We Are Number Cake In Disguise Is Mine

I've just noticed the parallel between Dementus' "Where are you going, so full of hope? There is no hope!" and Max's "Hope is a mistake; if you can't fix what's broken, you'll go insane".

Furiosa was likely told many more times that hope was pointless, that nothing could save her or others around her, yet it's literally her hope, the sheer power of it, that ignites the entire story. Her hope to return to her clan, to find the Green Place, to save the Wives. For most of her life, all she had — and could have — was hope.

Wide awake because I can't stop thinking about how Furiosa saved Max from falling by catching him with her prosthetic arm, and because of the weight and her wound, she would have dropped him were the arm not a prosthesis strapped to her torso. And she didn't grab him by the leg, she caught him by the leg brace around his left knee, and the hold likely wouldn't have worked if not for the brace; later, Max saves her life.

The two most badass characters in what has been lauded as "one of the greatest action films ever made" only survive because of their mutual disabilities.

mad max: fury road says that when stripped down to its basic parts, the world is run by rich old men who control the production of weapons, oil, and water and food resources. these old men willingly hold most of the world in artificial poverty and take luxury as their right. they regard women as their property. they use sincere religious sentiment to further their selfish aims. they killed the world.

furiosa wants to fight back: she wants to escape to the green place, the utopia of childhood. but no matter what she and the wives sacrifice or how far they search, the earth is sour. the old men poisoned the soil with their bombs and their chemicals. there is no homeland outside of the systems these old men have dominated and these women have inhabited, the system furiosa has learned and perpetuated and rejected. their only option is to go back, to kill the old men and take their place in the tower where decisions are made.

can they hold the citadel, the ones who plant seeds instead of bombs? can they deradicalize the religious soldiers and create a more equitable society? can something grow in sour soil after all? we will never know. we leave our change-makers moving up into the seat of power. but as long as they rise, we can hold on to an ambiguous moment of hope.

they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.

when I was a kid I had an old tv in my room that would always turn to unwatchable static in the middle of shows but one night my sister and I were watching Naruto & every time Kakashi was on-screen the static cleared so we were like “hahaha the tv looooves Kakashi.”

I had a Kakashi bookmark so we held it up against the screen as a joke but the static actually cleared up. Mystified, we tried different bookmarks and objects with the same plastic material but nothing else worked, only the Kakashi bookmark.

We ended up taping it to the corner of the screen and it stayed there for 11 years until we moved out. When I was older people would be like “can you move the bookmark off the screen” bc it did sort of block a bit of the view but I would demonstrate the static issue and everyone was always just like “huh. what the hell?? well…alright.”

No explanation, but thanks Kakashi.

some of my favorite replies to this tweet. happy lesbian visibility week!

briefly forgot that porn was a thing and googled "doctor sex" looking for the tf2 meme. big mistake

Well you see minors under 25 years old should not be allowed to get gender reassignment surgery because what if they go to the clinic but instead of giving them a normal penis the nurses mess up and give them the evil penis. That's irreversible

OP which clinics have evil penises

OP please

OP we need to know

OP please
