#I’m not used to doing this

[chenfordnoquit]

This is likely an unpopular opinion but I wasn’t a big fan of Lucy’s response to Tim when he returned home finally. I do get it - Tim going AWOL would be terrifying and angst-inducing and she’s absolutely justified in being upset and angry at his lack of communication but being instantly on the defensive, not really listening and demanding truths the very second he walks in the door and then immediately giving an ultimatum/asking him to leave when he’s barely even said anything just left me feeling a lack of empathy.

In S1, when she realized he was likely going to commit the crime of hiding Isabel’s drugs, she risked calling him out and reminding him that doing that would change him. She realized how conflicted he was but also that he toed the line. She pushed him to remember himself.

I guess I just thought that years later, with how much she knows him/how he carries the weight of so much, maybe take a step back to see that it’s been 36 hours for maybe a painful reason and he needs time to process. And when he said he hadn’t committed a crime, or at least not yet - a reminder of his morality. I would’ve thought that statement would be alarming in a sense of morals, but instead it became about protecting her career/taking a fall.

I hope I’m not dismissing Lucy’s righteous anger at him keeping her in the dark. Or attempting to make this a girlfriend should comfort her man even at the expense of her own valid feelings. But when she remarked that what, did he expect they’d just do date night when he came in the door, it just felt a tad callous and dismissive. If they were just allowed to breathe and sit next to each other for a moment to process, who knows if Tim might have tried to open up, to have felt safe to do so.

But here’s hoping more communication and opening up next week!

every prehistoric human reconstruction has me thinking “I want to smoke weed with this bitch”

she looks like she would have been an awesome neighbor, like she would have loved menthols and called me baby

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

Belphie is trying very hard to find legal roundabouts for his crimes. so pouncing on other cats is not allowed…..but what if he does it at hyper insect speed, and then dashes across the house and hides? is it allowed then? and what if instead of pouncing on the cat, he jumps OVER them like a circus pony? is that allowed?? surely, that’s allowed….

Fanfic idea: Bruce loses a bet and has to go on a TV show as Batman

Interviewer: Batman! Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here!

Batman: That makes one of us

Interviewer gets nervous: Umm so what made you decide to become a superhero?

Batman: Felt it was necessary

The interview continues in the most uncomfortable way possible

Interviewer desperately trying to get more than a few words out of Batman: Do you have a significant other in your life? Are they a superhero like yourself?

Batman: My significant other is a jerk who is the reason I’m on this show… this is one of the worst things ever and I’ve dropped the Batmobile on myself

Superman seems to appear out of nowhere

Superman: I’m not a jerk! I won fair and square!!

Chaos ensues when people realize Superman and Batman are together

I’m in the South. I’ve got ears to the ground. Republicans are SWEATING at the prospect of Kamala being nominated. They’re not sure Trump can beat her.

Let’s prove them right.

who the fuck gives a single shit if someone on this website thinks voting for kamala is ‘selfish’ or that it’s wrong to vote ‘just because you will benefit’. fellas is it selfish to want to continue to have access to vital healthcare. is it selfish to want a president that isn’t a fascist and a felon and misogynist and a sex criminal. is it selfish to prioritise your own employment rights when your job is the only way you can keep your health insurance and keep a roof over your head and put food on the table. is it selfish to think that out of the two candidates available it’s preferable to pick the one that might achieve a ceasefire instead of the one that will definitely escalate the genocide
