#we are all geniuses

[wherestoriescomefrom]

rian johnson took all that time, put in all that effort to make glass onion a fantastic period piece to the first four months of pandemic, a prescient narrative that anticipates the stupidity of rich billionaires, and then pulled the rug from under us because the world of benoit blanc just straight up doesn't have the mona lisa anymore

#Some geniuses in the notes are talking about how it wasn't the real mona lisa #And I'm editing my tags because tumblr is a website with minimal reading comprehension #But the POINT is that he went through all that effort to make the world canon complaint with ours #Only to DESTROY a cultural artefact real or not #Having massive political implications for the world #And that's what I was pointing out. Here and in another reblog that presumably no one will care to fish out #It's in the replies for those looking #Anyway I hope rian johnson makes ten of these without the mona lisa #Also as a side note. So many movies have ignored covid #Not this man. He's like no we'll include it. But if we divert from canon reality #We're going to destroy the mona lisa #Love that for him. Icon #hello void this is ridiculosity #knives out #glass onion

I have some thoughts about König I wanna run by you. 

I really like the concept of him following rules to the letter, but not the intention. 

like he would never steal from friends, but that only applies to items, job opportunities, romantic interests, and ideas don’t count. 

he would never cheat on his lover, EVER! but…that doesn’t mean he can’t entertain thoughts of the nice recruit who for sure has a crush on him, he could lead her on just a lil bit, live off the attention when he’s deployed and claim ignorance if anything gets serious. 

oh and he would never hit you, of course not! but if he got you riled up enough or angry enough to throw a punch his way he could hold you down and restrain you so you don’t hurt yourself, he’s not a monster for kind of liking how you struggle to break free from his grip, and he’s barely even exerting any energy, it’s a safe kind of powerplay to him. 

ok i am listening and nodding my head yes!

König didn’t get the positive attention he so craved when he was younger, so any little bit of it he can grapple at is his for the taking. He’s a bit impulsive.

Mental health and repercussions are not at all relevant to him when he sees something that he wants and is within the realm of possibility for him to attain. He would have a sort of conniving way when it comes to going about these things, too. It isn’t intentional, but to him, his reasoning is absolute. Probably gets that from his father, but he prefers not to think of that.

He’s no master manipulator here, just a man that is very aware of his few talents. He’s not even good at telling a lie, far too blunt and always speaking the first thing that pops into his head.

There’s a promotion at work another operator is vying for? Well, he’s far more suited for it anyway— look at him. He’s big and good with his weapons, handles them nicely and can plow through an enemy with as much ease as he can a wooden door. His confirmed kills far exceed the number of things that his parents could find and scrape together and deem themselves proud of him for. König’s not entirely withdrawn, either, his people respect him. Some might even admire him a bit, wishing they had the things that he never even asked for: his height, the creepy look upon his face, his lack of hesitation when pulling a trigger or burying his hunting knife in another man’s guts.

They’re on good terms, still on good terms even after he presents his argument as to why he’s just that little bit more deserving. He doesn’t need to bring up his childhood or much of his past to anyone here, but he knows down to his very marrow that people tend to think there’s something off or wrong about him and in turn he’s met with pity or fear. He utilizes it, gets what he feels he deserves by coming off gruff and demanding, even whiny if the situation calls for it. Time and time again, he comes to realize it’s much easier and more rewarding for him to play people like toy soldiers in these situations.

He might not be able to get a girlfriend in any authentic way, but as Ghost said in her reblog here, I do think he would have at least tried a tryst with a friend’s girlfriend at some point. König could reason away any guilt. She came onto him, batting her lashes and wearing that low cut blouse while telling him about just how selfish her man/his friend was in bed. And when it ends terribly as these things do, he’ll learn his lesson well enough, gives some hashed apology over a pint of ale. It doesn’t mend a void, only forces another distance between himself and another person. König is more than used to that.

It is always the wrong thing said or done, always a ship with no harbor to dock. He would have friends, yes, but it’s up in the air as to whether or not any of them last very long. He’s self aware enough to realize that he creates these problems, that he could have just done x instead of y, but there’s this tentative, newfound pride wrought up within him that he doesn’t ever let go of. He doesn’t want to be seen as that weak little boy he once was. Apologies are like pulling teeth, even getting one from him is a big deal.

