Oscar probably confused the Hell out of a lot of people who assume he is Jewish based on his shortened/stage name, between this joke and his ‘guys I’m super Latino’ moment.
a) He’s also patrilineally ethnically Jewish, although he was raised Evangelical and only marginally identifies as Jewish – but it IS why he chose Isaac as his stage name, and why it’s his middle name. He’s talked about it in interviews a couple of times. He has Jewish heritage and purposely has a stage name/real middle name that reflect that.
Because….
b) There are Latinx Jews. There are tens of thousands (if not a million or two?) of Latinx Jews. Both cultures are diasporic and not bound by race or nationality. C’mon.
c) BUT ANYWAY, all the good guys in Star Wars have always been Space Jews! It’s… the not-suble flip side of the unsubtle villains ubsubtly being Space Nazis… and the whole… plotline…
As a Texan this caused such a potent, visceral chemical reaction of rage in me that I immediately vomited blood
“hi yes i will take an infant-sized portion of meat with no sauce or sides on a platter the size of an average door, that’s what humans eat right?”
This is just sickening, this is TERRIBLE brisket. The smoke ring looks like it’s maybe a millimeter tops? The meat looks the way brisket does when it is steamed, not smoked. That fat looks unrendered. The bark looks soft. This looks simultaneously soggy AND YET dry and tough. This would be mush. It wouldn’t pass the pull test and it would taste like skunky smoke. 1/10. Fuck you, this brisket. How dare New York show this to me. Be a sewer, you awful town.
Yeah, I don’t think anyone’s going to own to it, but there have been anons some of us get which are basically demanding she be entirely subservient to Sam and Dean in the plot, grovel for apology for being a terrible mother, and how dare she exist in the story outside of them without mentioning them or having a one track mind about them >.>
I mean, it’s basic good writing to have ANY character introduced who has something other than the primary reason they’re in the story to make them interesting, right? Like, you write an ice cream man the characters go to to get ice cream, and if he has a personality and references even in a couple of lines that he has a life outside of selling ice cream, he’s a well-rounded character given his place in the story, right?
You reintroduce Mary to the story, you’re not going to just paste her on to Sam and Dean to follow them around and help them mindlessly and just be there to comfort and uplift them, she needs to have *anything* about herself that is not just being tucked under their arms the whole time. Even stories where her emotional centre is about them, if she handles it in her own way, for herself, and is written as a character who clearly has a 3-dimensional inner life and wants and needs and will do things for herself and make choices that make sense for where SHE is and not what Sam and Dean need from her every single time, then she’s well-written enough to pass as a real human character, you know?
I think she’s really well-crafted in that respect, that her story is still all about her family and sons at the end of the day, but everything she does is still what Mary wants and feels and needs, and I literally do not care that it might not be what Sam and Dean want and need from her, because in a way they selfishly got to have her to themselves for 11 years as a character, as a figment in the narrative, as just an internalised aspect they carried with themselves. It’s like she’s a genie manifested from them into the story and now she’s free and running wild. And of course you can see she loves them wildly, but she’s also a Winchester, so that means she’s a depressed suicidal wreck who makes bad decisions and vents by punching all the skeeziest bad guys in the face… How can you not love her? 😛
At the end of the day when it comes to Mary that’s literally all I care about to boil it down to the most basic element: she is FREE. And that’s what the writing is telling us, even when she is captured she’s going on personal arcs that work for herself and her own emotional story. So I’m happy with how they handle her because the writing cares that she is a real person.
one of my patients came in for an emergency visit, because she snapped the wire on her retainer watching the movie when MBJ took his shirt off she clenched her teeth so fucking hard she snapped it. that is the fucking funniest shit ever to me this tiny 17 year old girl thirsting so goddamn hard she busted steel
honestly my favorite new phenomenon is the haiku bot coming in at the end of super serious posts. it’s like watching a supervillain come to a crushing defeat and then getting run over by a roomba.
The haikubot does not detect actual haiku. The artistry of haiku is that every line contains a thought or image that can be separated and still understood with the poem as a whole coming together to form a bigger idea or image.
The haikubot just detects sentences of 5-7-5 syllables and calls it a day. It’s an insult to the art form. Reading an actual haiku can be a spiritual experience.
You sound like a damn elitist bastard from the school of snobbery

^Haiku^bot^8. I detect haikus with 5-7-5 format. Sometimes I make mistakes.
