in the age of repression and purity culture, getting more perverted is the only morally correct course of action

#(thousand-yard sex-disinterested aroace stare) cool opinion. love seeing this same sentiment 10000 times a day on this website

im also aroace. being disinterested in sex and romance is still sexual perversion in the eyes of the state. get more perverted in whichever direction fills you with the most joy!!!!!!

Body Swap tier list so far

I haven't updated yall in a while but just know I absorbed a ton of body swap media since the last time I shared this tier list. I might talk about some of these individually some day since there's enough interesting about them that they deserve their own post. Just know this is how huge my body swap brain is right now. Big and wrinkly with knowledge

Oh no it’s one of my hyperfixations.

So fun fact I am currently in school to learn how to build affordable housing. They don’t teach you how to murder strip malls so I must learn this on my own. Someday the two will fuse and I will be an angel of death for shopping centers. This is my calling.

There have been attempts to turn malls into affordable housing. Sadly retrofitting commercial properties into habitable living spaces is usually more expensive than just making a new building. All that big empty space with uniform climate control is cool and all but it’s not habitable living quarters. you know what it’s GREAT for????

HYPER-LOCAL AGRICULTURE BAYBEEEEEEE

Indoor farming got a bad rep recently because it couldn’t become profitable fast enough to satisfy the capitalists funding it. But these places have loads of height for more space-efficient vertical farms, and while plants won’t need the blasted AC of most shopping malls, they probably do appreciate a steady climate (something that’s getting harder to find outdoors).

“But wait,” you say, “the food court has all those fully outfitted kitchens. It would be a waste not to incorporate that into daily living.”

hello????????? Literal farm-to-table restaurants that grow their vegetables right across the hallway are you KIDDING ME??????????????? (better keep that shit cheap tho no gentrification on my watch)

“But wait wait wait,” you say again, “how can it be *local* farming when there’s no housing nearby? Also this isn’t about food we need fucking housing????”

I hear you, man, I hear you. But you know what is right around a shopping mall? Acres upon acres of the most depressing use of land in history: fucking dog shit crusty ass empty fucking parking lots.

The amount of space these bad boys take up is STAGGERING, and it’s often enough to fit an entire neighborhood. Just check out what this one architect in Maine did to replan the Portland mall (they won an award for it):

*everything on that map that’s in color is currently flat cement*

One mid-sized mall in Maine can fit an entire downtown area WITH GREEN SPACE in its parking lot, and *still have room for parking.*

So yeah, the housing in malls idea is cool thinking. Think bigger. WAY bigger.

Think of all the space strip malls and their parking lots take up. Imagine all that space becoming housing and small businesses and third spaces and NATURE.

These stores are dying fast. The real estate is cheap as fuck. It is extremely doable within the next decade. We just have to fucking do it.

adventures of superboy and kryptonite pilled Smallville citizens

not to mention they'll lose the farm!!

ep 5 mr freeze

so this classmate of Clark's gets frozen in a kryptonite lake and receives ice powers from it. He's desperate to get warm and the only thing that does it is absorbing heat from other people. It's kind of an allegory for assault but that's a messy interpretation. It's more like,,, Parasite but cold. It's like that iconic Hold Me issue of Hellblazer but not as good of course.

this is among the weaker rogue offerings because this episode is about advancing all other social situations while an unrelated freak is running loose trying to touch people. The rogue feels like an uncreative obligation to the plot of this episode. "It has to be action! So we need someone for Clark to fight!"

Unlike the other rogues, it's hard to argue what theme connects this one to Clark. That's how much he feels out of place. Is Lex supposed to be a "parasite" to the Kent family? That reading doesn't really work so-!

Chloe and Pete are now trailing behind Lana in the "not feeling like characters just yet" department. They still feel strictly utilitarian to the narrative; Clark needs friends who can give him information on what's going on in town. But Pete and Chloe still don't quite have internal lives of their own.

Chloe gets hit on by a guy here, and we're supposed to be shocked to find that she's surprisingly into it despite placing herself as above the social roles of jocks and cheerleaders at school. So it's strange to still come away from this episode feeling like I didn't get that much insight into her character. We're early on, so Pete and Chloe still have time to figure themselves out.

I liked that Clark's showdown with this rogue doesn't have Kryptonite involved! Forcing Kryptonite into the climax fight scenarios to weaken Clark was getting really repetitive.

Unfortunately! I don't think they used this rogue's Parasite adjacent abilities to their fullest. I thought Clark was going to have to wait until the sun came up to give him strength to battle Mr Freeze boy, or that he'd have to rely on his smarts instead of strength. But nah. He just tosses the guy into the lake again lol. We haven't established sun= source of Kryptonian power yet, and this would've been an awesome way to do it.

The show has run into a structural problem that's affecting Clark's heroism. The supernatural things going on in Smallville need plausible deniability, and so the rogues often die or get arrested or lose their memory. We can't have the rogues remembering that Clark has supernatural abilities! So they gotta go bye bye. Clark can never redeem these rogues or care about them BTAS Batman-style. And so his justice is more so punishment rather than transformative.

