[WIP] Did y'all think I was done with this series?

regina spektor is a violent zionist, but i don't think it's constructive or honest at all for people to be like "well her art was always bad anyway." some terrible people have made great art. This idea that artists with unsavory morals can't make good art (1) only feeds into some people's mindset that if they dislike something, that MUST mean there is something ideologically wrong with it, and (2) some people then take longer to realize the true colors of their favorite artists because... good artists can't be ethically bad right?? and so they hang on to their faves and pretend they are so righteous and defend their every move when sometimes. sometimes you just gotta accept that your favorite art was made by somebody you don't agree with, and you have to identify how much you are willing to support someone like that and what lines you have that can't be crossed

I'm still not well so this isn't going to be articulate, but I wanted to say something anyway.

In the wake of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (amongst other titles) being purged from streaming I've seen countless posts saying "This is terrible, we need to stop this practice -- they might purge a good show next!" and yeah, for sure a lot of titles being impacted by streaming purges/lack of physical media/a decline in archiving right now aren't going to be remembered for changing the world.

However, I think it is vital that we fight to preserve these titles for their own sake not just because "What if next time it's something we actually like?!" There is value is preserving things widely regarded as "bad" not just because I have firm beliefs about the absurdity of taste, but because who gives a shit if something is deemed "good?" Actual human people put their time and energy into realising these artistic visions. Even if the results are arguably not "good" or "popular", should the efforts of these artists be lost to the sands of time? No, no they fucking shouldn't.

I share a lot of art on this blog from titles very few people consider culturally important or valuabe. However, I don't look at the things I collect & share like that. Even some of the most objectively absurd titles I own are still pieces of art that were developed, published, and consumed by humans in the real world. Whether they've turned out to be broadly memorable or not is irrelevant because they existed and that in itself makes them worthy of preservation so that others can choose to familiarise themselves with them long after the original creative team is gone.

So yes, we should all be trying to preserve the media that's important to us and not let corporations try to stamp out every trace of a financial (though not necessarily artistic) misstep. However, it shouldn't take the threat of something we, personally, like being taken away to stir us into giving a shit.

Even the demise of less admired works should concern us and make us start to burn copies of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies because it might not mean anything to you or I right now, but to some kid in 20 years it could be a seminal experience that leads them to follow their dreams. Or it could become a cult classic that people reflect on at watch parties years in the future. Or it could continue to be a footnote in the history of television that nobody really cares about.

Ultimately I don't think it matters what level of value we arbitrarily assign to media now or in the future, we should be trying to preserve as much of it as possible so that generations from now people can enjoy the option of engaging with these titles should they so wish.

thumbs up for kyle, mmmaybe?

Send 👍 for a random headcanon I have about our muses

Love is... an awful, nasty thing. A 'chemical imbalance' forced upon the hearts & minds of sentient beings in order to force them to procreate, continue their species, cast the flame of existence into the farthest ends of the cosmic naught, on, and on, and on.

Love, one of the fundamental lights by which life as a whole was spawned, was once, is now, and shall forever be, threaded into Kyle Rayner, just as it was, is, and forever will be threaded through Her... and yet, when She gazes unto him, She knows that he does not Love Her. And knowing that wounds her every waking moment.

Kyle is a dutiful man, one with a job that transcends the boundaries of a single connection. Without him, the universe falls into disarray faster than it constantly seems to. Without him, her playground falls apart. She should thank him for doing his job; for allowing her to suffer under the weight of her own bad decisions as she currently does, but she can't.

She can not find peace whenever he is around. Her heart aches for him, her mind races at the thought of him, she is overwhelmed with an urge to bite into his core and crawl her way to his heart from the wound whenever she sees him, BUT SHE CAN'T!

Because those feelings are not her own. That LOVE is not her own, and she believes that Kyle knows it. He can see the disparity between The Predator & The Parasite, he knows where the lines are drawn, and where the barriers are crumbling, and rather than assuage the decay, and return the universe to its proper balance, he abstains.

He exacerbates the crossover between host & entity, he holds himself just so outside of her reach, he drives her fucking MAD with his presence! All while refusing to succumb to her wishes. The belief is that if he can force her to fall apart - Force Predator to escalate until theres no choice but to leave her, then she'll be able to return to her life. This 'cosmic game' will spit her out, only a touch worse for wear, without Love tearing her apart, again.

He 'tortures' her out of kindness. Her 'pain' is motivated by a goodness within him, one that is clearly for the betterment of existence!

The problem, of course, is that love is not clear in any of its facets or forms... and has driven once rational, well-intentioned and genial people into the pathways of some of the worst this universe has to offer.

That said, very excited for the people who intend to play that new pokemon, when it comes out.

Lol remember when I used to occasionally stream me playing video games? That was fun

[yumenosakiacademy]

genuinely I wish tht more of the rats smp content was put in2 more 'easy 2 watch' videos instead of long stream vods so ppl could enjoy the chaos tht was tht smp without the imposing watch length of the streams bc most of them r Hours long. martyn did, bc he's both a youtuber n a streamer, but the other ccs who r Also youtubers didn't 4 the most part n tbh some didnt even upload their vods. n it's all a real shame bc I think more ppl wouldve/could get in2 it if it wasn't so long esp since theres a lot of meandering in the series sonetimes w exploration of the house n such. It was such a fun goofy smp w some real stellar charas n bits (garbage rat n marty my beloveds) n the creators had fun n more fans should see/should've seen it ngl. it coulda been a bit bigger than it turned out being, methinks.
