It's been a long time coming. This was originally supposed to be ready for the release of Fifty Shades Freed back in February, but that clearly didn't happen. I know I like to try and write little mini-essays down here in the description, but I'm hard pressed to think of something to put here that isn't already in this video. It's over an hour long.

"I could feel the color of my cheeks rising again. I must be the color of the communist manifesto." - Stalin

"I was drafted. She's not well." Anastasia sounds like a soldier from WW2 being forced to go in place of her sick mother.
-
How is not completely exhausting to read a book where the narrator’s reaction to every single occurrence is “Holy craparoni!!! What in the fricking heckballs is going on????”
-
A fanfic writer calling other fanfic writers 'parasitic' is certainly something
-
if i hear the phrase "little brown-haired girls" one more time i will cringe myself off a cliff

Alternate Title: Your PhD-having uncle teaches you about smutty fanfiction
-
"I'm a sadist, Bella" hit me with the same energy as the "I'm weird. I'm a weirdo" line from Riverdale.
-
How kinks are introduced in media: "I have...a dark secret" How I got introduced: "Hey, could I tie you up?"
-
"Designated Sex Bed" is a killer name for a punk band.

But seriously, how great would it have been if Christian was like "through here is my playroom" And Ana was like "what, like your xbox?" and Christian was like "yeah" and they just played Jet Set Radio Future the rest of the movie.
-
"in a society that sees 'porn for women' as both setup and punchline" great line great video
-
that whole " 'Ana go away, Ana come back, Ana lets get coffee' " scene with Christian was genuinely funny and im mad that even after seeing like a trillion people mock this movie they never point it out
-
The 'I don't make love' line put to Edward's grimacing, agonised face is the most side-splittingly hilarious thing to come out of 50 Shades ever.
-
Well. I have now watched an hour of analysis into a movie I have never seen, a book I've never read, and fanfiction I barely knew existed. It was worth it.
-
"And you’re reticent, like your stepdad," is a truly bizarre thing to say to someone in the middle of a sex contract negotiation
-
Why is it so difficult to have Christian just say, “I like to whip people, it arouses me. It helps me get off. If you’re not comfortable with that, that’s okay. We’re just not compatible.”
-
"Snowqueens Icedragon". Somehow that explains everything.
-
I really like that when Jose gets Anna drunk to take advantage of her the story dings it as a sexual assault, but when Christian does it it's cool
-
That moment where Ana says "No!" at the end and Christian stops and makes that "oh shit" face would have led so well into a sequel in which Ana discovers her dominant side and shows Christian how a real dom behaves. Christian learns he's a sub and loves being not in control, leading him to realize how he doesn't know who he is and how much therapy he needs.

I just realised how completely insane the phrasing ‘I was drafted. She’s not well’ is. You took over an interview because your friend was sick, this seems like a line from a wartime romance novel.
