I know I am one. Are you the same anon who keeps harassing me because I hate Noah Schnapp? hehe.

Also, you will age like me. How will you prevent it? I hope you will not end your life if that scares you so bad.

I hate how fandom has become "if you haven't created anything in this very specific time frame after the release of the show/movie, everyone will have moved on"

And call me old fashioned, but that's just not me. I sometimes take ages to create and publish. And I will love a show or movie for such a long time (years, babes, years) that I just can't relate to the fast consumerism that's going on.

Because, let's be real, it can get really lonely in a fandom if most have simply moved on to the next shiny thing. Is what's created less worth, just because it was created outside the hype? Why is it such a taboo for this new fandom generation to love an old or "late" fic or art?

It's so tiring and I'm too old for the 30-seconds-hype-tiktok-shit. Just tired. So, so tired.

Yall remember how Texas had that "report an abortion" form that they had to take down after a week?

Well, Missouri has one, only it's for reporting transgender concerns.

Comrades. Friends. Romans. Countrymen. You know what to do.

sometimes I feel ashamed about my age and then I remember that it's not something I can control and it's not my fault that my parents didn't fuck in the middle ages and people who make fun of people for being young are stupid

I can't believe I got age and single shamed in matter of minutes today at work. This is why I try to keep to myself at work. Nosy ass co-workers always asking people their business.

What are we in the Little House on the Prairie era? Like, I don't need to get married. It's 2023 and people can choose to be single.

It's bad enough you have family expecting kids and marriage from me but now I gotta deal with that shit at work to.

A few hours ago I was reading a thread from a woman who said :

At 30, we are already considered old, so imagine at 60 ! There is in our society a culture of youth put forward by big brands, by the media, especially on the internet (place where "young people" spend most of their time). Youth is associated with beauty, vitality, only positive things, while old age is perceived as negative and ugly... While most "older people" live better and are happier and more optimistic than the younger generations. Stop with age-shaming (as a reminder, age-shaming is discrimination !)

No one can deny the fact that Till and the other members of Rammstein have aged, physically (because frankly mentally they are still big kids). Wrinkles have deepened, hair and beard hair have turned white. But that's where it ends !

Till is full of energy on stage, he exudes such charisma, you just have to hear the screams when he appears on stage or when he passes from one side of the b-stage to the other! On stage, he walks all the time, always in action, headbanging or doing his Till Hammer. Not only does he still have plenty of energy but he remains very physically strong to push the cradle during Puppe, the giant pot during Mein Teil or to carry on his back and climb the two meters of slopes from the backstages to the stage with the 25kg of the backpack on his back. Many "young people" would not be able to do what he does ! He has even gained muscle compared to last year !

And his voice !! My god his voice ! Still as powerful, still as deep and still embodying his song ! It even took on a grain that it didn't have before, which gives it even more charm !

We know that Till is a hard worker (Olaf Heine described him as the "hardest working man in showbiz"), that he works all the time on several projects at the same time, it is a vital need for him. And above all, what is in my opinion the most important, he still wants to be on stage, he still wants to offer us the best show, something that is close to his heart. The day he no longer has this desire, that he no longer has this flame that inhabits him, then everything will stop... And his age will have nothing to do with it.

Till looks super fit on recent photos, people are insane

Hi 👋🏻

Apparently, people have some strong opinions on Till and his aging process yet again, this time over on Tiktok (explained in this post by @rammingthestein). Apart from the fact that I'll never understand why people have no filter online and feel absolutely comfortable to share their unasked for (and most of the time negative) opinions about others, it's baffling to me that once again, the aging process of a grown man is criticized, by people who call themselves fans and are apparently literal children (16 year olds seemingly). I haven't seen these comments (I try to stay away from Tiktok apart from concert videos and memes my sister sends me) so I won't dive into what could've been said too much since I don't have much knowledge of it, all I can say is this:

I saw Till last year live, I saw him this year live twice, one time up close (him hovering on his canon 2 meters above me was a highlight of my existence), and let me you. He seems to be much more energetic than last year, his voice is INSANELY good (to the point that my mom and I simultaneously turned to each other looking like this 😳 when he started to sing at the concert) and this is just one really beautiful man with the most melancholic eyes. Of course he is aging, of course he has wrinkles and such, and apparently also some sort of problem with his hip (at least it looks a bit like it when he walks), but the man is 61. This is normal. Let Till, who had to go through a lot in his life, age in peace.

We can feel quite blessed that all of band members felt healthy enough (physically and mentally) to go on yet another tour leg this year. Let's just leave it there. I sometimes have the feeling that this broader sense of thinking is missing in a lot of (young) people's heads.

Something that I've noticed ever since the Smiling Critters were introduced is that they can so easily be paired off into complementary duos, ones that are specifically designed to teach children fundamental lessons about life and self-care from two different angles. It's really interesting to me.

Like obviously you have Dogday and Catnap, with their sun/moon, dog/cat dichotomy, that stress how important it is to have fun and get things done during the day, but also that it's important to wind down, relax, and get a good night's sleep.

-

Bubba Bubbaphant and Craftycorn were introduced as a duo in the Smiling Critter show's intro, and their dichotomy is quite obvious. They are basically the right and left sides of the brain personified. Bubba is the left side of the brain, logical, analytical, focused on math and science. Craftycorn is the right side of the brain, creative and imaginative, focused on the arts and self-expression. They represent learning and academia in all its forms, the different ways people engage with and understand the world.

-

Hoppy Hopscotch and Kickin' Chicken form the sportsmanship duo. They are both portrayed as enjoying sports and the outdoors, but in different ways that highlight the different ways sports can be played and enjoyed and also what it entails to be successful at them. Hoppy Hopscotch may be loud and impatient, but she is also a team player, shown in her willingness to slow down her fast pace to make sure none of her friends are left behind. Kickin' Chicken, on the other hand, is laid-back, relaxed, and chill, the described "cool kid" of the group, but he's also described as having a ton of perseverance, more of a "slow and steady wins the race" type of person.

-

This leaves Bobby Bearhug and Picky Piggy as the last pair. Fittingly, these two are all about how to meet the fundamental needs of yourself and others. Bobby teaches children how to nourish themselves emotionally through showing and receiving care from others, while Picky teaches them how good food is important to nourish the body and soul. Depriving oneself of either of these things only makes oneself and therefore everyone around one miserable, because those fundamental needs are no longer being met.

-

Like fr, this is some pretty genius marketing right here. You have enough characters that every kid will have their favorite, but not so many that any would get lost in the shuffle, because the lessons each one of them would teach would be integral to the group as a whole. It really makes me that much sadder we saw basically nothing of the Smiling Critters during the game itself, because Mob Games struck gold with this concept, only to ultimately do nothing with it. :/

But I guess that's what fandom is for, eh?

Joel SmallishBeans mentions that he looks at fanart on tumblr.

“He’s here!” People scream, “Scatter!”

As everyone runs away, I, unmoving, look him dead in the eye & say,

“Let him watch.”

Vaggie no (i say, knowing she literally did this XD)

[elllteo]

That voice has taught you wrong.

You can't outrun yourself, you can't guilt yourself away until you are left with someone "good".

You can't cut away a shadow, it will follow where you go.

You can't treat yourself like a solvable problem.

You are unfixable.

You were never broken to begin with.

Just taught wrong.

Guess who's NOT working on things they're supposed to again </3

Anywaaays Strider siblings go to rewatch the Barbie movie :3
