an interesting linguistics find! so I'm reading this text from 1908 and it keeps referencing "hp" in the context of "not being at full hp" "applying your full hp to a task" etc
and I'm like....... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but I KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean
and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere
horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.
and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader
I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and he'd be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon'''' loses horsepower throughout the fight
language is amazing
had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”
what the people want, the people get
you see
my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.
evidence as explained:
victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world
his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression
he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest
henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces
afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?
Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrational
the book does not otherwise have central female characters
Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.
in conclusion, Frankenstein (1818) by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the first examples of mpreg in English literature
I was not expecting that last line.
this video is making me SOB
Fuck
The woman taking out a pin from her own hair to give it to a little girl
The lady who decided she was not just gonne make a pony tail, she was gonne braid that little girl’s hair using a five strand method
The husband of the older lady pointing out she missed a piece of hair and being so attentive
All of them asking where her mom was and telling her not to talk to strangers
Just all these people not just helping her out but trying to comb her hair and make sure it looks nice and that she likes it
Im sobbing
when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live…recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it…… that’s the real shit
as if people on this hellsite need april in order to be fools
i think it is very depressing that like every aesthetic people try to emulate are of people doing things but they themselves are incapable of being somebody that does things… the mall goth 2005 aesthetic revived in 2022 but nobody goes to the mall to be annoying and weird and nobody lets themselves be cringe… the cottagecore aesthetic but nobody knows how to raise gardens or live self sufficiently … the dark academia aesthetic but nobody actually reads books…. The obsession of looking like you are a type of person who does something without actually doing anything … the Instagram effect

"In Chungking, Wong moves beyond the traditional problems specific to a dehumanized, industrial society. To set the scene of modern dislocations and isolation, he begins to experiment with the narrative as well as the visual fragmentation of the space of the film by breaking it into two all but disconnected stories associated with one fast-food counter."

Cinéaste, FALL 2005, Vol. 30, No. 4 (FALL 2005), pp. 9-13
"Faye's devotion to 'California Dreamin,' her nearly maddening mantra, is as insistent as Wong's dedication to the 'emotions' of inanimate objects: desperate to find a final tin of pineapple on the eve of its expiry date, #223 berates the Circle K clerk who's already discarded them for ignoring 'the feelings of the cans,' while #663, upon returning to his flooded flat, wonders to himself whether he'd forgotten to turn off the tap or if his apartment is simply growing sentimental."