It isn’t his fault he didn’t get as much pussy as any other man and surely… any true friend of his would know enough about him to accept that he was not entirely the one at fault here. Richtig..?

He’ll be happy to take credit for a job well done. It wasn’t his idea to burst through that door and clear out a room of enemies, but he did the work. He deserves the praise, the increase in pay, whatever benefit he can gain from it. It didn’t matter that Fender barked out the order over the comms, warned his team of potential danger, what matters to König is that he got it taken care of with no casualties on his side.

New recruits come and go often, and more often than not, they’re horrified of this giant that outranks them. König still hasn’t mastered any way with women, but he’s been fortunate enough to land himself a sweet, cute girlfriend that waits for him at home. He’s not an idiot, either, knows a little romp at work isn’t worth a thing in comparison to her and would only add another fire to the desolate world he lives in in his head. His girlfriend’s the only garden he has, and he would rather damn himself entirely than ever see something he loves burn.

So, when one bold woman does approach him, placing her hand on his arm and complimenting his stature, he doesn’t feel a thing except some strange twist of pride.

He’s come a long way from the boy who was ridiculed and bullied relentlessly, worked himself tirelessly into becoming this broad mimicry of a god made flesh. But fuck. The attention is nice. He would compliment this recruit’s aim from time to time, pat her on the head like a good little dog when she takes out an enemy or stacks on extra work for herself. It never goes further than that, but she practically eats out of the palm of his hand, begging with her eyes rather than her voice to ask for a night with her colonel.

And when he’s on leave, and his girlfriend is asking why this woman is texting him so often, he shrugs and casually tosses her his phone. He’s got nothing to hide, hasn’t even entertained the thought of sleeping with this girl. If anything, she reminds him of himself before he ever got laid. That desperation is certainly there, and it does kind of unsettle him. Is this how he came off to women before…? A pitiful little thing that just wants to be loved and cared for?

He doesn’t even respond to the recruit’s messages, even when there are so many of them. He kisses his girlfriend everywhere, fucks her like it’s the first few times all over again, and falls asleep nestled up against her. There’s no room in his heart for anyone except the object of his affection, but a part of him does hope this lost little lady finds her own sliver of heaven too. He knows how she feels and hates the thought of making a woman cry outside of fucking her well. So he lets the recruit down easy next time they meet, tells her he doesn’t care for relationships at work, that he loves his girlfriend and he doesn’t want to hurt her. It’s spoken candidly, and doesn’t leave any room for discussion.

Shame about the lack of affection while deployed, but he’s managed on his own longer than most. He’s got an entire album of pretty photos of his girl in and out of the lingerie he bought for her to keep him company, anyway.

And admittedly, arguments with his beloved turn him on.

They both know that she can’t actually hurt him. When her hand is raised to give him a good slap for being a complete asshole over something as trivial as a cashier for accidentally ringing something up twice, he’s already hard. The grin on his face is nothing short of ugly, because he knows how this ends, the same way that it always does. He would take her wrist only after she’s hit him, let her stew in what she’s done, murmur her apologies through stilted breaths and lashes heavy with tears. She tells him she just doesn’t understand why he is the way that he is sometimes while trying to wrench her hand away from his grip.

He’s not rough enough to hurt her when the argument sparks up again, even guides her down onto the floor with a steady hand on her back while she pleads with him for answers that he just doesn’t have. He would go back to seeing a regular therapist for her, maybe. He would do anything for her and that’s just another thing that they both know.

“Heh… you like me crazy,” König would breathe into her hair when her thighs are locked around his middle. Poor thing can barely speak when she’s exerted her energy trying to best him in a battle she could never hope to win. She’s all whimper and no bite, nails raking over his shoulders with each slow, teasing thrust.

“Look at you.” He practically purrs when her face is taken into one callused palm, brought forward to lock eyes with him when the sounds spilling from her lips grow more needy. And then he gives her the fucking she deserves, rougher when she’s sighing his name and trembling from the residual waves of her own orgasm. It didn’t matter who was right or wrong anymore; argument long-forgotten, buried under a blanket of white heat. He chases his own end, lets her watch him unravel all for her as his seed fills her, spills out where they connect to make a mess of the carpet below.

