Knives Out as a Vintage Murder Mystery Book Series?

Months later, I am still wildly obsessed with the Knives Out movie series, and I cannot wait for the next part to come out. The movies have such a vintage murder mistery novel vibe that it gave me an idea to make it like that, including actual insides of the imagined books (even added the producers little signature). Hope you like it as much as I liked making it. I made it months ago, but forgot to place it on Tumblr. Can’t wait for Part 3

“are you afab or amab” “are you tme or tma” do you guys remember the era of the internet where one of the biggest queer memes was about not telling people what the fuck is in your pants because it’s no one’s fucking business. can we PLEASE go back to that.

Thinking about jinx keeping her hair long so she knows time has passed since vi left. Time feels so slow and so quick at the same time, she needs to look behind her and see the inches of blue that dangle from her scalp and remember the length they used to be kept at. Because Vis job was cutting and braiding her hair, clipping her bangs and now that shes gone she watches it grow, and grow, and grow under her absence.

Someone tagged a picture of Tommy with “this cat has the most heinous rancid vibe and it’s freaking me out” and it’s so funny because it’s so true. I love her. She loves me. She’s my best friend. I live with this animal. She radiates hatred and malcontent always. You can feel her presence when she walks in a room. She’s not a nightmare evil cat or anything, she’s just a normal cat that has atrocious vibes that she always puts off, like radiation. It’s probably why her mom abandoned her.

imagine being a newborn and not passing the vibe check

#1 thing I notice trans people forget to change after just a social name change is their voicemail recording!

You know, it occurs to me that the known internet phenomenon of Reddit “am I the asshole?” posts having completely misleading headers is actually a really great example of a far less known but far more common practice of extreme journalistic spin in cases where there are large monetary incentives to diminish the story in question.

Like, if you see a Reddit post titled “Am I the asshole for buying my wife a new dress?”, the post is pretty much always something totally deranged like: “I (48) really dislike the way my wife (20) dresses, because I think it’s too revealing and makes her look slutty, which was fine when we started dating five years ago, but it makes me feel like she’s going to cheat on me now that we’re married. I’ve politely asked her to get new clothes multiple times, and every time she refused because she said she liked her clothes, and didn’t want to waste money buying new ones. Yesterday I couldn’t take it anymore so I threw out a bunch of her old dresses and bought her a new one that was more modest looking. She started crying because one of the dresses I threw out had been left to her by her mom who died when she was a teen, but I couldn’t have known that it had sentimental value. She said that I should have asked, but obviously if I asked she’d have just told me not to throw out any of her clothes, including the ones that weren’t sentimental. Also, the more modest dress I bought was pretty expensive, and she never thanked me for it. Am I the asshole here, or is she being unreasonable?”

Similarly, whenever you see a headline like “Woman Wins Millions From McDonald’s Because Her Hot Coffee Was Too Hot”, if you dig a bit, you’ll almost always quickly find out that what actually happened was: A 79-year-old ordered coffee which, unbeknownst to her, was being served extremely dangerously hot, because McDonald’s was trying to have coffee that stayed warm over a long commute without spending any extra money on cups with better insulation. The coffee spilled on the old woman’s lap, giving her severe third degree burns over a huge portion of her body, including her genitals. She got to a hospital and they managed to save her life with skin grafting, but she became disabled from the accident, and her genitals and thighs were permanently disfigured. She tried to settle with McDonald’s for her medical costs, and McDonald’s refused to cover any portion of her medical expenses at all, and so she sued. At trial, the jury discovered that this same exact thing had happened seven hundred times before, and McDonald’s had still decided not to change their policy because paying out individual suits was cheaper than moderately reducing their coffee profits. As a result, the jury awarded punitive damages designed to penalize McDonald’s two days worth of their coffee profits, in addition to the woman’s medical costs.

I think it’s largely the same phenomenon, but I know a lot of people who are familiar with the first case, but don’t know to look for the second. If you see some totally outrageous “how could a person ever sue over this stupid thing?” case, you should immediately be incredibly suspicious that that’s all that actually happened, because a lot of the time, it absolutely isn’t. The people who have the most incentive to make their opponent look not only wrong, but completely crazy for having any sort of grievance at all, are often the actually unreasonable ones. 

Anyway this is all to say that if I see ANY of y’all automatically siding with McDonald’s over the recent case where 4-year-old girl was severely burned by their chicken nuggets because “hurr durr dumb kid didn’t know that chicken nuggets were hot, people sue over anything lol”, I will grab that McBoot you’re licking and shove it all the way up your McFuckingAss.

lawyer fun fact! sometimes you need to sue someone before your insurance will pay for your medical bills (because your insurance would rather the other person pay for your medical bills so they don’t have to)! sometimes you need to sue because what you’d get from insurance isn’t enough to pay for all of your medical bills! sometimes you want to change a specific thing, like a dangerous practice or defective part, and that’s not going to happen if you just ask nicely!

most truly ridiculous lawsuits get screened before they’re even filed (because someone goes to an attorney and that attorney is like “yeah you don’t have a case here”) or very shortly after they’re filed (because judges can toss out cases that have zero merit). 99% of the time, if it sounds ridiculous but somehow it went all the way to someone suing and winning in a jury trial, it probably wasn’t actually as absurd as it sounds.

tell you what though it’s really really enjoyable when you feel your brain slipping towards increasingly detached fanonbrain interpretations of a character (because as much as i bitch about it i think we’re all susceptible to forgetting from time to time that the version of our blorbo who lives in our heads is filtered through layers of personal analysis and projection and sanding over certain fragments of personality for the sake of a gag or a good old fashioned whump rp) and you go back to the source material and you’re like ah!! THAT’S what my precious little guy is actually like!! it’s such a ludicrously satisfying and reinvigorating feeling. it’s like getting new glasses. replacing the broken screen protector on your phone. waking up after a cold and your nose is unblocked for the first time in a week. when you’ve done laundry and you put on your a list outfit for the first time in a hot minute. refamiliarising yourself with source material is a PLEASURE it’s like doing a factory reset on your blorbo thoughts and if you commit yourself to permanent and remorseless fanon brain you are missing out on a supreme brain-itching joy
