Honestly, I think City Council of Darkness works so well comedically because Madelaine and LaVonte (until he gave up in the finale in favor of embracing the madness) are the only two members of the Coterie that are actually attempting to play VTM.

Vesper is playing DnD 5e, Darkness Man is playing a hyperviolent version of Masks: The Next Generation, Zaeth is doing all the sidequests in a video game out of order, and HJ is just vamping during a standup set while actively getting tomatoes pelted at him.

men will do literally anything other than engaging in pro-social community-oriented behavior and then get online and complain about how masculinity is vilified and men aren't allowed to be heroes anymore

[roycohn]

"all men really want is to feel like the hero" okay then volunteer at a food bank. get narcan training. step in when a woman is being harassed on the street. help out an elderly neighbor with shopping or home repairs. learn how to safely de-escalate fights. help your friends move. join or start your workplace union. become a big brother or volunteer coach for kids' sports. clean up your local park or get involved in some local conservation campaign. do your own damn dishes. notice what needs to be done and then do it. the world doesn't need heroes, it needs helpers. there are literally so many paths to finding a sense of self-respect and worth through pro-social behaviors that improve your immediate local community and help build your network of close personal connections. but these guys don't give a shit about actually contributing anything to the world. they just want to whine and fantasize.

[roycohn]

their inherent lack of self-respect is belied not only by the fact that they can't imagine doing anything that contributes to building a better, more resilient society, but how they can't imagine that doing so might involve a lot of small acts and choices and not one big act of heroism that gets them on the news as Big Man Of The Year.

I'm gently cupping your face with my hands and looking into your soul with my kind, tired, transgender artist eyes.

The idea that "artists need to make their more palatable for wider audiences, especially if their work becomes popular, because people are currently media illiterate and it's the artist's social responsibility to make their art digestible for mass audiences" is fascist rhetoric. It is especially fascist rhetoric when you say it about queer art.

You are repeating fascist propaganda about the "function" of art in society that has blatantly worked on you.

You can dislike a piece of art and have criticisms of it or even outright hate it! Those are your opinions. But the idea that it is somehow an artist's responsibility to create with a media illiterate audience in mind is absurd, fascistic, and would literally just contribute to making the literacy crisis worse.

The Theme Enjoying part of my brain: Jax has abstracted, and she'll never be brought back. And it hurts. It hurts that she never got to accept her transness and become better. It hurts that she died wondering. This was a completely preventable tragedy. She could've been saved if she'd made a single different decision. And that's the point. The point is that this didn't need to happen. If she had acknowledged herself as a person with depth, as a real human being who needs other human beings, as a trans woman, she would've lived. But she didn't. She didn't accept herself, she didn't reach out to others, she kept on performing, and it killed her. At least, in the circus. But the real version of her is out there, with longer hair and a chance to become who she needs to be. It's two diverging paths- one world where she accepts herself and lives, one where she doesn't and she dies. And even in the world where she's abstracted, she's still there, kept in the blanket fort to not overstimulate her, painted on the wall in memory of all who abstracted. She's cared for despite all she's done, because this shouldn't have happened. Her abstraction was completely preventable. She should have gotten to change, and she didn't. And it hurts. But it reflects a real reality of so many people who don't accept themselves and die. It's a beautiful, heartbreaking piece of trans tragedy. And Jax's story is going to help so many people feel seen, and help so many people to not die wondering. I wish her story had a happy ending. I'm glad that this story exists.

The coping part of my brain: SHE CAN BE BROUGHT BACK. THERE IS STILL TIME. ABSTRACTION CAN BE REVERSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE. ISN'T SHE LOVELY IS ABOUT THE BIRTH OF A DAUGHTER SO THEY CAN GET HER BACK AND SHE CAN BE REBORN AS A GIRL. THERE IS STILL TIME. THERE IS STILL TIME. 99% OF GRIEVERS GIVE UP DENIAL AND BARGAINING RIGHT BEFORE IT BRINGS THE DEAD PERSON BACK

all movies are for children because the moving image is inherently juvenile. to be entertained by it even moreso

[cadet-abysmal-deactivated202607]

Random tumblr blog roleplays as a philosopher. Shocks the masses by using big words just to say they think theyre better than you because you watch movies. WHHAAAAT?

[cheaphalloweencostume]

thats right

[cheaphalloweencostume]

the biggest word in this post is “entertained”
