#Mockery

Weird how much gen z mocks gen alpha even though we're not any better.

Example: Gen alpha saying Ohio doesn't exist is no different from when gen z use to say Wyoming doesn't exist.

UUUUUGH. This is from this past weekend. Again a piece of news about how looooong, and impossible to say are Basque surnames, ohmygooood.

1 - a combination of consonant and vowels, wow, Basque is THAT groundbreaking.

2 - the fact that both the hosts say it wrong 3 - the fact that these long surnames - as we explained - are usually two different ones put together. Please note that the second longest has a double A in the middle which doesn't exist in Basque: one is the final A of the first family name and the second is the first one of the other. 4 - the subtle mockery: this is divine music. 5 - the blatant disrespect: I'd call them Patxi. 6 - let's make fun of the pronunciation of Basque surnames but let's give the German and Hawaiian ones to AI. 7 - they all making fun of Basque as if Spanish didn't have long words whose letters can be - oh surprise! - remembered and pronounced perfectly by a Spanish speaker like: contrarrevolucionariamente (26 letters) electroencefalografista (23 letters) esternocleidomastoideo (22 letters)

Fuck them all, quite honestly.

Defeating the villain with taunts

I always love scenes where the heroes manage to use mockery or taunting to annoy their enemies so much that they end up defeating themselves. It's such a satisfying feeling!

What are some of your favorite examples of this trope?

[IMAGE ID: The first of two digital drawings. This drawing features dsmp Quackity in Pandoras vault, lava a distance behind him. He has a smug look on his face, mouth opened to show pale green teeth, black tusks, and an ominous green glow inside his mouth. His eyes are blank and amused, the swirls on his cheeks lightly glowing green. His ear wings point upwards in a mockery of Dream's ears, his speech bubble reading "Look, I'm you! (lmao)". END ID]

[IMAGE ID: The second of two digital drawings. This drawing features dsmp Dream in Pandoras vault, a dark purple wall behind him. Dream is looking upward, mask partially broken, his expression conveying so much disgust that the art style has shifted slightly to accommodate the lines of his face. His rabbit ears point backward, and his prison uniform is tattered at the neck. His "nametag" reads "001". END ID]

Christ Crowned with Thorns

Artist: Gerrit van Honthorst (Dutch, 1590 - 1656)

Date: About 1620

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Getty Center Museum, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Painting Description

As was customary for promising Dutch painters in the 1600s, Gerrit van Honthorst traveled to Italy to complete his artistic training. In Rome he fell under the spell of Caravaggio's revolutionary style and adopted his use of realistic figures and dramatic lighting, known as chiaroscuro. In Italy he acquired the nickname Gherardo delle Notti (Gerrit of the Nights) because he painted so many night scenes lit by candles or torches.

This recently discovered painting may have been made as an altarpiece. It shows the Crowning with Thorns, one of the last of the series of events comprising the trial of Christ. His crude features illuminated by a torch, a jeering soldier mocks Christ, who humbly accepts the soldier's derision. In the shadows, another soldier places the crown of thorns on Christ's head, using a cane to protect his own hands. At the left, two dimly lit figures, perhaps Pontius Pilate and an advisor, discuss Christ's fate.

Biblical Narrative | John 19: 1-3

So Pilate then took Jesus and had Him flogged. And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and placed it on His head, and put a purple cloak on Him; and they repeatedly came up to Him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapped Him in the face again and again.

The Interloper's Essence: The Little Pilgrim

The story begins with Miss Nightingale opening a book for a bedtime story and narrating.

A little traveler arrives in his little boat to the Land of Origin and met a Hollow Poet who promised to guide him through the corrupted land but would not guarantee safe passage. With each trial the traveler overcame and the closer they came to the center of the island.

Upon reaching the center, the Prideful One, now imprisoned, asked how the traveler could stave off the corruption.

"I didn't avoid the corruption, it's hard to avoid, but my Mama and Papa taught me something important that helped me through it."

"And what would that be?" Asked The Prideful One.

"Hope."

I haven't drawn out the rest but the idea for the essence is the Divine Comedy with the Interloper acting in the role of Dante, Nightmare in the role of Virgil, and Novelist in the role of the Devil himself found imprisoned at the center of the island.

Vicious Mockery

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

Blasphemy laws are ridiculous. If a god is perfect, all-powerful and eternal, as we are frequently assured, then he can never be made greater through praise - or else he would not have been perfect as things can't be more perfect - nor can he be made lesser by mockery or criticism. That Commandments or divine revelations proscribe insults or mockery of gods is a clear indication of the human manufacture of that god.

And if you're going to take the road of, well, it's not about protecting the god, but the feelings of the believer, well... I don't care. Your feelings are your concern, not mine or anyone else's. Your god should know that, and never have supplied those Commandments in the first place. He doesn't think very highly of you, does he?
