I don’t expect A&E to spend time actually dealing with the most problematic stuff in their show when they could be pulling new shinies out of the toybox instead
I’m not even sure A and E realize that there ARE problematic issues in their show. The class issue @Nevermore raises is a good stepping off point. For A and E, having large swaths of their villains come from the lower class is just their pattern. I don’t honestly think A and E are trying to say something about up and comers but A and E write in terms of checklists.
–lower class? check
–orphan/missing one parent? check
–trouble with love in the past? check
In order to be a villain you have to met a minimum of two of those. If you don’t then A and E will add some “twist” to ensure that you do.
And that might be the larger issue, at least for me….not what the show is saying but how the show runners do not recognize that their show is saying these things.
(same applies to non heterosexual love stories, rape, misogyny, and rape culture)
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"One of my all time favorite shows. I cried when I heard the news
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Live+SD ratings for episode 504 “The Broken Kingdom”
Viewers: 4.92 million
Demo: 1.6
No change in the demo, only a slight uptick in overall eyeballs.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m pretty sure Eddy & Adam said at NYCC that it was the dark curse. They said that someone’s heart was used – which is what is needed for the dark curse. However I personally don’t think it was Emma that cast it.
After 504, I really agree. I think Arthur used Guinevere to cast the curse and had her use Lance’s heart.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"ok I haven’t had enough coffee to properly deal with Slurpeez gif set because frankly it hurts.
(but side note y’all. I’m being lax but some of those gifs ARE spoilers….)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"to the cliche horse ride/adrenaline blah blah, to the roses. Ugh!!! The stupid fake field of roses (have those people ever seen how roses grow? Hint, they aren’t tulips.)
So many Harlequin Romance moments this past week. I mean, the pirate and the virgin princess go for a horse ride and then kiss in a field of roses (that are growing so strangely). Good god, it was like the cover of a really cheesy and poorly written romance novel.
Hm. Cheesy and poorly written. Yup. That’s CS
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I haven’t shared stuff in awhile, but here are some things I’ve finished lately.
The Creepy Skulls Hat. Done in Lion Brand Baby Print Yarn in “Circus Print”
The Punk Typhoon hat. Done in Purl Essence Pastel Pink and Red Heart Super Saver Black
The Vine Scarf. Done in Deborah Norville Garden Serenity Yarn in Spring Fling
Divine Oranges Hat. Done in Fiber Optics Yarn in Vitamin C. This yarn I got at a fiber festival. It’s a 100% superwash Merino. And no, you don’t want to know how much it cost me.
Crocodile Stitch Pillow. Done in Purl Essence Seafoam, Yellow, and Pastel Pink
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m glad Henry’s getting some screen time finally though. I’ve missed his being central to the story so much.
Well, yes. Same. But I wish it wasn’t for the purpose of furthering a romantic interest. Why can’t he hang out with Emma for the sake of EMMA, not because of another girl?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"The town isn’t that big! (but we have trains)
