Okay so this is random af but what if some of the Brothers have really embarrassing middle names that Lucifer only uses when he's super pissed at them.

Like, MC and Satan just chilling in library when they heard a small explosion from the other side of house (which was a harmless albeit genius prank of Satan's) and all they hear is Lucifer screaming at the top of his lungs

SATAN EUGENE!!!!!

MC:...Eugene?

Satan, face red: Don't ask...

#sia-speaks #sia's weird thoughts #idk but this was stuck in my head #and distracting me from my writing so #I just had to say something #also Mammon probably hears some like #Mammon Francis!!! frequently lol #obey me #obey me otome #obey me satan #obey me lucifer #obey me mc #obey me mammon

Did Sia insult topic of autism somehow?

Oh honey, it's sooooooooo much worse than that.

Sia wanted to make a movie about an autistic girl that manages to connect to people/feel safe and confident through music. So far, nothing outrageous, just a simple concept that would obviously put Sia's music front and center while doing something nice and educating people on autism.

There was controversy about her not casting an autistic actress as it would have been nice representation, but she could have totally gotten away with that since, come on, hollywood hasn't even figured out Rain Man isn't exactly true to life, they're not ready to have an autistic person playing an autistic character. Baby steps.

The real problem started when Sia started promoting the "charity/support group" that was helping "educate" her on the topic to make the movie. The "charity" in question was Autism Speaks - which is absolutely HATED by the autistic community for things like:

1 - Spreading the myth that autism is a mental illness that one can develop/catch like the freaking flue and potentially be cured of, instead of a neurotype, aka something starts in the woomb and cannot be "cured" because to do that you'd need to replace someone's entire nervous system, which is impossible.

2 - Using that myth to get outrageous amounts of money from people so they "search for a cure" - that doesn't exist and will never exist because curing autism is biologically impossible, AND despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of autistic people don't even want to be "cured" (plus, since said "cure" would essentially mean giving the person a new brain, it leads to the question of "Would I even be the same person, or would that just kill and replace me?")

3 - Using the myth of "We don't know what causes autism" (we do, it's genetic) to, of course, get MORE money from people so they can "do research to find the missing puzzle piece" (if you ever see autistic people complaining about a puzzle piece being used to represent the condition, that's why, it was started by Autism Speak's massive disinformation campains).

4 - Falsely "confirming" things like soy milk cause autism with one of the world's most ridiculous "research", losing only to "vaccines totally make kids autistic, buy MY vaccine instead, guys, I am totally not an unbelievably biased person, it's ALL the other doctors/scientists lying to you. GIVE ME MONEY!"

5 - Pushing the narrative of "autism is inherently a tragedy" to distract from the fact that all the money they waste on stupid shit could be used to help autistic people and their families. Instead, they focus on creating more and more panic, making parents in particular despair even more - to the point that one of their "awareness videos" includes a mother talking about how she wants to murder her autistic daughter and then kill herself... while sitting right next to said daughter.

6 - Promoting ABA "therapy" - which was created by the same guy responsible for the attrocity that is gay conversion "therapy." Both have led to unbelievably high rates of confirmed PTSD and suicidal ideation in patients (victims), and ABA in particular has been compared to literal dog training. Very fitting since it was created by a guy who famously did not believe autistic people truly counted as thinking, feeling human beings, and said as much several times. Despite that, it is still praised by some utter bastards because "it makes the patients act less autistic when they're not crying in the corner or trying to jump out a window"

So yeah, working with these guys is a genuinely horrible thing to do since they're basically a scam/hate group pretending to be a charity - and people were STILL willing to give Sia the benefit of the doubt, since Autism Speak uses all their resources to make sure they're the first thing people see when looking up how to help autistic people.

Lots of Sia's fans, both autistic and allistic, warned her repeatedly, politely, that she needed to supporting them IMMEDIATELY as their goal was the exact opposite of the one she claimed to have - aka raise awareness through an accurate portrail of autism. People were even kind enough to name organizations like ASAN as replacements to help her fix any damage done to the project.

And instead of being a decent human being, Sia decided to cry on twitter about how the mean retar-I mean, autistics were bullying her even when she was so kindly using them for her vanity project.

Because yes, that's how the movie turned out. An unwatcheable piece of garbage, with the autistic "character" being so fucking bad even the people who actively use "autistic" as insulted being offended on our behalf - and of course, she was used just a prop to show how awesome Sia's character was.

Seriously, it was so bad the actress playing the autistic girl was sobbing in between scenes because she knew how it was horrible and she didn't want to insult anyone, but Sia is literally her godmother and helped her career by putting her in nearly all her music videos so she felt obligated to go along with it.

