#dangers bitch

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

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

Thinking about marriage/women's rights on Vulcan Some may think that T'Pring not being allowed to divorce Spock was because he was going through the pon farr but if she were allowed to divorce him at all she probably would have done that a long time ago, confirmed by T'Pol when she's speaking with Koss, who isn't suffering from the pon farr. She says that he can choose another mate (without invoking a fight it seems: note the difference between a 'mate' and a 'challenger') and after he makes it clear that nothing she says will change his mind about marrying her, she finally threatens to declare a kal-if-fee. It's clear that Vulcan women cannot divorce/refuse to marry a man they've been betrothed to under any circumstances if A) He himself doesn't consent to ending their marriage or B) She doesn't have someone else waiting in the wings to be given to in his stead. Though, if the challenger she selects fails to win the fight, she'll have to marry her betrothed anyway unless (again) he decides he doesn't want her after the challenge. That seems like an incredibly unfair system, heavily biased towards men. SNW is an alternate universe in many obvious respects but most egregiously in that T'Pring has a lot of non-canonical agency over her relationship with Spock. It's interesting to me that Vulcan society has women in many positions of power and treats women as equal to men from what I've seen despite these laws. We don't really see Vulcans exhibiting a misogynistic attitude towards women in general but in TOS (perhaps because of its general writing style but it's still interesting to note) both Sarek and Spock take on patriarchal attitudes specifically regarding wives. Amanda says that 'of course' Sarek commands her because "he is a Vulcan and I am his wife." It's worthwhile in my eyes to note that she specifies 'wife' instead of attributing this attitude to women as a whole. Again, with TOS' writing style it wouldn't be out of place for her to say "he is a man and I am a woman." Spock, while in a pon farr induced irritation, states that it's "undignified for a woman to play servant to a man that isn't hers" - again implying that there's something specific about being a Wife in Vulcan society which is different from being a woman in general and demands subservience to a husband. This could perhaps stem from the extreme sense of ownership that Vulcan law has permitted men to have over women. A woman legally cannot point blank refuse marriage. There is no option which guarantees she won't have to marry her betrothed other than death. When T'Pau speaks of T'Pring she refers to her as being 'property' and Stonn, before being interrupted, states he's made 'the ancient claim' - we don't know what this is because he gets cut off but it's obvious they're both using the language of Vulcan law. Men are permitted true freedom to choose. If a woman wants to choose someone else to be with there is no option available to her other than the kal-if-fee which might result in the death of the one she wants to be with. And, if her lover fails, her husband can still just decide he wants to marry her and she'll be forced to. T'Pring gives two scenarios: One where Spock 'frees' her and one where he doesn't - it's still ultimately his decision which is clear when he ends the conversation with "Stonn, she is yours." This again isn't just because of the pon farr as T'Pol also goes through this. Koss can choose another mate and when the option is talked about there's no implication that this would result in any sort of fight (both by the casualness of its mention and by the fact that there's no formal word for it unlike the kal-if-fee.) Also, the fact that Koss does eventually grant T'Pol a divorce and it's all fine means that T'Pol isn't lawfully required to have another man waiting if her HUSBAND doesn't want her. It's ONLY required if SHE doesn't want her husband. Tradition must take precedence over individual desire UNLESS!!! You're a man. Then it's fine. Like, your parents might not be happy but legally you're golden.

So…Blurr in the loop keeps saving people, right?

And on a surface level, that’s what he has to do. It’s what’s in the script, so to speak — the part he’s been cast in living all these lives. Because part of being cooler than the main protagonist can also involve being more heroic.

And maybe would he appreciate those brief moments of heroism — the applause, the spotlight? Feeling good for a moment amidst an otherwise miserable existence?

But at an even deeper level, maybe those lives matter. Particularly those blurr gets close to. Because despite knowing none of it will last, in spite of what he tells himself — he does seem to still make connections and get close to others.

And it’s one thing knowing they’ll lose him. He’ll lose them. He’s going to die. It’s inevitable. Unchangeable.

But it’s something else to think he’ll lose them because they’ll die. And he’ll remain. Have to figure out going on without them in the same place for once.

And maybe…maybe he can’t change his own fate. But maybe he can change theirs. Keep them alive till after he’s gone.

Because it has to mean something. Doesn’t it?

(And would he think of them sometimes? Try to remember the names and faces and places. The brief good times. When he’s far away — living a different life in a different universe. Try and imagine where the lives that intersected with his have gone — what they must be doing now. Because if they’re out there, somewhere, still living then maybe that means there is something that endures and doesn’t get totally swept away and lost to the loop.)

HE CANT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE FOR HIMSELF BUT HE CAN DO THAT FOR OTHERS

He can’t live but he still can make sure the most amount of bots will survive the thing that will inevitably kill him.

Actually that very much aligns with the tendency I see in his deaths in canon. Old versions of Blurr (like marvel comics) are dying just..to die? While the newer ones (like cyberverse, IDW) are dying while making sure everyone else will live.

He also somewhat becomes more and more of a bitchy bastard throughout continuities haha. Which also fits very well with the death loop.

He gradually learns to care about people’s lives instead of their opinions on him. Therefore progressing from adorable coward to arrogant hero

Haven't drawn Faux in a while; decided to give him some touch-ups

Since his old setting wrapped up, he's kinda just been on the back burner, but I thought it could be neat to give him the broad "mercenary-for-hire" archetype? NGL I heard "Put Me to Work" by Big Data and something clicked in my brain:

Set me off See what I'm worth Turn me on I go berserk I don't care If I get hurt No I don't care Just put me to work

Someone who doesn't care about the safety of themselves (or occasionally others) as long as the job gets done, hence the missing arm. I thought that could be interesting considering he's a Zoroark too; not sure if that would impair the illusion abilities or to what degree if so?

(None of this is the meaning of the original btw; the actual song is about automation taking over and replacing human jobs LOL)

Anyways don't mind me I'm rambling ahnsdgahnsdf

"Big. Mistake."

[shithowdy]

ignoring every single ethical/environmental/philosophical/etc. argument about generative ai the fact that you can't do a simple google image search without either running a bloated script to exclude various websites OR outright excluding any image posted before 2022 without having to slog through unusable ugly bullshit like this in the results is... tiresome.

(before you say "just stop using google search": how about i walk to your house and chase you with a knife; you should be fine since you're so good at missing the point)
