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

Kriff, now I'm thinking about if the clones on Morut'yc found some battle droids and brought them home, fixed them up, and they worked together to build something peaceful.

The droids realized they weren't enemies anymore and found their places as free droids.

I want to think some battle droids fled to find a home to call their own after the Clone Wars ended. 😭

Izumi of Jang Hui died young. She was sixteen and unwed. A kind child, protective and lonely—thus unfit for this world.

Izumi of Jang Hui was murdered. The Painted Lady was born out of hatred and grief. Her skin is painted red with the patterns of her scars. Her home is the river where the Dark Water Spirit dwells—he who found her, drowned and beautiful.

Build shrines by the river and pray for her good will. Harm her land or people and pray for mercy.

The art of the deal. The brick was so hard to draw for no reason. (Gangle canonically has a bodypillow and watches anime)

There's something about the fragments of backstory we get in The Lost Hero.....

When she finds a goddess putting her son at the center of a divine fire, Esperanza Valdez burns her hands pulling him out of it, and screams for the goddess to leave them alone.

When the same goddess tells Beryl Grace to sacrifice her son to save her own life, she does so without question.

i remember seeing someone bring up adding Blue Beetle to the League, and a comment saying he belongs more with either the Titans or Young Justice. wonder how that'd go 🤔

VARGASTOBER - day 1 : memories

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

got a worm nibbling my brain. can someone help me find a piece of obscure media?

webcomic/indie comic from the 2010s. basically a sci-fi short story about a young girl (with red hair?) who was being raised by scientists as part of an experiment. she receives a haircut/has her head shaved, in preparation for her annual brain scan/testing. it is revealed that while her body is human, her "brain" is artificial, made of computer implants throughout her skull and spine. at some point her biological mother (also a scientist on the same campus?) encounters her and is repulsed, viewing her as a machine who has murdered her daughter.

it was very poignant and it bruised my heart and i can NOT find it anywhere

Some of the takes and general fandom narrative I've seen around Jay's amnesia and villain arc are really strange to me. I've often seen people talk about the tragedy/unfairness in how the ninja can't accept who Jay is now and even how Nya is reacting wrongly/in a pressuring way towards Jay and to me that's a very bizarre way of looking at it.

The ninja are watching someone they care about deeply do irreversible damage to his soul and aid in doing damage to the world at large. They are watching him do a 180 on everything he's ever stood for because his mind is impaired by retrograde amnesia which made him vulnerable to manipulation by someone who abandoned him incredibly easily. Jay is having a terrible time, not because the ninja can't accept who he is now, but because who he is now is a product of terrible circumstances he would never choose to be in if he was in his right mind.

It would show a frightening amount of apathy on the part of Nya and the other ninja if they were shown to just be accepting of who Jay is now as a result of his memory loss. Nya going after him when he leaves and saying that she will always love him is a more than understandable reaction and comparing it to how Jay behaved towards Nya in skybound, which is a take I have seen among others surrounding Nya's reactions, is a really strange way to view it in my opinion.

I'm not a Jay guy and I don't mind being corrected on any of this but he's been on my brain because of this sort of thing lately.
