#Mockery

[philosophybits]

You believe in a crystal palace, eternally indestructible; a palace, that is, at which you could never stick out your tongue furtively, or gesture rudely from inside your pocket. Well, maybe I am afraid of this building exactly because it is crystal and eternally indestructible and that it will be impossible to stick out my tongue at it, even furtively... Laugh as you will. I can take any amount of mockery but still I won’t say that I am satiated when I am hungry; still I know that I won’t settle for a compromise, for a persistent, recurring zero, just because it exists according to the laws of nature and exists in reality.

The Crucifixion

Artist: Louis De Caullery (Flemish, c. 1580–1621)

Date: 1600-1620

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

The Crucifixion | Mark 15:25-32 The Message (MSG)

They nailed him up at nine o’clock in the morning. The charge against him - THE KING OF THE JEWS - was scrawled across a sign. Along with him, they crucified two criminals, one to his right, the other to his left. People passing along the road jeered, shaking their heads in mock lament: “You bragged that you could tear down the Temple and then rebuild it in three days - so show us your stuff! Save yourself! If you’re really God’s Son, come down from that cross!” The high priests, along with the religion scholars, were right there mixing it up with the rest of them, having a great time poking fun at him: “He saved others - but he can’t save himself! Messiah, is he? King of Israel? Then let him climb down from that cross. We’ll all become believers then!” Even the men crucified alongside him joined in the mockery.

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?

Guys.. I showed off my art to some friends and they all booed and hissed and threw rocks at me, so now I'm gonna upload it here. I will now place my entire worth as a human being on your reaction to this peice of art. (If you do not shower me in adoration and praise I will commit suicide)

I FINISHED MEHILÄINEN, FRIENDS <3

so since we're keeping the classic Bee motiff of hiding the eyes, (don't expect to ever see them), i chose to go with something that would fit the whimsical wackiness of Moomin! Their eyes are something no one outside the Moominvalley can see, even if they aren't necessarily trying to hide it. No matter how far apart they are from The Joxter and his smoking pipe, the thick cloud of tobacco always seems to follow them the moment the two step out of Moominvalley for the winter.

Regardless, their lack of visible eyes never makes them any less emotive. They're the much more energetic side of The Joxter; when The Joxter sleeps, Mehil is in the Moominhouse finding new hobbies with Moominmamma, developing their creative process with Moominpappa and Snork, or going on countless adventures with Moomin and the gang!

The Mehiläinen will never run out of reasons to pull The Joxter out of bed. Both a curse that takes away hours of precious sleep, but a blessing he can't help but want to keep.

"system" is exclusive to CDDs because I saw it used for CDDs first and only for them for several months afterward, and my personal experience is reflective of universal reality. My knowledge on this topic is based exclusively on what other people I already agree with have told me secondhand who themselves are repeating things secondhand. I have never read a research paper in full.

Vicious Mockery

Here are some examples I have come up with and collected for the D&D spell Vicious Mockery. For those who are not D&D nerds like me, vicious mockery is a spell where you roast your enemy with insults and it causes them actual mental damage! You can insult somebody till their head actually explodes! Sometimes it can be hard to come up with a roast on the fly, they are usually better when they fit the situation but here are some examples that could start you off.

“By the way is your Boyfriend Single. He should be.”

“I would be afraid to do your husband. I’m more woman than you and all 4 of his current mistresses combined”

“In order to learn something you would first have to listen to something other than the cavernous sounds of your own ignorance”

“You are so ugly, that if somebody painted your picture you wouldn’t need a nail or hammer to hang it, the Picture would hang itself for looking like you.”

“Do you use your right hand or your left hand to wipe your ass? Because I use Toilet paper!”

“Of the 4 men your wife is currently fucking, are you one of the side hoes or the idiot who doesn’t know about the others?”

“Your mother is a whore, which is much more successful and respectable than anything you have done with your life.”

“I would try to see things from your point of view but I would never be able to fit my head up my ass.”

“Which hurts more, thinking or seeing your own reflection.”

“Do you know the difference between your face and your ass? Neither do I!”

“You couldn’t even cast a Shadow.”

“I wrote you a poem. Roses are Red, Violence is too. No one here is afraid of you.”

“You seem ill equip for battle, of martial or of wit.”

“You could have asked my permission before showing me something so hideously disgusting.”

“I guess combat is over since there are no significant threats left”

“Was that stick always up your rear, or was it a failed attempt to pleasure yourself.”

“You look like something your father shat out.”

“The last thing you vanquished was your mother’s respect.”

“I need to know, is your head only for decoration? I think you need to get yours replaced.”

“Sorry to interrupt your evil monologue, hold on…what was your name again?”

“You could not pour water out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel.”

“Go back to the sewers and be among the shit where you belong.”

“I know you are an assassin but I didn’t know you were hired to kill fashion.”

“This fight will last longer than you do in bed.”

“S’cuse me, I would like to talk to the real boss, cause I know this operation wasn’t cooked up by somebody who’s IQ is below Room Temperature.”

“You have three active braincells but lost one and the other two are still trying to find it.”

“As an outsider what’s you perspective on intelligence”

“You are non of your best friend’s best friend.”

“Your Mother was a Hamster and your Father smelt of Elderberries”

“Your body is a Temple to an Idiot God!”

“I’m glad you're tall...It means there's more of you I can despise!”

“Ugh. What the hell is that all over your face? Oh...its just your face!”

“I swear, if you were any worse at this, you'd be doing our job for us!”

“Some day you'll meet a doppelganger of yourself and be disappointed!”

“Are you always stupid, or are you making a special effort today!”

“Some day you'll go far and I hope you stay there!”

“I’d like to leave you with one thought...but I'm not sure you have anywhere to put it!”

“I would insult you, but your very existance is the greatest insult to all”

“I’d insult your parents, but you probably don't know who they are!”

“I’ve met Wheels of Cheese sharper than you”

“I see some small village is missing its idiot”

“Tell me, did you run away from your parents, or did they run away from you!”

“I expected you to be taller”

“If I paid for 20 idiots and all I got was you, I’d still have gotten my money’s worth.”

“If you were any dumber, you’d need instructions to breathe.”

“I’d fight you with my pocket knife, but I think it would give you length envy”

“If I had a copper piece for every time someone complimented your face, I’d be in debt.”

"All powerful yet you hide from me in the shadows"

"Surrounded by ghouls and zombies yet you're the most hideous thing I've seen"

"Which god's teet are you latched to these days?"

“Pardon me my good Bitch. Do you see all the fucks I give?”

“I’ve seen better asses on the donkey ranch!"

“I cant decide if your a criminal or an orphan.....but then again, a criminal is actually WANTED”

"Not even Hells outhouse can make you into Hot Shit!"

"You look like the type of person who would have 1-2-3-4-5 as the combination on your luggage."

You can tell a lot about people from their way of responding to violence and death. Most Republicans chose mockery in the wake of this weekend’s spate of political killings. They have become the party of cynicism and violence. They have nothing else to offer.
