In 2012, rapper Pitbull's promotion with Walmart promised a visit to the store with the most Facebook likes. Internet users, led by writer David Thorpe, campaigned to send him to the most remote U.S. Walmart in Kodiak, Alaska. Pitbull honored his commitment, performed there, and invited Thorpe to join him.

the notion that queer men can be flamboyantly theatrical, perform in drag, even occasionally refer to themselves with female pronouns, and nevertheless willfully uphold and enforce patriarchal norms, would have been a well worn complaint in any given 1970s lesbian collective, and yet
#the show is not remotely subtle about how Lestat occupies the role of patriarch in his family#so this quarterly discourse has forced me to realise how few people understand the concept of intersectionality#or perhaps selectively don't when that conflicts with their projection of what the show represents to them or what they want it to be#one of the worst things about this discourse is that it makes a lot of actual interesting discussion incredibly difficult to approach#like what Lestat's somewhat antiquated gender performance suggests about his notion of time and immortality#or how Louis and Lestat falling back on patriarchal notions adds to the motif of the vampires recreating the same cycles that oppress them#or the intrigue and fascination Lestat's gender performance may have for Louis#maybe one day I will have the strength to try anyhow#Lestat de Lioncourt#Interview with the Vampire#Jagged Jottings

joked on main yesterday morning about how channeling dennis helped me write an email to an employer, but i got a call back a few hours later and i think it may have taken it even further and secured me a sickass job. unfortunately, us winners always win.
#im fairly sure i got the job this interview seems like a complete formality#thanks king. confidence is key or whatever even if it feels like you're performing autofellatio#this also means. i will most likely be employed again in time for season 17. which#i was joking about how the reason i was So insane about 16 was because i had a 40 hr work week and couldnt spend all day and night sunnying#ready for the insanity again baby#its remote work though i wont be sweating my ass off in a welding lab for 8 hours a day <333#what writing thousands of words of dennis reynolds' grade A delusional bullshit self talk does to a mfer#ada speaks#its a writing job. btw. so like. 💀 hello sir did you want a sample. please enjoy this article titled 'dennis reynolds' on the sunny wiki#i was debating sending in a sample of a really thorough style guide i penned for a game expansion mod i made but i chickened out#chickened out because it was Clearly geared toward writing gay romance routes for a 10 yr old nintendo game BDKSBDJF

ever think about how when louis was asking armand to witness madeleine's turning, he was basically inviting him into the family by asking him to attend his daughter's wedding/hold his hand in the delivery room. and when armand essentially replies "i will not go unless you force me to" he tells him he doesn't have to and reassures him. and then what goes on in their respective heads in that exact moment are:
louis: oh damn the maitre stuff is not just a sex thing he actually like can't hold a conversation like a human being. oh but he's so sad... there there loser boyfriend... why does nobody ever want to have babies with me :/
armand: *has just sentenced louis to death*
#when i first watched this moment it was with 'armand orchestrated the trial to get rid of claudia' goggles on#so i took this moment to be like “oh even if he's not going to order me to watch he'll still go through with it and that's almost as bad”#“he's doing it bc he'll always choose claudia over me claudia has to go”#but looking back on it with the s2 finale canon#i wonder whether armand would have actually preferred if louis HAD tried to press the issue#using the arun/maitre dynamic?#bc in retrospect it seems like louis in that moment feels so remote to him because louis is responding like a partner#like a person with his own life who wants armand to share that life with him#and it licherally doesn't compute to him#whereas if louis had responded by playing into the d/s dynamic they would have been on armands playing field#and so no matter how terrifying the 'order' or how much armand psychologically seems to need to believe that his submission is genuine#if louis had chosen to be maitre armand would have stayed secure in his control over him#also okay jacob anderson's performance here is crazyy#the touch of exasperation when he's like okay. alright.#like both comforting and sooo tired of not being able to talk to this dude like a person#and the heartbreak in assad's eyes... performances of all time#interview with the vampire#iwtv#loumand

