#Bit of thinking on this one

[silversoulcreations]

11. In a world where people can live potentially forever and everyone ages at different rates and with different milestones, how do you decide who’s mature and who’s not?

Rythyren pondered the question for a moment, before deciding to pipe up, since no one else seemed to be in the talking mood. "That's certainly a question. Let us see if we can unravel it a touch. First you have to ask the question of what you mean by 'mature.'" They paused for a moment, before continuing. "Every race aging at different milestones would be one point, certainly. You would have to take into account what age each race reaches their version of being considered an adult, first and foremost. Now, to this, it changes as years turn on. What would have been one number years ago has progressed to another as society evolves." They sat, cross legged, cradling a cup of tea as their head tilted to one side, and sapphire eyes sparkled with violet limbal rings aglow. "Let us take humans, as the base, as most do, and consider that the general 'accepted' age of maturity is eighteen. This is what society has decided is when one's mind is considered by rote of the populace acceptable to be tret as an adult." They paused, before continuing once more. "I would, however, argue, that a human, and keeping in mind this is a generalization.. Does not reach true maturity until their mid twenties, at the earliest. When their hormones are more likely to have settled into a steady rhythm. The same can be said for each race and their respective milestone. If a creature lives thousands of years, the aging process may be slower, however even if their physical representation appears to be an adult, who is to say if the mind has caught up into that level of maturity? While one can be considered 'an adult', this does not make them mature, nor wise, though we aren't currently talking about the latter, now are we?"

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot
