thoughts/things i liked (re: classics) abt mickey 17 having just got home from seeing it (spoilers)

in the earth alley scene where mickey & timo get cornered by the loan shark there was a coffee shop sign w/ a logo that was obviously meant to be a swastika

this was indeed marshall’s logo that he also put on his clothes

speaking of, the outfit he puts on for the scene where he decides how to punish the mickeys/nasha/the creeper (amongst other bits) was v nazi

marshall’s wife was very imperial woman (livia, agrippina minor etc)

bald cameraman guy was very imperial freedman but ALSO obviously big on religion (both christo-fascism and ancient roman)

aesthetics and morality (creepers, but also marshall)

LOVED the wordplay in the concluding voiceover abt the pro/anti marshall committee (pro/anti martial)

the shot near the end, of the (3?) big smoke clouds - one of them looked like a creeper/the Mother creeper doing the half-upright calling thing

the restrictions on sex was very ancient roman slave master (control of slaves’ sexual lives)

and then the repopulating sex that was more about “we’ve decided you’re having sex now” (during the dinner scene) - also very ancient roman slave master

similarly, deeply unsubtle White Supremacy (pure, vanilla, untouched, (snowy) etc)

tim key

the oxy - v nazis on meth

i’ve undoubtedly forgot some things but i’ll add em when i remember for posterity. i did also like other things (incl. the entire film generally) but these bits in particular pinged in my head as i was watching

yuu cooked too much ft. heartlabyul, floyd, malleus, & ruggie

guys i entered a fugue state & wrote angst?? hcs

mc is used to cooking for a big family & accidentally mistakes recipe proportions, leaving them w way too much food. scenarios of them asking diff twst boys if they'd want some, mentioning why. a bit downtrodden with no family to share it with...

trey, cater, riddle... are touched. trey & cater both have big families, & their eyes soften at the mention of yours. trey especially empathizes with you, before he began cooking and baking for the majority of his dorm he cooked & baked for his family. he identifies with the habits of buying groceries in bulk & the need to keep the house stocked with anything five or more people could ever need (just in case). cater's interested to see what kinds of foods you'll cook. make him something from your heritage! he'll magicam it <3 or just save the memory in a photograph if you'd prefer. he'd love to listen to you talk about recipes & regional preferences & tastes. that goes for riddle too! his mom kept him on a strict diet for his childhood, but now that he's got the opportunity he'd love to learn about your heritage & culture! as he grows more outgoing he's learned more about the cultures of his peers & he'd probably be one of the most qualified (& excited) to answer any questions or point out any similarities with twisted wonderland cultures.

floyd... blinks his big wide eyes once, twice, & then launches himself towards you to wrap his arms tight & pick up straight up off the ground. "awwww, shrimpy misses their troupe! shrimpy's aaalways welcome to bring me dinner! we can play house!! i'll be the dad, you'll be the mom, azul will be our baby, and jade... he can be the dog and go play outside or something." ('- , -) you better stop him before he gets ahead of himself. least likely of octavinelle to bother you about selling the recipe to azul ((he'll give you a cut of the profits!)). still makes you cook in the mostro lounge kitchen, but only because he wants you to grow to feel more at home with him & in an environment he's used to... that way when he gets serious about his & shrimpy's relationship....

the adeuce duo... both go... quiet, at the mention of your past. it wasn't something you avoided talking about when you were reminded of something relevant, or things you enjoyed or saw, but... you don't talk much about your family. they don't ask much about your family. deuce feels a twinge of guilt—he doesn't shy away from talking about his mom, & he loves her too dearly to be ashamed or shy. he wonders if they make you feel as loved as his does. ace wonders if he should ask you about them more often. he's not exactly shy about his own family, but he doesn't exactly ever seek to bring them up in idle conversation. he wonders what your siblings are like. they give each other a resolved look above your head when you're not looking, & now they regularly (as much as they can) come over for dinners at ramshackle! if you're comfortable with it, they invite all the first years too. you hope they feel as familiar & familial to you as you feel for them. they hope you know they do.

malleus... feels a twinge in the back of his throat—maybe behind his eyes? his truest friend feels alone, something he recognizes deeply. he hasn't lost anyone close to him like that—at least, he doesn't feel like it. his lonely was a different sort, where he's never really known family like you have. but, he considers, maybe no one at this school has had to sacrifice more than his prefect. he wonders what dinners were like with that many, & you tell him. the bickering, the debates, the movie nights & commentaries, the nights spent making s'mores(?) over the fireplace. he wants dinners like that with you. you invite him to.

