Man oh man are some people resistant to the idea that things in literature can be intentional metaphors for other things. It’s like that “the curtains were blue” meme that gets passed around, and that inevitably spurs people to share anecdotes about the “ridiculous interpretations” they’ve heard in English class.

You know, honestly, Wide Sargasso Sea never really sat right with me. It feels like vandalism. Certainly it’s much more like vandalism than Marauder slash fiction.

While this is all a very good point, the way your post is written, I can’t help but think of this:

I watched Superman: The Movie for the first time ever about a month ago, and I gotta say, I thought it was a mess. Christopher Reeve is great in it and I think that’s what the whole movie is coasting on.

I finished watching The Magicians S1 on Netflix.

Cat eating is a deal breaker because, to me, it makes him seem more bestial and therefore less capable of consent.

Just because they’re giants doesn’t mean they have giant genitals. Gorillas have like 1-inch dicks and they’re bigger than us. Maybe they’re compatible.

Is it really likely that Halley would NEVER see her daughter again after her first encounter with CPS?

I thought Luke gave up on using the Force so that Kylo Ren couldn’t use the Force to find him.

Harry Potter and the WELL ACTUALLY

John Freeman said “Zombie goasts leave this place” and the zombie goasts said “but this is our house” and John Freeman felt sorry for them becaus they couldnt live there anymore because they were zombie goasts so he blew up the house and killed the zombie goasts so they were at piece.

Then John Freeman herd another…

These are the same people who complain all the time that the SJW thought police can’t take a joke.

I actually really like it. This is probably the first Trump family-involved thing that I’ve liked.

I used to follow the NYT on Facebook.

That’s one of the reasons it’s stupid.

I like that song, but it always did bother me how the newborn baby Jesus is described as “shivering in the cold”, which newborn babies do not do.

“I Know What Boys Like” is literally the worst song ever recorded in human history and I can’t believe The Waitresses were ever allowed to make music ever again.

“And there won’t be snow in Africa this Christmastime” is a line that impresses me for managing to be so stupid in so many ways. So much stupid, compressed into so few words. It’s breathtaking.

Have you heard Justin Bieber’s incomparable version?

He’s like Santa, except he comes in, not through the chimney, but through the back door. Also, he comes in, not on Christmas Eve night, at the break of day, when the husbands are away at work and the wives are alone. Also, he comes every day of the year, not just Christmas. Come to think of it, he doesn’t have much in…
