i think the difference between sex and gender as highlighted in phm is fascinating. gender as a concept is completely absent in eridian culture. sex is something rocky definitely had with that earth creature

okay. breathe. listen to my voice. can you tell me five things in this room you can fuck?

okay great. now list me four things in this room you can kill.

beautiful. there you go. okay. now: tell me three things you can impose unjust taxes on.

almost done. can you list two things you could shove in a pipe and smoke?

last one: one thing you could use as a makeshift weapon?

This was too hard for me, cause I can use anything as a makeshift weapon but I'm asexual and don't fuck, so I'm never getting past the first question.

It's not a question of will you fuck it, it's a question of *can* you. Like, logistically. No attraction or actual intent needed.

Can I? No, because I'm sex repulsed. I don't see anything fuckable in this room. Other people, I'm sure, could find things that could be fucked, but my brain does not work like that. They see options that I do not. It's like face blindness, but for impromptu sex toys, only it's not a problem,

I guess you’re never escaping my panic attack machine then

Forever baffled by the fact that Tim Burton is still thought of as a defender of oddness. He treats monsters as things to be gawked at, to be drawn and imagined, then put away in a safe little box. He doesn't love monsters, he loves freak shows.

"Tim Burton is a defender of oddness!" Tim Burton can't stand the idea of not treating fat people as carnival freak shows who are usually some flavor of cruel, disgusting, and/or just flat-out evil. He thinks he loves monsters so long as the monsters are coded as conventionally attractive skinny white people.

"But just look at his aesthe-" NO. Look at the ending of every fucking one of his movies. The odd protagonist has a return to normalcy. Every time. Every fucking time. Burton's a surbub boy and deserves his entire aesthetic being stolen by every mallgoth and new indie filmmaker that can steal a camera and write better.

Wordle is running out of words. Only 2,000 five letter words remain. When that supply is exhausted the Creation shall begin. One day the word will be ZHURM, and all shall get it, and all shall understand it to mean "an ache from suddenly remembering a long-ago friend, who meant something to you once, but whose face you can no longer conjure". The next day the word shall be JOROL, and all will get it, and all will know it means "the melancholy confusion of passing by somewhere where you once could have died". The next day it will be GREFT, and all will understand it to be a small brown bird with white streaks found only in South America, and suddenly, it will appear, in the shrubs of the Atacama desert, in the streets of São Paulo, and all will know that it once was not there, but now, will always be

psych style adaptation of king arthur where everyone thinks merlin has magic because he keeps solving camelot’s problems but he actually has no magical ability at all and it’s just that everyone else is incompetent. he keeps up the magic thing though by making up weird prophecies and cryptic comments because he kind of needs a job

sir kay is the lassiter figure like so pissed off all the time that merlin is obviously lying and won’t stop interfering with his job, but arthur just kind of keeps merlin around because like yeah the magic thing is ridiculous…but somehow he still is solving everything and doing better than the actual people i hired (kay). so fine by me!

people keep saying this is just connecticut yankee NO. connecticut yankee kills the whimsy and the magic and says look isn’t it funny now? isn’t it funny to strip away the whimsy? no. we are keeping the whimsy. in this plot line magic is still very much real and a very useful skill to have in a royal advisor, one that’s highly sought after. it’s just that merlin doesn’t have it

real magician shows up to court and merlin is like im so fucked. desperately trying to take notes on what real magicians do the whole time. toward the end of the episode merlin realizes this guy is faking too and reveals him as a fraud to the whole court, of course in a way that confirms everyone’s belief that merlin does in fact have magical abilities. arthur is very pleased, patting merlin on the back. “wow I can’t believe he almost got away with that. it’s crazy how easy magic is to fake.” merlin smiles, sweating buckets. sir kay is staring daggers

Interpreted this initially not as shelves, but as your cat having erected defensive fortifications
