buncha new followers today, time to talk about homestuck to thin the herd
i like homestuck, it's a good web comic, there's a part where a girl draws the outline of her body on the ground several pages before keeling over and dying in that exact position, which is how i wanna go
june egbert is canonically transfem and the toblerone wish was a spoiler, if you think june is a tryhard head canon then you have never talked to a trans woman in your life and also you're boring and have boring taste
"homestuck is bad" no homestuck is good actually fuck you
this isn't the reason homestuck is good i just like this joke
oh play pesterquest i wrote terezi
sitting around wondering how much longer i'm gonna be homeless, posting "vriska did nothing wrong" just to feel alive again

i am a fan of villeneuve and i have been holding out hope for dune from the beginning yet somehow i am still SHOCKED by how good villeneuve's dune actually is
dune is not an action movie, it's cosmic horror. the plot is basically, what if everyone realized that paul atreides is stuck in the hero's journey and that it spells the end of civilization as they know it and there's literally nothing they can do but watch it unfurl
what's really shocking to me is unlike blade runner 2049, which mostly just feels like a straight up and down sequel to blade runner, dune is very directly drawing attention to its real world parallels. this film has a proper sociological perspective. it's like a REAL movie
no, you misunderstand. i don't "dislike" disney. i'm not "not a fan." i genuinely believe that disney, its subsidiaries, and all their products are a catastrophic empire-focused parasitic evil exceeded only by the us military & the cia in its detrimental effect on human culture.
if i seem unhinged when i call disney "the great satan of our time" it's only because i literally believe that disney is the great satan of our time
"come on it's not that bad" there are explicitly homophobic films from the 20th century that are better representation than *anything* disney has produced in the last twenty years
everyone who followed me from my nft posts is now obligated to read all 386,936 words of my ongoing homestuck fanfic series godfeels. i invented an entire metaphysics of intellectual reality for it. there's gender. it is better for you than every nft post. archiveofourown.org/series/1475819
eventually there's a naval battle between a galleon and a giant octopus conveyed entirely from the perspective of a character who is bleeding to death and pinned to the deck with a big lance. this coneys nothing substantial about godfeels i just think this scene is funny
i actually did a video on godfeels back when it was just a story about a girl with gender. it's pretty good imo and i'm probably gonna do a sequel to it in the nearish future since i did in fact learn a few more things writing 150,000 words in three months
it is extremely funny how often nft guys, and even people writing nft-critical articles, straight up just don't know how nfts work. for instance: did you know that nft art is NOT stored on the blockchain?
if you buy an nft, the only thing actually on the blockchain is a hyperlink. the art itself is stored on a server just like any other digital file, likely one owned by the company producing that particular brand of nft.
the supposed advantage of the blockchain is its decentralized nature, right? everyone has a copy of the ledger, so unauthorized changes get caught immediately. this is only feasible at scale if the ledger itself is relatively small. hence: actual media must be stored elsewhere.
i'm just gonna be a codger here and say almost every american movie and television show of the last decade looks the same and sounds the same and feels the same. such inexpressive and disposable media. netflix hbo and disney ought to be nuked from fucking orbit
even when i'm watching shows i nominally enjoy, my praise is like picking flecks of gold out of a bowl of porridge. our idea of "prestige" media is so brainsplittingly bland it's no wonder adults flock to children's media just to remember what colors look like
folks mourning the impending death of the cinema as if it's been anything more than an overlong roller coaster ride since 2007.
