I’m gonna choose to believe this “always evil and corrupted” perspective on the Drow is because Caleb’s reading imperialist literature.
Fantasy media has historically been … pretty terrible in regards to the Drow. ILU Wizards of the Coast but “matriarchal dark skinned ethnic group is ALWAYS SUPER EVIL” is not a good look and it never has been.
Me: Fjord is not telling the whole truth about his backstory, and there is a chance he is not as good and innocent as he’s pretending to be
Also Me: Fjord is a sweet angel who has never had friends before and doesn’t know how to open up, doesn’t think he’s worthy of being rescued, he is a soft boy and has done nothing wrong ever, in his life
A 3rd Me: That is exactly what Fjord wants you to think, he’s a sneaky boy with an ulterior motive
Yet Another Me: Fjord is –
Even his accent is a lie. I don’t trust that man yet.
He is nice to kids though and cares about kids. So there’s that. I don’t think he’s outright evil … but I can’t trust him yet.
I pity her daughter for the misfortune of being born to this piece of absolute shit.
okay but you should really read the full response to this though:
I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around this letter. I encourage you to reread it and to ask yourself that time-honored question, “Do I sound like a villain in a Reese Witherspoon movie?” You are, presumably, sympathetic to your own situation and are invested in making sure that you come across as reasonable and as caring as possible, and yet you have written a letter indicting yourself at every turn. This girl is “like a daughter” to you, and yet you want to shove her to the side of your other daughter’s wedding just because she walks with a limp. Your daughter’s wedding will be perfect with Katie as a full and honored member of the bridal party. A limp is not a fly in the ointment; it’s a part of Katie’s life. It is not only wrong to have asked your daughter to consider excluding her best friend over this—it is ableist, and cruel, and it speaks to a massive failure of empathy, compassion, and grace on your part. You must and should apologize to your daughter immediately, and I encourage you to profoundly reconsider the orientation of your heart.
remember when stephanie meyers was so desperate to tie up the loose ends of her love triangle that the paired off the extra dude with the couple’s newborn baby
please listen to this poor man losing his shit as he reads an article blaming millenials for killing the mayonnaise industry that was written by a babyboomer upset people don’t want to eat her bland salads anymore
[Video Narration:]
[In a hushed voice:] “Here comes the good part. [Louder, and with more enthusiasm:] ‘My son Jake, who’s 25, eats mayo. He’s a practical young man who works in computers and adores macaroni salad. He’s a good son. [With a more angry tone:] I also have a daughter. She was a women’s and gender studies [starts to laugh] major in college.’ [Laughing harder now with each word:] ‘Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise!’”
[Laughter that gets louder and more ridiculous:] [Wheezing] “Yes, the most well known side affect of feminism. [Laughs even more, with slight wheezing] [Hard to understand here:] If you take gender studies- I warned you children, you will stop enjoying mayonnaise! [Laughs more] [While laughing:] Oh, why is this so fucking funny?? [Continues laughing] Oh- I can’t- I cannot fucking deal with this- ‘She was a women’s and gender studies major in college, so [shouting] NATURALLY- [Starts to laugh again] she loathes mayonnaise.’” [Loses it again]
“NATURALLY- [Wheezing uncontrollably] Oh my God, help! [Laughs more] [Coughs a bit] [Continues laughing] Ugh! [Exhales] “Fuu- [unintelligible] face- oh God. [Chuckles] Ohhhh- this shouldn’t be so funny. [Coughs and laughs] I don’t know why this is so funny. [Laughs more quietly and calms down] “’And she’s not alone. Ask the young people you know their opinion of mayo and you’ll be SHOCKED by the depths- [Starts wheezing and laughing loudly, again] of their emotion- [Laugh] Oh, there’s the occasional outlier, like Jake’- my wonderful son whom I love unlike my terrible [starts chuckling] daughter who took gender studies and hates mayonnaise- aaah. [Laughs] ‘But for the most part, today’s youth would sooner get their news from an actual newspaper… than ingest mayo-’ [Wheezes] what the fuck does that mean??” [Continues wheezing and laughing, and then the video ends]
