memory almost full - paul mccartney (2007) <- yes, this is a poetic last pick. it was intentional ;)

#venus and mars and revolver are sort of cheating. but the super deluxe revolver basically made me 'get it' and i got venus and mars on #vinyl this year which also made me 'get it.' i feel i'd never properly listened to the albums before 2022 but now! i understand. also there #is a lot of paul. i know. it's bc i listened to almost his entire discography this past year as a challenge and found i liked a lot more #than i thought i did #i have way more to discuss bc i truly loved almost all of these albums and it was so hard to pick. will talk more on my playlist post :)

[sapphire-weapon]

are you excited for anything that was announced/going to do future metas on? silent hill 2, silent hill short message, until dawn remaster, etc?

lmao absolutely not. i write meta for narratives i respect. i don't respect the new SH projects. in fact, i haven't felt this level of disrespect for a narrative since david cage was still making games. so expect memes about them, not meta.

and there's nothing to say about until dawn. it's a game that tries to and pulls off being an 80s-style slasher movie with a supernatural twist. it puts all of its cards on the table up front, and there's nothing else to say about it. UD is a really nice game to just kind of like... mindlessly enjoy and not think about too deeply.

but honestly i thought the state of play was a fuckin bust. i might eventually play dragon's dogma 2 if i get bored enough, but that's really it.

my next meta project will inevitably be ff7 rebirth, whether i want it to be or not. i expect that my source will be accurate and i will hate the game, but i hated remake too and i spent like idk at least six months writing essay-length posts about it on the regular. like, i don't get a choice in the matter. even if they kick the shinra can down the road, my brain is still going to take one look at rufus and go "I WILL OBSESS OVER EVERY DETAIL THANK U NOJIMA-SAN"

So I finished FF7 Rebirths story. I'm gonna need some time to recover from that end. I had hopes that maybe they wouldn't, but . . .

I can't say I'm not satisfied with it though.

I'd say the whole game is fucking good, but it has some detractions that really knock all of those 10/10 game reviews down to an 8.5/10. Like some of the mini games are fucking hard and required to get to the next part of the story. It'd be fine if the mini games were optional or side quest only things, but to have some of them locking progress is fucking bullshit. And yes, I am fully admitting that I am straight out bad at some of them. I was also bad at Rufus and final phase of Sephiroth because I brute force the game. I employ no skill or strategy. Strongest survives and strongest is me! But it's fucking hard to brute force mini games and most of the time you can't, which is annoying as hell when many of them require precision and I have no precision.

But yeah, the ending's got me emotional and shit so I'm gonna just chill and relax and try not to cry and go crazy until the final game is out which is too long a wait.

Thank fuck that Dragons Dogma 2 will be out in like, 4 days. As if that game isn't about to emotionally scar me as well.

You are ready to see a woman, and she wants to be “one of the guy’s” so bad you would think she cares about women. She has her guise, and it just exposes her bad genes. I would wonder why she dances, and it’s because she has a bad back and she’s bigger than the women “like her..” so, she did yoga and danced, and now you don’t consider her as an oaf. She won’t show you images of her playing softball, but she can touch men - have men touch her - and ultimately do nothing but promote sod atheism. You call her out on it, she says sod atheism is protected by the 14th amendment. She’s ready to say equal protections need to be applied, and in atheism a man in the clique can be a theist.. and now the appliance of laissez-faire is, again, applied. Some Kikes are always fearing for their life, and before they are figured out it’s all jokes as they want to make you the butt of jokes. Smoke that cigarette, that fag, and when all you can do is mirror your poetry snap with the flick of the butt.. it’s fuck you and your jazz! I would be able to put words together better than that Kike, and I too would add I am talking Albert Pike and you aren’t moving at haste to go and read his “old books.” You don’t want to engage Morals and Dogma? See, before me, shit like this is only interesting to you if you can rent a cabin just to get some psychedelic mushrooms and booze - now you just need the people, “Rufus.” You see the phase that exposes an era, a tide, and it’s because of the next man and not YOU. You don’t understand cult? Thornbacks are ready to take what I say, just to go with the agenda.. now you are using the 14th amendment to give equal protections to sod atheist as free speech is free speech. “Pride🏳️‍🌈”

Why are you Donald J. Trump? Go figure

Carrots for Elvis

Rufus Wainwright wrote “I am so tired of America” in his song ” going to a town”. American justice has decided to let the states decide whether abortion is legal or not. Its a step back for women’s rights. America may pretend to have avoided a coup d’etat on the 6 the of January but the truth is that tolerance is burning on the bonfire of dogma. Some conservatives think that everyone must agree…

I love this movie quote.  It's incredibly accurate. Our lives are built on ideas that have become beliefs. When we were younger we had the idea that we weren't worth caring about,  that we were unloved, that we should be quiet, etc...and we built a life holding onto this belief. The same thing happens in #religion #politics #law #money #relationships...ideas are taken and turned into beliefs. If you truly believe something, it's difficult to think about it from a different perspective. Yet many beliefs we hold onto fail to serve us. As Rufus says, isn't it better to have an idea and be open to change than to hold onto beliefs and become rigid in your #outlook? What beliefs do you hold onto that no longer serve you? #moviequote #dogma #chrisrock #rufus #wisdomincomedy #belief #idea #limitingbeliefs #perspective #change #choice #doesitserveyou #openminded #flexiblethinking #mentalwellness #affirmations #lawofattraction #frequency #sharingwisdom #advice #lifecoach #soundshift #haveagreatday https://www.instagram.com/soundshiftltd/p/BuawiCbFESZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ga80489mvj1k

What the heck is jay and silent bob? Are they like fictional clowns?? Or some like 90’s adult cartoon?

this is jay and silent bob (jay is blonde, silent bob is not) and they're like gay beavis and butthead. they're a staple in director kevin smith's View Askewniverse and they're genuinely just awful. i love them incredibly dearly. i would not recommend any view askewniverse movies starring them (jay and silent bob strike back, jay and silent bob reboot) to people who are uncomfortable with the worst things that teenagers say about women. i don't mean that in the "they're creepy" way, i just mean it in a "they will not shut up about dicks, balls, boobs, and other sundry body parts". or, well, jay won't shut up about them. silent bob is mostly silent.

they're also both canonically queer which. diversity loss? but it's not just word-of-gd either: chris rock playing rufus the 13th apostle straight up says jay's attracted to guys, most likely including silent bob, who is his "hetero life mate" (i can't make this shit up).

profession wise, jay is a weed dealer and general nuisance, and silent bob is the one who (i like to think) has the health insurance out of the two of them. they're my horrible little scrunklies. never watch a view askew movie.

however if you want to, i'd HEAVILY recommend the does the dog die page for any VA movie you want to watch. there's a lot of extremely crude humor, and a lot hasn't aged super well.

technically the order is mallrats > clerks > clerks: the lost scene (comic) > the flying car (short, on youtube) > clerks (comics) > chasing amy > chasing dogma (comic) > dogma > clerks: the animated series > jay and silent bob strike back > bluntman and chronic (comic) > where's the beef? (comic) > clerks II > jay and silent bob reboot, since every single publication in the View Askewniverse is interconnected (which means that Jay and Silent Bob have pretended to be a gay couple with a son to escape a diner with a kidnapped laboratory escapee orangutan in Utah...twice!) but really the only ones you need to see are mallrats, clerks, dogma, and clerks II.

there's also the jay and silent bob super groovy cartoon movie, but we don't talk about that.

again, i can't stress enough that you REALLY need to does the dog die these before jumping in. the humor isn't for everybody, and it gets pretty damn gross at times. my personal favorite movie ever is dogma, which is the one i started with, but again, you can really just watch mallrats > clerks > dogma > clerks II and be fine.

as you can probably tell, this is a special interest of mine, so thanks a ton for asking GKDSKDS

The Power of Belief in ‘Soul Eater’ and ‘Fire Force’

The first did it kind of well enough, the latter just screws it up.

This is typed in a rush, so I hope I can go back to this at some point when my thoughts are more organized, especially since the last chapter of Fire Force isn’t even out yet–but all of this remains such a mess that it’s hard not to respond right now.

When I was in college, one of my classmates was a fundamentalist Christian, albeit far more to the left than traditionally associated. (Thank goodness: I can’t see how you vote for anyone on the right after Reagan or even Nixon.)

And one argument they would make was about beliefs: “A belief is something you hold onto even in the absence of evidence.”

So, basically, it’s faith.

If you saw Dogma and heard Rufus’s monologue about ideas and beliefs, you know where this is going: ideas are easy to change, but people hold onto their beliefs, regardless what evidence you put in front of them.

We see that enough now with people “believing” the masks and vaccines don’t work, even when evidence logically leads to the conclusion that, no, masks do help against spreading a pandemic and do help reducing the chance of getting COVID, and no, vaccines do work and have helped reduce the risk of suffering from COVID.

Both Soul Eater and Fire Force are built around beliefs, in different ways. And like I said, the former did it kind of well enough, the latter just screws it up.

