hi

tyson's actor has been announced

thoughts on that? i remember you talking about tyson's down syndrome coding and the way there's a big chance of being portrayed in an ableist way

I already talked about my main thoughts on Tyson's casting [here] but in summary - yeah, no, confidence is not inspired right now. I had mentioned before that if they didn't cast an actor with down syndrome for Tyson I cannot see it going well no matter what, and given how s1 handled disability themes (aka erasing the majority of references to adhd/dyslexia and other disabilities, turning Sally into an autism speaks mom, etc) I doubt they're going to reference Tyson's down syndrome coding at all, which is disappointing on multiple levels.

A.) His entire character and the arcs relating to his character, particularly his relationship with Percy and Percy's character development in SoM are ALL surrounding Tyson having down syndrome and themes of grappling with ableism. SoM is supposed to be where we solidly establish Percy as a character who stands up for other marginalized kids, particularly other disabled kids, and if you remove Tyson's down syndrome then that entire aspect of the story goes up in smoke - which is a problem because disability themes are central and core to the entire series. You can't remove them without ruining the basis of the entire plot, because it's disability metaphors all the way down. If by some miracle they do try to keep his disability coding, the casting right now at all levels point to it turning out horribly - firstly they've cast an abled actor to play a disabled character - not cool! Especially given down syndrome is not usually an invisible disability - like I give leeway to adhd/dyslexic casting because it really doesn't affect anything at all. It'd be nice but ultimately nothing is different really - But something like this is significantly more important. Secondly, because we know from the casting call that they're keeping the "Tyson is 'actually' a little kid" (< actually part of his down syndrome coding - it's an outdated medical concept from the 2000s which is very ableist so already not looking great that they kept that) them casting a nearly 30 year old for a character who is supposed to be in Percy's grade (Percy being 13) just sounds like a horrible set-up for a very ableist portrayal.

B.) Based on how s1 went, recent books in the franchise, and this casting, the more likely route is they're going to erase Tyson's disability coding entirely and likely replace it with Tyson being a "himbo" character. I was talking with the TA server about this and apparently according to some of them Daniel Diemer in The Half Of It very much gave off the vibe that with his Tyson casting they're going to go the "himbo" route. Which would make sense given in like TOA, TSATS, and CoTG it seems like Rick learned what a "himbo" is and has been trying to shoehorn that character archetype into everything. Also in recent books Rick has just completely started erasing or ignoring disability themes, including applying ableist tropes to characters instead (Percy being a goofy lazy idiot who dislikes school, Nico being infantilized, Annabeth's disabilities basically being entirely erased, etc etc). Suffice to say it's not looking good I'm not happy about it! :T

Like, in all, I'm sure Daniel Diemer is a great actor. I'm not accusing him of being ableist or anything. (Now, Disney? maybe.) But I am really disappointed in this casting and there is literally no way Disney can justify it. Like, what, "he's tall and Tyson is supposed to be tall?" Character height has literally never been a factor for any other casting and it absolutely is not relevant at all for Tyson. The majority of casting so far has been blind casting (save for age for the most part) - why is it suddenly so important now for Tyson's height of all things? When there are SIGNIFICANTLY more important aspects of his character to be casting for? So far it seems the only casting they've actually paid attention to disability with is Hephaestus with Timothy Omundson, which is nice, but one out of A Lot is not great given this is the disability series! We really should not be getting this many abled actors playing disabled characters (and DEFINITELY not be getting this much erasure of disabled and disable-coded characters - Grover's muscular disease, lack of references to adhd/dyslexia, erasure of Percy's PTSD, etc. Chiron's disability being brought from coding to explicit is nice, but they couldn't be bothered to actually cast a disabled actor for it too? Honestly I wouldn't even mind some of the abled casting as much if they actually bothered to acknowledge the disability themes at all!). And this is a trend so far because Disney has also completely neglected casting plus-sized actors for plus-sized characters in the series (INCLUDING TYSON). It generally just reeks of Disney being afraid to cast anybody but able-bodied skinny actors as much as possible, or at the very least being completely unwilling to touch upon the disability themes of the series - which is stupid, given it's the entire basis of the series.

