i never knew much about flanagan's horror stuff because i got the ick for no apparent reason and avoided it like the plague, but changing the final line from Hill House to "whatever walked there, walked together" should raise Shirley Jackson from her grave to strangle the motherfucker

like i only heard about that recently due to the carrie shitshow but its um, the only way i can describe it is as "gross". that's a gross thing to do to the Haunting of Hill House, man. don't do that.

It’s honestly really triggering for me that once again, in the aftermath of people finding out a man who is a beloved public figure committed sex crimes in his past, the conversation has to immediately shift into how and when the guy can return to the status quo he was in

I don’t know what restorative justice looks like in a case like this. I don’t know what it means to hold someone accountable. But I do know how painful it is to see someone admit to doing sexual violence against someone else and a crowd of people immediately rush to minimize it as a youthful mistake

I was seeing well respected accounts on here, less than an hour after he admitted it, trying to lecture others on how problematic it is to be upset towards him about it and how it’s best to move on and believe he’s truly better now and like… we just found out! Nobody has had time to process it yet!

“It was a long time ago” “it was a one time thing” “it’s clear he feels remorse” “it’s not worth ruining his whole life over something like this” “what if what he did wasn’t even that bad” “people deserve second chances” these are the same defenses every victim hears about their abuser. every time

I don’t know. I don’t fucking know. Right now I just think it’s more important to keep things focused on how systemically fucked it is that someone can admit to sexual abuse and deal with only a semester suspension versus whether a guy should still be able to make online content without pushback

I feel like this is a thing that happens when minorities/Outsiders™️ embrace their opposition to the expectations of normative culture but then just... live there. It becomes memes, and the memes become their own rigid stereotypes. this is not actual diversity, just more boxes

i dislike the whole project but his paintings have always overwhelmingly struck me as NAIVE in a way that he doesnt seem to intend-- he's treating the illo as lowbrow and authorless and making a joke of putting it into Fine Art, but all i can see is man this fucker had no grasp of drawing at all lol

I'd never seen this Roy Lichtenstein painting before, but it's incredible how he manages unfailingly to make his copies worse than the original comics he's ripping off.

ME: *writing in my journal with the sole aim of pissing off future historians and archaeologists* I returned to my home - which is built in the usual style - by the normal way, and prepared and ate dinner in the way I often but not always do

"theyre just GIVING these poor girls testosterone" actually even after you have the prescription you have to hound people nonstop to get them to actually send your prescription to the pharmacy every month and you have to do this forever until you die

The trans artist barely scraping by on itch io is making the art you want but they don't have the budget of a small country to work with so you turn your nose up at it and beg for scraps from the war crimes corporation
