Btw, Escape from Camazotz. Idk if anyone has looked into this, but this is the Camazotz

Camazotz is represented entirely as a bat, or as a bat with a human body, sometimes with elements that recall sacrifice, such as the "eyes of death" around the neck (or on the wings) and a sort of gush from the mouth that could represent the fire or blood.

In Mesoamerican religions, bats were associated with the Underworld (Hell), death and sacrifice, particularly through decapitation.

As a deity, the bat plays a vital role in presenting offerings to the major deities.

According to the Aztecs, Camazotz causes tears and tears heads.

According to the Maya, the "Cama-Zotz" is a type of bat monster with a snout as sharp as a blade, which in a flock attacks the Mayan Hero Twins during their ordeal in the underground world of Xibalba.

The two twins had to spend the night in the Bat House shooting their blowpipes to defend themselves from the bats, which circled so hard that they squeezed themselves into the blowpipes.

Some scholars associate the bat with the planet Venus and the "demon of the east"

Granted I never finished my little pony or even got to cozy glow at all but I see people complain about how she "didnt deserve her fate" bc she was "literally a child" and I feel like its missing how the target audience are also children. Like a 9 year old isnt gonna see cozy glow as "a small baby child who was never given room to redeem herself, she shouldn't have been turned to stone like the other villains" they're gonna see her as "just like that mean girl in school who always picks on me and never gets in trouble for it because the teachers like her, I'm GLAD she got turned to stone! FUCK tiffany!"

Oh hey, how's it going?

Let's assume "pretty good" includes all of the relevant asterisks.

I've mostly been keeping my own counsel and I think that's mostly been a good thing for me.

Apparently I'm bringing Winter with me to Kansas tomorrow. (I'm going to Kansas tomorrow.) I bought a scarf and a beanie at Target tonight. I'm not sure if I'm scarfing right, but it's warm? I guess I'll find out soon enough.

On the bright side, waking up to find out that like 9TB of stuff is just gone is keeping my digital hoarding tendencies in check. Here's your periodic reminder to check your backups!

Here's All Girls Go to Heaven from last night's Zolita concert:

Getting trapped in the Upside Down with some beasties while injured is surely a good time, right?

wait, if bonney's condition kills so quickly...

but her mom didn't have symptoms until she was a slave...

and it seems based off porphyria (association with blue, injury in sunlight, called the "vampire disease"), which is most famous for being king george iii's disease in real life...

that means the noble had it and gave it to ginny...

but it's not contagious to people around bonney...

oh god bonney was born with an std

Chaos theory thoughts under the thread

So many thoughts for later - first off, in love with it. I have fallen in love with Camp Cretaceous back when I put on season 1 back in 2020 as a pandemic watch and then kept watching until 2, had a watch party with 3, etc. Chaos Theory was SO solid. It delivered on so many fronts. The Brooklyn flashbacks were so damn good. This show handles certain themes of trauma so well. I know it may have just been a matter of pacing but I'm choosing to interpret that Sammy has the shortest Brooklyn memory compared to the others bc she's not thinking about it - she's focused on tasks so she never has to stop to feel everything weighing her down. Hope we find out about Sammy and her family in the second season. Honestly most of them and their dynamics following the island. There was a lot to take on though in 10 episodes. The Handler. Loved how they definitely amped up the nightmares on this season but she was the first human they've ever brought on that was as scary as the dinos. Also Kenji my sweet boy. Calls his mother EVERY WEEK because that's what you DO. She's his MOM. Brooklyn....like I know it's not the same but also she's really pulling a nearly-Furiosa look at the end and you know what, I'm here for it. I liked Brooklyn fine in Camp Cretaceous, (controversial opinion but she was always sort of meh to me) but I liked her more in Chaos Theory. Something something haunting the narrative!! Something something influencer-turned wannabe investigative journalist who tuned everyone out and it may be to her own detriment. I can not WAIT for the fall out when they find out she's alive.

