what else ought there be

Dungeon Master Marcille... [ref]

Me the second half of the backrooms:

i was genuinely sitting there thinking “holy shit this is such a unique creative decision i think it’s so awesome that the director prioritised cinema goers by referencing the theatre itself in the movie in order to confuse people and emphasise the weirdness of liminal spaces” until it dawned on me that having a watermark across the screen the entire time probably wasn’t a conscious choice by kane parsons.

i do still believe i’m watching the ideal version though because there’s something about watching found footage of the backrooms and a random shadow of a man appears on screen only to disappear a moment later and quiet nonsensical voices coming from somewhere inside your headphones and camera work that always looks like it was filmed on a camcorder that really works for this movie and I’m devastated to find out that this isn’t Normal.

I wish they would realize that universal healthcare doesn’t mean they HAVE to get healthcare through the state, just that it is there. You can still pay millions of dollars out of pocket for your own treatment at a private hospital.

America actually has terrible healthcare compared to a lot of nations with socialized medicine:

American leftists, who have been fed for years that America is supporting Israel and it's evil: the evil (((Zionists))) are stealing our healthcare! We pay for it!

Nazis: you're right, these filthy Jews are responsible for every illness in America.

The mirror replied "To whom?"

"The miller who made the flour for my bread," the queen would say, or "Whoever spun the thread my shawl was made of".

The second time, she says "To the King," and she is pleased to see herself once more.

The third time, she says "To the Royal Advisor," and is once more satisfied to see herself.

The fourth time, she says "To the scribe who takes the King's letters." She is shown the man's wife. And she seethes, but quiets herself, for it is only right that a man loves his wife.

The fifth time, she says "To the Court Wizard," and is shown the man's departed mother as he remembers her from his youth, radiant and smiling and warm and larger than life.

The tenth time, she says "To the Stable Master," and is shown the fastest horse in the stable, majestic and free as the wind even in captivity

"To the baker," she is shown the man's daughter, young and adorable and full of joy and laughter.

"To the artist who did my portrait," she is shown a painting of a woman done by the man's teacher, who he still looks up to now that he is well established himself.

"To the Royal Knight," she is surprised but not displeased to see the castle's entire guard force in the middle of doing drills.

The one hundredth time she asks the mirror, and it asks her "to whom?" she once again says, "To me." And she does the same the one hundred and second, and again and again and again.