ruggie... might invite you to spend some time over with his family. not immediately, no way, but the thought lingered in his head long enough for his throat to burn with the words (& his cheeks to burn in embarassment). in reality, he grins a big wide grin & laughs his mischeivous little laugh. "i'll NEVER say no to free food. feel free to keep it coming! shehehe." he ends up coming over to help you cook a few times a month. it's a good excuse to spend time with you over a dinner he knows was cooked with love.

i had to google what a group of shrimp is called lol. could've actually been troupe OR run OR colony. i wonder if it's ooc that floyd knows this.... i mean, he is a fish man, so 🤷

sexy himbo jock interpretations of James Tiberius Kirk are silly and do a disservice to the character for a lot of reasons, not least of which is that it fundamentally ignores all the times in canon when Kirk is faced with a scientific discovery or oddity and you can see the effort it takes for him not to clap and skip with excitement. like in ‘the devil in the dark’ when Spock posits that they might be dealing with a silicon based life form and McCoy’s like “but that’s impossible!” and Kirk literally crosses the room to flirt talk excitedly with Spock about the prospect and how it could work! and what it would mean!

What I’m saying is, Kirk’s gotta be smart and a huge dork because how else could he pull a bad autistic bitch like Spock?

lmao if you truly believe gen ai art is somehow a marxist phenomenon "socializing" the labour of love that is uniquely human creation aka art ur actually delusional. artists are some of the most exploited labourers out there rn like the success of so much media hinges on art production from beginning to end they are wrung dry with insane crunch deadlines and kicked to the curb once their contracts are over just to scramble for the next job to stay alive like putting their bodies and finances on the line for their passion just like holy shit are you stupid to find glee as they suffer in such a risky industry. ai art serves capitalism to shovel more advertising and propaganda in your gaping mouths faster than ever without paying or running it by a middleman who might refuse to do that shit on principle and it makes the world a worse fucking place at a far larger scale than any (selfish) benefits it might provide so please for the love of god study some art history or what the industry is like maybe even talk to an artist before you go waxing poetic on a foundation level thesis that amounts to nothing but fart sniffing jargon thank you very much!!!!!

So, a while back ago I commissioned @dweebsfilingcabinet because @mayhemmaybe had a brilliant idea of inserting Shiro and Mephisto into a MTG card that they had, and I was not only immediately onboard with the idea but impatient to make it manifest.

I dunno what I love more: the brilliance and the lighting of the stained glass from the Bloody Fairy Tale inspired images, the sheer power and possessiveness radiating from both sets, or all the yelling and screaming Dweeb and I did with/at each other while they made these beautiful works of art happen, which had us both geeking out the entire time. Like, god fucking damn, I hit the jackpot here!!

Anyway, you should really commission @dweebsfilingcabinet. Their art is always phenomenal, their prices are highway robbery onto themselves, they never disappoint. Please give their sheet a look. It's super worth it and always a fucking masterpiece.

I think it’s interesting how the message of NPMD is very positively nihilistic. The whole “you’re not a nerd because you’re nerdy, you’re a nerd because I said so” speech Max has outside of Pasquali’s is the centerpiece of the whole show, telling us everything we need to know about every character.

Like, the nerds aren’t bullied because they’re nerdy or weird, they’re bullied because one power tripping teenager decided that they would be. And the same thing goes for the cool kids: the only reason they have power is because it’s granted to them by Max, and he’s shown that he can easily take it away. It doesn’t matter how hard they try to fit in, nothing will change.

But that’s also kind of beautiful? Because that means while it’s kind of pointless to fight against this fake social hierarchy, it also kind of encourages these kids to be authentic to themselves. Nerds can freely enjoy their own interests, and the jocks can enjoy theirs.

Either way, Max doesn’t care. He’ll designate you however he pleases with no regard to who you try to be. So, why not just be yourself?

"summerween" it's called hexenacht you historically illiterate dweebs

'historically illiterate dweebs' is too quality of an insult to not publish, also can you share more information on hexenacth? I can tell it's 'night of the witches' in german, but, where I live, halloween is called 'night of the witches' as well! Does germany have an extra summer halloween I didn't know about? Or is this still about gravity falls? Please share the historical lore.
