It's that time again ...
It must be “Attractive, Young, Cisgendered People are Indelibly Virtuous” week in fandom.
Wait. That’s every week. Nevermind.

fuckno-asoiaffandom is a compilation tumblr - all of the worst, most myopic, most reductive, most absurd opinions can be found here and are not the opinions of the tumblr owner*.

This right here is what’s wrong with this fandom.
Seriously, creating an entire Tumblr that’s pretty much centered around snarking on people who don’t like...

Sometimes, I follow the ASoIaF tag

For the sake of my blood pressure ...
The Game of Thrones and ASoIaf tags are so much more pleasant to peruse now that I’ve blocked all the Cersei apologists and SanSan shippers.
Not seen a lot of Cat hate around lately, either, but that may be in the Jon Snow tag or something. And, well, there be fangirls. So. No.
Frankly, the Theon apologists sort of wig me out, too, but I definitely give them credit for knowing...

Primeval Cast Eye Colour
anybeautifulmen:
Question: Has anyone realised the eye colour within the Primeval cast? They all have blue/green or brown eyes its scary…
Actually, Ben Mansfield has hazel eyes. But beyond that … what other color would you expect?

Jay is a bird: ASOIAF and LADIES [spoiler warning... →
eigenjay:
BLANKET WARNING for spoilers over the whole series (behind a cut b/c of that). Though I haven’t actually read ADWD so spoilers for that will be pretty nonspecific.
I can’t seem to get the cut to work, sorry. :/ Will fiddle with it later.
So two of things that I am really frustrated about…
Just curious: Can you name five of his male characters who haven’t been beaten...

One other thing
eigenjay:
I’m really tired of people giving GRRM kudos for including gay characters, because he ain’t doing so hot on that count. When a significant number of people don’t catch on that your queer male characters are into dudes, and all your instances of f/f sexuality are fanservice-y and male gaze-y?
Nope. You’re not doing it right. Try harder.
FWIW, remember that the first book published in...

Things I want but probably won't get part #2542395
Wish I knew a really good artist who’d be willing to make me some A/B/C stuff. Wouldn’t even have to be as porny as my fics. Just some nice, romantic trio scenes.
Sigh …
Fortunately, I at least have some good canon moments to make me happy. :)

Great piece at the link.
My own thoughts on this (echoing some of the Primeval discussion I had a couple of weeks ago.)

Primeval fans, haaaaaalp!
hyaluronic:
So I have just finished Season 3 of Primeval and apparently Netflix is against my sudden obsession with the show and I neeed to see the next season. Does anyone know where I can download or watch a stream of Season 4?
If you’d like to watch it legally, and in a way that helps TPTB know people are watching the show, Amazon instant video and iTunes both have it.

I am so tickled about this! I remember ages ago, Dom was on some talk show or other, and mentioned how much he’d love to do a show like this. Yay that he’s finally getting to.

Unseen University: A Song of Bullshit and Facepalm →
azorahai:
I just honestly think that everyone needs to take a deep breath and step back and realize several things.
It’s ok for people to get offended by other people’s opinions
It’s ok for people to call people out on gross opinions (i.e. misogynistic)
It’s ok for people to dislike certain characters…
Werd. All of this.
The thing that makes me avoid getting into this fandom proper...

The new trailer for The Truth About Stanley
Amazing how someone so cute and sweet can look so menacing when he wants to.

Yeah, this is pretty much my face all the time rn
Especially with all the anti-feminist girls and women I’ve been seeing lately.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you? Do you think you live in some magical bubble so if you deny rights to other women, your own will never be affected? Do you really think you’re enough of a pretty, pretty princess that you’ll find the perfect man to take care of you forevah, and never have...

Welcome new followers!
What with that Planned Parenthood poster I made getting something like 5 gazillion reblogs, I seem to be picking folks up.
Hai!
Fair warning: I mostly just reblog/babble verbosely about nerdy TV shows and the attractive, charming people who appear on and make them.

On me starting the fourth season of Primeval...
Me: So, they've been stuck in the past for a year?
I love that Abby's hair is apparently self bleaching.
Or is Peroxide available in the Cretaceous period?
Jessica: Magic dinosaur bleach. 'Cause you know dinosaurs were all over bleaching their hair.
White hair was all the rage in the Cretaceous period.
I mean, can you think of anything sexier than a bleach blonde triceratops?
Didn't think so.
Me:
Me: You're awesome.

So, about Lost Girl
I guess this has been airing elsewhere for a long time (it has 35 eps already!) but we’re only now getting it in the US. Am only 4 episodes in, so bear in mind my limited amount of stuff to look at (and no spoilers, please!)
This show? Is messing with my feminist sensibilities liek whoa.
OK, so first off, there are some very big pros:
-Female lead with a female sidekick. This pretty much...

Primeval: New World
polarisprogramming:
Across the pond, Primeval is currently in limbo, but SPACE has a new spin-off that takes place in Vancouver, with an all-Canadian cast. What do you think of this idea? Can it be done? Is it still Primeval? What do the Canadian-specific aspects of the show do to help or hinder the concept?
Personally, I’m looking forward to it.
Canon through the tie-in novels...

Deja Bloom
Kit Harington is turning into Orlando Bloom before our very eyes.
I dearly hope his management team doesn’t make the same mistakes with his career that Orli’s did. Overexposure is a killer.

I’ve just picked up a copy of A Game of Thrones, because I see so many people online who love the series, but I’m a bit hesitant to actually start reading. I’m seeing a lot of stuff involving rape, and I’m worried that the lady characters may not be treated with much respect? Just wanted to know…
TBH, it’s a brutal, violent, raw story. Everyone suffers in some pretty...

Finn Jones podcast interview →
wicnet:
This is really enjoyable and worth a listen. The interview’s quite long, and Finn (aka Loras Tyrell) discuss last season and teases S2. He does mention a few things (such as a badass-sounding fight) that could be considered spoilerish, so beware.
I love the discussion though. There is discussion of the infamous shaving scene, and the suggestion of having a followup shaving scene with...

So, I have my DVD for A Passionate Woman
Trying to decide whether I make a few HQ screencaps. I made a ton of low-q ones when it first aired, but … hmmm.
Oh. Nvmd. This is really crappy quality. Poo.

this is worth every second of watch.
Outstanding. And, like Jasika says, watch the whole thing.
I can’t speak on the specific race issues involved, being a clueless white person, but I can definitely relate on other angles. For instance, the exact same thing happens WRT GLBT characters.
Some in the community have got it into their heads that any portrayal of an...

If you want to lose your faith in humanity, have a look through the comments on this promo pic. The “she deserves what’s coming to her” mentality is so vile that I don’t know what to do with myself.
Sansa is (early on) a vain, willfully ignorant dipshit. But she got her punishment for that already (several times over, IMHO.)
Horrified that anyone would think she deserves any...

And speaking of Renly's bedroom antics...
I’m very interested to see how they handle his relationship with Margaery—whether they’re going to go with the girl cooties route or actually make him bi, which seems to be the case for him in (third-hand-description) canon. He’s clearly in love with Loras, and it would anger me if they downplayed that in any way, but I’d be tickled if they at least showed him...
