main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:
michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club
*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***
that's it that's the movie
outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative
actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.
aka Michael Myers Is A Republican
but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too
also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain
side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty
i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978
(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)
oh no he's hot

#HALLOWEEN#halloween the movie#michael myers#do you think he's a mike? mikey? to his friends? if slashers had friends?#i'll be honest i was expecting this movie to be way more of a bitch to its female characters#i mean yeah they died but so did some dudes#there's just a lack of cattiness compared to the way most later movies portrayed teenage girls idk#yeah the Final Girl is a Virgin and a Bookworm. but there's no bullying or any strong sense that's she's morally superior to everyone else#mostly she AND the other girls feel a bit sorry for her lack of a social life. one even tries to set her up with a date to the school dance#solidarity! trying to get your nerd friend laid!#overall it's just teenagers being teenagers and then a slasher comes in and ruins everything with his Lack Of Chill#like yeah dude sometimes teenagers have sex. get over it#also something to be said about how while the girl who survives is the one who isn't sexually active and dresses conservatively...#ultimately those things aren't ENOUGH to prevent her from being targeted#you could say that the other girls 'provoked' the villain (the same way women irl are so often accused of provoking their attackers)#but ultimately that doesn't keep the Final Girl safe. it just delays the inevitable.#because violent men never need excuses. no matter how eager society is to provide them.#ultimately she is at the mercy of the same violent whims because it was never her behavior that invited the violence.#gendered violence doesn't need an invitation.#also she doesn't save herself the doctor saves her#it's not her actions or choices that put her in danger OR save her from it--once again it is the whim of a man#no this wasn't intended to be a feminist movie it's just fun how you could argue it that way

like there was DEFINITELY worse sins that this episode committed but like? who the fuck was that because that sure as hell WASN’T Omega?!? “the mad god” is a sure maybe line but “banished from gallifrey” “originator of the time lords” NO?????? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTTTTT
OMEGA WAS A SCIENTIST WHO GOT SUCKED INTO A BLACK HOLE. HE MADE TIME TRAVEL POSSIBLE BUT THE ORIGINAL TIME LORD WAS FUCKING RASSILON
and idk but like the fact in the three doctors that Omega spent so long in the anti-matter universe that his whole body disappeared and he was just a suit is an amazing twist and this episode just undercuts it. like what the hell was that skeleton baby body thing

Istrpangi vs supposedly fully back to normal trpangi. uh huh. the phrasing of "weak" too. Pointing at my sign that says "i dont think he immediately is going to be back to trpangi as we knew him and it will probably take some time not just for his personality to go back to normal but for all of his memories to come back”

Honestly the funniest thing abt Don't Starve lore is just that Wagstaff made a robot born from someone's death, full of trauma upon having several out of body experiences that started crashing out and then threw it into the nightmare hell word and somehow didn't expect it to become the most bitter evil angry person ever. If my only exposure to humans was Wagstaff honestly I would've turned out worse we're lucky WX hasn't strangled their fellow survivors in their sleep yet.
As far as I know we don't really know when WX became truly evil and honestly I think it would be very interesting to imply idk, being mauled by hounds and tossed around in an uncaring unforgiving world for years with some canon evidence even suggesting they don't remember too much of life before the constant, might've been why they turned out. Like that. Esp I think it says everything WX can confront Wagstaff stare him down but Wagstaff just avoids their gaze, one of these people is guilty [and knows it too] the other is not.
Also Wagstaff's quote for the nightmare throne implying he meant for WX to die in there ='].
WX feeling the need to tell a Wagstaff inspired machine she's better than her creators, telling another to never trust Wagstaff. I think it screams yet another thing Wagstaff tossed the second it became clear it wasn't doing exactly what he wanted [as WX says about some of his machines discarded like trash] rather than him saving the world from an evil robot born evil.
Also makes for an amazing Frankenstein comparison, make life, don't give it a name, be horrified when it has emotional problems, dump it in the woods, oops it came back- [I know that's not exactly what happened but y'know]
#ramblez#esp with the desc on wagstaffs own short it says everything tbh that and him admitting to having been a snake oil salesman like hm#everything about him is fake and his constant taking advantage of those in a bad situation its ogh.... no wonder wx is like that#dont starve#dont starve together#dst#wx-78#wx 78 dst#don't starve together#wx 78#don't starve#honestly I do think wagstaff as a character is better when hes not being given a secret soft side#some people just take advantage of others and imo we havent seen evidence hes been manipulated by the shadow powers#I think it would be fitting the ultimate evil just be someone whose fake someone who truly doesnt have a care for those in worse situations#than he is#not everyone can be super morally grey or complicated some people are simply the worst and I think wagstaff is one of them#all the characters shorts so far were backstories some sort of origin story wagstaffs is too and even then we see him stealing from#those trying to literally run for shelter or else theyll die#and before he even comes in contact with the projector full of nightmare fuel he goes for that instead of the man dying#I think it says everything that was how they felt the need to introduce him tbh as a snake oil sales man a thief#he may not have intended the harm a lot of his actions had but he knew the risks of taking shit out of the constant and just#selling it off to other people of turning a person into a robot sending a nightmare spider to someone to study etc#I think of him very much as someone who doesnt care for the harm he does until hes forced to actually witness it idk i think its#more interesting that way wx tries to be evil wagstaff just Is evil through and through Wx cant help but care Wagstaff cant be made#to care

