[ourflagmeansgayrights]

man i saw this and i was gonna write a whole post abt how maybe the problem for these ppl isn’t that ed wasn’t punished enough (even tho that’s what they say) maybe it’s that it’s a poorly-executed redemption arc but they don’t know how to verbalize that.

and that would actually make sense bc ed doesn’t have a redemption arc in s2. bc the show does not think ed needs redeeming. even at his worst and most harmful to the people around him the show is deeply sympathetic towards him and gives us sooooo much screentime dedicated to showing us that everything ed does he only does bc he’s hurting. which doesn’t excuse any of what he does but it does shift the narrative framing away from an actual redemption arc, where a character needs to like, learn why the things they did were bad and try to make amends. but ed never needed to learn anything, he knew his actions were unacceptable and that’s why he did them. he was trying to be the most horrific monster he could be in hopes that someone would get sick of him and kill him.

so then i went looking for an old post i wrote abt redemption arcs to talk abt why ed’s s2 arc probably reads like a poorly-written redemption arc for ppl who are expecting an actual redemption arc and. i change my mind actually. because “is this character willing to accept that their behavior is harmful, to make amends for their past behavior if at all possible, and to try and become a better person?” yeah we see ed do all of that tho.

Accept Their Behavior Is Harmful: i mean aside from the fact that ed knew this the whole time, we also see ed talking to fang about how guilty he feels for how he treated the crew. but like this isn’t zuko slowly unlearning an entire lifetime of fire nation propaganda, ed doesn’t need a season(s)-long arc abt this. He Already Knows

Make Amends For Their Past Behavior: like literally the whole thing with getting pushed off the ship!! wearing a sack and a collar at the crew’s behest!! he’s very much trying to make amends!!!!!

Try To Become A Better Person: there’s a lot i could talk abt here but just on a surface level, he’s trying to quit his job where he attacks and steals from random innocent ppl for a living. like objectively that job does not make you a good person. and also that job makes him miserable and when his mental health is in the shitter sometimes he hurts other ppl in his efforts to hurt himself so like!!! he is very much trying to not be the kind of person who forces crew members to fight to the death anymore!!!!

so yeah, thinking this was abt a “poorly-written redemption arc” was giving these ppl too much benefit of the doubt lol they just want to see ed grovel and suffer for an entire season, which was never going to happen lmao. the show thought izzy had more to apologize for than ed and that’s why ed’s apology was one sentence and izzy’s apology was a whole speech on his deathbed. the show thought izzy needed more punishment for his actions than ed did and that’s we see izzy get put through the physical ringer in the beginning of s2 and ed getting beat to death by the crew happens off-screen. ppl can argue all they want abt how ed did so much worse than izzy but at the end of the day the show disagrees with those takes and that’s why it treats these characters the way it does. die mad about it.

OKAY HEAR ME OUT (js realize I have this horrible grudge on this guy's dad wtf)

Stuart Macher's face had been on national news for the past couple weeks, and Stu was feeling fantastic. When you first hear about his case you'd begin to wonder... "What's so special about him? He only killed his father." new reports could never do his story justice, but blame that on the police because they'd never show the public what Stuart had done to his father.

The way his face was completely disfigured, but to even say that was an understatement! The way the blood pulled in the man's poor caved in face, and only using a thermos his father had gotten for him when he was young. And the fact the police found his father’s blood under his fingernails, and all of it trailed up to his elbows like he was in a pool of it. The house was a wreck, easy to say his dad did not go down easy, a worthy fight Stuart thought.

Stuart was being brought into jail after being found guilty; he was such a cooperative and good little boy in court... A liar would say. When put on the stand he didn't say a fucking word, smiling when both his and the other lawyer began to lose their shit. He smirked at the thought while he stared down at his cuffed hands bruising just barely due to the police men putting them on tightly. Once he was brought to his cell, he was met with a roomie— well not really a roomie, a prison guard who was told to stand and watch Stu for the time being as he got settled in. After he was uncuffed, the guard who brought him to the cell warned the other about his conviction, what he had done to his dad. Billy glances at the prisoner, the boy looked about his age and Stu just dropped out of college after three years of it. Then the other guard walked off and to that Stu walked up to the bars. I mean, could anyone blame Stuart?

So, maybe Stu beat the shit out of his father because daddio flipped when he found gay porno mags under his bed, you gotta stand up to the Man, right? He stared at the cold face individual, the way the man didn't make another attempt to make eye contact and wearing a frown on his face. "Hey.." Stu flicked his hand out to him, pressing his face against the cold and unwelcoming bars. "What's your name, huh?" he smiled as the guard stood there unmoving, completely ignoring the prisoner. He huffed a little, this act was boring.

