No Rest for the Self-Destructive

I wish I could articulate all the ways this makes sense and why it makes sense and stuff but it’s just like… something something misogyny something something resentment of creatures that don’t need you and don’t hang on your attention and approval all their lives.

My dad gave me this exact same advice when I was a kid. “Anyone who hates cats is a control freak and an asshole.”

Why didn’t they kiss at least once?

You’re asking the right questions. 

Because Evie, Ardeth, and Rick would be THE bisexual poly thruple and the power of their sheer combined hotness would have left Imhotep powerless and hence no movie.

welp. i was THISCLOSE to posting an adolescent “i hate everything” post… and then i saw this.

Literally just let this play 8 times in a row and my smile never faltered even once 😁

This healed me….

[ image id: a four panel comic of caduceus, the wildmother, and the mighty nein drawn in reference to the movie ‘lilo and stitch.’ in the first panel, caduceus sits in a dilapadated house praying, “I need someone to be my friend.” the wildmother peers around a broken wall to watch caduceus as he continues, “maybe send me an angel” the wildmother presses her back to the wall, a wistful and concerned expression on her face. caduceus ends the prayer with, “the nicest angel you have.” the fourth panel shows caleb, nott, and beau clambering over the fence looking half-feral and very determined. the caption reads, “[m9 climbing the fence.]” /end id ]

Monster fucker this, monster fucker that. What if I want a monster RELATIONSHIP huh?! Monster HAND HOLDING, monster INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS, monster COMFORTABLE SILENCE??

A movie full of historical inaccuracies. But it’s filmed about our modern-day times as if it’s from the future. The fashion is all over the place from the 60s to our modern-day style. There’s a little newspaper boy waving an iPad shouting: “Hot Take! Fresh Hot Takes!”, self-flying cars that look like they’re from the 80s. Everyone is typing messages on giant 90s phones. The moon-landing is constantly mentioned as if it’s a big deal in everyone’s every-day life because The Future Film-makers don’t understand that 50 years were a long time in the past too, meanwhile someone is like: “But we will never reach Mars” while talking directly into the camera.  A woman is president of the United States.

i feel like now is the time to start passing around that post again about how ao3 does netflix levels of data serving and stores library-of-congress amounts of information on an absolutely insane shoestring budget and when people get pissed off about the otw raising more money than they need that they "couldn't use" it just shows they don't know shit about how unbelievably expensive it is to run something like the archive (+ all the legal advocacy/open doors projects/etc)...
