'Swing Kids fails at showing how cruel the nazis truly were'

This is a movie about german children who weren't inherently in danger by virtue of being 'the right race' whose only 'wrong-doings' were listening to the wrong kind of music and still they were constantly threatened and beat up, were forced to join the HJ to not endanger their families, one of them had his hand hurt so badly by a nazi he couldn't use two of his fingers anymore and had to teach himself to play guitar three-fingered, they were used to gather information for the Gestapo to the point the mc distrusted his best friend, they witnessed beatings and deportations and the shooting of a man on the run, the movie quite literally ends with the teenage main character being sent to what's most likely a concentration camp for dancing to the wrong music

#Are you perhaps simply desensitized by other movies which show violence as a way to entertain? #Which isn’t wrong but I think it's important to keep in mind that all of the things I just listed ACTUALLY HAPPENED #'oh they only showed the nazis beating up people' ISN'T THAT ENOUGH ALREADY #DOESN’T THAT MAKE YOU SCREAM FROM THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS #these people could just gang up on somebody and beat them half to death #Out in the open on the fucking street #How can you think about this for longer than two seconds - let alone watch it play out on screen #And not feel absolute devastation wash over you #Besides I had to stop this movie when I started it two days ago #Because of the scene in the car where the Gestapo guy talks about mcs grandma #And sending her away 'to get better' because I absolutely couldn't think about the implications of that #Within nazi germany #Without crying #Anyway Swing Kids actually lived and died in the third reich and that's awful #But yeah maybe you're simply used to the balcony scene in Sh/ndlers L/st #Swing Kids #Brain loves movies

fwiw I would read your essay on the Memphis album ☺

😭 thank you honey, it's worth a lot

#i probably won't ever share it because it feels silly and emotional and nobody needs to see that #idk if it's an essay as much as it is a collection of thoughts about #the themes of the songs and the way it's structured and contrasts with the sonic styles and so on because it's got a lot of layers #opening with: i had to leave town for a little while... #the specific way he transforms only the strong survive #long black limousine being the first track recorded which. i. #such a powerhouse of a song but i cannot HEAR #there's a long line of mourners coming down our street; their fancy cars are such a sight to see #they're all of your rich friends that knew you in the city and now they finally brought you home to me #without crying #and conjuring up specific images of a procession of cars #it just makes my heart hurt so much. but still i listen #i'll never love another! oh my heart all my dreams ride with you in that long black limousine #that record is everything i love it so immensely #i'm giving him a grammy for aoty retroactively btw #again. i need a tag for these posts so you all don't have to be subject to them. the el files. #the fact that true love travels on a gravel road and any day now and gentle on my mind #and in the ghetto and power of my love and i'm movin' on and----all of them exist on the same record #(and TECHNICALLY suspicious minds and kentucky rain. insane) #the tracklist on the physical and on streaming are different but it's mind-blowing what came out of those sessions #revelatory and beautiful and sometimes so sad it's eerie #see? writing this out coherently would be too much probably #anonymous #letterbox

Nice to know there are some songs that will get me crying without fail now.

#personal #grief things and all that #i love these songs still but... #there's so much emotion tied to them now #i don't think i'll ever hear them again #without crying #at least a little bit

Prompt:

Instead of Dick or Tim, Red Hood straight up goes for kidnapping Bruce Wayne and keeping him hostage just to see how desperate the birds get in trying to find him.

It’s a foolproof plan. Batman won’t blow his cover unless absolutely necessary, and “Brucie” would never know how to slip away from a crime lord of Red Hood’s caliber. It’s foolproof. It’s perfect. Jason can keep dropping hints and make threats towards the birds and watch Bruce squirm without consequences if he plays this right.

But then “Brucie” keeps begging him not to hurt his kids…

#Jason miscalculated #seeing Batman frightened is one thing #but without the cowl he’s just Bruce #and Bruce was Jason’s DAD #it’s pretty hard to see him plead like that #and ffs Jason was just suggesting MILD torture with Tim #now stop CRYING Brucie omG #Jason is totally NOT close to tears himself no fucking way #meanwhile dick and Tim: #SCREAMING IN DISTRESS #jason todd #batfamily #batfam #dick grayson #robin #tim drake #bruce wayne #red hood #Nightwing #batdad #prompts #fic #titans tower au does this count? #enemy to caretaker for certain tho #or more like #enemy to son #or enemies to family? #huh #Batman #fanfiction

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

#this shifts gender so much bc it actually affects everyone #yes it's a gendered phenomenon. i have written a LOT about how different genders experience it. that's for a different post. #writeblr #ps my comments about seeing someone cry -- this is not to shame any person #and on this blog we support workers. #at the same time it's a really hard experience to see someone that looks like you. clearly in agony. and have them forced to keep going. #when you're young it doesn't necessarily look like acting. it looks scary. and that's what this is about - the fact that teens #have likely already been exposed to that definition of things. because the internet exists #and without the context of healthy education. THAT is the image burned into their minds about what it looks like. #it's also just one of those personal nuanced biases - #at 19 i thought it was normal to be in pain. to cry. to not-like-it. that it should be perfunctory. #it was what i had seen. #and it didn't help that my religious upbringing was like . 'yeah that's what you get for premarital. but also for the reference #we do think you should never actually enjoy it lol' #so like the point im making is that ppl get exposed to that stuff without the context of something more tender #and assume .... 'oh. so it's fine i am not enjoying myself'. and i know they do because I DID. #he was my first boyfriend. how was i supposed to know any different #i didn't even have the mental wherewithal to realize im a lesbian . like THAT used to suffering.

I'm gonna be going to SPX this weekend and I'm a bit emotional about it. I've gone twice in the past with my mom, and now she's gone. She was supposed to be alive to worry about me driving there on my own. I was gonna bring stuff back for her. There was an enamel pin she used to have, that she lost, and I thought it would be so cool if I could find her a replacement.

#it's been two weeks and I still can't answer the question #how are you #without crying #I know that's no time at all #I just want to be able to not cry for a while so I can tell people how I'm feeling

they’re both losers (said with love)

#firm believer of shanks being the last to genuinely warm up to luffy but the one who loves him the most #its a dad and the cat situation #also luffy befriend ALL the other akagamis before shanks is so funny #shanks being like: this pint sized toddler is stealing my crew <:((( #thus the bullying instincts kick off #also also imagine like #shanks laughing and going :its ok they’re just entertaining a kid #and the akagamis are like: we’d trade you for him without second thought #their beloathed high maintenance captain who they unfortunately love #oughghhh i love the red hair pirates being luffys family hold on i need to have a quick cry abt it #monkey d luffy #red haired shanks #benn beckman #yasopp #lucky roux #red hair pirates #one piece #my art!!

(all the people she left behind) #i cried this morning while eating grits she taught my mother how to make. love is so big when i think of it like that #i thought i heard her walker clack in the hallway last night. #she wears glasses & we have to decide where to keep them #grief is so strange #i can’t keep crying by myself (i’ll be crying for the rest of my life) #love is carrying on. i think.

listening to the Outer Wilds OST through headphones at a high volume in a dark room thinking about the dnd character you associate with the music is something that can be so powerful

#i had dnd last night #and i lost my mind #my sweet little himbo boy finally got to kiss his childhood crush/best friend #and my lovely lovely dm #set the scene to the OUTER WILDS MUSIC??? #CAUSE SHE KNEW IT WOULD DEVASTATE ME #in the best way #BUT STILL #and now i will never listen to the spirit of water ever again #without crying #now im just listening to the other songs #and being soft and emotional
