okay but what is she melting the wax with????

[marvelous-goose]

probably her hands – the wax casing of babybell cheeses is pretty soft & malleable. it looks like she broke off a small chunk, warmed it between her fingers, set it on the letter flap, and pushed it down flat with the tip of a mechanical pencil. (you can see the small, round holes from where she pushed it in a little too hard.)

i hate the misconception that millennials (and younger generations) don’t care about outdoor activities like hiking, gardening, etc, or nature as a whole, and that all they care about is their phones. so many young people have told me they wish they could do an activity they loved and enjoyed in their youth, but their schedule is packed and when they get home they’re exhausted (and for friends who work late, the sun has been down for hours). young people care, but young people are tired

Tom Hardy and Riz Ahmed are reading IGN comments and Riz read the comment that said “ Venom vs. Predator vs. Alien “ and Tom’s immediate reactions was to say “GANG BANG” and then make a face of REGRET™

he sure as hell is one of us

Everyone is talking about Tom Hardy’s regret face, but no one is talking about Riz Ahmed’s “you’re absolutely right” face.

The “Necromancy is evil“ we see in most fantasy worlds stems from a christian view of having to honor the body after death in a certain way to ensure the soul’s safety in the afterlife. And while I encourage you to explore societies that don’t see necromancy as evil, I also encourage you to explore societies that see necromancy as evil for different reasons.

Drow might believe that after death, your body belongs to Lolth and must be fed to spiders. Reanimating a body means stealing from Lolth and must therefore be punished.

A Zoroastrian inspired society might believe that with death, evil starts infesting the body, so dead bodies must be kept away from the community, and reanimating them keeps them in the community and is therefore bad.

[pomrania]

Ooh, sounds fun! Let me come up with some more.

necromancy is associated with the culture’s traditional enemies, and is the same level of frowned-upon as using certain symbology or weapons or languages etc which are also linked to those enemies

once someone has died, it is severely disrespectful to look upon their corpse, so anything which is VISIBLE as being an undead is Very Bad, because it means you can see that person’s dead body

the reanimated dead have historically been used to spread plague and do other biological warfare type stuff; if you create something like that, a) gross b) unsanitary c) this is interpreted as the intent to commit war crimes

[135weirdos-deactivated20250128]

A society of druids that uses the dead to grow sacred gardens, and reanimation deprives the dead of their part in the cycle

A society where each plot in the cemetery is used to grow vegetables/herbs for community use, to ensure that everyone is fed and the dead are visited/remembered. Necromancy deprives the community of the food that person would have grown and disconnects the dead person from their community

A society obsessed with history/recordskeeping/memory, and necromancy prevents the dead from being properly catalogued

A totalitarian society wherein the citizens are property of the state and necromancy is stealing

Death is nirvana and reanimation deprives the dead of this experience

The dead are ritually eaten by friends/family to allow them to live on, and reanimation ends their time prematurely

The finest jewelry is made of the bones of the dead, so there’s a lucrative trade in grave robbing, and the bone jewelry lobby has convinced the public that necromancy is worse than the expensive jewelry made from the bones

[pomrania]

when someone dies, their death is considered a “sacrifice” to the deity who presides over their cause of death; how exactly you deal with the body, that doesn’t matter so much, but USING the body to your OWN benefit, that’s an insult to the god of warfare / disease / ocean / etc. Like stealing the offerings from a shrine.

[eclipseyeger]

~~a culture that recognizes the effort and emotional strain their people go through in life, and when someone dies they throw a huge wake and celebrate their break from life before joining their god/reincarnating/guarding something/etc.  Reanimating someone or trying to bring them back to life is seen as a huge taboo because it’s like asking someone who constantly works and finally gets a time of rest to go straight back to work before they’ve recovered.  Except it’s the hardest job/adventure ever.  For the same reason, motherhood, illness, leadership, recreation, personal growth, and winter are all highly venerated concepts/times in the culture, as times of rest or things in need of a period of rest eventually.  To honor these times as sabbats is commanded by one of their gods after a great catastrophe. The whole community is involved with these things, and so too are is the whole community involved with death and picking up the physical or emotional slack of the person who died.  If permission is given from the person who is being reanimated, then maybe maaaaaybe it’s ok, but that’s only happened once when a guardian was once needed, and it’s pretty hard to verify if it really was the person.  

[pomrania]

reanimation is seen as asserting “ownership” over that being; so while it’s okay to have an undead animal (so long as it wasn’t someone ELSE’S animal, as that would be theft), reanimating a HUMAN counts as “slavery”

necromancy is considered “lazy”; like, dude, do the work yourself, or pay/convince someone else to do it, what kind of loser has to resort to CORPSES

only the divine can raise the dead; reanimating the dead is a poor mockery of the gods’ ability, and you are liable to be punished for your hubris, and that kind of punishment tends to have a lot of collateral damage so it’s best for mortals to solve the problem before the gods take notice

[syntax-forest]

- There was a huge necromancy fad a while back and now it’s just kind of tacky? Like if you’re gonna animate things with magic to do your bidding try to be a little creative at least.

- You can reanimate a person’s body if you have their consent, but it’s difficult to reliably get in contact with the deceased so proving consent is difficult after the fact. You can get written consent but there needs to be a certain number of witnesses and a lawyer needs to write up the contract and it’s really more trouble than it’s worth. People start to wonder why you’re so set on animate corpses that you’re going through all that legal trouble.

- The town used to let people raise the dead willy-nilly but something went catastrophically awry. You’ll also get the side-eye if you cast fireball.

