVFfd3hvcFdsUGVsTWxvRHdOTUs5cUtwMGNrNGRiRTV1ck9xcnlHSjFscWVfMEp1MkYyYmJoZDNrcDBPeW1uTTlGU1duc1FTSTVBOVBKMTQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5NWVuamQ2SWR4NFd0bzZidEpyS2dhaEkxSC1RcG4xQmVWaTVfNUZycGhnNFJxaHFoc0FFRklCYnlSSm9UNXJFRjlkRlhwMkM0ODBObGhuLTg5aml4eFVwd1otWUN1RVZNOEJpVXNYYVBIUXhESEtLVUdJUGRzUDZKNER0MC1GdFoyNWFkbkpLSGNfTEtmNkFOX1VHM1Z6SlB4dF9CcEN1bWJRSXgtOTJicDhsbVFHdkdYUUlkbkNDc1lEMkJvMnQ1 |
Hi there, I subscribed to the Cartoon Hangover channel because I absolutely loved their cartoons. And I don't mind nothing being on the channel for a while, I want quality and I know it takes time to create good content. However in the last few weeks the channel has just been putting out list after list after list. I understand they don't want their channel to become completely desolate, but I simply don't care about these videos. So now I have unsubscribed their channel until actual cartoons are back. What is your opinion on the channel trying a different kind of video? | r/cartoonhangover | post | r/CartoonHangover | 2015-09-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyNVRrTm1XdEc5U1h1Q2NkSHNxMDRVc0xOcEtRdkVJSjhPMlVpVlBlMndoOVc5S0FtT2xjcEQwZ283OHozQWRBN0k2VFNyenp6d3cyVVBqMjdDbWxrMnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5VUFhNE9xMWpKTHNKdlpBaTNDNy1lLXJyQ3dtUzd1MTR2TVZxMUp5WjhCUTRtQmlPeGdLVk1HMnF4bnNFQjd4YVNlWFZHeGN3bWljcDBMbHdHNlBBOG9OQ09QRzRlYTJFTUYyZkRWcGJiSGNLNG54ZVN2MjVOY3Jvc0lnSVpSOEY0aEJtXzNpTzJ0SWx0cDFSNnFidDE2dWR6TFhtNXVLSHZ2OFBsWlRVZHRZMWhVeEwtaFFjOW5mZXhrbEVSVVRtOVUtaVRLaHRxalVNazRURFhoVFF1QT09 |
Hey, my name is John Rosin and I'm a graduate student at Northwestern University. But more importantly, I'm a gamer.
My team and I are interested in profiling a video game expert, professional or competitive gamer for our final thesis. The theme is how video games changed the world, all we need is a nice face to go along with it! If this interests you, just let me know.
Who knows, this could make you (more) famous. | r/chicagogaming | post | r/ChicagoGaming | 2015-09-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyN2wwT1J2WHlkR2lKMExMb1VFNlNQamEtLVpsa0NwbWRmTGQ5QzJOTE15V1dqcGlSOXZGdEtHQVVCUjNqZjdkdVBWLW1NWFJOVEU5WkhpSEpaeHFLZ1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5bWtNZkk4ZVRhMHBCZ0RMNjRRcnd2R2ViNy1wUHNkMXlqYU1QdDZjQWR1bkc0YTNHNG5kNmtIU1BMU1hpdkRCVExUS013cEVkbGV0UFBUOXlTbDJ1U1Nua1BlTDhwUXpHT2JlNG5UZFNYU2dGYkVlWEplOXFzMXo4YjNxVm5WVFQ2eTZWYXk3cTl3SGsyNFdKd1lFSVVlTU5TM0FtSi1wNTZuQWRHRWg1ZkRYaGE4RW94c2tlam1YTzhZNXlzVjNG |
I'm putting off reading The Shepherd's Crown. It's Terry Pratchett's last book. After this, there's no more. And I know from the reviews that I'm going to start crying on page one, and I don't know how I'll ever stop. It's sitting there in my Kindle library. I think I may have to just stare at the cover for a while longer. I'm just not ready to say goodbye. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyRHpOVDVMSFYyU01rQjZMWFdiYzhPdVl3bEh4MEV2S2ZtRkpFX2FYaXhEVWxoRXJFYTh0TTNTVGxzbVNjZkdGUUlXOWNENnJLLTc0dWtOem9aWTkwWXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5RVpfd2ZITVVITm5MTzJsbHp0bXJyRjZESjB5dG1UWnhFNDNsMVhqSTQ5UWFBYi02Q09ISE80ZXphMVVkNTVFRW9lM0dkbC1yaGpGLVRvM1VvTjlBM29pMEUtcC14eDdTZGY0QkNXVW4wWDBBTzVjRGY4WkFCSjJBX3UxMExaZzBLT25JODhJVHNIZmVIamt6Nmh5STAtUldzQWlQOWM1MWZFWEZUdWNVQ214NjVaTzRKSGNuS0ZlbHJ2aHNaMkZo |

Apparently I really need to become a fan of Hawaii 5-O. The number of times I've stumbled upon screenings, promotions, filming, etc. is too high to not get proper excitement out of it. I wouldn't be surprised if I've seen the actors before and just haven't realized.
I walked straight through an on-location set (is that the term? Idk) today without realizing it until googling the signs later.