every time i rewatch the miracle aligner music video i am just flabbergasted. FLABBERGASTED. like. they really chose to make it like THAT. and by 'like THAT' i am specifically referring to:
1) “an attempt to extract the truth... approximately" *cue rosepetals and intense eye contact*
2) THIS being the opening shot of the two of them
3) miles legitimately spending the first minute of the entire video blatantly checking alex out
4) literal rainbow lighting around them
5) endless hand holding and twirling
6) that moment where miles's hand reaches ever so reflexively for alex's neck
7) the fucking closing scene?????????
#i mean seriously#jesus fucking christ#you'd think i'd be immune to this mv by now but if anything it just gets worse every time i watch it#absolute INSANITY#also don't even get me started on their dorky little coordinated mating dance#and the fact that they probably practised it themselves messing about in dressing rooms or one of their living rooms or something#also#incredulousness aside for a moment#i love this video so much for how much fun they're clearly having the whole way through#like how much it's just *them* messing about and being their idiotic selves with each other#but yeah#i'll never be remotely normal about the fact they planned and performed and approved literally every moment of insanity here#i mean for real#there's just no way they didn't know exactly what they were doing with this#milex#miracle aligner#milex gifs#tlsp#the last shadow puppets#lulu posts#my gifs

re: previous song. i miss playing the violin [said with full awareness that i was always complete garbage at it because i lacked discipline]
#almost everyone in my hs string orchestra was garbage bc no one ever practiced. except maybe the bassists and a few cellists?#but i was first violin most of the time because. idk. i'm good at reading music??#what i ACTUALLY miss is the person who could do performing arts in general#started getting stage fright end of hs senior year and it got bad enough i couldn't even do class presentations in college.#not sure why but i can't perform anymore#no poetry open mics even. but in hs i did that and choir and orchestra and theatre. :(#anyyyyyyyways i do also just miss being able to play the violin. i don't think i could make it sound remotely listenable now#txt

Am going to see a production of the lightning thief and it’s so interesting to me how the soundtrack is such a fundamentally different story to the book. It’s so character driven, with only slightly more than half the official songs actually communicating any plot at all. 8 are dedicated almost entirely to lore and character motivation. It’s not even that the musical is unfaithful on a technical level (though again, I’ve only listened to the soundtrack), but emotional focus is incredibly amplified. This obviously is largely because musical theatre is a largely emotional medium, but it can’t just be that.
The second song pretty much just explains Sally’s character and the impact it has on Percy. The campfire song is pure setup for the series conflict and context for Luke’s betrayal.There are 2 I want songs!! Both of which aren’t redundant at all. Grover has a song explaining the backstory that the lightning thief as a story is a response to. Another terrible day is somewhat explaining what camp half blood is but mainly just establishing the character of Dionysus. While the last day of summer is of course where the reveal happens, it’s mainly about Luke’s resentment.
The plot simply isn’t that important, which is honestly not the way I’d think a stand alone musical based on a book that while characters were pretty reliant on their continued progression, the plot itself pretty much stood on its own if you mildly demphasize Kronos.
#tlt#the lightning thief#tlt musical#the lightning thief musical#pjo#I want it to be clear this is not a criticism#a musical is more than just the music#and tlt is not remotely fully sung through#I obviously haven’t seen the actually performance#and as someone who does actually know the plot even without the soundtrack being very clear#I do like it

I don't care if I can afford it, I'm not fucking paying that.
(if you're a nintendo advertiser or their social media person the blue text is for you. hands off and fuck off.)
#my post#“what about the digital-'' I AM NOT PAYING 80 FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A DIGITAL FILE THAT CAN BE REMOTELY DELETED#AND I'M NOT PAYING A $10 PHYSICAL MEDIA TAX FOR A GAME THAT WOULD /STILL/ NEED A DOWNLOAD TIME#LET ALONE FOR GAMES THAT ARE EVER MORE LIKELY TO BE UNOPTIMIZED AND RUN AT 30FPS ON THE “LOWEST'' SETTINGS#LET ME RUN YOUR IP ON A POTATO AND THEN WE'LL TALK PRICES#“the point of a console is to have preset specs that don't need to be custom-'' i dont fucking care. they don't care. pokemon scar-vi.#you look at the performance quality on that game and tell me they believe in optimization.

(Mini vent in tags sorry)
#thirsting post aside mk11 shang tsung is fun to play even if you don't know how to play#mortal kombat#shang tsung#shang tsung mortal kombat#💚heart and soul🐍#fr tho shang tsung in mk11 is far more enjoyable than mk12/mk1 shang tsung simply because of tagawa's performance#and the fact is alan lees shang tsung while fun and unique he's not a young tagawa he is his own damn person stop comparing him#alan lee stated he doesn't want to be compared to tagawa so plz stop saying he's a young tagawa#they don't sound alike alan lee has the smug infliction but its heavily exaggerated and lighter toned#cary hiroyuki tagawa's shang tsung in the mk 95 movie and him younger has a deeper tone and pitch#listen actually carefully to both of them and their performance they sound nothing alike#people who say that alan Lee's shang sounds like a young tagawa is delusional to themselves into thinking that the game is remotely good#that or they want tagawa back but they don't wanna admit that for some reason#like guys it's ok to like alan lees shang without comparison to tagawa#stop trying to say they sound alike#i swear people be parroting shit they see on x or yt comments ugh#but anyways have shang tiddies enough of my venting#mk11 shang tsung#mk11#mortal kombat 11#mortal kombat 11 shang tsung

