People Against Piracy Fail To Realize That No, I Can’t Just ‘buy It.’ They Stopped Making DVDs

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Oh Hey, Lucifer Didn't Have These Shoulder Thingies.

Oh hey, Lucifer didn't have these shoulder thingies.

He WAS probably waiting on the side, biting his nails at not being able to step in.

And then fortunately or unfortunately Dazzle is killed. As a sacrificial lamb that allows him to come, now that the deal about not killing hellborns is broken.

Arcane posting because THISSSS but also we see in ep7 with the alternative timeline what would happen if Jayce wasn't around for Hextech- because Vi dying in the lab break in probably would've driven Jayce to exile/kill himself out of guilt- and we see as a result how so much conflict is avoided, how the undercity and Piltover thrive together.

Old man wizard Viktor literally looked at a timeline full of hope and peace and went 'none of it matters if you aren't here'

*takes drag from my candy cigarette*

Wizard Viktor isn't aiming to save Jayce, himself, or the world. He's hitting timeline after timeline to set them on a path that is doomed BUT ALSO keeps their fates inexorably intertwined

The goal is to get their fates tangled together in a way that doesn't lead to Viktor erasing Jayce into dreamless solitude, fuck whatever else happens

*leaves*

fat character who becomes a vampire and loses a ton of weight and blood can not sate their hunger but they can't eat anything they used to like anymore. everyone views it as a positive healthy positive development but they're starving and dying slowly but never truly dying, a living corpse. this is a metaphor for something

Okay hear me out. Ultimate Clone X theory

Clone X is Soup clone.

Okay Hear Me Out. Ultimate Clone X Theory

My evidence for this theory? Plenty when he talks to Crosshair about Joining them when he had the chance? He’s talking about during the food fight. This entire time he has been biding his time. And what is a river if not the soup of nature? I feel this in my bones. All other theories have been rejected as inferior Dogma? Nah! Tech boring! Cody? Ha give me a break. Slick? Derivative. It’s soup clone. The ultimate villain.

A Reminder

Palestine is not over. Palestine is not dead. Gaza, the West Bank, the entire region between the river and the sea, and the various countries across the world where refugees have fled to, house a surviving people and surviving culture. Palestine is not dead, and WILL NOT die.

I'm seeing a lot of very valid despair online, but if you're someone like me, living a privileged life in a Western country NOT under active bombardment, and which is actually COMPLICIT to some degree in that bombardment: we don't get to give up. Not now, not ever.

You can still get involved in protests or direct actions (e.g. blocking supply), you can still donate eSims or fund UNRWA on your government's behalf, you can still hassle the crap out of your local MP. No, it won't roll back the harm that's already been committed, but all of those things are STILL WORTH DOING. PEOPLE ARE STILL ALIVE OVER THERE. PALESTINE IS STILL WORTH SAVING.

If you've bothered to read this far, you're probably already aware of what's going on over there right now. If not, check out Al Jazeera's fantastic coverage. But also remember that Palestine, and Palestinian culture, is more than just death and despair. Examples below:

Long live Palestine, from the river to the sea.
