OK! I want to talk about this movie from a white Irish perspective as its really important.

Ireland is in a unique position. We have suffered from colonialism but we also benefit from white supremacy. These days an Irish immigrant will be welcomed in places like America and Canada with open arms.

At the worst we will endure off colour remarks about the famine or Irish names and language is mocked or we get represented as stereotypes. Which does suck. But poc (both Irish and not) have it soooooooooo much worse.

We have a long history of suffering from either Britain or the Roman Catholic church. We are still processing the potato famine. I live in their shadows and it's an odd feeling that's hard to describe.

Remmick has experienced colonialism first hand but he isn't immune to being racist. He wants to use Sammie to bring back HIS culture and people. He erases Black & Chinese culture to perform HIS music. Everyone being stuck in a hive mind was VERY intentional. He sees his actions as "saving" people from the KKK but he is erasing him. Much like Get Out, he is the type of white person who would say "I sees no colour uwu" and then proceeds to take people and homogenised them. Yer man was 🤏 this close to accusing everyone of reverse racism. Remember Slim did say something like "white people like our music but not us".

Like a lot of Irish immigrants, he was able to integrate. He speaks in a southern accent and is racist towards Native Americans to gain the KKK's Kouples sympathy. Remmick being Irish is important. Irish Americans love using their heritage as a shield against criticism. Making up shit like "the Irish were slaves too". There were no Irish slaves but there were Irish slave owners.

Ireland can be racist. So many people like to think Ireland is all white place and Irish poc spung up overnight. (Chirst where do they think the spice bag came from). With the Internet, Irish racists these days are just parroting American racists. They attack libraries, they burn buildings for refugees and they use the same talking points. It feels like they've been taking over by something else. The Government barely does anything about. In fact they love using refugees as a scape goat for the housing crisis!

Tldr: COOGLER IS RIGHT TO CALL OUT THE IRISH!!! LET👏 HIM 👏COOK!!!!

I swear to God is any of ye try to turn Remmick into your sad little meow meow I will bite you!!!! He is sympathetic and does a funny jig, yes, but he's still a special kind of EVIL! If you want a sad wet cat of a vampire, Monsignor Pruitt from Midnight Mass is over there!

Edit: Seriously though, there's a bunch of wonderfull characters in this movie. My heart broke seeing them becoming vampires and die. I do not want people to just water this movie down to wow white evil vampire🥰. (Yes I'm aware I am doing this but I'm pointing out why he's important to the story not calling him a sweet cinnamon roll)

Today I would like to shout out that one random Twitter person who made up that JD Vance bragged about fucking a couch.

Imagine making a random shitpost and less than two months later your joke is being used by a major party nominee for Vice President on live television at his introduction rally, earning him thunderous applause.

That poster must be having quite the experience.

How do charr hands function? Here's my headcanon (with drawings!)

So I made this poll earlier today and I ended up making some sketches to explain how I headcanon charr hands and their supposedly retractable yet too big claws. The idea is that both the game and the books are partially right: claws can be big (not as big as the models), and they're semi-retractable (so fully-fluffy paws). [Disclaimer: I am bad at anatomical drawings and did not try to make them super accurate :')]

Basically charr fingers are made of three phalanges, but functionally they're just two, with the 2nd and 3rd being much shorter and sort of "merging" with the claw itself, which is mostly supported by the 3rd and starts very close to the knuckle between them. The palm is covered almost entirely by a skin pad/paw pad, which usually extends to the first phalanx of each finger, and the fingertips are covered by pads as well.

The claws are semi-retractile, though the exact range of motion depends on the individual's genetics (claw size and shape + hand anatomy) and preferences (how much they trim the claw). The ability to retract their claws is managed by specialized extra tendons and muscles in the hand's structure, and they can lock the claw in place or move it, even while the fingers are bent, though with some limitation at the extremes of movement. While the claw at rest will stay at a "safe" angle, the claw's bed can shift on the cartilage structure when pulled, sliding back into a "sheathed" position or be pushed outwards. [note: I was too scared to go too far with the "x-ray" sketches and probably the claws could go a bit further back in the finger lol]

Ancestrally, this system kept the claws from always digging into the ground and losing sharpness when running on all fours, while still allowing for extra grip when necessary (similar to cheetahs) and the use when fighting or taking down prey. During the evolutionary transition in which charr started walking upright most of the time and using tools, it lost some of its ancestral necessity and functionality. However, instead of turning into something vestigial, charr evolved the ability of controlling each claw's movement independently from the rest of the finger, allowing for greater precision, fine motor skills and dexterity.

The pad grants grip and softer manipulation of items, while the claw handles movements finer and more precise than the pad allows, and other races find it complex, fascinating or a bit freaky. Some say that charr are as dexterous than humans, if not more, which is quite an accomplishment for creatures with such big hands.

That said, variety is huge among charr. Some have stubby paws with big, wide claws, while others have long, slender fingers with narrow claws.

Claws are still used as a natural weapon by many soldiers, but it's totally not uncommon for charr to file their claws down or keep them blunt, as there's a huge variety of reasons for not wanting sharp knives on one's fingers (job requirements, handling of delicate materials, safer interactions with cubs or creatures with softer skin, personal preference, etc), and some even keep their claws at different lengths for specific uses.

That said, claws can't be trimmed beyond the quick without bleeding or potential damage, and since it extends out of the sheath it's not possible for a charr to fully sheath their claws. Claws grow quite fast to make up for the daily wear and tear, so upkeep must be done regularly, as trimming too much might temporarily impact coordination. Declawing can happen during combat or following injury, and those affected might wear prosthetics/fake claws to make up for it.

yall are about to piss me off by not having any PASSING basic knowledge of the way the u.s. military manipulates its recruits into joining by typing up one of your uninformed, unresearched, unempathetic, individualistic, unbelievably annoying posts about how 100% of the people in the military ended up there because they just Love America So Damn Much! they're extremely mature and informed at time of recruitment, they can totally leave anytime they want, they totally had tons of other avenues in life they could've taken, there was no rush at all to get income as fast as possible, and everyone in the military also totally is part of the combat divisions and personally enjoys being IN the military very much, big believers of violence. everyone in the military is shooting guns all day, that's how that works. they LOVE BLOODSHED. also I love the "amewicans haha" twang to this type of shit because you're actually TOTALLY stealing our Thing, which is turning systemic issues into Individual Issues. Instead of talking about the powers that be, it's so Personal Choice up in here. It's, "well you shouldn't have done it then. I totally wouldn't because I know better." you don't wanna talk about the military industrial complex as a whole, and you don't want to talk about recruiters, you just want to pin the blame on Specific Individual People one-by-one, as if they're responsible for the system that they're being ground up in. someone was in the military? bad person, no matter what. it's easier to believe that, I guess, than to acknowledge that Normal People (with high school educations) are manipulated and incentivized into joining a system that is Bad. at like age 18. but yeah no that 18 year old should have just been smarter lol haha anyway here are some screenshots for no particular reason

side note this reply of someone going "umm just get loans and go into a high paying field it's easy XD" as a direct response to someone trying to explain how most americans joining the military are being funneled in that direction out of a need for money.

and another person who Decided that americans join the military just CLENCHING their teeth thinking of other people, and not thinking completely selfishly about their own selves and their own income/housing/healthcare.
