changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

#this is the sort of observation I make here that people #go off and write their thesis about #so while I’m not expecting to be the first or cleverest person to say this #if you do use it as a springboard #tell me if you get a good grade ok? #I’ll be tremendously proud of you #like if you take a shitpost and use it to craft deep attentive thought on something important #I just think that’s probably the most noble use of a human brain #it makes me want to take off my hat and slam it to the ground in inexpressible emotion #it’s a cowboy hat btw #and I say something like GOLDURN IT THAT KID SURE HAS DELIVERED. #ok so don’t deny me this #especially if you correct me after a long research journey #GOLDURN IT THE KID IS RIGHT!

playing a new game where i talk about fandom using words that belong on corporate powerpoint slides like:

✨ we have to align our headcanons to authentically reflect our strategic mission and meet quarterly margin objectives ✨

sorry to everyone who understood that

#translation: 'everyone should agree with my obviously correct takes so there will be more fic i like in the tag' #add something about the ability to 'quickly pivot in response to changing market trends' if it's a fandom with actively airing canon

ppl follow black creators expecting them to give them the perfect correct takes on black issues and then sees their favorite black creators disagreeing and go BWWUUUHHH?? as if they didn’t realize they’re all individual ppl with different experiences and viewpoints ._.

#'w-'well all of these black creators i follow dont agree on this issue!!!' #'how am i supposed to know whats the correctes most goodest take now????' #idk maybe follow ppl for their content and bc you like them for who they are instead of leeching off of other ppls viewpoints #so you never have to have a critical thought or original opinion in your fuckin life #what are you so scared of? being wrong sometimes? grow up and face ppl when you're wrong. #sometimes theres shit you can only learn about by being wrong. you have to be open to the idea that you aren't always going to know #The Correct Take #and sometimes the only way to know that is to be wrong in an actual conversation and be corrected. #not sit there and pray your favorite creators make a video about it 🙄 #generally: the correct take is whatever does the least harm and benefits everyone as much as possible. #at least thats imo #stop following x minority to get x takes about their specific x issues #and maybe follow them for more than whatever they can tell you about how they feel about being x minority and all things surrounding that #like DO YOU EVEN KNOW THEIR FAVORITE TV SHOW? DO YOU EVEN KNOW ANY OF THEIR OPINIONS OUTSIDE OF THE ONES #THEY HAVE ON THEIR MINORITY STATUS? jfc #it just seems kinda dehumanizing. #id hate if someone was following me JUST to hear my atkes on trans shit. like tell me you dont care about me as a person w/o saying it lol #the reason i bring up black creators specifically is bc i feel like it happens more to them and it looks specificvally worse #as someone on the outside- ik i cant speak for them all- but how it looks to me is people treat balck creators (and poc creators in general #tbh) way less personabley and way more distant and professional with them. as if they're only there for the info and then just to leave #its weird #you dont wanna stick around and get to know them at all..? in any capacity.....? #idk

Trans women are touched by the divine and you can taste it on them. You should try. You should get yourself an entire goddamn mouthful.

Sans do you ever feel that something might be missing?

Maybe he felt like that at some point, maybe for a long time. In the present, I think he's made some kind of peace with it.

Also, I really like the ask blog format, but I don't really mean this to be an ask blog.

So when writing questions, try to refer them to me instead of the characters. That way, they don't have to break the fourth wall lmao. I really wanted to answer this one tho

i really am annoyed by people’s analysis of the scene with the old woman in barbie being that barbie finds her beautiful because she was never taught aging isn’t beautiful when she LITERALLY hated cellulite on sight and was disgusted by it and is going to the real world so that she DOESN’T age or change. it’s the exact same way people talked abt that enchanted gifset on here for years (you know the one). the scene where barbie tells the woman she’s beautiful comes immediately after she has seen humanity in its mundanity, in its highs and its lows and she is so moved by how much someone can feel when they are not living in a candy-coated dream world and when she sees the older woman she has a realization that if she wants this, she has to want all of it, and it is so worth it. she can get rid of the cellulite and the wrinkles and go back to being pretty and pink and perfect but now that she has seen how beautiful and terrible it can be to be human she can’t say no to that, and the proof of living a long and worthwhile life is beautiful to her.

#i don’t think i have the only correct take on this but this specific analysis is so incorrect based on like. the facts of the movie. #barbie #barbie spoilers

Something I really don't understand is this obsession the anti-Israel crowd (in the West) have with death and martyrdom. All they care about is dying, and often killing for their cause; I see nothing about building a better future that isn't based on the murder of 9 million Israelis.

It's easy to die for a cause. The challenge is living to make a better tomorrow.

#jumblr #antisemitism #i/p #killing yourself and others does nothing to promote peace. frankly killing others is just terrorism in this scenario #if you want peace then you should be workng with jews and israelis #deal with antisemitism islamophobia and the rot in the knesset to move towards a two state solution #anything other than a two state solution is discrimination and death #dying for your cause is not cute or progressive. its lazy because you didnt want to put in the effort to do real work moving forwards #jews are 0.2 of the worlds population. if you refuse to engage with them you are the problem #majority voice doesnt mean correct. it just means loud #if your voice is leading to people killing themselves then you need to take a long hard look in a mirror

*white knuckling the bathroom sink* do NOT infodump ppl about the fact that the first spn fic was a wincest one and that it was posted mere hours after the pilot and that the founder of ao3 was a wincestie and that the first fic on ao3 was wincest too and that the omegaverse as we know it was created by wincest shippers for jared/jensen fics *pointing at myself in the mirror with a shaky hand* ppl will think you're weird and off-putting you need to control yourself–

There is a platonic explanation for all this. Right?

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #[accidental kiss] is a purposeful misspelling to reference an old meme. I will blast anyone who tries to correct me with the crunchiest png #The kiss looks like wwx is biting lwj's cheek....It *does* have the consistency of a soft marshmallow so he's not in the wrong. #Once again: wwx was never *ever* oblivious to the implications of the situation. On the contrary: this entire scene + the prior shows- #that he very much understands that this looks gay to the viewers. #He just doesn't think its possible to be loved like that. *Especially not by Lan Zhan.* #Do people forget that LWJ had 13 years to process his feelings VS WWX's (give or take) week? #This is the moment he realizes wwx has feelings and he HATES HIMSELF FOR IT. He feels like he's betraying lwj's trust! #The demi feeling of having spent so long in a comfortable platonic relationship and then getting struck by the 'oh shit' moment. #Its not a soft 'Oh' - Its a 'Oh god they are going to hate me and I can't bear that. I need to be so normal about this or else'. #Pour one out for all of us who've had to go through the trials of trying to conceal the painful realization of deeper affections. #Anyway. *both* lwj and wwx fall in love kicking and screaming and miserable and clawing at the walls about it. #Continuity acknowledgement: wwx's hands are unbound at this point but I had a hellish time with blocking and this was a bit easier.