There is a ton of good content here that is centered here in the US and I have been very pleased with everyone's interest in this new sub. That said, we only get the occasional post from other areas of the world, but we would really like to see more. Weather connects as all as humans. A re-curving typhoon in the Asian side of the pacific can have major impacts on weather here in the US. Such phenomenon happens across the globe. There are certainly unique and interesting phenomenon in your country to post here as well!

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily comic strip by American cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985 to December 31, 1995. It follows the humorous antics of Calvin, a precocious, mischievous, and adventurous six-year-old boy, and Hobbes, his sardonic stuffed tiger. The pair is named after John Calvin, a 16th-century French Reformation theologian, and Thomas Hobbes, a 17th-century English political philosopher.[2][3] At the height of its popularity, Calvin and Hobbes was featured in over 2,400 newspapers worldwide. As of January 2015, reruns of the strip still appear in more than 50 countries. By 2010 nearly 45 million copies of the 18 Calvin and Hobbes books have been sold.[1]
Calvin and Hobbes is set in the contemporary United States in an unspecified suburban area, which is vaguely suggested to be in northeast Ohio. The strip depicts Calvin's flights of fancy and his friendship with Hobbes. It also examines Calvin's relationships with family and classmates. Hobbes' dual nature is a defining motif for the strip: to Calvin, Hobbes is a live anthropomorphic tiger; all the other characters see him as an inanimate stuffed toy. Though the series does not mention specific political figures or current events, it does explore broad issues like environmentalism, public education, philosophical quandaries, and the flaws of opinion polls.[4]
Calvin and Hobbes was conceived when Bill Watterson, working in an advertising job he detested,[5] began devoting his spare time to cartooning, his true love. He explored various strip ideas but all were rejected by the syndicates. United Feature Syndicate finally responded positively to one strip called Critturs, which featured a side character (the main character's little brother) who had a stuffed tiger. Told that these characters were the strongest, Watterson began a new strip centered on them.[6] Though United Feature rejected the new strip, Universal Press Syndicate eventually took it.[7][8]
The first strip was published on November 22, 1985, [9] and the series quickly became a hit. Within a year of syndication, the strip was published in roughly 250 newspapers. Before long the strip was in wide circulation outside the United States. By April 5, 1987, Watterson and his work were featured in an article in The Los Angeles Times.[7] Calvin and Hobbes twice earned Watterson the Reuben Award from the National Cartoonists Society in the Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year category, first in 1986 and again in 1988. He was nominated again in 1992. The Society awarded him the Humor Comic Strip Award for 1988.[10] Calvin and Hobbes has also won several more awards.

I'm fairly certain I've read every single Calvin and Hobbes ever published. I love its weirdness and the way it approaches childhood. The last strip still gets me in the feels.
I really liked the 'Noir Detective' character he had in one storyline (I can't remember the name now) and always wished he'd show up more, like Spaceman Spiff did. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyQ056NmdIV2hrX2FCOFd2cUwyUUNpZFB2TExaS1hGZk91V09nTEpBck1oNWQ5QXFFQndITGM5LU5TNTNVM0hIUjZkSTdtYk05eTlaZVctVzV3WXRQbWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5MWp0d3FVeHlMQVJnRzNSS09Zc3pfV3pPNDNrNUZEYldDN2VTOWtBeTM2a0RzMmpCWlFDemxndDAwRTVKZ2xZM2hteGJCTnJJTENqTENfeEF2aGJPMGFRWjlsVUpXTWJPalJVSzVadkhWbmNnazJ1a1RSV1Jfc1FBemQ0NHdBX09FeDE2LXlwX2JIclRRZEk0R1pVMm5zOXZoeXFvVTNsMzVKandLYVQ5V3Btc1RQVlBTa2R2azNaa1RidF9odm1U |
I loved these two in season one and how the actors stated over and over again that they're playing it like a brother/sister relationship.
And then... suddenly... it's just so disappointing.

My mom's a big open upon a time fan so I've watched enough to know that they have very loose interpretations of the original tales. Definitely don't remember seeing Shang but there might have been mentions of him maybe? Mulan had a huge plot with Aurora and it was honestly pretty clear that she was in love with her. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyYTFVTE9Vb25OaWk1QlEwYWJwd1RkZjRkN0ZIQWJsVkZGMklaZ0JweUhCWFBYRTVxTnFndXNnME5senFrWUthaE9GZXlQc19UT2dOZVFkZksxMVZBeVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5aWw0d3dSZjY3UG5xUm1KcDg4QWd3Y3oyZElpLUltMWRYNFFRSE5SVldlaTd5RE1RbjFlWk9iUWhLczFTOWpfY3VNNTFLNklrS0hqdmVleVRIbkZORWd2ZHRiVzhHa2pObE1FdlVnRExYZTAzMVdxd2I1SXVERENrQUg3QW5SYU1qbXRCSTZQaWFDU2hUcXpJWlpDd1pkNnNfaE5YMUVISlpSa3RwbjBJV05GVFpDeHVjVng0eXNhX1lCWW9NeE1y |

