About This Blog
This is a personal blog. It's one part personal stuff, one part media that I'm into, and one part sociopolitical issues I care about.
Things on my mind lately include Battlestar Galactica, the fate of River Song, the challenges of traveling solo as a woman, and how to transcend misogynistic narratives in traditional Appalachian music.
Stuff I typically blog:
→ politics (American and international)
→ international relations
→ social justice (especially intersectional feminism)
→ language & linguistics
→ the Balkans
→ Palestine
→ gymnastics → personal stuff
→ Alison Krauss
→ fandom
This blog doubles as an Alison Krauss' boobs appreciation blog because for some reason, when you do a Google search for Alison's boobs, my blog is generally the first relevant result. I don't know how this happened, but I will accept it. If people are gonna be googling her boobs, better they find the blog of a fangirl expressing solidarity than that of some skeezy dude objectifying her.
If I ever disappear or get hacked, find me at iellaantilles.tumblr.com.
I don’t think I can watch the end of this Doctor/River scene in the finale
I just
oh god
I don’t want to watch him say goodbye to her for real
JAIME MURRAY, HOW ARE YOU IN THE DEFIANCE PILOT RIGHT NOW
HOW ARE YOU IN EVERYTHING YOU GODDESS YOU
Valentine actor on tonight’s episode of Castle.
I remember every actor who was ever on the tiny baby show of my heart and I love when they show up on other things.
K Scarlett, Gunnar is dangerous in this state. This is the part where you tell him to get the hell out of your house.
“I’m in love with you! That’s why I’m shaming you for sleeping with a congressman to get ahead!”
Y’know, I’m starting to think nobody in television knows how to write a May-December relationship that doesn’t devolve into cliche.
Frank and Zoe had this interesting, prickly relationship where they both basically got off on using each other to gain power. Then Zoe gets scared and breaks it off, and he’s hurt so he basically blackmails her into continuing to fuck him, and that was also interesting.
But then… she suddenly gets weirdly jealous of his wife? Then he breaks things off because she’s being so erratic, and she’s weirdly upset about it even though it was her idea to break things off in the first place? And so she suddenly develops feelings for a guy her own age because he makes her feel ~safe after all she’s been through, and together they start plotting against Frank???
Dude, not every young girl who sleeps with an older man eventually develops weird issues about his age and his wife and has her world torn apart by the experience. And for god’s sake, most of us will never, ever fall into bed with the Nice Guy who wandered up to our apartment drunk one night and confessed his love and kissed us without asking, no matter what kind of asshole we just got out of a relationship with.
Just, man, every time there’s an age-gap relationship on TV I keep my fingers crossed that it won’t end in some cliched way and it always fucking does.
Well pooh.
Claire ruined everything and Frank and Zoe aren’t in love anymore.
I don’t want to keep watching now.
Oh God, Frank Underwood gives me such Southern feels.
Him and his buddies singing Oh Shenandoah. I am LOSING IT.
It’s depressing to think that if House of Cards were a movie it’d be rated NC-17 because of that cunnilingus scene.
