In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

I try not to fall into the "I never liked their work anyway" ditch when an artist/creator reveals themself to be a terrible person

BUT

a feeling I do have and will stand by is "While I enjoyed their work overall I did have some gripes that I overlooked out of affection and whimsy, but now that my loyalty is gone and my affection tainted there is nothing holding me back from enumerating my many grievances, to which the revelations of the creator's shittiness may or may not provide a new and infuriating context."

[beatrice-otter]

#such a good summation of this actually#because yeah there’s usually things that were always present#but which were easy to overlook or give the benefit of the doubt#that suddenly become relevant after a revelation about the creator#and it’s really not the same thing as the self-defensive “’I never liked it anyway’

FUCKING DEVASTATING

The hatemail game on this website is insane

[meiloorun-notthefruit]

Thinking about Sora stocking up on potions and rings and earrings to stay alive in KH1 and not knowing if it’ll be enough to get him through a fight. Multiple fights. Thinking about KH1 Sora literally having a panic button (press triangle) to call for Donald and Goofy for if he needed help/felt overwhelmed. Means they worked out a system- of course they did, cause Goofy taught Sora how to dodge roll and Donald taught him to how to cast fire, before all three of them left Traverse Town for the first time. Thinking about how that option doesn’t exist after KH1, from what I’ve seen. Could be because Sora grew up too fast/grew skilled enough that it wasn’t necessary anymore. He’s got summons. He got keychains. He’s got Strength, Magic, and AP Ups. He’s leveled up. But it could also be because after KH1, Sora has experienced being abandoned, left defenseless and on his own when he wasn’t seen as useful or chosen. He doesn’t think he can really call on them to protect him like that anymore. Maybe he doesn’t even realize that he’s thinking that. Maybe he does. Does Sora ever look at the stock of his supplies, so plentiful, made up of the dropped loot picked up by a desperate boy fighting to live another day. The keyblade and destiny didn’t pick him but he answered the call all the same. He must be tired.

He’s still tired, even after he’s died. He’s all alone again. But this time there might be no possible way back. He has to basically start over. Did he lose his power again… Sora doesn’t know Riku went looking for him; does he expect anybody to come looking for him.

Oh Sora…

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

One of the things about writing that feels the silliest is when there’s a detail in the scene that the character doesn’t think is important but you know the reader will know it’s important because otherwise it wouldn’t be there, so you’re just sort of making eye contact with the reader over the character’s head and whispering “don’t tell them”

[kuttithevangu]

Yes, the principle that details only be included if they’re plot-relevant is known as Chekhov’s gun. What Chekhov neglected to mention in his letters to younger playwrights outlining this principle is that sometimes as the writer you feel as if you are barging onstage in the middle of a scene to hang your loaded gun over the mantel while wearing giant clown shoes. Even if you’re actually dressed all in black and sneaking and the conventions of theater mean the audience politely decline to notice that you’re there

'dramatic irony turns you into a kabuki ninja'

[drbigsadbabymd-blog]

Listen, I 100% agree that it was a gross and bad idea for Dan Abnett to heavily imply MLK Jr was assassinated by Damon Prytanis on the behalf of the Cabal, like I'm not crazy about my pulpy sci-fi soap opera deflecting blame away from COINTELPRO shit.

HOWEVER, that being said:

I can get behind the Emperor being both Alexander the Great and Jesus Christ. And I can explain how it works.

Alexander the Great famously idolized the ancient Greek Cynic philosopher Diogenes of Sinope, which makes sense because Diogenes was extremely dope.

Diogenes despised the wealthy, advocated for the poor, lived a highly ascetic lifestyle where he tried to do away with as many personal belongings as possible, challenged social norms, was contemptuous of ego and pretension (which largely manifested as him showing up to Plato's lectures to heckle him). He was nicknamed Diogenes the Dog by his detractors because he was a basically a raggedy homeless man and to that he reportedly replied "I am Diogenes the Dog. I nuzzle the kind, bark at the greedy and sink my teeth into scoundrels."

