Hi welcome to my pinned post. I'm weird about Avatar. Read my Norm/Quaritch fic.

This is so fucking funny, apparently “war bad” is liberal propaganda now??? Yes, war IS bad you fucking dipshit.

All Quiet on the Western Front (the original book) was written by a German WWI veteran who was determined to show just how utterly horrifying, disgusting, and senseless the war- and by extension all war- was. The book and its adaptations take great pains to portray the suffering endured by the common soldiers on both sides, who didn’t even really want to fight but were manipulated/forced into it by those in power. The book was even banned in Nazi Germany and the author had to flee the country because the Nazis believed the book was “anti-German” and would hamper their war efforts by showing the German people the real horrors of war.

So in some ways I guess history is repeating itself, more right-wing idiots are hating on this brilliant piece of anti-war media 🙄

[quasi-normalcy]

The right has always loved war.

[pomegranatecellar]

Oh, that’s not it.

The Nazis didn’t just force Erich Maria Remarque to flee and ban his book.

They killed his youngest sister in retaliation, going as far as to tell her “Your brother is beyond our reach, but you will not escape us” (paraphrased.)

When he spoke about the horrors of war, when she spoke in compassion and love for people, what were they awarded with?

Erich was forced to leave with his life in threat, a man who laid down his own life thinking it was for his country. Elfriede was beheaded, brutally, taken from her life and her family and made an example.

The people who tell you stories of war in glory have long been disdained by soldiers. Wilfred Owen, another soldier in WWI (though British), calls out Jessie Pope (an infamous propagandist for the British government) for her role in sending young men to die in Dulce et Decorum Est.

He died just a week before the war ended.

We have records of Sumerian soldiers who had seen combat fighting ghosts in their sleep. This is not glory. This is not honour. This is sacrificing the young for the whims of old, uncompassionate, unfeeling and uncaring men. Bitter, making deposits in blood to cash out the war.

When they tell you stories of war in glory, remember that the heroes they speak of made their victories upon mountains of their dead.

Never trust anyone who tries to sell you war.

That tiny Human spirit has shat himself 4 times today if you’d shat yourself 4 times by noon you’d be in hysterics too

[asteroidtroglodyte]

He fell asleep in his bed, at home, and woke up at the goddamn grocery store with an overhead light in his face if that happened to you you’d become The Joker

[asteroidtroglodyte]

Poor guy’s only been here for like a dozen weeks he doesn’t even have a favorite show to distract him yet he’s just raw-dogging reality unfiltered with no goddamn Blorbos to rotate whatsoever

[rowanisawriter]

do you ever become so completely unhinged about a guy that you find yourself looped back around to normal. i am no longer horny. i am just normal and ambivalent :) i am able to view an image of a character and feel an ordinary and expected amount of emotions :) :)

[rowanisawriter]

Apple eaters dilemma. Had apples a few months ago that are not Normally available here, they were Fun And New, and they were absolutely fucking divine. But now that ive has something so delicious, going back to honey crisps is so dissatisfying. This just taste like styrofoam made of ice

[intimate-mirror]

Everything is exceedingly normal until it isn't.

how it feels to be very angry abt something petty that doesn’t matter

[aneurins-barnard]

I wanted the movie to test the capabilities of every single craft in moviemaking. There are huge sets, huge props, complex wardrobe. I wanted it to feel like an old movie that was made in the heyday of Hollywood. Luscious, and beautiful, and operatic and all that. [...] 'cause I didn't want the audiance to go, "Oh, it's digital," because once you introduce that, it's like a license for people not to believe things. [...] If you do it for real, people have a sense.

FRANKENSTEIN 2025 Dir. Guillermo del Toro

hey so. this was the LAST person I expected to be genuinely upset over Avid's death??? hello????? UNDOOM MY YAOI THIS INSTANT

[krisonthefrontporchwithabeer]

Please, call me Frankenstein. Frankenstein was my father, but stealing his name and overriding his presence in the dominant cultural consciousness has been really, really satisfying

Holy SHIT

[identitty-dickruption]

nobody ever believes me when I list off all of the ways that humans are significantly less sexually dimorphic than people seem to believe and it drives me batshit insane. “you’re denying the biological reality of sex” well you’re sticking your fingers in your ears and saying lalalala every time anyone presents you with data that confirms that women and men aren’t really that different. and refusing to come to terms with the two-way relationship between the “biological” and “social” worlds. I think one of us is ignoring the biological sciences here and it isn’t me

[dykepuffs]

I strongly remember being a small child and saying to a teacher that it was weird that lions had manes and deer had antlers but the only ways that humans had to tell apart "male" and "female" was just how they dressed and they got absolutely furious, going "But men are taller than women" (but Mr Black is shorter than Miss Smith, and my Dad is shorter than my Mam, and...) etc etc etc ... this continued until I was in detention. But, I am sure this is a relic of me remembering the process of being taught how to gender people, and that Gendering was mandatory...
