Beware The Ides Of March

not naming names but some of you are so creative and talented it's an honor to have you in my phone

Ugghhhhh nicknames as form of affection my beloved. Or the opposite even. Calling a tentative lover by their given name for the first time as a sign of familiarity and barriers overcome ughhhhhhhh

At this point we can put them all in an octagon or smth cuz they lowkey more talented in beating eachother up than passing the damn ball

Unacceptable that I've been pushed to side with goddamn ENGLAND in this WC

notice how the filmmakers who say “i’m not under any obligation to be historically accurate, the truth makes a bad story and i wanted to make a good story” are never the ones with interesting and deliberate reimaginings of historical events. notice how their revisionism and the stories they tell with it are always lazy and boring as shit

i’m not saying anything i’m just saying i’ve never seen hero (2002) criticized for its historical inaccuracy

in seriousness you can learn about the isolated Appalachian communities that were up here until quite recently by checking out the foxfire books. it is true that there were many isolated communities that remained pretty separate from mainstream American life for a longish time but most of the last ones were my grandpa's generation. and they were regular? can't overstate how regular they were. just rural and isolated with their own culture. do check out the foxfire museum if you want to learn more about them and their lives! those books are based on real interviews conducted by local high schoolers and college students of the old folks in their communities and they are very interesting windows into day to day rural life up in the mountains in the early to mid 20th century.

I absolutely 100% do not mean this in a like derogatory city slickers way; I myself grew up mostly in a city and I think that it is morally neutral to not have experience with The Outdoors. having said that, I have noticed that a lot of people who do not have regular interactions with "landscape that can kill you" do seem to have an internalized idea that "landscape that can kill you" is something that only happens to other people, or not very often, or only under extreme circumstances. which I think often leads them to assume that there must be something else out here that can kill you. but I fear I must inform the people who wanna believe scary Appalachian woods monsters are real that it's Landscape. inclusive of the beasts that dwell there such as the cougars and bears. its Landscape! (GRASPING EVERYONE ON THE SPOOKY APPALACHIAN TRAIL SUBREDDITS) IT'S LANDSCAPE THAT KILLS YOU! ITS ALWAYS LANDSCAPE! Old Man Hidden Ravine and his best friend Exposure!
