Some Locusts

all my haters become cicaders when i enter the summer of success

What's something your OC has done that makes them feel guilty but they can never apologize for?

Everyone needs to stop saying death of the author when what they mean is separating the art from the artist. Like FR stop it.

I know it's mainly just ignorance of what the term means but I do wonder if this happens in part bcos 'death of the author' sounds so dramatic like oh this author is dead to me, I don't care about them anymore. Whereas 'separating the art from the artist' is a lot more neutral and well. In CERTAIN CASES it is kind of immediately apparent that you cannot.

love that glados says "we've both said a lot of things you're going to regret" when chell is like, mute

idgaf about palace intrigue just let me chill

can you at least not eat poisoned food when you have been told in advance its poisoned

juat let mw chj

for real tho it feels exhausting that ive seen this whole "woman should be allowed to abstain from X beauty standard" -> "i perform X beauty standard, am i evil? do you think im evil? please forgive me i came up with a dozen excuses 🥺" since like 2015 (and i know its been going on longer than that) like girl thats not the poiiiiint

look me in the eyes. repeat after me. "i face societal pressure to perform this beauty standard. i should not face that pressure. i conform to this standard. i am rewarded for performing to this standard. i need to respect women who do not perform this standard. this is not about whether or not i am a sinner for wearing makeup."

This reminds me of my corsetmaker days when i found myself searching for "extra thick boning."

we are in the midst of a friday ass thursday. keep your wits about you.

idk i just feel like "it is more acceptable and in fact encouraged to mock anything enjoyed primarily by women" and "being enjoyed primarily by women does not make thing feminist and righteous" are thoughts that can and should coexist

oh and also "even if the thing is bad your criticism of it can come from a place of patronising misogyny"
