Where Ceia Lives

For all that the 1800s etiquette guides are--obviously--derangedly sexist from a modern perspective? They're also mindblowing in how casually they will assert things that MODERN DAY CONSERVATIVES would scream and cry and shit their pants about.

"People back then always married young it's natural!!!" Every single 1800s guide I've ever met casually mentions that, of course, you really shouldn't get married before you're at least 20, and waiting until 25 is usually better.

Or, like. Okay here's a long segment:

Just firmly going "it is crazy sexist to blame The Wife for overspending when thirty seconds of asking questions will immediately establish that her husband was outright lying to her about how much money they had. Talk to your wife like a normal person."

Or--okay, here. A section on being honest and not writing love letters in secret, because that's usually a good sign that there's something untoward going on....

....except that he then immediately acknowledges that sometimes, the reason you're hiding this from your parents is that your parents suck. That there are parents who frankly have not earned the right to approve or disapprove of your partner.

(I realize the phrasing there sounds a lot less strong than my summary, but--trust me on this. When you're familiar with the narrative voice of these kinds of books, this passage is downright radical. The mere acknowledgement that if you treat your kids badly, it's your own damn fault when they don't talk to you? I've genuinely never seen that before in this genre. Don't freak out over "properly trained", either. It's just a linguistic shift--at the time, "training" was used the way we would say "raising" a child today. )

"Delete all the nudes and sexts after a breakup or you're a piece of shit" has been the standard expectation since EIGHT. TEEN. EIGHTY. FIVE.

"Men and women being friends with each other is literally normal. Don't be a controlling freak."

Anyway I was wrong the publishing date is actually 1882 so like.

"If you have to abuse a child to keep order in your classroom then you're a bad teacher."

So like @ the modern Republican party, are the "traditional family values" in the fucking room with us right now--

"The horrors persist but so do libraries, books, iced coffee, sunsets, trees, the word 'fuck', the moon and the sea."

Nikki Giovanni, The Collected Poetry, 1968-1998

ambitious indie project this, surprise box-office hit that, iron lung (production budget: $3mil) is the 'someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this, my family is dying' tweet.

set construction: $800

cast & crew wages: $1,200 + uber eats

fake blood (assuming generous discount on bulk purchase): $2,000,000 i am so not kidding i did the math this is nuts

editing: average adult body-weight equivalent in monster energy drinks

update when markiplier announced he's producing the dvd/blu-ray himself i was like cool he's personally supervising the process and then he was like no i mean i'm making them myself at my house and i imagined some kind of complicated gargantuan contraption dutifully chugging along 24/7 blowing up this man's electricity bill and then he was like

anyway if you buy an iron lung dvd/blu-ray: it was made on a printer-sized machine. at markiplier's house.

since this post unexpectedly blew up i'd like to note that the $2mil. of fake blood thing is unconfirmed and based on some rough calculations i did after googling 'fake blood price per gallon'. i'm sure they were able to get a more significant discount on the kind of bulk purchase that cleared all stock available in the state of wherever this movie was filmed, but i have no source. the rest of those numbers are what we in the industry call a funnypost

the dvd/blu-ray production was confirmed on a livestream i caught accidentally while dicking around on youtube that is now members only (likely this one but idk, i don't have youtube membership money). other things confirmed in that stream: the dvd/blu-ray burner cost $4k and iirc burns 8 blu-rays an hour. markiplier's one concession to productivity is that he might get a second burner so he can make 16 blu-rays an hour, at his house.

Yeah, one of you weasels cropped the picture and it breached containment. This is in my dad’s barn–I made it for him years ago specifically in reference to the incredible number of projects that have started as “just a little thing” and have ended with a nuts-and-bolts restoration–and he’s now seeing it posted in his car groups on facebook, that’s how far out of hellsite circulation this has escaped. And now his car friends want me to make them flags too.

I really should have expected this.

For the record, this painting is also for my dad’s barn.

Actually, you know what, fuckit. It’s on redbubble now.

I’ve seen very long discussions about who Grace saw on the beach in his dream and apologies if it has already been solved, but isn’t that himself in the future? The person is dressed exactly like him in the last scene.

It even happens right before he makes first contact with Rocky, suggesting it’s some kind of premonition letting him know it will all be okay. Maybe something supernatural in this world of hard science or perhaps some space timey wimey stuff.
