Why is “barely legal” pornography always about age? I think they should experiment with teetering on other types of illegality. For example, they could film just outside of a restricted military area.
LGBT people, I need you to know that any “pedophile execution bill” passed in the US is meant to put you, personally, to death. When the right says “groomer,” they’re talking about you. When they say “predator,” they’re talking about you. When they say “pedophile,” they’re talking about you. Any actual child sex abusers who are convicted and executed would be, to them, a happy accident, a cherry on top of a law that’s meant to exterminate anyone who deviates from the cisgender, heterosexual norm.
this 100%. they have been calling us these things for decades and these specific types of laws and bills are not directed at actual child predators. i mean, we have one as president right now! trump was caught attending “parties” at epstein’s estate. there is legal proof that he has sexually abused children, and yet he’s president of the united states!
they don’t care about children being hurt. they care about trying to isolate and kill queer people. don’t fall for it.
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
someone: prohibition in the united states was largely ineffective, cost millions, tried to force a religious belief on the entire country, only ever resulted in the increase in consumption of alcohol, as well as the increase in police violence, and ultimately failed
people: okay yeah that’s true
someone: the war on drugs is the exact same thing except this time because of the militarization of the police and private prison interests, is much, much more deadly and specifically exists to justify and widely reinstate slavery within the united states
people: what? but drugs are #bad, and we can’t let people use them. obviously this is the only way to deal with this situation
how do you not include one of the most infamous scenes of all time
The number of people who conveniently forget that not every piece of media is to be taken 100% seriously, and that sometimes things are done as joke that are making fun of the thing the moment a piece of media isn’t American is… interesting.
Like, just the people going “have they never seen a woman?” “Do they know how physics works?” Like yes, obviously this poor stupid professional animator make anime and that must mean that he(because NO WOMAN would draw anime that sexualizes women) is some pathetic shut-in loser.
It could never be that they are doing something ridiculous on purpose for comedic effect.

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

Literally where would be as a society without the soup store video
ive never met anyone under 25 who hasnt seen it.
It’s literally an impossibly good video. The fucking performance and sheer ANGER and building frustration from both party’s, the absurdity, the slow ramping ridiculousness, the way the diologue flows off itself at a breakneck speed, the phrase “I’m at soup” the pure fucking rage off both parties, the sheer almost unbelievable idiocy from the guy who’s ‘at soup,’ the way it ends so ubruptly without losing any momentum. Its insane. I’ve watched it 150 times in like 2 years its never not funny.
here’s the video since op didn’t link it
Fun fact: this was written, edited, and voice acted by one guy.
Fun fact #2: this whole sketch was apparently based on an overheard conversation where someone was trying to buy chicken at The Gap.
Fun fact #3: there is actually a clothing store called Soup.
The embed video is now dead so here is a link to the video on youtube.

sometimes when I’m being especially self deprecating and convinced no one likes me I have to tell myself “you’re being goob. you are being goob right now”
I hope everyone understands that they can just…up at watch Nosferatu (1922) for free on YouTube. Like it’s not “Oh I wish I could watch it” You can.
What’s great is that, technically, you’re engaging in piracy no matter what format you watch it in because every copy of the movie was supposed to have been destroyed in 1926 at the behest of the Stoker estate.
have the accelerationists learned yet that letting fascists take over does nothing to provoke revolution, it just sets back human rights and forces us to reinvent abortion protections
believe it or not losing a shit ton of ground over just 2 weeks is not very motivating. watching years of hard work get erased doesn’t make people excited to get out there and make a change.
yeah turns out watching everything you’ve spent decades pouring your blood sweat and tears into crumble before your very eyes is super fucking demoralizing
I missed most of the Iraq war due to being a baby, but every time I read about it I start wondering why we aren’t all talking about it all of the time
it feels like the sort of unforced error that should be obsessively postmortemed for the next fifty years, a catastrophe that should utterly delegitimize the society that made it happen, but instead everybody’s like “oh yeah, that. lmao, that was crazy”
I have to add to this because I was teaching a text about this topic to a bunch of post-2003 undergraduates recently and each time I do so I experience the same sense of disorientation.
This is a war about which the accepted, mainstream consensus is that no one is able to explain the U.S. decision to invade Iraq. The people involved in that decision are unable, in retrospect, to explain or justify it. In almost every postmortem of this decision, you will find some reference to the fact that Richard Haass, who advised Colin Powell at the State Department in 2001-3, has said that he “will go to [his] grave not knowing” why the U.S. invaded Iraq. George Packer, in The Assassins’ Gate, describes the invasion as “something that some people wanted to do.”
This is a war that destroyed a country. It created ISIS. It destabilized the Middle East. It killed a minimum of c. 200,000 people. It displaced millions more. It resulted in devastating losses to the cultural heritage of Iraq. And twenty years on, no one is able to explain why it happened.
It seems to me that there are several important lessons here.
category of blorbo called “technically i like them but fanons obsession with them to the exclusion of other characters pavloved me into having a negative reaction whenever i see them”

