Practically Perfect in Every Way

hey man I found a piece of your soul stuck in the text messages of old friends you don’t speak to anymore. do you want it back

The thing about Cottagecore is that is a fetishized aesthetic of country life, divorced from labor and idealized by a primarily urban audience with a backward looking ethos of tradition. They are not prepared for the stresses of a rural life: farming; harvesting; tapping pumpkins to ensure none of them have been replaced with flesh; losing out on income by having to use one of your pigs in a blood sacrifice to paint protective sigils over your doors and windows; checking cracks and chimneys for the flesh-vines of the Pumpkin Lord; having to decide, before the Growth is complete, whether that's really your tradwife or an amassment of vines, leaves, and blood in the shape of your tradwife; ignoring their desperate pleas that "I'm me! No! No!" as you burn them alive, realizing too late you picked wrong; and the exploitative corporate nature of commercial farming in 2024. All seen through a deeply colonial lens, of course

To be fair that’s what all posts on tumblr are

Bitch because you need it.

I imagine that this makes the museum extra creepy after hours.

I think they probably gently gather the bowls up to roost overnight in a warm hutch full of straw.
