i’m convinced that the ice age franchise won’t end until the squirrel that always chases after the nut gets an equally hideous girlfriend with Squirrel Tits™
and eyelashes
no….. No
NO
No you don’t understand, I have this entire developed theory about the Ice Age universe which has been cooking up in my mind and has only be reinforced by the latest 5th installment. Scrat is the god of the Ice age universe. The story began with him and the story will end with him. If there weren’t hints before, in this latest installment, it becomes clear that Scrat’s actions dictate what happens on Earth and to the protagonists. Yes, maybe Scart’s only goal is to get the nut, but his actions SHAPE what happens in the film. If we needed any further proof then may I point out something Buck said in the 5th film along the lines of “we’re 6 mins early! Somebody up there likes us!” That phrase is usually used to refer to a god and in this case it’s used to refer (unknowingly) to scrat!
However, there is an ALTERNATE theory that I have been working on. What if Scart isn’t the god of the ice age universe, but rather, the NUT is? As i have already said, Scart’s actions shape the course of the story but what motivates Scart? That’s right: the nut, it is truly because of the nut that Scart does what he does that leads to the events that take place in the story. This would create an interesting metaphor here. Scrat is chasing the nut like man chases divinity. So when will the Ice Age saga end?? When Scart finally gets the nut for good. When man catches God.
i didnt even read this but im laughing at how many times scrat is typoed as scart
What if god is a mortal fabrication? Is the nut Scrat is after even real, or all in his head?
There is something so primal about eating a pomegranate. U and ur friends just gathered around a single one cracked open, reaching in with ur greedy little fingers to shove the seeds in ur mouth while you get the flesh and juice all over the table
ppl are like “oh i don’t know how to eat a pomegranate” u have to activate your baby brain that’s it. you have to eat it like you’re 13 months old and nothing else matters
Imagine hating trans men so much that you read the history of someone who presented as a man for so long that most people only discovered he was ~biologically female~ after his fucking autopsy and be like “well clearly he was just gender fluid” I’m fucking
he specifically asked to be buried in the clothes he died in!!!!! we only know he was trans bc someone disrespected his direct wishes after his death!!!!!!
His name was James Barry, popular culture and academia have largely decided to ignore trans men claiming him as one of our own in favor of the safer “woman disguises herself as a man to achieve success,” and the least he deserves in 2019 is to be respected as the man he lived as after his death (and was subsequently denied for centuries).
I’ve typed a few responses and deleted them and I’m just hear to say that this is completely sickening and historically inaccurate. (The original post, that is. @suyinzhang is completely correct.) Dr. James Barry was a trans man who lived exclusively as a man for over 46 years. There were no “gender-fluid” aspects to his life. He did not tell a soul about his gender assigned at birth–he even managed to keep it a secret from his own personal doctor! I am furious that they have cast a cis woman in this role–furious and very sad. James Barry would not have wanted this.
(Okay, also a nitpick about the image above suyinzhang’s answer–the Victorian era was the 1800s, not the 1700s. Dr. Barry was born in 1795 and didn’t start living as a man until about 1813 and dying in 1859. Know your eras!)
Oh thank God OP doesn’t hate non binary people they just want it to be accurate