Eventually I will make my recap rewatch of the last seasons of Camp Cretaceous and my reactions to Chaos Theory bc I'm going to have to rewatch this again.

what's really unfortunate about liam payne dying is that many people already felt bad for the guy, in many respects. most of his loudest critics or "haters" if you so choose to call them, were former fans, or at least people who respected one direction's legacy and felt sympathy for the treatment they all endured as teenage boys and young men. there's so much about liam payne's life that was just completely unenviable. regardless of the very flawed (to put it gently) person he turned out to be in recent years, he was incredibly exploited from a young age, and anyone could understand how it led him to struggling with the issues he had. and rather than nobly suffering and healing, his actions led him to such a place that he lost much of the love and adoration he once had when he was too young to know what to do with his life. like, for all the money and connections he had, i don't know anyone who would've traded lives with him. he just seemed so incredibly lost and unhappy. and now his life is just suddenly and senselessly over. there's no closure; this is not what anyone would've wanted for him. he was sad but he was not hopeless. but now he is. he'll never get better or make amends with anyone because he's dead.

dude now I'm just sitting here staring at a wall thinking abt how fucked up being lgbt is...

Don't get me wrong I'm happier knowing who I am and I shudder to think what would be of me if I had never found out, there's so many queer people out there that will welcome you with open arms and guide you through or just simply offer you a shoulder to cry on and that's wonderful I love that and we need more of that

But then there's the rest of the people, the assholes that want you dead just for existing, the ones that are less vocally hateful and might tolerate being in a room with you but should you need anything they'd rather let you starve than approach, the "I support you but" people that say are open minded and supportive but the moment you cross some invisible line of theirs you are no longer "one of the good ones" and must be dealt with.

We've all seen these people, they might be strangers, coworkers, acquaintances, friends, family and even our partners and their words and actions hurt like knives. But a lot of us have learned that we shouldn't waste our time with them if we can avoid it, turn around, block them, leave the room, move out of the house if you can, we can do these things

But what happens when the hatred is coming from inside the community itself? I cannot begin to tell you how soul breaking it is for me when I see discourse like "LGBT without the T!" or "Asexuality doesn't belong in the LGBT" or "If you're bi but in a straight relationship then you're a liar/traitor" or "If you don't pass as your gender then you're not truly trans" and these are just some off the top of my head, there are so many more and even if they don't personally affect me it still hurts me to see it so much.

You're not making the community nicer or safer by dictating how someone should exist, there are no "traitors" there are no "liars" there are no "pretenders" everyone is just trying to live their life while staying true to themselves but everyone around them is constantly telling them they are wrong for it, not gonna lie to you I'm sometimes afraid that I'll get someone telling me I'm not truly nonbinary because I'm not androgynous or use they/them and I'm easily perceived as a woman, I get afraid I'll be told that what I'm doing is just a phase by other queer people despite the fact that I've been trans since I was 14 and it took me all those years to be able to come to terms with the fact that yes I love dresses, yes I like makeup, yes I'm fine with she/her pronouns, yes I sometimes find it endearing to be called a girl, but no I am not a woman and I'll never be.

But guess what? being afab carries this weird notion that I am somehow harmless or at least less of an issue than lets see uhh oh yeah amab trans people! trans women get labeled predators, groomers and a danger to everyone around them so often and the punishment for not passing as their desired gender is far greater than anything I've ever personally received. People have let these notions about birth genders and sexualities carry on to their trans views in macabre and harmful ways. You want to be wary of men? sure, there's an extensive history of issues that make your fears rational and justified... but why are you pointing your finger at a trans woman? Because she has stubble or a beard? no long hair? doesn't like dresses? doesn't want hrt or surgeries of any kind? has a deep voice? because she has "male interests"? do you not realize how harmful that is?

That's not to say trans men don't get a similar treatment, but I don't see them being labeled as dangerous and violent even half as much as trans women do, it's this notion that being born with a penis somehow makes you vile or something???? unless you prove to us how innocent and righteous you are by looking exactly how I want you to, staying 5 meters away from me and never displaying any sort of sexual attraction towards anyone ever otherwise I am calling the police on you

That's bogus nonsense and I'm absolutely tired of it, stop carrying societies old and nasty views of gender and sexuality into this community that is about supporting and uplifting people no matter how they want to be, and while we're at it someone's presentation and physical appearance isn't indicative of their morality

I wish every trans woman on tumblr right now that feels afraid to speak up about the current situation or even just their life experiences as a trans person a very very happy rest of their lives, and I wish every trans woman who IS speaking up about stuff a very happy rest of their lives as well

Again just so we're clear, I'm nonbinary and afab she/he he/she whatever order so I should in theory not be the target to any uhh "mysterious" blog bans and stuff, however if my blog dies after this post know that I did not do it myself.

Stand up for trans women always and forever, we are all fighting together and there is no glory in hurting each other
