im just saying that if i see any of you supporting that new “heathers” movie remake im going to hit the fucking ceiling
i believe that the trailer speaks for itself on why you shouldn’t support it
i watched the trailer. while i don’t believe in forming an opinion without seeing the source, i don’t recommend watching the trailer without taking a huge breath because of a whole host of triggers but to sum it up? this movie directly misses the point of “heathers” and instead puts minority characters as villains. the “punchline” about their characters is that they are fat, or a poc, or genderqueer. that’s the joke. somehow, this “makes them popular.” instead of incredibly privileged rich girls, we get a stereotype straight from a baby boomer’s book of “evil sjws”. it’s cringe-worthy. the protagonist is a feathery, wispy white girl. if the red pill part of reddit came out with a version of “heathers” it actually might be better than this.
there’s a lot from the original heathers that doesn’t age well, but boy is this movie shaping up to be a fucking wreck. it’s essentially someone’s fantasy about killing people who don’t look or act like those in power. in the current world as it stands, it’s pornographic violence against minorities, and is the opposite of subversive. where the original heathers was “punching up,” this movie basically says “what if we finally got to kill gay people and people of color and fat people on screen,” as if it doesn’t fucking happen in person. this movie is a neonazi’s wet dream. two straight white people killing minorities? hmm why doesn’t this shock me.
this movie not only leans into the idea that situations of massive disadvantage are actually just “secretly positions of power,” (hi that’s an idea that nazis have) it relishes in the idea that they deserve to be killed for it. i know a lot of people are mad that this is ruining the whole vibe of the original, but please be more mad that this is an idea that went through many many many people and nobody stopped it. hollywood is promising us change and then gives us this bullshit?
please don’t go see this movie. don’t promote it. they get money from you watching the trailer and they get money from people who hatewatch it and they get money when you make fb posts about how much you hate it. so just like. turn ur back. let it die quietly, because the more noise we make about it, the more vindicated the creators will be – this idea that they’re “going against pc culture and being edgy and new and shocking” is a really popular farce to cover up “i’m actually invested in the status quo and used to cry when i had to share in preschool also even though i think i’m unique i have the exact personality of a rotten tuna sandwich” – so don’t give them a chance to cover their asses. just don’t fucking bother.
god i hate this i hate this is even a thing i didn’t even like love the original heathers but holy shit this is a fucking mess
I see a lot of people subscribe to the idea Gabe was totally a theatre kid and also the headcanon he runs a lot of undercover missions for Blackwatch, but I hardly ever see people combine those into Gabe being a total chameleon at slipping into different characters and using them to get close to targets with their guard down. Every so often I’ll see like, dapper tuxedo Gabe flirting with corrupt execs at fancy parties but I just want like, totally out of character chipper personal trainer Gabe and bumbling suburban dad Gabe.
Really just the idea of drama kid Gabe running a secret deep cover black ops spy organization with Keith Ferguson’s complete range of voice acting talent at his disposal hahaha.
Dammit, @coelasquid is a vast trove of fic ideas, and here’s another one to add to the pile.
the universe: okay, you’re a human. I gave you free will and a conscious mind, so you’re free to do whatever you want. So what do you wanna do?
human: GO FAST
the universe: well, you’re a perfect pursuit predator but if that’s the way you want to evolve, go ahead.
human, climbing on a horse: GO FAST
the universe: wait what
human, inventing the carriage, the car and the bullet train: GO FASTER
the universe: I IMPLORE YOU TO STOP
human, trying to figure out lightspeed travel: FAS T ER
human:
THEORETICALLY MAXIMUM FAST
the universe:
How will the people in the ship not get gibbed?
Because the warp drive doesn’t actually accelerate the ship, it just makes the space in front of it smaller and the space behind it larger. Or something.
it works like this
Objects cannot accelerate to the speed of light within normal spacetime; instead, the Alcubierre drive shifts space around an object so that the object would arrive at its destination faster than light would in normal space without breaking any physical laws.
A WRINKLE IN TIME IS COMING TRUE
We gonna be surfing gravity waves!!
COWABUNGA SPACE DUDES!
I love how mankind’s solution to ftl is just to bend to rules of reality a little.
Universe: ok human, with the physical laws as they are you can’t go faster than the speed of light.
Humanity: ok, let me just figure out how to manipulate space time so I can go FASTER!
That’s literally how the ship in Futurama works lol the professor says the ship doesn’t move at all, it moves all of space around it. Can’t believe Futurama was right
Inspiration is not always there when we need it but I still wanted to share these unfinished arts of Feyre and Rhysand because I’m so excited for ACOWAR!!!
The first was the scene in the summer court, when Feyre makes water float around them. The second was the bathtub scene, right before Feyre cleans Rhysand’s wings. I’m sad I never finished them but they felt visually flat and I couldn’t keep working on them. Thought I was quite happy with the faces, especially in the second drawing.
can everyone plz wish my parents a safe flight tomorrow morning to the isle of man cos my dad’s ban from visiting the island has been lifted finally after 40 all cos he fired a bottle rocket at the queen of england when he was a teenager
since i’ve gotten some intrigued asks here’s the story:
when my dad was 15 he went with his scout troop to a scouting jamboree on the isle of man where he and his friends decided to set off bottle rockets in the park cos idk they were dumb boys. and one of the bottle rockets went careening off into the road where it exploded right beside a car
now, in what year was my dad 15? 1977. the queen of england’s silver jubilee year. and what was the car my dad’s bottle rocket hit? the queen’s car in the cavalcade during her jubilee visit to the isle of man
throw in the fact my dad is irish and the 70s were the height of the troubles between the republic and britain and WHAM BAM THANK YA MAM! my dad got hit with a lifelong ban from ever visiting the isle of man and he and the whole scout troop were sent home
idk who decided to let him off for good behaviour after 40 years but when he got the letter in 2017 saying he could visit the isle of man again after jan 1 2018, my dad burst into the room on my stepmom and i and announced, “WE’RE GOING TO THE CHANNEL ISLANDS!”
shout out to the anon who just messaged me “that means somewhere out in the multiverse there’s a universe where your dad murdered the queen of england” which i’m never posting and just keeping in my inbox forever thank you that’s lovely and yes that’s exactly the response i wanted this to get
just to truly bring this story to complete conclusion my dad just facetimed me from the park where he nearly killed the queen 40 years ago 🌟
‘Bulma, she’s a fine wife, well aside from her temper, what am I blathering about! I might as well be reclining on one of those lazy chairs! FORGET WHAT I SAID! GOODBYE!’
i am well aware that the really aggressive and wildly pseudoscientific vegans are a noisy minority but like it still always really gets me when vegans try to claim that humans are herbivores like.. look at me with your forward facing eyes and speak to me with your mouth of diversified teeth for both tearing and chewing and try to convince me
come to think of it, why wouldn’t someone with superman’s powers use them for physical comedy? like. buster keaton style. or dick van dyke. he is invulnerable and can fly, those are the perfect circumstances for a pratfall. half the time only he is aware that he is joking and he just looks like a clumsy asshole but he knows in his heart that the timing on that gag was perf. add this to my list of stupid fucking headcanons.
clark sits down too aggressively in a desk chair, rolls backward across basically the whole office before the chair tips backward and he rolls out of it and into a vending machine in the break room that drops candy on his head because he whacked it. lois is laughing so hard she can’t breathe but the joke is on her, he did that on purpose. he planned that gag for days. she is laughing with him, not at him. who is the real winner here. score one for kent.