That's what I mean. They're potentially erasing maybe the only character in Disney canon that has even remotely been shown to have secual/romantic feelings on a bisexual level in order to reformat his love interest to get more diversity? I think it would have been more interesting to show a hetero relationship where one or both are bi who also happen to be in a happy relationship where the whole point of their plot has nothing to do with their relationship. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyRnRVWmZnajFpaVFweXJYQktiN01sRUtXUlpnaTQ4aHF2aGpoOWprT3haM09POGtYTWY1TS1rOWNfQnZIT2w3cVY0RnFrdVU5ejNKRzZLZ3pNYTBDQWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5THNEd1plZzhTSjVFbG5ub3RzcXhib3hUa0puZ2p4aXFXZWFjWlB6SVcxOWZBTGVFNGdUSnp1Qm1YN3ZxNmhpQ2MtU2pVOVFQRFlkdHVDaTluQy16VGdGUnkyWnFxSDVYRE0yT3VTWlNsb21fa21IV2d4RS1UM1JRaWU4UXJfRWg4Z2RURERhZE5kR2MzcW5DUlM1eU80RXd2X0xyeFkwN0I2dG0wMkxJZHB5ZHowNGNhUm5UV2RWQ1RkeEdFckw1 |
> to reformat his love interest to get more diversity?
I can assure you, Once Upon a Time is not that well thought out.
I do agree about the hetero relationship with bi characters angle but seeing as how American media absolutely refuses to utter the b-word for some really odd reason ("I don't like labels" anyone?), it would need an in-depth character story arc to set them up as bisexual and that might be too much to expect from a terciary character on a fantasy fluff piece.
But again Once Upon a Time is basically just disney au fanfiction, they're not constraining themselves to the source material but recreating their own stuff. In that sense they're not really excluding a character but erasing him outright. Although it's more like they're erasing Mulan's background all together I guess? I want to say since apparently she's coming back, they might tackle it but I'm not really holding my breath. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyc3h4YmJVU1pXUWtXbXNNUzNFTExvbFBNUXNsNnJnR0x0MlFsdm5NbVF1aFFEMzRzdHJhX29MZ0dSTlU0X0wxem9kdkVwMVRtT1J3S1R6M1RWY0NiZ3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5cElQOXYzOV84STlPdTVjdEdqdzJZWVZibldHQTNpS1YyOFVEeklrVS1ua1l6Qm9EcnZfdGdsM3pZRUE4UTdaQnNxdU9OY3FSc0FhSjFpdTgyWU5mS2RJeUVwREFQM0V1N2VxSzQ3bm85RjBuS01PQ1FKbGxQbXJzYlZNTWstTTJvUWRyOEtoQXVBM21qRmVxa0QyTEVaTEcxWGxZWmV5eWVlNFVseGdSNC1vbFN4T0lyS2RqcmFpdHI0LVRqSFBh |

I've been a fan of C&H since the late 80s. I think it's the best comic strip ever written. I wouldn't really say that I'm involved in the fandom to any significant degree, but I do sometimes like fanart that references it, and every now and then I'll read fanfiction, though one sad one made me so depressed I'm a little more wary about it than some of my other casual fandoms. Here are a few of the ones I did like, though:

