Yeah. Like, I'd guess Jonah Magnus to be from a well to do family because he's able to spend his time studying the occult rather than, like, shodding shoes or what have you. The man was from the leisure class.

And the Bouchard family clearly has money. I'd guess inherited property/money but not a title, the same as Gerry's family. And the family has probably had involvement in various capitalist ventures over the decades.

But original generation Elias Bouchard (and Gwen in the sequel) both get actual entry level positions as part of their careers. They expect to advance quickly based on their family name, but that makes me think millionaire, not billionaire. (And that's different than using parental money to start or buy a company they run a la Elon Musk.)

And the Institute is a money pit. Jonah's motivations are in the occult; money's just a means to an ends there. He's a high priest posing as an academic, not a captain of industry.

In fact, I'll better that there are, like, Bouchard cousins pissed all the way off that the childless, unmarried "Elias" has been pissing the family wealth away on a passion project rather than thinking of what his heirs (his cousin's eldest) will inherit when he dies.

tma fans have the collective literacy of a peanut you bitches honest to god think the guy who has to beg on his hands and knees for donations to run his non profit academic institute of the occult is somehow an elon musk allegory? are you stupid? do you have worms in your brains? do you know what an institute IS?

Learned today that all the voices in Malevolent are all just one guy.

*flabbergasted reaction image*

Y'all, there are some absurdly talented people in this world out there making obscure passion projects.

Anyway, you should go listen to Malevolent, which I was until today convinced had two lead voice actors and an impressive selection of guest voice actors.

*takes your hand* rapists don’t get punished in this country; most of the Terrible People you think should be “Locked Away Forever” won’t be. Prisons are stuffed with desperate poor people and people of color for things like Having Weed and Robbing a Gas Station Because They Were Desperate for Money or Being an Addict or, and this one’s my favorite, Being Black and at the Wrong Place and at the Wrong Time. Prison is a Farce; you’re not being protected from Bad People like the government wants you to believe, like use your brain and think about all the free labor prisons are getting out of these Black and brown men …

I feel like the root problem of american tankies' shallow ideals is redirected american exceptionalism. Internet and globalization has caused them to realize that that they're not in fact the best country in the world as school etc has told them. But instead of understanding that they have problems just like the rest of us (though tbf, their ability to cause other nations harm is unmatched) they now flipped to saying that the us must be the worst country in the entire world and the source of all evil. They cannot comprehend that non-americans are perfectly capable of doing the most heinous shit and thus assume that behind every war or conflict lies a us conspiracy and influence - because surely non-americans are just so innocent, naive and primitive and unlike americans lack the cunning to advance their political goals without help by the US. The fact that not only the US government but also its enemies can be vile at the same time and that sometimes they can even be on the good side is completely beyond them which is why they are never truly against imperialism, genocide or opression unless it is done by americans or their allies.

Upon reflection: Alice Isn't Dead should have been a stage play. 2-3 hours with an intermission, heavy focus on the character work and the central relationship. Everything else is window dressing, but in a stage play, I think it would be fine if it was window dressing.

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes
