The Surreal Nonsense You Wish To See In The World

so guys turns out that being raised by queer people alienates me from the queer experience. probably not a good thing

i genuinely have not experienced most of the "defining" moments yall talk about.

i never came out to my parents because my parents never assumed i was cishet.

i never did an "am i gay?" quiz because i knew the answer didn't matter, really.

i never "found out" about trans people, my parent has identified as gender neutral my entire life.

i never cried or even felt any big emotions when i found out i was queer. it was just like huh. cool.

my point here is not that i'm sad about having grown up in a queer-friendly enviroment. my point is that the fact that i don't relate to queer experiences as a queer person might imply that we still define queerness based on suffering.

i'm not saying that queer people who have suffered should stop talking about it. all i'm really saying is that if you want to define queerness based on joy instead of misery, you have to accept that queerness is not a big deal to everybody. you have to accept that not every queer person is going to relate to "queer experiences".

At the end of the day, that ^, feels like what a lot of us have been fighting for. A world were it is no big deal. And I'm so happy someone has already gotten to experience that.

This really makes the Studios costing themselves even more money (and getting more unions involved) by prolonging the strike for the promise of free ai labor even more fucking funny. you dumb fucking bastards lol

I personally said the same thing when AI art was first really taking off. Oh and you can thank PETA for this.

For those that don’t know, there’s a semi-famous story of a wildlife photographer who had her camera stolen by some monkeys she was taking pictures of. When she got her camera back, she discovered one of the monkeys had taken a selfie, and she published the image in a journal as a “look what happened” kind of story. PETA, being the insufferable waste they are, took it upon themselves to sue the photographer, claiming that because the Monkey took the picture, the monkey owns the copyright and thus the photographer was not allowed to publish it. The courts ruled this whole thing stupid and that now art can only be considered protected by copywrite if it was made by a human. So, this “only made by humans” ruling could easily apply to AI as well, meaning Hollywood is gonna screw themselves over if they try to replace their writers with bots.

Denying a trans reading of Scott Pilgrim not because I don't see it but because if Scott was an egg and Ramona was a trans woman then there'd be no fucking way she'd be adhering to the prime directive this fucking hard whenever he says some egg shit. Scott would talk about his hair or go on about how he wishes he was a lesbian and her face would contort like a deflating basketball from the relatable cringe of it all

Kim: you can't say anything. you know how this works, she has to figure it out herself.

Ramona: you don't understand, she's been so bad lately. I don't know if I can take this any longer.

Scott, entering the room: hey have you girls seen my big jacket, the one that doesn't make me hate myself so much? wonder why it does that. anyway, I'm gonna go play DND with Roxie, she said it was girls only so Wallace couldn't come but for some reason she invited me anyway, lol. I'm thinking about playing a cool knight lady, just for variety. anyway bye!

Ramona: *looks at Kim*

Kim: dear god

The thing is that this is a setting where the Vegan Police is real, so chances are that the Prime Directive is probably being enforced by a high council of trans girls

The moment Ramona tries to tell Scott she gets interrupted by a cat girl speedrunner no clipping into the room and sucker punching her

Okay you know what that's actually a solid argument that's consistent with the series' internal logic

While trying to get more context for a footnote, I stumbled upon an even more delightful tidbit, which is that a scientist in the 1960s decided to try to make a substance for spaceflights that could function either as building material or emergency rations. The mixture included powdered milk, cornstarch, flour, banana flakes, and hominy grits and was baked in a hydraulic press under 3000 pounds of pressure. It could be cut and drilled and was harder than Masonite. If you soaked it for several hours allegedly it tasted like breakfast cereal. To the shock of no one, this did not pan out. However I demand a scifi show where a crew gets stranded and immediately starts eating the furniture.

Having made hardtack and K2 ration biscuits, this does not shock me in either aspect.

I know in the deadpool movies even though we haven't seen wolverine yet we Know he and wade have met through the x-men but like personally I think the funniest option for deadpool 3 is if it's revealed he doesn't exist in their universe at all wade only knows about him from his 4th wall powers and he talks about him so much the rest of the main characters just assume he's wade's boyfriend. like logan falls through a multiverse tear and everyone immediately is on him like omg it's so nice to finally meet you!!! we've heard so much about you!! and being overly friendly vanessa has fully made them matching shirts he's like lead into a room to discover a full wedding set up with wade at the end of the aisle waiting for him colossus is playing here comes the bride on the organ and logan is fully crying like please who the fuck are you people

wade is in a wedding gown over his deadpool outfit (we don't know it's him until the veil is dramatically lifted to reveal his mask) and professor x is there to officiate (he is being held at gun point)

okay so he IS multiverse traveling in this movie. this can still happen. ryan please.

You roll up to the Wizard Battle and your opponent takes out his spellbook but it’s just one of these

I'd leave. This is a sign that my opponent has the most fucked up unethical spells imaginable, and I am not about to be subject to Malchezar's Piercing Prostate Bomb or something
