you are loved!

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

formative years? aren’t they all?

show me a permanent self and i will show you a facade or a corpse

*turns my attention inwards* mmmmm. no *turns my attention back outwards* oh god

airplane tickets should be free if you have internet friends you reaaaaaaally want to hunt like prey

This comic is genuinely how I remember which is which.

one of my least favorite genres of posts has gotta be "x professional who literally went to school for this never considered y until i (who proudly has zero knowledge on this subject, therefore making me better than the idiots who wasted their time on it) blessed them with an obvious one sentence answer that stunned them into silence". like. okay so i wasnt there but im putting $10 on them running through scripts to decide whether or not its worth explaining to your dismissive ass why it doesnt work like that. like on a fundamental level

"my math teacher asked me to show my work and was shocked when i introduced them to calculators. i can only assume this is because theyre a bad person" this is how all of those posts sound. and then they have 50k notes.

not to be a joyless hag but I've started seeing genderbent "yuri" shipping Markiplier and Ryan Gosling and I can't help but think of someone I recently I unfollowed for posting that they have an easier time caring about genderbent versions of boy characters than regular fictional women

and I'm also building some connections to that post I made about reading books by Black women (you know the one) and the people who would respond by saying something akin to "joke's on you, I only read fanfic 😜" as if that were some kind of clever loophole and not a demonstration of the exact thing I was talking about

like yes fandom is about fun or whatever but idk man at what point has your desire for no thoughts head empty uncritical consumption left you splashing around in something that's been blended down to an indistinguishable goo for the sake of avoiding anything remotely challenging. with the thing that's "challenging" here being. you know. giving a shit about women and Black people and like frankly anyone but your shippable white men (and honorary Markiplier).