Alexander the Great did finally meet him and Diogenes roasted him. It's a pretty great interaction, go look it up. However one of the best parts is when Alexander declares "If I was not Alexander the Great, I would wish to be Diogenes" and Diogenes replies "And if I were not Diogenes, I would still wish to be Diogenes"

(Stick with me, I'm getting to my point)

Cut to Alexander the Great conquering Jerusalem in 332 BCE while at war with Persia; he famously spares the Jews and grants them autonomy. The Jews of Jerusalem were incredibly grateful and he ends up developing a pretty tight relationship with the High Priests. Alexander was apparently fascinated by the Jewish faith and engaged in lengthy discussions and debates with Jewish scholars in an effort to learn more.

So MY IDEA, my LITTLE HEADCANON EXPLANATION OF ALL OF THIS, is that the Emperor tried to combine Diogenes' philosophy with Judaism in the first century. He wants to be Diogenes, he thinks Judaism is pretty interesting and he is arrogant enough to think "Judaism is great and all, but I could improve it. What if I put a little Diogenes-y spin on this established religion--"

Smash cut to the Crusades 1000 years later and he's like "Ah shit, ah jeez, I fucked up so bad. Throw it all out, religion is a terrible idea"

I think this adds up. I think it works.

There is, yeah! It's Oll Persson, one of the oldest Perpetuals, which would make it insanely weird if the Emperor was Jesus because he's known the Emperor since waaaay back. He used to be the Emperor's Warmaster in the time of Babylon and shit. It's like worshipping your ex-boss.

It'd be pretty funny if Persson somehow didn't know and made it 30k+ years as this devoted Catholic ("Catheric"), to the point he's the last faithful adherent, only to find out Neoth was Christ the entire time

[titanomancy]

It is ironic that this creature, whose will extends to over a million worlds, is now unable to leave the life-giving machinery of his imperial throne, unable to so much as lift a shrivelled finger or twitch a shrunken eye. The living carcass of the Emperor is immobile, held fast within the bio-machine that sustains his spirit. The mass of this machine is contained within the imperial palace; room upon room of twisted technology, pulsing with a life and will of its own - living, breathing, reproducing and writhing like a giant, mindless organism. Held within this perversion of science lies the Emperor himself, or rather what now remains of his carcass, the seat of his omnipotent will.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (1987)

[drbigsadbabymd-blog]

I kind of love the idea of a Perpetual who's had a falling out with the Emperor and genuinely wants nothing to do with him (as 99% of Perpetuals are wont to do) just repeatedly admiring a new public figure from afar, only to find out its Neoth yet again.

The new religious figure whose sermons are taking the world by storm? Love that guy--fuck, its Neoth

The new king uniting the warring tribes of [land] under a single banner? How invigorating--fuck, its Neoth

The new scientist whose brilliant innovative contributions to medical technology have been dramatically improving mankinds quality of life? So inspiring--fucK IT'S NEOTH

It'd be like dating a celebrity, having a bad breakup and then having to see their face plastered everywhere, but instead you KEEP accidentally admiring them every 100 years and it goes on FOREVER

Or at least until you hit the point where whenever someone tells you about a new up-and-coming influential man, you're like "I BET IT'S NEOTH. I BET IT'S THAT FUCKING GUY AGAIN"

posted this on reddit and gonna post it here

Why I hate the idea of "Big E is right"

I think the Emperor was objectively right that Chaos is an existential threat and humanity needed a way to deal with the Warp. That’s just a fact of the setting.

But I think he was dead wrong about everything else—specifically his methods (the xenocide, the forced atheism, the totalitarian control).

My reasoning is mostly meta/Doylist though.

A lot of people argue that his cruelty was justified because it was the "only way" humanity could survive. I hate this interpretation because it rigs the moral calculus of the universe. If you write a setting where the only logical option to prevent extinction is to be a genocidal fascist, then you aren't writing a tragedy—you’re writing a validation of fascism.

If the lore insists that "The Emperor had no choice," it implies that:

1. ⁠Nuance doesn't exist.

2. ⁠The "Great Man" theory is real (i.e., we need a supreme dictator to save us).

3. ⁠Atrocities are justified if the stakes are high enough.

That’s how you end up with real-life authoritarians and fascists unironically loving the Imperium. They see it as proof that their ideology works "when push comes to shove."

I prefer to read the setting as: The Emperor created a fascist hellhole because of his own hubris and lack of imagination, not because it was necessary.

The setting is way more interesting if the Imperium is a monument to his failure, rather than a justification for his cruelty. If he was "right," 40k stops being a satire and just becomes a grimdark power fantasy for authoritarians.
