Heteropessimism & Rey Palpatinism
Yes hello, am very busy IRL still, proooobably shouldn't have signed up for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ficinabox or swrarepairs but hey, I managed to complete my assignments and comment on my gifts! Even if I didn't manage to read a single other thing from the collections. But! I exist. And I even wanted to make a post!
1) I discovered a link to Tara Mooknee's video essay on Heterofatalism: WHY straight women aren't okay and watched it, though as always I think text is nicer and headed straight for her sources document. Of those, I enjoyed/found intriguing Indiana Seresin's original essay, Yuhe Faye Wang's essay, Sophie Lewis's related thoughts on the architectural enabling of hedonism (this one was kind of brain-bendy) and the WTFery of straight culture (looking at it from the outside with an exotifying tone), and this excerpt from Jane Ward's book that deals with how heterosexuality itself is new and how the idea that men could/should love women, rather than just exploit them via marriage, is new and the transition to this paradigm is still incomplete. It's 0% applicable to me, but idk, it's also completely new as a theoretical framework and I desperately needed to think about something unrelated to [list of things making me v v busy IRL].
2) While clipping through RotS for Reincarnation, I noticed that Palps uses the same saber technique in his one lightsaber fight that Rey uses in TFA, so I've been thinking about vidsongs for a vid about negative family relations/rejecting the family legacy for a bit. Nothing already in my music library has struck me, so I've looked at myvid_bingo bingo card and gone hunting for 00s songs. (I already know what I'll be doing for character study, have a WIP I could plonk for the free square, and metal/rock is, like, 99% of everything I vid and listen to.) So far my backup plan is to vid something to one of Apocalyptica's instrumentals, but the Rey Palpatine vid feels like it needs vocals, ideally female. I'll be going through the 00s discographies of Stratovarius and Apulanta anyway, as well as re-checking out albums from the 00s already in my music collection (Indica, Katra, Xandria, etc), but if you have any recs for female-fronted metal/rock bands active during 2000 to 2009, please share. (Metal Archives advanced search reveals 1270 albums from the period. Halp.)
