if you legitimately believe that DA fandom is more argumentative/wanky/rude than any other, you must be new to this world

Broodmother PR Rep: This. A thousand times this. This is the first fandom I’ve ever actually been active in. That is because I spent years on the internet simply watching various fandom communities.

Real “fandom wank” is not someone calling you out for saying something heterosexist or otherwise problematic from a social justice perspective, or someone respectfully pointing out that you seem to have missed a certain aspect of a character or event.

Real fandom wank is…I don’t even know how to describe it? Does anyone have any examples from other fandoms?

All I can ever really think of is HP fandom and the women who were “married” to Severus Snape on the astral plane. It was on journalfen’s fandom_wank, but I don’t know if it counts as actual wank or is more just WTF.

The Sloths are coming…slowly

Enjoy the brand new trailer for my sloth sanctuary documentary. It airs this Saturday, Dec 17th on Animal Planet at 8pm. Worth throwing a slumber party for I think.

Aw, baby sloths ❤

Concept art of Jack in  ME3, not final as far as I know.. Eric just showed me.

..I don’t know.. the hair…it….it’s throwing me off.. What do you guys think? 

The midriff bandage/strap thing REALLY ANNOYS ME, but the hair isn’t so bad. I wish it didn’t have a pony tail though.

Jack is looking very Tank Girl, which is never a bad thing, and I love Jack, I adore her vicious messed up self.

All I know is I am glad she’ll be in it!

I don’t really like the ponytail but otherwise I am fairly indifferent.

Why is she suddenly a sniper though

Why can’t the Mass Effect team be more like the Dragon Age team though.

Bolded because I had been having Thoughts earlier along those lines re: construction of arcs for female companion characters in ME2 versus those in DA2, especially on the handling of LIs and their handling of their “emotional baggage” and issues in connection to the romance. Dragon Age writers handled things better. On several points.

You’re a murderer! The 2nd to last gif in your folder is who you killed, the 2nd gif is the detective who’s on your case. Will you be caught?

Soooo, Dumbledore is going to catch me because I murdered Sherlock Holmes :D.

Detective:

Well, my victim is the detective, but he hasn’t regenerated after he was killed, so…

Yeah, I’m probably screwed.

Detective:

I think that gif speaks for itself re: my getting caught or not.

Some of my favorite medieval lit.

Reblogging awesome books.

I studied Beowulf twice in undergrad (once in Intro Western Lit I, again in British Lit I, and some comparative stuff with The Eaters of the Dead and The 13th Warrior in an advanced comp class focused on book-to-film adaptations) and it bothered me when people called it boring. There are arms getting ripped off and dragons being slain, that is not boring at all to me.

My Western Lit prof did a great job of emphasizing that the narrative, while recorded by a Christian monk, is an older tale from a Germanic tribal society whose cultural values don’t always mesh with modern perceptions of Christian virtues. When Beowulf lists off all the things he’s accomplished, that’s not “bragging” or “being full of himself”: that’s his resume. If he doesn’t tell it, how is Hrothgar to know that the guy who just showed up is actually a qualified problem-solver? (This is also a big part of my massive dislike for the narrative choices that the CGI Beowulf movie made.)

Brit lit was mostly full of people who didn’t try to “get” the story.
