The Lizzie Bennet Diaries Ep. 15 “Lizzie Bennet is in Denial” (x)
This may be my favorite animated gif photoset we’ve had for the show thus far. So funny.
Watch the full episode here. Episode 15
Can I express how well thought out this webseries is? It oozes with style and personality.

The Legend of Korra is simply the best show on TV right now. No one can convince me otherwise.
I literally yell at the screen during pro bending matches and get upset at refs. The fictional cartoon refs.

Can I express how amazing this episode of Community was? The class bits were the absolute greatest.

Starship has been known to be called The Little Mermaid meets Starship Troopers with a bit of Alien mixed in. While it is this, I’d love to focus on the “Little Mermaid” portion of the story. I’m going to say it right now, Bug is a freaking naive character with a sense of crazy idealism that I envy. He’s a creature that’s so caught up in nonconforming to his society, he doesn’t necessarily realize what path this nonconformism leads him down.
Bug is naive because he doesn’t understand the true workings of his society and human society, but that doesn’t make him a simple character. Sure, he has a single goal and will do any means to get to that goal, but as the above scene shows, he is a freaking relateable and emotional character. What I love about Starship is how Bug has to overcome such strenuous and unbelieveable obstacles because he didn’t understand the consequences of what he wants.
Sure, you could argue that none of this stuff was meant to be there, but contrasting with the Little Mermaid, the society that the bugs live in isn’t BAD at all. It’s a society that believes in working for the greater good, even if it means sacrificing the needs of a single person. In human eyes, that may not bode well, but it’s better than the merfolk’s xenophobia.
What’s great about “Life” is how it shows Bug as an actual character, and it’s pretty much the moment when I realized that Bug was an actual character, instead of a puppet controlled by Joey Richter. I didn’t like it at first, but with each viewing, it makes me understand the complexity of Bug’s frustration with his own society and his dreams. Darren Criss did a fucking fine job with this one, as with the rest of the songs in this show. Darren Criss is probably the reason I see Bug as such an interesting character in a pretty cartoonish world.
Shame that reprise never got onto the soundtrack.
I think I make it pretty clear in my video today that I don’t understand why we’re even talking about this. I don’t understand the arguments of people who oppose gay marriage, and I’m usually pretty good at understanding people’s viewpoints.
The arguments are so silly and uninteresting that it’s hard to argue that there isn’t a deeper place where all of this is coming from. I think, in my quest, I’ve found some understanding that allows me a little bit of peace.
The world is complicated, and we like to think that we have tools with which to understand it. But it’s difficult to imagine understanding a world with no foundations. To a lot of people, I think, gender and sexual orientation are a big pillar of support for their understanding of the world.
I have mine, science, belief in the fundamental goodness of people, love of family, etc.
Other people have God and tradition and loyalty.
And so when I say something like “All people who love each other should be allowed to get married.” People who use God and tradition and gender roles as fundamental supports for their understanding of the world feel as if those supports are being attacked.
When people attack my fundamental supports, I also get angry. Like when people stop teaching science in schools because they see it as an attack on Christianity…that pisses me off. A lot.
So I can understand that. But being American isn’t about protecting your pilars of belief, it’s about supporting equality and freedom.
We are not asking straight people to get married to gay people. We’re not even asking them to hang out with gay people, or agree that homosexuality is OK. They’re perfectly welcome to believe whatever they want, as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of other Americans.
Legalizing gay marriage does not infringe upon anyone’s rights, making it illegal does. It’s that simple.
Stay in school, kids.
i’m just. relaly sad.
From Wake County here. Guess how much polarizing the vote here was? ONE PERCENT DIFFERENCE. Ggghhh. ::stupidstupidstupid::

Fuck North Carolina, I’m moving to Canada.
Edit: Like, seriously. I hate this state so much.
Edit 2: What people in this state don’t understand about Amendment 1 is how it bans ALL forms of domestic partnerships, screwing with the rights of unmarried couples, whether gay or straight.
THIS IS SO GOOD. WHY IS THIS SO BEAUTIFUL.
I like to think. A lot.
