everyone is saying ooo gay james bond bc of benoit blank and that homoerotic subtext in skyfall (true, correct) but nobody ever talks about the mads mikkelston/daniel craig cock and ball torture scene from casino royale. where bond screams YES YES!! while madds whips him in the nuts while hes tied naked to a chair. this is real btw. find it on youtube. its sublime.

Michael Mann: So there’s this guy, he sucks, he’s consumed by a formless guilt and lowkey wants to be purified in death, he’s a cop with a Napoleon complex played by Al Pacino. He possesses innate Vaudevillian talent but uses it exclusively to reign state terror or evade authentic emotional commitment. He’s an empath. He has BPD. He’s a Manic Pixie Vietnam Veteran who may or may not have committed war crimes and dropped out of law school because why interpret the law when you can be the motherfucking law. He lets his hot wife tie him up in bed and then skips off to chase guys around. He dresses like an undertaker who moonlights as a used car salesman and wears a watch that would not look out of place on a drug dealer or Howard Ratner. He has apparently developed some kind of autochthonous personal slang that everybody around him just rolls with because he has inexplicable charisma despite being observably violent and insane. He’s a superficially doting but absent stepfather careening for divorce number three. His idea of trauma therapy is police brutality street theater while high on speed.

Me: At last, I understand the mythical “blorbo” archetype of which this website speaks.

you need to listen to Bruce Springsteen’s live albums not just his studio stuff because his crowd work has three modes it’s either “Clarence you should walk me on a leash” or “one time I fell down the stairs and I still think about it….do you still think about it?” or “this songs for my dad who only loved me sort of which was worse than not at all. he’s not in the crowd tonight. or maybe he is. if you see him please god tell me.” and before anyone can react to any of that he’s hootin and hollerin and Clarence Clemens is doing things with a saxophone that are now illegal in more than 15 US states

there are no hard rules for human interaction but honestly i think everyone online would benefit hugely from operating under the assumption that, unless you have been given a specific reason to think otherwise in discrete instances, internet strangers do not want to be approached with:

your trauma, illnesses, or deep-rooted self worth issues

any come-ons or sexual content

over-familiar playful rudeness

information about your dnd characters/ocs

disagreements with their harmless subjective opinions

if it is your first time speaking with someone i can not highly enough recommend that these do not be your opening topics

cannot stop thinking about how the insurance exec in saw vi was punished for denying coverage of what ended up being the mexico scam in saw x ... did john not tell anyone to cancel this game ... did hoffman just not care
