tumblr girls will post their most fucked up fantasies about getting kidnapped and used and then be scared to go outside when the lights are off

One thing I find fun about fictional characters is that you can make them ANYTHING and someone, somewhere will look at them and think "...Damn I wanna fuck that"

do you really want a hot girl to rape you or are you just so overwhelmed by the interpersonal politics of sex that being raped actually seems less intimidating

funny callout time: do you like when people find you crying hot, or do you just want to feel like you are allowed to express emotions around those you love and you won't get punished for it?

It is a special kind of hubris to believe every living thing is worthy of love, and to leave yourself out.

If every living thing deserves love and respect and care, would it not then follow that if you do not, you must not be a living thing? Or if you concede that you are, in fact, living, then the only logical conclusion is that you must be some sort of god.

What hubris, to compare oneself to a god. But also, what pain.

What sort of folly of human nature, to see the good in everything but yourself? What failings of culture and society that everyone is deserving of happiness but you? What importance can you have in any grand plan or scheme when you think nature made a mistake allowing you to be alive?

You say nature shaped everything the way it was meant to be? Then why not you. You say things will work out how they need to? Then why not for you. You say that everyone has someone who makes their day a little better? Then why can you not be that person for someone else?

This world is beautiful and cruel and loving and desolate and wonderful.

People are beautiful and cruel and loving and desolate and wonderful.

It is simply how the world is.

Good. And bad. Just as there are yin and yang, just as one cannot exist without the other.

Does everyone hate you? No

Does everyone love you? Also no.

But, most likely? More people love you than don't.

Because you are worthy of love.

And you are allowed to want it.

You are allowed to crave it.

And you are allowed to ask for it.

Those around you cannot love you in the way you need unless you show them how. They cannot read your mind.

Show them. Let yourself be loved. It makes life sweeter.

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

can y’all imagine sending one of those things where a girl texts her man about having a bad day or wanting coffee or something and he replies by sending her an insane amount of money (like $100+) to eddie, and just being like “why don’t you ever do this for me? 😐” as a joke

and then the man just sends you one (1) fucking dollar.

and when you’re like “REALLY??? A DOLLAR???” he just goes “I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME IM BROKE”

it would become an inside joke, him randomly sending you the smallest amounts of money possible and just going “buy yourself something nice 😏” or “don’t spend this all at once baby” to be a little shit

god i love eddie munson