[datasoong47]

My conculture believes that the dead must be cremated quickly after death, in order to free the souls for reincarnation - if the body is not cremated but allowed to rot, the souls risk being trapped in the body and dying. For that reason, the most heinous crimes are punished with not just execution, but the denial of cremation - death of both body and soul. So, necromancy would be seen as risking the destruction of the souls - or, alternately, of imprisoning the souls, since an undead body may be able to preserve the souls’ existence, but they cannot control the body, and thus would be effectively imprisoned

[plotbunny-hutch]

In a community with a high rate of child mortality, dead adults are thought to be the caretakers of dead children; resurrecting an adult is seen as robbing a dead child of their parent.

There’s nothing wrong with reanimating the dead to live an unlife of leisure, as companionship to a living person, but any labor done by a dead person is viewed with disdain or stigma—basically, classism against working-class necromancers, while wealthy necromancers get a pass. 

A dead person is buried with a highly personal artifact which tells their entire life story and holds their secrets, such as a tapestry-shroud or scroll, which only the dead person and their nearest relative has ever seen; reanimating the dead is seen as a HUGE invasion of privacy because a) You SAW their SECRET THING and b) Where exactly is their secret thing kept while they do undead things????

The culture believes that the dead come back in dreams to deliver prophetic warnings to their descendants; the voices of the dead are therefore considered inherently prophetic, which is awkward when you’re undead and trying to go about your day.

Death is an integral function of time in this culture and/or magical system; reversing the natural course of death risks reversing the natural course of time, halting the round of seasons or freezing the growth of crops in the fields. 

This culture is highly informed/stratified by gender and the dead are considered to be genderless, therefore they have no place/role in the community and nobody knows how to treat them or speak to them.

It’s not that reanimating the dead in itself is an issue—but it *is* proof that the necromancer has done some other taboo act as part of the reanimation process (like animal sacrifice or sth). Nobody can look at the reanimated person without remembering that, oh shit, somebody did that gross thing. So having a reanimated corpse around is not so much taboo as really, REALLY awkward.

[solosprincess]

Not to get emo on main but you ever think about how the troop sang about their dreams of finding “a girl worth fighting for”, and they think their girl worth fighting for is one of romance, but the song abruptly comes to a halt when they find a different girl worth fighting for.

A tiny girl that had been killed at the hands of the Huns. A child too weak, too small to have any chance of withstanding the murderous invaders. That is their girl worth fighting for.

[xxstar-bluesxx]

This is fucking horrific

[gay-jesus-probably]

It’s also worth noting that ‘A Girl Worth Fighting For’ is the last song in the movie. Up until here, it’s a fun movie, and the imminent invasion feels like it’s just there to keep the plot moving, and to provide a little bit of drama to spice things up. None of the soldier’s are quite taking this seriously yet; sure, Mulan wanted to save her father from the draft, and on some level she was aware that he would die if he went to war, but beyond that she’s interested in not being caught, and not shaming her family. Her motives are good, but they’re entirely self centered. All the other soldiers are more or less in the same boat - they want to get tougher, they want to impress girls, they want to be cool soldiers. Shang’s easily the most serious of the bunch at first, and even then it’s just because training bad soldiers will reflect poorly on him, and important people are paying attention.

The abrupt ending of ‘A Girl Worth Fighting For’ is the wake up call. The soldiers and the audience get slapped in the face with the realization of what’s really at stake here. China is being invaded. Villages are burning, civilians are dying, and this isn’t going to stop until the country is conquered or the invaders are defeated. This is not a fun musical, this is a major crisis.

Mulan is such a good movie for so many reasons, but the abrupt tone shift is such a major reason why. It’s an excellent commentary on the reality of war, and it being a kids movie just meant they had to make their point without showing any actual gore, which I’d honestly say makes it that much more poignant.

[taraljc]

That moment, when they come over the rise and see the razed village is one of the best scenes in film. Period. Somehow, instead of giving me tonal whiplash, it took my breath away, and that’s one fuck of a balancing act.

[writing-prompt-s]

Your church-going, God-worshipping sister adopted a small child and you’re excited to see them. But when you do, the child is a menace. They’re throwing things everywhere, setting furniture on fire with seemingly nothing, chanting in Latin to summon demons, but the weirdest thing is that your sister doesn’t seem to mind.

[vacantmall]

“You literally adopted the antichrist, Anne. What the fuck.”

“Yeah, I knew when I saw him at the orphanage. I figured if the kid had some decent fucking parenting that we could avoid the whole ‘Revelations’ shite. Nasty business, that.”

George, who’s name has been kindly changed from Damien, approaches his new mother with a huge spider in his hands. It promptly bursts into flames.

“Good job, love. Now go find the rest.” George’s face makes no expression, but his eyes shine when he recieves a pat on the head for his efforts.

[talieclandestine]

As the months go by, George seems to settle down. He adjusts to school, friends, and the positive reinforcement Anne gives him. She encourages the good he does, even though the powers he uses aren’t “good”. When she gets calls from the school, it’s about a rambunctious boy that won’t sit still. Not a destroyer of the world and innocence.

It’s at Christmas dinner, that you let slip your amazement to your mother. How good Anne is for him and how he’s improved a lot. Still summoning hellhounds for games of fetch, though.

“Oh, he’ll forget how to do that when he falls in love the first time,” Your mother laughs, smiling wide.

“How do you know that,” you ask bewildered.

“Because, you did.”

[solarcat]

okay so someone please write the story of the family of super-low-key holy warriors who have made it their mission to locate the antichrist in every generation (because when one gets spoiled they try AGAIN) and adopt them and love them into not being the antichrist anymore, thus perpetually delaying the apocalypse
