the thing is, also... every discussion about Whether The MCU Is Garbage or Is Disney Irredeemably Evil or Has Star Wars Gone On Too Long or Why Does It Feel Like There's Been Just Three Shows On American TV For The Past 3 Decades inevitably ends up at "hey but don't shame people for wanting to have fun and escape the continuous nightmare of late capitalism for 2 hours a night" and like. fair. being effortlessly entertained is a valid desire that deserves to be fulfilled. but the thing is. and I really don't wanna be That Guy but. if you're coming back home from your soul-crushing corporate job into your alienated nuclear household, tired from a busy day of doing some bullshit to make a living, and you feel dead inside, and your idea of escape is to tune into the next installment of something that's not really cinema as much as like, a long serialised commercial for the fast fashion items with the popular character of the month, then I'm sorry bro but you're not really going anywhere. you're not escaping, you're sinking deeper in. and look. it's your god given right to watch schlocky TV and then go read fanfic about it. but if you're wondering why all this dazzling entertainment still leaves you feeling so empty you just wanna scream and scream and scream, then you might actually have an acute case of going too long without consuming any media that has an intent beyond draining your money and time and a formula beyond regurgitating what sold best last year

People have argued this subject for as long as media has existed at all, and for most of my life I absolutely felt that it was just pretentious of people to complain about movies getting dumbed down or soulless...but they still had a point and it really has gone far enough in the last few years that there’s no denying it anymore, you can see how fast Disney is churning things out, how much they’ve streamlined it down to a reusable formula, how careful they are to appeal to as many demographics as possible and how they have all the merchandising ready to go from day one. So yes, every loud-mouthed movie critic was right, Hollywood mainstream cinema has steadily deteriorated into a mind-numbing cash grab and there’s finally little room to deny it or argue that it’s harmless, because it also means a whole lot of people overworked, underpaid, under-credited and artistically stifled at every level of production.

forever removing “agree to disagree” from my vocabulary now i end all my arguments with “live with what makes you comfortable but know that ultimately you’re not telling yourself the truth” and that’s on me being sick and tired <3 we’re burning bridges today

These are not only legitimate, but 179 of them were made by the real, actual Jim Henson Studios.

Henson's pre-21st century humor was ahead of its time, and perhaps ahead of FCC rules.

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

cursed-and-haunted

In case you're curious here's what I mean.

Renaissance(distinct lines, stability and the individual man):

Baroque (bold, chaotic, dramatic):

Romantic(romanticize the simple hard working life):

Do you see the difference?

current level of insomnia: tried to make a salad and just fuckin. poured salad all over my kitchen floor

meangirlnurse

for whatever reason i thought the most efficient way to open a bag of salad was to hold it out in front of me in one hand and then stab it with a fork and tear like an animal eviscerating prey and then i just stood there and watched an endless salad avalanche pour onto the floor for like 30 seconds before i understood what was happening and why

for the record this is exactly how it went

Emily Carroll

I reblog this every time I see it, because the part that makes this so horrific to me, is that the room is a direct callback to Goodnight Moon. It takes this memory of safety and security and turns it directly upside down and I love it.

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

hey so Emily Carroll is my absolute favorite horror artist and her stories are some of the greatest things i’ve ever had the ghastly pleasure to read. many of her comics are free online, such as the classic His Face All Red

There’s a lot of misinformation going around about the Covid-19 vaccines, so now is a good time to bring this back.

transgenderhelp

Quick science note: of the Covid vaccines currently approved/pending that I’ve seen, none contain live or weakened viruses.

There’s not a whole virus in this particular vaccine; it’s just a little strip of genetic code that cues your body to make one of the identifying proteins of the COVID-19 virus. Your body uses up all these instructions, produces some marker proteins, realizes these proteins are foreign, and produces immunity against them. So whenever a virus that has this spike protein invades, your body already recognizes it and has a defense prepared.