imo jax has no clue that hes miserable. like hes putting on a face for sure but i dont think he actually has the emotional awareness to know WHY hes doing that. he just wants to look cool and masculine and thats as far as he thinks on it. theres more to it but he doesnt know that. being sad isnt cool so he wouldnt even entertain the idea that hes secretly sad
#tadc#hes absolutely miserable but he doesnt. realize i dont think#i think he knows when hes Currently unhappy but i dont think he like#realizes that theres an underlying misery to his entire existence#hes trying to be cool and is forcing himself to have fun all the time#the man is desperate to be happy and laugh and has found a way to do it#its not viable and also its a bandaid on his problems but he doesnt realize#and also hes a piece of shit#i hope he one day recovers because its tragic and also bc for the others' sake he should stop being an asshole to them#hes more ok expressing negative emotions if theyre like. angry or frustrated. he just ignores sadness. its not cool of him#idk if im wrong or if i jsut interpret him differently but genuinely#to me he is a guy more obsessed w looking cool than almost everything else#a bold move when he doesnt respect anyone around him#then again he knows(?) thers an audience so . maybe its for them#or maybe he wants the illusion of superiority over the others#they all might be jumpy and mopey but hes above that and wants them all to know#its just one way to have control over literally anything in the circus#and i think thers struggles every chracter has in come way and like#i think i should look at how the charcters interact w the concept of their own autonomy#bc theres something there#esp given a lot of gangles actions in ep 4 revolve around her finally. finally having literally any control over how ppl treat her#even if its not actually 'real' control#and smth smth caine getting rid of zoobles option to not participate#pomni getting dragged places CONSTANTLY#ragatha trying to maintain the other characters emotional stability#which reads as a desperate desire to stop players from abstracting. to me. which is in itself#a desire for control in a bad situation#then theres kinger.... i cant think of much for him. in terms of control#he doesnt seem to have control of anything but he has a surprisingly large amnt of authority#circus discussion

Not sure if someone already sent you an ask about this but Eternal Sugar's trailer has been released!!! And her voice has been revealed alongside her little sidekicks
I saw! I saw both, in fact! And her English voice is terrible just most of them are :)))))))))))) turning the Korean audio back on for this one :)))
Editing to add: Eternal Sugar's English voice sounds like what a stereotypical straight man thinks a beautiful woman is "supposed" to sound like. It sounds like a lackluster mimic of Jessica Rabbit. I hope that makes sense

