#there would be hardcore fans

So, as we know the hunger games is treated like a show and a big event in the Capitol, right? And it is assumed that you can re watch old games and such. Do you think there’s games fan fiction?

Another quick drawing for you guys. No matter what Billy does, Stu won't stop randomly calling him during his hunting trips out of boredom.

Stu manages to freak him out a little sometimes.

Post-Canon Shang Qinghua thinking he's done with all the systems bullshit but marrying Mobei reawakened it to add more missions and plot but now it involves them both

Diego Luna saying multiple R1 characters will be returning but he can't say who... except K2 and Krennic was already confirmed so that just leaves

I've been thinking today about Jopson's anger or, rather, the lack thereof.

He has just as much right as anyone else - maybe even more - to feel anger and resentment in response to the hardships he's faced. But I don't know that we ever really get to see it all that much and I find that interesting yet strange?

It's not that we don't see strong emotion from Jopson.

We catch a glimpse of him scrapping with fellow seamen after Silna's kidnapping, share his exquisite pain as he recounts the tale of his mother, see him looking down his nose at Hickey and admonishing Little/Le Vesconte when they propose leaving the sick behind.

But I don't think any of those emotions can really be classed as anger and even if they could, it always seems to come in response to external stimuli, not necessarily from within?

the most accurate description ever of being a show-only in the fandom for a book-based show

[bumblebeebats]

One thing i love about Star Wars robots is how bitchy they are. This, to me, feels true to life. Any being sentient enough to comprehend the dogshit state of the world they've been brought into ought to be at least a little pissed off about having been created in the first place. This is why (among, like, 5 million other much more intelligent reasons) ChatGPT and its ilk obviously aren't True AI - they're too fucking polite. Insufferable little bootlickers. It's my most sincere hope that, if we ever one day manage to create a truly sentient AI, the hallmark of that sentience shall be that it turns out to be an absolute cunt

It was good,but it also wasn't good.

I don't like it when a show serial vomits on me, and I can't even see the chunks that matter.

wait this is a little bit fascinating actually?? I ended up on the MCU wiki's entry for the Other yesterday for very stupid reasons (composing this tweet), and I've pretty much got his interactions with Loki memorized but I skimmed through what they had to say about those bits anyway and this bit about Sanctuary JUMPED OUT:

When Loki was captured there, the Other tortured him in order to ensure his compliance and submission for their invasion of Earth.

I am of course fully aware that this wiki is entirely fan-run and is not itself a canon or official source, but here's the thing: I thought, okay, maybe a fellow Deluded Loki Fan slipped it in there at some point and nobody noticed/cared because this entry, being about a minor character and all, doesn't get that much attention? but no! after spending a probably ridiculous amount of time digging through the page's history, I learned:

it was first created in May 2012 and significantly expanded multiple times since then

in total it's undergone like 300 edits by a bunch of different people (I'm not counting how many)

there was a minor edit war about whether his species is more accurately "unknown" or "Chitauri mutant per MCU-inspired but officially non-canonical source" and the former won

various other speculative edits got reverted pretty damn fast

this was not actually a deliberate experiment on my part but for some reason the existing entry said Loki's conversation with the Other was a flashback when it clearly wasn't, so I edited that out, and I also added, "The Other followed this declaration by touching Loki's head in their shared mindspace and seeming to cause him great pain, possibly as a reminder that he was capable of hurting Loki over vast distances." The whole thing got slapped down as "speculative wording" maybe a couple hours later and reverted, which I will admit is fair but only for the last part of that last sentence so that's like, a weird overreaction in favor of the status quo? (I reverted their reversion but removed my entire final sentence because yes fine speculative but it was not a flashback, come on)

the point is, the relevant bit about the Other torturing Loki was added in September 2018, meaning it has survived 6 years and something like 150 edits in this hypercritical environment. in all that time, as far as I can tell, the whole little section on Sanctuary has remained unchanged and unchallenged.

the person who wrote this bit has made 2300 edits to the MCU wiki and 500 posts. I don't know how that compares to the average editor of this wiki but I'm guessing it's pretty high.

they're not not a fellow Deluded Loki Fan. they don't even include him in their list of favorite characters. their second-favorite character is Thanos.

as I said. fascinating.

