I just wanted to share this article about Palestine's right to revolt and why it is important that we support it. It also has sources embedded in the text that debunk misinformation about them and Hamas. I implore everyone to read it and spread this information around.

[el-shab-hussein]

Always remember that Palestine was explicitly granted the right to armed resistance by the United Nations, against the zionist occupation. The article mentions the U.N. enshrining that right for occupied and colonized people, but the U.N. also explicitly named Palestine in the resolution, as well as Namibia and Zimbabwe who were also fighting against apartheid and illegal occupation.

Given recent events (and less recent frankly), it may behoove everyone to read up on the history of the Blue Line.

I had to write YEARS of posts about British Clownfall and South Korea just straight up speed ran theirs a mere seven minutes longer than it takes to watch Wicked

[aspiring-weird-old-man]

I literally just got back from seeing Wicked what's going on??

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

Oh, well, so as the pre-movie ads were playing, Korea's desperately unpopular president decided he didn't like his fellow party creeps getting impeached for crimes and his shitty budget not being approved, so he threw a spectacular temper tantrum, accused all opposition party politicians of being North Korea sympathisers trying to overthrow democracy, and DECLARED MARTIAL LAW.

<nobody-liked-that.jpeg>

Even his own party opposed him doing this, which tells you a lot about the staggering stupidity of this move.

NOW! Martial law can be annulled by a majority vote in the National Assembly, but part of the terms of martial law mean that political activities are banned to prevent such a vote taking place. The minimum number for a majority is 190. So, the stage becomes set - all parties are now desperate to get 190 total members into the Assembly, while President Yoon Suk-Yeol is now desperate to keep them out.

About an hour into you watching the film Wicked, the military tried to lock down the National Assembly building and disperse protesters who gathered in front of it. Soldiers tried to gain entry, but were humiliatingly blocked by party officials who sprayed them with fire extinguishers. Instead they decided to therefore block entry into the building, to keep 190 (or more) people from voting.

As you watched the film Wicked move into its third act, soldiers tried to move into the crowd of protesters, and were politely but firmly denied. Here is footage of an embarassed soldier being rotated and repelled by the crowd.

Meanwhile, Democratic Party members Lee Jae-myung and Lee Seong-yoon, blocked by the army, literally climbed over a five foot fence to get into the National Assembly so they could go and vote.

Finally, as you watched the credits of the film Wicked roll, the 190th necessary member brushed off twigs and staggered into the chamber, and so the vote was immediately called rather than waiting a single minute longer. The vote to annul martial law took place and was passed 190-0. It was completely unanimous, including members of the ruling People Power Party.

Martial law ended 2 hours and 48 minutes after it began.

Protesters are now calling for the impeachment of Yoon Suk-yeol. Military generals are milling about going "Whaaat? Martial law? Oh dear me no, I knew nothing about that at all, I have no idea how three military helicopters and a troop of soldiers got to the National Assembly so fast..." We shall see how soon the clowns fall.

So. That happened.

I was thinking abt my criticism that movie elphaba is too normie. maybe thats more common in different musical versions of Elphaba idk. Is that a thing, is she Just A Normal Girl and its tragic shes green bc people dont see how Normal Girl she is? I dont trust my memory. i need to know

[orkbutch]

just clocked that im talking like a pretentious asshole rn because i feel really confident in my judgements about Wicked as a subject and it brings out a very egotistical part of me. Thats not a bad thing though, the egotistical part of me gets all the creative stuff done, so. I'm trying to accept my ego these days and use it for good instead of feeling insecure and bad about it, which is what I've always done, which is just as self centred but in a stupider way. I will absolutely be delusionally confident about my own artistic skill and taste if it helps me create whatever bullshit yknow

[orkbutch]

Do you happen to have any original writing or are you more of a visual artist these days?

I have original writing attempts but nothing near finished, mostly erotic horror short stories I've started or things to flesh out the lore of larger projects for myself. Definitely more visual and performance oriented lately.

[orkbutch]

just saw wicked. absolutely exhausted. will share thoughts once my vital energies are restored

[orkbutch]

someone get my smelling salts or maybe a nosaphed . anyway it was entertaining, i won't have a conclusive opinion on most elements until i see the 2nd part probably, i dislike that they made it 2 extremely long movies. make it two normal movies or make it one extremely long movie and edit your movie so its better.

also tho if it isnt gay at the end then its queerbaiting garbage belong in the dumpster

[orkbutch]

actually i can articulate my one immediate criticism pretty easily now. if u loved the movie's adaption of the characters look away, i have no desire to spoil the fun for people, im just too invested in these goyls

elphaba is too hot/rizzed up in the wrong way bc of how she was played/directed. didnt buy that she was that insecure, which is a really bizarre way to play/direct elphaba. wasn't weird or distinctly awkward, also a very odd choice.

the things that WERE expressions of her insecurity and trauma werent very coherent. shes defensive and angry and witty, but she cries gracefully and solemnly in front of her bullies. she has this uncontrollable emotional depth that expresses itself through powerful magic, but shes always more collected and understated than it feels like she should be at her vital moments. Why is she so stable and reserved? Shes meant to be unstable, and as emotionally immature as Glinda. Very sympathetic yes, loveable and who we're rooting for, but especially when approaching Defying Gravity shes meant to be on the brink of realising her greatness is in embracing all the things that have caused her to be scorned in the past. Not just her skin, but her exceptional, boldly weird instincts that have come from her uniquely challenging life. Being green isolated her, made her different from most other people in how she thinks and exists socially, and that helps her see injustice and outmaneuver her enemies where Glinda and others don't.

But movie Elphaba is not weird. She is actually very normal and likeable, like, normie likeable. ????? Elphaba??? Where is her autistic rizz?? This is just regular rizz. Shes meant to at least be weird in a traumatised defensive way but she really doesn't come off that way to me. It feels like she was directed to pull back on a lot of what makes Elphaba a distinct personality.

Also, her big trauma healing moment of seeing herself as a child felt out of place because it wasn't set up properly - child her should have been shown at least one other time before Defying Gravity - and she never acted childishly, which she absolutely should have for at least ONE of her moments of highest distress if youre going to do this Child Self thing imo.

okay i lost steam. those are my thoughts

[orkbutch]

My favorite thing about the wicked resurgence is getting to rec your fics to everyone every chance I get. Shame Machine be upon ye

I'm glad my fics have stood the test of time, though I also find them kind of super embarrassing ngl. SM especially because its ironically, very shameless in how revealing it is of all my issues and damage at the time