In the case of the twilight books and movies, it's because older people can see the message behind the love story. It's not cute or romantic for Edward to be watching Bella sleep, that's fucking creepy. It's weird that he's over 100 years old and she's a teenager who doesn't know any better. Her attachment to him isn't healthy (like when she shuts down for months after he leaves), it's obsession and borderline addiction withdrawals. Jacob is actually an okay guy, whereas Edward literally tells Bella that sometimes he has a hard time not eating her. Oh, but it's her fault because she smells so good, not because he can't control himself. ("Baby, if you didn't make me angry, I wouldn't have to hit you.")
That's not even scratching the surface of the pro-life club Meyer bludgeons her readers to death with later when Bella gets pregnant and decides to keep the baby despite the fact that it's literally killing her. She's an emaciated skeleton with bruises and cracked ribs who has to drink blood to survive by the last trimester.
And it's partly responsible for Fifty Shades of Grey. Strike three.
The music, though, that's different. I don't like most of it, but it's really no worse than Hanson's Mmm-Bop or anything NKOTB put out. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyREFzTjVCQzI2MDdTcmtKZlRnV2JkT2lMZVNBR083ZjZWZU91QUxuQXRsWXN1eG16RElLQmFvbE1CNFJaUG0yWm1LU1ZRVXFCUXd0YThxeU1oQVFBUmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5dHhCUGQzNmFtRmh2ZzhJU3Rqa0hkSW9fUHFaRUZYczFFYzZyV3Q1bG1RQ2FvQXZVYm9mXzZUdjNGSnNIUjA5QkEyN3ZNeDlZNnlkS0JKSWdhYlRtMDNpdEMwWTZndWxPR3UtMGFseEJJOGlIS3pPalJOTVkyZHE3ZHcwcU1hUEtFNTd0ZlktTTlpNkNjMVBMS1hWcndpQW9mb2VGSzhsc3lBdTVPOE8ycGh1dHpyMkFyVS1BSzV1ZDEzaGxCZldfYXE0azJQbmxIZ3g4YVhiNkttNmxRZz09 |
This makes me thank god I was such a space cadet in high school. I can't remember a single moment I ever thought or came to a realization I was "Other."
>“We've seen more than our fair share of bad action movies, bad movies geared toward men or 13-year-old boys. And you know, the reviews are like ‘OK that was crappy, but a fun ride.’ But no one says ‘Oh my god. If you go to see this movie you're a complete xxxxing idiot.’ And that's the tone. That is the tone with which people attack 'Twilight'.”
I loved this point. This is totally true. I've watched all 4 Twilights and they're so stupid but they're still a totally fun blockbuster-y ride.
>“The next time you have the impulse to dismiss something out of hand because it's popular with teen girls, stop and ask yourself if that dislike is based on who seems to enjoy it the most.
I definitely don't dislike Twilight because of its fans. I actually wanted to *like* Twilight because of its fans: all my little 14 yr old female campers gushed to me about it for like a full week telling me about the plots and the characters and the love story and but it still has vampires and werewolves so "promise, haunty, you'll totally love it! UGH it's just *so good*!!!"
So I read the first book and I was sad because I *did* think Meyers wrote a "weak, passive, not-good role model for teen girls."
If it's any consolation though, I thought Meg Murray from Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time was a shitty, boring, uninspired character too (and I used to read & reread that book all the time as a kid). The difference was L'Engle's superior writing quality, world building, and other characters that I genuinely loved (like Meg's brother Charles Wallace) - Twilight lacked these things.
I'm not sure if the genderbent story Meyers has released will make much of a difference in my opinion. Although I admit I do enjoy reading and rooting for weak & passive men more than I do weak & passive women.
In this article it makes it sound like that's saying, "I like masculine women more" because of this excerpt:
>Often, the female-written young adult books that are wildly successful are those that feature protagonists with traditionally male characteristics, such as Tris in Veronica Roth’s “Divergent” and Katniss in Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games.”
But I'm sorry. If you don't find vulnerability that you can empathize with attractive, I don't know what's going on. Just like men are like, "I'm attracted to women! I want to save them when they're vulnerable! I like stories which depict men I can identify with saving women I find attractive!" *I'm* doing the same thing going, "I'm attracted to men! I want to save them when they're vulnerable! I like stories which depict women I can identify with saving men I find attractive!" (edit: btw Peeta & Gale were bad vulnerable male characters imo; I would've preferred reading Katniss interacting with Finnick and/or the camera brothers - they were so badass & noble & yet their traumatic pasts rendered them compellingly vulnerable).
What'll be *really* interesting is not whether Bella and Beau translate but rather whether women will be able to identify with and love genderbent *Edward* - Edyth. Because if they do/can, then this version of the book might in fact get more famous than the original. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyNmJXV3RTNEQ3SjZTNUJKX0Q5LVhZVV9TOHFRQW1ab3EwZzB2Ql9yMkZkRUpqMi0yNzk5VHB5Y01nTzdKSzJlaGxGUHFjdGRiWldWTE5FM09mZ1FJbEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5YjZSUTlGdFQwT2V5TmNiaTRndk9kNWlSWk1nZ0dqYWpwYm82akFjRUpuWEpFN1dvd0s4VEJ3SlVYZ191Wi13czl5ZWVycGt6UGVNVE90bDRJYlF6TGtKbXVTTmlVODRHUjU0dE9icGVoeFR4VkljQ3FncEtndFU1UkgtV1hKd2FPTEE1ZkFLTzc0R1FIbEhILXl0NDVUanY3cExRR1Q1djljdlV5ekN1VktBajRJMXAwUTNob3I0R1JiUTZnaERlRHFlTm9RZGw1a2I0N1VGTnQzdU1Sdz09 |
Yeah, I agree on both points. I think there are perfectly legitimate and non-misogynistic reasons to think Twilight is stupid, but there's no real excuse for most of the music. I'm not really into boy bands (and wasn't even when I was a teenager due to the fact that my parents basically did not allow anything recorded after about 1975 to be played in our house), but I'm not aware of anything genuinely awful about 1D, and certainly not any worse than any other popular music. The Beatles, meanwhile, are now considered one of the greatest bands ever, and while I doubt 1D has that sort of staying power, the teen fangirls of the 60s are definitely in a position to laugh at all their naysayers! | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyZFdNbTJlSS1WemFqNHdEV0NXRHpzbXRhVHpCSm41MlN0NV9ySE42c3o4a2p1Y0VubjBsLWxLcE5WU2FRRk9IRTN1bXlCem1IamVkcmp4S2tXLTVwUmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5cXhtU3ZXWXpKSm9VX0xRYndlbHotZHJQN2R2TFVXZEN0OTYtVHBpdGVHbWZpRGYyakY1aWd6Z3djVU5EWVJsZ1dNUVZTS2VrYWVtT3UwSnBTSWxBajVVTGVtZ2dQTzhOeWVfVjJ5OF8zemp4MVZvTUJnRmNORUNCVVBxaFA5Yk8yem9wa0ZFM3R1LU5hQy1pWXY2LWZOd09ra3lVbDN5X1ZwWGJMRVU5eTVhd3RZR1NHSkdxNWJQOXpqMjhyNE9uZTdwb2U2bzRlZmw3Y3FjcEVlY2N2Zz09 |

