#Prophetic saying

I feel the need to periodically remind people that Idiocracy is a eugenics movie.

One of the things that eugenicists believe is that it is bad for society when the “wrong people” breed.

The entire premise of the movie is that “stupid people” kept having kids while “smart people” didn’t have kids, and it ruined society because stupid genes propagated while smart genes died out. This is eugenics propaganda.

I know people will read this and their response will be “actually it’s satire” but the movie isn’t satirizing eugenics. It’s satirizing anti-intellectualism, and consumerism, and it proposes eugenics as a solution.

When eugenics was first conceived, it was used as a way to justify inequality. The idea was that people who held privilege were able to do so because they were smarter and genetically superior to lazy and stupid people who don’t have privilege. Obviously this is bad and wrong, but it is also the core lesson of Idiocracy.

The movie literally ends with the main character becoming president and having “the smartest children in the world.” Because he and his wife have smarter genes than everyone else. The proposed solution for the things that Idiocracy is satirizing is for the smart people to have children that can be in charge of the world.

I know it’s fun to use this movie to dunk on anti-intellectualism and the MAGA movement, but we need to stop. When you quote and reference this movie you are spreading eugenics propaganda.

#remember yall #eugenics is bad #and anything that says a certain type of person shouldn’t have kids is probably eugenics #even if they don’t realize it #so let’s stop holding this movie up as some great prophetic work #because it’s not #also good lord they say the r word a lot in that movie #and it’s super gross #ugh I hate this movie

oh my god hear me out okay. byler au where they haven't seen each other in years since the gates were closed, they've moved on with their lives, etc etc. will never came out to mike or confessed his feelings, mike didn't realize he was queer until he was older (btw this is only for the purposes of this au . this is Not how i see it working in the show with him.) both of them are making valiant efforts to pursue relationships, though and failing so of course. they're on the same dating site. looking for people to go out with.

and of course. said dating site matches them and they start talking without having seen each others' faces. and, after talking for a while, they agree to meet in person. For A Real Date (disregarding how unsafe this is okay. but if i had to guess they let someone know where they were going in case things go to shit.)

cue them walking into the restaurant or wherever and seeing each other and hugging and being like oh!!! i haven't seen you in so long ☹️☹️☹️☹️ why ru here???? and after talking for a while. They Realize.

They Are Both Here For A Blind Date. and that blind date is each other.

oh, fuck.

i loved the part of the book where piranesi resolves to take better care of himself while he's rediscovering his own history. he just has so much compassion for himself! the journal upsets him so he takes a week off and does things he enjoys and then he settles into a safe place when he wants to tackle the subject again. and he doesn't believe The Other when he's told about his amnesia! he values his own insights and his own knowledge of the House even when fucking ketterley is actively trying to undermine his sense of self. piranesi's gentle treatment of himself and the person he used to be is genuinely so moving.

#piranesi #i could go on about his recounting of the times he let himself go hungry and made stupid decisions #but there's nothing in the way of self-recrimination #he just says: #i didn't know then what i know know and i would do things differently #he stands up for himself when he's talking to raphael too even though he likes her #obvs he's got oodles of compassion for other people too #he takes care of the dead. he gives nesting material to the albatrosses. he leaves the herring gulls alone before retrieving the paper #he enters the scary room for The Other. he warns sixteen about the flood. he blesses the prophet #(who does not fucking deserve it) #he writes directions to the statue #even when he comes back he goes and finds poor james ritter #but it's the self compassion that touches me the most

With the boys resolving to bring Prophet out more often I was just thinking about whether he'd get along with the Beanitos... they'll grow up around magic and would not be as off-put by the Prophet's vibes as Beans was initially, and while I don't think he would be particularly taken with cats, he'd be more friendly to these little ones than Sammy, and they'd quickly learn to tell the two apart.

AND THEN I THOUGHT WAY TOO MUCH about Prophet's own experiences with the "love" and "care" of a higher being....

(transcript under the cut)

[Prophet eating a sandwich, looks at a grown-up Lentils yelling "meow meow meow meow" from the floor]

Prophet: [drops the sandwich on the ground] There you are... Jack: asdljklgsdf Sam!!

