It is that time of the year again:

I’m rewatching all the Alien movies in order (starting with Prometheus and Covenant) and I still CANNOT believe that everyone watched the FUCKING ANGRY NOKIA ANDROID™️ (David, not my bby Walter) DIRECTLY NOT LISTENING TO THEIR ORDERS ON LV-223 WHILE HAVING THE MOST SUSPICIOUS WEIRD DIALOGUE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE and they didn’t even stop to think:

Like are you people completely brainless? You stupid. A few examples:

Shaw: “David do not open the door” ➡️ David proceeds to open the door immediately after she says it.

Vickers: “Let me watch your camera while you explore the chamber.” ➡️ David cuts her off as soon as he enters the chamber.

Shaw: *Almost dies because of that alien embryo inside of her, is barely standing on her feet, she’s mentally gone entirely.* ➡️ David: “I know you had it in you… Sorry that wasn’t the right thing to say.”

I DON’T WONDER WHY THEY ALL DIED IN THE SPAWN OF 3 DAYS OR SO. THEY ARE STUPID. HE WOULD DO ONE SUSPICIOUS MOVE ON MY WATCH AND HE WOULD BE DONE GOOFED, LOCK HIM IN THE FUCKING BROOMSTICK CABIN AND DON’T LET HIM OUT.

HE EVEN FUCKING DYED HIS ROOTS. THAT’S YOUR FIRST RED FLAG. 🚩

#this movie always finds its way to make me dumbstruck #like these guys are idiots #ripley proved time and time again that androids are not to be trusted #and here he is: the unhinged sassy psychopathic Android fucking everyone over #*gasp* why am I gasping I already knew that #the funniest part is #everyone agreeded that the crew of Prometheus were brainlets #each and one of them #Alien: Prometheus (2012) #the alien series #Ridley Scott #David the Android #michael fassbender #Elizabeth Shaw

The fact that a work can be enjoyed both in order of release and in chronological order (as happens in the story) in different ways, and fans, Fandom and even AUTHORS of things tend to pick one way or the other to recommend as a first read goes right over your head huh

You should do it in release order to gain a deep appreciation for the evolution of and development of the series and the growth of its creator/s (and any surrounding technologies or techniques if relevant) honestly if you have to do things chronologically you're just showing you're a brainlet who can't handle simple non-linear narratives

[cardboardhydrate-sentry-station]

Gl//chtale portraying Papyrus as someone so incompetent at fighting he not only destroys an entire building fighting lumps of bubblegum, but also looks so proud of himself when he bounces Pink Overlord off a building with a bone attack (while Gaster and Sans pretty much obliterate her while he stands there just....... watching) really fucking irks me, even after knowing what a shitstorm that series is.

#like we know cuevas is a trash being in herself but #man the way she portrays papyrus in general just...... really annoys me #like he's constantly brushed to the sidelines #i'd understand if it was just everyone brushing him aside because they think he's too weak and innocent -- and she does do that #but the only times he's shown in this series is when he's being innocent uwu baby or complete fucking brainlet #and even those times are rare #like i'd sort of understand if it was a case of 'he doesn't want to kill people' but he cheers gaster when gaster kills pinky #i'm not tagging spoilers #don't interact if you're a fan of this show i don't feel like arguing #is this rant petty? maybe but i don't care #anyway goodnight

Time to tally up every L Sotsu has made every WTC fandom take

Umibros:

-Higurashi Ouroboros theory disconfirmed for this gameboard

-logic error either retconned or never explained

-Lambda never explicitly confirmed, might not even be Vier herself depending on what happens in Ciconiaverse

-No Bernkastel cameo. doesnt even get a namedrop smh. Featherine is obsessed with her being her miko so Eua not her i guess

-no battler appearance (I have never understood this one and it's either a meme or brainlets wanted a crossover that badly)

-Eua being Featherine not totally off the table but she's probably the horned species Hanyuu is in Kotohogushi, the device became part of her head

-RIP to you if you were expecting a sleeper announcement for new Umineko anime

For you, the Ciconiabros:

-Eua and Vier connection never explained

-Ryukishi namedropped 3 different names and the anime refused to elaborate on literally any of them

-Brain jar Satoko and Rika/Matrix simulation theory disconfirmed

-phase 2 coming soon from what I heard though

Higurashi:

-No world without Rika

-Satoko gets to skip out on the consequences because Vier turned out to be possessing her the whole time if we take it at face value

