To George, the First Space Monkey

Hi, I'm Allie! I like lipstick, microorganisms, and the Boston Bruins. NSFW-ish, sometimes.

had to share this

In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice

The core conceit of Lord of the Rings is pretty funny. You are a twenty three year old in a suburb of Maine. The little bracelet in your grandpa’s attic has an inscription on it that is the password to the world’s entire nuclear arsenal. It is up to you to walk to the only hydraulic press in the world, located in Arizona, before the FBI finds the bracelet, kills you, and enslaves the suburb of Maine you currently live in

"Why are my parents suddenly trying to be my friend now that I'm an adult??" Is crazymaking but putting together "oh, because children aren't seen as fully human so they're acceptable to abuse in a way that I'm not anymore. It was never actually about me as a person it was about children being property" may or may not feel Better. Makes sense though lol. Lmao. Everyone get more youthlib now

[tlirsgender]

Like once you really understand Being A Minor as an axis of oppression & look at things through this framework a lot of really jarring things about the transition to adulthood start making sense. Like. Damn you guys told me there was something fundamentally wrong with me but it was just because I was a child this whole time? The fuck?

[trans-girl-nausicaa]

i just apolitically killed the king like i have no agenda or whatever im just the jester here but i stabbed him anyway LOL all the courtiers and advisors are trying really hard to figure out who did it LOL all of them wanted him dead but they dont know whose scheme it was so nobody can promulgate a coherent political maneuver based on the circumstances LOL just playing my lute #MyLute

Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively

I loved this visual so much I had to doodle it.

i love when people talk about media "normalizing: whatever their personal sexual bugbear is because i just think hey remember when game of thrones was the most popular tv show in the world for like eight years and somehow failed to normalize incest? but i mean maybe a twitter artist with 2,000 total followers is gonna tip the scales

[dewberrys-sillyblog]

My mother-in-law: now listen children - the birds will go quiet as the eclipse goes on

The eclipse: (goes on)

The birds: (go quiet)

One (1) Woodpigeon, continuously: HOOOO HOOOOO HOO. HU HOOOOO HU

(translated from Wood Pigeon): "You see, children, all the other birds have gone quiet as the eclipse goes on..."

I have to confess every time I see that "they fucked that old man to pieces" meme there's a very particular old man I'm picturing:

Context for those who haven't seen the film:

[prokopetz]

#i watched this. why don't i remember this part. what the fuck (via @secondhand-lions)

Anastasia (1997) has a pretty weird narrative structure in that, while Zombie Rasputin is critical to the film's prologue and climax, he's almost entirely immaterial to its actual plot. The audience knows about him, but none of the major characters do, including Anastasia herself, and all of his attempts to assassinate her either fizzle before she becomes aware of them or fail in ways that can be attributed to mundane agents. From the perspective of literally everyone with a speaking role other than the bat, he pops out of nowhere in the last five minutes of the film and starts trying to kill everyone with wizard bullshit, then promptly explodes.

(The stage musical adaptation actually leaves him out entirely, which was a controversial choice in certain circles, but basically doesn't affect the story at all.)

#negaverse experience: #first exposure to this movie was. I believe. on a tiny silent tv up in the corner of a kids shoe store. #this song was the entirety of my time kicking my heels waiting for my turn. #didn’t see the rest of it for many years. #was pretty weird to realize that the experience of this guy doesn’t really change much #when you watch the whole movie #anastasia #allocation of screen time was not don bluths best strength I don’t think (via @themountedperfumier)

One at times receives the impression that Don Bluth is as surprised as everyone else to discover how his films end.

Bro absolutely COOKED with this.

[ohnoitstbskyen]

If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.

It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.

It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.

This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.

[prokopetz]

The corollary of needing to be willing to frame arguments in terms of moral precepts you don't necessarily share is needing to be aware of subtext. Yes, it's easy to get a certain stripe of hyper-conservative folks to agree with anything you please by framing it in terms of opposition to Big Government, but a large part of that is because when you say "Big Government", what they hear is "Jews". You didn't hack their brain with magic words, you just didn't realise what you were saying!

after you read the poem “the woman dies” a lot of media makes you mad

trying to write a horror piece give me the first line go

My name is Mr. Scary Teeth and I've murder'd a great many humans using my teeth.

"You only get one family" is true, but not in the way that people who like to say that think it is. You only get one family, the first one is free. If that one sucks or it's just not a good match, you can get a new one but you're gonna have to find that one yourself.