Okay well to be fair, I always loved Buffy and Angel and these two things both happened/were established in BTVS.
The power dynamic in BTVS was great though -- Buffy was a vampire *slayer* -- she was de facto the more powerful supernatural "creature" falling in love with a less powerful (albeit older) supernatural creature. She also wasn't obsessed or addicted to Angel -- she still had a job/mission/fate to fulfill as a protector of innocent people (and monsters). Bella had none of this: she was just an infatuated powerless doll that just laid there when she wasn't the object of a dangerous creatures' affections. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyQnlUWmFKT2ItSzNFVWxLNUZtSmQtbHhDcG1SY3lnYWtXUG5leWplRWpzN0ZpcVY4LTYycVlZVmpTRW5PRThyd0NyT1FPZkstdzBaNXlPVFFtZF9YT1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5TnFSeTQwUU5WYXAtM0ZMdjVRUU83T2ktYV9VRWFXaFNFcUNDNmJ3ZEFoMFRBTUFmU09PdHM1RWNidUpfdE1OakxWb2piWktORUVjLTNjYWk2dnhXT01DLXhFNlUzQjlFM04wS3VsOTkwSWYtZ2VodEstdXdERFU0c05jMWtxTU5lb1Jac2F1T18wQUNTVHo4enZLZ2NmZFQ2eUg2aExSMWM0Ry1MdndkUmtDUTVEa3o4SElEU0xXMXlFYzBzWkgyd3AtN2JncXIxTEs2X3JmZTlsS25XQT09 |
If it were just Twilight and the messages therein that people had a problem with, then yeah, pound away. But this is on par with "fan girls" and their likes going back to Sinatra and Elvis at least.
http://www.theguardian.com/century/1940-1949/Story/0,,127764,00.html
Even this article mentions "previous" mania type fandoms, and it's highlighting "with zeal!" just the lengths of how far fangirls went even back then- that's the story here, not that Sinatra sold out completely. "Girls be crazy."
But the problem isn't that this one fandom propped up a super sketchy story (and I know many a teenaged girl who went "Uhhh...." at the end- even my sister who grew up as a teenager on these books), but that they're constantly being dismissed and rocketed with super patronizing "uh.. girls like this one thing- that makes this one them and them super weird and gross" whether it's Valentino or Houdini or The Beatles (they only got "fixed" once they started being more "serious" about their music) or Twilight or DW or SPN or whatever. Nobody bats an eye if a boy has his entire bedroom covered in NY Yankee posters, wears a NYY ballcap constantly, and knows every stat for every player going back to 1922. A girl doing the same for Doctor Who or even Batman is regarded completely differently.
PS Twilight had a bigger problem of being based on Buffy fanfiction, but didn't have the writing ability to make it good on its own right. It's like a Xerox copy without making sure it was a good copy- 50 Shades being even more so. Neither writer had the writing ability to write well, fanfiction basis or not. The trapdoors of writing fanfiction in general just compounded the problem. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyOW1LdEhndkx2YzhncmNmMWllODducHMtaVEwellwczRJUFpsbWdISUI4RFRsZ1dhZFc1d003a0dhQnhzWlNMSG14aEJ3VFl1VXlkS29OcGJnX0RpaEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5OXBkY2d1aHF4bi02LVlrU3pObHA1WW9ObS1jTnNLbVJYeEFjQkdOdkhET1VuWFJLRzhJNmRseXpqa2NCbkJrT2ZFM2JFTURmaUh2TVY3YU5yUVVfN1RRaWppb1ZhaHlVVEZCMTB0c3VKUEN0dUJ2YWVjRGZyR0xCcEZqaEI1RlJYUzNzS0JqanktM3cyWXZoVTRlUGFjcmZJM3BXaTZhVU9KOWZqcUN1Q3JCcjhJV0pVQjZTR2tpWDVjRVJ3NnNfM0JrSl9pbng4WVdaOGdZdTBmZXZFdz09 |
"maybe she just liked being an infatuated powerless doll..."
I think the real issue here is that nobody- not one single person set up boundaries for anyone ever. Edward didn't give a shit, Bella was "way" too young to handle that level of a relationship, and there's a reason her parents completely checked out at the speed of plot. At least one of them should have been laying down some massive laws for them both about acceptable relationships and boundaries "I don't give a shit if you're 125 years old, you start dicking around with my daughter and her health and wellbeing, and I WILL put you over my knee and spank you with a wooden spoon. I don't give a shit about super powers or whatever, you look at me like that one more time, and your ass will be grass."
Nope, they're all off dicking around fishing or fucking some weird professional baseball player.

