I have to confess every time I see that "they fucked that old man to pieces" meme there's a very particular old man I'm picturing:

Context for those who haven't seen the film:

#i watched this. why don't i remember this part. what the fuck (via @secondhand-lions)

Anastasia (1997) has a pretty weird narrative structure in that, while Zombie Rasputin is critical to the film's prologue and climax, he's almost entirely immaterial to its actual plot. The audience knows about him, but none of the major characters do, including Anastasia herself, and all of his attempts to assassinate her either fizzle before she becomes aware of them or fail in ways that can be attributed to mundane agents. From the perspective of literally everyone with a speaking role other than the bat, he pops out of nowhere in the last five minutes of the film and starts trying to kill everyone with wizard bullshit, then promptly explodes.

(The stage musical adaptation actually leaves him out entirely, which was a controversial choice in certain circles, but basically doesn't affect the story at all.)

#negaverse experience: #first exposure to this movie was. I believe. on a tiny silent tv up in the corner of a kids shoe store. #this song was the entirety of my time kicking my heels waiting for my turn. #didn’t see the rest of it for many years. #was pretty weird to realize that the experience of this guy doesn’t really change much #when you watch the whole movie #anastasia #allocation of screen time was not don bluths best strength I don’t think (via @themountedperfumier)

One at times receives the impression that Don Bluth is as surprised as everyone else to discover how his films end.

#anastasia (1997)#grigori rasputin #body horror #don bluth #hayao miyazaki

He's kind of like Hayao Miyazaki in that regard, if all the making of documentaries of Miyazaki's Ghibli movies are any indication. I'm pretty sure there isn't a single making of documentary that doesn't have a moment, either at the start, halfway through, or close to the end of production of the movie, where Miyazaki on camera is caught admitting that he has absolutely no idea how he's going to finish the movie.

It's kind of impressive in a way. Granted, Don Bluth's film catalog is an almost 50/50 example of why you shouldn't do that, but one does have to admit, it does make for a memorable film either way. Maybe not good, maybe not even serviceable, but still, certainly memorable

alright so Pangur got her claw stuck while rolling over in bed, and then just GAVE UP, which led to her being horizontally flattened in a way that gives her impossible girth and...... I'll share, but just know that it's an optical illusion. please. I swear to god she's a healthy weight. I mean, a little chubby, but not like this.

so for some reason you have all crucified her

cryptotheism

Do you think that Madame Blavatsky would be displeased to know that she inspired Nazi occultists?

I've been mulling this over. I'm of two minds.

She was very racist, and would absolutely have been sympathetic to the Nazis. But she was also a sharp PR mind, and she would likely jump ship as soon as they became unpopular.

I think knowing how it all ended, she would be pretty horrified at how it all turned out. She wouldn't become a savitri devi style esoteric hitlerist, that's not blavatsky.

I think she would average out to be one of those postwar sympathizers that was like "Nazism was such a good idea but Hitler was just the wrong guy." Or "Nazism was a noble concept and they did what they felt they had to defend their homeland against the jews. Isn't it tragic how it all ended?"

cryptotheism

Also she would have been a zionist. A theoretical postwar blavatsky kind of definitionally can't be blavatsky, but this theoretical woman would have been an arch zionist.

sinningsleepingandshitposting

Would Blavatsky have been an arch zionist because she'd subscribe to the European "Good, let's dump all our Jewish ex-neighbors here in the Middle East so that we don't have to deal with a constant reminder of us/our other neighbors being active participants in a genocide" model of post-war non-Jewish Zionism

Or would she have been an arch zionist because she subscribed to the American (Protestant) "We have to have all the Jews of the World move to Palestine Israel and establish a Jewish ethnostate/apartheid state, otherwise one of the key requirements for our interpretation of the Christian End Times and Jesus's Second Coming can't happen¹" model of non-Jewish Zionism?

