Fun weekend activity: get super fucking high, pretend you are an android or cyborg programmed solely to kill and destroy, and read the Wikipedia articles for 'love' and 'friendship' in pure innocent wonder.

Hi my name is Ozy'mandias, King of Kings and I have two vast and trunkless legs of stone and a frown and wrinkled lip and a lot of people tell me I look like the Younger Memnon (a/n if you don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm a statue but my visage is shattered and lies half sunk on the sand. I’m also a colossal wreck, and I stand in the desert of an antique land where I’ve been for a really long time (I’m ancient). I’m a lifeless thing (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly the passions the sculptor read and stamped on me, which yet survive. I love sculptors and I get all my expressions from there. For example today I was wearing a sneer of cold command and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was standing in the desert. The lone and level sands were boundless and bare, which I was very happy about. A lot of mighty looked upon my works and despaired. I put my middle finger up at them.

It's actually not disgusting to see foreigners participating in your culture if you aren't racist.

Music addiction is real. Almost every single day, I spend at least an hour just listening to music. The same songs over and over again, just to feel something, that rush of dopamine. As I get further addicted, soon enough the beetles aren't enough. Whitney Houston isn't enough. Not even fucking ELO is enough.

I listen to more and more depraved tunes, just to get my fix. Ive listened to many bad songs. Some that I will never be able to confess. (Anime opening) And it makes me fucking angry that this has become normalized in our culture. If you're a song-rotten "musicmaxxer" please join my subreddit "song free"

Our movement is backed by Charlie Kirk and Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan. Which means nothing. Here is a source that proves music addiction is real.

extremely funny to me that harley quinns real name is apparently harleen quinzel, a name that sounds less real that harley quinn. they should do that with more comic characters. batman real name batthew manning. daredevil real name darius devilson. doctor strange real name. well okay that one doesnt count.

in general people should try to believe true things and not false things

Only a deeply bigoted-against-people-with-polio society would come up with a vaccine for polio in the first place. You want to ELIMINATE people with polio? You want to Destroy us? End us? You hate us and want us GONE?!

New people are produced via cloning. This cloning method is one of those bs science fiction cloning machines that produces a fully grown adult. Thanks to how these machines are designed, this fictional society is about as genetically and individually diverse as our own. New adults are physically about 18 years old, and equipped with a standard set of knowledge about the world, comparable to what your average 18-year-old today knows.

anyway just a reminder for the myth lovers out there

king arthur was welsh. merlin was welsh. camelot was in wales. the lady and the lake she pops out of; welsh. excalibur; magic inanimate welsh object. etc.

on the way to see family, i drive past a lake that in which is welsh legend, is the last resting place of excalibur.

i’m just saying in my experience a lot of these legends had been so anglo-fied in the past and it’s like, all this cool shit is celtic welsh legend.

Killmonger wants to change the Status Quo, and part of his motivation for this was a bad thing that our protagonists country/ancestors did that contributed to the villain's tragic backstory.

Then the protagonist literally goes to his ancestors who ruled the country and did the bad thing that enforced the status quo that motivated the villain and said "You are wrong, you are all wrong to turn your backs on the rest of the world" and then it ends with him fixing the problems that the villain was complaining about, just not via ethnic war.

Incredible how bluntly movies will say "the message is that we should solve these problems peacefully rather than through murder :)" and people will choose to pretend it says "the message is that we should never solve these problems and anyone who tries must be murdered" because it's easier to have a hot take about.

It's like, basic 102 writing, the second you graduate from baby stories for babies, you think "what if the villain had a sympathetic motivation" "What if he did bad things, but wanted good outcomes, but was wrong about how to do them" "What if the hero therefore had a more complicated feeling about them than just plain hatred". You know, the narrative techniques you graduate to when you're not a young child, the earliest and simplest forms of nuance.

But for that people even that escapes them, they haven't progressed past morality tales for children and naked propaganda, and if it doesn't compute as naked propaganda for their beliefs then they have to assume it's naked propaganda against their beliefs.

Superman 2025 is obviously trying to be the anti-MCU movie as it goes, “look! Instead of going along with the whims of the MIC and enforcing American hegemony, this guy decides instead to Do What He Thinks Is Right, and damn the bureaucrats if they don’t like it.”