You cannot say that a top grossing artist is “feral” or making you “feral.” You are listening to the Billboard Top 40. You are very domesticated.
Stupid ass take. The fame of the artist doesn’t define how it makes you feel. Do you not see me go hogwild eating potatoes, easily one of the top 5 most well known vegetables

i really like this old faith flooring! it has exactly four moon phases, i hc each one of them represent one of the bishops :)
that would leave narinder out, but that’s the fun part…
in the heretic pack, there is also this sun symbol that isn’t included in the flooring! to me it’d represent narinder. it’d be something like:
leshy, heket, kallamar, shamura - they’re represented by the phases of the moon because that’s how their domains are: ever-changing!
narinder - represented by the sun because the moon can’t shine without it (that is, there is no reason to fear chaos, famine, pestilence, or war without death). plus, the sun is always the same
this is one of my personal fav headcanons, and i’m rlly glad to share it! if i’d include narinder on the flooring, i’d do something like
maybe it was removed in his banishment
Also the doors have the moon things too
I guess it explains why aym and baal were given weapons of the moon and the sun
lets not forget the unreleased moon and sun fleeces also..
whoops going to reblog this again because a cursory search into eclipses and i have learned that the word is derived from “ekleipsis” which meaning BEING ABANDONED
im still SO MAD at that one person who said the cotl spotify wrappeds were inaccurate because it was ‘just trendy songs’ and narinder would only listen to 'pov: you’re the villain’ music (THEIR WORDS, NOT MINE.)
i can’t remember for the life of me who said it but just know that FIRST OF ALL, APPLE BY CHARLIE XCX PERFECTLY SUITS LESHY IF YOU USE YOUR IMAGINATION and also you’ve ruined my life and my ability to interact normally with this fandom because what do you MEAN YOU’RE NOT TRYING TO FIND DEEPER MEANINGS IN THE CHOICES???? NO LYRIC ANALYSIS?????? NO CHARACTER THEMING???? NO NOTHING?????
arrrgh sorry i just really needed to publicly express my anger because you have to admit it is a little bit entertaining. be honest with yourself. be HONEST. BE HONEST. BE STOP DRAGGING ME AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD STOP
I’ve been working on an AU as of late. I doubt anyone will really care, but nonetheless I want to talk about it on here because I figure it’ll be awhile before I get the comic I’m thinking of out anyways.
It’s essentially the same as canon, with one deviation in the storyline. The Lamb, who is named Nolawi here, attempts to sacrifice themself to save Narinder multiple times. But see, the problem is that in the game, when you try to sacrifice yourself to Narinder… You can’t. You’re brought to the credits screen, yes, but you can continue your save just like normal. Theres no ending after you sacrifice yourself, you’re just sent back in time. Nolawi essentially gets stuck in a time loop through this. The first few times, they’re confused. They think theres a mistake, they must’ve been dreaming– or something odd like that. They fully intend to sacrifice themself. They see it as their final decision, one that will free their benefactor and give them closure. They don’t want to become a god. They are at peace with their standing. But the universe denies them. They cannot sacrifice themself. They are stuck in a loop of dying and coming back.
Eventually, the universe begins to shiver at their sheer determination. And by shiver, I mean crack. There’s only so many times one can deny their own fate before the fates begin to doubt themselves. Nolawi is a stubborn lamb, and they won’t let the world deny them their choice. After so long of doing this, the universe finally responds. The ‘Mystic Seller’ (or, 'weird physical manifestation of that above divinity’ AKA 'the fucking universe itself’) presents itself to Nolawi and offers them a deal. The Universe will return Narinder to the living world, he will be– by all means– freed. But Nolawi must give up their entire flock in return. Nolawi, as a name, means Shephard. It’s a religious name, specifically one from Ethiopia, Nolawi– or ኖላዊ is God who gave his life for his sheep (mankind). Thus, by accepting this deal, Nolawi betrays who they are as a person and as a god to their flock. They give up their flock as sacrifice for their own selfish wants– rather then how it should be. Nolawi declines the request. Believing it to be asinine, and the Universe false. They are stubborn, they are the chosen vessel of he who waits, they can be persistent and wait for the Universe to crack as they continue to try and sacrifice themself to Narinder.
…But the Universe is endlessly more patient then a single Lamb. Who is, at this time, still just a vessel, and not a true god. Nolawi is playing with fate, and fate never loses. So eventually, they finally give in. And their entire flock is sacrificed, while Narinder and them are saved. Narinder is freed, as a god in his own right– But lacking the same power he would’ve gained if Nolawi had been sacrificed. He is weak, and they are shattered. The Universe freed Narinder as a Bishop and not a Mortal on purpose. Think of it as a petty little 'fuck you’ to Nolawi for keeping it waiting for so long. Because Narinder is not a Mortal, he cannot be a part of their flock. So they cannot recruit him.
What is a Shephard without a Flock? Nolawi finds this question a taunt. They’re purposeless. They defied fate, yes, and they technically made their own choice AGAINST fate. But there is no victory for them. There is no justice. They are left at the hands of the world again with nothing. Only Narinder. They have a pretty damn unhealthy codependency here, especially because the Universe isn’t willing to talk to a god who has no following. And they WILL die soon if they don’t build their flock. So, they and Narinder are forced to work together for it. In all their toxicity.
I might elaborate upon this someday and I DO have a comic planned out for this AU, which is why I’m talking about it. I’d love to hear opinions or feedback. Thank you for reading, if you did! It means a lot.