I'm of a mind that she'd be more into the European model of post-war non-Jewish Zionism, with a hefty dose of "If we concentrate all the world's Jews in Palestine, we can thus keep them trapped there indefinitely." Much like how Israel laid siege to Gaza after the Second Intifada (minus the keeping them trapped there indefinitely part re Israel and Gaza)

But then I'm not that familiar with how Blavatsky felt about the more, let's be kind and say "adventurously creative" aspects of American Protestantism, for all I know she'd have been just peachy with it too

(¹Bearing in mind that in the back of the Christian Zionist mind is always the thought: "Of course once Jesus comes back, the Jews will obviously finally convert, but if they don't Jesus will condemn them to Hell, and then we, the 'True People of God' can take our rightful inheritance over the Promised Land")

cottoncandylesbo

hey y'all, i hate to ask for help like this but my job didn't pay me again, and that puts me in a really difficult situation financially. i could really use some help... my bank account was already in the negatives and i have so many bills coming in that i suddenly can't pay. please help me if you can, anything would help enormously. thank you all so much.

Support Candy

i'm in the red $150 with a $70 credit card bill that needs to be paid, so about $220 will allow me to tough it out until i can get the money i'm owed. anything more than that will go toward groceries, gas, and medication.

$125 so far thank you all for the help my bank account is almost out of the red!!

Literally every episode of My Cat from Hell

Neatly summarized as: people not knowing how to properly take care of cats

impuretale

The episodes that don’t conform to this formula are also always the most interesting. These situations include:

1) I Didn’t Know My Cat Had PTSD and Has Gone Blind.

2) Your Cats Fight Because One of Them Doesn’t Know How to Speak Cat, and They’re Both Kinda Mad/Confused About It.

3) Your Cat Sprays Everywhere? Get Them Fixed. Surprise Twist: They Were Fixed But It Was a Botched Operation.

4) We’re Going to Rescue 50+ Kittens, Take Them to Vegas, and Adopt Them All To Loving Homes.

5) This is Not a Cat. This is a Dog.

This is one of the least dogs I’ve ever seen

I would like to apologize to #5 for laughing

#5 feels like either A) the first successful crossbreeding of a cat and dog in world history, B) a dog breed specifically bred to fill the same ecological niche that cats do, or C) a cat breed specifically bred to fill one of the ecological/human social niches that dogs do

#ice #tsa #final fantasy viii

...I'm reminded, funnily enough, of how in Final Fantasy 8, there are multiple military academies called Gardens, where students take field tests in active combat zones. In Balamb Garden, once a student reaches age 15, they can apply to join Balamb Garden's Private Military Contractor organization, SeeD. If they can become inducted into SeeD by their 20th birthday, they serve a tour of duty or more as mercenaries. Which meant that often, civilians could potentially run into barely 18 year old kids serving as mercenaries in a paramilitary force. Acting either as soldiers or even as regular security

I can't help but think what I'm experiencing right now, seeing these technically-legal-adults-yet-still-so-obviously-kids, serving as the ICE agent personal gestapo of a rabidly deteriorating, syphilitic pedophile would-be-king, is what those civilians in the world of Final Fantasy 8 must have felt when they saw freshly graduated SeeD mercenaries. Freshly minted in their paramilitary uniforms, with the youngest ranging anywhere from 15 to 20 years old

A deeply, deeply surreal feeling, with heavily conflicting emotions

So the Catholic Church is making the case for burning Peter Thiel at the stake

Is it because he's gay or because of his heretical views about the Antichrist?

#roman catholic church #peter thiel #heresy

Surprisingly, it's because of Thiel using American Evangelical Protestant ideas about the Antichrist and The End Times (think the Left Behind series of novels) to "accelerate the decline of liberal democracy to make it easier for his companies to operate."

Basically, Thiel was raised in an Evangelical Christian home, which more times than not is outright apocalyptic and accelerationist in its aims to either carve out of the American Empire an Evangelical Christian theocracy, OR actively push the whole world to the brink of collapse

Why global collapse? Because their warped view and interpretation of the final book of the New Testament/Christian Bible, the Book of Revelation, tells them that the world MUST be brought to the point of outright collapse before their idea of The Second Coming of Jesus Christ can happen

Thiel is opportunistically using those apocalyptic accelerationist beliefs to push for his desired end goal: the replacement of liberal democracy with technofeudal corporate autocracies, preferably with tech corporations taking the place of the state and tech CEOS like himself ruling basically as unchallengeable godkings

Surprisingly, given how in the past the Catholic Church has been perfectly fine with cozying up to autocratic rulers, the current post-Vatican II Catholic Church is very opposed to this sort of thing. Hence why the Pope's chief adviser on AI wrote a whole article called "American heresy: should Peter Thiel be burned at the stake?"

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.
