Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

the songs Beyoncé writes about that man are crazy it's like watching someone build the sistine chapel for a possum they found in a gas station parking lot

having received a lot of feedback about this post in the last 24 hours I've realized that everyone is right and I genuinely do need to apologize. possums are lovely creatures and they don't deserve to be compared to Jay Z, that was a deeply uncool thing of me to say. I'm sorry possums, I love the way you eat ticks and I hope you'll forgive me someday.

I've been informed that the thing about possums eating ticks might also be wrong. sorry that this post has become a monument to bad information about the noble possum. the point about Jay Z stands though.

Do you guys remember how kidnap fantasies were popular on wattpad because young girls and queer teens were both made to feel shame at the thought of their own sexualities, so the fantasy of being kidnapped totally against their will was a way for them to engage with a romantic or sexual fantasy without feeling morally in the wrong for doing so? Added bonus that the fantasy involved being whisked away from repressive environments like home or school, right?

Finding out that Bram Stoker was in a sexless marriage and that scholars believe that he very likely was closeted gay puts the entire book into perspective as to WHY it reads EXACTLY like a self insert wattpad Dracula kidnap fic:

“I TOTALLY love my wife and would never do anything that an upstanding Good Straight Working Man wouldn’t do but oh nooo, big strong man with broad back and strong enough arms to carry me back to bed like a princess trapped me and claimed me as his, completely against my will 👉👈 But he protects me against the bad evil sexual women (who I assure you, I am TOTALLY sexually attracted to, as any straight man with a choice would be) but trust me, I do NOT want ANY of this. What’s that? The Count is not capable of feeling love? Would be a shame if I had the special ability to change tha-”

This is also the fantasy behind all those old bodice-ripper romances that people today like to mock or call problematic, by the way.

“Oh, my next forty years are going to consist of nothing but washing dishes and keeping house and bearing children for the disdainful man I married right out of high school because my parents said college was for men and I had no other obvious life path open to me? What if a pirate captain thought I was worth stealing away from it all? [what if I ran away but no-one could blame me for leaving]?”

#I read an article a long time ago about a woman who was raised in an incredibly repressive conservative christian community#where all that mattered was purity and virginity etc #She talked about how for a long time rape fantasies were the only way she could derive any pleasure from sex #because she couldn’t feel safe exploring the idea of wanting sex #it wasn’t really ABOUT rape or eroticizing assault or whatever #it was about creating a scenario where she was free from the shame associated with wanting #i think this is true of a lot of icky-seeming stuff in romance and erotica #it’s an imaginary scenario where nothing you don’t really want actually happens #but you can’t be blamed or feel guilty for it #you didn’t do anything wrong#anyway that article changed my perspective a lot #i think there’s also something to be said for people who have felt ugly and undesirable their whole lives #enjoying fictional scenarios where a hot alpha werewolf or whatever is so attracted to them he ‘cant help himself’ or whatever #because it can also be really shameful to want to be desired #when you feel like youre ugly and gross ( @headspace-hotel )

I really think people have forgotten just how bad things were under the Trump Administration. Literally every day there was news about some service being cut or someone terrible appointed somewhere they shouldn't be or what have you. He constantly flirted with WW3 and military dictatorship. It was such a blur of badness that there aren't big standouts for people to point to to make him "the XYZ president." it was everything. all the time. Why do we not remember this.

Remember how everyone learned Zelenskyys name? he wasn't the presiden of Ukraine standing up against a longshot defense against a Russian invasion. He was that guy that Trump tried to extort in order to get blackmail against Joe Biden.

Can anyone name the current secretary of education? I can't. But I can list the shitty things Betsy DeVos did

He was extorting Zelenskyy by threatening aid to Ukraine.

He assassinated an Iranian general. Luckily the Iranians are smarter than him and didn’t start a war over it.

He move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

He started a trade war with China for no reason.

He was just constantly picking stupid fights with everyone.

Just a ton of stupidity internationally, in addition to heinous domestic policies like trying to deliberately destroy the Postal Service, reversing tons of anti discrimination rules, just axing regulations with no regard what they were for.

And through it all, the President’s latest Tweet was prime time news every single night.

Not only can we not go back to this, that's actually a best case scenario under a second Trump presidency.

Worst case scenario is that he greenlights Project 2025 and we just literally all live in an actual fascist dictatorship.

Hey remember how he antagonized Kim Jong Un?

#hey remember how literally every day we had an international incident because the president was mad on the internet

Remember Charlottesville, the kids in cages with the family separation policy, Trump appointing a rapist to a lifetime Supreme Court appointment, him putting 1/3 of current justices on the Court to overturn Roe, the Muslim Ban, him leaving Puerto Rico to rot after Hurricane Maria, his entire COVID response, him encouraging violence against BLM protesters ("when the looting starts, the shooting starts"), him ending DACA and TPS, and you know, him trying to be president for life and the entirety of January 6th?

It was constantly so bad, and I don't trust anyone who downplays the persistent chaos of those 4 years.

the thing about xander I think is that getting fucked in the ass once would fix HIM but there's not a single dude in the cast that wouldn't become worse as a result of being The Guy Who Fucked Xander Harris

Oz: it could feasibly only happen in the aftermath of the WillOz/Cander Breakup Extravaganza and it would absolutely just be the Oz-equivalent to angry sex (which is to say regular sex but his brow is furrowed) and afterwards Oz would be like I was a man unhinged I can never unleash that rage-filled beast again and Xander's like wait were you mad. still?

Larry: he'd get high off of the buzz of justifying bullying Xander for years with "hey man I guess we're just soulmates drawn together by fate" and try too hard to get involved in Xander's life and inevitably get eaten by a monster for being a scooby love interest and a gay guy in 90s tv

Riley: riley would literally accuse xander of seducing him with magic like five minutes after the fact and xander's like what no man we just got really riled up watching team america world police but riley's already yelling over at his pants on the floor like THIS IS AGENT FINN WE GOT ANOTHER WITCH and graham's voice comes through on a little speaker like ry you can't keep doing this

Spike: we saw how mad Spike was when he realised he wanted to fuck certified-hottie Buffy. If he fucked Xander bad-fashion bad-jokes no-powers no-game Harris Spike would have crossed over to AtS like three seasons earlier like I can't show my face on the hellmouth ever again I put my dick in a basement dwelling pizza boy

Angel: good lord. jesus christ. if perfect happiness releases angel's soul do you think realising he just had sex with xander would attach it permanently. as if angel needs more reasons to pretend all his gay thoughts come from the demon

The entire Sunnydale High Swim Team in that one sauna scene: this one would be fine actually

didn't include Dracula bc it's already too late for him 😔

all this said I do think xander and ethan rayne could have had the age gap yaoi relationship of all time. xander stumbles into so much chaos by accident that ethan would be frothing at the mouth to make him his bride. and xander has classic daddy issues AND giles daddy issues so he'd be celebrating his fourth anniversary with ethan but still be like ftr this is just bc of the band candy messing with my head and ethan's like ofc babe

scream

"please read it" i think she should be allowed to kill him actually <3

Watching brio scenes for the first time: just fuck already!!

Big Labor News, the WGA won on nearly all fronts.

Second step basically means that the writers are now garenteed the ability to do at least 1 rewrite or the second step of writing after the first step of creating a draft

That explains some things.

i dont understand people who dont want to fuck music like yr really telling me youve NEVER had a bassline suck and fuck u out of this world... ok man. 🫵🤨

basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body. that’s basically fine.

if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out. 

unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.

These words scan with a fantastic degree of confidence considering that together they make no sense at all
