Me watching anything Ari Aster has made
Ok so yesterday I finally watched Hereditary and first of all, amazing movie, genuinely horrified me at times, it all comes together perfectly. But I just can't stop thinking how like. How the cult's plan to kill charlie operated so heavily on dumb luck.
Like do you think they were coming up with ways to get rid of her and some dude was like "ok so what if we invite Peter to this party where the way over goes through this specific road on the off chance that his asshole mom makes him bring Charlie along then we separate them and make her eat JUST the right amount of peanuts to get him desperate enough to drive to a hospital like a maniac but NOT kill her immediatly BUT it's JUST ENOUGH to time her needing to take in more air at THIS specific patch of the road where we will PLACE A TRADEMARKED WOODEN POST so she can stick her head out, and we can make Peter swerve to the right- yes right he won't brake or go left- so Charlie gets french revolutioned" and they just couldnt come up with some other way to make it look like an accident so they just went with it. What if Charlie asked if there were peanuts. What if she just didn't come. What if Peter just decided to floor it and say fuck it to whatever was obstructing him in the road because his little sister was more important. These were some PASSIONATE gamblers and I gotta respect the hustle a bit
I'm not saying Hereditary was intentionally made as an allegory for the trans experience (it definitely wasnt) but the parts I find the scariest are the ones where you can feel the powerlessness, fear, and pain of being blamed by a parent for the nonexistence of their other child and the terror at seeing this drive said parent crazy, thinking up conspiracy theories about demons and acting against your best interest to resurrect your dead sibling.
Like even from a narrative perspective, Peter was basically not a character for the first half of the film, mostly existing in the background at home and being kind of a stereotype of a teen boy at school, while we actually see interactions between charlie, steve, and annie. the two siblings (i would argue the two identities, one of the awkward daughter seen at home and the happier and more socially adjusted boy at school) then are forced to interact together at a social gathering until, orchestrated by some demonic cult, the teen boy kills the little girl, which at least reads to me like a conservative transphobic parent's idea of their child coming out. Like both of them are literally possessed by a demon who is at least coded in mythology as a transgender man (demon with a feminine face but who is a man and feels discomfort when inhabiting the bodies of women). then, rather than support the surviving child, this mother rejects her son who suddenly is involved in the narrative and becomes a full 3D person in the story in favor of blaming him for the death of her daughter and then goes to extreme lengths to resurrect her daughter, despite it being painful and dangerous for her still alive son. at least to me this reads as the common idea that transphobes have of their children who are transgender having "killed" their child. anyways I thought it was cool. Ari Aster you sick little freak
"im a misandrist but not in a terfy way"
theres no feminist way to be a misandrist that doesnt bleed into terf ideology.
if youre a misandrist, then i dont trust you not to be racist towards men of color.
if youre a misandrist, then i dont trust you not to be ableist towards disabled and/or neurodivergent men.
if youre a misandrist, then i dont trust you not to be intersexist towards intersex men or intersex people that look like men.
if youre a misandrist, then i dont trust you not to be transphobic towards trans women who don't want to pass or cant pass for whatever reason.
if youre a misandrist, then i dont trust you not to be transphobic towards trans men.
if youre a misandrist, then i dont trust you not to be exorsexist towards nonbinary men or nonbinary people who might look like men.
if youre a misandrist, i dont fucking trust you. you are not an ally to me or to marginalized people.

shoutout to fat nonbinary people
everyone say thank you to fat nonbinary people
Just saw a production of Jesus Christ Superstar. They fucking DoorDashed the last supper.
stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it
oh my god i'm so tired psychotic does not mean violent it does not mean angry or erratic. it refers to a person suffering from psychosis, a loss of touch with reality that includes hallucinations and/or delusions. psychotic people are not inherently violent and y'all need to understand how much stigma you create when you again and again incorrectly use the word psychotic without even thinking about it
would appreciate if non-psychotic people could reblog this
I wish I could say "I don't go there but sounds awful".
Unfortunately I know just enough about Good Omens to understand how and why that's awful.
My condolences.
Omg hi beloved mutual!
Tysm for your condolences 😔
Tbh I'm so busy with my thesis and exam prep that I'm back to not caring that much but wtf was that
Upon further consideration I have come to the conclusion that I still care that much.
the fact that this “get rid of the world and all the characters we care about and start over from scratch without them” is genuinely the “happy ending” of good omens 3 makes me Unhappy.
LITERALLY. I was talking to my husband about this literally a few hours ago, this is EXACTLY the "judge wants to erase humanity and start over". Thank fuck the Good Place presented this as a dumb and cruel decision

my girlfriend says 'good omens s2/s3' (as they are one overarching story) is to 'good omens s1' what 'love never dies' is to 'phantom of the opera'
so y'know. enjoy the very good adaptation of a beloved book. and then we can just treat 2/3 as intriguing high budget fanfiction (which it is because poor old terry's passed anyway)
Human crowley was how crowley was before the fall, was he not? Who he would've been without the suffering 😭
while i understand what they were trying to do with that, i fully reject it. demon!crowley was actually lovable all on his own, and in fact i hate how much of the finale was like “he was the best angel of them all”
FUCKING PREACH. Basically what Aziraphale said in the end of S2 (at least what Crowley heard) was that he wants to get Crowley back to how he was as an angel. And that broke Crowley's heart because it implies he isn't loved as he is. And then instead of reassuring him THEY DOUBLED DOWN ON THAT???

It's the same level of writing as the "it was just a dream" kind of ending

genuinely what was the point of the entire plot then. "crowley and aziraphale have to avert the apocalypse" them and everyone else in the world are going to die in a few years anyway. "they have to do something about the second coming" everyone's going to die. "they have to figure out their relationship now that the feelings have been spoken out loud" they're gonna spend like 30 minutes together and then they're going to die. and don't give me that "the journey was still worth it even if it ends" bs. they were scared and miserable and lonely their entire lives and then they died without ever being happy.
nah fuck that. what the fuck.
so 6000 years of queer defiance, quite literally in the face of god, now never existed. erasure has never been more literal. crowley and aziraphale didn’t just die, they never existed. their love story never existed. death you can grieve, you can commemorate what was lost; love transcends death. at the very least, they deserved that.
where was that love story, by the way? where was the romance? legitimately i felt more love between them during the final 15 than in the entirety of that 90 minutes. at least then it felt like they mattered to each other. fuck.
and aziraphale still works for the metatron?? are you fucking kidding me??? that is a wild message to be sending. even in some idealized world where they fall in love with free will, aziraphale still cannot escape the one that kept them apart. queer love still has to be allowed and endorsed and encouraged by the oppressor. fuck you actually.
genuinely i would’ve been so fine with a human ending if it was done well. i would’ve taken anything, i would’ve been so happy with a mediocre finale or even a bad one! fucking whatever! but that shit was offensive.
