looked a cool artist i found and instead of her actual art the first result google showed me was AI art made with her work. i hate it here!!!!!!!

[remnantglow]

well anyway. my discovery of the day is the art of Jeffrey Catherine Jones! she was a trans woman who painted a huge amount of fantasy & scifi cover art for books and magazines, among other things :)

critical levels of best freind brotherisms already happening here

okay, i need to ask. what is the starting point for the oasis obsessions? how does it work? what is the lore?

The basic lore: Cain and Abel have been reincarnated with all the epic drama that entails but the monkey paw curling inwards is that this time they’re brought back as the codependent inbred-looking Mancunian Neanderthals who sang Wonderwall. The narrative coherence in their lives is insane and they’ve got such a bad a case of observable emotional incest that we might as well do away with the textbook definition entirely and just show their faces instead. The older one is a deranged control freak who hides his lust for men and sensitive soul through positioning himself as the levelheaded brother and tells lies so elaborate they come back around to revealing all the secrets he’d rather keep hidden. The younger one is a loudmouth leghumping serial cheater with his heart on his sleeve and is the human personification of that slackjawed face guys make when they lean in for a kiss. If Fleetwood Mac was toxic Oasis is a Chernobyl elephant’s foot. They’re soulmates and it’s their (and everyone else’s) problem forever.

A good starting point for more is the primer on their relationship can be found here and is a tip-of-the iceberg view of their weirdness. What got me into Oasis was reading that, and then watching the documentary about them, Supersonic (2016), which ends at their height in ‘96, followed by their extremely fraught and dramatic MTV Unplugged performance which occurred immediately after.

I think those are good starting point because it sort of gives their history + shows off the fraught nature of their dynamic while also having something that shows off the basics just how weird about each other they are. After that there’s tons of books about them, interviews, print media, more documentaries, tweets to read, etc. that really just give a really crazy picture, but really it’s up to you, because there’s a lot of ways to engage with whatever is going on. And every day there’s something new being learned or found out, it truly never ends.

I was never into RPF before this so also didn’t know where to start, but those 3 things are what really got me into Oasis. Happy rabbit hole-ing!

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

[canthaveshitingotham-crucified]

you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling

Renaming is hot. I shouldn’t have to justify myself here. It just is. Being told by someone that you should refer to yourself by a new name is hot. Someone holding the keystone to your identity and changing it to their desires is really really hot

[neechees]

Oh I see... you think this has nothing to do with you? And you select, I don't know, that boho chic cowboy core getup for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you're different and alternative. But what you don't know is that that style is not truly bohemian, its not Western, its Native American. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that it was Southwestern tribes who originated the "Western" silver & turquoise jewelry, and the rug patterns used for horse saddles. And I think it was the Plains and Woodlands tribes wasnt it? Who beaded their tanned hide jackets with florals and fringed edges & beaded the brims of their hats & added Eagle feathers. And Soon Navajo Saddle blankets started appearing in four major saddlery catalogues, then filtered down through the runway, to the department stores, then trickled on down to the tragic internet trend where you no doubt fished it out of some White owned store. However, that fashion represents millions of dollars and countless styles appropriated traditional Indigenous fashion, and its sort of comical how you think you've made a choice that exempts you from a legacy of colonialism when in fact, you're wearing a fashion that was selected for you by the Native people of Turtle Island.

[neechees]

I just realized bc of several ppl pointing out that the character holding the belts in the background really (& accidentally) adds to the point since its obviously modeled after Southwestern Native American silverwork

It’s so funny how every coworker has said Assad is intimidating and almost scary when he’s in Armand-mode

And then you see him with Eric and he’s giggling and skipping to him

[femgirlfriend]

im so happy for you and your old balding sugar daddy work husband with years in the theater industry who's going to give you opportunities im serious.

[femgirlfriend]

ive always liked assad he has the sweet soul of a reincarnated deer who died on the side of a highway and woke up in the body of a british millennial gay guy who's into theater and he's been given the hardest role on this damn show basically everyone hates him skyler white style but he's excited and passionate nonetheless. and he deserves something for it he really deserves a little something let him have some fun
