Tumblr round-up
Been a while, eh? Here's what I've been doing in the meantime...
(Mostly my own stuff, reblogs only when I've added something of substance. I mean, I figure you've all seen the stuff that gets reblogged already, right?)
Legend of Korra stuff
Post-finale (oldest to newest):
...everything else
(Mostly my own stuff, reblogs only when I've added something of substance. I mean, I figure you've all seen the stuff that gets reblogged already, right?)
Legend of Korra stuff
Post-finale (oldest to newest):
- I suggest that pairing Korra with Mako in fic doesn't actually make her not-bisexual. Judging by the current state of the discussion, which I keep hate-reading because it's terrible, no one listened.
- How Lin feels about thinly veiled homophobic concern trolling re: Korrasami / And how I feel about it!
- Lin has serious doubts about Bopal
- I raise my eyebrows a LOT at the notion that Korrasami devalues platonic friendship
- Talking about the age gap between Lin and Su
- Ikki and Huan are ready to give you a makeover
- Yes, I'm still talking about oppressive capitalism in Book 1
- Putting Lee Lin Chin tweets on Lin Beifong screencaps is my new hobby / no, really
- 2014 fic round-up (look, it's all LoK. It's all Lin Beifong. Stop judging me.)
- Yes, I do think a lot about Lin being an heiress!
- Art prompt: Lin/Mako time travel McGuffin '50s-esque Cold War Republic City noir (inspired by this sketch by Will Ruzicka, which I'm slightly obsessed with)
- I still don't understand why people were talking about deleting their Tumblrs after the finale, but it's definitely doing fandom wrong
- Despite my issues with Tumblr social justice, I wish it would filter a bit more down to LoK fandom, because it's been terrible lately / fandom reveals an ableist streak for Book 4 and I hate it a lot
- An important realisation about Varrick, which I still secretly believe is true
- I just think Lin was the most precious nine-year-old authoritarian control freak you ever saw
- Why ship Bolin with a well-developed, layered female character when there's a one-note dude right there? / What do you mean, sidelining a female character for a dude has a dash of misogyny? / Where am I going to get LGBT representation if not with dude characters? (That ask is extra hilarious in light of the finale!) / Whyyyyy did people keep asking me about Bolin shipping?!
- I argue in favour of Lin's characterisation in "Operation Beifong" (and I didn't even touch the issue of Chinese filial piety, on account of knowing nothing about it, but I totally meant to do some research before everyone got distracted by the finale)
- But seriously, I empathise with Lin a lot
- Anon asks if I ship Tokka (AHAHAHAHAHA NO) / Conversation about Toph and Azula as AMAZING (terrible) parents and also saddling fictional cranky people with babies: a perfectly normal hobby
- I really don't understand why people are so mad at Tenzin for not launching a pre-emptive strike for his ex-girlfriend's family.
- I make a completely inaccurate prediction about "Operation Beifong", but stand by Team How About Not Just Declaring War For The Hell Of It nonetheless
- FANDOM WAS WRONG ABOUT THE EMPRESS DOWAGER CIXI AND I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT
- Baatar Jr is going to be in so. much. trouble.
- Someone on Tumblr said that if the Twelfth Doctor was a woman, she would be Lin Beifong
- Notes on Lin's bending
- On Kuvira's internment camps
- Ableism and PTSD in Book 4
- Preceded by ... a rant about ableism in the fandom! (Also, just by the by, if you want to watch a serious trainwreck, check out Ikkin's Tumblr post-finale, which has steadily devolved from "I can't be homophobic because I'm ace" to "But how can parents be expected to explain bisexuality to their children?")
- Meditations on Lin and Zuko
...everything else
- 2015: The year I stop wasting time on second-rate fanworks
- Having trouble with the glorification of police in TV right now / and some more
- A delightful cartoon about my suburb of Brunswick
- Social Media Behaviour for Fandom/Celebrity Interactions (a reblog, but deserve more attention, although I suspect it's nothing new to anyone here)
- So my mother used to be an informant for QLD's Special Branch
- The greatest thing ever said about me on an anon meme
- OitNB sketch: Piper
- I really love academic feuds
- Sexism in history
- Historical bias in Egyptology
- I sold my first short story! (To an anthology I inspired with a Tumblr post!)
- Also, I co-edited a book! About Doctor Who companions! (I just read the whole thing again today, and I have to say, it's pretty rad.)
