“sex scenes have no narrative purpose” is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody
“what’s the purpose of sex scenes in media??” well you see sometimes people have sex. sometimes it can be important even

yeah ok but i dont wanna watch straight sex scene number 1231234837582 in the middle of some movie thats clearly not fucking high art or anything, like please, tell me how the sex scene made jason X a deeper movie ill wait
you genuinely think that “the sex scene in Jason X, the movie about jason from Friday the 13th killing people in space, is bad” is a rebuttal to this point? like genuinely? genuinely? like you think that’s the kind of sex scene I was talking about in the original post? you think when I’m talking about the artistic merit of sex scenes in movies you think I’m talking about the bit with the dominatrix in Jason X (2001) dir. James Isaac, the movie where Jason from Friday the 13th gets put in cryosleep and wakes up in the future on a spaceship where he starts killing people in outer space? you genuinely think this is the kind of movie and scene I’m referring to when I’m arguing for the potential artistic value of a type of scene? Jason X? Jason X? the one with Jason on a spaceship? you think that “well Jason X, the movie about Jason on a spaceship killing people in space, is bad” is a rebuttal to my point? Jason X? Jason X? J

who is the ‘real’ you do you think. is it the version of you that exists in your own head. is it the version of you that exists in the head of others. is it the way you are understood and interpreted by those closest to you. is there really an objective true self if no one can objectively perceive it? much 2 think about
i think about this a lot being a person with a ‘public persona’. because i naturally can’t (and don’t necessarily want to) show everyone online the full breadth of who i am as a person, the way i’m perceived by a lot of people oftentimes feels wildly at odds with who i actually am. even just in cute small inconsequential ways! i got a lot of messages being like ‘omg i expected you to have nice handwriting’ which is not a bad or upsetting thing, but is just so interesting to me because i take it as so self-evidently true that i had this school experience of being a neurodivergent kid with illegible handwriting who a lot of teachers did not like, but that part of myself clashes with the public perception of me from a lot of people. or there are people out there who just absolutely fucking hate me and have cast me as representative of a lot of problems, who ascribe beliefs to me that i don’t actually hold. i’ve found myself caring about it a lot less lately, but it’s still interesting to me that there’s this self that exists outside of me, a completely different way i’m perceived than how i actually am. but is how i consider myself ‘how i actually am’ the truth? like… i perceive myself in a particular way, but i certainly can’t be objective about my ‘true self’, right? or am i the only person who can be objective about my ‘true self’ because i’m the only person who has access to my thoughts and my inner world? or is the access to those things just a muddying factor that makes it harder to perceive who i factually am? i guess i’m leaning toward the true self being you as interpreted by your closest loved ones, but it kind of fucks me up that any version of the self, even the self as perceived by your own consciousness, is filtered through some level of interpretation. there’s no such thing as an objective experience of the self, right? who am i to make more definitive claims about who i really am than anyone else who’s known me? it’s wild

okay but they actually had a very calculated disregard for speed limits?
some of the quick facts:
- average speed of 103mph (165kmh) including the 22.5 minutes of refueling - reached cruise speeds of 160mph (258kmh) - 700 horsepower from various upgrades - built-in Net Radar radar detector - windshield-mount Escort Max 360 radar detector - AL Priority laser jammer system - aircraft collision avoidance system (for finding highway patrol aircraft) - brake lights and tail lights disabled - vinyl trim used to make the rear lights resemble a honda accord (and not a race-ready mercedes) - 2 ipads for additional police tracking - 2 GPS systems to prove their record - police scanner - CB radio - 18 spotters along the route to watch for police - and my personal favourite, a roof mounted set of thermal binoculars
And that’s the way to do it.

I’m amazed they were able to beat the old cannonball record
I bothered to look up the source all the way back and some extra facts:
Apparently, they had cops helping keep the other cops away, they did this by convincing them that they would do it regardless and helping would be safer, and if they set a crazy enough record it would deter other people.
The speed discrepancy between the top speed at almost 200 and average speed of 103 is because they dropped it with other cars nearby, which was also a strategy to not get reported and stopped.
It was not a Mercedes it was an Infiniti Q50 modded with a GT-R drivetrain which was set up for multiple drivers with a MIDDLE seat like a McClaren F1? I cannot find pictures unfortunately.
The original interview says they had a fucking smoke screen if they got chased even. Recommended by his therapist apparently?
I think my favorite part was he is agnostic so he prayed to every god just in case. All of them he could find. Just to cover all the bases.