“Hey! William!” A prisoner had shouted from down the long and bare hallway of cells filled with men and boys in orange jumpsuits. The guard then turned his head to look down the hallway, bingo, Stu chuckles a little.

The prison guard Willaim Loomis was the son of Hank Loomis, the warden of the hellhole they put Stuart Macher in. There’s nothing too special about the place, the prisoners are shit and the prison guards are even shitter– maybe even worse than your average because of Warden Looms. William or Billy, didn’t plan on being in this shithole. Maybe when he was tiny and thought that being the warden would be the coolest thing ever but as he grew he had different desires. He really enjoyed the effects on movies, horror movies to be specific and he was going to head the film route until his father offered him a job at the prison. Billy didn’t want to go. He hated the idea of being in that place filled with shit heads who got caught because they suck. But after a couple of days which turned into months then years he became familiar with the prisoner and it turns out they like him a lot more than he thought they would. William thought being the warden’s kid meant he would have a huge target on his back.

Turns out if you give some guys packs of smokes, and porn mags of women, it can be pretty chill. He does favors for a lot of the guys stuck in here but in return he gets respect.

“Who’s the newbie?” The prisoner asked which led Billy to turn his head at Stu. Stu was still smiling, flashing his gums and teeth as he pulled his hands in to grip the bars tightly. Stuart just wanted to have fun.

“Some dumb fucking kid.” Billy said with disdain and to Billy’s luck Stuart's little act was dropped. The smile was gone and the grip on the bars loosened as he continued to press his face against the bars staring at the asshole. The guys started laughing and taunting Stu as they hit the bars and walls of their cells. It brought a little smirk to Bill’s face. He doesn’t know why but he just really wanted to fuck with this guy, they seem about the same age so it doesn’t really matter to William if this kid, what– Stuart? Respected him. He had an entire prison by his side… What’s this one time murderer gonna do? There's tons of murderers in this place that have killed people multiple times... And Billy has been wanting to push someone's buttons for a very long time. thats all i have thats whagt I wanna present to the class please!!!:D

OOOOOHHHH KAAAAAYYYY ENEKJSOFNWKR

You think the Lady is someone powerful arrogant and cool. Well I happen to know her personally and intimately and I can tell you that she most definitely is not cool. If it wasn't for her shadow fairy floating abilities she'd trip on her carpets and fall flat on her ass because she forgets to pick up her dumbass books. Are they about shadow magic? Are they cringe self written essays? We may never know. I'm not sure the Lady herself knows because her dumbass cannot think the same cohesive thought for a long period of time. She made tea for herself in the Residence and fucking forgot about it like an idiot. Her attention span is a total of 2. 2 what? Seconds? Minutes? Years? Depends on how lucky you are. She has pictures of toilets in her rooms. Its modern art. Don't even bother asking why she has a picture of a bathroom and then a second picture zoomed in on the shitter specifically WHICH IS THE SAME FROM THE OTHER PICTURE. You wouldn't get it. Don't even get me started about the feet. If she wants to keep someone's fucking dogs on her wall then she will have their dogs on her wall. She cuddles her dolls because in her life she has never felt the loving hand of someone else because she is insufferable. ZERO MAIDENS AND ZERO GENTS. And her outfit? Girl? You are gonna pull up to the feast with a SINGLE LAYER OF YUKATA? What is this? This is like if Joe Biden or some other politician (I am not american) pulled up on national television with his pajamas still on. Instead of worrying about the fake ass face Mirror Man conjures up specifically to haunt you maybe you should STOP BUYING THE SAME YUKATA 700 FUCKING TIMES AND GET AN ACTUAL PROPER KIMONO. But girl I get it. You're autistic. I am autistic too. I get it. What I do not get is why you have an hidden stash of alchool behind a bigass painting. Why hide that and not, I don't know, THE PICTURE OF SOMONE'S GODDAMN FEET.

This is who she is. A girloser. The original weird girl. A reclusive femcel. I need her in my bed immediately

[parasiticstars]

Every day I think about how humans are becoming more vile to the point of no return (myself included don’t take this the wrong way) human rights are being questioned like it’s 1980 AGAIN there’s the whole national rape day thing men have somehow gotten worse into 4chan ass behavior especially with the rise of looksmaxxing and transvestigation is rampant (again) and ozempic and heroin chic are in and body standards are getting more and more unrealistic and the internet is a giant ad and big brother has enough of my data to make a clone out of me and AI is literally taking all of our jobs and the fucking Middle East is getting nuked off the map and the housing market is down the shitter and we are experiencing the worst sudden wildlife extinction event to date and America is becoming a christofacist apartheid and I’m walking around with an artificial pulse in a body that doesn’t belong to me and I really genuinely hope we completely fucking nuke ourselves out of existence in 2025. God bless.

