The Fair Unknown @thefairunknownson - Tumblr Blog

There's worse to come, folks. Strap in and stay strapped.

All news posts are stronger with receipts:

Eight people accused by the Justice Department of having ties to antifa have been sentenced to decades in federal prison over a shooting out

You can support imprisoned people by sending them letters of support and money to use for the commisary and phone calls. Being in prison is expensive. Don't write anything that would get them in trouble. Prisoners' mail is read by guards.

has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull

merlin lowkey has no reason to be in arthur’s court like he’s kind of been co-opted over the centuries into some sort of advisor character but that is simply not what is going on 90% of the time. he just shapeshifts into different people and tells horrible prophecies and gets trapped in some rocks and dies. no motive no method. helps no one. purely there to cause problems. rest in peace to the least helpful person of all time

we need to normalize kung fu masters saying shit like "our school doesn't use such techniques" and explaining their flaws instead of just calling them evil wrong and foolish because i'm fighting this demonic path guy right now and he's not seeming foolish

Anno Hideki

Long Interview – Part 1

I think that the work that attempts to fill up what is lacking is, in fact, what we call living.

～

The TV program that left behind so many puzzles even as it ended, Evangelion. Does Gendo really love Shinji? What are the Angels? And other such questions are inexhaustible, but, of course, what we, as JUNE, want to know first and foremost is why Kaworu and Shinji’s relationship turned out like that. Taking together the PR Manager, Sato, and the one who extended episode 24 to three hours long, Director Anno, this interview first compiles the (confidential) Kaworu and Shinji episode and the parts in which they tell us about the troubles that they had expressing the director’s intention.

[From the previous recording of Shousetsu JUNE of August 1996]

This is the full (sans footnotes which crashed Tumblr) translation from the Japanese original of Part 1 of Anno’s June Long Interview, recorded after the completion of the TV series run. There is another version floating around which is compilation of some of the previous translations posted here regarding the Kaworu Nagisa portions + a retranslation of the Chinese translation of the interview.

marxist-pedestrian

Listened to Drunk Walk Home by Mitski today. What is this song even about?? I was excited when I saw walk in the title only to be severely disappointed by the lack of any pedestrian activities. This just goes to show you how normalized pedestrian appropriation has become in our culture. Smh this is what I get for trusting a mainstream artist

TO THE PATRONS OF THIS THEATER, I APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING YOUR SCREENING OF INLAND EMPIRE BUT I DO NEED YOUR HELP WITH SOMETHING. THERE IS A MAN IN ROW E SEAT 7 WHO HAS BEEN GOOGLING "INLAND EMPIRE EXPLAINED" ON HIS PHONE WITH FULL BRIGHTNESS ON, DISTURBING OTHER VIEWERS IN HIS VICINITY. HE HAS NO LOVE FOR FILM AND JUDGING BY WHAT HE HAS GOOGLED HE THINKS THAT ALL MOVIES ARE PUZZLES THAT HE HAS TO SOLVE LIKE THIS IS LOST OR SOME SHIT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN UNUSUAL REQUEST, BUT I WANT YOU TO REMOVE THIS MAN FROM THE THEATER AND POSSIBLY KILL HIM. WHEN HE IS GONE, YOUR SCREENING WILL RESUME. YOUR PAL, DAVID LYNCH
