Let the text book purge commence! For some reason I’ve always had sentimental attachment to text books even though I never looked at them again. Probably because they cost so damn much 😭 But now it’s time for them to move on! https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2VXWTncl2/?igshid=jv5m5z3w51ah
Fare Thee Well Love inducted into the Canadian Songwriting Hall of Fame today... 28 years after its release.
The Rankins were (are) about as Nova Scotian as it gets. Gaelic speaking, fiddle playing, and despite a whole lot of popularity in the 90’s always maintained a home in Cape Breton.
Oh hey look what I just drove past @boyneriver-fraser!
Dress historian analyzes ‘Historical’ film costumes
I don’t wanna get involved in the drama I just wanna know 103% of the information on what happened
First of all, subjective feelings about the books aside, the books are objectively not perfect. Second, the TV show is a TV show, the books are books. If you directly translate the books into the TV medium, it would be a very shitty, never-ending show. Thirdly, Jamie’s rape was too graphic and centered BJR and what he did over Jamie and how it affected him. Which you’d think I was agreeing with this rando about, except then she says Claire’s attack won’t be as disturbing like that’s a fucking bad thing. WTAF.
Yes, bad things happen. Yes,stories need conflict. I know these things and I’ve railed against why the show should find other ways to create conflict than just violence against women and rape. Been there, ranted about that. What strikes me about this is the fact that this person is an example of someone who, by their own admission, *wants* to see violence and rape so graphic that they can barely watch.
I’m not kinkshaming anyone. If that’s something you want to role play in a healthy and consenting relationship, you do you. And yes, I know that TV shows aren’t real. But here’s the thing, the whole point of books and TV and pretty much any form of art is to suspend your disbelief and let yourself be immersed in the world being presented to you. And in that world, the graphic violence and rape isn’t fake.
If you were dating a guy who really loved watching super violent p0rn that didn’t stress at the outset that they were consenting participants and have safe words in place, that’d be a big fucking red flag. The same holds true for women who watch a TV show, any TV show, and want it to be so graphic it’s physically uncomfortable to watch. I would never truly feel safe around a person like that. And there are many folks like that in this fandom. It’s lowkey fucking scary. And they seem to be the people the production is catering to. Which is also lowkey fucking scary.
These observations aren’t limited to just Outlander. They can be applied to pretty much any show or movie. And before folks @ me, I’m not saying that violence or rape shouldn’t exist in film or TV. I’m saying the the way in which those things are presented tells a lot about what the piece is trying to say and how they want the viewer to react. And if the reactions are “yeah, make this as brutal as possible because that’s what I want to see,” then maybe some artistic choices should be reconsidered. Because that’s fucked up.
One of my most dear friends and former co-host when I worked in morning radio interviewed his wife on air this morning after the events that transpired in Nova Scotia on the weekend.
Sue is not only a grief counsellor, she’s one of the most caring, thoughtful and genuine people I’ve ever known (even @callmeder has had the chance to experience her brilliance.) This is worth a listen.

This just doesn’t happen here, guys. My mind is blown that this could have happened in my province.
You are no lady. All you do is swear
No I’m not. I am an educated, independent WOMAN.
I can swear like a drunken sailor, male or female. Women no longer have to be “ladies”. It’s an equal opportunity society that I live in.
I fucking love swearing. It’s the best.
Psht, anon. It’s not even possible to swear all the time. Other words are needed to give the swearing more impact.
For instance, ‘you fucking cunt’ just isn’t the same without you.