Should we read yuri manga shitter nation ?

[allycat75]

Considering this nation is going down the shitter (with some serious help from you), I guess that would qualify you as a "treasure", Boston Dumb Fuck. 🤷‍♀️

Did the guy from Medium write this pap, too?

[plutooonium]

me as a gameshow host: “dude you can’t fucking swear on national goddamn television has your brain gone down the shitter”

[lady-wildflower]

Fuck.

Whelp, shit's about to get bad for anyone who's not a landlord. Especially for the poor and disadvantaged. Smarmy fucking corporate cunt wants to pretend he'll help the people who didn't vote for him, when his policies are designed to fuck us over. To everyone else who's about to get shafted by this punitive fucking disgusting morally bankrupt National-led government's cuts and beneficiary bashing and inflationary policy and racism, just know you're not alone.

A new fucking low. It was nice to feel proud of Aotearoa's progressive government while it lasted. Now I guess all we've got is "at least they might not be the worst of the Tory cunts in the world." Utterly dismayed at how many votes ACT and their disgusting race-baiting anti-Maori rhetoric got. Disgusted by how populist bigotry combined with widespread apathy and gullibility for a vague notion of change - with no understanding of how horrible that change will be - has brought us perhaps the worst government we could have right now.

Also, you get so many talking about moving to Australia, but they're not much better, and it's a bit disheartening to say the least that with Aotearoa about to fall down the right-wing shitter, the rest of the world is just as bad or worse. If I even had the option to leave (which I might not, gotta love being disabled and what our new PM describes as bottom feeder leeches), the only place I'd go might be a hypothetically independent Scotland, if it by some miracle accepted my burdensome arse.

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

To anyone who voted National or ACT: fuck you. From the bottom of my heart, sincerely, fuck you you selfish fucking cunts. You are no friend of mine, because you just voted to upend my life. I depend on the services you just voted to gut so you could get your precious tax cut.

I'm biased for obvious reasons but logging into Instagram today and seeing all the national boyfriend day posts is showing me that the dating pool for women is in the shitter. Like I knew the situation was dire but I didn't know it was this bad.

I’m going to tell you all a little story of a thing that happened at work today.

I work at a grocery store.

A store next door is doing renovations.

This has resulted in the water main being shut off.

Our toilets have been closed for weeks. We have fancy air conditioned porta-potties (complete with air conditioners) to resolve this problem.

A lady in typical Karen haircut arrives at the store and asks my coworker where the bathroom is.

My coworker informs her that the bathrooms are broken, and that we have porta-potties in the parking lot behind her (note: arguably much closer to her than our bathrooms).

She says that no, she needs to use the indoor bathrooms. This is an emergency.

My coworker again points to the porta-potties and also informs her that the bookstore next door does have working bathrooms (note: also closer than our bathrooms).

She moves past my coworker into the store.

She approaches the bathroom hall.

In front of the hallway, there is a large sign stating that the bathrooms are broken. Each bathroom is taped off. She ignores this, and charges forward.

Another coworker sees her and tries to stop her. The woman informs her that “this is an emergency”.

She ducks under the tape and locks the door.

ANOTHER coworker knocks on the door and tells her not to flush, as it will flood the store.

Thank god she did not flush.

At this time, I and another coworker, who had watched this unfold, were due to clock out.

We exit the break room just as she reopens the door.

We make eye contact.

As she ducks under the tape she says, “don’t worry. I didn’t flush!”

As if this changes the fact that someone will have to manually scoop her shit out.

Something about the audacity of it all broke me. I jump back into the break room and proceed to die laughing. Tears down my face. Borderline hysterics. My coworker is prancing around the room holding her fist in the air shouting “SHITTER’S FULL” ala Cousin Eddie of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, which makes it worse.

Yet another coworker enters the room and asks who’s laughing.

It’s obviously me.

He informs me that the lady had walked into the center of the store and gotten outright belligerent that I am laughing at her, besmirching my name to everyone and no one, frothing at the mouth, shaking her fist God.

She is escorted out of the store by a supervisor.

Myself, the supervisor, and the other coworkers go to check the damage.

It’s #2.

She has been banned from our grocery store for life.

A Harsh Winter for Video Making

Hey there, human-people.

