#I sound so normie

[skunkes]

How do you feel about Dungeon Meshi (i think i spelt that right) getting more popular? I feel like i’ve only seen u post about it but now its popping up a lot more on my twt / tiktok

Mixed feelings! Glad it has an anime now and that ppl are enjoying it, because its really good!

I myself think its annoying when ppl are like "im gatekeeping x media bc its important to me 😡" so thats not how I feel on the other end. It has impacted lots of ppl so if it can get a bigger reach and impact more, thats good. ^_^

if i did not have the time or energy or resources to read it, I would've hated feeling alienated just bc it became a favorite media of mine after the anime came out

Its more like. Idk.

I know ppl who hope it gets Bigger for more official merch but I just don't want it to get Embarrassing ykwim.

I need it to not get so popular that in a few years I'm hiding the volumes from my shelf because its an embarrassing, beat to death thing thats present in every store, backpack, socks, sweater that looks like characters clothing, funko pops, etc. something i cant even enjoy anymore bc its been wrung dry and overexposed and misinterpreted, "of course u like it EVERYONE likes it!" and now I'm tired of it, and wouldn't want ppl to associate me with it LOL 🧿🧿🧿

i lost the post but i saw someone talking about how some of y’all act like being weird is a choice and like. YEAHHHHHHH.

that’s fine, it might be for you. but i just live like this and don’t know any other way. like yeah i’ve worked customer service, i can do innocuous small talk, but anything beyond that, i don’t understand what i’m missing. and it’s frustrating to see the tonal disconnect especially from people who are like “uwu embrace weirdness!!” where they’re like. dressing quirky and talking about bugs and listening to obscure music and eschewing small talk to ask Deep Questions on the first date and unlearning their tendency to not infodump. and generally have an idea of what Weirdness is supposed to look like. idk man some of us wake up and get out of bed and can’t figure out why the rest of their coworkers chitchat with each other but when they join the conversation it dies.

weirdness is value neutral. let’s stop trying to turn it into a badge because quite frankly, it’s not a choice for everyone. it’s fucking exhausting to never be on the same wavelength as other people and they’re going to react the way they do and label you the way they will without any conscious actions on your end. it’s difficult to talk about this without feeling like you’ll be dismissed as immature, a teenager whining “no one understands me” but the thing is. sometimes you don’t grow out of feeling alone and different, and there’s no good way to talk about it without feeling like people will think you’re just fishing for pity.

i need to pin him down like a bug in a glass case. i need to bite him and feel it in my mouth like how alginate does taking a mold of your teeth. i need to get into a knife fight with him. i need to keep a lock of his hair in an envelope. i need to eat out his wounds. i need to be put down like a lame horse

Sooo I ended up seeing Benjamin live last night. Found out about the gig five hours before showtime lmao there was also a m&g right after the gig and I got a selfie with him 🥰

sorry if this is extraordinarily pretentious but I do think it's wild that lobe piercings count as piercings in the same way a lip piercing does. it feels wrong. I have never thought of ear piercings as real piercings it seems like you should just be born with those right like they should be just in there naturally

I just noticed that Manic's singing voice in Sonic Underground just straight up sounds like Silver help me help help help

Spending your formative teenage years on tumblr dot com instead of other websites or outside will induce a really baffling worldview that I can only describe as "Cave Madness" which is really difficult to explain or do anything about

WDYM TIKTOK FOUND IHNMAIMS

[idlebug]

finding a blog that posts cool art music and fashion: 😁

all the other posts are reminiscent of 2014 "pale blogs", full of "ballet aesthetic" adjacent images, very pale thin women's bodies / exploitative model photography, childish anime girls in sexy poses with meme text over them, and text posts from op talking about dieting and skincare: 🙁

Laughed at by my mom I came out to for having a normie name

[angryisokay]

i've been digging through a bunch of music lately because i am being very normal and sane about the possibility of my second rodeo on the picket line. by making a strike playlist.

and holy fuck, i get it, okay. solidarity forever, casey jones, which side are you on. i. get. it.

it's a fuckin slog to find other pro-labor/union/worker songs that also fit the vibe i'm trying to aim at. i'm gonna pad the playlist with more normal music too, so i'm not actually mad about it, just tired of looking and getting the same dozen song recs from different sources.

i think i'll change track and look for general 'rah rah, fight on' kind of music.

today i spent SEVERAL minutes contemplating the difference between "sympathetic villain" and "charismatic villain" and whether fandom as a whole confuses these categories sometimes

[bunnihearted]

the thing is i hate seeking medical attention for anything bc health care workers are rude af and i hate them, i hate talking to them bc they suck soooo much energy out of you. they're supposed to be there for you, but it really is the other way around lol. no i hate talking to them bc they're so unpleasant to talk to or even be around. you have to literally demand them to help you even a little bit, and im too exhausted. they arent even nice or helpful in the slightest smh
