tb2 the spark of my spider-man hyperfixation - not a movie or a comic, but an aerial silk performer at a cheapo circus who was dressed as spider-man shout out to him

not everything will be rewarded, even time and money can be wasted; someday everything will fade into the past— still, i sing because i was born here. // 生きるよすが

IMO the decision to have Tyler not kill anyone really detracts from the messaging of the movie. ik it's probably due to Fincher's desires to keep the movie more lighthearted and comedic (we see this in other ways as well - marla's mom is cut out and Tyler isn't trying to kill himself at the end)but a lot of the horror of Project Mayhem is lost in translation.

In the book, we know Project Mayhem + Tyler/narrator has killed several people (the mayor's special envoy on recycling, the jawbones in the garden, narrator's boss, murder mystery party guy) as well as castrating them and it's effective in making the audience understand that this misanthropic anarchic terrorist group is a BAD THING. neither narrator nor the reader know why these people were killed, but see their bones being used as fertilizer for soap ingredients (read: death/human sacrifices facilitates the growth of project mayhem; awesome and badass metaphor!)

In the movie, Project Mayhem is pretty neutered. the most we see them do is their "homework assignments" which only amounts to vandalism instead of like. murder. and they only threaten to castrate people instead of going through with it (as far as we see). And Tyler emphasizes that there's no one in the credit card companies they're in. he doesn't even try to kill himself. Bob getting killed is framed as a consequence of Project Mayhem, but I think it's not as effective as Project Mayhem killing people since the actual killer is an opponent of PM instead of being part of it.

I think this is one of the reasons why some people (who've usually only watched the movie) idolize/think so highly of Tyler Durden. his extremism isn't shown to have the debilitating consequences it has in the book. fincher relies too much on Bob's death to demonstrate to the audience that Tyler's ideology and project mayhem is ultimately harmful and useless, and I really think being more faithful to the book in this regard would have elevated the movie.

Can we *please* have pride events that are more accessible to autistic people please golly

I lasted maybe 3 hours at pride before melting down, and that was *with sensory accommodations*. We took a break in a sensory space multiple times! I wore ear guards all the time! I wore safe comfy clothes and drank lots of cool water for temp regulation!

but huge huge crowds outside in sticky heat with packed streets and super bass boosted music. which was amplified by my ear guards. everyone was so nice when we talked to them, but I couldn’t talk to anybody because taking off my ear guards hurt too much and I was rapidly losing speech. it was fun shopping at all the art stalls and meeting people, but the stalls were closely crowded and moving between them was difficult.

like. I was the only visibly autistic person there that I saw. and I saw a LOT of people. and there were lots of other things me n my friends wanted to do, that we couldn’t do, because the place was too overwhelming and I melted down.

kinda feels lonely. I didn’t really get to talk to or meet a lot of people.

I wish there were smaller inside events alongside the huge outside ones. like a board game thing or smth. an indoor social. a few inside art stalls. *something*. Even an indoor drag show! There were drag events they were hosting and I couldn’t watch or enjoy them bc the music outside was So Fucking Loud.

there are other issues I had with that event but that’s the main thing. it turned smth I was excited to participate in, into smth I was just quietly miserable about. which kinda sucks. was worth it to go try once, but I don’t think I’d go again.

Worst thing about being an artist is having like 1 friend at most who cares about it. Please 1 response to my art in the GC would be sooo nice so kind please please I put so much time and effort into caring about the shit my friends do and enjoy is one message with words (not emoji reactions) too much to ask when I make art.

So yesterday this song came on my random playlist in the car. It makes me cry every single time I hear it but my partner didn't know that.

When it first started playing, my partner was like, "Oh, did I ever tell you that I think of this song as your theme song?" Cue immediate crying.

Tmf isnt very accurate in many ways but I like to think that one of the main accurate things rosy nailed was the fact that the jomies have been bullies for years and still haven't been (onscreen) punished and not even stopped. You'd think that after middle school to junior year of highschool the school would notice and stop them for good, but guess what! Nope!
