MOVED | we're all stories in the end

hello! if you’re still here i’m very impressed, considering it’s been…. what, two years since i was active here?

i am not dead, i just migrated to twt (@ zamothac). i mostly talk about bts now, because it’s 2018 and there is no escape, and also they’re the goodest boys to ever walk the face of this earth. (there’s also occasional mcelroy content! Good Boy Zone Only)

since everyone seems to be migrating off tumblr anyway in light of the nsfw ban, come hang out with me on twt if you’re going there? i remember there were some really lovely people here and i miss yall - please come hit me up!! especially if we were mutuals or ever talked.

alternatively, if you’re staying on tumblr, my new address is @wlwminyoonji. despite the name it’s only about 20% bts content, so maybe give it a look? it’s not very active but it’s a nice place to be, i think.

disclaimer: if i know you primarily irl and you interact with me on any of these platforms, i will block you immediately. i like my online life and my irl life to be separate, thanks!

All the people complaining about how Max “isn’t the main character” in Fury Road are big ol’ Fake Fanboys cause Max’s primary character trait in literally every movie is “I hate this, why is it happening, please leave me alone to brood in the desert in peace”. 

He’s much more the central focus of the plot in the first movie but in Road Warrior and Thunder Dome he basically just gets kidnapped or beat up by wankers in weird bondage outfits and spends the rest of the movie trying to leave as soon as possible while other people are like “please solve our absurd post-apocalyptic problems”.  There is not one single point where Max actively seeks out being a hero until it is forced upon him.  He ACTIVELY TELLS PEOPLE WHO ASK HIM FOR HELP to take a hike.

Mad Max himself would like nothing better than to never, ever, ever be the main character.

He understands better than his own fanboys that his life sucks and you don’t want to be like him, to be Max is humiliating and painful. Every time he gets dragged into a conflict, he ends up worse than he started. Max seems to realize no good can come of this, and is weirdly genre-savvy because he’s always trying to make a getaway at the first signs of encroaching Plot. I find this darkly comical and endearing – at no point does he snap off witty quips and save the day and get the girl. Ever. He’s perpetually a weird desert loser with terrible luck. It’s great.

Which is to say an aggressively masculine, quip-spitting, hyper violent womanizer.  The ultimate Male Power Fantasy. A new supermodel love interest (or two) every film, a gun in his hand, and no consequences for his actions. Consider:  Captain Kirk: Painted as a headstrong idiot who spends all his time banging green skinned alien queens. In reality, a pretty firmly Feminist character. 

Han Solo: Pictured as a suave too-cool-for-school scoundrel. Actually kind of a mess with a ship that’s falling apart. He constantly has people after him, not because he’s some sort of superscoundrel that makes powerful enemies, but because he makes deals with dangerous people, and then fails to live up to his end of the bargain. From what I recall, it’s not even that he double-crosses them or anything, he just screws up. 

Mad Max: To quote that one hilariously stupid review that helped make the movie so popular, “In the post-apocalyptic future, it’s going to be MEN LIKE MAX THAT ARE IN CHARGE!” Max just wants to drive his car around the desert and be sad. He doesn’t want any of this. 

OOOH MR LESTER~~

nEnglish speakers got the amazing Shelby Rabara singing Peace and love, but for the french La Paix, L’Amour got… this…

What’s doubly astounding is that Peridot is voiced by Anouck Hautbois, the same lady who voices Marinette in Miraculous ladybug, but that voice she uses for peridot is just… wow

i know it gets dark early now and the tired is setting in and everything sort of feels blank and hazy and you want to spend ages staring at walls thinking of nothing

Don’t worry about a lack of representation for dudes in the new Ghostbusters movie guys! You have Chris Hemsworth’s character! He’s a man!
