Okay, it seems when we do a Tumblr sexyman tournament, the winner takes the power of the rest and, in turn, sends it to our world where someone ends up dying.

Said person who died, seems to be judged neither by morality, but by status, with the recipients being a queen and a pope. We’re 2 for 2, not a lot, but the pattern is there.

I think we can weaponize this. Let’s make more sexyman polls at an increased rate and hope that this probable Death Note hits our more problematic people like our president and the tech idiot.

We'll eventually hit them if we throw enough shots at their direction, so let’s see the hell we can raise with our Blorbos.

important things to note about the Queen and the Pope dying

their deaths happened after meeting with right-wing politicians

their deaths took place after the Tumblr sexyman results

Trisha Paytas announced being pregnant around the same time of both deaths

they were both heads of a state (and just, very extremely high-ranking important figures in general)

Jschlatt predicted both deaths

they were both heads of their respective Church

the Pope died on the Queen’s birthday

i'll be updating this post as i find more things out!

Some after "Sinners" reading material if you're interested in Black American and Indigenous History (and the immigrants who came over, too). I put in the Jones-Rogers book too so y'all won't think the 58% had no serious role in shaping the horrors of America.

I think watching sinners has actually taught me how fucking freaky i am. Like, everyone in that movie was hot as fuck, but why did Michael B Jordan get sexier covered in blood? Why were all the vampires a little sexier covered in blood, including the wee Irish fella, what is wrong with me 😭

[saphhicwitchbitch]

also imagine being so racist that an indigenous man tells you that you have a literal monster in your house and you fucking ignore him only to have said monster play tennis with your carotid artery two seconds later

remmick and the vampires present a false dichotomy

Hogwood (the man who sold the twins the mill) and the KKK are very obviously bad, they are outright malicious bigotry, they use the n-word and plan to lynch the moore's and their community, they are so blatantly racist and hateful it's unavoidably obvious

remmick and the vampires however say that they believe in equality, say that they want to create a community, and yet remmick's goal throught the movie is to both metaphorically and literally steal sammie's ability for his own goal of reconnecting with his irish ancestors, a white man wants to harm a young and upcoming black man and use talents for his own goals without giving any regard to said black man's autonomy or agency

when sammie sings 'I lied to you' in the juke joint and calls forth the spirits from the past and future, it's a blend of cultures; west african, east asian, native american, and african american song and dance blend together across time and space to tell the stories of blues; where it takes its inspiration from, the music genres it then inspired, the complex history of black american culture and its intersections with other peoples of colour in the USA

when remmick and the vampires kill and turn the people in the juke joint, and then perform rocky road to dublin, only remmick's irish culture is on display, there is no influence from the black and asian people he has forcibly assimilated into his song, it's juxtaposition with the earlier scene is blatant, remmick is more than happy to assimilate people of colour into his 'community' of 'equals', and yet its only whiteness that is celebrated, that is normative

remmick claims that he's doing people a favour by turning them immortal, conviently ignoring that he literally has to suck the life out of them to do so, trapping their spirits on earth, he claims that he's the good guy, that the KKK were gonna come and lynch everyone at the joint in the morning anyways, conviently ignoring that he's doing the exact same thing; a white man leading a mob to kill a bunch of black people

in the final confrontation with sammie remmick repeatedly dunks him into the river, a forceful baptism. both the celtic irish and enslaved west africans had their religions suppressed and destroyed by colonialsm, had christianity forced upon them by the british empire, and in that scene we see remmick repeating that cycle, using christianity to inflict harm, and sammie reclaiming christianity, despite all the complex emotions he has arround it, as many colonised peoples have and still do, when he recites the lord's prayer

remmick and the vampires are no less racist than hogwood and the KKK, are no less predatory or evil, they're just less blantant about their bigotry, they represent the system, the normalised white supremacy that is seeped into the very foundation of culture in america, the point isnt that remmick would call any of the black characters in the movie the n-word, i dont think he would, the point is that his exploitation and desacration and inserting-himself-into-when-he-wasn't-invited of the juke joint is a microcosm of what white people have done to black american arts and culture since ever since there have been black and white people in america, and even before that

theres a reason vultures are shown early on in this movie

“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

i have crazy garlic fingers from peeling and chopping garlic cloves yesterday this phenomenon is always fascinating to me because it reminds me that i, too, am made of meat, and therefore i am also susceptible to being seasoned

I have a friend who actually just doesn't get trans people. Like, he doesn't hate them he just fully doesn't get it and he is so stupid that it's kinda funny. He'll call you the right pronouns but if you says your trans he will be like "wha?"