games that i think would be great, but no one will ever make:
lord of the ring ‘farming’ sims
like, the ring has been destroyed, peace has been achieved
sadly, the whole war has left ithilien, the shire, moria, minas morgul, the mirkwood, osgiliath, and tons of other places all across middle earth a dreadful mess
which is the perfect setting for having a random unimportant character go ‘fuck it, now that all the big warriors and heroes have done their job, i’m gonna do mine and plant some fucking flowers here’
and like. rebuild all of the things, and repair stuff, and plant flowers, and just. make all those places the story shows only in ruins be proper, real communities again
like: the player character’s parent is this great amazing warrior, and you just… never got into that, and now the whole war is over, and everyone is all ‘let’s celebrate our heroes’, and gets very… the whole thing fantasy does these days, where war against evil is the main focus, instead of actually living good lives?
and it’s like that scene in the beginning of a lot of farming sims, where the player character is sitting in an office and despairing, but instead it’s some sort of feast where everyone is bragging about how many orcs they killed or something, and also trying to recruit for the army, and it’s really terrible
and the player character just goes ‘nope, i do not want anything to do with this, i’m leaving, this was not what we fought for’
and gets, like, a shovel and a spade and a broom and maybe a pickaxe, and goes to find the nearest ruins left by the war, and starts tidying up
i understand that a lot of the tone of the books stems from some sort of magic is leaving, and the world is moving onwards, and that is just fate, because it’s now the age of the humans, and you know what?
fuck this. that just sounds ridiculous and some weird missing the good old days bullshit. of course it’ll never be the same, but that doesn’t mean it’ll never be good again, if we’re all working towards it together
You are a hobbit. Your name is Junior. it’s the anniversary of your dad’s return from the big hike he went on, the time when all the Big Folk come out to have a party, when your Uncle Frodo’s face looks even more like glass than usual. Sometimes he’s cheered up when the littles ask him for stories, and he tells them of places he’s seen, ruins and vast empty plains where only, occasionally, kingsfoil grows.
“Well why’s that then?” you ask.
“I beg your pardon?” says Uncle Frodo.
“Why hasn’t anyone gone to perk it up a bit?” you say. You’ve been learning a bit from Dad, who can make anything grow. “Why didn’t Dad, when you were passing through?”
“We were on a bit of a schedule,” says Uncle Frodo, and you’re not quite sure what the expression on his face is, but at least it’s there.
“All right, then why didn’t you stop when you were coming back?” you demand. “You had plenty of time then. You didn’t know what was going on in the Shire, and you could have at least - at least -” Your mind is too full of all the things it takes to get a good garden growing. “I thought you said Uncle Merry and Uncle Pippin wanted to help Fangorn find his treewife, I thought they said they were going to do something.”
“You know,” says Uncle Frodo, and now there is definitely a bit of a smile in the corner of his mouth, “You make a good point. Someone really ought to go and follow through on those promises.”
The next morning, there’s a pony and cart waiting for you in front of Bag End. You think that’s a little excessive, until you see the cart is half full of tools and half full of seeds, and you know none of that was Uncle Frodo’s gift.
“Be careful out there,” says Dad, giving you a hug. “Your uncle left you his old sword under the driver’s seat, but…”
“A good whack with a shovel will do for most things,” you finish. “I know, Dad.”
And you pick up the reins and drive east.
I would play the HELL out of a LOTR based game in which you are (player name) Gamgee, setting out to replant the world one flower or fruit tree at a time.

Y’all have to remember people are lying to you online
1000gecs
the person “cooking badly” is faking it so you’ll comment to tell them how dumb they are and increase their engagement. the person who “failed at life” didn’t actually quit their rich person job, they pretended to do so so people online would write posts about them. the person “reuniting with their long-lost dad” didn’t actually find their parent, they were paid to act this out with a logo pointing towards the camera. once you start understanding how marketing has adapted for the digital age, you start realizing how many “natural” viral posts are carefully curated to drive algorithm interest and purchases
Note: does not apply to Tumblr nobodies who are 1) posting about something extremely mundane 2) obviously not selling shit
Typically if there are swear words involved, or the person in question is very public about how much they crave werewolf cock in unambiguous explicit terms, it's not an ad.
people do lie here but nobody profits from it and also its hilarious
Oh people also do lie on tumblr for much worse reasons - anyone remember the hivliving scandal? In which a rich white girl in university claimed to be a Chinese-Pakistani bisexual nonbinary HIV+ human trafficking survivor living in India? Mostly to escape scrutiny for writing a Hamilton AIDS crisis AU fic? While heaping the SAME kind of usually overblown scrutiny and sending the harassment mobs she was trying to avoid onto other authors? And also having a fundraiser up for "medical expenses" she didn't have, that she brought up in the most guilt-trippy way possible? And who ran a blog for HIV+ support, ALLEGEDLY BY HIV+ PEOPLE?
Anyone remember how Back In The Day before the purge we would get 4chan psyops every few months or so "warning" young queer kids that significant subsets of the online queer community were secretly trying to include pedophiles and legalize child molestation, despite the fact that we've been FIGHTING the cishet claim that we include pedophiles for decades?
Have you noticed how many callouts do not contain ANY evidence of the behavior they claim they're about unless you REALLY reach and read someone's words in the most bad-faith way possible?
Tumblr may not be the most profitable site to lie on (even if some people try, see the first example), and sometimes tumblr lies are benign and funny (see: the homestuck cop story) but it is not exempt from malicious liars either.
