"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging. Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Happy pride to this beautiful family (2024 #otasune week art, prompt: wedding) #mgs #bdncrt
post-MGS4 wedding scene, with Snake partially recovered from his premature aging (I forgot to draw his burn scars but they're supposed to be there or let's pretend that whatever cure they found fixed those too)- He is sitting at a cluttered table with cake leftovers, caressing Otacon's fingers and keeping his other arm around his shoulders. They're both wearing wedding bands and looking at their joined hands with quiet affection. Sunny is asleep in Otacon's arms. Behind them, their garden at night, decorated with strings of lightbulbs; Meryl and Johnny are dancing a slow dance together, Rosemary is chasing little Jack around the yard, and Mei Ling is taking a selfie with the other two huge guys from Meryl's Rat Patrol.

"A sword so fine must bear a name. It would please me if you would call this one 'Oathkeeper'....You'll be defending Ned Stark's daughter with Ned Stark's own steel... Sansa Stark is my last chance for honor."

Brienne, Jaime, and a chance for honor🤍💙

Behind them, a white table and fireplace on a white room.

testing out the super cheap acrylic paint markers I got today with a reference to one of my favorite @othatsraspberry.com comics #mgs #bdncrt
sketchbook page: on the left there are 24 color swatches from acrylic markers, on the right a small panel with a closeup of young Revolver Ocelot from MGS3, blushing and with a thought bubble containing a stylized snake surrounded by little hearts. Under the panel there's the caption "Major Ocelot! Are you thinking about tongue kissing again?"

My contribution for @closecallzine.bsky.social! Last chance to get a leftover copy of this beautiful otasune zine go go go 🏃‍♀️ #mgs #otasune #bdncrt
two different pictures of Snake and Otacon on vacation with Sunny, in the first Otacon is applying sunscreen to Sunny's nose while Snake is inflating a swim ring for her; in the second, Snake and Sunny are cheering on Otacon from the top of a boulder for him to finish climbing all the way up. A small side panel shows them in their beach attire, chibi style, with Otacon in pain as he's sunburnt while Snake deadpans, "should have put that sunscreen on yourself as well, huh"

#Birds #Raptor Rob Crank @robcrank68.bsky.social says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Mamas&Papas, male & female of the same species in the same photo. Taken on a sunny but cold day in February, the resident Bald Eagle pair is perched overlooking the river.
Two eagles perched in a poplar. They have white heads, yellow beaks, chocolate brown bodies & white tails. It's a sunny day and the sky is a brilliant blue.

Já perceberam que o anjo e o demonho usam as mesmas roupas?
A praga do Dudu puxa o shortinho do Anjinho e ele (óbvio) se assusta "AH!!" O pirralho aponta pras "partes" dele e fala "Ei, você não tem pintinho!", e Anjôlico puxa o short de volta berrando "ISSO NÃO INTERESSA!!". Nisso o bebê diabo sai saltitante: "O Anjinho não tem pintinho!! O Anjinho não tem pintinho!!"
