It's funny that Louis is canonically always on the grind. He's investing he's a real estate mogul he's a multi millionaire he watches the stock market open and all his husbands are cringefail jobless art guys who also suck so bad. Except for human Daniel who has two pulitzers.

I just realized there's a "proverb" at the end of each episode but I never listend after "Good night night vale Good night" so now I have to go check them all out *face palm*

Episode 36-missing is top 5 favorite episodes so far! It actually made me emotional

Traffic section? 10/10

There’s a man. Imagine him. He’s leaning on a fence, shirtless and weary, he seems wise near the eyes, but his impatient feet suggest insidiousness. He’s marked with dried mud and maybe some very deep but quickly healing cuts, from the tree branches most likely. Or perhaps the birds. Okay, I’m not telling you the whole truth. It was definitely the birds. Imagine these cuts and scratches, dry and brittle now but tender to the touch. He is certain he did not offend the birds, but he is uncertain whether his complacency was construed as equal to said offense.

Picture this. Picture the man leaning on the crisscrossing metal wires, waiting. The birds are gone but other things are coming. He doesn’t know specifically what, but he knows it’ll come for him. You know this, too, because I have told you. The man says nothing.

There’s never not something that has been displaced, marginalized. There’s never not something that - when feeling pressed to the wall, to a place with no room left to run - gathers its numbers, gathers its forces, and turns savagely on its oppressor, turns viciously and without inhibition even on those who merely look like its oppressor. Do you catch my meaning? Can you imagine the scene I am explaining? How much of the world makes sense to you? What does it mean to be a hero? To be a human?

The man thinks about his heart. It beats. It beats normally. Earlier it did not beat normally. Think about your own heart. Is it beating normally? Listen. I’ll give you a long moment.

[A long moment is given]

How is your heart? Do you remember the man? The one on the fence, shirtless and scarred, with the normally-beating heart? He’s not real. Take him out of the story, but leave the story. Take him out. Leave the story. Do you catch my meaning? Do you?

This has been traffic.

Followed later by this:

Remember what I said listeners? About the traffic. About the birds. Think on that. Think on lots of things. Think about heroes and whether we should even need them. The answer is we do not.

I sometimes wish I could tell you more. But I cannot. I cannot tell you everything I think you should hear because it is boring. Or it is unnecessary. Or it is very necessary but unapproved. There are many reasons I cannot always tell you what I want to tell you, but the main reason is that you need to find it out for yourself. I could preach and teach and shout and explain, but no lesson is as powerful as the lesson learned on one’s own.

You can do it. You don’t need old Cecil telling you what’s happening in town. No, I just report the news. I just arrange it. You figure it out. You learn from it. You take action. You create the meaning. It is all up to you. And given my current broadcasting situation, it may be up to you for a long time.

I better get back downstairs before they discover what I am doing. Stay tuned next for silence, self-reflection, a long pause to hear yourself think. Use that silence well

Good night night vale Good night

Oh Cecil! You lovely lovely man!

I dunno. One of my many favorite things about Our Flag Means Death is that it takes a whole spectrum of people of different body types, ethnicities, skin colors, disabilities, and sexual and gender identities, and never once treats any of those differences as something to be mocked, derided, or dismissed. No one is treated as bad or undesirable. This is a show made up of people who would be the secondary token characters in other stories featuring able-bodied, hard-bodied, straight cis white people. Everyone looks like someone I see in my local grocery every day.

The antagonists are the ones who mock and deride, who think that a femme gay man is a pet to be put down, who think that a brown man is an animal, who call other people misogynist, homophobic, or racist names. And almost to a person, those antagonists are the ones who wind up suffering or dead.

OFMD makes some slip-ups that can be criticized, but it is a shockingly inclusive show and that should really be embraced.

laurent: this is it. i am giving my life, surrendering to my unjust execution, so that my comrades may stand a chance at victory. i will die the weaker man i've always been, disgraced in front of my countrymen, robbed of my royal title and pride. unloved. misunderstood. and undefended.

A review:

1. Every actor on IWTV is talented beyond belief

2. Jacob and Delainey deserve every bit of praise and recognition they get and I’m thrilled they’ve been submitted for Golden Globe nominations

3. Assad was passed over for a Golden Globe nomination campaign in favor of Sam Reid, who had much less screen time and plot importance this season. To many fans, it follows an apparent pattern whereby AMC and certain media outlets have often excluded Assad from the show’s publicity since late 2023, likely due to rising Islamophobia

4. A few racist piece of shit “fans” on twitter said (paraphrasing) “and you wonder why we don’t care about Jacob and Delainey’s mistreatment [by anti-Black fans]” in response to this apparent snub. That is unacceptable, they should be blocked and shunned.

5. Some people have used these tweets as a jumping-off point to call *every single* Assad fan anti-Black (including Black fans); called Assad ugly and a bad person; denied any possibility of Islamophobia or anti-South Asian racism being aimed at him, while dismissing mentions of possible Islamophobia as merely a cover for anti-Blackness; expressed hopes that Assad’s character will be raped and enslaved by his white abuser in future seasons; and sent anon hate with derogatory racial epithets to his fans.

6. These past 24 hours are yet another reminder that all fandoms are best experienced with one finger on the block button

Thoughtful video assay by Caelan Conrad. Parasocial relationship with your fave artist sure as hell has gotten out of hand since social media became a thing. Since tumblr is the fandom site, I thought this video belonged here. This was posted three weeks ago and mainly focuses on chappell roan, but it can be applied to any artist nowadays really. It's up to us fans to take responsibility for our actions and interactions with our favorite artists.

Here we go again… The way I screamed “WHY ARE WE TRENDING?!!!” Out loud probably scared the constitution workers outside of my window. You know why? You know why we’re trending?

no. reason.

We just woke up and chose to give me a heart attack because I saw the trending and assumed that you know who murdered someone or “season” 3 got fully cancelled.
