Hi! Quick question - when submitting propaganda, are we only submitting things from the movies in which are scrunglies are…y’know, scrungly? Like take Claude Rains for example, is he only restricted to gifs of him looking like a homeless dude in Moontide(1942) or can we submit like polished headshots or whatnot? Just thought I’d ask beforehand! I’m so stoked for this poll!!

The polls are about scrungliness, not hotness, so please submit propaganda that you feel conveys scrungliness. Generic hot photos won't be boosted because this is not a hot tournament.

With that said, please be considerate of how you're framing scrungliness. I'm going to post more about this tomorrow but some propaganda submissions had a troubling habit of conflating difference with scrungliness, and it really bothers me. Like in this ask—be careful about how you're throwing the word "homeless" in like it's shorthand for weird, ok? Being homeless is just...being homeless. It doesn't make you weird or strange and it shouldn't be used that way. The casual tone some of the submitted propaganda had toward class/race/disability has really bothered me and I'll post a longer discussion of this before the tournament starts.

Watched the jenna oretga Wednesday addams show. Loved her but her two love interests reminded me of this meme

It baffles me how people honestly hate Nesta so much. She’s literally done nothing more than being mean with people who test her limits and not being your typical demure female character, while she’s literally risking herself and trying to save everyone since like book 1. This should be studied because you’re telling me you hate this character out of all these bunch of actual assholes?

can't stop thinking about all the swarm motifs from the return tour, that've yet to resurface. my impulse is that that'll have something to do with the resistance during the concrete age. like there's the black parade (reanimated?) as the national band, a forcibly (?) adopted symbol of the Grand Immortal Dictator's government, and the swarm (or something related to it) is what's working to take it down and bring liberation

actually, to elaborate on that, the description on ig says that "their work privilege has been reinstated", so I believe that the Black Parade may have originally been a symbol of the resistance, and now they're being rebranded as a symbol of the regime. which is something we see all the time in real life, people or movements that start out with genuinely liberatory intentions + actions, that are then appropriated by empire to neutralize any revolutionary potential

I've seen some people suggest that the patient is the GID, but I don't think that's right. I think that the patient is someone who had a connection to the Black Parade in his youth, and like the secretary, ended working for the GID, and ends up in a position similarly close position to power, but without working as a double agent. going off the lyrics of foundations of decay, I think the patient is the male figure in that song, and discovers her disloyalty, but pleads to him change his tune, and he ends up getting credit for her works, because they both die before her legacy has a chance to be redeemed ("he gets to die a saint, but she will always be the whore").

cw for suicide mention below

I think that foundations is about his reflections on her influence. I think it's obvious now that the whole song is connected to The Black Parade as an album, but I feel like it's an especially close corollary to Disenchanted. I think he finds out about her disloyalty, and as he's reflecting on everything he's done to bring about the Concrete Age, resulting from some kind of interaction with her, he realizes the evil that he's been a part of, and kills himself. Because another key part of foundations is that you can either cling to the remnants of the dying concrete age because it's more familiar and comforting, or you can stop being a coward and embrace the change of the swarm and all the messy, imperfect possibilities, and I think á la Javert in Les Mis, he can't live with the comprehension of what he's contributed to.

it's tough to work out with the limited lore that we've got so far, but that's my two cents so far.

I gotta be so real right now, writing in this fandom sucks so much sometimes. this is so little interaction to be had and those that are here are usually just looking for an argument.

I love creating and writing but I feel like I push myself to write for a dying thing I once had. Fandom 10 years ago was SO different compared to now. No one interacts. People only comment when they want an update. It’s exhausting.

Don’t mean to rant, it’s just frustrating when you put a lot into something only to feel lonely about it. I love writing fanfic but I feel like you get to a point where you wonder why you’re doing it if there’s no one to share it with, if that makes sense.

Hi prequel community. If I said that I think the reason why there were only two prequels compared to the three that the other parts of the series got (3 TSY books and 3 TCY books) AND the reasons why Rhian's eye colour changes miraculously from Rise to Fall from green to blue (I think he's described as having green eyes in Rise? someone might have to correlate me on that) is because in Rise he's supposed to parallel TSY Sophie (green eyes, doubtfully good, multiple boyfriends) and then in Fall he's supposed to parallel Japeth (blue eyes, fratricidal, insane, gets cool one liners) how would you react to that

i wish fingernails wasnt so boring and people actually watched it cause i think about that scene in the shower..... and i wish everyone else did too

OH MY GODDD ANON. ANON I… I LOVE THAT SCENE SO MUCH… it’s so intimate. God I wish that were me

I’ve seen about half of Jeremy’s movies that he’s been in. Iron claw is the best one I’ve seen of him. Fingernails was unfortunately one of the better ones… which says a lot…

I didn’t care for Viena and the fantomes. Didn’t capture my attention. Jeremy with black hair though…? OUGH. OOGA BOOGA.

He was also scrumptious in fremont even though he’s only in the last 15 minutes. I felt fremont dragged on as well but it’s one of the movies I liked more

Ok, back to girlblogging eheh (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

the lodger's new roommate or the lodger's old roommate, a tale of woe

i mounted them using the forty pound command strips and the lodger ripped them down thrice. message received

also, i'm into site specific maps lately and thinking a lot about hand drawn maps. i drew a map of the roads between my girlfriend's house and mine and i like how it turned out

i treated myself to early solstice presents this week: fancy new earbuds that sound so good, new trail shoes, a pink krink k-42 with an opacity that will make you swoon, and a t-shirt by an artist i like. i am still struggling with wanting stuff

i hosted all four of finn's cats yesterday while pest control treated their building. we had a nice visit. kreg keeps saying she wants to live here but i know she would miss her finnie

it got in the high fifties yesterday. i opened all my windows to let the fresh air flow and did a big clean. it was such a pretty day

i have been writing more poems lately. they are built like tiny verbal wunderkammer and filled with bright treasures i find on my rambles. i think, with practice, they are getting better

i'm making cornbread stuffing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and roasted chicken this weekend. a makeup dinner for the traditional thanksgiving feast i missed last month

this year has been so packed full of change for me. a struggle that has plagued me for the last four years ended in a most dramatic way. a brutal passage that i survived, mostly, intact. i wish it could have ended some other way, but at least now, it's finally over

[supersecretnerd]

Ok so these designs are cute as hell, the Internet is just mean

I have too many thoughts about a game I still need to watch

[red-dyed-sarumane]

if i have to see one more "vocaloid is dying theres no producers but deco anymore" post im GOING to BITE people. we live in an age of accessibility theres more vocaloid producers than u could ever feasibly take count of. every vocaloid event - vocaloid collection, mushoku toumeisai, proseka next to name the biggest ones but theres even more out there- gets THOUSANDS of uploads. vocaloid isnt dying you're just too used to getting fed by the algorithms to bother actually looking for things u like. either that or no one taught u how to interact with vocalo beyond idolizing the characters. take my hand. i can show you the way.
