You Can Fight Us All

rant that no one asked for!!!

“no plan” from “wasteland, baby!” by hozier is SO GOOD. that shit changed my life like-

nihilism has been a top trend among my generation(gen z), and honestly it’s no shock. we were born into a burning world(both literally and figuratively!!) where trying to pursue our dreams means giving up EVERYTHING. money, time, relationships, living life. of course, this isn’t to say previous generations didn’t have to make sacrifices, it’s that gen z basically has to choose between following their dreams and being able to survive.

and then there’s the end of the universe, which will likely be a heat death. where the universe will have reached its maximum state of entropy and all hot things(or things with more energy) move to colder places(or places with less energy). and then, everything will be dark again; a parallel to how our universe was born.

and hozier illiterates both of these ideas of nihilism and the death of the universe beautifully, saying “everything will end anyways, and we’re so lucky to be here right now, so who cares?” for me, it’s an oddly hopeful thing, knowing that i will not be remembered at the end of the universe, so why care? as hozier says “there will be darkness again.”

and of course, he has amazing political/religious commentary. a few lines(i.e., “there’s no kingdom to come;” “there’s no hands on the reigns”) make direct jabs at religion- mostly christianity as we se sin other hozier songs like “take me to church” but that’s for another day!!

in all, this is one of the most underrated hozier songs and that is a CRIME. so listen to it right now, listen to the lyrics and just vibe man.

my number 1 hobby is headcanoning every character i’ve ever loved as autistic. i will never stop.

your sourdough starter fucking bit me

Also btw trump recognizing only "the two biological sexes" harms intersex people too. I am a researcher of sex and it's affects on disease, and sex is far more complicated than "two sexes" and it always will be. Sex is multifaceted and there are far more than two binary sexes. Keep that in mind too. Don't fall into bioessentialism as you fight for trans people and intersex people.

Merlin: There's something i want to tell you. I can talk to that dragon outside because i am a dragon lord and also a wizard slash warlock.

Unsure what the best part of the “Thor Ragnarok” snake joke is:

- Thor liking snakes

- Tiny!Thor’s instinct upon seeing a new snake to go investigate/pick it up

- Loki knowing that Thor likes snakes, and then using this information to get back at him (or possibly being completely unaware that Thor likes snakes and just assuming that a random snake on Asgard, somewhere, would make Thor curious)

- Loki’s snake plot involving: Thor is happy to see me/snake, picks me up/investigates, I turn back into a humanoid form, yell, and then stab him with some kind of knife/sword. Like not even bite him or anything and or strangle him as a snake. Just like… pretend to be a snake, then stab him as a humanoid. (to be fair, the film version is probably more like what an 6-8-year-old would plan, which… possibly makes it better?)

- Loki smiling afterward, like it’s a fond memory

- Chris Hemsworth’s delivery

- Tom Hiddleston possibly smiling because of Chris Hemsworth’s delivery/the silliness of the story

- Valkyrie’s reaction to this whole ridiculousness

- Tiny!Thor/adult!Thor possibly being more angry that Loki used Thor’s love of snakes against him than the fact that Loki stabbed him

- At least a reference to MCU!Loki turning into a non-humanoid character, which I’m pretty sure is something we haven’t seen before. Since it’s not something he’s done on-screen, and Loki has transformed a couple times (e.g., Odin, Captain America), there’s the potential that turning yourself into an animal is easier than turning yourself into a human, which is interesting, lore-wise (so  more magic + more lore possibilities is neat)
