Hozier & Bear McCreary - Blood Upon the Snow (from God of War: Ragnarök)

#hozier #bear mccreary #god of war ragnarok #HOLY SHIT

Structurally, Happy Feet is a weird fucking movie.

Things just keep happening, there's "aliens", there's vaguely Hispanic penguins, Robin Williams is Doing weird stereotypical voices, all while Mumble serves as an allegory for ND. He got dropped by his dad?? idk man the world building is so strange!

I appreciate it's helped people who identify with Mumble and that's cool! And the animation is incredible!

Still a weird choppy movie tho. I can't help but cringe at the writing.

Today I learned about Histrionic Personality Disorder...

My mouth is dropping because it perfectly describes someone I used to know. Like holy fuck.

#a princess/victim mode when they aren't getting the attention they need #overly dramatic and using flowery language to attract #making up stories to attract #I'm beside myself right now like there's a term for it #it was described as the other side of the same coin for BPD but I'm processing how that might fit in #idk man information has come to light

I'm existing in this weird moment where OFMD brings me euphoria while also reminding me of the pain Hannibal left me with.

I miss Will Graham immensely.

It's all complicated in ways I can't even begin to describe.

This pirate show makes me lament what could have been, I think. And also makes me feel more complete and safe in myself. Complicated.

Idk it's late, I should be sleeping, im lost in memory and daydreams.

hot take: silent hills PT was literally a masterpiece of horror and i am still, two years later, fucking ASTOUNDED by every aspect of it like it is a damn TRAGEDY that it was cancelled because Kojima did more with one (1) hallway than 45768689 horror franchises did in their entire runs and thats just the tea

i posted this in 2018 and just rewatched a lets play 4 years later and i did not know that in 2019 they found out that the player model for lisa (the ghost of the woman who was killed) constantly tails very closely behind you for the entire game and all the sound effects and voiceovers emanate from her, which is why everything sounds so close and intense lmao. dudes just keep pulling fast ones on us with that bad boy

here’s the full video and context for what the link in the second reply is essentially parroting. and for the record lisa does not follow you “the whole time” only during a specific point until a certain criteria is met

Okay, but this is really important: Bruce Springsteen occupied this really weird place in music history. His songs were all from this pessimistic, nihilistic view of an America that had let him down:

Just like the anti-Vietnam War protest songs that we associate with the 1960s, or the early nihilism that spawned punk music in the 1970s. But he didn’t *sound* like a punk anarchist; he sounded like a country rock singer. When he released Born in the U.S.A. people completely misinterpreted (or possibly ignored) the lyrics in favor of the tone of the music.

Politicians used his music to promote their ‘Murica Yes! brand, and he had to literally explain that that was not what he was about. He’s over here asking when we’re going to have jobs and heathcare, not stanning the politicians who weren’t helping the people.

It was also kind of a big deal that he had an integrated band, because even as late as the 1980s music was still kind of segregated and MTV was straight up racist. They refused to play and promote black artists and then claimed that were no black artists in the first place. Michael Jackson’s record company had to threaten a boycott of their white artists to get MTV to play his Thriller video.

Plus, the first black/white interracial kiss on TV was in 1968 (OG Star Trek). Also it took us until the 70s to get sympathetic gay characters on screen, and the 90s to get gay characters to kiss onscreen. And all of those firsts were met with outrage.

So keep that in mind when you see Bruce Springsteen not just playing with an interracial band, but engaging in an interracial, gay kiss on stage repeatedly.

I used to think that Bruce and Clarence kissing onstage was exuberance, showmanship, and telling racist homophobes to fuck off. Like, they picked up a certain kind of audience and went “Racist homophobes? Not in our house!” And started the kissing then but then I actually looked it up and

It was a story where… we remade the city. We remade the city, shaping it into the kind of place where our friendship and our love for one another wouldn’t have been such an exceptional thing. - Bruce Springsteen

It wasn’t about showmanship or rejecting bigots or anything it was just. Damn right that was one of the loves of his life and damn right he was going to kiss him onstage

It gets me a little that Bruce has had a divorce, that he’s been married twice, but he loved Clarence for the rest of Clarence’s life and will presumably love him the rest of his own

Clemons said in one interview. “Bruce and I looked at each other and didn’t say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each other’s lives. He was what I’d been searching for.” In another version of the story, Clemons says “He looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love.”

I’m having some emotions about it!

“He was elemental in my life,“ Springsteen adds, “and losing him was like losing the rain.”

Not just! I love you pure and deep and true but! I am going to love you like that in front of the whole damn world!

We have fewer narratives about taking risks and making statements for platonic love rather than romantic and supposedly it would be easier to downplay this onstage than romance and! They refused! They fucking refused! In front of hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of years! In the spotlight, in word and deed, I love you!

God I’m not okay about it
