Another random 9/11 fact: Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy was supposed to be on American Airlines flight 11 but accidentally fell asleep in the terminal and then woke up to the terrible news that it had crashed into the World Trade Center.
So wait, who am I supposed to boycott? I need a more specific meme to guide my moral compass. What companies are owned by the one that owns the grocery chain Gerard Way shops at?
boycott 9/11
that's what chaos theory is, a big event left a massive splash.
you could probably trace anything that happend after 9/11 to 9/11
I knew there was a reason behind my morning wood.
I mean there's Remember Me
Honestly, even just preventing MCR is a win in my book. Add on preventing Twilight and we're doing great, THEN preventing 50 Shades of Grey? They need to get to work on that time machine right away!
MCR couldn't have inspired Stephanie to make her weird pedophilic Mormon dogshit. Don't blame Gerard Way for this.
She asked them to make a song for one of the movies. They denied, because of the pedophile thing. She shouldn't be associated with them in any capacity.
The pedophile thing?
I'm guessing it's that the main character's baby is the "destined" lover of the character who was the second male lead. Alternately, it could be that the main character is a teenager courted by a man hundreds of years her senior, but that one tends to be less frowned upon in media.
Either way, I think Meyer would've come up with her drivel one way or another.
Could also be about Mormonism more generally and the disturbing amount of children Brigham Young and Joseph Smith, the two key founding figures of their religion, were married to. (I mean, 1 is disturbing enough, but the true number is higher, which is even more disturbing.)
My family is Mormon, I was raised Mormon. Everything about Mormonism is disturbing. It has every single vice attributed to American culture, then, and now. Every form of bigotry, hatred, and fake normalcy. Taking advantage of the desparate and disadvantaged. One leader, Wildrow Woodruff, gave himself hundreds of spiritual wives as birthday presents to himself. Some were dead infants. Imagine mourning the death of your young daughter, only to find out that the old man you believe to be the mouthpiece of God himself, has married her, to be fucked by him in the afterlife. There's so many disturbing pieces of Mormon lore that are normally ignored by non ex-Mormons. Mormons are seen as funny and as having weird beliefs, but not as monsters, which the "good" Mormons are.
I've been watching a lot of ex-Mormon Alyssa Grenfell on YouTube lately and learning just how disturbing it is, both from a doctrinal perspective and in terms of the history.
She's pretty good. I got my information by looking through tons of stories and monstrosities on r/exmormon, until my accounts got permabanned like 3 separate times. Kinda miss that place. Maybe I'll make another in a month or two.
A multiple centuries old man falls in love with an infant. A multiple centuries old man falls in love with a high school student. Also, the entire plot happens in 2 years. It's just really creepy, makes me uncomfortable. Discourages me how popular that shit was.
Hate to be pedantic about a topic like this, but Jacob, the guy who falls in love with a baby (if that's the event you describe), is around 16
MC (clumsy girl) and sparkling vampire have a baby (please don't ask about vampire ejaculation) and werewolf dude who was crushing on MC imprints upon the baby. Said baby grows up rapidly because of course did you expect werewolf dude to wait for 18 years?
Ugh, and Muse picked up that offer instead and churned out one of their worst songs 🤦
I love Muse, but this was like.... it was like if a mediocre tribute band was asked to make an original song in the style of the original band.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Do you blame Scorsese for John Hinckley?
"Inspired by", does mean the inspiration is to blame for the outcome.
Scorsese
He knew what he was doing
She had other inspirational music. Like Muse. Who was... Also inspired by 9/11. Fuck.
That's bollocks, their first album was 2000
Edit: just checked, actually their first album was 1999. Although what they have to do with 50 shades of grey...
As we all know, once you begin creating things you can never again receive inspiration.
Don't you dare come for Muse while I'm hyped for a new single coming soon 😭
How tf is this "coming for Muse"? lol. People are inspired by random things all the time, them making things you don't like because of it is not besmirching what inspired them.
Entirely joking and half hoping to find people who were also hyped for new music, sorry if that didn't come across. Missing the r/muse subreddit but I can't go back to that site. The connection to Twilight/50 Shades doesn't bother me, I don't even mind Neutron Star Collision and that's explicitly for Twilight lol.
I thought Twilight was Anne Rice fan fic for Mormons.
So many disasters in only one day
Crazy to think 9/11 and Twilight were only 4 years apart.
sir, a second twilight has hit the shelves
One of the darkest moments of 9/11 is when Mark Whalberg missed his flight
They left him on Mars?!
