#but hey that was fun

[sightkeeper]

First time every actually watching Eurovision! I took notes because I did not trust my memory of who was who:

Austria - Edgar Allen Poe (funny) Portugal - Gossamer dress good energy

Switzerland - soldier ballad (meh)

Poland - Solo Tropical Brittany (catchy)

Serbia - SciFi theme bland music 

France - pretty lady on a pretty horse, song forgettable

Cyprus - Pretty boy singing another generic ballad

Spain - They definitely had a vision

Sweden - I LIKE THE CLAWS, (isn’t this an older song?)

Albania - I like lead’s costume, forgot the song as soon as it started

Italy - Really like his voice, supposed to be inspirational? (why trampoline extras)

Estonia - ghost piano, Elsa??, super pretty voice

Finland - ALRIGHT BRINGING IT BACK, HUMAN CENTIPEDE??, CRYING WTF I LOVE IT

Czechia - I feel the lead wasn’t super strong, visuals were fun though, ponytail horror

Australia - synthwave car, visuals are way more intense than the song, SAVED IT WITH METAL

Belgium - WORK IT YAS, very fun and cool visuals, the fuck are those pants, top next to finland

Armenia - thank goodness is had a pace pickup, but not enough to save it, cool costume though

Moldova - Eye of sauron mf, great energy, FLUTIST DRAGON

Ukraine - terminator matrix, man work those screens, just a good song

Norway - haunting start, VOICE SO GOOD, rave witch queen I love her, WOW HIGH

Germany - just thank you Germany, costumes and vocals so fucking killer

Lithuania - pretty song and visuals, kinda forgettable though

Israel - Go unicorns! I guess, solid song, don’t know why it cracked me up

Slovania - good song, 70s heartthrob

Croatia - THAT SURE WAS SOMETHING, UNFORGETTABLE 

UK - this song had no chance after the last one

And watching the results, SWEDEN HOW, but at least I liked Sweden even if it’s a lukewarm yay, we all know the real winner was Finland, and I am a Norway stan it’s official

hey since it's coming up again: no it's not a good thing that the government wants to ban tiktok. no you should not be glad that the government might ban tiktok. no you should not respond to this with "good riddance" or "hurry up I hate that app". I should not have to explain this to you but the government banning a social media app is still a bad thing even if you don't like the UI or booktok or having to say "unalive" or how you think it's killing the very notion of attention spans. It's still bad. It's bad.

people online: hi! nice to see you online how's your day been :)

people in real life: its disgusting that theyre teaching woke and lgbt in the schools now. i don't want my kid to grow up ashamed of being white and a man and not an islamist transgender. i just dont see why all these immigrants cant just go back to their own countries

we were sitting on the floor and i was cutting out tiny pictures to make a collage for a friend's birthday. you were on your phone and you laughed about something, and i was still in love with you then, so i asked what had you giggling.

"sorry. i was just..." you took a moment and went back to texting. "i was telling someone about how you're afraid of the dark."

i'm afraid of the dark because something bad happened. "oh." i felt a little slinky of shame crawl down my throat.

you glanced up, and maybe it showed on my face, because you rolled your eyes and held the phone to the side casually so i could see the group chat. "what? was it a secret?"

i looked down to the scissors in my hand. "i just..." no, it's not a secret. it just felt like something private, something serious. saying why would you tell someone that just feels like an accusation. it's unfair. i honestly am not even ashamed of it, it's just a fact about my person that i don't usually share.

what a strange experience. is this a human thing or a generational thing? for our grandparents: did they need to worry about how quickly someone can just... share your personal information? again, i didn't even really have a true objection. what could i say? i want any person in my life to feel they can be honest with their friends. it's not like i said don't tell anyone this.

i cut out another letter to complete the rainbow happy birthday, started hunting for the exclamation mark. i heard you sigh dramatically.

"don't make a big deal about this," you said.

this entire conversation was a pattern for us, and this was when we got to my least favorite part of the pattern. i would get my feelings hurt in some oblique not-technically-terrible way, and then it would be making a big deal about something. you'd get frustrated for me for being soft, but i was born soft. you knew i was soft when you pierced me. it's one of the things that made controlling me so easy.

"i'm not," i felt my voice crack. the question came without my wanting. "why are you guys talking about me?" and why are you saying that thing? why not like - i'm telling them how you're generous and kind and pretty.

you let out this low, tragic groan. "oh my god." you tossed the phone away from your body. "there, see? i just won't talk to them if you don't like it."

the rest of the hour went the way it always went, between us: i said i don't actually mind if you talk to your friends but -, you found a way to call my minor expression of discomfort "being dramatic." you got upset that i had been offended. i ended up apologizing, even though i hadn't actually done anything.

afterwards, you picked up the phone again. after texting for a little bit, you snorted. "okay," you said, "but it is kind of funny you're afraid of the dark. i mean, when you think about it."

Me: "hey game developers, especially AAA ones, are getting laid off en-mass and it's awful for our industry" Gamer: "well I only play INDIE games and the problem with AAA games is they are creatively bankrupt"

Me, slamming my fists on the table like a baby: "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IS ABOUT A BUSINESS PROBLEM PERPETUATED BY CAPITALISM NOT A STATEMENT ON CREATIVE DECISION MAKING"

personal opinion but. the reason tiktok’s ‘zepotha’ isn’t doing great isn’t because of a lack of cohesion or poor reasoning behind it (although I’m sure these would’ve contributed). It’s because when I was first introduced to Zepotha it was as a fake movie concept. And when I was first introduced to Goncharov it was as me spending the entire morning trying to figure out why Tumblr was obsessed with some random movie.