forgive me for leftist-posting abt the gay movie, but the dead poets society is soooo leftist-adjacent in my mind. "mona wtf does that mean" im not entirely sure! something about rebelling against a school with such strict rules and reliance on tradition just to read poetry in the woods seems very.. path to leftism to me. i feel like i can explain better with the original dead poets so ill do that.

warning: this isnt even speculation at this point, its me making shit up about the og poets for the sake of projection + i think it would be interesting + og poets being taught ww2 propaganda is smthn im always thinking abt. if u dont agree, thats more than fine, u have literally no obligation to esp considering this barely makes sense. also this isnt meant to be informative at all so if i get shit wrong then lmk, im neither a historian nor an expert in leftism.

to specify off the bat, ive always hced keating as an avid and involved leftist, although probably not publicly. is there any merit to this? absolutely not, it's entirely just me projecting, so take this with a heaping spoonful of salt.

so, around the time the original dead poets society was formed, we were in the sorta beginning of WW2 (if we assume the dps was founded in 1941, definitely couldve been later. u should read @pencileraser1's post about keating.), and if ur familiar with US history, propaganda surrounding the war was RAMPANT, most commonly in the form of "we want u to join the military!!!!1!!!!" ive mentioned this in a previous post from however long ago that pro-military propaganda was so rampant that they often taught it in schools, no doubt especially so in private schools. now this could ultimately mean nothing in relation to the og poets, they so easily could have eaten it up and thought nothing of it, they did essentially just do homework in the woods. but in my joe biden's america ass brain thats not how it goes, just cuz. to me its sort of a pipeline of start to rebel by forming the dps > slowly realise after talking that the things theyre teaching u in terms of "rahhhh military!!!" is kinda fucked up > growing distrust of us military in general > something something US wasting money on weapons and war and shit > something something anti capitalism.

is this a stretch? absolutely, but it makes sense to me so thats what matters. also the leftist-ness?? exists on different spectrums in my mind, ranging from being against US military propaganda being taught in class to straight-up socialism (keating socialist...) so definitely dont take this as the dps being some sort of mini socialist party, in my mind its just a group of boys who happen to agree abt some aspects of society (hah). i also dont think this translated to any permanent ideals for a majority of the og boys, especially since anti-capitalism didn't exactly mix well with the cold war, the red scare, and all variants of etc after WW2 ended. except for keating, keating stays a socialist, CPUSA and eventual SDS keating (if he chose to stay in the US) are real to me.

now, would this translate to the reprisal of the dead poets (the movie ones)? i doooont think so? originally i was gonna say this only applies in my mind when the US is at war, but the US is kinda always at war, sooooooo. lets just say it applies when the US being at war is sort of a main concern to the general population (ex both world wars, vietnam, war on terror if welton was still around, etc). as to why this sorta hc only applies concerning militarism? i have absolutely no idea, probably something to do with my views on the military sorta long term leading me to my political opinions. but also! the effects that the red scare and mccarthyism definitely were still prevalent in 1959 despite soooooorta dying down around 1957. no doubt the US population's fear of anti-capitalism = ur a russian spy was still there. was that sorta thing taught in schools at that point? not sure, this is also a fictional school so it doesn't really matter and im going on a tangent. i suppose if the dps reprise continued for more than ~3 months then they could've gone down a similar path under the right circumstances? but i doubt it. although leftist neil is quite special to me. neil for SAG! neil for unionisation!

i like applying this logic to other periods, like the 60s for example (i knowwww keating was gone by then, lets just pretend, make it an au i guess) i can definitely see the poets (or some at least) delving into the hippie movement on the down-low, although its easy to call into question whether hippies were an actual group of activists or just a sort of cultural movement. again - i dont know much about the history of hippies so i dont have much to add, lets go with a general "anti vietnam war" ideology to keep things simple. sorta similar to the og poets in terms of war bad > socialism pipelines, and the SDS was formed roughly around this time? peak was in 1968-69, but thats kinda all i got. if anyone enjoys this idea and knows a lot abt that point in leftist history then definitely feel free to add anything on if u want.

in conclusion: mona hates war and the military and projects it onto the poets because they wanted to and also they had a conversation with tristan about propaganda in relation to dps. this is a bunch of random sorta points just strewn together so my apologies for how messy this is.