-Perfect ending but at what cost

-higurashi Jun alternative ending is pending so that might be more satisfying

Overall, pretty standard procedure from Ryukishi. Live reactions to endings of his works historically aren't as overall positive as people reading everything on hand in the future. However in GouSotsu's case, the entire series being bingeable now may not allow it to age well in the future. Gou is fairly solid on its own but Sotsu really drives down the enjoyment. That will be a slog for bingwatchers, imo only ep 14 and 15 are rewatchable. The only bros that won today were the ones who didn't have expectations

#higurashi sotsu spoilers #this is only 70% serious i am numb though. big meh

[kaedeichinose]

any series involving female characters and trauma will bring the absolute brainlets to the party, no exceptions 

#girls can die and get stabbed dude its fine #kino even

Clarifying the Crusades as “Defensive War”

Or How NOT to Do Crusader Apology

I felt the need to write this blogpost because there is a massive (but understandable) misconception that comes with defending the Crusades among people that know they have been smeared by liberals and revisionists, but are prone to commit serious blunders themselves because they lack historical knowledge about them. Some view it as a proper belated response after centuries of Islamic aggression which may be the case, but that is a gross oversimplification of what actually happened. But there are a lot of subtle details that get lost which result in constructing a very idealized view of the Crusades as an pan-Christian cooperation effort to destroy Islam. As an historian specialized in this time period and someone who goes at great lengths to defend them from political activists, I must advise fellow apologists to not fall into certain traps when talking about it.

The Context of Islamic Aggression

The Crusades officially began in 1095, but their origins can be traced back as further as the rise of Islam almost five centuries prior. Previously Christian lands such as Egypt, Syria, Palestine, the entirety of Northern Africa and Spain fell at Muslim rule and even then this didn’t stop further attacks all over the Mediterranean and Southern Europe from Arab pirates.

It’s important to note that the vast majority of this aggression directed at Europe was committed by the Umayyad Caliphate, which was established after the death of Ali, Muhammad’s cousin, the fourth caliph of Islam (and first Imam of Shia Islam). This caliphate practically continued the policies of expansion laid out by it’s predecessors but following the Battle of Portiers and the Second Arab Siege of Constantinople (both Christian victories that halted any expansion into Europe), the Umayyads entered a period of decay and a lot of infighting took place where they were replaced by the Abbasid Caliphate. This one was a lot less violent and more interested in consolidating it’s power by fighting rival Islamic empires than waging war on the infidels. One such rivals were the Seljuk Turks, a recently converted people that became displaced from the Turkic regions into the Middle-East.

The immediate cause of the Crusades was the Seljuk’s advance into Eastern Anatolia gobbling up huge parts of the Byzantine Empire and eventually culminated in the Battle of Mazinkert where they dealt a crushing defeat and the Emperor was captured, throwing the Empire in disarray. Alexios Komnenos was the emperor that sent letters of help to the Pope asking for relief - which was no easy task since the Catholic and Orthodox churches have parted ways over a series of theological, ecclesiastical and political disputes. Pope Urban assembled the Council of Clermont where he pledged Catholics to take up arms to 

This is No “War on Terror”

A often cringy apologist statement I see thrown out is that “The Crusades were waged to stop Islamic aggression” because I know any debater is gonna pick that one apart and embarrass the one who said it. The reason why its said is because 1) apologist observes there was historical preceding violence against Christians 2) therefore the Christians are fighting back. However, it’s important to note that by the time the Crusades were declared, there was no realistic chance of Islam ever taking Europe by military power because of the dispute between the countless Islamic states like the Abbasids, the Umayyads, the Seljuks, the Fatimids and etc. 

The contemporary rhetoric of the Crusades at the time was “retake the Holy Land”, not “stop the invasion”. While it’s perfectly plausible that Urban II did fear a potential invasion in the future should the Byzantine Empire collapse, the average crusader at the time did not sell his possessions and donated his lands to fund the expedition to possibly die in a far away land to preserve their Earthly way of life. He did it for the salvation and expiation of his soul - that is what he believed in. I think this isn’t acknowledged by apologists - whether they be actual Christians or secularists themselves (yes they exist) - because it’s embarrassing to admit at one point this is what Christians believed, but that is what history taught us whether we like it or not.

