"Fiction seems to be more effective at changing beliefs than non-fiction, which is designed to persuade through argument and evidence. Studies show that when we read non-fiction, we read with our shields up. We are critical and skeptical. But when we are absorbed in a story, we drop our intellectual guard. We are moved emotionally, and this seems to make us rubbery and easy to shape."

“Why fiction is good for you” in The Boston Globe (via aaknopf)

…So fear the fiction writers, in a good way. For we know where you live… even when you don’t.

Okay can we talk about these two pages? Because I loved them so much I could holler.

I have heard that people are bugged and think it’s fanservice that a Lesbian Lady kisses Val. Seriously just… will you stop. It’s not fanservice. Look at the two ladies concerned. They are both fully dressed, there is way WAY less male gaze on this than pretty much every other f/f kiss I’ve ever seen in comics. Val’s heroic pose in the first page, then the beautiful kiss in the second? Totally would not get a second PEEP if she was a man. It’s beautiful subversion of an image that we get over and over in heterosexual narrative, and I love it.

And hell, if I’d been Annabelle I damned well would have done exactly the same thing. This is MY fantasy, not some dude’s fantasy about two hot laydeez. Thank you Cullen Bunn and Will Sliney for writing and drawing it for ME.

what Knight Commander Meredith ended up standing for was pretty despicable, but I loved her presence in the game, and unlike some in the anti-mage faction, I don’t think she was at core a despicable person

And for the majority of the game, despite our differences, she was willing to find some common ground based in common sense and mutual understanding

I also really enjoyed all the interactions between she and Orsino

They were both people of such integrity to begin with, so what ended up happening felt like a real blow

both of them having done what they did out of desperation to protect their people

though, I certainly have more sympathy for Orsino, seeing that the people who trusted and depended on him were the ones in that actual danger

but Meredith thought that those who depended on her were, and she was clearly acting out of an urge to protect, not realizing actions like hers were what would actually drive mages to be a threat

however, history is full of people who are willing to do horrible things to oppressed groups out of fear and a belief that they need to be defending their own people, so her position isn’t truly all that defensible, even if it is understandable

as if you’ve always been there and always will.

#THIS SCENE THO #I love it for many reasons #because it has Rhodey wrangling Tony after Tony tries to hijack the class #because it reminded us that they’ve been friends for forever (lol 1987) #because Rhodey was the very first person Tony wanted to tell about his change of heart #the very first he wanted to reveal Iron Man to even before it WAS Iron Man #the first person he wanted to be PART of it #and when you realize how important Iron Man is to Tony #you understand how fucking huge that really is
