Yknow it's funny that we always get into the mental anguish of Jiang Cheng with the core but only the physical pain of Wei Wuxian.

Because you cannot convince me that Wei Wuxian did not feel just a little bit bitter.

Like that wasn't part of the downfall in his relationship with Jiang Cheng.

Not simply cause Wei Wuxian regretted it or anything, I know he didn't regret it and would most likely do the same if he's in that situation again.

But you can't tell me he didn't look at Jiang Cheng and feel at least a tinge of anger and resentment especially when he was constantly surrounded by that energy.

And you can't convince me that it is also the reason he maintains a certain distance with Jiang Cheng post sunshot until it all goes to shit anyway.

You think he blamed Jiang Cheng for losing his core when he was stuck and suffering in the burial mounds just a little? You think that's why he didn't immediately seek out Jiang Cheng even though he did move around enough to get his revenge.

You think he hated himself for blaming Jiang Cheng even a small amount when he had been the one who made that decision by himself.

You think that post revival WWX cannot stand to be around or even look at Jiang Cheng because he's a reminder of everything that went wrong before he died. Not because it's his fault or anything but because Wei Wuxian cannot let go of the pain of failure and loss when Jiang Cheng stands in front of him an embodiment and connection to everyone Wei Wuxian had held dear.

You think Wei Wuxian looks at Jiang Cheng and remembers every snide comment and his shijie and this time the words do not slide off but dig too deep for him to ignore the pain.

Which is why he avoids him because it hurts but also because he's so afraid. He's so afraid he will fuck up again and Jiang Cheng will lose something because of him and this time he isn't sure he could bring himself to help him with it and he hates that thought.

So the best thing is to leave and go different ways because they wouldn't hurt each other if they aren't next to each other.

Because Wei Wuxian doesn't deal with trauma he "gets over it" by throwing himself into something else.

And what is better than to roam the world with the man he loves and is loved by.

now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.

this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.

remember in 2007 or 2008 when emo was at its peak and gay marriage wasn't legal and so we had boys in eyeliner and skirts making out with each other at the mall in protest. i think we need this again

I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

shoutout to everyone who wants to infodump but cant string together coherent thoughts to form sentences and instead just look at you like this

[jessepinwheel]

I love it when people use "shrimp" to mean "beyond the human range". like "shrimp colors" but applied to other things. "shrimp emotions" "shrimp sounds" "shrimp morality", as if shrimp are living some kind of transcendent existence that humans can never comprehend

i dont see why i cant start a trend, so here goes. lets try to build back our attention spans. lets try to focus on just one thing for as long as possible. lets not watch those "asmr for people with adhd" videos where they fuck up adhd folks even worse. lets resist the urge to reach for our phones when watching a movie. lets read the articles we reblog, even when theyre boring. i know its hard, i have adhd too, but its worth it. i also know that this hard work doesnt always seem super impressive to other people, so id love for yall to tell me in the tags or replies if youve done something, no matter how small, for your attention span. you deserve to feel like youve taken back some of what social media has ripped from you
