I think Oeuf is one of those episodes that gets creepier the more you look back on it, not for the aesthetics, but how you see Will’s savior and God complex. When you have a better analytical understanding of how Will views his actions after the 3rd season, episodes like these make you see him very differently when you do a rewatch.

When you watch it the first time, you may see Will’s perspective on the Lost Boys as something of justified righteous anger. A man who is highly empathic towards boys who have lost everything and a sense of helplessness of what cannot be. This reflects Will’s fundamental strong belief that what has been broken cannot be repaired back to its original state. But those who have really come to know Will see something else in a rewatch.

Will is not only righteously furious of what has happened to the loss of innocence of the Lost Boys, but he is specifically angry that he cannot return what was lost. They have been tainted and sullied by violence and acts of evil and are therefore unsalvageable as a result. Hannibal even points this out to him that he shifted his focus to Abigail after his revelation of these facts. Abigail is still salvageable. She got touched by violence and evil and yet she came back from it. She can still be a normal girl with a normal life, because she is normal (or so he thinks). There’s something he can still do for her that he can’t do for the Lost Boys, because he saved her as a success. She’s the one good thing in his life and an investment.

But we saw how Will reacted when he realized Abigail wasn’t the normal girl he thought she was. She didn’t come back from the violence, she had walked alongside it and was still walking in it as she navigated the aftermath of her near death experience. So he had to destroy her and purge his mind of any thoughts of that kind of image of her. And when she was dying a second time, he let go of her bleeding neck when he realized she couldn’t be saved. And then he tried to convince himself that’s not how it happened.

Will loathes things that are unsalvageable or can’t be fixed by his own hands. And if you think about it through that particular lens and rewatch this episode, you see just how disturbing his mindset and justification of his actions is when it comes to how he views and handles the entire case.

CALLING ADVENTURE TIME FANS

I’m making a patch/maybe sticker design, and I need everyone’s opinions

Excuse the very rough sketch but I haven’t got my iPad on me to go digital. The font is gonna be the adventure time font (ofc) I lowkey feel bad putting ice king in this position but it kinda works too well with early ice king.

I have three options:

Leave as is

Add at the bottom “be a hero”

Add at the bottom “protect our princesses”

I like the third, cause it fits the metaphor perfectly but I wonder if it muddies the message a little or if it’s fine. Now go! Vote!

If you enjoyed this book you should read every other book in the world for extra textual context. All things are intricately related to one another.

Say it with me folks:

  • “Eat the rich” means 1%ers and billionaires
  • middle class is closer to poverty than being a multimillionaire
  • “The rich” does NOT include children of billionaires (come on we’re at least slightly better than the plagues of Egypt)
  • Upper middle class children SHOULD NOT feel guilt over having money
  • Being aware of privilege and using your privilege to help others IS NOT a guilt trip
  • Constantly feeling guilty helps no one
  • Billionaires, however, should feel guilty over hoarding wealth.
  • Upper middle class is NOT rich
  • Black Lives Matter
  • Trans rights are human rights

My uncle was one of the top surgeons in the country. He was upper middle class definitely. When he got cancer, his insurance didn’t cover all the treatments he would need and after 5 years he drained his savings on cancer treatments (while still working most of that time) and eventually died because he couldn’t afford the expensive treatments that might have saved him.

If you are upper middle class and you get sick, it will likely bankrupt your family. It’s fucked.

For all of the idiots in the notes ^

Honest to god - even if you make 6 figures a year? you're closer to poverty than true wealth. Check your shit and remember who your real allies and enemies are guys.

A 6 figure income is a lot right? That’s say: 223,000 dollars a year Which is 112 dollars an hour. Most people would consider that upper middle class. That’s enough money to have a nice house, go on fun vacations. That’s slight more than the average doctor makes.

223,000 dollars is what Jeff Bezo makes in a minute

the well-off and the rich are not the same. 

There was a wonderful study done about 15 years ago I think, that shows that people cannot accurately identify their income bracket. Most people who own a home think they are upper middle class when in fact they are closer to the poverty line. Even people living well below poverty often identify as middle class. The wealth gap is even worse now. I wonder if anyone actually knows their financial standing.

This post is from 2020. Things did not improve.

In an incredible reversal, Builder.AI just declared bankruptcy after admitting that they were faking their AI tool with 700 humans

way too good to leave in the tags

sometimes i be saying im gonna go to bed and then i dont go to bed. frequently in fact. this is because i have the heart of an optimist and the soul of a liar

i want to share with you some of my favourite graffiti from Pompeii

  • “Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!“ 
  • “Amplicatus, I know that Icarus is buggering you. Salvius wrote this.“ 
  • “We two dear men, friends forever, were here. If you want to know our names, they are Gaius and Aulus.“
  • “Floronius, privileged soldier of the 7th legion, was here. The women did not know of his presence. Only six women came to know, too few for such a stallion.“
  • “On April 19th, I made bread.“
  • “ I have buggered men.“
  • “If anyone does not believe in Venus, they should gaze at my girlfriend.“
  • “It took 640 paces to walk back and forth between here and there ten times.“
  • “Chie, I hope your hemorrhoids rub together so much that they hurt worse than when they every have before!“
  • “Epaphra is not good at ball games.”
  • “Two friends were here.  While they were, they had bad service in every way from a guy named Epaphroditus.  They threw him out and spent 105 and half sestertii most agreeably on whores.“
  • “Secundus likes to screw boys.“

the guy who wrote “if anyone does not believe in Venus, they should gaze at my gf” drank XTREME respect women juice

and also probably brought down the wrath of Venus

i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to

unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school

things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)
