Gem and Pearl staring lovingly into each others eyes and Pearl sighs dreamily and says “your eyes are so beautiful… like pickles” and gem kills her instantly

okay so i need to think thoughts about the s3 episode titles somewhere that isn't the gc (sorry besties ily all) and so here we go!!!

ep 1 - no notes. the conclusion to the s2 ending. can't wait to have my heart hurt a little <3

ep 2 - my mind immediately thinks of christine for some reason. like, i don't think it's possible between hegemonic and ep 2 that she's already met roger and gets hitched. weirder things have happened. this could also have something to do with t'pring, maybe, bc they've already played a little bit with her relationship with spock. could be totally unrelated to the crew too WAIT AS IM TYPING THIS SAM???? SAM KIRK MAYBE??? but also. yeah, could be unrelated to the crew marrying someone and its just shenanigans

ep 3 - makes me think of gallileo 7 (seven? i can't remember if the number is written out or not). so maybe some sort of accident? uhura focus?

ep 4 - this is going to be our holodeck shenanigans episode. i feel it in my bones. obviously i could be wrong! but i do remember asking christina and ethan if s3 had a fun episode like elysian kingdom and subspace rhapsody, and im pretty certain they said yes and it was in the first half of the season so.... plus the name makes it sound like a variety show kinda thing (and also makes me think of spn's changing channels ep) so.... im so confident in this (can't wait to be wrong <3)

ep 5 - la'an episode? idk this one is harder to place for me, i don't really have any true thoughts yet, outside of maybe la'an given her ep in s2 OR they'll play around with ab episode like city on the edge of forever

ep 6 - hopefully something fun BUT also has the potential to be heartbreaking. spock related? visiting Vulcan? im so interested

ep 7 - i feel like this is gonna be our Big Emotional episode. like there's still opportunity for all of them to be emotional, but this is gonna be it. maybe emotional isn't the right word. maybe Philosophical is the better fit. yeah, i think so. maybe something to do with una again, but also maybe chris and his place in it? i feel pretty confident about this one too

ep 8 - s'chnn t'gai family drama. sybok mention. probably sarek, sybok, t'pring, spock related. it could be unrelated ofc but the half in four and a half made me think of spock immediately and we know sybok has been hinted at in s1. it would also be very fun to see angel again <3

ep 9 - potential philosophical episode again? makes me think of carol's terraforming tbh, and she's also been named dropped so maybe something to do with that??

ep 10 - honestly my first thought was oh this is gonna be chris' accident. there's no reason for me to think this, and honestly, i think they would save that until the final season. we know we're getting a s4 and i think it would be stupid to give jim captaincy at this point. maybe we'll be introduced to another member of the tos crew (give me bones please) but i see this as just another episode, definitely going to lead into s4

are any of these good thoughts? eh! but i need to write it all down so i can point and laugh at myself once the series airs <3

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

remmick and the vampires present a false dichotomy

Hogwood (the man who sold the twins the mill) and the KKK are very obviously bad, they are outright malicious bigotry, they use the n-word and plan to lynch the moore's and their community, they are so blatantly racist and hateful it's unavoidably obvious

remmick and the vampires however say that they believe in equality, say that they want to create a community, and yet remmick's goal throught the movie is to both metaphorically and literally steal sammie's ability for his own goal of reconnecting with his irish ancestors, a white man wants to harm a young and upcoming black man and use talents for his own goals without giving any regard to said black man's autonomy or agency

when sammie sings 'I lied to you' in the juke joint and calls forth the spirits from the past and future, it's a blend of cultures; west african, east asian, native american, and african american song and dance blend together across time and space to tell the stories of blues; where it takes its inspiration from, the music genres it then inspired, the complex history of black american culture and its intersections with other peoples of colour in the USA

when remmick and the vampires kill and turn the people in the juke joint, and then perform rocky road to dublin, only remmick's irish culture is on display, there is no influence from the black and asian people he has forcibly assimilated into his song, it's juxtaposition with the earlier scene is blatant, remmick is more than happy to assimilate people of colour into his 'community' of 'equals', and yet its only whiteness that is celebrated, that is normative

remmick claims that he's doing people a favour by turning them immortal, conviently ignoring that he literally has to suck the life out of them to do so, trapping their spirits on earth, he claims that he's the good guy, that the KKK were gonna come and lynch everyone at the joint in the morning anyways, conviently ignoring that he's doing the exact same thing; a white man leading a mob to kill a bunch of black people

in the final confrontation with sammie remmick repeatedly dunks him into the river, a forceful baptism. both the celtic irish and enslaved west africans had their religions suppressed and destroyed by colonialsm, had christianity forced upon them by the british empire, and in that scene we see remmick repeating that cycle, using christianity to inflict harm, and sammie reclaiming christianity, despite all the complex emotions he has arround it, as many colonised peoples have and still do, when he recites the lord's prayer

remmick and the vampires are no less racist than hogwood and the KKK, are no less predatory or evil, they're just less blantant about their bigotry, they represent the system, the normalised white supremacy that is seeped into the very foundation of culture in america, the point isnt that remmick would call any of the black characters in the movie the n-word, i dont think he would, the point is that his exploitation and desacration and inserting-himself-into-when-he-wasn't-invited of the juke joint is a microcosm of what white people have done to black american arts and culture since ever since there have been black and white people in america, and even before that

theres a reason vultures are shown early on in this movie

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:

Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.

So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:

fucking her from behind as you pound into her like you’re manhandling a wild animal, thrusts uncoordinated, grabbing a fistful of her hair and her head back to make her look at herself in front of the mirror, drool dripping from the side of her mouth as all she could mumble is subconscious giggles.

now thats a need.

this is wlw, men dni

i didnt know you were allowed to do things for the sake of wanting to do things. i thought you were just supposed to keep that locked inside your ribcage and let it rot you inside out until youre limping around as the desiccated corpse of who you could have been