tl;dr: I have exactly zero faith in s2.

everyone commenting how archie should save shadow and bone when he starts his new production company is so insane to me. you mean bring back the fandom that was so hateful and racist to him, bullied him off his social media at one point, insulted his daughter, repeatedly hated on his character to his face, and purposefully left his character out of ensemble gifts/fanarts/fandom things. yeah fuck off. he owes that show fucking nothing and i’m so glad he’s starting to have the success he has now outside of that hateful fandom.

Is it just me or are the new tumblr users convinced there's a penalty of some kind for using this site like it's meant to be used?

happy ides of March

it is so wild to me the fashions that are called “emo” today. especially given the fact that probably 80-90% of it is actually scene, not emo. this would have started full on wars 15 years ago

we passed a sign in boring that said their sister city is dull, scotland

Calling a canon bisexual woman a lesbian becuase she has a female love interest or is in a wlw relationship is bisexual erasure and biphobic!!!!

the ending of ruin & rising is staggeringly staggeringly good. it is the only conclusion that could ever happen from the story leigh was trying to tell. and if you don’t see that, if you still believe there was an ending which didn’t result in alina losing her powers, then we read entirely different books.

the whole central theme of the trilogy is that of power corruption, and how even if it is sought after with good intention, “absolute power corrupts absolutely”. no grisha is meant to have more than one amplifier. it is a level of power a human cannot withstand. by seeking out a third amplifier, alina has so so much power that it’s completely unbearable. she describes herself like an exploding sun. it has bent the laws and rules of the world, and so to balance itself out again, that power leaves alina and redistributes itself amongst hundreds of others. this is also why alina was always going to end up with mal, there was never any debate there, because he is the only person who actually challenges her on whether she should be seeking out this level of power and twisting the laws of reality in quite the way she does

alina keeping hold of that much power would not be a badass ‘girlboss’ moment. the whole point leigh is making is that all actions have consequences, and a price has to be paid for that level of power. it isn’t misogynistic for alina to lose her powers. it’s realistic. it is the only possible conclusion to the story leigh has been telling all along, and the only way you can’t see that is if you have been playing a self-insert game with alina instead of actually grasping the story leigh is telling. alina’s story is a line between wanting that power, and wanting the peaceful life of love and calm. but the more she seeks the amplifiers, the more it eats away at her mind, the more she has to anchor herself time and time again to remember who she truly is, and the culmination of all of this is she loses her powers. having our heroes pay real prices for actions they make, and facing consequences, is not being misogynistic and it’s not being ‘against power’. it’s about reality, it’s about balance. the introduction of merzost by leigh should be an obvious sign of this point she is making, that power corrupts! power is not necessarily bad, but becoming entirely power hungry does corrupt you, and there are very real consequences for it.

and at the end of the story… alina is happy. she ends the trilogy happy. it is bittersweet. but she has the life she actually wanted all along. and it’s also important to bear in mind that mal’s ending is just as bittersweet. he too has the life he wanted all along, with alina. but, like alina, he has lost his powers too - and arguably for mal, this is even worse, because he has had these tracking abilities for his whole life. both of them paid the price for in alina’s case taking more power than one person can physically have, and in mal’s case enabling that power to be taken. once again, that theme of ‘everything has a cost’ comes back - just as power can be sought, but it has a cost, so alina and mal have the life they wanted and chose. but that too came at a cost.

if your complaint of the ending of ruin & rising is that you think it’s sad alina lost her powers (which, same! we all do! it doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense for her to lose them) and that she should have kept her powers and ended up alone, then we read entirely different books and you self-inserted too much. the framing of the grisha trilogy is crystal clear. it is a story of power and power corruption, framed by the unbreakable love between alina and mal. that is the story leigh bardugo told. if you didn’t see it that way, that’s on you.

Okay! I don’t care how much hate I get for this
