A Sinister Creed

[guy whose bedtime is approaching fast] I need to write one billion words right now. and draw everything that has ever existed.

it’s the way miss americana was framed as this massive, tearful political awakening where she finally broke her silence because she couldn’t bear to be on the wrong side of history... only for her to pivot entirely in every aspect of her life + releasing 47 vinyl variants of the same album to block independent artists + dating problematic men while the world burns. the documentary was nothing more than a marketing campaign to rebrand her as an underdog. she literally told us she’s a mastermind, why are people still shocked when the math adds up to pure capitalism? and before anyone tries to yell misogyny: it is entirely possible to think the media historically mistreated her and think her current corporate greed is indefensible. both can be true. equality doesn't mean women get a free pass to operate like a multinational conglomerate without criticism. she explicitly capitalized on a faux-feminist, politically active rebrand in miss americana to gain cultural favor. weaponizing feminism as a shield against legitimate critique—like her silence on human rights issues or her massive carbon footprint—actually degrades the movement. you can love her music and still recognize that billionaire status requires exploitation, regardless of gender.

Ok but like….this ship of people who have been traveling from Earth for 200 years and weren’t aware that, after they had already left, humanity invented a way to travel through space fast and have colonized multiple star systems, is way more interesting than the actual main story, I’m sorry. And it would have been perfect for a player character to be someone from that ship discovering the rest of the now colonized galaxy. Seriously wtf Beth.

Oooooh but maybe I could make my OC be from the the ship? 👀👀👀
