Nice and 12.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

There is this one scene from Craig of the Creek and since Hunter and Green Poncho share the same voice actor, well … you can thank me later. >:)

(I just crawled outta my Tumblr-grave to bring you this)

Me, leaving the room while everyone is crying because our sad boy is happy for once:

just some thoughts i had

Y e s

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHI DIE ZWEITE! :D

Damit hätte jetzt keiner gerechnet, was?! Ich bin eine lebende Wundertüte.

Ja … ich … also … apparently ist es wieder 2009 und ich mache Vocaloid Parodies mit Blank-Rune-Charakteren? Yeah, sounds about right.

Ich kann nicht glauben, dass ich für dieses Teil nur einen einzigen Tag gebraucht habe, aber Linda kann es bezeugen! (Okay, vielleicht anderthalb, wenn man die Bases mitzählt,,,) Aber ja, hier ist es! Ich hoffe, du magst es @herania​. uwu <3

critical thinking while consuming media is important but some of you really are like "if you enjoy a cartoon with flaws you will never achieve happiness"

The VVitch and Midsommar are both really interesting to me both as horror films and as the way that we read horror films, because the visuals of the ending make it easy to interpret them as films of bloody, violent female liberation, but it’s also very easy to view them as films where women subjected to physical and psychological violence get converted from one form of Oppressive Control to another. The trappings change but they are just as imprisoned. But watching the ending of both, I did still nevertheless have the feeling of “good for her” while simultaneously being like “I mean NOT GOOD GIRL, GET OUT.” 

Horror movies function as very weird parables where what’s metaphorically happening and what’s literally happening and what’s thematically underlying everything (i.e. systems of control) and what’s actually underlying everything (i.e. LOTTA BODIES) can create such dissonance, where done well there’s a horrifying blend of revulsion and attraction to the exact same things. A lot of works of fiction have a similar feeling (like reading about unhealthy romances where you’re like “this is bad but hot but wouldn’t it be nice if someone was that protective over me but also NO NO definitely not”) but horror allows us to indulge in that disgust and sense of wrongness so you get to wallow in ugliness and contradiction in a way that we don’t always feel free to do with other things we like but think we shouldn’t. 

momentai!

Harry Potter is like a fine whisky, it gets better with age.

Sherlock is like heroin, everyone is itching for their next fix.

Doctor Who is like red wine, mature and has a big history.

Germany & Prussia working out.

i cANT FUCK IN BRE A THE OK JUS TLOOK AT THIS FUCKING SCENE THEY HAVE FUCKIN MATCHING OUTFITS AN DTHEY’RE LIFTING WEIGHTS IN THE FUCKING HALLWAY LIKE ‘YEAH THIS IS A NORMAL FUCKING BROTHERLY BONDING TIME’ AND PRUSSIA IS SO MUCH SHORTER THAN GERMANY AND LOOKS FUCKING WEAKE R BUT THEN GERMANY FUCKING TIRES OUT BEFORE HIM AND IM LAUGHIGN

ALSO GERMANY IS MORE WHITE THAN PRUSSIA

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT

Well, I don’t know about the whiter part, except maybe Prussia sunbathes in the nude, or something, while Germany dresses conservatively, except in summer, while running around in short-shorts with Italy, and asking to spray off Japan’s back with the hose. 

The tired part, though: I know athletes are told not to have sex before a big game, because it makes their bodies weaker, so…

Maybe Germany is getting laid, and Prussia isn’t.

Ha. That, or Prussia is older, and therefore, more conditioned to strength-training. 

And younger siblings are usually taller than older siblings…

The strange thing about growing up in conservative Christianity and then leaving it behind is that there are a lot of secular/progressive spaces that engage in similar thinking while sincerely believing their ideas are counter to conservative ones. So I thought I would just make a list of things I was taught within conservative Christianity, the stuff that was either the core of our beliefs, or the social dynamics that we created. Some of the language I use is specifically either scriptural, or Christian-speak.

This list isn’t to say “stop thinking this way.” This is actually intended to simply be informative because sometimes social justice spaces assume, “we are crafting our ideals in opposition to conservative ideals therefore whatever we think surely must be the opposite of whatever they think,” without ever seeming to know that their language and ideals look and sound the same.

So, let’s begin:

Sin-leveling: x is bad, and y is bad, and all bad things deserve an equal reaction

Sin-leveling part 2: because all things are equally bad, there’s nothing wrong with inverting the consequences. Hurting others becomes acceptable (because it’s no different than doing something distasteful), doing something distasteful is unforgivable (because it’s no different than doing something harmful)

Avoid all appearance of evil: if I assume that your behavior looks wrong, then you are wrong, even if further context would say otherwise. You should avoid doing anything that others would see as wrong because you are not allowed the benefit of the doubt or to defend yourself.

Sin by association: x company contracted with y company. Y company engages in something sinful, which means x company approves of said sinful thing which means if you purchase from x company, you are condoning, supporting, and have actually committed the sin.

Think only on what is good: or as the pastor of my old church liked to call it, “garbage in, garbage out.” Whatever ideas, thoughts, words, arguments, stories, pictures, books, movies, songs, friends, love you put in your head will create the desire to become that. If you want to be good, you must avoid any bad thought because you will “slip” into wanting it and then be unable to stop yourself from being it. (For example, type into google “is secular music” and click on the autocomplete of “a sin”)

Language as an in-group test: if you do not describe your life, experiences, and beliefs with the exact same vocabulary and in-group speak, you are either not really one of us, or you’re someone who hasn’t thought through their ideas as deeply as I have.

By any means necessary: Also known in the ex-Evangelical world as “lying for Jesus.” If my words create the necessary beliefs and actions in others, then it doesn’t matter if I am exaggerating, saying half-truths, or using manipulative language, because I’m saving others and helping them do what’s right.

Touch not God’s anointed: any critiques of those our community trusts, critiques of those we’ve deemed “the good ones,” are actually people trying to sow discord and disunity to destroy our community and their voice should be silenced because they must be lying.

Judge not lest ye be judged: A scripture that we throw at people when someone says our leadership is abusive, a scripture we cry is being taken out of context when we want to harshly critique someone ourselves. 

There’s more, lots more, but this post is already fairly long. Once again, though, this isn’t intended to be combative. I just want people to know the actual social dynamics that a lot of us grew up with in conservative Christianity communities, so they know when sometimes they’re sharing those social dynamics, not countering them.

This is an excellent look at how Christian hegemony interacts with morality among cultural Christians, whether they are believers or not.

ich frag besser karin, ob sie da kaffee reingetan hat ……

Danke, dass du meine tiefsten Gefühle in so einem Universumstranszendierenden Medium zum Ausdruck bringst. Und das „Karin, ob sie da Kaffee reingetan hat“ hat auch einige Synapsen in meinem Gehirn aktiviert. 8D love you ❤️
