how come goyim will make 30k note posts about why not to use antisemitic memes but ignore the SEVERAL hate crimes that have been committed since chanukah started
hugh jackman does everything to prove that he’s hugh jackman. he sings, he tap dances, and he has an australian accent.
the reveal at the end of the movie is that hugh jackman isn’t wolverine, but wolverine is hugh jackman. logan went into witness protection in order to retire from being a superhero and having an alternate identity as an australian actor who started his career in musicals was basically fool proof until wade blew his cover story
wade wilson kidnaps hugh jackman in deadpool 3 bc he’s convinced he’s actually wolverine. he spends the whole movie lugging him around but he’s literally just hugh jackman
Considering that Hugh Jackman exists in the Deadpool cinematic universe, this works in-canon quite well.
This is revealed, of course, when Hugh Jackman gets shot and killed just prior to the final battle, providing Deadpool with the emotional push that carries him to victory. After Deadpool finally defeats the Big Bad (somehow overcoming by himself whatever obstacle he thought he would need Wolverine for) he turns to see Hugh Jackman in the last stage of regenerating from being ‘dead’ and absolutely looses his shit about it.
Every morning should start with me reading something like this.
My husband has informed me that around 2-3am he woke up to muffled screaming and discovered that the cat had pulled open the Tupperware drawer and crawled inside, but her weight had closed the drawer and she was stuck inside and needed rescuing.
Me: …The hell is it called the ‘drawing room’ for? Was drawing really such a wide-spread hobby, and if so, why do I never see any art equipment in the reconstructions of any of these rooms?
Historian, curator and documentary presenter Dr Lucy Wosley: Actually it was originally called the ‘withdrawing room’, as in the place one withdrew to, and where only family and important guests were allowed to enter. The name got shortened over time.
Me: Oooooohhhh
wait, so all those scenes where people are invited into the ‘drawing room’ are actually a declaration of intimacy and close friendship or otherwise close ties / importance?
“does fiction influence reality?” fiction is part of reality.
real people write, publish, distribute, profit off, read, learn from, interact with, form communities around, use as a rhetorical device, project onto, and take action based on experiences with fiction. writing fiction is itself a real life set of behaviors that people do. fiction is influenced by and influences culture because fiction is part of culture.
there is no way to separate out what humans do (whether that’s writing stories or conducting scientific studies or having sex) from the culture and systems of power that humans do those things within. there is no behavior of humans that is isolated from and unrelated to our connections with each other.
It’s much more useful to discuss how our behavior relates to our places within existing power structures, our culture, our values and beliefs, and how that behavior impacts each other, and why.
I’m not interested in the question of “does it influence reality?” I’m interested in the question of “how is this piece of fiction impacting real people and why?”
