The Amazing Criswell

[daisychainsandbowties]

super curious today about how people feel toward the names they might have been given. apparently i used to ask my mom about my “boy name” several times a week and get really sad i couldn’t have both my given name and that name. being trans this is hilarious to me now so wondering

also curious how this intersects with being trans!! i feel like my fixation with it definitely had a lot to do with that, so idk add in tags? if you feel like being trans makes you more/less curious about it

I feel the need to periodically remind people that Idiocracy is a eugenics movie.

One of the things that eugenicists believe is that it is bad for society when the “wrong people” breed.

The entire premise of the movie is that “stupid people” kept having kids while “smart people” didn’t have kids, and it ruined society because stupid genes propagated while smart genes died out. This is eugenics propaganda.

I know people will read this and their response will be “actually it’s satire” but the movie isn’t satirizing eugenics. It’s satirizing anti-intellectualism, and consumerism, and it proposes eugenics as a solution.

When eugenics was first conceived, it was used as a way to justify inequality. The idea was that people who held privilege were able to do so because they were smarter and genetically superior to lazy and stupid people who don’t have privilege. Obviously this is bad and wrong, but it is also the core lesson of Idiocracy.

The movie literally ends with the main character becoming president and having “the smartest children in the world.” Because he and his wife have smarter genes than everyone else. The proposed solution for the things that Idiocracy is satirizing is for the smart people to have children that can be in charge of the world.

I know it’s fun to use this movie to dunk on anti-intellectualism and the MAGA movement, but we need to stop. When you quote and reference this movie you are spreading eugenics propaganda.

i think we should extend the concept of "false prophet" to other occult and theological figures. like false saint. false angel. false martyr. etc.

ally confirming in the adventuring party that kristen still wants to be a cleric and still a follower of cassandra is both comforting and sad. there’s been speculation abt kristen switching to monk/sorcerer/etc and while that would be really interesting narratively, it would sort of throw the last three episodes of sophomore year out the window in doing so.

i also think this last episode mirrors/reaffirms her commitment (in that she opted to allow cassandra to turn their anger onto her willingly), hence the comforting aspect of her keeping her class. but it is really sad bc as ally said: it’s not that kristen’s not caring, but she’s truly disorganized and so young. in a perfect world someone else would have been cassandra’s prophet, and kristen could just be a normal cleric of cassandra.

the unique role she’s in now, as cass’s sole follower AND prophet, is so similar to the life she left behind as helio’s “chosen one” that i can’t imagine it WOULDN’T be triggering. in a way she’s been almost set up to fail.

MC, upon seeing the Frollo statue: If I experience ANY dreams with this man in them, I'm setting this town on fire.

Rollo: You needn't worry, I have that covered.

MC: What?

Rollo: Hm?

Happy Ides of March to all who celebrate

I've talked about if before but it's a frustrating thing that ppl get caught up on with asexuality where they think asexuality just equals "doesn't want sex" instead of actually understanding that it's about attraction.

It's a sexuality for a reason, and being asexual doesn't dictate anything else about a person, neither their libido or fictional interests or anything. It simply means not being sexually attracted to people, and the specifics vary from person to person.

One of my favourite moments from watching NPMD with my friends was that one of them always managed to time their questions awfully to the point it was accidental perfect comedic timing.

The funniest one was when Dan Reynolds came on screen and they asked ‘who is that’ and I kid you not Joey sang the iconic ‘I am Dan Reynolds’ line the moment they finished speaking
