Any story claiming to be a deconstruction of fairy tales but has nothing to offer except new types of violence, more explicit sex, and a general attitude of “lol happy endings aren’t real” is like. such a cultural waste of time tbh

[ID: Digital drawing of Taako. Taako is a slim, pale elf with blond hair. He’s wearing a collared white shirt under a long, purple cardigan, tied in place by a red sash. He’s also wearing a dark skirt, tights, and dark boots, as well as a pointed purple hat. Taako is turned to the left and sitting. His arms are folded against his chest, and his legs are bent loosely. He appears to be leaning against something. His expression is sad; his brows are furrowed, and he looks down at nothing. He’s backlit by warm light. /ID]

“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.”
“Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did”