And it doesn't stop when you grow up either...
There's historical precedent for this too. Just look at at the backlash against gothic romance novels at the earlier end of 1800s. Even Jane Austen jumped on the bandwagon with writing Northanger Abbey, which took the mick out of girls and women liking that genre of writing. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyMWRMaUl1Mmd5eEpYV3gxc0stSzZhWVIxRTZJcUs5Y3oyR2RwVjBxdG9MQVBXMW1JQzdRWXRjaHR6cm0zbjhfQUp6YnltaWQtQ0M2eEx0WW5pNmdTMnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5VElJbVRCdE1zb0FQN2NxRzBHalctTVhhSVJtNnBQVXljcWJOam1KbkZaYWEyQnZjV004MDM0OFZkN1VlOEpnc0FJcjZkU3drN0dHeGFhcjJSbGxkRGVRdHlEV2JmcHVKMXYxTWRsWU1NX0ZPM3Y0NlA3Wk9lRHBwcGF3UXp0WFdsejMxTF9yY056UzJXN2FOTmliaWZrRkJpVHlyc1ZfMXBMcUNEYWRSazJJM0xkczlaalVocE1mYnJWNTc2ZWxPeTVkTHRiNEZISFN3cHZNcDhiVmRmZz09 |

The Nightmare Before Christmas, often promoted as Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, is a 1993 American stop motion dark fantasy musical film directed by Henry Selick, and produced and conceived by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, a being from "Halloween Town" who opens a portal to "Christmas Town" and decides to celebrate the holiday, with some dastardly and comical consequences. Danny Elfman wrote the film score and provided the singing voice of Jack, as well as some minor characters. The remaining principal voice cast includes Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey, Ken Page, Paul Reubens and Glenn Shadix.

Hey everyone!
Just started a new D&D Group and we really need a DM. We already built characters with their stats. We just want a DM to choose the scenario so we can build our backstories off of that a little!
Please respond here if you are interested or just message me.
Please we would like to be a serious group playing regularly! | r/chicagogaming | post | r/ChicagoGaming | 2015-10-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyUC1Gc0NpR21Jd1k3cDl2SEVKS1FJMkFfWUhhQUtJS0ZvNTZLT3JBZ0dIalVZZnhTTEdWOHFYTm9RSlZSVFFXYkxvdXd0VzIwSnZkSk1nbkl4T0xRcEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5NWkyRkVaRS05WXNVSEFzQ1UwOHdjVmZHX05lVDNpZmpXU2hZdzhSUVNVRHdObS1LUkc1NmpxeDFpYTdrMThXRE9JNDQ3LXdNTHljc2NvN2pPaHotNnpCWk5OTWE4U3M0VG81OE9IYjRfVkZmZ2VJbkdXVVV2b0szbTdIT2laX21lb01Ncm82SEdyT3RtczAwZHpPWVdhdVpoN0J5d1M0d3E3akFKTEpjTER6WExvTVBQZVdoT29rSzRnSW9OT1A1 |
Seven times.
That's how many times I saw it in the theatres.
At the El Capitan in Hollywood, at the big cinema by the Lakewood Mall on Halloween night, when we found out River Phoenix had died, at an afternoon show in downtown Long Beach where the only other attendees were a group of slightly older goth girls who sang along (which meant I got to sing along too).
I listened to the soundtrack nonstop, I drew Jack and Sally everywhere, I was overjoyed because here was something that had everything I wanted - Danny Elfman singing (oh, I was such an Oingo Boingo dweeb and the only reason I coped with the fact that they didn't have a Halloween show that year was because of this film), Tim Burton's design, stop-motion animation and a deep thorough love of Halloween.
I taped the tiny pieces of news on *Good Morning America*, I cut out news articles and advertisements and pictures and stuck them on my walls, I asked for the toys for Christmas, and then discovered piles of them *on sale* at the WalMart near my mother's house, because the empty wastelands of the Arizona desert had no locals who would have enjoyed such a thing (and oh, how I wish I had kept all them in their boxes now!).
It felt like it was the first time in a long time that all this ridiculous delightful spooky stuff was out there where everyone could see it. Where you could like skeletons and tombstones and vampires and Frankenstein girls and it was okay, because everyone could go "Oh yeah, Nightmare Before Christmas, we get it."
I still watch it when wrapping Christmas presents or putting up decorations. I wear a Disneyland's Haunted Holidays sweatshirt when it's "Christmas Jumper" season.
I got to see the Haunted Holidays layout around six years ago, finally. I'm less of a *Nightmare Before Christmas* fan than I am a Haunted Mansion fan (have you accepted the Haunted Mansion into your heart as the One True Disneyland Ride?), but it was such a perfect combination, all gingerbread and cobwebs, all crisp white snow on tombstones, that I didn't mind, and in fact, I loved it.
I'm gonna go listen to the soundtrack again. Aw, *Nightmare Before Christmas*, you are a beautiful and precious thing. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyZlBfN1dsN1BuNFdCdDR5SmhJT3cxNlpxRDMtU01oRGwxaF9WcnJDUXNSOFQzVEUwcHdnU3dFVVJ3MWo5RERVTXdWRnlFdFNBS0N3RFlsekdhc2RkZWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5eVcyWmJxYko5TEdsaUhiYnNoVVlnN09KWGRpQ21HVy03cnU0UlJXT3l3cWxxMkVocnZaV3QyOUxHVjhfR3p6SjM3bC1IdnlHMEYwSkFENlVzTVozU2FoVDNlR213WTBsTWJEdjNLWTNqMWtiWWg3WXpfUDJFdkFWZS0ySTVkYjEwWnlCeFh4eGx2b3ZaUk1Pd2pyQUlNdENBU0Z3SGppc29JLTR3TUduR3Y5QlNxZ0RvNU5PWkc5dDhwSEtKaU9tT0U1cFJTVC1ocFo0SHBTeTZzYXRjUT09 |
For all my Asian feminists out there, unfortunately any time a topic related to Asian women comes up on Reddit--or even when we comment and identify ourselves as Asian and female--we are subject to brigading and abuse, both public and private. /r/AsianFeminism is a safe space that prioritizes Asian female voices of a wide variety of views, and that encourages everyone else to listen and learn instead of shouting over us, no matter how valid an opinion it may be. If you’re an Asian woman who is tired of the trolls, the dick pics, the racially-charged attempts at flirting or god-knows-what-he-thought-that-was, the hate mail, and the death threats, please PM the mods at /r/AsianFeminism to join the approved submitters list.

