hey so genuine question here, I saw that post abt sirius. do you actually dislike jude and zar or is it just for funny internets? also if you don't like them, why? I'm new to the Tumblr marauders community so I'm just curious
dislike is such a simple word. jude + zar are like that one couple in high school who are always kissing with tongue in the hallway and i'm the beleaguered student whose locker is right behind them going guys.....hey um....hey guys can i--can i just--
they are two tiny bugs who i found dancing under a teacup in my kitchen one night and i've been putting out traps to try and kill them but they won't die so i bought a microscope + i'm trapping them in a little glass jar 2 study
they are like if i ordered an uber to get 2 my Very Important Meeting and two circus clowns pulled up in the world's tiniest car and before i could speak they yanked me inside and now i'm crushed in the backseat and one is driving in endless circles while the other pulls multicolored scarves out of their mouth and im crying begging them to stop but their jaw is unhinged and scarves just keep coming out
hopefully that clears things up! <3

i really enjoyed no country for old men (2007) and the way it reframes violence and lawlessness. in the film noir and western genres, the genres on which the film strongly draws, violence is generally portrayed as a broad but recent perversion of society, which stands separate from and in conflict with the american dream. this film, however, frames the horrible, dead-faced violence that drives the plot forward as the very foundation upon which america and the american dream are built. the film invokes and intertwines hunting, livestock agriculture, the vietnam war, and the violence with native americans and mexicans demanded by white americans’ colonial project. all four of these are considered foundations of american culture and especially of american masculinity culture; all are grotesquely violent, blended into the background as they may be, and the nonstop apathetic violence does not stem from a state of becoming blood simple as shown in the coen brothers film of the same name, but rather from the long cultural history of violence that allows the characters to shift responsibility for violence outside of themself. this is what makes carla jean’s ultimate refusal to call anton chigurh’s coin toss so powerful. chigurh speaks circles around his violence, his rhetoric forcing characters to accept the violence enacted against them without him having to actually threaten any violence, and as such absolving him of the act before it is done. playing his coin toss game, putting up your own life on the line in order to gamble for it, implies that it is acceptable for you to die if you lose, because those are the rules of the game. that is the way things are. ed tom bell’s great uncle stole native americans’ land and was killed by them for it, llewelyn moss still mexicans’ money and was killed by them for it, and violence and the violence it begets is just the way things are. but carla jean’s refusal to play forces a space outside of the rules and traditions that have the administration and acceptance of violence so deeply woven into them. the refusal does not save her, but it forces chigurh and the audience to see the rules for what they are. the loose and ragged ending of this film does not imply, the way the cathartic, last-man-standing structure of many noirs and westerns does, that the good men with guns have wiped out the bad men with guns in a brutal but necessary slaughter to end all slaughters, after which all violence will cease. there is no catharsis in this film. there is no payoff to obeying the rules and structures that demand the infliction violence. in its weighing of destiny and free will in the wild, rule-following west, no country for old men (2007) concludes that it is the worst of all worlds: people always have a choice, they just don’t let themselves see any option but the cruelest one

"You've heard of Lucifer, yes?" Mihawk broke the silence, drawing Sybil's attention away from her book.
"Of course. He's the King of Hell. God's former favorite. What about him?" She humored her soon-to-be spouse, a hint of laughter held within her tone.
Mihawk hesitated, brows furrowing as they neared the Gates of Justice. Marineford. "Have you ever seen the face of the Wolf of the Sea?"
That had her actually looking up, watching as Dracule walked across the span of the cabin. Waves lapped at the hell, the only sound for a good minute. "... No."
"He's beautiful in the way a storm is," Mihawk began, gaze trained out the window, watching Marine vessels sail by. "In the way a violent death is. He is beautiful, and terrifying, and biblical." His voice wavered on the final word.
It felt like a blow to her chest. "Biblical?"
"There are times when I have gazed upon him, and caught myself wondering: Are you Him? Is this our punishment from God Himself upon us? To send Lucifer back to us upon these Seas, to reap us and slaughter us like pigs in a slaughterhouse." His voice is naught but a rasp, spiraling in his conviction, in his fear. "He is beautiful, and deadly, and there is a rage to him that is befitting an angel, fallen from grace, with their wings plucked from them." Mihawk turned, then- meeting Sybil's surprised gaze.
"Are you saying he's Lucifer?" She whispered, reaching out to settle a hand on his forearm.
"I'm not saying he isn't." Dracule answered, just as softly.
~A conversation between Mihawk & his spouse in regards to Warlord Malekai Kuznetsov, the Scourge of the Sea.

you ever think abt how communists on this site cant name a single fucking ethnic minority living under the soviet union. you ever think abt how they never consider the millions raped and killed under their Ideal Political Climate. you ever think abt how they think we dont exist. you ever think abt how they want to erase our words from the conversation. bc i do, and it makes me fucking violent.

my bitchass boss has decided today that from now on the USELESS register people who start at two pm are only allowed to take their break from six pm onward. does this make sense? not in the slightest.
this of course also means someone who's shift is 3:30 to 8:30 pm with a thirty minute break (me!), does not. get. to take a break.
hurray to me and yet another thirty minutes overtime they won't pay me for! <333333333

ppl on here act like they know everything about veganism yet have never even once seen a cow having its entire throat sawed open with a knife while it twitches and kicks on a conveyor hook and it shows.

Can’t believe I never shared this on Tumblr. Anyways this is the very first in my new vegan series “The Men Behind the Curtain”.
In this episode I am focusing on the living conditions of farmed animals. Uncovering the dire and inhumane treatment around the living conditions of farmed animals.
Will you support the men behind the curtain or will you support the animals? Could you consider veganism?
Being vegan is not about perfectionism, it’s about making the most ethical choices as much as is practically possible.
