"Coriolanus x Reader", huh...?

Of all the lessons that Suzanne Collins wanted to teach you about good governance, dictatorships, and not treating human beings as being anything less than freaking human...that is the takeaway you go for...?

Well, well, well...some of us truly have never, or possibly will never, have to deal with the creeping horror that our lives are at risk; the lives of our children and their children and everyone else's children are at risk; that all the freedoms we enjoyed could quite literally go up in smoke; and that some people could easily give it all away for power...and boy, does it show.

On today's episode of Holy Shit My Childhood Was Not Normal:

Kurtis Conner being thrown off by the girls'/boys' bibles with the random "Dream Girl" and "Grossology" passages and shit like that in them

#I didn't have that exact one but I had a girls' bible with the lil dream girl passages in them #mine was purple and green #There was a specific one I read over and over because it was about thinking about your best friend #and I thought about my best friend that way #except it wasn't actually in a friend way I flat out just had a crush on them lol #I later went on to id as a lesbian and that specific story made helped me realize it #so maybe that bible was good for something #I'm now a lil bi boy who might be ace but still #Im 21 now actually Im a Man in the U.S. /j #it's just #always so funny watching people remind me that I grew up Not Normally #like I genuinely got so into reading those lil bible dream girl passages #but I also preferred the gross out shit of the boys' one #cause I was one of those cartoon network poop fart joke funny tweenagers #I loved gaming stunts and all things gross or whatever #I wasn't allowed to actually do that because I was a lil lady so I enjoy it now #I tell people I'm going to shit their pants if they don't leave me alone and think I'm the funniest human alive #anyways go watch kurtis's new video about gendered products it's good #ex christian #religious trauma

Lolbit was designed by Michael Afton as a teenager to be a member of Foxy’s crew, but, unlike their captain, wasn’t used by the company. She went through multiple design iterations over the years before Fazbear Entertainment- under new ownership- purchased the character. They appeared in various media created by the companies- primarily comics and games- but still never appeared as an animatronic within any location. 

Rather than his initial concept as a member of Foxy’s crew, Lolbit appeared as an antagonist in early media, usually rivaling Foxy, and later in a more neutral role as a travelling merchant, happy to sell their mechanical creations to friend and foe of the Fazbear band alike. The character is immensely popular among fans of the franchise, leading some to believe an animatronic debut is bound to happen eventually. Only time will tell. 

#box art #fnaf #lolbit #the little guys around them are from fnaf world! #i imagine some elements of fnaf world appear in comics/games #which i mean they had a cartoon #i imagine freddy's is like a significantly more popular chuck e cheese. #lots of locations in the U.S and some outside of it. #in the grand scope of things the murders and stuff havent done much to the company bc its only a few locations #in utah that had any issues. the rest are like. normal. #I have a lot of thoughts about the fazbear company and the 'characters' of the animatronics within shows/comics/etc

like there are some people out there that are so blinded by this contrarian argumentation that they genuinely believe russia has a radically different economic model from america.

and this is something that prevents them from actually understanding the world in a straight manner. not only do they ignore that what russia is doing is imperialist (even when we all agree that they didn't start the WAR), they also ignore the genuine possibility that russia can be imperialist to begin with

#like they think the u.s. disappearing is where everything ends #russia will not take advantage of the power vacuum to expand. no sir. they will allow themselves and their businesses to shrivel up #and disappear. like this is all a game

U.S. audiences enjoy survival horror stories with Asians in Asia, like Squid Game and Battle Royale. But they don’t want to acknowledge that Asian Americans’ lived reality is a survival horror too.

I have mixed feelings about Squid Game's success. I enjoy the survival horror genre as both a writer and consumer, but seeing how non-Asian U.S. audiences reacted to it in the midst of violent anti-Asian hate crimes left me wondering about the reason for the show's U.S. appeal.

Violence against Asians—particularly when done en masse—is so normalized that I wonder if this type of media provides catharsis to racists. News of hate crimes might briefly force them to feel guilty, but when they see fictional violence against Asians, they can cheer for it. It's as if it evokes the imagery Americans are most familiar with: slaughtering Asians by the dozens or even thousands, a legacy of numerous U.S. wars in Asia. The victims are nameless and unimportant. They're just a statistic, a plot point. One more to add to the body count.

Also, the U.S. loves using Asians in Asia as media replacements for AsAms. It simultaneously reinforces Asians as perpetual foreigners, and prevents giving a microphone to the type of Asian American who would unflinchingly discuss anti-Asian racism and challenge the status quo.

Asian men especially are seen as disposable targets with no humanity and no purpose other than to be mocked and slaughtered on screen. Deadpool, Daredevil, Avengers, Bullet Train, Kill Bill, etc. feature scenes where a protagonist cuts down hordes of Asian men in seconds.

This has real-life consequences. Hate crimes against AAPI men have been purposely belittled, hidden, and ignored—even in media narratives that purport to draw attention to anti-Asian racism. It becomes a feedback loop that double-victimizes AAPI men. (see my data thread)

The hatred of Asian men is so normalized that in AsAm spaces the only acceptable Asian male victim to publicly mention is Vincent Chin, who was murdered 40 years ago. There have been many Vincent Chins since then. But victims get reduced to headlines like "killed over duck sauce.”

Instead, when anti-Asian hate crimes are discussed, it's limited to a narrow range of experience, privileging East Asian women over pretty much all other Asians. This erasure is harmful on many levels and has still not been corrected or even acknowledged. (see my data thread)

I think many AsAms feel like Asian Twitter recently died. But for me, it died several years ago, when Asians with media power decided that all of this harm and imbalance was not only normal, but good. Our community has been broken for a long time. They don't want to fix it.

So does this mean Squid Game, Battle Royale, etc. are bad stories? No. It means we need better real-life conversations and efforts to understand what anti-Asian racism is and how to fix it. Survival horror is a fun thought experiment—until you realize you're living in one.

...It would seem that, as of this morning, a ton of proverbial twisted, rotting chickens are coming home to roost.

In other words, war and tyranny are simultaneously harming countless innocents on the news channels...but social media influencers ALSO insist that "Tyranny Is Sexy", and so we obviously need more of it as opposed to less.

Funny old world, ain't it...?

wanting to write a story out of a dream I had but it's really just american "battle royale"

#ljke my dream was college students on a school on an island for some spring or summer break study thing #and it starts off as like oh what if we did a weeklong game of manhunt/assassin to pass the time between academic stuff ^_^ #and it very quickly devolves into murder. idk I could make some social commentary out of it there's plenty there #the american desensitization to violence and murder. at the end the killings aren't even huge news it's just treated as another day #in the u.s. of a. <- said like trevor singing his totally gay for america song. I'm totally gay for the u.s. of a... #anyway. probably other stuff about how violence is viewed through different economic and social classes. what people decide is #a killable offense weird systems of justice and I've just reinvented part of danganronpa despite never playing the games FUCK MEEE #head in hands. well I'll try to make something anyway

Shout out to the pwhl for not ruining my sleep schedule

#this is a very specific dig at the gold cup #because why are all the U.S. group stage games at 10:15 #and none of them on the weekend #not to mention Argentina is east of New York #so it sucks for most of the countries #I will not let the west coast favoritism in U.S. women’s soccer go
