Sometimes writing is like having an enormous lake in your head, and you want to get it out of your head and into a proper place for a lake so other people can come and go swimming and ride jet skis and stuff, except all you have to move the lake is a teaspoon. So you’re just sitting there frantically flinging water out of the lake with your teaspoon and telling people, “Guys, this lake is going to be so cool when it’s done,” but it will never be done. There is so much lake.
“The director of the first film, Andrew Adamson, was very focused on preserving real emotion, on seeing things for the first time, and having, like, a real sense of wonder.“
“So he didn’t actually show me the set of Narnia where the lamppost is until we shot it. I was blindfolded and guided into my place, and he told me to just walk around, that the camera would follow me.”
“And so I turned around and I saw it for the first time. It was in a studio but it was ri-dic-ul-ous-ly real. I couldn’t get my head around it. And so what you see is my real reaction to everything. It was incredible.”

i dunno if there’s a lookism fandom on tumblr but that one dude in charge of hostel 2.0? the awful human being??? olly wang (i had to look it up). yeah his backstory was sad, yeah his life sucked. i can sympathize with that
but i cannot take people literally saying like, aww poor dude, he just had a bunch of bad stuff happen to him,,,, so sadd,,, he deserved better :((((
like he was a kid, and the oppressive environment he grew up in etc was awful. no denying that.
HOWEVER he did so much bad shit. he weaponized children, and sold them!!! stop saying poor babby :(((( that genuinely upsets me. i know it’s just fiction, but it makes me so mad. Just because he had a rough life doesn’t mean he’s a poor babbbeyyy uwu. It doesn’t justify all of the truly awful shit he did.
i know this is really late and everything, and there might have been people who said this already, but i caught up after not reading it for a while and the top comments (that i just happened to see on webtoon when i read it) all said stuff like this and it upset me. I’m not attacking anyone, this is my opinion.
It’s my opinion that it’s possible to feel bad for all the stuff that happened in his childhood without downplaying all the bad stuff he did. It’s a complex narrative, we can have complex feelings about it. I don’t think it should be simplified down to, he had no other choice bc his childhood was so bad :((
Like i said, this isn’t attacking anyone. I know my words were harsh (this is a rant post lol and i wanted to get this off my chest), but i genuinely don’t mean to offend anyone, or downplay anyone’s feelings on this. i’m pretty sure no one was justifying his actions when they said this stuff, but i do think it downplays the awful things he did and oversimplifies the situation. these just my feelings toward the situation, and like i said, i wanted to get them off my chest
i’m dead i am officially dead i am no longer of the living this is too much they both posted my pine tree i cant
