Check out my patreon! ; That guy who makes three robots kiss at the same time ; unfortunately a full adult ; the architect of my own suffering ; "There'll be no one to hear you if you need help. No one could. No one lives any nearer than town. No one will come any nearer than that. In the night. In the dark."
even if billie joe was straight (he’s not) teenagers getting offended he used the word faggot in american idiot 16 years after the fact would still be some of the goofiest discourse i have yet to see on this website. if you were young and gay in 2004 that shit rocked your world bc we were living through one of the most powerful resurgences of blind american patriotism and anti-gay evangelical bullshit of the last three decades. i dont think most of yall understand how radical that song, that album, and green day’s overall anti-bush pro-gay stance was for the time. even though we were at the cusp of bush becoming unpopular by the time it was released, american idiot saw a fairly mainstream rock band condemning not just him, but the bigoted, ignorant american culture which created him. to remove all of this context from the song and act like green day was just throwing around homophobic slurs for the hell of it is exactly why people joke nobody has reading comprehension on this website lmao. he’s not weaponizing the term; he’s using it to identify with an alternative american society.
finally finished day 2! the prompt for today is favorite quote, so heres mine:
“Certain djinn, Faquarl among them, had long espoused collective rebellion against the magicians. I’d always dismissed this as so much hogwash, but if Faquarl had come up to me with some boneheaded scheme right then, I’d have joined him with much high-fiving and innane whoops of joy” (PG 105).
this quote makes me think of faquarl as this sort of deranged schemer so heres this lol.
viva la revolución!
and bonus bart having to listen to all his schemes over the millenia:
