Saw a post making fun of Asexuals in the year of our Good Vibes 2022 so a reminder:

The A stands for the Asexual community and spectrum (it also represents the Aromantic and Agender communities but I’m Asexual so I’ll be talking about that specifically in this post)

Celibacy is a choice to abstain from sex. Asexuality is a sexuality defined by a lack of sexual attraction to anyone, not by the choice to abstain from sex.

Every asexual person has different feelings on sex (an activity, not an attraction) - some are sex repulsed, some are sex neutral, and some are sex favorable. A physically pleasurable experience is not equal to an attraction to parties involved.

The Asexual community has been around since the dawn of the Queer liberation movement, and Asexual individuals have always existed.

Aphobia is real and has done tangible harm to Asexual people. Listen to and learn from their experiences.

If you make fun of Asexuals and their community jokes (dragons/cakes/cards) you are Aphobic. If you’re Asexual and you make fun of these aspects of your own community or consider them ‘cringe’ you have internalized Aphobia.

Sometimes teenagers and young people will identify as Asexual and change their label later in life. This does not mean that all young people who identify as Asexual will change their minds, nor does it mean that all people who identify as Asexual are young.

Seriously what do you people have against the dragons and cake jokes those are classic and hilarious please deconstruct why you have so much rage for harmless jokes that’s not a healthy response to silliness.

Anyways reblog this post if you’re Asexual, support Asexuals, or really want a dragon.

#edir:​that last point is not at other aces it’s at the aphobic post I saw #please don’t tag this as ace discourse it stresses me out those were dark times. we’re here to celebrate aces on this post <3 #yes I know it’s supposed to be sex favorable not positive I corrected the post hours after I made it. not my fault popular blog reblogged #the version w the typo #stop being weird and aggressive towards me in your tags I’m sorry my poorly worded 5 AM rage post got reblogged to your dash ig #ra speaks #asexual #asexuality #queer #lgbt #violence killing maiming biting etc. #i did not watch people who would evolve into modern t*rfs and g*nder critical blogs harass and suicide bait hundreds of blogs off this site #just to see it happen again #i am buff as hell I’ll kneecap you if I meet you irl #edit: #please be gentle in the notes I have the emotional constitution of a dog in an ASPCA commercial and also I don’t read tone well

Sorry, I gotta hear your theories abt the snow piercers burials at your earliest convenience

Sorry to disappoint not theories just thoughts!

Like how it's acknowledged multiple times in canon that bodies go to compost. Melanie tells Jackboots to take Josie there, Ruth complains of bodies stacking up after the rebellion.

Which makes total sense composting bodies is probably the best possible option, but it's not super easy to do in a safe way and would need to be far more complex and scientific than the den of sludge that we see on Big Alice.

But then the Breachmen get what you gif'd - wrapped in cloth and jettisoned. Inherently wasteful, a not insignificant amount of cloth and rope on top of the loss of the soil feeding nutrients of the body itself.

This is presumably supposed to be an honour. Breachmen are third class, though. Do they get the honour because of the work they do, revered as they were amongst the working class? Do they get the honour because they were murdered, or young, or innocent? Do we only compost Tailies and rebels?

Do you get an honourable send off if you commit suicide? Even if your a firstie? In fic I refer to those as The Ungrateful Dead (an imagined Wilfordism, to be clear) and they get sent to compost.

Assume for a minute that the honour is generally reserved for the upper class, or at the very least the heroes. Even in death, even after the end of the world, how very like reality. The working class interred or burned, given back to the earth, the upper class entombed in mausoleum, great metal lined slabs, perfectly preserved... For posterity.

Of course the main point and one my mutuals are sure to be bored of is this.

Send me to compost.

What horror to be flash frozen, shattered flesh, scattered on a dead planet and trapped in this lifeless fragment of a life cycle for decades or centuries. What horror to be wasted.