[Jack pulling the sandwich out of Lentils' mouth] Jack: Lentils no,,, Lentils: MRRRRR

[Jack holding the slightly perforated sandwich up where Lentils can't reach it] Jack: Sorry, you can't give her a whole sandwich. It's bad for her. Lentils: Mow! meow meow meow meow Prophet: She does not understand why you deprive her...

Jack: Yeah... Jack: [reassuring a protesting Lentils] I know, I know, I'm sorry, you caught it fair and square. Jack: Cats can't understand us. But I just, uh, don't want her to get sick.

[Prophet holds out his hand for Lentils to sniff] Prophet: ...and if you could grant this little one understanding - will you?

[Prophet gives Lentils scritches, Lentils purrs happily] Prophet: Will you open its mind? Prophet: Can it hold the vastness of our world inside, and see how you had chosen it? Prophet: Will it feel your love in full, know it wasn't deprived?

Prophet: ...or was it too much, that love? [Jack looks up at Prophet, horrified] Prophet: Did it hurt to comprehend? Prophet: Was it happier, to understand your words?

Prophet: Or does it break...?

no matter how many times she explains it I don't think me and Cassandra Clare will ever be in agreement about James and Lucie losing their powers. like its just not a satisfactory explanation to me im sorry

#her comparing it to the endarked & warlock's spells while also says Belial had no actual influence over them developing powers #in the same ask.... okay #like the relationship between Sebastian and the endarked was that he created them! he influenced them! #he was overriding their free will with his will like. them dying with him made sense #same with warlocks & their spells there's a very specific creator -> creation dynamic here #that is not comparable to James & Lucie relationship to Belial #maybe me and cc just categorize them differently bc to me theyre more like Sebastian & lilith or Jace clary & ithural #*ithuriel #like!! when ithuriel dies Jace & Clary do not lose their powers that are a product of them being born with his powers #*blood #BUT clary does lose her prophetic dreams that are established as being given to her by ithuriel #theres an established difference between the two!!!! James and Lucie should not have lost their powers I'll stand by that till I die #bella talks #james herondale #lucie herondale #cassandra clare #chain of thorns #the last hours #tlh

The problem with discord is that it's the "bringing someone to a secondary location" of the internet

#the prophet speaks #i say this as i am in multiple discord servers #im just more heistant to join thess days #and also Official Discords shouldnt exist and ill die on that hill

Maria Di Angelo takes her children on a trip to Roma. She shows them the monuments and the statues of the stories she has always told them. They stop in front of an imposing marble statue, and she explains :

"He is the ruler of the Underworld, where the dead go. It sounds scary, but he is rightful and commit to his responsibilities. The Romans called him Pluto, but before that he had another name..."

She crouches down to get to her children's level.

Maria stares into the statue's white eyes as her children press closer to her, and she whispers just loud enough for them to hear her.

"... Hades."

thinking about the relationship between mightily oats' "the worthwhile [words] don't burn" and constable dorfl's "the words in the heart cannot be taken"

#especially the journey both of them had to go through to get to the point of saying that. like the whole of carpe jugulum oats was so TORN #and before that too about what words could you believe and who could you really trust on their word about om and the prophets and he went #out of his way to look up records disproving what the book of om said bc he KNEW nothing they said could be believed and just all the pain #and all that doubt he went thru and the part where he questioned om's 'infinite compassion' as he prayed bc really what compassion? #how many people prayed at the stake just like he was doing in that moment? how many people had to live with the silence of their god just #like he did? but still when his book of om – that he clung to the whole book for reassurance – burned he said the worthily words don't burn #the worthily words are in the heart and in the mind and not feed into his mouth by old man who just #made things up to justify their actions. he had all the words he needded the whole time and holiness was always all around him. he just had #to look #and dorfl being created with words in his head that dictated his every move . words that chained him. then he and the other golems created #'king' for themselves in the hope he'd lead them to freedom but they put too many words in his head and he failed and carrot gave dorfl his #own freedom and his own words and that lead to dorfl destroying his well child basically and destroying himself in the process but the word #in his heart his OWN words remained and they were able to rebuilt him and vimes give him a voice and his words and belief remained in him b #they were always his #god. sorry for the ramble im severally unwell about them #mightily oats #constable dorfl #carpe jugulum #feet of clay #gnu terry pratchett #discworld
