stop complaining that traumatized characters that actually act traumatized are whiny 2k18

Like…imagine being self-righteously dead-set against fictional redemptions and redemption stories because you legitimately believe that a character realizing they’re being horrible, feeling remorse about being horrible, and wanting and deciding to stop being horrible is a bad message to put out into the world.

TIL the original TRON (1982) was not considered for a visual effects Oscar because the Academy felt the filmmakers had cheated by using computers.

excuse you

1- you LITERALLY JUST MADE THAT UP, it’s FAKE MAGIC?? you can’t just TYPE A THING AND MAKE PEOPLE LUCKY- THAT’S NOT A THIIIIING

2-cheers to adding yet more nonsensical superstition to the internet, yeah we definitely needed more of THAT

3-…you just turned a perfectly nice post into GARBAGE REBLOG BAIT PREYING UPON PEOPLE THAT WILL BELIEVE SOMETHING IS MAGIC JUST BECAUSE SOME PUNK TYPED OUT A SENTENCE AND HIT *REBLOG*

Also how can Arthur Conan Doyle write a character like Irene Adler 1891 and have her 1. Outsmart Sherlock Holmes and get away with it and 2. Be in no way a damsel or love interest to Sherlock.. But every modern retelling not only has her be a sexual /love interest character but she is posed as being very very smart… But never smart enough to just outwit him, get away with it and move on? Women can be smart, sure, but no one is allowed to be smarter than Sherlock.

It’s been over 120 years and Irene is, at her best, never as decently treated as the original.

Me looking at way too many fics: This is a potentially interesting OC but I am having trouble getting past your claim that it is in fact Harry Potter.