Send me to compost. So I can feed the fungus, the bacteria, feed the earthworm and the cockroach, bring life to the fruiting tree and the sprouting herb. Send me to compost so I can feed you and you can have me back again. So I can be again. Life unto life. Keep me close and keep me warm, don't throw me out into the frozen wastes.

Sorry @gifsofhubris I just really wanted to wax lyrical about compost 🤷

#Ruthie's ongoing mission to become mycelium brained #Applied for a job to work at a commercial composting site recently. It was good pay too. Unworkable hours for me alas #Anyway real tags I guess : #snowpiercer #snowpiercer tv

Heard a Clarins ad that was like "If you recognize the sound of dial up, millennials, it's time for our anti-aging cream!" and it's like girl, I didn't think I was going to live to see 30 and now I'm almost 40 and not trying to die at every turn so I think I'm going to age with pride thanks

ok its been two weeks but i have been busy. you reblogged a post from me about futurama and said in the tags that you wanted to watch it. and as a self-appointed futurama proselytizer, i am taking it upon myself to convince you further.

i asked my friend, who i convinced to watch this show, for a description and she described it as:

character driven show in which everyone is incompetent but also really smart and that is why it’s funny and they fly around in a spaceship and get involved in things they shouldn’t and it all ends up okay on accident usually

and said it's

witty comedy, dark humor, well fleshed out characters, very clippable

some other fun facts about it:

in the course of writing one episode, the writers came up with and proved a mathematical theorem

source of memes such as "not sure if" and "shut up and take my money"

among the guest stars are:

leonard nimoy (repeatedly)

former u.s. vice president al gore (five times)

conan o'brien

gary gygax

stephen hawking = nichelle nichols

lucy liu

hank aaron

sigourney weaver

bob odenkirk

johnathan frakes

walter koenig

william shatner

george takei

mark hamill

david cross

penn jillette

teller

seth macfarlane

snoop dogg

patton oswalt

buzz aldrin

patrick stewart

larry bird

depending on how you count it, the show has been canceled ether two or three times, and that's not even counting the upcoming revival

i present to you this gif, which i made solely for this ask:

anyway PLEASE come yell at me about this show. my inbox is open.

fdghfj THANK YOU, this was a delightful recommendation! truth be told I already forgot I said I wanted to watch it, so a much needed reminder too, not to mention very effective. despite living under a rock and recognizing exactly two of the aforementioned names (stephen hawking and snoop dog), I have.. acquired the first season. the suicide machine in the first episode immediately reaffirmed that I need this cartoon in my life :3

#futurama #I guess this is a tag now #I think I never got into it because the drawing style doesn't appeal to me as much #but all this trivia I'm learning about it is really really fascinating thank you #ask #suicide tw #I guess?? #also why does the suicide machine work with money. what's the implication here #if you're pennyless you're denied suicide too even in a world where it's so normalized it's commercial? #or was the inflation so great during the 1000 years 25 cent is literally worthless and they sweep it on the streets #but then why bind it to money to begin with #the costumer service voice was a delightful touch

morally ambiguous din djarin moment when he's about to close the deal🔫 and then suddenly realizes the person who is knelt in front of him waiting for the final blastershot actually is... the client - & took out a bounty on themselves as a way to end their own life

#din djarin #tw suicide #star wars #the mandalorian #what does he do you decide #see if this show didnt crash and burn and get nuked #and turn into a commercial and also Terrorist Princess Adventures we couldnt have more interesting stuff like this #couldve** #development for him #more into what being a bount hunter really means #what being a mandalorian means #would they think this was morally wrong #what about his specific clan #RIP this show we couldve had it all #intricate and philosophical storytelling at least i have star trek for that #since disney killed sw

that post about how “lost media is like a more ethical version of true crime” (while generally true) makes me remember that there is a middle ground between the two where you have people looking for footage of real life deaths and tragedies.

and to be fair, most people i’ve seen talk about these things just bring them up in a “yeah these things exist and are technically lost media but they’re better off not being publicly available and we definitely shouldn’t be contacting the families of the victims about it” but like, there’s also people out there making “fan recreations” of christine chubbuck’s on-air suicide and idk that kinda thing just really rubs me the wrong way.