He’s selfish in those ways.

do you guys ever wonder how devastated Professor Granville must’ve been after Obake’s accident at SFIT? She obviously blames herself for a decent chunk of it, if not the entire accident. Like, it fucked her up so badly she felt her only choice was to take the fall for it and straight-up resign, even though she obviously loved teaching and loved her other students besides Obake. Do you think she saw herself as more of a parent/really involved mentor role to him rather than a professor? Because I think so.

And then Hiro made the exact same thing that Obake made, it must’ve torn her apart all over again to see her new prodigy, her new protégé who she had been trying to teach limits to because she now knows how important they are, go down the same exact path that Obake did 20 years ago. Like, I am imagining her pain right now, her fear, the sense of failure that she hadn’t been able to save Obake and now she couldn’t save Hiro either (and I have low empathy so it’s SAYING something that I can imagine her pain). And then Hiro lies to her and says he won’t make the amplifier, and she’s relieved, like, maybe she’s actually saved him. Maybe he won’t make Obake’s mistakes

But then of course Hiro actually makes the amplifier and breaks her heart all over again. Also adult Obake showing up and messing with her, pushing the exact button to just destroy this poor woman (“you made me the man I am today”). Like damn, Professor Granville NEVER gets a break in this show.. someone needs to write a fic where she’s happy for once.

#justice for Professor Granville please she needs a break #she’s had to deal with at least two boy geniuses who hate limits and have penchants for dangerous tech #plus she had to deal with Hiro and Karmi’s rivalry #and she ALSO had to deal with Karmi being mutated #like we know Granville is also very fond of Karmi bc she lets her call her Professor G #seeing Karmi get hurt must’ve fucked poor Professor Granville up all over again #Professor Granville Hiro and Karmi are legit the punching bags of BH6 the series all the angst gets dumped on them #big hero 6 the series #big hero 6 #bh6 obake #young obake #bh6 #hiro hamada #big hero six #bh6 the series #bh6 hiro #bh6 professor granville #bh6 granville #professor granville #bh6 headcanons #bob aken #obake

SHIT WAIT AMAZING DEVIL

Also please. That Unwanted Animal by the Amazing Devil

#Those fuckers are lyrical geniuses I swear I have considered a tattoo of their lyrics #'If we join our hands in prayer enough; to God I imagine it all starts to sound like applause' that line is SICK #The amazing devil is indeed amazing I love songs that are just such poetry like the lyrics WEAVE yknowhwatimean #I'm not tagging this as songs bc I swear I will do sth with that song. Theres so much #Not an art #(Actually inspo for my fic even lol)

[jessefreakman]

i remember that meme a year or so ago where parts of tumblr were making fun of transmasc musicians in contrast to transfem musicians and i can’t be the only one who thinks that shit was just unnecessarily mean, right? you don’t have to shit on transmascs for existing to uplift transfems?

#it was inescapable for like two or three weeks straight on my dash and it was all non-transmascs making those jokes #and acting like they were comedic geniuses because they violently hated boys will be bugs #i don't even really like the song myself but comparing mellow indiepop to a shrieking hyperpop song just isn't a fair comparison #it was just to make fun of us and act like everything we do is cringeworthy and not real art. #transandrophobia

crisis on infinite earths part 1 movie spoilers

so you're telling me that all we get of Brainy in this movie is a scene at the very end where he talks with Kara and is actively vanishing from existence? And he isn't even sure that she'll remember him? but he makes sure that his last words are "I loved you, Kara"? And the movie ends with Kara sobbing on the floor?

I'm not okay, why do you ask

#papa don't look #tomorrowverse #crisis on infinite earths #karadox #rachel talks about stuff #supergirl #brainiac 5 #ship: believe in all the possibilities #coie spoilers #also there is a cute scene where dawnstar is like 'we need geniuses. your 31st century boyfriend #would come in handy' before the monitor lets everyone know time travel doesn't work #and he does get like. a line or two earlier #but that’s it

My rare Fate/ gender headcanon is that I think nb Mordred would be very cool because of lot of Mordred's character is about being uncertain and feeling contradictory about basically everything in their entire life and I think it'd be a very comforting thing to be able to recognize that in this specific case it's not a contradiction and in fact you can just do whatever you want here and nobody can stop you

