My mom's going back to university to study to become a therapist and her biopsych textbook is... interesting. It straight up states that XX chromosomes=female and XY=male, no variation or exceptions, forget about the existance of monosomy or trisomy of sex chromosomes I guess let alone AIS, Swyer syndrome or de la chappelle syndrome. Oh but wait it gets worse. It later brings up intersex variations as 'exceptions that prove the rule' of bullshit binary ideas about sex and brings up some case studies, one of which is about a woman with CAIS and then proceeds to invite a debate over if she should be told the truth and that she has CAIS. Im going to fucking rip a wall apart, at least my mom has me as the context to know that that's bullshit, but what about people that just take that at face value? People that want to go on to be psychologists or therapists? They're going to fuck any intersex patients up so bad if they think it's debatable if we should be told the truth about our intersex-ness, and not only that but think its ok to surgically 'treat' us without telling us or giving any semblance of informed consent.

I'm reminded of how I read about how one intersex woman had to break into her doctor's office to steal her medical records, because she knew something was up but even as an adult they refused to tell her. And how intersex people are far more likely to have poor physical and mental health, a good chunk of that probably attributable to the fact that shit like this happens and so we're probably more likely to avoid doctors and mental health professionals and not trust them, for pretty good reason. Some of the things I went through during diagnosis and right after and some of the things they did were traumatic and violating. But at least they fucking told me I have CAIS and gave me a say in my plan for treatment/monitoring when I pushed back. The bar is so low that despite how horrible and traumatic some of that and how I was treated was, to the point where I'm still processing certain things almost 3 years later, by other standards I got incredible care. Because at least they fucking told me. That is the bare fucking minimum. No, that's lower than the minimum, or should be, but we've been mistreated by the medical system so much that telling us we're intersex at all is a step in the direction of progress.

But people, supposedly mental health professionals and doctors, want to debate if we should be granted the basic decency of knowing.

Something I love about tfa Starscream is the multiple different ideas people have for his holoform.

He’s a distinguished gentleman with a god complex.

He’s Megatron’s business partner/secretary.

His canon scrapped holoform design has a bougie-styled robe and some people dig it.

He wears suits and has battle armor reflecting his cybertronian form.

He’s both a slut and a babygirl. Malewife and Girlboss.

He is all of it. He is inspiration. An icon. A punching bag.

We got him in three pieces, heels, and hoodies. And somehow, it’s still believable and true to his character-

Because he’s Starscream.

jake really is a phenomenal fucking character and it sucks to see him reduced down to an accessory for dirk by half the fandom

#maybe dirk should be the accessory for once #ever think about that #dirk is like a chihuahua in jake’s purse to me #moth rambles #jake english

its been making me a little sad seeing the overwhelming hate towards rks from their OWN FANS recently. especially on their instagram. seems to be a completely foreign concept to some people that a band doesnt have to make the same thing over and over again until the end of time.

do i like their new songs as much as some of their old ones? no, but that,,, doesnt matter??? its not about me and what i like, its about them creating what they want to??? theres so many people out there that WILL love this music, they should be allowed to expand their genre and find those people

I recently watched Hot Fuzz for the first time. Loved it, of course, and now I'm slightly obsessed with it. Even if I am fifteen years late to the fandom...

One thing I've thinking about over the past few days is how the film touches on so many different genres. I'm probably not going to say anything new here (and I might not say if very well - I'm more than a little sleep deprived at the moment), but I kept noticing how well the changes in genre fit together. It was never jarring or discordant, which is something I think a lot of similar movies struggle with.

Then I had this thought that maybe it works because the genre shift isn't rooted in the story itself, but rather in the characters. It's like all the characters are in slightly different genres, so while they're experiencing the same events, it's all through different narrative lenses. If that makes any sense.

For example, the Sandford police officers could be in some sort of, like, rural sitcom. (If there's an actual name for that subgenre, I don't know it.) They're the quirky country locals, and Nicholas is the fish-out-of-water newcomer adjusting to life outside of the city. Looking at it from that angle adds another layer to why the other officers don't see the deaths as suspicious - in that genre a wild accident would be more likely than a grisly murder.

Meanwhile, Nicholas is clearly in a murder mystery, or at least he is from the first deaths. His view of the events follow the course that type of story pretty closely. The suspicious characters, looking for links between the victims... There's even the person with a vital clue who ends up being murdered before they can share their information. Of course, all culminating in the summation in Skinner's office, where Nicholas lays out a completely reasonable chain of events to explain the deaths.

Unfortunately, the murders are committed by the NWA, and their genre isn't mystery. It's horror. So a murder mystery resolution was never going to work. The audience is tipped off to the horror element, since we get to see the murders, but it takes Nicholas longer to realise that he's in the wrong genre. Not until he confronts the NWA at the castle. Possibly not even until they all stand up and reveal weapons. And he's so ill-equipped to deal with this new genre that if it wasn't for Danny, he likely wouldn't have made it out at all.

Finally, there's shift into the action genre. While the NWA might be overwhelming and terrifying in the horror genre, they're much less effective when it switches to action. I feel like there's something here that could be dug into, about how Nicholas has so little control over his circumstances throughout the film, and when he takes control he not only changes his own genre, but everyone else's, too. I mean, if we're looking at it through this lens, then this is the only part of the movie where all the characters are actually in the same genre.

The fact that it's the genre Danny's wanted to be in from the start also feels fairly significant.

And I think that's all I have on this. To be honest, I've only had time to watch the movie in full once so far, so I don't know if this will hold up on subsequent viewings. But it was fun way of thinking about the story, and maybe someone else will find it interesting, too.

Oh, and if anyone is worried that I forgot the romance genre, I promise I didn't! I just couldn't see a place where it switched on or off. As far as I can tell, romance - along with general comedy - is the only genre consistently present from start to finish. I'm sure everyone is able to draw their own conclusions about that.