*whispers* would it be controversial of me to say that it's potentially possible to read eddie diaz's specific relationship to masculinity in a closeted way, but in terms of gender, not just sexuality
#eddie diaz#911 show#and by that i mean like trans woman or nonbinary eddie#i've seen a number of trans dude buck fics#but i'd genuinely love to see someone writing a trans eddie fic#i'm not the right person to pull it off successfully though#i'm not REMOTELY saying this is on purpose or that the show has even a snowball's chance in hell of going there#but look: the man is growing a moustache he clearly hates while undergoing an emotional crisis#& most of his problems are from attempting to performatively go through life fulfilling the roles of traditional masculinity#while often having somewhat unhealthy/uncomfortable relationship with intimacy#and he grew up in a repressive catholic environment and then was in the army#the vibes are possible i'm just saying

Crazy rough day today. Just trying to breathe through it. Thank fuck I have therapy tonight. Thank fuck I accepted an offer for help.
#there's been a lot going on this summer but like#my mom's getting a portion of her lung removed as we speak#my dog is dying#and I'm stuck here with Bean passed tf out in my lap#being forced to perform capitalism#by using my laptop to remote into my computer upstairs#which would be nicer if it wasn't a Mac remoting into a PC.#the shortcuts are fucked#also I'm running on maybe 3h of sleep and keep randomly nodding off#we are Thriving. clearly.

See I think if I'd been born a guy I wouldn't be this pathologically avoidant trying to plan my career because there are plenty of situations you can find as a cis man where you just Do Tasks in awkward silence and you can get to those as a woman but you have to go through the rings of hell socializing first and then besides, a lot of those jobs already have so many men that you stand out when the whole point was you Don't want to do that
#you gotta be god's strongest soldier to survive this shit and i am not! i am god's weakest most pathetic soldier!#i survived five years of customer service crying weekly and getting harassed and being a baby about it#when i got promoted no one would listen to me and it made me constantly anxious and then so tired it took me a year to be able to#think about having a job as something remotely positive and stop crying about it#idk how other women are doing this shit a guy treats me like his sexy servant and i feel BAD and upset for years#and think of what he said 7 years later and they only touched me on the shoulder and made comments other people go through worse!#but i am not strong or determined i just want to go through my life in peace and stop talking to people altogether#it wasn't just guys who treated me badly older women made fun of me and called me lazy and stupid#tutoring was fine but i felt like i was putting on that same performance and at that point it all felt so awful i just. didn't want to#i can see no way out of talking to people for the rest of my life and it gets me down sometimes#i know i get to come home but even then i will probably need people to live with#i basically only like my family and close friends talking to me sometimes even that is hard#sometimes it's way easier to type and feels less awful#i think i have to just keep on keeping on until i can finally get good enough to freelance edit and code that's the only thing i can think#of doing that doesn't make me cry#emails are fine they suck but i don't have to control my face and tone so.

Can everyone shut the fuck up about DD2 microtransactions and talk about the dogshit optimization which is the actual issue with the game? Stable 30 is impossible even on min potato settings on the vast majority of hardware from the last 5 years.
^DD1 enjoyer who can't fucking play DD2
#it absolutely deserves the shit review scores for the performance alone even though I know the game itself is good#i dont know how anyone at capcom thought the cpu bottlenecking was remotely acceptable

man diablo 4 expansion story sucked so much ass it's impossible to believe that any of the same writers were involved at all
#vivi original#its so performatively faux-progressive it tempts one to call it “woke”#despite nearly throwing up using remotely the same words as those kind of people#diablo 4#diablo 4 vessel of hatred

What kind of work gives you 300 holidays.. How does Carmen "work" and attend every single race including press days and is on vacation with her bf every two weeks?! She just returned from vacation and is already at the paddock, when does she even work. Everything about George and Carmen is so fake I can't 😭
girlbossing is a state of mind and when you wear a crisp white shirt and pencil skirt. i enjoy george and carmen cause they both perform the aspirational posh f1 driver/corporate girlie, london homeowners at 20 future landlord pinterest aesthetic. it's camp
#she could be working remote and doing all that but I mostly enjoy the highly curated ig performance. they're soulmates#wags#blorbocedes ask