#Mordred [handshake] Caenis #any pronouns nb lesbianism #as a side note #I'll support basically any Mordred gender/sexuality hc as long as we can all agree she's not cishet #they're all cool and sexy and smart and we're all geniuses for recognizing something lgbt is going on here #jawkan talkin

for a different narrative, what if the reason Tobirama was a “genius” and good at so many things was that Izuna was the actual genius and Tobirama constantly had to scramble to keep up

#uchiha izuna #senju tobirama #yes tobirama killed izuna #yes yes yes they were both geniuses #blablabla #you cowards. #raptor speaks #yes being a 'genius' and being the one having to keep up with that both require high skill #etc. #i just think we could all be a bit more creative #challenge the usual (fanon) narrative

It’s really really interesting to actively listen for “they/them” pronouns. Cis people really use them all the time when they don’t know a person’s gender.

“Who left their phone?”

“Why are they honking their car?”

“Who set their coffee cup in my way?”

Cis people are perfectly capable of using “they/them” pronouns, as long as it’s respectful only to people following their assigned gender roles.

#sorenhoots #posts I make about a manager who dislikes they/them pronouns enough to a ounce #it to everyone. #it doesn’t even matter omg. words are all #made up. that’s the whole point of language. you make up words to describe things that didn’t have words. now we have words like #wifi and shopaholic and ‘scientist’ is even a fairly new word! every new medicine gets a new word. newly discovered life forms and planets #often get unique names #if rich people are allowed to dub themselves Entrepreneurs and Geniuses then I am allowed to pick my labels too #if Joe Biden is allowed to identify as ‘left’ then I can call myself whatever I want lol

Dr. Ratio's idle animations... he's so ridiculous ugh

#Unfortunately it makes me like him more #The fact that he bathes with a rubber duckie too #It reminded me of the pretty boy back in college with full marks and a very pedantic attitude. He too loved to take long baths #and resented that the one in the flat he had rented with friends was so small he could barely fit lol #He too turned out to be sort of pathetic and silly despite the pedantic distant air and it also made me like him more #He blushed with so much ease #And he too was obsessed with the idea of beauty and knowledge having to go hand in hand #Which of course is very platonic so it seems like a given but he wasn't particularly into platonism I think? #He liked neoplatonism more I think. He ended up into ' analytical' (I dislike these terms) philosophy though #Abfkanfks I digress #Just that. Dr. Ratio is kind of pathetic. So much that his animations aren't even particularly beautiful. I almost feel bad for him #I don't know if I want him to be too pathetic though I don't know how that would paint the Intelligentsia Guild #and I want something more than 'Genius Society good and Intelligentsia Guild lame' out of them #especially with what little we have of the Guild's values and what little we have of many of the Geniuses' viewpoints #Which reminds me of Argent.i. I want him to be as deranged‚ weird and off putting as possible #What is a knight if they're not weird after all? 😔 #I should probably delete this later #I talk too much

[dramatic-dolphin]

in primary school me and some of my friends came up with a series of semi-improvised plays called "the accidental murders". they always played out like episodes of a detective show but starring THE most insanely stupid people in existence:

there would be a cold open where someone, without realizing it, murders someone accidentally, in a very contrived and stupid way.

(once it was a half-asleep mother accidentally strangling her child with a scarf, only intending to wrap it around her neck. another time, a pair of singers somehow mixed up a microphone with a sword)

then, the shocked accidental murderer calls the bumbling detective to solve the murder. the bumbling detective sucks at his job immensely and commits at least one accidental murder himself

in a series of contrived events worthy of a shakespearean tragedy, these plays should always end with EVERYONE slowly dying one by one, in accidental murders, except for one person who is never there to witness these murders

in the end, this one person stands in a room full of corpses and blithely comments on this fact

(once it was the funeral director, who - due to being stupid as hell - did not know which person was the corpse he should be giving a funeral to. he came back to the room, looked at the corpses, and said "well, that problem solved itself!" and started arranging everyone's funeral. respect.)

imaginary curtains fall. we all bow.

(except for the time one of my friends yelled "ZOMBIE DISCO!" and started playing loud music and then all the corpses stood up and started dancing.)

(like i said. semi-improvised.)

anyway, once we felt we had a given play down well enough, we scrounged up the parents of whoever's house we were currently in and put on a show for them. for some reason, they never seemed to like it much.

#i. just remembered these and i found them very funny #we were all artistic geniuses at the age of like 9-10. #🌌