We can't have a moment where Clark solves freeze boy's physical loneliness by soaking in the sun and then doing this when he's told that his inhuman heat is different from everyone else's:

Which is a shame, because that would've been so so so Superman-core. Anyway-

car crash/demolition count: 5

Clark stares at Lana down the school hallway while a song plays. That's one for the counter, fellas: 4.5

ep 6 That's So Raven meets de-aged serial killer pianist

This one was great! It's nice to meet a meta-human from the Kryptonite-meteor event who isn't evil! I hope we get more of that.

an elderly blind woman has the kryptonite infused ability to see the future and tells Clark that someone close to him will die soon, which causes Clark to lose his shit in paranoia. Meanwhile in the same retirement home, an elderly man falls into a Kryptonite lake that de-ages him. With his new found youth, he continues his unfinished killing spree of people who wronged his pianist career.

Lex and Clark in this episode:

Thematic ties in this episode! Legacy, clinging to the past, and paranoia of the future. Lex once again shows the other side of the coin for these themes. It makes him such a lovely complement as a subplot for this show. There's something so poetic about Lex getting tempted to know his future and never getting the answer.

I was so delighted by the horror tone of this episode. The pianist guy has no super powers, he's just young now and killing people. The plausible deniability here is that folks think this is a copycat killer of elderly pianist man's murder spree. Clark does fight him, but he doesn't actually face him in the climax! Martha Kent does, and it's giving final girl horror stakes. No forced Kryptonite, it's great.

My mom walked in on us watching this episode (and stayed to watch it, she loves horror lol) and to my surprise she said "hey that's Superman!" Like?? It's Tom Welling looking like a normal guy (it wasn't an action sequence) but she knew who he was. I asked if she watched Smallville back in the day and she said "ooh!! Smallville! Yes I watched it!" all this to say eat shit James Gunn if my kampung mom knows who Superman is then maybe we're not the culturally uninformed non americans you think we are lmao

car crash/demolition count: 6. I will be genuinely miserable if there's an episode where a car isn't damaged.

Clark does not stare at Lana while a song plays in this episode! In fact this is a very non-romantic episode, and it makes it all the more refreshing. Clark sadly stares at That's So Raven elderly woman passing away. Counter stays at 4.5

Watching Smallville truly a trip for me becos I forget that the highschool characters are like 14/15. The production team truly looked at Tom Welling and went, yes this is a 14/15 yr old teenage boy 😭

asdfasdf I'm of two ways with casting adults to play teenagers. One is the obvious "ok no way this looks like a teen, this is taking me out of it". And the other is "well I'd hate for a teen actor to have to carry so much of this show with grueling work hours and public attention their prepubescent minds can't handle" along with uncomfortable moments of sexualization in this show. All that makes me glad adults are playing teen characters, instead of casting a young actor who gets put through the child exploitation machine that it tinsel town. I'm willing to suspend my disbelief for that hypothetical-kid-I-just-made-up's sake.

But also apparently in the world of entertainment, there's a recent push for naturalism. I grew up with stuff like Danny Phantom and thought the adults voicing teens was fine and matched the cartoony tone of the show. But I see younger people watching the show and saying the adult voice actors take them out of it. At least from my glimpses into the voice acting world, there's a push for more age accurate casting. Things like Gravity Falls (something Alex Hirsch intended to cast adults to play as kids because he was emulating the Simpsons) now look out of the ordinary for younger folks. Like High School Musical vs High School Musical the Series, encapsulates this in live action form for me.

AND IM ANGRY 𝗕𝗘𝗖𝗔𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗜 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗩𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨

redstonedust

idk how to explain it but im never truly comfortable with the way people insinuate that all older folks are inherently bigoted. it always feels like it kind of hand-waves away personal responsibility like ohhhh grandpa cant help homophobic, hes old. well ive met plenty of older folks who are normal about gay people. i think grandpa could be better. i think we should hold grandpa to higher standards.

I've told this story a lot of times, but my in-laws went from "my father-in-law told my wife 'it's better to marry than to burn' when she came out to them for the first time, as bi, in the late 90s" to "leaving their shitty regressive church, helping build their new church's Pride float, and then opening their home to act as sponsors and a landing space for two trans women fleeing persecution in Central America, who they call 'our girls' and who call them Mom and Dad and check in with them weekly from their new home together as a married couple on the East Coast with their paperwork all sorted."

And on the other hand, I wrote my biological father a letter a few months ago calling him out on the shit he was saying to family about the trans people who are his kids and grandkids, and he tried to lie to my face about it while saying "it's just my traditional ways."

My FIL is in frequent contact with all of his children and is visited by them regularly. My father's grandkids haven't spoken to him in years, and 2/3 of his children don't talk to him at all. My mom respects our names & pronouns, even if she doesn't "get it" or whatever,* and I text with her pretty much every day.

It's Granddad's choice whether or not he wants to be lonely.

*tbh, you can't make someone "get it". At my age, as long as someone treats me with respect, whatever goes on in their head and heart is between them and their God and is nothing to do with me.

My grandma is a dyed-in-the-wool Southern Baptist and I admit I was nervous about coming out to her as trans, so my auntie (who is more like a big sister to me) offered to tell her. And my grandma's response was "Well I don't understand it per se, but I'm proud of you for being who you are." And then she went to my auntie, who is a doctor, and was like "so clearly things have changed since I was last in biology class, explain me how this works because clearly there is a gap in my education here and I want to understand." (which my aunt did, s/o to my aunt who works at a children's hospital and has had trans patients). Like did I think my grandma would freak out? No. Was I still nervous? Yes. But her response was so awesome and heartening, and this is a woman in her late 80s.
