When I started playing metaphor my biggest complaint was how lazy a lot of it felt borrowing too much from persona 5 specifically but I'm in the last dungeon and now there's basically nowhere left for the plot to go the plot really is the worst part of this game

Want to see a man famous for eating worms without having to go to a carnival? Sure you do! Women farting? Uh hunh. Or what about sassy cats? Right.

And that’s before we even get to, g-d forbid, the Dark Web. Or Joe Rogan.

On fame, it was the famous artist Andy Warhol himself who had prognosticated that in the future (now our past) everyone would be famous for 15 minutes. Probably/possibly a throwaway line but it gained traction. In the past. Now in the present of the Hawk Tuah Girl who is famous for miming a sloppy blowjob on TikTok, or Kyle Rittenhouse who shot more people than he’s had dates, it’s not nearly as exciting as it first may have seemed.

Idols da ARR Labels são flagrados em festa fora de controle no porto de Incheon

Na madrugada do dia 8 de maio, a polícia de Seul foi chamada para acabar com uma festa que estava acontecendo em um barco de classe alta no porto de Incheon. Segundo os passantes que fizeram a denúncia, a festa vinha acontecendo desde as 16h da tarde com música muito alta e uma quantidade altíssima de pessoas, além de quantias exacerbantes de álcool e drogas. Após averiguação, foi constatado que era uma festa de aniversário, e quem fez a denúncia alega que a festa só continha celebridades da indústria do entretenimento. Dentre os nomes apontados pelos mesmos estão as seguintes celebridades:

As atrizes Suki e Camilla. Os solistas Paris e Chaemin. Jack e Junny do Burst. Eugene, Gabi e Wine do Timeless. Mara do Nephentes. Hawk, Shoto, Victor e Ying do Narcissus. Kolt e Ewan do 2U.

A polícia foi até o local, mas saiu sem fazer nenhuma apreensão, permitindo que a festa continuasse noite a dentro. As informações ainda estão sendo averiguadas e nenhuma empresa se pronunciou sobre o assunto.

Comentários dos netizens.

[+277 -82] Narcissus em época de comeback e fazendo uma merda dessas… Não sei porque não me surpeende mais.

[+433 -285] Mentira que os mais velhos do Timeless estão todos nessa? Eles não debutaram tipo, ontem? Que mal exemplo pros mais novos do grupo.

[+356 -140] Esse Chaemin não é aquele do Vicci? Aposto que os meninos devem estar muito decepcionados com ele vendo isso.

[+468 -389] É a segunda vez que vocês só hoje que vocês enfiam o nome da Camilla em algo nada a ver e essa porcaria nem é confirmada, vocês não se cansam?

[+358 -137] A Paris é uma lady, jamais se meteria em algo assim, parem de inventar coisas idiotas.

[+387 -188] Eu não esperava isso do Nephentes, acho que deve ser verdade que a gente nunca conhece nossos idols.

[+289 -42] Os 2U tudo com quase 40 anos e ainda sendo criticados por adolescente por se divertirem.

[+356 -189] É sério que vocês estão acreditando no que essa merda de site posta? Claramente estão querendo boicotar todo mundo.

[+389 -287] Eu bem que sempre achei os meninos do Burst com cara de problemáticos, acho que estava certo.

[+376 -249] Digo o mesmo da Suki, sempre achei que ela tivesse cara de troublemaker.

I watched Queer yesterday and I have FEELINGS about all of it. First of all, brava, it was amazing. The acting, the costumes, the cinematography, the soundtrack, it all worked for me. I am going to be gnawing on this for a while. But to satisfy my immediate urge to scream into the void about this movie, I want to talk about cameras, in both the book and the movie.

In the intoduction to the 1985 edition of Queer, William S. Burroughs wrote-

What Lee is looking for is contact or recognition, like a photon emerging from the haze of insubstantiality to leave an indelible recording in Allerton's consciousness... Lee does not know that he is already committed to writing, since this is the only way he has of making an indelible record, whether Allerton is inclined to observe or not.

For context, the semi-autobiographical Queer makes Burroughs into Lee, and Eugene Allerton is the fictional version of Lewis Marker (seen here with Burroughs in 1951), who Burroughs pursued intensely.

In a letter to Allen Ginsburg, Burroughs states, "I wrote Queer for Marker." Their relationship fell apart in the course of writing the book, with Burroughs penning repeated letters to Marker in an attempt to reconnect. The longing for "recognition", to leave an "indelible record", is pervasive in the narrative. And the camera serves as a physical manifestation.

🚫 SPOILERS FOR "QUEER" BELOW THE CUT 🚫

In the book, the camera makes its first appearance immediately after Allerton and Lee first sleep together. Lee mentions that Allerton's camera is in pawn, and he offers to buy it back for him.

After they get the camera out of hawk, Allerton does not express any gratitude, and becomes "nervous and irritable" and after a tense conversation the the cafe he abandons Lee, refusing to make future plans.

In the movie (at least the theatrical cut, I mourn for that lost hour) the camera just appears as an object belonging to Allerton. However, the tense scene in the cafe remains, and ends with Allerton getting up to abruptly leave, nearly leaving the camera. Lee stops him, handing him the camera before he goes.

Lee in the book sees the incident with the camera as indicative of their relationship, saying -

He forced himself to look at the facts. Allerton was not queer enough to make a reciprocal relation possible. Lee's affection irritated him... Allerton did not recognize friends who made six-hundred-peso gifts, nor could he feel comfortable exploiting Lee. He made no attempt to clarify the situation. He did not want to see the contradiction involved in resenting a favor which he accepted. Lee found that he could tune in on Allerton's viewpoint, though the process caused him pain, since it involved seeing the extent of Allerton's indifference. "I liked him and I wanted him to like me," Lee thought. "I wasn't trying to buy anything."

While the story of their trip I to the jungle is vastly different from book to movie (which I am sure will be its own future ramble) they end very much the same - abruptly and with no closure.

While Lee wanted reciprocal affection, when he realizes that is unlikely to happen, he does buy Allerton's attention by paying for their trip to South America. In the book, the camera isn't mentioned during their journey, but its inclusion in the movie feels like a solid artistic choice. Allerton is along as an observer, after all, giving Lee the recognition and indelible record he longs for.

The final chapter, in the book and the movie, finds us back in Mexico City, two years after Lee's trip with Allerton and an extended absence by Lee himself. In the book, Lee is seeking subjects to take pictures of, but mostly resorts to snapping portraits of unwilling people. He says -

There is in fact something obscene and sinister about photography, a desire to imprison, incorporate, a sexual pursuit of intimacy.

The movie, though, offers an absolute gut punch. Two years have passed in the literal blink of a cinematic eye, spitting Lee back out with a camera and Allerton's haircut. It is as if he has become the observer he so desperately wanted, but still he is seeking out Allerton. It made me think of a line from Burroughs' introduction to the book -

While it was I who wrote Junky, I feel that I was being written in Queer.

One of the things I find fascinating is the self editing that took place between when Queer was written in 1952, and published in 1985. Burroughs writes in the introduction about how the death of his wife had influenced the book, and never once mentions Marker. But his memory clearly still stuck with Burroughs, as the editor of the 2010 edition of Queer notes that Allerton appears as a character in My Education and The Soft Machine.

Annnnnyway, I can promise I will be revisiting Queer. AND if you are like me and could not get into Junky, I highly suggest still giving Queer a read.

combat skill ranking of bats etc? i feel like i know what order you'd put but i love the way you explain things

idc about powerscaling except for interesting narrative reasons…. so this will be no evidence only vibes. and yeah i really feel like my opinions won’t be a surprise at all + im not interested in arguing about it but in brief

cass — obvsly. borderline superhuman eugenics baby. i don’t think there’s any elaboration needed but what isn’t talked about so much is she can dodge bullets and outrun a speeding car so like. she’s gonna curbstomp any vanilla human

dick — i know people disagree w me on this and like. yeah bruce could be considered a stronger physical combatant but dick is also the only person who’s better than cass at something and we know he excels at crowd control. he’s an acrobatic prodigy from birth, he’s got a really good strategic mind, and he’s really fast. he doesn’t hit hard but he hits a lot. u can’t catch him if he’s flipping around all over the place then launches himself at u going 80mph

bruce (and damian) — i only rank bruce higher cause damian is a lil baby. i dislike the idea that bruce is thee physical combatant, even ignoring cass, cause frankly bc and wildcat and connor hawke and richard dragon should all be substantially better. he’s really good at ten things vs a mastery of one. anyway he’s really big and still light on his feet. he has a fun belt full of bombs. he’s super bossy

once damian’s older i think he’ll surpass bruce easily (and possibly dick too). everyone else im really so so about. i’d rank babs and tim just after bruce probably. people act like tims only ability is his intelligence when he’s also one of the best staff fighters on the planet and it’s weird. steph is down towards the bottom because a lack of formal experience compared to everyone else, but is still very powerful when she hits. duke also has less experience but an edge with his powers and training w cass. jason…. he’s deffo closer to the top but idk i subscribe to the idea that there’s always going to be some subconscious adjustment to the new body he’s stuck in. he’s taller, he’s very capable, he’s a master of weaponry. but like pretty much everyone else he doesn’t have the physical advantage that someone like cass or damian have. i do not believe he can take dick grayson in a fair fight. sorry. partially for realism but mostly for tragic robin legacy reasons, yknow?
