Conspiracy theories & chill

Image
 If like me you love a conspiracy theory, more so a light hearted one that you don’t have to think much about then this post is definitely for you.  When reality isn’t strange enough, leave it to the internet to craft wild tales about our favourite celebrities, movies, and even cartoons. Buckle up, because we’re going down the rabbit hole of some of the most iconic pop culture conspiracies.    The Beatles Never Existed Yes, you read that right. A slice of the internet believes The Beatles weren’t a real band but instead a rotating cast of actors and stand-ins. The theory claims that their insane touring schedules and evolving looks couldn’t possibly be the work of the same four lads from Liverpool. Apparently, no one considered that time, stress, and dodgy 60s hairstyles might’ve played a role. The Disney "Frozen" Theory  Fans have speculated that Disney's hit movie  Frozen  was a deliberate distraction. From what? Well, it’s believed that Walt Disney'...

The franchise that made me fall in love

Alright, let’s talk about a cornerstone of horror cinema—my love for the   Scream   franchise. It's a series that not only embraces its genre but gleefully reinvents it, reminding us why we fell in love with scary movies in the first place. It was in fact the first horror/slasher film I ever watched and what made me fall in love with the horror genre.  First, can we give a standing ovation to Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson for kicking it off back in 1996? The beauty of  Scream  lies in how it fuses a gripping slasher narrative with a wink-and-nod commentary on the horror genre itself.

Ghostface doesn’t just hunt victims—he toys with them, turning the simple act of answering the phone into a death sentence. Each movie thrives on suspense, twists, and self-aware humor, which makes re...

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

Today’s social and political climate is increasingly and incredibly terrifying. Seeing what has been happening the past few years has been so heartbreaking for me as i’m sure it has many others. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community I truly believe we aren’t free until we’re all free and our trans brothers and sisters are definitely not. Over the years we came a long way and for a while things were looking positive but now we’re regressing not progressing when it comes to the trans community having the exact same rights as cis people and being able to live their lives without the fear of oppression, transphobia and physical danger.  The recent supreme court decision in the UK will only raise the cases of transphobia, it already has. The amount of posts i’ve seen on social media from transphobes this past few days is disheartening. They aren’t afraid to openly be bigots anymore.  I personally will never be able to wrap my mind around the reason for it. Trans people don’t want ext...
