Tolerance and Substitution

Oct 31, 2013 20:05

I promised you all 12 hours. But I slightly lied because I found out that transferring stuff from Google docs over to LJ html makes for some fucked up html. I had to clean that shit up otherwise this post would look like crap. Oh - and I forgot to mention yesterday - I watched a whole 10 minutes of True Blood Season 6 this year. By God, what I saw ( Read more... )

what the fuck is this shit, twoeys - weres 'n' shifters, so many dead and gone, yep - dead as a doornail, tb - the other white meat, pam - best vampire ever, run like the wind sookie!, love isn't brains it's blood, sookie stackhouse - 28, travails of the svm fandom, that's not what i read at all, ch & svm is not so amateur, small town wedding fiasco, intolerance and bigotry, vampire politics = drama, vamps=dangerous liaisons, anon is moderated on this, always vampires first, eric northman the lover, happily ever afters 'n' such, omg omg dead ever after!, i thinked about svm today

So late to the party, but I have been swamped this past week and only managed to read this entry (and all of the comments that deserve an entry of their own!) over three or four goes. God I was so sick of the endless inane ranting and general obliviousness of this fandom! I missed you and this LJ and I wish you had no life so you could post all the time. Sigh... ;P ( ... )

:D I would if I could. At the moment, I'm stealing a bit of time out of my day to reply. The last two days have been insane.

She did say it herself. Here you go - Ctrl +F for "gay" As she says herself in this interview, it's more abstract, which is how I see it as well.

Holy crap! I didn't know about Bobo! YAY! Man, I loved him. :D Yay Manfred goes without saying. :D

I agree that it's not a perfect metaphor and you can't apply it to all of Sookie's life - it just gets too twisty and difficult. It's interesting to pull out aspects - like Eric's adherence to the marriage contract signed by his maker making you question at what point you'd stop dating someone whose cultural beliefs ran so completely counter to the freedoms you believed everyone should enjoy - but trying to tie up all of Sookie's romantic relationships into whether or not she supports other cultures or LGBT people is just hopeless ( ... )
