Muppet Frankenstein, where the only human actor is the Monster, and he has no prosthetics. Everyone just reacts to the one human in their world as a horrific monster. The body parts before the animation are even visibly felt Muppet limbs, but the creature rises as a human.
Well lets remember how these movies work and the Muppet lore around them. The Monster would not meet âGonzoâ, if he encountered that Muppet it would be a character from the novel BEING PLAYED BY GONZO.
But Gonzo could play someone like Alphonse and never actually meet the Monster directly.
He could also play De Lacey and actually befriend the Monster briefly before his kids (Rizzo and Yolanda?) ruin it.
Okay thatâs a fair point. Gonzo would have to be a significant character because thatâs his thing. But maybe he never gets a chance to befriend the monster

Fandom is weird now. Itâs becoming less trusting and friendly, and the Orwellian surveillance issues that are currently running rampant in the USA and UK have bled over into fandom spaces.
Iâd read the articles that young people have no privacy and have become so accustomed to it that they enact on themselves. Abstractly I knew this and had accepted it, but itâs only now that Iâm seeing it become a major issues.
Obviously part of the problem is I need to become a trusted member of my new fandom. But fandom in general is becoming far more hostile to privacy than even just 5 years ago.
Iâve had to leave 3 servers that want to do age verification. And this is new. Not even 5 years ago when I started zines ppl just turning 18-20 were far more receptive to the ideas espoused by us older folks about not being surveilled. But now it almost feels like they *want* to be surveilled.
Theyâve become so used to it from tiktok and their government that they crave it. Iâd write a dystopia about it but unfortunately what even is there to say that hasnât already been said?
If youâre 18-22 now and youâre reading this and willing to listen without immediately calling me suspicious: this is not normal. Age verification will not keep you safe and will not keep minors safe either. It will only lead to the normalization of further surveillance and erosion of your privacy.
I know it can be an unwieldy text especially if youâre not used to reading academic sources, but go read The Panopticon. Watch V for Vendetta or read the comic, read 1984. Watch The Lives of Others and understand the ways this modern era is not so different from the Stasi in the film.
Please.
I donât want to see a rerun of the surveillance state anymore.

Hello! Iâve gotten a flood of new followers thanks to an addition I made about NOT torrenting from the Pirate Bay, so I want to address it better.
If youâve come to check my blog for more piracy resources, advice, guides, etc, then check out some of the links in this pinned!
First and Foremost, Do not do Anything without an adblocker. Ublock Origin is the best.
Resources/Wikis: đTop recommendation is the Free Media Heck Yeah Wiki, frequently updated, maintained, and transparent, as well as has a welcoming community behind it if you have questions. The rest are for redundancy's sake and for anything not found in FMHY, though most Wikis on this topic tend to repeat the same info. đ
The Largest Collection of Free Stuff On The Internet!
r/Piracy: â Ahoy, Me Hearties! Is this the pirate life you imagined? In exchange for treasures, riches, & eternal renown, I guarantee you a
Welcome to this wiki, where you'll find a wide range of piracy resources across various genres. It's also an excellent starting point for an

VPN Comparison Chart - General Rule of Thumb, DO NOT use any VPN recommended by Youtubers, influencers, or any other shill with a profit motive. Large marketing budget does not equal good privacy practices. Do your own research.
-Since both Mullvad VPN and IVPN are planned to now suspend port forwarding support, the next best choices for torrenting though a VPN seem to be AirVPN and ProtonVPN.
HOWEVER, AirVPN has no evidence of a no logging policy (aka thereâs a chance they keep records of what you do on their service) and ProtonVPN has no method of anonymously signing up and use a subscription model instead of a preferable pay-as-you-go model. So take that as you will.
(NOTE: You do not need to pay for a VPN if you are only directly downloading from a server or streaming off of websites! But itâs probably a good idea for privacy reasons anyways.)
A very good Comprehensive Torrenting Guide! -eye strain warning
And another one!
-If you torrent you need a VPN depending on how strict your government is on copyright laws. This works on a case by case basis, so I recommend looking up your own country's laws on the matter. Generally speaking, use a VPN to torrent if your country falls under The 14 Eyes Surveillance Alliance. More info on what that is Here.
A Note about Antivirus:
- If you're using trusted websites, and not clicking on any ad links/fake download ads (Should be blocked by ublock), then you don't necessarily need any antivirus. Common Sense and Windows Defender should be enough to get you by. If you would like to be certain on what you are downloading is legitimate, then run your file through a virus scanner like VirusTotal.
If you have any questions on anything posted, need help finding things, or just need some clarification on any terms used, shoot me an ask or message! I've got a few years experience with not paying for anything I want, and LOVE to help others with this kind of stuff. But if you don't trust me, since I am a random stranger on the internet, that's fine (I wont be offended promise)! Do your own research!

