I'm Thinking Of Rewatching MH After Many, Many Years, But I Missed A Lot By Only Watching Marble Hornets

rocket man is a better song than space oddity and i will fight you over this

Their plan is to make up Woke reasons to fire all of us incompetent straight White guys who've skated by on privilege all our lives, and then they're gonna round us all up and imprison us in FEMA camps, while black helicopters circle around overhead, scanning our DNA with their special radars, so the Grey aliens can make perfect clones of us with the machines hidden in the bunkers underneath Denver International Airport, except the clones will all be Trans and brainwashed to do whatever the Female-Liberal-Gay Alliance tells them to do. And that's how Freedom will die.

I wish I could work that fast

Panel redraw!!!! (but collage and paint)

I might actually use this one, someday.

A character with "true sight," or some kind of uncontrolled visionary episodes, isn't suffering from "misidentified psychosis," but is intuiting an extrapolated future based on the information they have.

They can predict the future, but it looks like insanity or a neurological condition. As they get older, more experienced, and better informed, their visions will get more accurate. Assuming they can survive that long.

Because even being right, or living in a culture that believes in oracles or prophecy, won't guarantee you get believed or respected. After all, humans are humans... or maybe I should say, people are people. If nobody wants to believe that something is a bad idea, they won't. If everyone wants to believe the army can brush the enemy aside without much trouble, they will despise you for harshing their vibe.

And don't think it will get better if you're right, or keep being right. They won't apologize to you, or change their attitude toward your prophecy (well, a small minority might). Most of them resent you for making them look bad, and will find a way to blame you for the very thing you warned them about.

@whyisthereacentaur No idea what this bumper sticker is there for, but I insist that technically, this qualifies as goatposting.

I didn't notice who reblogged this and I was WONDERING where the heck it was going...

Which made it all the sweeter to find out it's an Emberlynn joke!

@comicaurora

@thatonepointbraincell you alone are responsible for fishposts showing up in my feed on their own, every day. I hope you're happy.

Oh, they know exactly what they're doing.

It's often not even the same crab. Can you recognize individual members of a species you've never seen before?

Why is the crab in danger? So you will keep watching. Creating mortal peril for your subjects is SOP for wildlife videography.

There's more awareness now, and you can't be certain that's what you're looking at nowadays, thank goodness, but there's still a lot of that. Because the networks pay for it.

Mainstream television has this weird superstition that everything has to follow one of a few specific plotlines very closely, or nobody will watch it.

That said, I miss the old school nature documentaries sometimes, because either they prioritized information over their narrative (Nature With George Page), or they went full send with an actually good narrative (Wild America).

Is there a trope for a character with a phrophecy but rather than it being like: you’re gonna do something great, it instead foretells them to do something awful.

Closest official TVTropes entry is the "Apocalypse Maiden", an innocent person who's very unhappy about being prophecied to unleash some apocalyptic horror.