ah were I stand,I was born to a catholic family,started to drift away and think of creation when o studied more on life science and some what looked to astronomy.I never became an atheist really but I did wonder what other religions were talking up,and eventually I boomeranged back into Christianity this time bathtist.Though can't say I see truth in everything in the bible there are obvious time line issues.but there are something from comedy shows of all things that make some interesting points like futurerama's "God fellas"
and south parks episode of don't take the bible as a 100% sure thing(rewrites). | r/youngatheists | comment | r/youngatheists | 2015-10-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyR0JvRUc0R09ibk41aklRS1ItbVhfeVVVT0pXY0luazU3YjIxcVJydVRtVl81QjRhX0FxcGJtOGxfNkVDU29Kc1Y5aW9ISEZ4OWNxaFNTQVJhZ0RXbUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5UXlPVTRpZ3VFazVyRW5GRWNfM3RnQlo3V1JabHdFYmJrQUwyUWhmUjh0RFptcFdlNU1uLXdoNHNlVzZHdE0yNFppMzAyM3I5MEhUWlppQlBReU84YkdHRnlCVE5PUFhsWjFjU3RYbTltV3V3RkxCNFctLVA3bmtObzRLb2J2YVBZdDA0bDdMa3pqTWR6akhydjRBREJoZWZTTno0b0RocTJfaWc2YTJLb3AzRGhsS3lXbmpfZzhqcVViY0txY1I5MGxCdFNydGQyU0R4ZnJXVDRSX1VyQT09 |

Lessig helped inspire it! Honest Elections Seattle is a citizens' initiative seeking to limit the power of big money in local elections. It's smart. It's fair. And it's legal, even under Citizens United and McCutcheon. I'll host an AMA on it next Weds, 10/28, along with the initiative's field manager, Brianna Thomas.

I just came back from a *Trew World Order*\*\* show, and just thought I'd record a sweet memory here. After the show, he sat down on the edge of the stage and everyone started flocking towards him. I was near-ish to the front, but by the time I stood up and decided to go see him, there was already quite a few people crowded around him. I tried nudging my way past, but I noticed lots of people getting things signed, and I didn't have anything for him to sign (should've brought my *Revolution*\*!), so I backed out. But then I suddenly decided I really wanted a hug from him, so I tried again and managed to get pretty close to him. Someone was talking to him over the edge of a speaker, saying how much of an inspiration he was to him, and things were being passed back and forth to be signed and returned. I reached my hand out towards him and he was about to hand me someone's signed *Revolution*\* copy, and he gave me a funny look because I wasn't the person who gave it to him. I just waved my hand and said "no, no, I just want a handshake" and he smiled and grabbed my hand, which was quite warm, probably from doing the show. I squeezed it back and said "I love you!", and he replied with the same, sincerely, then diverted his attention to other fans. It left me pretty smiley, even up to now. After that, I basically just maneuvered back through the growing crowd. I wish I could have stayed to wait for the crowd to die down, but my sister was waiting for me.
** Tour he's doing at the moment
* Book he wrote and released recently-ish
tl;dr: We shook hands, I said I loved him, he said he loved me. \^_^

I'm still unclear whether the title question is rhetoric or not, but so much of masculinity is built on competition with other men.

**Fandom of the Week: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy**
Wikipedia's description:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a comedy science fiction series created by Douglas Adams. Originally a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1978, it was later adapted to other formats, and over several years it gradually became an international multi-media phenomenon. Adaptations have included stage shows, a "trilogy" of five books published between 1979 and 1992, a sixth novel penned by Eoin Colfer in 2009, a 1981 TV series, a 1984 computer game, and three series of three-part comic book adaptations of the first three novels published by DC Comics between 1993 and 1996. There were also two series of towels, produced by Beer-Davies, that are considered by some fans to be an "official version" of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, as they include text from the first novel. A Hollywood-funded film version, produced and filmed in the UK, was released in April 2005, and radio adaptations of the third, fourth, and fifth novels were broadcast from 2004 to 2005. Adams did many of these adaptations, including the novels, the TV series, the computer game, and the earliest drafts of the Hollywood film’s screenplay, and some of the stage shows introduced new material written by Adams.
The title is the name of a fictional, eccentric, electronic travel guide, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, prominently featured in the series.

