Fully loaded. You’re more than welcome to come with us.
Okay I have writing promises to keep but I need to scream about this for JUST ONE MOMENT. (okay no first tho, ‘you’re more than welcome’ oh god what Furiosa what, what’s coming out of your mouth, do you realize Furiosa has like 100 lines in this movie, she uses short sentences, she doesn’t waste words. what is she. what is falling out of her mouth.)
And this bike tho.
Check out his bike.
Look at all the fabric on it. That’s not fabric scavenged from War Boys. That’s Vuvalini fabric. All except his new neck scarf, which the costuming behind the scenes notes indicate is a status symbol among War Boys. And he doesn’t appear to have it the night before despite the chillyness.
It’s the same fabric. Did she seriously just promote him secretly? Like, oh hey, here’s this scarf, you’ll probably find it useful. (oh hey, here’s this medal of honor, I think you can make use of the pin. oh hey, here’s this cop car, you should drive it. Oh hey wear this doctor’s lab coat… YOU JUST DON’T DO THAT.) Just imagine Max going back to the Citadel and the War Boys automatically calling him Imperator and his deeply deeply confused face.
But back to the bikes, even more, compare:
Nux and Capable in the back, then a trailer, then two bikes, another half-full trailer with a vuvalini riding it, then a bunched up group in front:
Now Max is the lead bike, Furiosa’s bike doesn’t have any gear on it.
For the most part there’s maybe half the amount of stuff on their bikes as that which’ve been crammed onto Max’s. Even taking into account the the amount that’s been crammed onto the trailers, you have to admit that Max’s bike is more than just “fully loaded”, if we assume a fully-loaded bike is the average bike you see here.
Now I just want you to imagine Max’s awkward face as the Vuvalini all try to press things into his hands and giving him head daps and Furiosa not even looking because she tried yesterday, dammit, and he already told her no and she’s busy checking things over kthxbye.
shoutout to all the american LGBT+ kids who are forced farther into the closet from hearing their parents’ homophobic slurs from today’s news. You’re all amazing and you dont deserve to have to live with parents like this.
The most glaring problem with so-called traditionalism is that it’s not historically accurate. People have been having gay sex since forever. People have been having interracial sex since forever. So what tradition are you referring to exactly? Nationalism? That shit’s only been around for like 150 years and even then two nightmare wars later and people are weary as fuck of those kind of attitudes.
The idea that people in the past were morally pure is a pervasive myth. Do you know that humans were making mead before they were growing crops? Do you know that there’s a reason prostitution is called “the oldest profession”? Have you seen the dirty graffiti they sprawled on the walls in Pompeii?
Traditionalists are suffering from the fallacy of presentism, the belief that things around them that they don’t like are new and the things they do like have been around for a long long time. Unfortunate for them, history disagrees.
