thanking my lucky stars orphan black came out before the epidemic of shows being cancelled after 2 seasons at most, what would I have done if I didn’t get all five whole seasons of the clone club doing insane shit
One of my favorite things about a day of fallen night is how the mage being sent to Inys thing was started because of Tunuva’s and Esbar’s desire to protect their grandchild, which in turn led to Sabran and Ead meeting. Their love was possible thanks to another sapphic couple in another lifetime that’s so fucking sweet I’m gonna eat drywall.
just looking at and comparing the maps in priory and adofn makes me so happy. the changing of place names over time! geographical changes! political changes! the attention to detail in shannon’s worldbuilding is sooo <333
Inysh pagans praying to the Lady of the Woods to save them. But the Lady of the Woods is not paying attention to them. She’s trying to seduce a MILF. Unsuccessfully.
bonus: say in the tags how old u were in the tags + what’s your legal drinking age or, if u never drunk before, feel free to say your age too + why, if you have a reason why you don’t drink!
I think what I’m mad about the jury vote for Sweden is that the jury is meant to make it fairer. It is clear when looking at votes that some countries get an overseas demographic vote. With the televote it’s often front loaded to the most popular countries— you can see how many countries got low double digit televote scores and a few favourites scoop up the big points.
But the juries are meant to ensure more countries get varied points, but five jury members who are from composing, producing and pop star backgrounds are going to rank Sweden over Germany despite Chris’s very technical singing. They’re not big or diverse enough. So we have this situation where one country scoops up all the big points just like the televote, by a huge margin, so then what’s the point? How does this make it fairer?
Honestly if the jury scores for the top five countries were closer and the televote was different and Sweden still won I don’t think I’d be as mad or disappointed. It is how it be with the jury. But the fact that one country got so many jury 12s made it basically impossible for the public’s favourite to win, and it feels predetermined which is why people are looking to the ABBA 50th anniversary as an explanation. It probably wasn’t rigged but it feels like it was. The second highest televote score ever should be enough for a country to win but it wasn’t.
I think if they only want a small jury, then it has to be weighted down. If they want a 50/50 point split the jury has to be diversified to be more inclusive of non pop genres.
if the jury has a million haters, i am one of them. if it has ten haters, i am one of them. if it has one hater, it’s me. if it has none, i’ve been crushed by loreen’s sandwich press.
