i was meant to be writing but instead i watched a 3 and a half hour long video about how to be a responsible artist by a wine aunt.

Okay but as a certified video essay GIRLIE (gender neutral) with a special niche interest in christianity, (mostly focusing on US based movements and their relationship with white supremacy, capitalism, and focus on literalism)

THIS IS A MUST WATCH.

Biz is your best friend with a little beverage and a few cozy outfit changes sitting you down to info dump the most ACCESSIBLE analysis of these pieces of media using theology, history, biblical text, and any other medium you can think of. There is no deep understanding of Christianity (biblical or historical) needed to engage with this piece and still understand the deep rabbit hole provided to jump down. cannot recommend enough!!!!

and if you don’t take my word for it, take Mike Flanagan’s (Midnight Mass creator)

#yes i know midnight mass is not based in the US and it is catholic v evangelism it still fascinated my niche religious interest #yes that is really Mike he also retweeted it on his twitter #biz barclay #video essay #mike flanagan #gods not dead #midnight mass #boybff #image described #boybff tag #jaxcore #Youtube

Throwing out a random YouTube video rec, but this youtuber does not get nearly enough attention imo. If you enjoy philosophical video essays about religion (specifically Catholicism and American evangelical movies), Nietzsche, media analysis, and a sprinkling of vampires, all delivered by a woman with fierce wine aunt energy, this may be for you.

The Snapewives video is also very good and actually respectful of the women involved, and by far the kindest and most academic discussion of everything that particular bit of fandom history I've found. Some interesting discussions about kink as well.

Also, I confess: the amount of thigh on display short-circuited my brain a little.

a complete guide to Kyle XY

Well, this unlocked a core memory, sort of. I've never actually seen the show but definitely grew up watching advertisements of it and I actually listened to the podcast last year, but hey, now there's a retrospective! And by one of my favorite content creators, no less!

Burn the House Down Playlists: The Arsonist

Whoops, forgot one of the playlists!

Everyone say hello to The Arsonist. I'm not going to spoil who it is, but this is the person who did the Thing. They burned the house down. Basically, a lot of songs about fire and burning things down. Very much a vibe.

screencaps and conclusion from understanding snapewives: religion, fandom, sociology & erotica - biz barclay (2022)

we're small. we are so small. we are so small and we are so alone. trapped in these miserable flesh sacks just screaming out our retinas and all the faces and all the holes that we can find just to desperately desperately try and connect with people.

derrida says that religion circulates in the world, it imposes itself in a particularly palpable manner within the conceptual apparatus of international law and global political rhetoric. the SHIT'S EVERYWHERE, of COURSE it's gonna make its way onto the internet, of COURSE it's gonna make its way into fiction, it is a phenomenon born out of people feeling shit at the same time! of COURSE there's no natural boundary to it; it's chaos theory, it's religion, it's the internet, it's people, it's all fucking chaos. writing off the snapewives as some kind of "top ten wildest crazy shit to happen on the internet psycho women" does a disservice to you, it does a disservice to me, it does a disservice to those women, and it does a disservice to the study of human behavior.

we are just a bunch of lonely human consciousnesses locked in these tiny human boxes being kicked and poked and shoved into this twisted capitalist consumer bot powered on gluttony and hope and just getting railed to death by a wolf in art's clothing. this mysterious ghost-like fairy god figure that feels like a physical thing but is really just a series of rapidly disintegrating numbers and hex codes and signals shooting off back and forth into space infinitely which is like for FUCKING EVER infinitely and this imaginative infinity gives us access to each other all the time the constant build up the constant excitement the discussion the social bonding everything about the traditional fandom experience, all the catharsis, all the moral harmony of group events and shared identity, all of it, just compressed, down to the minute, a cycle, exponentially increasing because you keep getting desensitized to it, so you have to keep upping the ante, you have to keep putting more and more and more passion in, passion begets passion! more passion, more love! more friends! more feelings! more and more and passion begets passion, you keep ramping it up and ramping it up it's like god and drugs all at the same time and WHO WOULDN'T GET OFF ON THAT?

#this video is a masterpiece #idk i just feel like posting about it #if you're into uh. thinking really hard about stuff #esp fandom stuff #holy shit. #highly recommend #video essays #biz barclay

to my midnight mass girlies (gender neutral):

the woman who did the SUPER DEEP analysis of the snapewives also did a video on midnight mass and other significant religious media in recent popculture. highly recommend both!
