GENERATION LOSS SPOILERS 

heads up

a fun detail that i noticed in the finale of gen loss was this directory sign:

because you know what the bottom one lowkey looks like? that forest from the very first time Ranboo opened the door in Spirit of the Cabin. it could also just be another like, nothing is really happening and you are still in the show type thing. idk if this is intentional or not but either way I thought it was neat.

one of the things that's the most fucking frustrating for me about arguing with climate change deniers is the sheer fucking scope of how much it matters. sweating in my father's car, thinking about how it's the "hottest summer so far," every summer. and there's this deep, roiling rage that comes over me, every time.

the stakes are wrong, is the thing. that's part of what makes it not an actual debate: the other side isn't coming to the table with anything to fucking lose.

like okay. i am obviously pro gun control. but there is a basic human part of me that can understand and empathize with someone who says, "i'm worried that would lead to the law-abiding citizens being punished while criminals now essentially have a superpower." i don't agree, but i can tell the stakes for them are also very high.

but let's say the science is wrong and i'm wrong and the visible reality is wrong and every climate disaster refugee is wrong. let's say you're right, humans aren't causing it or it's not happening or whatever else. let's just say that, for fun.

so we spend hundreds of millions of dollars making the earth cleaner, and then it turns out we didn't need to do that. oops! we cleaned the earth. our children grow up with skies full of more butterflies and bees. lawns are taken over with rich local biodiversity. we don't cry over our electric bills anymore. and, if you're staunchly capitalist and i need to speak ROI with you - we've created so many jobs in developing sectors and we have exciting new investment opportunities.

i am reminded of kodak, and how they did not make "the switch" to digital photography; how within 20 years kodak was no longer a household brand. do we, as a nation, feel comfortable watching as the world makes "the switch" while we ride the laurels of oil? this boggles me. i have heard so much propaganda about how america cannot "fall behind" other countries, but in this crucial sector - the one that could actually influence our own monopolies - suddenly we turn the other cheek. but maybe you're right! maybe it will collapse like just another silicone valley dream. but isn't that the crux of capitalism? that some economies will peter out eventually?

but let's say you're right, and i'm wrong, and we stopped fracking for no good reason. that they re-seed quarries. that we tear down unused corporate-owned buildings or at least repurpose them for communities. that we make an effort, and that effort doesn't really help. what happens then? what are the stakes. what have we lost, and what have we gained?

sometimes we take our cars through a car wash and then later, it rains. "oh," we laugh to ourselves. we gripe about it over coffee with our coworkers. what a shame! but we are also aware: the car is cleaner. is that what you are worried about? that you'll make the effort but things will resolve naturally? that it will just be "a waste"?

and what i'm right. what if we're already seeing people lose their houses and their lives. what if it is happening everywhere, not just in coastal towns or equatorial countries you don't care about. what if i'm right and you're wrong but you're yelling and rich and powerful. so we ignore all of the bellwethers and all of the indicators and all of the sirens. what if we say - well, if it happens, it's fate.

nevermind. you wouldn't even wear a mask, anyway. i know what happens when you see disaster. you think the disaster will flinch if you just shout louder. that you can toss enough lives into the storm for the storm to recognize your sacrifice and balk. you argue because it feels good to stand up against "the liberals" even when the situation should not be political. you are busy crying for jesus with a bullhorn while i am trying to usher people into a shelter. you've already locked the doors, even on the church.

the stakes are skewed. you think this is some intellectual "debate" to win, some funny banter. you fuel up your huge unmuddied truck and say suck it to every citizen of that shitbird state california. serves them right for voting blue!

and the rest of us are terrified of the entire fucking environment collapsing.

ok for context: I’m making an in-depth danger days lore slideshow because...why not? this means that I’ve been rereading the comics, and I need somewhere to talk about the mad gear and missile kid, so now yall have to hear about it.

so for those who don’t know, the mad gear and missile kid is an EP that MCR released after (i think it was after) the Danger Days album, its basically what the Fab Four are listening to in the Trans AM when they are driving in the music videos (if you havent listened to it, go do that now its very good). but the reason im losing my mind is the info about the actual guy Mad Gear.

Apparently, mad gear is technically the only band member in the canon comics. its explained in the short story Dead Satellites (oh spoiler warning!) that mad gear had a "weird caffeine-induced vision of him and a sentient weapon dancing onstage.” so thats missile kid. the vision weapon ig? mad gear thinks that his music will essentially shake the sky enough to drop the weapon down from the heavens, which mad gear can then use to fuck up BL/ind. sidenote: at the end of that short comic, two killjoys find a crater with a figure at the bottom after a mad gear concert. they assume it was a BL/ind surveillance system, realize oh shit BLi is gonna try and get it back, and end up dying. i kinda hope that was an allusion that missile kid actually exists and mad gear might eventually find them (whatever they are), but thats just me thinking.

tbh, this is mostly be info-dumping about neat lore but its also kind of a wild bit of info so if you’ve read this far, now you’ve got a fun fact from a very sleep deprived guy!

my text disappeared here when i posted. what happened

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

I NEEEEEEED Kurt shippers. or just Kurt insane people to know that the german word for tail is also german slang for penis

"You like my tail dont you" said in german ("Du magst meinen schwanz, oder?") will be read as "you like my dick dont you" by a german

this isnt to discourage people from using the word Schwanz, the oposite, i want people to write Kurt saying that because he WOULD
