#philosophical literature

[journeytodrawiii]

I made a small watercolor painting for my philosophy teacher the other day. It’s inspired by Franz Kafka’s book “Die Verwandlung” or “The Metamorphosis” in English. It’s one of my favorite books — that I’m pleased to say I’ve read in both English and German — and my first philosophical read. It really got me interested in the concept of man and to what extent one is still oneself. So in light of the recent coming to life of our little philosophical discourse group, I wanted to make her a little gift. She gave me a book and a sweet card! Anyway, I really like how this painting turned out and I wish you all a good day!! <33

A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. A theologian is the man who finds it.

I NEED to know why the transformers fandom is relevant

okay so, assuming you don't know anything beyond like. 4 characters: Megatron is depicted as a revolutionary in several of the continuities which bleeds over to the fandom perception, and he of course falls into that "bad guy makes good points so we need to have him commit genocide so people don't agree with him" camp. The comics published by IDW up to a few years ago had Megatron be essentially at the very bottom of the working class, while Optimus Prime was a fucking cop. Megatron rightfully pointed out the injustices on their planet, but was Too Radial™ about it, so of course he became the evil warmonger and Optimus Prime (canon police brutality enjoyer) went about it the Right Way™.

The comics series has had a MASSIVE impact on both the fandom and franchise itself, with current cartoons continuing to pull from it. It wasn't all bad, there are some interesting characters and in-universe concepts that IDW introduced, but what I've described above has left a really bad taste in my mouth.

So, with the main Transformers fandom on tumblr being a bunch of white 30 year old ao3 addicts whose peak theory moment was reading a Twitter thread, these cunts LOVE to act like they have everything figured out by reading that fucking god awful comics series and having their main takeaway be "yeah Megatron was right to build literal extermination camps, also cops are cool". It's soooooo annoying

#asks #this is probably so much longer than you were expecting and I'm so sorry #who needs Lenin when the fictional alien gun robot wrote some shitty poetry obv 🙄 #it get even worse because the Transformers pr/ime cartoon had Mtron being a LITERAL SLAVE whose original #stated goal was to give people equal rights 😭 #like maybe let's not take this fucking franchise as trustworthy political/philosophical literature
