And he kept doing it. Scene after scene.

He spent the film expecting someone to make a joke about how unserious things were or to break the fourth wall or do some other self referential type thing.

Now, maybe I'm just at that point in my cycle or maybe I'm too delicate in general, but I literally teared up hearing that. Straight up cried a bit. It is so fucking sad that sincerity and genuineness is being bred out of people.

People say all the time 'this generation can't take anything seriously!' and really, is it any wonder? Younger people have been trained out of it. You are no longer encouraged to be genuine or show emotion or be honest. You are actively punished for it. In fact, you are almost guaranteed to suffer for it.

That is so fucked up. I'm sorry to go on a bit of a random ramble rant but it's so fucking gut wrenching to see younger people lose that element of themselves. You can't express your passion without being told you're 'crashing out' or 'cringe'. You have to live in this neutral state of fear of perception, and god forbid anybody step outside of it!

You're told you should only consume and succumb and be ironic and emotionless and cool.

Listen, if you're following me and you're like.... 25 or under, let's say. Please. I beg of you. Do not fall for this rhetoric. Please, for the love of all things, feel. Feel and create and be honest with yourself. Indulge in things that make you happy. Be sincere. Wear your heart on your sleeve. Do not let this hyper-capitalistic, hyper-consumerist, self-centred, individualist culture take that from you.

Nobody's going to magically swoop into rescue you. You can't just sit there and expect someone else to come save you. You have to get your shit together and do it yourself.

About 90% of the time, the "it" you have to do on your own is pushing yourself to walk up to someone else and use your words to say "hey I need help."

Image #3: kosmogrl: #um guys, I think we need to stop waiting for 'the right time' and just start doing the things we want whenever because the right time's never gonna come, and if we keep waiting it's just gonna turn into an endless cycle

Image #4: proBuccalFat: #it's fucking wild because one day you're like i guess i'm not dying tragically young and you go to the store and you buy dental floss, ingredients for soup, and a bath mat

Image #5: northernstrcr: they were right btw. you have to dig yourself out of your grave over and over again

Image #6: soracities: some days you really do have to just find and wrench one tiny thing from the world w the determination of a hog digging out truffles and make it your anchor. raindrops on a window. smell of the bakery in the supermarket. single defiant tuft of grass between the cracks of the pavement. etc. hold it all w equally grubby and defiant hands.

Image #7: glowCowBoy: gonna take a hot shower and put on a big t shirt and my undies and i'm gonna sit on the floor and color at my coffee table like im 6 years old again and then i'll feel better

Image #8: superOrganism: you have to be annoying and do everything as passionately and genuinely as possible because we live in a world where everyone operates though sixteen layers of post irony and to love with recklessness is literally counterculture.

It was one of the most complex drawings I’d had in mind for quite a while. I’m already starting to hyperfixate on the flaws. But more than anything, I’m happy that I pushed myself to work on it and actually finish it.

sorry to put your tags on blast on this insane breach containment post I have since muted, but you're right and you should say it.

yes (coco) but also can you ever truly have one favourite qifling? they're a multipack you have to keep them together
