the one thing you cant replace

Digital circus' biggest problem is that it was written to be a niche show aimed at weird analytical queers with actual media literacy and it accidentally blew tf up and hit the mainstream and a bunch of people who have never had a second thought about anything got into it

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I want to say unironically that this process of describing something to tumblr followers and then begging them to find it is a better search engine than the rest of the market right now. This was an act of desperation after increasingly frustrated searching and not even duckduckgo got me there but within 0.0001 second of posting on here--results immediately. the future of knowledge searching lies in direct crowdsourcing as we've all been enshittified back to "asking around"

the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole

actually fucking disgusting that glasses cost any money like if you actually think about it for more than a few seconds it is so unconscionably inhumane. this goes for things like insulin and mobility aids and hearing aids too ofc but fuck man, fucking glasses? the thing you need to fucking see? its genuinely sickening and inhumanly evil that those cost ANYTHING.

not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally

i hate the word spicy can we bring back calling things erotic

rolling up to Wendy's to get an erotic chicken sandwich

Ahh, it’s back

i have disproportionately strong feelings about this.

once these 15 million different stressful situations resolve themselves I’m gonna be so normal again. I can be normal and not exhausted

Homestuck is weird bc if you just read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia, it’s overly complicated and makes no sense. But if you read Homestuck from the beginning, it boils you like a frog. You don't even really notice how increasingly convoluted the plot is getting. Several Acts in and youre saying shit like “The doomed-timeline Dave that post-retcon Jade dated is a different version of the Dave that fused with an alien catgirl” like it's the most reasonable thing in the world

The book isn't being burned, erased from existence, it's being altered, changed in its meaning to all who behold it (and putting meaning into the actions of those who alter it). Moreover it plainly spells out a crucial message to anyone squeamish about defacing a piece of literature they might feel attached to: it's just a book, it's okay to let it go.
