Anastasia the Musical sucks so bad. They really said "We're gonna cut the best song from the movie - just axe the absolute banger that is 'In the Dark of the Night' - because we are being SERIOUS and GROWN-UP now. We are A Big Historical Realism Musical Now. This is FOR REAL, okay!? We don't have a SILLY villain like Rasputin! We have Gleb! [Please Just Clap.] We are HISTORICALLY GROUNDED. -- Anyway, here's a musical unironically glorifying the Russian monarchy~~ 💖😌💖😌💖😌💖"

"why do I feel so weird and awful" says man who already made a post half an hour ago that included the reasons he feels weird and awful

I'm going to my friends' wedding in a couple of days, it's gonna be a smallish one in the town I'm from, just behind the house I grew up in by the old harbour and I'm so excited!! They have picked the date of an Ostrobothnian holiday (the best one), which traditionally marks the end of the summer house season and is celebrated with big bonfires and fireworks. I'm fucking stoked, I grew up right in that area and my lovely friends will be there and the bride and groom are fantastic people that I love dearly! I met the groom through my brother a handful of years ago and we quickly became good friends, he's a marine biologist and has a huge heart and strong conscience. The bride I've known forever, we were neighbours and friends as kids but we didn't talk for years and years until I started hanging out with her soon-to-be husband. She's super funny and congenial, always down to listen to your complaining and sharing in shit-talking. They are sincerely so sweet together, in a way that's not beyond lovingly making fun of each other. They usually host boardgame nights among our circle of friends and their house always feels so welcoming and warm. Just hanging out with them feels like home.

I've only been to one other wedding as an adult so far, and I'm really looking forward to this one as well!

Why is that YA can get away with so much in comparison to Adult fiction?? Like, aside from "no graphic sex" (tho there's been some pretty spicy scenes in some I read during my youth), the only hard line that cannot be crossed is "protag can't be older than 18" (tho New Adult pushes that to 20/22, I believe). You can have the most fucked of body horror, the most gruesome deaths, and gratuitous amount of gore and it's all good for an age-range of 13 to 18. Some of these "extreme Adult horror" books wish they can be on this level.

ooooh apparently the pjo show is out? or is it just the first episode? i'm not sure but. hm!!

I would argue that humans have been chronically dehydrated since ... well... For a very very very long time.

Access to entirely safe, clean, untainted water is a luxury. It's a luxury not everyone can afford IN THE PRESENT DAY no less. And it used to be so much worse.

Humans possibly invented* alcohol (*fermentation naturally occurs in nature but you get what I mean) not initially for the drug aspect but because the fermentation process makes it safer to drink. There was actually studies that show increased alcohol availability around industrial revolution times lead to lower cases of deaths from waterborne illnesses. (Not to be confused with John Snow(lol) discovering that cholera cases were less common in brewery workers, because as far as I could tell THAT specific instance was more the result of them having access to different well water sources that weren't the main sources tainted by waste, which was the leading cause of cholera in large urban areas) Tainted water supply has been the cause of horrifying deadly diseases for the entirety of our species history. And the act of living in larger cities had made that worse with the water supply being much more easily contaminated with waste runoff. It's only from modern infrastructure and waste treatment that cities have become safer.

My point being is that humans have probably since recorded history ALWAYS been at least somewhat chronically dehydrated because the alternative would result in a direct increase of the risks from those two factors (water sources that were unsafe in the first place/lack of available water sources entirely, and a side effect of large communal living further contaminating what "safe" water sources we did have access to) So this resulted in our having completely normalized the side effects of chronic dehydration for generations upon generations. And it's only now in our digital age of increasingly advanced understanding of molecular biology, health, and medicine that we're discovering just how bad the situation has always been. Not everyone lived within access of crystal clear glacier runoff. Many of us relied a lot more on getting our daily intake of liquids from the food we ate instead. And it's only now that we're able to see just how drastic that difference can be. Anyways all of this is to say that access to reliable clean water should be a human right and it's something we should fight tooth and nail for especially now that we're learning just how drastic of an impact it can have. Especially in the long run. (I literally JUST learned that thing about "knots in the muscles" from this post)

The variation of water quality and subsequent safety is something I've always been aware of because I'm agonizingly sensitive to drinking water. The high sediment content (enough to stain porcelain sinks deep ruddy orange over time) in small town southern Saskatchewan water is something my hypersensitivity drastically prefers over the (still pretty hard??) heavily treated stuff of northern British Columbian cities. To the point that I cannot bring myself to physically drink tap water. At all. The taste, smell, and texture is entirely different. My houseplants coincidentally also seemingly do worse if I do not boil their water or outright just buy them distilled water. It's not just me and my silly little plants though. The mineral content in tap water can build up and damage sensitive machinery such as medical equipment which is why distilled water is used in those things instead. Pretty much everything added to tap water has some beneficial quality for us humans drinking it but that doesn't change the fact that it's being added and I'd argue the type of water/treatment you grew up with permanently influences your taste in water going forward. My grandparents, also in southern Saskatchewan but on a farmstead and without access to water mains (had a cistern/well/idk), were my primary caretakers for the first few years of my life and I drank probably more in the means of juice than what is ideal for a young child. And thanks to my autistic hypersensitive ass this would be a habit that became impossible to break when I moved to BC and suddenly the tap water tasted like "acid soap" rather than the rich flavour of the previously closest town's running water (that which was excessively rich in sediments) or my go-to always reliable consistent taste and textured apple juice (sugar addiction in humans what with us being descended from frugivore apes is its own subject entirely that I won't touch on here but yeah needless to say sugar cravings are generally something our brains tend to prioritize over drinking just plain water unfortunately)

The water fountains at parks and in my elementary school were fine and I drank from them freely. But the residential tap water... god... It might as well have been pool water there was too much chlorine.

