Hey so apparently Tumblr does this fun thing where it just... never gives me any indication that I have messages from certain blogs and doesn’t even put them in my “conversation menu”? It might have something to do with messaging from a side blog.
So if you’ve ever tried to reach out to me and I apparently totally ignored you, please try again or send me an ask or something, because Tumblr probably just fucking erased it from existence.
not me and my friend screaming in the theater when these guys showed up and one of the first things they did was cuddle 🥺
Ok but like
Do they actually know the tulkuns are sentient?

hi what do you think of [leading question trying to get you to say something i can use against you]?
oh! i think [answer rattled off in about two seconds that doesn't account for every possible counterpoint or life experience every person might have, which will later be interpreted as a statement vaguely referencing some discourse i have never heard of and don't care about]
oh! so you [worst faith interpretation of your answer with a sense of hyperbolic importance outside my specific echochamber]
wtf no?? obviously [incredibly defensive response that is then construed as further evidence for guilt]
A bad miracle
This from Nope's wiki makes me think about how Jordan Peele could have even been communicating how humans see horrific spectacles and have this twisted need to worship it as well as exploit it.
Like how many religious beliefs come to mind when you think about that (looking at you evangelicals)
The way that the alien in Nope's final form looks like an old studio camera. The way the opening credits take place inside its stomach, shown as an endless darkness framed by billowing sheets - the blanket-like hood of an old camera that the photographer hides under. The way Jupe calls the alien The Viewer. The way Jupe makes stuffed animals of what he imagines the aliens inside the "ship" to look like subconsciously reference the camera magazines on the set of Gordy's Home with the body of a monkey. The way that Jupe was only saved because the table cloth kept him from looking Gordy in the eyes. The way that OJ and Em signal "I see you" before the final showdown. The violence of attention. The all-seeing eye. The panopticon. The camera obscura. The dark chamber. The spectacle.
