a Real Actual Mongolian throat singer told me, when asked about the meaning of the lyrics, that they are often about horses and ranching and women, or are folk songs. “Its very similar to the country music you have here. Mongolia is a lot like Montana, actually.”
Behold! Kongar-ol Ondar’s “Good Horses” from the album “Back Tuva Future”
I highly reccomend the whole album. They sample Richard Feynman!

HOLY SHIT glad i made this post
for something related, but squarely of a different ilk
This is not a joke. I was at a first-night showing tonight, and my immediate thought was how disasterously unsafe this movie is for my photosensitive epilepic friends. @markingatlightspeed I’m tagging you with this specifically because I feel that this would be extremely dangerous for you to watch.
There are multiple scenes in this movie with full-screen, black-and-white flashing strobe effects. They all happen without warning, and last anywhere between a few seconds to more than two minutes. In a darkened movie theater, this means the likelihood of a seizure could be VERY HIGH if you are sensitive to these effects.
If you have photosensitive epilepsy or another disorder that is triggered by strobe lights, I would highly recommend you DO NOT SEE THE INCREDIBLES 2 IN THEATERS. Wait until the movie’s released on digital/Bluray, and you can watch it in a fully-lit room, with someone with you who will be able to help if the strobe effects do trigger a seizure.
No but really. Deadpool 2 was dripping in queer culture. It’s not just the scenes between Wade and Colossus or Wade and Cable. It’s not just the inclusion of a wlw couple who are happy, healthy, and completely unsubjected to the male gaze.
It’s the real villains being conversion therapists weilding Christianity as a tool to abuse children. It’s the X-Men universe as a metaphor–sometimes for racism, sometimes for ableism, sometimes for other forms of oppression, but in this movie it’s specifically treated as metaphor for queerphobia.
It’s that fucking soundtrack. That soundtrack is queer culture as fuck. It’s every moment of macho hypermasculine competence porn and slow-mo action that would normally cater to the power fantasies of a straight cis male audience being undercut by a heartfelt pop ballad…or Enya. Or Dolly Parton. And ending up more dramatic, more cinematic, more awesome because of it.
It’s the most heartfelt moment in the film basically being Deadpool giving a real, sweet, kind It Gets Better speech to Russell. It’s the most sweetly romantic “het” scene in the film ending with Vanessa pointing out Wade’s obvious attraction to Colossus.
It’s poking fun at gritty grimdark storytelling, at macho storytelling, at lazy writing, at the superhero genre in general.
It’s the feeling you get when watching it that every single moment which could have been construed as pandering to a straight cis male audience’s desires was hunted down and subverted intentionally at every stage of this film’s creation.
Deadpool 2 is Queer Culture. Happy 20Gayteen kids. *throws confetti*
yes this, this is 100% accurate amen.
*aggravated fistbump* This movie was not subtle and I for one am 100000% here for it.
Also the fact that the “It Gets Better” speech leaned towards “there’s bad people in the world, but there are more good ones that bad ones” and not the usual “There’s bad people in the world, get used to it” is queer culture
Wisdom teeth are so weird cause my body is like, “hey I know you are done growing but would you like some…MORE TEETH???? And I’m like, “hell no, theres no room,” but then my body is still like *slamming fists on table* “more teeth! MORE TEETH! MORE TEETH!MORE TEETH! M O R E T E E T H”
Oh there’s no room? That’s fine we’ll just gRoW TheM IN FuvKiNg SIDEWAYS
