Seeing my boys get their cards brought me such joy. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU TWO!!! 😭💜

Bitches will be like "damn am I overexaggerating how bad the current landscape is?" And then the top posts in a character tag that's not even involved will be "this post contains filtered tags [ship]"

[gayspock]

not to sound like a cunt but i swear like 2 jokes about something will get passed around and then a load of dipshits will start twisting that everyone is so Utterly Vacuous... god forbid if every post you post to your tumblr blog is not an indepth reflection of your thoughts and feelings. for your tumblr blog is reflective of your Inner mind and soul and you must summon yourself to the Calling of crafting the most perfect and eloquent analysis of the video essay that dropped 2 fucking days ago .

When someone tells you they don't like hugs, that's not an invitation for you to "cure them". It is not a "you" thing, although sometimes it might be. You thinking "they have to get used to it" because "your hugs are different" and "that's how you show love" is not a valid argument. Hugging them out of the blue as a goodbye is not cool either. Fuck off.

Part of growing up and maturing is accepting the fact that I actually do like math (which is a realization I had very recently, to be honest...)

[seveneyesoup]

the thing about nbc hannibal was that hannibal lecter himself was such a like. bad person that it made it really obviously completely clear whenever anyone’s hate for characters on the show was just bigotry

[crmsndragonwngss]

If there was a god, that headline would read “RINGS OF SATURN are done”

Anyway, here’s the article. Mind you, Lucas Mann is saying this two years after their vocalist left, so what he actually means is “no vocalist will work with me because I’m a giant fucking tool,” but y’know. Optics or whatever. They also got kicked off Nuclear Blast at the same time cuz Mann made threats against the label, which is fucking hilarious, but I digress

The only part of this that actually matters is that Ian Bearer is finally free of this shit show, which is great cuz he’s a TREMENDOUS vocalist, and it sucks that he stayed for so long after Miles Baker and Aaron Stechauner got fucking shafted by this half speed hack. Ultu Ulla was literally the only good record RoS ever cut, and that was all thanks to Miles, Aaron, and Ian. Lucas Mann couldn’t even bother to show up to his own fucking tour. Then he had the audacity to shut Miles and Aaron out of their royalties.

So yeah, fuck Lucas Mann, fuck Rings of Saturn, and fuck Berried Alive too. Hope y’all apologists have fun paying $250 a ticket to watch a laptop for an hour when they start a new tour cycle

The original 'virgin vs chad' meme

I feel like everyone is sick of those stupid soyjack vs Chad "my opinion is good and based and correct, your opinion bad and wrong and stinky" memes by this point, as they're some of the lowest forms of current internet 'humor.' But precisely because those memes are so bad and also everywhere, I feel it's worth giving some credit to the fact that the original "The Virgin Walk / The Chad Stride" was actually a brilliant meme.

"The Virgin Walk" image showed up first, and it was standard 4chan stuff - which is to say, highly negative. Just a whole bunch of random small traits that people can have, bundled together in an accusatory way to try and make people insecure about them having "virgin" posture, by the kind of people who genuinely worries about being an "alpha male" (Or possibly pointing out their own flaws as a form of self-hatred, flip a coin when it comes to 4chan)

And then, on another thread, someone made the Chad Stride edit to go along with it.

It's a great piece of satire by how simple it is. Just by taking the traits listed in the original image, then inverting and exaggerating them, the result is an absurd caricature of a man who does not (and should not) exist. Through exaggeration, it demonstrates how the people who constantly worry about seeming 'Chad-like' are chasing after behaviour that is utterly unhinged and disconnected from reality.

I think this gif demonstrates it perfectly by putting it in motion:

Virgin is a normal, if insecure dude. Chad is an absolute fucking maniac. (Not to mention all the references to violence in the image)

So, while it did degrade into those awful soyjak memes we all know and hate because that is the nature of the internet, I feel like it's worth remembering that in the original image that spawned this entire trend, you're supposed to laugh at Chad. You shouldn't want to be Chad, because he's the menace to society [ credit to the gif's creator: https://x.com/art_miguelito/status/1107313740033212417 ; thanks to @softwaring for linking it ]