The one context where you could conceivably call this particular campaign a “defensive war” was to lend assistance to the Byzantine Empire, given they were in a time of crisis and needed all help they could get. Might as well call the ones to preserve the established Crusader states that were under threat. The problem is that it leads to another misconception made by Crusade defenders...

Christian Unity Was Lacking

While it’s true that Pope Urban was successful in inflaming the crowds of Europeans at Clermont about the atrocities reaped on the Christians of the East, another common misconception made by modern apologists is that they were acting like how Catholics and Orthodox do today, they were going to liberate their brethren and then leave them be. Due to the East-West Schism that took place just a few decades ago, the reality was far more cynical: The Catholic Church had no intention of restoring of restoring the reconquered lands to the Byzantine Empire and all Crusader states were to be under Latin jurisdiction, ruled by Latin Catholic monarchs with Catholic clergymen. As far as the Catholic Church was concerned, the Eastern Orthodox Church was schismatic and was to be brought into heel rather than left to coexist.

It’s well documented that Western knights disdained Byzantines for their seemingly effeminate and hedonistic manners, finding them unmanly fuccbois, while Byzantines wrote how Catholics were rough, uncivilized brutes, unworthy of being considered “Romans” and more akin to the Germanic tribes that overwhelmed the Western half centuries ago (though to be fair they weren’t entirely lying about that last part). And that is not even getting into the countless conflicts between Crusaders and Byzantines because I’d be here all day.

It’s inconvenient to point that the Crusader states were often in a very fragile state and requesting aid from Europe, since after the First Crusade was successful, many Europeans returned home and very few capable people were left to manage it. Yeah, yeah, we have better things to do so hold tight, m8s. This reality shIts all over the commitment that Christians had in solidarity for their co-religionalists. So Crusade apologists need to be careful in framing these campaigns as motivated by that motive.

There Were Actual Defensive Crusades

The real irony is that they existed after the period even if we don’t traditionally associate with them. the Fall of Constantinople heralded a new chapter in the war between the Cross and the Crescent with the Ottoman Empire beginning an expansion campaign rivaling that of the ancient Umayyads. Even before the city fell, the Ottomans had already consumed chunks of the Balkans including the entirety of Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia and Wallachia. Even though the Crusades to retake the Holy Land fell out of fashion by the time of their rise, the situation now changed - the enemies were right at the door instead of thousands of miles in faraway lands and the Byzantine bulwark that withstood for 1000 years is no more.

This time there would be no bullshitting - Catholics and Orthodox would have to cooperate again to deal with the Ottoman dragon and there was no time for squabbling. Cooperation was increased with Albanian Catholics and Orthodox setting aside religious differences and form the League of Lezhe, Pope Pius II interacting with Wallachian Orthodox ruler Vlad III Dracula and Catholic king Matthias Corvinus lending his Black Army to Moldavian prince Stephen III to triumph against the Ottomans at Vaslui. There were officially sanctioned Crusades like the Crusade of Varna and the Crusade of Nicopolis, but they were major Islamic victories over the Christians. 

There can be no denying that the Christian campaigns (whether they were Catholic and Orthodox) against the Ottomans were defensive and fit the conventional understanding of a crusade, whether it’s a military campaign sanctioned by the Pope or simply any war waged by Christians. The reason why the Balkans are ignored is because the Holy Land Crusades are the more lasting ones in the modern public consciousness and still believed to be the cause of many political problems today between the West and the Islamic world (which is rich, since the latter never gave a flying shit about the Crusades until they were on the receiving end of colonialism for a change). Other factors can be accounted like the Protestant Reformation taking everyone’s else attention and being more comparatively significant and that these particular wars were not for people’s souls, but for their lives, their lands and loved ones.

So to my fellow apologists: be careful when you say “the Crusades were defensive wars” because if the other side is more knowledgeable than you, they are going to take up to task and debate you if they can. You need to be prepared to acknowledge the little subtleties of history and remember that the current “bro” relationship between Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy was not the same as it was for medieval times, let alone was a motive for the Crusades because one side viewed the other as f*gg*ts and the latter viewed the former as brainlet cavemen. And more importantly, educate yourself about the wars in the Balkans and Eastern Europe which is surely a fun subject to study since many historical legends emerged from this period like Saint Stephen, Vlad the Impaler, Skanderbeg and John Hunyadi. 

They were all crusaders but you didn’t knew about it.