So yeah, fuck Sia and fuck Autism Speaks.

Drifters White Christmas erasure (and I’m a Christmas music hater)

no no, you're right. unfortunately i can't listen to it in any other context other than it's inclusion in home alone (1990) because i'm under oath that the only song i can listen to with full consent in the month of december is wham!'s last christmas.

#sci speaks #my spotify is locked on wham!'s last christmas for an entire month. #i can be subjected to other songs in the shopping malls if it's in my periphera but i cannot consent to listening to any other songs. #WHY is drifters white christmas never playing in the malls. #it's always michael buble and i HATE michael buble. #sorry michael buble. #also that horrible sia song. i hate sia too. sorry sia. #actually i'm not sorry sia. you suck sia. #christmas music haters are the most valid people ever. me too anon. i hate christmas music so much. #i went to a christmas party the other day and the singing started and i wanted to die so much. #the worst part of it was they started singing wham!'s last christmas and i was like finally. some good music. #and the backing track CUT OFF and they sang mariah carey instead and it felt like i was being personally victimised.

Angel Dust che ha un background italiano è una buona scusa per fargli droppare una bestemmia in ogni caso

#grimm official speaks #Penso che super vivzie sia abbastanza acculturata per sapere cosa sia una bestemmia? Assolutamente no #o che il bg italiano non sia lì solamente perché “ommioddio mafia sexy”? Ancora no #ma una persona può sognare #Campagna per far dire ad Angel “porco dio” se lo merita #dopo tutta la merda che ha passato

So apparently Sia has revealed she's autistic, which shows just how much internalised ablism can affect autistic people ourselves. I genuinely hope she uses this time to learn and reflect but I'm never not gonna be angry at her

What is your opinion of the movie 'Music'? The one by SIA

That movie disgusts me. I'm pretty sure I have autism, I have many traits (since I'm black it's almost impossible to get diagnosed, also diagnosis is expensive).

The character Music is a walking stereotype. She isn't even played by an autistic actor! I am in no way blaming the young person who played Music, she was clearly convinced by SIA, who plays a motherly role in her life. Children often find it difficult to say no to parents or parental figures.

The story claims to be about a young girl with autism, but the supposed to be main character is set to the side and the story focuses on a blossoming romance.

The movie also enforces the "magical black person" stereotype. Where the black person is only there to solve problems in oh so magical ways.

In a scene Music is pinned to the ground when having a meltdown. THAT'S DANGEROUS!! It could hurt the person and could cause trauma in the situation.

SIA also got all her research from Autism Speaks, which is a whole other story. I will make a post about Autism Speaks. SIA claimed to do so much research, yet didn't learn that Autism Speaks is harmful to the community? Yeah, okay.

I could go on but this post is long enough, I could make a part 2 if requested.

I have to admit that I feel a definite sense of smugness when political reasons mean that people online call for everyone to boycott or hate on something I already didn't engage with and/or hated. Now I get to participate in the boycott while changing absolutely nothing in my behaviour except now I can feel morally superior for not doing the thing

#this is about Spotify and Eurovision #draco speaks #also Sia a few years ago because I absolutely HATE her music more than pretty much anything else

I'm sorry guys this will be the only thing I'll post about today, just blacklist the tags. This comes after 30 years of economical, social and political decline that Berlusconi brought about with the aid of many, MANY people but of which he was one the main architects and given how much he's taken from all generations (in terms of welfare and quality of life) living in Italy and how he helped pave the current far-right government I think we all collectively deserve to mock him one last time as the clown but most of all as the wretched person he was

Imagine that instead of dating them, MC basically takes up the job of being the Boys' Mom (regardless of MC's actual gender).

None of those men have ever had a mom (Dia never met his, the angels and former angels never had one, Solomon probably doesn't even remember his, and how the fuck was Barb even made??), but feel strangely comfortable with this human playing such role in their life.

Some of the Boys love it and fight over MC, others complain but secretly love how much the human cares for them, and others try to be the best son possible for their new human Mommy 🥰

Yeah, sorry Sia, no love from me. 😒💅

Sometimes I think about someone coming up to someone else saying they like Sia’s music and the other person has to do a double take to find out whether they’re normal or ableist.

#The Kiwi Speaks #random thoughts lol #look I know that movie came out a while ago #everyone hates it and trust me. so do I #the thought is just. kinda funny. maybe a little. #I like Sia’s SONGS. not her “MUSIC” #The movie can rot for all I give a shit #i watched a review on it years ago and. yeah. definitely not it chief. #hopefully people learn never to do that again! *HARD KNOCKING ON WOOD*
