The storm approaches

one day it'll happen to you. you will stay up a bit too late playing a video game and not get to bed on time. I've done it before, you'll think. I'll be fine. but no. you will make it through most of the next day and then at about 2pm you will feel like a reanimated corpse whose sim meters are all completely fucked and nothing hurts exactly but everything does feel very bad. and you'll think oh yeah. I'm not twenty anymore

No joke you guys NEED to get more comfortable blocking people. No more insulting people in public over different blorbo opinions no more making 2k long posts on how whatever ship you don't like shouldn't exist we've grown past that shit. Consistent posts about shit that make you uncomfortable? Block. Rancid blorbo opinions? Block. Is mildly annoying in your replies? Block. Pisses you off for reasons so petty you could never admit it publicly? Block. YOUR mental health will improve from not being upset 24/7, THEIR mental health will not be at risk of you lashing out because you happened to catch their posts on a bad day, and EVERYONE ELSE will benefit from not seeing the most embarrassing arguments known to man on their dash. "Oooh but they didn't deserve it-" dude you're presumably running a personal blog as a hobby not a public service. Who fucking cares.

i feel so defensive and protective of people with ARFID like if i had a disorder that made my brain register 90% of food as poison for no reason and i had a bazillion people on the internet constantly calling me a manchild who needs to just grow up and stop being a picky eater i would start killing people

people with ARFID and people with very few autism safe foods and people with contamination OCD and people in ED recovery and everyone else with a complicated relationship with food that no one takes seriously GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!

ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on

FUCK this post and happy birthday sonic

every day i get a little madder about the ‘dream job’ narrative… all i want is to have a job that benefits society somewhat, doesn’t abuse me, and lets me live a happy life outside of my job lol. jobs should not be (and arguably can’t be) cosmic destinies and identities

not to dwell on "The Game Last Night" but it's fascinating how Jimmy Beast seems to actively and uncritically want to be a diabolical torment nexus operator but is too genuinely incompetent to have any success or intrigue not reliant on the infinite money glitch of ad revenue from an audience of literal children

The most striking conclusion to me still is The Man Of The Beast outright asking actual competent video creators the question of "how do you create fandom". For one because it's an interesting question on its own that I could meander about for a while, analyzing what patterns in a creative work are compelling enough to create that specific means of collaborative engagement. For two because it's just incredibly funny to have it laid so bare that he just. Lacks The Sauce. there's literally Nothing to The Empire Of The Beast other than getting lucky from the infinite money glitch and the most shallow branding possible to stabilize the money glitch's feedback loop enough to somehow put ugly bulging plastic blue tigers on Target shelves because. the channel's pfp is a tiger. I guess.

16 likes on tiktok is embarrassing but 16 likes on tumblr is like winning a grammy
