Armand gives Milady something she's wanted her entire life.

Stede’s all “Look at my adorable Babygirl being all wanted, so adorable, so proud.”

Say whatever you want about Zack Snyder, like his work or don’t, but the man is known to always *always* try to cultivate a positive environment on his sets. He’s friendly with his actors, friendly with his crew, isn’t afraid to listen to them and hear their ideas. He’s a genuinely kind person. I mean, there’s a reason so many people LOVE working with him.

And for the past *seven years* he’s been trashed to hell and back because he dared to make a Superman movie some people didn’t like. His family went through the worst kind of tragedy and not only did the bloggers and detractors celebrate it, but they also mocked his attempts to get his true vision of Justice League released after the studios slapped his name on a product that wasn’t even his. Can you imagine being so full of hatred that you have no problem slandering a man’s name if it means him not getting his hands on your favorite fictional characters and then having the NERVE to complain about “tOxIcItY” because he fought for his movie and won?

And now, surprise, surprise, people are finally coming out to talk more openly about the nightmare that was the Justice League production under Whedon’s direction. The man came in as the unwanted director no one wished to work with and instead of being respectful of the situation and trying his best to preserve the work that had been done prior to his arrival, Whedon openly trash talked the director whose movie he was about to destroy and treated everyone on sets like shit. And y'all so desperate to cling onto some delusional and twisted narrative about Snyder that you’re willing to call everyone and their mothers liars instead of admitting that maybe, just *maybe* you could have been wrong.

Amy Adams didn’t even attend the premiere. Ray Fisher was accused of “cloud chasing” for speaking up. Gal and Ezra downright refused to shoot some scenes for Joss. Jason Momoa has always supported Zack. Ben Affleck left because he didn’t want to go through another production from hell and wasn’t in the right state of mind to defend his movie. Henry Cavill had his face literally butchered for the world to see. Junkie XL’s score was thrown to the trash to make place for nostalgia. Etc. Etc. ETC.

Zack Snyder and his cast and crew didn’t deserve this. Fuck you all so much for pretending for so long that they did.

FUCK YOU DISNEY

Anyways, y’all better start saving your fave fanfics and fanart under the Disney labels cause it looks like they’re trying to curb fair use/fanworks and I’m sure there’s going to be mass panicked deletions even though it’s probably unnecessary cause AO3′s legal team will fight for us.

Academically speaking, I still find the whole “anti-shipper” movement to be fascinating from a sociological perspective.

You have what amounts to a extremist purity cult whose beliefs align nearly precisely with those of Conservative American Christianity in terms of sexual purity politics (admittedly with some additional flourishes that I’ve watched develop in real time), but is mostly composed of minority members whose sexual-and-gender identities are opposed and oppressed by Conservative American Christianity.  Additionally, their tactics also mirror religious pro-censorship groups (such as Warriors For Innocence), but their rhetoric is entirely secularized and derived from leftist theory.

Did they arrive at this structure via convergent evolution?  Via socially dominant concepts in the greater socio-cultural space that they occupy?  I doubt it was by direct emulation but the possibility does exist on some levels.

So, I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. Not many, but a few. And I’ve also been in a couple of cars that got pulled over. And let me tell you, if you were actually doing something wrong, the officer doesn’t make any small talk, just straight into “I clocked you doing 70 in a 55.” The only time I’ve ever gotten the “do you know why I pulled you over?” was the time when I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I got let go even though he insisted to the end that I was doing 87 in a 70 (white privilege at work).

“Do you know why I pulled you over?” is a trap. It means there’s a good chance the officer doesn’t actually have a good reason to ticket you, and is trying to get you to waive your 5th Amendment rights and incriminate yourself. If you make a guess, that’s a confession of guilt.

But there’s another trap, that I’ve heard of but haven’t yet experienced. It’s “do you know how fast you were going?” With that one, they’re hoping you’ll say no, because then they can name whatever speed they want – you just said you didn’t know how fast you were going, if you deny the speed they name then you’re lying to them.