Where I'm going with this is, stay hydrated. Hydrate yourself as much as you can. Because it's important. Humans benefit from a lot more water than the average person probably thinks we do, clearly. It can cause according to OP, chronic muscle injury. But don't feel guilty about hating tap water. You're not crazy, there ARE chemicals in there. Not harmful chemicals mind you, please don't fall for "raw water" scams, that's how you get all manner of diseases, just get distilled water then, but don't feel bad about being able to notice and dislike your local tap water and having to drink bottled water or mixing something into your water like a juice or a tea. We're all probably adapted to be a bit more sensitive than we should be to differences in water BECAUSE of our history with the high risk of contamination, which is something people out there in many places are still facing today.

Also shit like golf courses and the mass production of things like almond milk are an abuse of our precious water supply and we should prioritize that water going to people and our environment first and foremost. Don't feel guilty about "wasting" water as an individual. You're not. It's blame being shifted. Use your water. That's what it's there for. Have baths and water your plants and just play in it sometimes.

Stay hydrated my friends. By any means necessary. It's a privilege your ancestors would be beyond proud and relieved you now have. Our water being as reliably safe and clean as it is represents generations of scientific research, advancement, and innovation. Untold numbers of humans working together to bring you, the people of today, something they could only have dreamed of. And remember the importance of water in your social activism. Because it's something we need to protect as well.

Hi, your Reservation Dogs posting made me curious how familiar are you with Taika Waititi? He's one of the show's co-writers and producers. The tags on your last post kinda reminded me of two of his movies - Boy and Hunt For The Wilderpeople. I haven't actually seen Res Dogs so I can't confirm if the vibes are a match, but I just love those movies and wanted to recommend them to you :)

Hi<3 yassss I love Waititi's work ❤️ So much so that for my french oral, during a 'talk about a specific topic for a while' piece, I did mine on his filmography jfjgfkhglhcoh. Boy is a film that has been on my list for a long ass time and I know I'd love it but I just haven't gotten around to it yet 😔 Hunt for the Wilderpeople bangs fr tho like I can still remember how [REDACTED]'s death just blew me away. I haven't seen it in years mind you but the balance between gut wrenching tragedy and humour really stuck with me. Also yes! Rez dogs and HFTW are very much the same vibe<333

While this is technically possible, I believe the maybe Deep Lore must be shared. Under the read more because Rob Liefeld's art is a content warning. (Also with the caveat the below is just me rambling about stuff I've seen wandering the Internet, wiser comics folks likely know this stuff far better than I)

(Also the further caveat, Kun seemingly has him with chest hair in the comic, at least judging by the cover art)

This is a page from "Youngblood #1" (April 1992) (Image Comics)

Creator, Plot, Pencils & Inks – Rob Liefeld Dialogue – Hank Kanalz Color Design – Brian Murray Color Separations – Digital Chameleon Editor-in-Chief – Chris Ulm

This is Chapel and an apparently unnamed woman.

I have no idea if this is the exact panel being referenced (particularly given I have avoided Liefeld's art in the wild wherever possible, even though that's admittedly somewhat difficult given how much he's drawn over the years). I only know about this page because of The 40 Worst Rob Liefeld Drawings. (The link not the comic is recommended read, it's very funny, as is the sequel). Notably, Dolph and Alex's pose is nearly identical to that first panel, and Chapel is also apparently hairless.

Captain Laserhawk: Blood Dragon Remix is based on the Far Cry 3 DLC, Blood Dragon, which is an homage to 1980s action films, cartoons, and video games. The protagonist's (Dolph Laserhawk) design is very clearly heavily reliant on the design for the DLC's protagonist, Sergeant Rex "Power" Colt. Rex looks a lot like a cross between Marvel's Winter Soldier (2005) and Cable, another Marvel Comics character who first appeared as a baby in 1986 (Chris Claremont (writer) and Rick Leonardi (pencils)) but later appeared for the first time in his more well-known adult appearance under Louise Simonson (writer) and Rob Liefeld (art) in 1990.

(Though Cable does... seem to have hair on his body, so... RIP Alex I guess).

Alex Taylor also looks a bit like a cross between Sabretooth (another Marvel character) and Shatterstar, a character created by Fabian Nicieza (writer) and Rob Liefeld (art) in 1991.

(This is mostly how Liefeld used to draw him. He looks a lot better under the hand of other artists these days, even just artists drawing for the same issues).

I don't think all roads lead to Liefeld. The guy mimicked a lot of stuff that was popular back then as far as I can tell. But even Kun's cover reminds me of a lot of covers Liefeld would draw (but actually good, because Kun's a good artist, and Liefeld is not).

Hallmarks of Liefeld's covers: lots of weapons everywhere, particularly guns, lots of buff dudes standing close together, giant crotches, and some wild hairstyles. (I like to think a theory for the Laserhawk animated series is "what if the homo-eroticism of all this wasn't subtext").

Statistically speaking, it's probable that first screencap references a lot of things, likely the same stuff Liefeld was inspired by, and maybe only unintentionally appears to look like that panel. But that terrible panel of Chapel was one of the first things in my mind when I saw it, because of how clearly this series is heavily referencing art from that era.

Okay... you got me. They're cute.
