Something or Other

@artemistheartist

I'll name later. Possibly, never. 29 years old. they/them

Every time some fash posts about Real Art vs Duchamp's Fountain it's like lol that urinal has been kicking your ass for a hundred years

Marcel Duchamp kicked the bucket 55 slutty, slutty years ago and you can't get him out of your head. You're half as old as he is dead and you are worshiping at his altar, you are drinking his piss. He won.

you can tell this website is autistic as hell because someone posts a video with a mildly catchy phrase in it and no one shuts up about it for an extended period of time. or image even. image with a mildly catchy phrase in it even. we love phrases here on tumblr dot com love to repeat them. due to the autism

This is the first time someone's pointed something out about the way we behave I didn't even realise and found myself realising they are entirely right

every once in a while im like "lmfao isnt england embarrassed to have a queen" but like the lawyer wig situation is honestly above and beyond that weirdness like what is that. do they make you guy your own wig. is it like harry potter where it chooses you. is it custom. do you go to a judge wig store. how come some wigs dont fit and look like shit

Wait judges wearing wigs isn’t a universal thing? (The monarchy is a shit show we know that). But your judges don’t wear wigs? How do you know they’re the judge then?

We need to bring back antiwar shit I'm so sick of it. When did antiwar fall out of the leftie sphere. We never stopped being at war everybody just kinda forgot it's a bad thing for everyone

There will be self proclaimed leftists on here wholeheartedly agreeing that we should blow up all the russians or whatever and it's so, like. What if everyone just stopped blowing people up actually what if we tried for a moment of goddamn peace in this world. Do you honestly think you can end all of this by just Killing The Bad Guys?? You're as propaganda-rotted as anyone

Also those people who think being anti-military means just fucking hating veterans with 0 nuance. Leftism leaving people's bodies when you tell them not to be ableist to vets. Etc etc

And also the way Barbie and Ken are role playing heterosexuality without any inherent sexuality of their own, without any understanding of what it means, or even any genitals at all! Just pretty-girl + handsome-guy = obviously a couple. And the way it fucks them both up! Because they’re both stereotypes, neither of them is a specialist version, no brain surgery or pilots license or Nobel prize for either of them. They’re just assigned the roles of Every Man and Every Woman. And Ken ends up doing Way Too Much because he’s hanging his entire self-worth on being important to Barbie. And Barbie just isn’t interested in him, she was assigned a boyfriend she didn’t ask for and doesn’t want and doesn’t know what to do with, just because that’s what society expects of men and women, that they will necessarily couple up and fall in love because… that’s what they do. Regardless of any personal quality of either party.

It’s about heteronormativity and amatonormativity and the unrealistic expectations society sets boys and girls up for from infancy. Barbie and Ken are every pair of toddlers sharing a sandbox while the adults around them call them each other’s little “boyfriend” or “girlfriend” even though neither party understands or is capable of understanding the implied meaning of that. Or wants to.

It’s a literal funhouse mirror of that weird pressure put on kids to perform heterosexuality from an early age. It examines how that leaves us unprepared for the complicated reality of actual relationships even if it turns out that you are heterosexual and do want sex and romance. Boys and girls aren’t really allowed to be just kids on the same team, so they grow up into men and women who generally want very different things from each other and are trained to look for it in everybody because anybody is better than nobody, and try to force it to work.

Barbie and Ken letting each other go in the end was perfect. Barbie the Every Woman realizing that she doesn’t have to be special, she just has to be, and Ken the Every Man realizing he has to seek validation elsewhere and lean on his fellow Kens for emotional support, WHICH THEY GIVE.

Truly a movie of all time.
