Miles Bron: Motherfucker Unlimited
(MAJOR SPOILERS FOR 'GLASS ONION' [2022])
I know that the whole point of 'Glass Onion' is that it isn't complex and that Miles Bron is a fucking idiot, but there is one thing about him that makes him fucking fascinating: his self-awareness about his own situation.
Now I know, I know: it's Miles Bron. The Elon Musk allegory of the fucking century. What on God's green earth am I fucking talking about?
All I ask is that you hear me out.
This is the original rant I went on, posted to Discord (similarly to my Antlers Holst post, which is still apparently a hit with the gays /posi):
[Image Alt descrptions available if the screenshots are too compressed to read]
Now, to expand on the original rant:
Come back to the scene between Bron and Blanc in the Onion where Bron talks about the bar itself, the Glass Onion (quoted below).
Bron: "Oh, Andi."
Blanc: "Yes, Andi."
Bron: "Andi used to tell me the truth. Nobody does that now. It's all just fake smiles and agendas and people wanting what they think they're owed. Hating you when you don't give it to them because that's what you're there for."
It's in this moment that Miles Bron solidifies his character to the audience: he is very aware of what his purpose is in this group of "Disruptors" - the benefactor. But here's the major kicker: he doesn't fucking want to be.
Helen describes later that no one in the original friend group liked Miles until things started happening for all of them: dreams thought to be long dead now beyond anything any of them could've fucking imagined.
Now, yes, Miles is a hypocrite: you could say his speech in the shadows to Blanc is very much hypocritcal because it's essentially a mirror to what happened to Andi: Miles taking Alpha from her because he felt he was owed the power to pump all the company's resources into Klear.
But, and for just a moment, consider: Miles is aware he's a hypocrite. Maybe logically he's a fucking idiot but I fully speculate that he is very aware of the fact that he is not Andi, no matter how much he fucking wants to be. He knows he's an idiot, but he plays so hard into the fallacy that he isn't that he just believes it now.
But somewhere, in the back of his mind, he knows. He knows that he can never be Andi, and that none of the Disruptors even fucking like him without Andi around.
And the best part? The funniest fucking part of this whole shebang?It's all his own fucking fault. It's his own fucking fault and all he's done is make it worse because he doesn't have the fucking capabilities to be original; to think of something genuinely complex that could possibly get him out of the hole he dug himself into because of his own hubris and selfishness.
And that is what makes him so fucking interesting: the emotional self-awareness of Miles Bron. Logically? Yes, he's a bumbling fucking idiot, an absolute moron. Emotionally? It's like willingly tangling yourself in a spider's web. He's horrible and terrible and I truly believe he's extremely aware of that fact, and just pretends that it's not like that at all. That he's beloved by all, but most of all by those he considers closest to him.
TL;DR: Miles Bron my fucking abhorrently belovedly beloathed <3

i have to come to terms with the fact that I am actually well off for someone in this country now, like.. idk it's weird
i'm still living the exact same lifestyle that i was before, so for the most part it feels almost like nothing has changed, like maybe im spending a little bit more money on food and buying the "good" toilet paper, but all that does is allow me to actually have savings in my bank account
i still stand with the working class and impoverished people of this country, and I am very much still in the boat of "one [very] bad day from homelessness" so i am not taking this for granted whatsoever
i've just been watching some of those youtube channels where they interview random people all over the country and just like.. kinda show what their life is like and it's definitely putting mine in perspective
very very grateful for the opportunities i have had and very proud of myself for forcing myself to stay in college (even tho it took almost 10 years to finish and left me with a mountain of debt) and just like.. idk, i feel like i could be doing more to help people out, i can't wait til im out of debt ;o;

OCs Teacher AU
Just like I promised!
Firstly, Sienna would be an english or a history teacher definitely. She’s the kind of teacher to be super strict but the students secretly love her still. She’s like, perfectly deadpan in her delivery of the lectures and actually pretty chill.
AJ would be a PE teacher and the varsity coach. They definitely flirt with Sunny on their off time and they're every student's OTP.
Sunny is the nurse. she's just nice man, everyone likes her. She understands that some kids are just tired or overstimulated, and she has plenty of candy in her office/classroom.
Kori is the music teacher (no surprise there). He’s very calm, all his students look forward to his class. He’s surprisingly severe, especially to the boys who think they can just take music as an easy grade, fuck around and get away with it.
Luis would probably be the math teacher, the kind of teacher to not care if his students sleep or don't pay attention, because he believes they're old enough to decide if they want to succeed in his class.
Alden would be the science teacher and he's just, very interesting. he’s a mystery. to me. I still need to write his character in my head oops