#cw: suicide mention #also tbf i generally like lost media and it generally is just ''get in losers we're looking for a cereal commercial from 1991'' #but it came to my mind so i wanted to talk about it

[alienheartattack]

I want to be excited for the Barbie movie but Greta Gerwig’s version of Little Women was literally unwatchable

#i swear to god if she does dialogue the same way as LW i will commit suicide in the theater #that movie was suffocating and the dialogue was barely understandable #not to mention the bizarrely quick cuts and unnecessary non-linear storytelling #i never got around to seeing lady bird but people seemed to like that #and i enjoyed frances ha but apparently she just wrote that one #i don't feel great about rooting for what i assume is a feature-length commercial but i do love campy pink things #i just want to have good things because so many things are Bad

I mentioned in the tags of that comic I posted with caesar and cassius that the second panel was inspired by a scene out of the abracadabra mv, but what I didn't mention was I almost did something with the milk thing but I looked at the rough draft and went, 'buddy, we gotta dial it back a bit, we haven't posted dead romans in a month. chill. relax. be a little bit normal on main for a second.'

anyway,

#truly a music video for the ages. hostile lesbian homoerotic subtext. dude with a riding crop who's going to get murdered. #messy love triangle dynamics that remind me of 2005 late night television plots that'll end in a murder suicide #that last scene with the pill had me thinking about another Idea that i'll assemble together #the other thing i was listening to was bouncy but that was mostly bc i like the aesthetics #bro when i tell you i feel old whenever i listen to a group that came out after 2015 #like i just do not enjoy most of it. the commercialized corporate feel is Too Much. i need them to at least pretend a bit. #i think the newest group i actually Enjoy might be xdinary her0es and that's bc they're a band #and they play instruments. and also the lyrics feel like they're trying to sell me punk and ngl. i'll buy it #would love to hear what they could come up with if they werent corporation manufactured

On the outside I'm normal, on the inside I'm trying to figure out how The Wicked + The Divine would be broken down into seasons if it ever got turned into a show

#i think it's safe to say that volumes 1 and 2 can cover the first season but after that who knows #and i refuse to let commercial suicide and special issues go ignored they're very important to me #commercial suicide could probably be dispersed throughout episodes through flashbacks especially sahkmet and baph/morrigan's issues #wicdiv #the wicked and the divine #the wicked + the divine #i'm saying stuff

Dean as god theories are just “eh” to me.

Tw for hollywood portrayals of mental illness and religious paranoia

thought experiment

I’m not saying it’s bad, it’s just, if we’re gonna go that symbolic, it’s not as compelling to me as Sam as the pseudo-primary “god/personality” and Jack as the maybe true primary “Hunter Heroici type of hidden god” perhaps Amara as the “traumagenic deep god” in a sea of non-integrated emotional and symbolic manifestations (that may or may not be complex manifestations of his past).

(And Chuck is based on the for-profit sleazeball using the recordings of trauma/case notes in connection to parallels, mirrors, fate etc to invite his pulp readers to perceive things a certain titillating way (“false god”). ) “Writers lie.” He’s also an advocate of fusion/integration, which is very outdated and traumatic for some systems.

Chuck’s book series is an indictment of the audience, especially the ones who know no real trauma (Hunger Games-coded Capitol), as much as it is a triumph of the audience using it to work through their own trauma (like perhaps Becky). I would say something about Sybil here but it makes me feel icky. I feel like the controversy is relevant for Chuck though. “Sylvia” (Sybil) appears in season 15 in Gimme Shelter. And I’m not convinced they weren’t covertly pushing this tired “gotcha.” And Chuck well…Chuck Shurley (Shirley Mason) was a bit on the nose.

From Nihilism

Please, you have to -- you have to try to remember, because the people in your life -- in your real life, out there -- we need you to come back.

The anti-possession tattoo is a metaphor to ward off the family illness. It’s why individual growth and integration of characters like Chuck and Amara are threats to the universe. It’s why the “healthier” Sam gets, the more “the people” die. It’s even why Dean died.

