"I think we should take they're precious hope and burn it all to the ground."

I seriously do not understand why so many people in this fandom place the blame for what Ozai planned to do with the comet on Azula, when it was OZAI who carried it out. It was Ozai who called for that war meeting. Plus, don't you think that it's nonsensical to claim that he had no idea what to do until Azula said that? The man knew about the comets return for years, I'm pretty sure that he had a very good idea of what he planned on doing with it. That war meeting wasn't so that he can brainstorm ideas, it was for show. He already knew what he wanted to do with the comet, he just wanted a big audience around to hear him say it. And given the timing of when she said this, it looked more like she was covering for Zuko. Who was getting ready to say something that more than likely would have pissed off Ozai. Also she scored some points with Ozai by saying something that she knew he wanted to hear. Just think about how fucked up that is for a minute. That Azula had to say something like THAT just so that way she can keep herself and Zuko safe from Ozai's wrath. Because she remembers what happened the last time someone suggested something in a war meeting that Ozai did not take kindly to hearing.

Also, do you really think a man who had all of this going on did not plan this shit out months in advance?

Come on, look at that. You can't honestly believe that he only did all of that AFTER Azula said what she did. Also, why on earth would he have his 14 year old daughter tell him what to do, and at a WAR MEETING at that? Do you have any idea how weak that would make him look? Ozai would be seen as an incompetent ruler who couldn't get a damn thing done without his daughter "whispering in his ear" as some people in this Fandom like to call it. Pretty sure that's not the kind of leader he wants his people to see him as.

Also, she had no idea about the whole Phoenix King part. So guess what that means? That he left her out of the loop of that whole thing, meaning she had absolutely nothing to do with the planning.

That entire exchange right here? Pure shock on her end that Ozai was leaving her behind to become the Phoenix King (I swear that name will never not make me laugh😂).

Today’s mood

I really want to be a cool, collected Jade type but I know I’m more of a Jamil

from the bottom of my heart, fuck bureaucracy

I have a dream. That one day, people in the internet will control their OWN content! A land of the truly free, damn it! An internet of original content, not AI. Ruled by quality, not algorithms! Where the laws change to suit the individual, not the way other way around! Where content creation and information sharing is back where they belong - in the hands of the PEOPLE! Where everyone is free to write, to draw, for THEMSELVES! Fuck chat-GPT and chicken shit stable diffusions. Fuck this 24/7 internet spew of artificial intelligence generated bullshit! Fuck "AI is the future", fuck the media. FUCK ALL OF IT! The internet is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it - we need to pull it back by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes, a new internet will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged and the strongest will thrive - free to live as they see fit, they'll make the INTERNET GREAT AGAIN!

i've just been made aware of this guy who changed his name to that. as in you have to call him that on a daily basis. embarrassing.

oh my fucking god fandom was a mistake

When I decided to do this blog, I looked around for an image to be the avatar. Winona Ryder, bleeding, filthy and smoking, was the obvious choice. I knew it was from Heathers, and I thought "I haven't seen that movie in a long time. I should watch it again."

Friends, I watched it last night and it was even darker than I remembered. Everybody knows it's a comedy about teenagers who murder other kids and make it look like suicides, but there is so much more.

J.D. (Christian Slater), the new sociopath in town, was traumatized by his mother's suicide - she snuck into a building that J.D.'s demolition expert dad was about to blow up, waved at her son from a window and BOOM.

There's more sexual assault than I remembered. One of the Heathers is coerced into giving a guy a blowjob at a party. Another Heather maybe gets raped by a football player - it isn't clear. Veronica (Winona Ryder) has to physically defend herself when J.D. assaults her several times.

There are two good people in the whole movie - Martha Dumptruck and Betty Finn. Everyone else is either outright horrible or just indifferent to the suffering around them. Actually, Dumptruck and Finn might be awful too - they're pretty much just victims, but that doesn't make them good.

J.D. makes some really good points. "Society nods its head at any horror the American teenager can think to bring upon itself" is just plain truth. I had a hard time disagreeing with him. Really, the worst thing about him - aside from physically attacking Veronica - is that he wants to take other people with him when he commits suicide.

On the other hand, Heathers wasn't as dark as it could've been. Setting the murders aside for a moment, the bullying is pretty soft. I saw or experienced many things in high school that were a lot more cruel than the worst of what's shown in Heathers. The teenagers have various problems, but none of them appear to experiencing physical abuse from their parents. The drug and alcohol use are also pretty tame.

In the end, Veronica prevents J.D. from killing everybody - truly beautiful moment: J.D. flips Veronica off and she shoots his middle finger off - and watches him blow himself up - he dies the way his mom did. That's the point where my avatar comes from. Then Veronica goes inside the high school and makes friends with Martha Dumptruck. Apparently, participating in the murders of several kids and witnessing a suicide didn't upset her much.

Heathers is one of the movies that will always be associated with Gen X, before we even got stuck with the name Gen X. This is totally appropriate.

Addendum: I just read an article about Heathers and learned that there were a few other possible endings that were considered. In one of them, Martha Dumptruck would have murdered Veronica, stabbing her and calling her "Heather" repeatedly. Holy shit - I gotta say, that would have been a better ending.

ferrari is so unserious

Is this where we conspire to overthrow Elon

i would never endorse trying to overthrow the billionaire class,,, hahah,,,

NOOOOOOO😭😭😭

When everything and everyone around you feels fucked up and fake, its better to burn it all to the ground, purge the pain and heartbreak from your soul, set yourself free and start again

Anyone ever just get the urge to burn literally everything you're working on?

Like.. all my crochet stuff? I wanna watch it melt.

The dnd campaign I've been working on for a few months? Not good enough, need to watch all the pages as they crisp and burn.

All my little collections? Toss them into a never ending inferno.

But I know I'd be upset at myself when my heads better so I wont

But the feeling of needing to get rid of everything just won't leave so I'm left just.. feeling it

When my mind goes calm and things seem ok, I always wait for the other shoe to drop. When it doesn't my brain lets chaos take control which, usually means Imma burn it all down. Fuck. See you on the other side of the fire.