They're playing my song again.
Hitchhiker's had an extensive Finnish production that had stuff written for it that wasn't even in the original English radio drama, so you can imagine that it's kind of a big deal here. It was also produced by Radioteatteri, who have done some of the _funniest shit_ on the planet and are on my permalisten list for that reason alone, although the jokes have aged about as well as you'd imagine British middle class humour interpreted by a culture with no contact to the outside world having aged.
I've always loved how very mundane the Hitchhiker's books are. Galactic bureacracy. Relationship trouble. Incompetent leaders. Great inventions made because of drunk college students. Great tragedies born out of tourists being tourists. It feels very real, the kind of stuff you read thinkpieces about all the time, but at the same time, it never loses its charm and tries to start pontificating about the meaning and impact of all of these mundane things. It's very approachable scifi.
The books are also one of the strongest actual literary influence to my writing style. I don't write a lot of prose (and alas, I'm more of the Whedon school of dialogue writing) but when I have to, I try to be as Adamsian in my writing as I can. All my other friends went with PTerry for their inspiration so I'm kind of a minority in that regard.
I'm even in the minority who really think the movie captured the essence of what Hitchhiker's is all about. All the characters were much nicer than they were in the books, and much more competent than they were in the radio drama, but from the start I had the same sense of well-meaning yet not quite there coming from the film, its production, and especially the performances. Kinda bitter about Trillian wearing her edges less to the surface, though, because her snark was always incredibly satisfying.
If I had to pick, though, I will always love the English radio drama the best. The Finnish is charming in its own way, but a lot of the more complicated jokes lose their impact in Finnish. The books are great, I especially like the latter half of book 3 and the first 3/4 of book 5, but the fourth one was just such a meandering, uninteresting mess plot-wise.
I love Hitchhiker's. It's still one of the biggest Western influences, after all, and I genuinely consider Adams one of the best writers who ever lived. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyVHoyUkM0aW8xa3lFVW03T2NubURQUjZQLWF6Q3VWMEpxVy1ua3R5TmdUQVVHeWp6X0RIYnhBT3E3bDNnTXdkVGlEUEVFOHBhb2RrZ3FQM0EtcXdHbUhUVjk2UW5uc1pjLVpKUzRMSmRuNGM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5aWxRdGdBV2pEZWJaZ3JMdzVzX2thRFhVcTdjWERTc3pRQ0RDalVjcXNDOWxTTXpDd3JYWjVRZ19iMnhucVA3UlNMTFlIVzdnNE16Z1NGSW05MW9QNmlMRFVKOHlZUUh4aDRtMWFJX0JybkhUUUtHdFBiTVNZSTh4Q3FMcnEwWHZuWGNxQTBtMGd0TnJzRVc4aWlzWHRKMldyakc2YnlUOU03YjBYcVdWTE84amx2WXRrVVBkbFFuRjFkVmwzNllZd2JKNHFzSmZ2SU1iU3ZrekRhMUlMdz09 |

Wow.
So okay... I actually don't mind the initial cancellation. Threats are *meant* to scare people so if SXSW management got scared for the safety of people attending their event, I kinda get it.
At the same time, I love that Buzzfeed & Vox Media stepped up to the plate to be like, "be brave, SXSW, or else we're leaving."
With the update, it looks like SXSW is at least considering (but will probably) reinstate the panels. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-28 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyRG1kRm9sdHkzNkNlZ2xZVldWT0dVaTY2dVZhWC1fQWd4UHIzdDF3dDNHbTRoemF1MjVadGEtVk1NcjFKWF8wWE0tZzZCM3J5LU5RYjIwOGVoR0RFM1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5VEZvSnhSY2JtQ1dqcklPWGtLYjhIZkRRZ21LTWktRUFXbDJvSkh6ckM5X3dLZ3N4QjdLbTZZdmdmQVlVWHA1OTM3WXBmekUzQXdDWVJ0ZXdqT3llRm45SnlxWlBGLXF4blpOS1RJd2FsMU9NeUJJdzIyTlg4U0Mzd3NWc000d3NxRGZPZl9KUmoxVXItTWhzWHdMMkNGbnI2dEVCTWFlZWtKSGt0RW01dVRQZHJRdHlFQnVTRzRfR0FmSlZWVkx1Nnp3Y29KZ0g2TFFmcGlKanExRjhsZz09 |
It's about giving into those threats. If someone doesn't feel comfortable about attending them, then they shouldn't go, but there are far more people who want to and it's specifically foe these reasons. To deny and cancel these events for a public safety reasons without a very serious reason only gives into these threats of violence and borderline terrorism. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2015-10-28 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyRnVFbUF0SFdXOXBWYzUydWpKQzFTSTJDNVgwcFVFWFdYTjJCcU5odEFKc1R5R0JRWl9wRFEweTM1ektra1VIQmh6M2pLOW90TnMwMEJoZlpvZHNNbXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5TjFOTElKRVdsZDV4Q2cybERRR195TWxPdG1oZkdybDhNTjFNUTNpX3JGUXp0TXBDQnBtZ3pFaEJwOGlOTGN1SnQtbnJHNmxfY0FzeGEwMWhQNzBrazllUjFST3Y4N0pobERTQjRVZVY0aUowdDVoeC1rYVAwbzdHeW45Q2NhRnUzZlhHdDlFR3NnNEZldUNEVG9ILXRKNVlPWFMwQ24zYlZWTnNIVndZZEdFUjNNR0ZFMUhOcUxIYmRFdzBkRmY3U0cwYm15WWRmUW1QcHctYmpWM3FDUT09 |