It was Maka’s belief in her friends and herself that, in the anime, let her punch out Asura. Corny, yes, and definitely paralleling the “believe in the me who believes in you” Gurren Lagann cliche. But it’s not a harmful message, just one that has to be tempered with awareness that all of this is allegory, and beliefs aren’t enough. Maka wouldn’t have been able to do what she did without thinking through it: “Okay, Asura is fear itself, fear can’t go away–oh, but courage in the face of fear can at least defeat it!”

Maka still had to have evidence in front of her, over the course of the entire series, that there was a reason to believe in others. Her entire arc started with not trusting Soul and thinking he’d be like Spirit and go off with Blair. It was only when Soul helped her take down Blair that she now had evidence that she could have faith in Soul.

And it pays off in the manga, too: Maka had seen enough of Crona to believe they could be reached, that they would help them, and at manga’s end that she will one day retrieve Crona from the Moon.

...Sure would be nice to have that happen some day, only not after this Fire Force shitfest.

Shinra’s entire talk with Haumea just comes across as “if you just believe hard enough, then you can overcome despair.” It’s bizarre for a series so critical of religion that it keeps using the same tactics to reinforce its own message: “organized religion is built on lies, but you can totally trust my belief that we can just overcome despair through the power of positive thinking!”

It’s not like Shinra’s story doesn’t have the same elements as Maka’s story: both are characters who needed to be reminded about the goodness of others to feel like what they were fighting for was worthwhile and achievable. Shinra needed to have the entire Company 8 behind him to feel like he could pull this off…which then seems like an empty belief, when Akitaru gets sliced, Iris is stabbed off-panel and told that she fell into despair off-panel, and the entire world gets destroyed.

It doesn’t even feel like all of this is testing his faith: it just comes across as contrivances to keep having Shinra fall in and out of despair so that every other chapter can have a cliffhanger–”In this chapter, Shinra is ahead, but now in this chapter Haumea is winning! Oh, but in an upset, Shinra is winning now! SO EXCITING!”

Maybe it’s supposed to be faith in his family? Even that doesn’t sit right with me, as it gets overshadowed by an Easter Egg that makes no sense. How did Shinra know he could merge with his brother and mother? We only just established that he can now see his own soul, yet somehow he knows he can “resonate” with their souls, all so we can awkwardly have him shout “Soul Resonance” for fans that are entertained by just a reference? Really?

I can’t even tell if all of this was already there in the text. Shinra’s reaction to Hibana in her last fight was essentially telling her to have faith in people like him who can make this world better. This kind of “shonen action hero speech” gets derided all the time, but there can be good ones that are built out of some kernel of truth. Again, something as simple as “courage is facing your fears” was enough to build a pretty good speech in the Soul Eater anime. Where is that same moment in Fire Force? We just ranted against religious belief systems, and nuance tells us that means there can still be things you believe in, even if they aren’t religious or spiritual or divine in nature–and at the end, it’s belief in one person, Shinra, who proceeds to just make an unappealing world, where child abusers and murderers come back because Shinra wants to play god but not in the way that plays favorites.

Arrivals & Departures 12 May 1937 – 22 June 2008 George Denis Patrick Carlin

George Denis Patrick Carlin was an American stand-up comedian, actor, social critic, and author. Regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comics of all time, he was dubbed "the dean of counterculture comedians". He was known for his dark comedy and reflections on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and taboo subjects. His "seven dirty words" routine was central to the 1978 United States Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5–4 decision affirmed the government's power to censor indecent material on the public airwaves.

The first of Carlin's 14 stand-up comedy specials for HBO was filmed in 1977. From the late 1980s, his routines focused on sociocultural criticism of American society. He often commented on American political issues and satirized American culture. He was a frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade Johnny Carson era and hosted the first episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975. His final comedy special, It's Bad for Ya, was filmed less than four months before his death from cardiac failure. In 2008, he was posthumously awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. In 2004, he placed second on Comedy Central's list of top 10 American comedians. In 2017, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him second (behind Richard Pryor) on its list of the 50 best stand-up comedians of all time.

His film roles include a taxi driver in Carwash, Frank Madras in Outrageous Fortune, Rufus in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, Eddie Detreville in The Prince of Tides, Cardinal Ignatius Glick in Dogma, Architect in Scary Movie 3, and Bart Trinké in Jersey Girl. He did voice-over roles as Zugor in Tarzan II, Fillmore in Cars, and narrated the first four seasons in the American dub of the British children's television show Thomas & Friends.