I have to say, I know that the science shows that trans athletes on HTR are usually in-line with the physical capabilities of their fellow cis atheletes...but saying "estrogen degrades a trans woman's athletic abilities" just feels like we're capitulating to the idea that women are weaker than men and offering legitimacy to the idea that sex/gender segregation in sports is correct and based on biological reality, and not the real truth, which is that people with estrogen-dominant endocrine systems can absolutely go toe-to-toe against athletes with testosterone dominant endocrine systems and win and society doesn't like the idea of a "woman" beating a "man" which is why women are shoved into women's leagues where they can be paid less, treated like shit, and ignored.
Like...I know it's small steps with some people, but desegregating sports has been a major feminist talking point since I was a little kid and we should never, EVER lose sight of the fact that women not being able to play against men has absolutely NOTHING to do with athletic ability and everything to do with people hating women, especially ones that can, and do, beat men. The entire anti-trans athlete argument is based on the idea that cis women are biologically weak and cannot, under any circumstances, beat a man at any test of physical or mental ability, so if we let trans women(who are seen as men by these people) play against cis women then the cis women will always lose.
And that is not fucking true, and it's not untrue because "estrogen makes you weaker", it's not fucking true because women are just as strong and capable as men and can beat them in a fair fight and they always fucking have been. Using this argument is akin to critiquing the draft by saying the way to fix it is to make it so women have to sign up too. You're missing the point, the draft existing at all is the problem and you should not legitimize it's existence by trying to force women to deal with it too. No one should be drafted.
And, again, trans and cis and intersex women can play against and beat trans and cis and intersex men at sports. And trans men can also beat cis men. The problem is not who is strong and who is weak, it's that segregating sports by gender is fucking stupid sexist bullshit, it always has been and it always will be and we should stop doing it.
Also the existence of sex/gender segregated sports will always be exorsexist and intersexist and harm anyone who doesn't fit into the bullshit false sex/gender binary. We shouldn't separate sports by gender or sex because HUMANS cannot be truly separated by those things. There's too much variance and diversity. Intersex kids and nonbinary kids and any kid who falls outside the binary ALSO deserves to be allowed to play sports. And in a system where we still have "men's" sports and "women's" sports athletes that aren't men or women are left in the fucking dust. WE SHOULD NEVER SUPPORT A SYSTEM THAT DOES THAT.
So please, stop using the argument that estrogen makes trans women weak like "real women" and that's why they should be allowed into women's sports. On top of just being a really fucking sexist thing to say in general, it's ceding ground to deeply misogynistic and racist beliefs about women and their abilities, on top of legitimizing a system that fucks women over constantly and was built specifically to hold women back, and we can absolutely defend trans athletes(as well as intersex and nonbinary athletes) without falling back on the idea that there's only two sexes/genders and being a woman makes you weaker than a man always no matter what and testosterone is a magic ticket to being strong and makes you good at sports.
When a transphobe asks if you think it's okay for men to play against women you do not answer by explaining that estrogen HRT makes trans women as weak as real women or that trans women are actually women or that trans men are as strong as men due to HTR or are men, you respond by saying yes, I do fucking think it's okay because segregating sports by gender is horseshit that started with a bunch of misogynistic racists throwing a fit about a black teenage girl striking out two of the greatest baseball players of all time in the same game. Women's sports were born out of wanting an excuse to stop women from achieving as much as men, to pay them less, ignore them, and treat them like shit and we should move past that as a society. Idc what the reasoning is, supporting this binary ass view of sex and gender as if it's based at all in reality is not helping trans people, it's hurting them. If you can learn that the old guy in charge of FIFA used to say if female players want to be paid attention to they should just dress sexier despite the US women's team outperforming the men's team all the time and somehow still think any of this is about ability or skill or some biological reality then you aren't serious about trans and intersex liberation and do have a lot of internal misogyny you need to work on.
Stop defending trans people by legitimizing sexism and sex/bioessentialism. Women are strong, trans and cis and intersex, and they can do absolutely anything a man can do, as can nonbinary(intersex or not) people and trans men. The idea that any woman is biologically weaker than any given man is wrong. There is no biological reality supporting this idea. Stop telling little girls that they're weak, especially trans girls and trans men(since people see them as broken women who are weaker than men and shouldn't be allowed in men's sports) holy fuck, and stop telling them that the existence of women's sports is some just and correct thing when they're literally based on the idea that women are frail, weak little flowers who could get blown over by a stiff breeze and never beat a man at anything and were created as a response to women beating men at sports.
For now I do 100% believe trans kids should be allowed to play sports on whichever side feels right for them for any number of reasons, most of which have nothing to do with biological ability or winning, but aside from that, I don't actually think that trans women should be playing women's sports because I do not think women's sports should exist at all. All people, trans, cis, intersex, ect. should be able to play against each other because that is the world that actually protects and cares for trans and intersex people and women. Discard the binary, stop pretending women are weaker than men, stop erasing the bigoted reason women's sports even exist in the first place, and NEVER say that estrogen degrades athletic ability. You sound like the guy who tried to keep women out of the Boston Marathon on the basis that "no women could actually run 26 miles" that's who you fucking sound like when you say that. So stop fucking saying it.

the way to the moon is about holding on (to the promise you don't even remember making, to the person you loved, to the life you never got to live but refuse to give up). it's johnny choosing to be with river time and time again, it's johnny holding on to all the paper rabbits river made even if he didn't know their significance, it's river keep trying to remind johnny of their shared past, it's river giving up her treatment so a place that means the world to her is protected, it's eva and neil trying their hardest to send johnny to the moon, it's eva taking the risk in hopes of making it
the way finding paradise is about letting go (of your mistakes, of the unrealistically perfect life you never lived, of the person who helped you through your darkest times but who now keeps you stuck in the past). it's colin letting go of faye despite being afraid, it's colin keep replacing pages in his book with new ones, it's faye knowing that colin never needed sigmund's help, it's faye telling colin he has to let go of her if he wants to live fully, it's neil and eva trusting faye despite what it means for them, it's neil taking the risk in hopes of making it

Anti videos are funny... I'm not a ray of sunshine myself by any means, but they're all so hilariously negative.
Everytime I see a string of videos the titles go pretty much like "Stolas is horrible, Blitzo is terrible, everything is badly written, they're all too gay, it has too many swear words, this isn't accurate according to umm the bible-" and on and on and on, you get my drill. Atp I can only imagine the person behind these fuming as they make them - their blood pressure is through the roof.

Something something Beetee was forced to watch his plan fail in the second quarter quell, something something Beetee was unconscious, and therefore unable to witness it when his plan succeeded in the third quarter quell.
Something something, we're blind to our own success when clouded by our failures.