“FUSION ISN’T A METAPHOR FOR SEX/RELATIONSHIPS, REBECCA NEVER SAID THAT STOP HATING THINGS”

There was a whole-ass episode about consent and coercion/rape and it was about Pearl tricking Garnet into fusing for her own gratification. Keystone Motel was pretty much the very next episode after that one and Ruby and Sapphire were legitimately upset that someone they care about so much would betray their trust and force intimacy on them they didn’t want like that.

You can be fine with Steven fusing with parental figures, just admit that Rebecca has her fusion narrative all fucked up, primarily because she chases after every fanservice-y idea that crosses her skull without checking to see if it fits into the story and themes she’s established so far.

Some of y’all brainlet SU fans are sending me anon hate because I’m criticizing a show you base all of your personality traits and interests on and implying repeatedly that I do it because I just like hating shit.

Literally anyone who knows me in any way is aware that I used to be a serious fan of the series before it started showing its true colors. I’m mad precisely BECAUSE I cared so much. Look at all this fucking fanart I’ve drawn in the past.

If SU wasn’t racist, borderline pedophilic and fascist-bootlicky I would still like it. But that’s not the route the show went down, now is it

“OMG PLZ dun maek the movie PG-13! Make it R! Make it NC-17!”

You bunch of galloping jackasses. That movie is going to be PG/PG-13. There is fuck all in FNaF that would warrant an R+ rating, and NC-17 is a forced direct-to-video release. They don’t show those in mainstream theaters. Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th were all R at max with everything they showed. FNaF will not be showing that much. It’s GOING to be PG-13.

That’s the age range that gives a shit about this series, anyway. Tweens. In order for something like FNaF to catch R, a character has to shout “FUCK!” over 40 times within the span of 2 minutes while stripping down buck naked, nips/cock out. You tell me if Scott would put that in just for your shitty edgelord rating. I guess Monster House should have been rated R because it discussed a woman dying by falling off some scaffolding and getting sealed alive in concrete.

I’m sorry, I can’t wrap my head around this fandom wanting the movie to get rated so high that 70% of them can’t get in to see it. Brainlets. If they’re worried about the film bombing, it was going to bomb anyway. It’s YA horror based on a video game. It’s already sealed itself away as niche, to say nothing of the development hell and lack of affordable, fully developed robotic technology needed for the core concept.

Well, that was, uhhhhh, something. Honestly I’m having a hard time figuring out how to feel about it. I know saying that Eva was a ripoff of Ideon is a brainlet take but this movie felt really reminiscent of End of Evangelion to me, with the general air of tragic violence and despair giving way to a visually flamboyant mindfuck ending. Honestly, as pretty as EoE was, I didn’t really like it. While I think this, on the other hand, was far better than the garbage train-crash ending that we got in the final episode of Ideon’s TV series, I’m not really sure if I liked this either. I think Tomino rode a pretty fine line when it came to how grim the TV series was, whereas this just barged right over that line to deliver some of the most trauma-inducing scenes I’ve seen in a mecha series alongside a genuinely despair-inducing plotline, and I’m having a hard time deciding whether that was a good or a bad thing. I’m also wondering if the message I took on board from that strange ending sequence is what I was supposed to take on - I feel like it’s meant to be hopeful and beautiful, but I just can’t detach it from the nightmarish circumstances that led to it. Viewing it through the lens that I had just twisted it into something almost horrifying for me. Although, then again, that could have been the point, given that the entire premise of the series seems to be taken right out of a cosmic horror story. When Tomino’s involved, it’s sometimes hard to decide if I’m giving him too much or too little credit, and I’ve never felt that indecision harder than I have with this.

I might make a fuller review post on this, and the TV series in general, later once I’ve gathered my thoughts on it. If nothing else I’ll say that despite going through a fairly weak, meandering spell in the early-middle portions, it rallies through from episode 20 or so of the TV show through to the end of this to deliver something really memorable. While I, personally, am not entirely sold on Ideon’s brand of darkness yet, I feel like if you are the kind of person who derives satisfaction from dark stories then this entire thing is probably one you shouldn’t miss. While sometimes the presentation of the TV show is a mixed bag, and the mechanical design in general wasn’t exactly my favourite, the movie more than makes up for it. While I doubt that this is gonna overtake Gundam or Dunbine for me, it belongs in the same breadth.

For now though, I’m content to move onto something new. Maybe that’ll help clear my head a bit.
