the phrase "a matter unrelated to the revolution" pops into my head so often

[vincentpriceofficial]

#why did you break mutuals w that person? a matter completely unrelated to the revolution

sorry i just realized this post is like ungoogle-ably niche. this is the phrase robespierre used in his privates notes of dirt on his political rival danton when he said danton accused their mutual friend and colleague camille desmoulins of (paraphrased) "a private and shameful vice, but a matter completely unrelated to the revolution" (the point being danton is an asshole bc he was talking shit about his good friend behind his back). seared into my brain of course bc this is the single shred of primary evidence from which hilary mantel wove her beautiful webs of bisexual psychosexual depravity

I wonder if “we have to torture this special character. in the lab facility. with secret science.” is an interest all 12-year-old children share or were we just the generation exposed to Maximum Ride

[phantomrose96]

You’re right. How could I forget to credit anime for its role in putting the special character in the secret torture facility (for science).

[sympathischeufos]

Genuine question: Isn't this just Bond villainy and/or medieval torture dungeon? Or what kind of facility are we talking about?

[phantomrose96]

The Facility is a critically important part here. See it’s a Science Facility. It’s run by a very shady clandestine organization, which is incredibly powerful. They’re maybe part of the government, or if not the government then something Illuminati-like.

As such The Facility is very high tech, and likely buried underground or hidden somewhere no normal person can access. The Torture being done is for Science, which the Facility is for. It’s all scientists in lab coats doing the torture. There is so much lab equipment and probably a lot of devices hooked up to the special character which will beep and go off the charts when the special character has a violent mind explosion. This part is important.

[phantomrose96]

A lot of really good mentions in the notes here

Mewtwo

Secrets of Nimh

Wolverine

Akira

Elfen Lied

Shadow the Hedgehog

And a special mention to the couple of people identifying that a 12-year-old stuck in school all day is, perhaps, in a way, a special character being tortured in the science facility.

you might think the worst type of adaptation that can happen to a fandom is a bad one. but in truth, i find that's rarely the case. usually the world at large doesn't pay attention, the fandom unites around the piece's badness, and otherwise continues along as usual. hell, if the adaptation is so-bad-it's-good then it really can evolve into quite a nice treat, once the sting has worn off.

no, what you actually gotta look out for is the mediocre adaptations. the pretty but soulless adaptations. the technically-competent-but-misses-the-point adaptations. because there will be enough folks who think that the new Adaptation is Good, Actually, and no matter how politely you word your disagreement, they will resent you for saying as much.

Trying to find an old tumblr post I used to see a lot.

It started with someone listing "places with uncanny energy," like gas stations on a road trip, empty movie theaters, etc.

Then someone reblogged it and said those are called "liminal spaces," defining liminal as in-between, neither one thing nor another.

It was the first time I'd seen the term "liminal" applied to places like that, and it's driving me crazy, I want to find and put a date on it so bad.

[ieattaperecorders]

NEVER MIND, I FOUND IT!!!

[ieattaperecorders]

Holy shit I just realized:

Tomorrow (July 4th, 2026) is the 10 year anniversary of the-crepes-of-wrath's comment, which:

Predates the 2020 spike in interest by four years

Predates the original backrooms post, and the the creation of r/liminalspaces by three years

Predates the earliest mention that KnowYourMeme attributes to Twitter by two years

I'm pretty sure this is the moment the term "liminal spaces" was attached to this sort of imagery, and it's TEN YEARS OLD TOMORROW!

LIMINAL SPACES TURN TEN TOMORROW! CELEBRATE BY GETTING LOST IN AN ABANDONED MALL!

The stunning Echium wildpretii, also known as Tower of jewels!

Also known as red tajinaste, it's endemic to the Canary Islands, and found mainly around Mount Teide in Tenerife.

They are apparently quite large.
