fob's we didn't start the fire is cover, like, fine i guess if you've been desperately craving for anything set after billy joe's version, but the fact that it chronically places the usa and uk as the only countries as "newsworthy" and barely acknowledges the existence of news in asia, south america, africa and eastern europe means that it doesn't hold a candle to the original.
that, and it's not even in chronological order. like come the fuck on.
this is what hozier meant when he said that all art is political, because when you're a major rock band and write a cover song "updating major newsworthy events" and chicken out on russia's military invasion, pretend china doesn't exist, omit the myanmar coup, the protests in south america, southeast asia, france, iran, ukraine, and hong kong etc etc etc, you're making extremely political art in its omission.
an american band writing a song that mentions a netflix show but forgets to include major shifts in geopolitical power(like the fall of the ussr) is inherently a power and privilege problem

The circle is complete:
1898: Morgan Robertson's novella "The Wreck of the Titan" is published.
1912: RMS Titanic hits an iceberg and sinks, in an event that almost beat-for-beat follows the plot of Robertson's novella.
2023: Oceangate's experimental submersible The Titan undergoes explosive decompression while retracing the descent of the Titanic.
NOW STOP NAMING THINGS THAT
Lucas describing his outfits/hair to a blind Max and that's how she rates them as "yes, good enough for a formal gathering" to "no, don't wear that to the job interview" or "yeah, this is gonna be a good look for your driver's license"
Even when blind, Max still has the best fashion sense/advice
are we all just going to pretend that the orcas aren't attacking the yachts because the fucking ocean is sweltering hot?
what happens to violent crime rates during heatwaves? i'll give you one hint. these are not unintelligent creatures. they're not completely incapable of understanding what is happening to them and where they live.
you don't have to anthropomorphize the goddamn orcas (although it's fun) to empathize with the fact that they are disrupted because of the changes to their environment and they are taking it out on something that they know for a fact contributes to their discomfort
i feel like as a global society, we are really good at just not saying things when they're obviously extremely uncomfortable. this is one of them. we are destroying the natural world and so the natural world is attempting to return the favor.

yeah yeah im fine im just thinking about how lucas knew max’s favorite song despite max not really being present and pushing him away and how that saved her life and im also thinking about how they shared that cute tender moment in the trailer and im also thinking about how max is worth fighting for to lucas and im also thinking about lucas being in most of max’s flashbacks when she was in vecna’s trance and im also thinking about how lucas had to watch max levitate and im also thinking about how lucas had to watch max’s bones snap and im also thinking about how he caught her almost dead body and pulled her out of the way of the gate and im also thinking about how lucas hasnt left maxs side in the hospital and and and
why were you targeted for bullying as a kid?
I was visibly disabled and/or separated out from other classes for a disability
disabled in a way that other kids picked up on even if they/I didn't know why
ate "different" food (cultural dishes, allergies, dietary restrictions, etc.)
cause I was poor
literally straightforward racism
does repeated sexual harassment or SA by peers count as bullying? (yes)
didn't or couldn't perform my assigned gender and/or straightness correctly
body size (height, weight, proportions etc.)
something else
multiple of these! (at once or at different times)
See ResultsDefinitely want a second season of XO, Kitty if only for the ensuing hilarity that would come from the two most popular students in school fighting each other over the dorky American transplant who barely passed her classes.
