every time adobe does some bullshit with their software you get motherfuckers going "now's a good time to remind everyone TintonProClips is completely free and has all the same features as After Effects" and you look it up and it's linux-only and the ui is in yucatec maya

jesus christ superstar bravely asks the question: what if you and your homoerotic best friend in occupied judea built a radical leftist political movement together based on principles you hold dear but as the movement grows more followers join who seem less committed to its message and more interested in your homoerotic bestie as a charismatic leader, and then they even start saying some crazy shit about him being the son of god, and you try to ask him about it because surely he doesn't think that's true and he's weirdly noncommittal like "oh, yknow, if that's what they think who am i to tell them no, it brings more people to the movement anyways," and you're like i guess... but then this son of god stuff gets really serious and people are calling him a king too, and you're like this is gonna end badly if the romans catch wind of it, so you try to tell him to drop the son of god stuff but at this point he's so intensely beloved you can't even have a private conversation with him, and you start to think is he just drunk on his own power, because now he's barely staying on message and even actively contradicting your founding principles--not only that but he starts getting weirdly morbid, talking about his death coming soon and limited time on earth, etc. he seems unwell and frankly irresponsible, randomly lashing out in anger and filled with bitterness towards the followers he's cultivated, and towards you, too, and meanwhile your volatile homoerotic bestie is being hounded by tens of thousands of maniac zealots urging him towards open war with rome, and you're really the only one capable of stopping it, all you have to do is turn him in to the pharisees, but every time you think about it it makes you sweat because you could swear he already knows you're going to do it, he almost seems to want you to do it yet he hates you for it too, but someone needs to keep him from bringing the full might of rome down on the jews (again), so what if he hates you, is he even the person you thought he was anymore, regardless he could never love you the way you love him, and you need to do this, you have to do this, it's the only way. Would that be fucked up or what?

he's a bastard, he's a dogboy, he's a scribe, he's a stable hand, he's an assassin, he's a diplomat, he's a telepathic wizard, he's an oarsman, he's a brawler, he's a warrior, he's a wolf man, he's a liar, he's a teen dad, he's a deadbeat, he's a shepherd, he's epileptic, he's newboy, he's changer, he's tom, he's the fitz, he's the catalyst

pynch is awesome because adam thinks of ronan as being a bad influence that corrupts his innocent straightlaced nature by getting him to act like a reckless teenage boy instead of being the model scholarship student. its not that there isnt any truth to it. ronan is practically defined by reckless behavior. but the stuff ronan talks adam into doing is like. getting into a shopping cart and rolling across the grocery store parking lot. or dragging each other behind the back of a car on a skateboard. and adam is like ronans dangerous hes a savage hes sharp like a knife hes a dark enigma i dont know why i go along with his antics (he does)....but when its adam convincing ronan to do something its "lets fabricate evidence of our latin teacher abusing and murdering little kids and stand outside in his yard and throw a bag of chopped up body parts at him to run him out of town" girl HUH? and ronan is like yeah i basically view adam as an object of worship. and youre like wait hold on you think of him like hes a saint? and ronans like no. hes going to hellll 😁🩷