It’s why Dean protected him from everything, even from dad.

It’s why Cas can “shift” Sam’s trauma to himself.

It’s why “I’d never put anything ahead of you!” in Dean and “Nothing is worth your life, Sam!” in Cas. It’s why Jack choosing Cas as his “father” is heartbreaking.

It’s why Jack is Sam, another doomed child. It’s a manifestation of, “If I’d had Dean and Cas back then, it would’ve gone right for me.”

It’s why angels, possession, and angel radio.

It’s why season 8 Sam’s delusion was Amelia and Dean’s delusion was Benny (Shadow selves and longing.)

It’s why that random gym guy says, “You said you’d protect us!” to Cas is episode 2 or 3 of season 15. Sam is blaming Cas for not protecting him-them-Jack.

It’s why Dean says to Cas in script, “I put on you what I couldn’t take.”

It’s why we.

It’s why hunting. It’s why the initial two monsters look like Sam and Dean in 15x20 and why it just feels more like serial murder here. Maybe even unaware/bitterly motivated murder to destroy that family’s perfect life that they can never have, and why Sam-Jack kill Dean here. It’s why the dad was drained of blood…and Sam’s bullet was soaked in a dead man’s blood.

It’s why when Mary died she said to Cas in flashback, “they were never alone.”

It’s why Lucifer says, “Sam’s different,” when referencing how people come back from the dead “not themselves.”

It’s why Jack makes the empty “loud.”

In this approach, Gods don’t often interact with their stories, and when they do, they have to leave to get back to their “real” words is the ableist implication.

That’s why Jack “takes himself out of the story” and sends everyone to their respective ends (death, the empty).

Its why, like a child looking at their caretakers, Sam didn’t figure out Cas and Dean for so long. One might argue he even judged them in bouts of religious paranoia. It’s why Sam concocted a confession in a dungeon in his mind, with Dean disallowed from speaking. Sam unlocked that they were a family but seeking their happiness was what killed them.

It’s why the rest of the story is Sam making peace with the people who already died long ago. And finally making peace with his figment of Dean.

​I prefer that Chuck is a god that won and wants it to seem more meaningful so he copied a bunch of edgelord takes from well known pop psych books with little insight into psychiatric conditions, and he just pats himself on the back. He’s a powerful singularity obsessed with monotheism and integration and he simply ate Jack, as evidenced by the charming acres style shots in 15x19 and the gloating nature of the dad being stabbed like Cas and the mom’s tongue being cut out in 15x20. It’s why they drained the dad’s blood and cut out mom’s tongue (callback to fridged Mary, mute Dean).

I mean you could argue they’ve always been sacrificing people to father-god and that creates a sort-of…god complex. But honestly in that case Sam is still sacrificing Dean at the end here, sending him somewhere he can “be happy” and “not hurt anyone anymore.”

But thing is…. ANY story could be framed as a complex delusion with main characters functioning as Demi-gods and chosen ones. It’s…not a novel take or a particularly compelling one.

So really… 15x20 is… Chuck rebooted the universe…with different rules of perspective. He sharpened the genre to be more rigidly psy-pop horror. Or, if he’s going by “Jack” now, he’s infected the SPN with reality in the same way Sam and Dean infected ScoobyDoo.

It’s stripped of the meaning of family. Chuck has found a new spin to explain the nature of story as delusion and a new theory of everything. This may be Chuck's new pitch. The ommitted scenes are purely manipulating reality to sell Chuck's new idea. We can always go edgier and darker...and soon we'll have a bigger HBO style budget!

If you're advertising your shiny triple-AAA video game on Food Network of all media outlets, you're fucked beyond salvation, you're up shit's creek without a boat at that point

#food network #video games #they're pushing that suicide squad game right now and i've already gotten the impression people aren't too happy with that game #there's a lot of warner bros promotions on food network so that's why they're airing those commercials but this can't be auspicious lol
