MID-FI🐈

@emmma_camp_ 1000xRESIST is a magnificent theatre piece hiding in a video game about many things from 2020, as well as generational trauma and immigrant identity

Question for the group: has there been any great art about Covid? Any incredible literary novels or films? I can't think of anything off the top of my head but my cultural knowledge is not limitless.

@MasterTainment aww man it is a BLAST, I hope you enjoy it

I haven't even seen Wonder Man yet but I already know he's going to be filed under the mutant label. Because he is one. Every superhuman is a mutant. The comics use the "mutate" term but...I doubt the MCU will. Because they're just going to differentiate mutations... ...whether they be X-Gene mutations, Gamma mutations, Spider mutations, Dark Energy Tesseract mutations, Terrigen mutations, etc. A mutant is a mutant at the end of the day...especially in the eyes of the MCU public growing in superhuman xenophobia. They're gonna see mfs like Spider-Man or the Human Torch flying around and say "That's a mutant!"...even though their mutations aren't X-Gene mutations. And they wouldn't be wrong...they're just not being specific. It's like calling a Vietnamese guy an "Asian." You're not wrong. But you're also not being specific. When X-Gene mutants start making the news and scaring people, every superhuman is going to be labeled a mutant to differentiate them from regular humans. "Us vs Them" type shit. Whether or not the mutant Wonder Man is an X-Gene mutant has yet to be seen.

@girldrawsghosts when I first heard they were bringing him back again I thought "isn't he kinda played out? how are they gonna shoehorn this" and then I saw it and Wonder Man is the best thing Marvel's done in years

funniest thing about sir ben kingley is he will absolutely be in your movie

@girldrawsghosts felt that one viscerally

This is what i sound like when i eat popcorn too fast

@esjesjesj I'm goofing but Next Gen had Bones in the first episode, it takes time

@esjesjesj they needed three seasons to break out of it also an entirely different political environment and studio ownership

It’s actually the opposite. It’s the writers not being able to produce anything outside of nostalgia

@ClaireMax Hang in there, it will soon pass!

@midfi Hard to say

Waiting for the sleepy cold medicine to kick in, AMA

@ClaireMax I hope you feel better swiftly.

I’m sick =(((((

@suchnerve It's the best way to do it!

And yes I do think it’s funny to be ominously helpful.

@suchnerve they're only just exploring the intricacies of The Force the dualism, the way extremes communicate antithesis and annihilation, I wish we'd had a second season of The Acolyte

“You’re so nice omg” Thanks I just invert this defensive subroutine from “intentionally hit people’s insecurities” to the benign mirror version “intentionally soothe people’s insecurities”

@turnintoabat @EntryLvlNut everybuddy bleeding tonight

@EntryLvlNut Bullying my wife while waiting for a phlebotomist

@suchnerve you've got laser-guided takes and a history of sometimes attracting an enormous amount of attention I assume they hate people with sharp perception, hard-fought writing skills and someone apparently more popular than they should be

autist who can talk a LOT about a handful of narrow topics while leaving vast swathes of other subjects completely untouched, fork found in kitchen, cat found on windowsill,

wtf does it mean when people on here assume i’m a rich socialite with none of the downsides of autism and completely manageable depression and nothing messy like PTSD and such a perfect awareness of social nuance that any social problem i cause must have been 100% intentional

@suchnerve many such cases

tried doubling the amount of butter and salt in a recipe and now it tastes way better

@theallergygirl my body has changed shape for a variety of other reasons so I'm impressed along an additional, different trajectory

i’ve had far more people debating whether my green jacket is actually still the same green jacket (it is) on my transition timeline than transphobic comments

@catbogausch @bennywormcat why be merely comfortable when one can be p e c u l i a r

@catbogausch @bennywormcat I love how Benny is doing super arms

benny, gwen, and i stack neatly into a pile to watch star trek every night

@suchnerve most of the gay men I knew have been good actors so I haven't seen a lot of that but yes

gay men doing an exaggerated straight voice will always be 100x funnier than the other way around, sorry

@girldrawsghosts why is everything these days the end of time bandits

@omgchomp @ELSASB1TCH that said, bad romance is famously wrong in some karaoke systems, mother monster is doing this hitchcock jam poetry thing but the lyrics are mangled engrish bullshit

@omgchomp @ELSASB1TCH ohhh that one goes a lot of places I've been in a "singing in a bunch of other languages" kick lately but I usually look up translations first just in case

sometimes you discover the actual lyrics to your favorite songs in public at karaoke and that’s okay