Here’s a “little” post about what I’m going to do with my YouTube channel next year. We’ll go over exciting stuff like the electricity situation in Finland, how that affects my video making in the coming year, how I’m going to actually plan what I’m going to do, and what other creative things you will probably start hearing about.

So let’s start with how shit would be hitting the fan in Finland, if that shit wasn’t frozen solid and the fan had power to spin.

Running Out of Electricity

Long story short, Finland is running out of electricity and electricity prices are spiking. Just in time for my cheap electricity contract to end as well. So, I could go on a long, broad strokes analysis of why this is happening, but lets condense: Russia, winter, and that goddamn nuclear reactor that was supposed to be finished 13 years ago and now that it is, its spinny things are broken and it will be fixed right after the coldest, electricity neediest part of the year. Super. And it’s so bad that semi-random parts of the national grid might be shut down for a few hours during the coldest periods, just so that the rest of the country can actually function.

The situation should start to get better March onward, but until then, yeah, thing’s in the shitter, innit? And that means that I might have to pause my video making for a while. And I know, I’ve been pretty uneven with making videos anyhow, but this would mean that I couldn’t work on videos almost at all. This is because currently, the things that consume the most electricity in my apartment are my desktop, that I use to edit, warm water for showers, and making food. Showers I’ve already cut down on and I kinda have to keep on making food, which leaves my dear old desktop.

So, the plan is this: I will continue working on my next bigger video until day temperatures fall under -10 C (14 F). At that point, electricity will be so expensive and the national grid will be under so much stress that I won’t turn on my desktop if I don’t absolutely have to.

But worry ye not, because I have other stuff I’ll be doing.

A Writing Hiatus

When the weather gets too expensive for my liking, I’ll move to working purely on my laptop. It can’t really edit videos (if I have not even that many PDFs open, it will start to crash), but what I can do is write.

I’ve gotten back to writing in the past few months. Years ago I used to write a lot of stuff - short stories, novellas, novel attempts. A lot of them were left unfinished but isn’t that always the case. And for years before that, it was basically part of my identity that I was a writer of some kind. Not published but I just enjoyed the doingness* of it. So what happened? Basically, my studies and my slow descent into exhaustion and burnout.

But I’m back at it again, and this time I’m writing short film and game scripts as well, most of which will most certainly never see the light of day. And I really want to talk about it more, write more about the things I’m doing, be it video or writing related. I’m especially in developing and talking about one scifi setting I’ve created, centred around a particular space station, filled with queerness and all the good things. Basically, I want to share things about my creative efforts a bit more with whoever follows this blog.

Which also means...

Rethinking my Patreon

So, up until now, I’ve mainly updated my channel and video progress on my Patreon as a tier reward. And you might already be going: “Hey, hold on there, comrade. You have a bit over 40 followers, why the heckiebeckie do you have a Patreon?” Well, originally this was so that my sister could support me when I moved away from Twitch when my last job started and I couldn’t realistically stream anymore. And so, I figured I might as well advertise it to other people as well, even though I knew no-one would probably give that kind of support yet. Which is very much okay, because it warms my heart a lot more to hear someone liked my videos rather than get a bit of money from them.

But now, this publishing of updates on Patreon has a slight problem to it: I never have the energy to update outside of it. It’s surprising how big of a drain updating to Patreon is sometimes, especially because I really want to just share everything with everyone. I don’t want to have to think what I can reveal outside of Patreon so that it can still be a special reward as well. I want to tell about the things I’m doing, talk to other people about these things and feel more connected to people who make cool things as well.

What I’m thinking of doing is a choice between a couple of ideas: a) I could just close my Patreon, open it again in the far off future; or b) I could just stop advertising it in my videos and video descriptions, and take off the update reward from the listings, and begin advertising it in the future again. I haven’t quite decided which way I’ll go but I’ll probably update you on that as well.

In any case, you can look forward to more talk about what I’m writing and doing creatively.

Back in the Spring

So, once it gets back to more manageable, cheap weather, I’ll be back to making videos. In the meanwhile, I’ll start writing more things here and on my own. I’ll probably do posts about new series and films I’d normally do videos about and keep writing scripts for longer videos so that I can schedule them for later in the year and get to making them when the spring comes. I also want to get back to making funny fake commercials I made a couple of at some point and maybe some small short films with friends.

I might also start doing more things on Instagram as well, but... Tumblr’s my home. It might not be the greatest place to advertise my kind of content, but the neighbourhood is just so pleasant.

But right now, I’ll keep working on my next longer video as long as the weather permits and you can look forward to a post about the scifi setting I mentioned earlier.

But in any case, I’ll see you in the next post.
