Actually I Do Think You're Automatically A Misogynist If You Defend Men Like Johnny Depp, Justin Baldoni,

I am reading this fascinating paper 'Education and Aristocratic Childhood in Late Imperial Russia' by Zbyněk Vydra, and came across this paragraph that I think sums up what makes the former Russian Empire so interesting:

It is also impossible to deal with the nobility as a whole. The simple reason being that the hereditary nobility in Russia was very heterogeneous and numerous. At the end of the 19th century, there were about 1.2 million people, i.e. around 200,000 families. Within one estate (soslovie) it stretched from close proximity to the imperial throne, the world of the St. Petersburg and Moscow palaces, through the bureaucratic nobility in sleepy provincial towns, to impoverished nobles eking out a living at the level of wealthier peasants in the remote countryside. We are mainly interested in the part of the nobility situated at the highest level ‒ the aristocracy.

It is impossible to reference the nobility in this setting as a shorthand for one form of life. When using it as inspiration in a fantasy setting, like Bardugo does, there is an opportunity for a rich variety of people who set themselves apart from the peasantry. It brings in questions of origin and history, rather than wealth and power, and it can hint at changing fortunes and societal landslides.

I was so confused when Mal just came back one ep later 100% fine

instead of kazs/crows backstories being super rushed and getting way too much focus i would have rather seen:

fedyor and ivan

alina shu heritage

actual politics

stormhond

more darkling

white haired alina

worldbuilding

what happened to mal when he was taken to court-martial?

religious tolya and tamar

slower pacing (in general)

better understanding of what happens when...

feel free to add

Is it petty? Yes it is but a really hate that a series about "Greek Gods and mythology" would choose to use a story written by a Roman who wrote so he could defame the two greek gods.

In the actual greek myth Medusa and her sisters were born that way and i really don't see why changed from the original (or why from all of the tales to use choose the roman one)

Medusa was always a symbol of protection already and i really don't see a need to try to paint her as a survivor of abuse bc now you have a bunch of people misinterpreting what her myth was actually supposed to be and now they will have to change or at least expand more on Sally's relantionship with Poseidon and they will have to choose between putting her in two abusive situations or just ignore "Medua's story" (what will make it worse in my opinion)

I know its kinda of weird but i love when Jack acts and rebember us he was a rich kid

you guys need to stop letting your hatred (or love for that matter) of certain media/celebrities/whatever get in the way of your ability to feel compassion, empathy and sympathy.

sorry but celebrity culture and some of you guy's hatred for it have made some of you get way too comfortable with bullying, encouragement of violence and other unacceptable actions.

I tougth Teen's/Billy's amulet was his spells book. During the first trial they make a point of showing wich one of the coven members checking their amulets are still with them.

Or the amulets were with them because they never took it of before the trial? Did he lost the book forever? The girls kept their amulets but not him because his fell when the brooms turned upside down? What is the point of the amulets?

I just noticed Lilia is the only witch who actually called them a Coven. "I needed you, my coven"

And in the next episode Billy calls Agatha nothing but a covenless witch (and she doesn’t actually denies this).

Agatha/Agnes didn't exist in westview before the Hex. No one living there knew who she was.

For the people living in westview Agnes is just some Lady who had the biggest bad luck to move in into a new town at the same moment that a crazy woman decided to process her grief by making everyone live in sitcom land.

The only thing they know about her is that she tried to figth Wanda and in their eyes she lost and was put into another spell/ lost her mind helping free them.

No one in westview really knew Agatha but they all took care of her for 3 years anyway. And that shows how much heartwarming and welcoming westview is as a town.

Vision had really chosen a good place to raise a family and grow old together.

I am incapable of seeing a couple posting selfies kissing and not finding it cringe

Some parents really need to understand that you don't need to have millions of followers to overespose their kids

Because why do i need to know that the son of this random woman who show up on my FYP have not poopped in over a week?
