99. Pathetic — Blame Candy

My palm's pressed up against my face My brain is scattered all over the place I'm working harder than I need to be Because you won't allow my life to be easy Ooh, it's problematic even though you'd profit too You're having trouble sleeping, and I think I know why 1460 days since we were alright But now you're just pathetic, I said it You are pathetic

Ooh, I've been sitting on this one for so long! The first 8 or so songs on dbhc X's playlist portray the gradual deterioration of Xisuma's psyche throughout season 8 under Android 24's command and control; Pathetic actually comes right after Again & Again on the list, as Xisuma's dread turns to self-deprication spun by 24's demands and manipulation. His self-appointed derpiness kind of becomes a weapon turned against him, and the playful self-bashing becomes something 24 canonically uses against him (see: Evil X always calling Xisuma a derp, and 'foolish axolotl' etc) to admonish his efforts and ideas.

Even though this song is on Xisuma's playlist, I imagine most of the lyrics (namely, the ones bolded above) are coming from Android 24, coming from an annoyed, flippant, and demeaning place.

You! Internalize that you do not always need to "improve your art/craft" now! It's great to learn and develop your skills, but you do not need to come from a place of hating where you are now! You certainly do not need to force yourself to improve if it is coming in between you and enjoying the things you do. Improvement for improvements sake does not have to be the only goal, nor the only one that "should matter"

You are allowed to have motifs, enjoyment, ameturism, and "less skill." Kill and devour the capitalist in your head that dictates that you must always improve for everybody else's sake and your "productivity."

I'm honestly still a little distraught over having caused someone serious distress the other day reblogging their old, low-notes post. Sometimes when you see something while searching for different things it feels like something is just there but then if you actually stop and look it's clear that person is a very out-of-sight blogger in their own near-ghost town section of Tumblr, and this happened before and I felt bad about it then too even though that person was not as distressed.

Because, like, I do have an audience, and even if someone is saying something bad it would be really cruel to deliberately drag them into the spotlight like that, or to not do everything you can to prevent it from happening even if by accident.

And, honestly, it did kinna turn into a small dogpile, because I'm a much bigger blog than than that'n, and it was probably a bit frightening for it to suddenly seven seven people replying to it negatively when it originally got six notes total. I think that huge jump is me finally recognizing that, oh, fuck, I am actually a fairly popular Tumblr user at this point, and I have to make absolutely sure I'm not being careless about that. The first time I was accused of harassing people, I think I had like, three hundred followers? And it was so weird getting accused of leveraging power I didn't have. But that was almost a year ago, and now I do have a modicum of power I have a responsibility to keep in check.

Thankfully I was able to DM the few people who reblogged it from me to delete it before it could spread any further.

From now on, because I'm mortified at the thought of this happening again, I'm going to be using anonymized screencaps a lot more than I have up to now. I know I'm all like "oh keep it to your Discord server if you don't want to be called an asshole for being a asshole" but there is a huge power imbalance between someone with as many followers hanging on to my every word as I have and someone who goes out of their way to keep a low-profile.

If were to keep doing as I have been, and I reblogged another random no notes obscure blog, I would actually just be doing what I get accused of doing, i.e. harassing random people and thowing my followers at them like Pikmin. Carelessness is no excuse and if I can't reliably count on myself to make sure a post is appropriate to directly engage with in public, then I just need to start directly engaging with posts in public a lot less often.

I'll also request that you, Velvet Nation, remember to always be on your best behavior. And, like, I don't think this happened here, but just good to keep in mind: never, ever send anyone I reblog in disagreement asks of any kind for any reason.

really, really thinking about that moment in the live album when orpheus sings “persephone, in her mother’s garden… the sun on her shoulders, the wind in her hair…”

and the music swells with the melody and the memory, the weight of it, the feeling slamming right into your chest like a gust of wind that carries springtime with it. the memory of love, the feeling of it taking shape again.
