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.
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.
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.
One of the darkest moments of 9/11 is when Mark Whalberg missed his flight
They left him on Mars?!
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.
Wildrow Woodruff sounds like a dollar store version of Woodrow Wilson. I have nothing more to contribute. I wish to scorch Utah napalm and mustard gas.
I have a racist uncle that's Mormon (like all of my family). He got shot in the head on his mission in Oakland. Unfortunately, he survived. He said that Oakland should be gassed, I immediately said the same about Salt Lake. He ignored me lmao. I'm going no contact so hard with most of my family.
Funny enough folks like your uncle are exactly why I say we should brutalize Utah, too many folks from outside of SoCal run their mouths about LA. Only San Diego and the Inland Empire can talk about burning down LA, outsiders aren't allowed to talk shit.
Also going through SLC was one of the worst driving experiences that didn't involve black ice or snow that I've ever had, couldn't even look at porn at the rest stop afterwards because of Utah shitty porn laws.
Utah and Idaho are late stage capitalistic theocratic hellscapes. Shame, because Utah is beautiful.
Same with Idaho, the Snake River and Craters of the Moon are godsdamned awe inspiring and then ya talk to the people. The Native Americans are the only particularly tolerable folks, that and the occasional Californian who is up there cause it's cheap.
Oh, I've been on the Snake River, in Montana though. Didn't realize it was that long. My grandparents own a cabin up there in West Yellowstone. We're old money Mormons. It's... not great. One of my ancestors owned a company that paved Salt Lake. Another was the second wife of Joseph Smith's bodyguard. I'll never forgive those dumbasses (there were many more) for what they did to so many people. I'm sure that I'm related to the racist farmers pretty closely, sorry about that. God, I hate most Mormons. It's like they don't have a single hobby or ounce of personality.
Wow that is some old bastard blood ya got, but it ain't your sins nor your crimes. The actions of our ancestors are not our own unless we claim them, three branches of my ancestry helped expand the institution of slavery in the South I repudiat those actions. Those same three branches Harrowed the North back during the Norman conquests which due to the impacts on my ancestry and our history I fully support.
Funnily enough my neighbor when I was a child who was like a grandfather to me came from a similar Mormon background to you. He was a descendant of Brigham Young, he was a good man who wished Young was his contemporary so he could've killed him.
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.
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
Are there more of these? Wild thesisses with no regard to causation/correlation to some extend. Like this seems entirely believeable
We are living in the Dark Harambe timeline too
Kill two birds with one stone
You missed on the occasion to say "two towers with one plane"
so you are the guy throwing stones at bird.
get him boys
"Feed two birds with one seed."
Happy? Now we slowly starve them to death instead.
fine throws seeds at your car
I mean there's Remember Me