I love you sluts and whores and other people who are happy to have a lot of sex with many people. I'm sorry the world treats you like this and I want to send you 1000 kisses for being so brave and loving yourself and others so much.
It's funny coming from me, I do not like having sex with people I'm not really close with, and I hate bars and other places that are crowded and have lots of people, smells, sounds, textures, temperatures I'm unfamiliar with. The prospect of dating people or hooking up with people while not really scary, it is so deeply unappealing to me personally. It's just that it seems so silly to me that people are supposedly bad people for having fun meeting other people and having a healthy sex life, that somehow being a slut is a bad thing, it's silly and stupid and hurts so many people. Stressing people out over being themselves and having many consensual sexual relationships, like how is this a bad thing.
It's actually funny because the Party members at the top and the big wigs running stuff like kolkhozes and factories (same thing really) had A LOT more than this poster shows. It was a "do as I say, not as I do" kind of situation.
Exactly. While the top of the party was living their best lives, ordinary people were standing in lines to get deficit products and party convinced them that that's normal way of life. "Luxury" products that were hard to find included any household appliance, food (meat, sugar, milk, fish, butter, anything), clothes and shoes (not in a "I want to buy 10th jacket and I can't" way, but in a "I need new underwear, but there's none in stores" way), furniture, stuff for kids. Oranges and bananas were luxury. More than 2 pairs of shoes were luxury. Tights, wallpaper, soap, coffee, condoms, perfumes were luxury. You had to "know a guy" to get something you need.
The generational trauma around new stuff and money and never allowing yourself to buy something is still alive and well, everyone in post-soviet country has a grandma that doesn't allows herself anything good and is putting away every nice thing she is gifted just to preserve it (and most likely won't use that stuff in her lifetime). Everyone has a grandpa that will rather use unusable broken stuff before he buys something new. To the point of completely flat sponges, because "How can I throw it away, I know I have new ones, but I need to save this one", chipped dishes, weird relationship with food, clothes and shoes that are falling apart. And while you guys see it as a "Yasss underconsumption core", I see it as "I wish life was easier on our grandparents and they got to live instead of survive with what they were given".

Those of us in the U.K and Europe need to get our shit sorted very quickly before Trump takes office again. America can no longer be treated as a reliable ally in defense or trade. Even if Trump dies in office or is ousted in the next election this constant about face isn't something that a firm alliance can be built on.
To people in other countries. This could be you. Stop the rise of far right parties in your countries, stop Russian interference and crack down on misinformation and disinformation. Or what happened in the US today could happen to you too. Don't let the fascism spread.
And build up your militaries so you aren't reliant on others for defense.
This *is* us. Russian propaganda has been working nonstop for twenty or so years to ensure that. Getting the US is a big win for them. And trouble is, far right is basically survival mode paranoia response on a societal level and it gets pumped very intensely and constantly when destabilizing the world is so easy to do. Undoing this far right backslide requires a collective mental response of relaxation that just doesn't reflect the current circumstances.
something i've noticed that has become really annoying in the past 10 years or so is this fad of what i've been calling, for lack of a better word, "structural whataboutism." it's that thing where, when faced with a concrete, resolvable problem in your community, your answer is to blame it on a vast, unsolvable issue of structural inequality and then throw up your hands. "there's trash all over the ground in this corner of the park" becomes "well, that's where MEN OF COLOR congregate after their 12-HOUR GRAVEYARD SHIFTS and i'm not going to support a CARCERAL SOLUTION to a CAPITALISTIC PROBLEM. WE NEED TO ELIMINATE POVERTY AND THE SUBJUGATION OF THE WORKING CLASS" and it's like okay but sis. someone still has to go pick up the trash. we don't need a carceral solution, we need more trash cans. you're not going to eliminate poverty and the subjugation of the working class and even if ya did, there would still be trash on the ground. how any of this passes for radicalism within their peer groups i simply don't understand. it's radical laziness more than anything else

points about this
-it was shot off by a cannon
-he continued being a knight for over 40 years after getting the iron hand
-it was delicate enough he could still write with a quill using it, which is important as he was described as a âwarrior poetâ
-after a merchant-punching life suitable for an elder scrolls protagonist he was outlawed by the holy roman empire, friends of his used a high diplomacy roll and a bribe to get him out, and he then almost immediately kidnapped a bishop
-after outlaw of the holy roman empire 2 electric boogaloo was placed under house arrest in a castle he had purchased with all his quest rewards to spend the next 20 years drunk off his ass
Thatâs not GĂśtzâs hand. He had two prosthetics. The first had simple solid fingers similar to the one above, the second had jointed fingers which could be locked in place. He still had to move the fingers manually with his other hand.
