many of my friends are streamers now and i am doing a dogshit job of supporting them in their endeavors but then when i do feel up to it, i will open twitch and attempt to participate in chat. and it does not ever appear for some insane reason. so its actually twitch rejecting me i think.

[finncent]

Y'all are not gonna believe it but catch your mf back at it again-- this time with cover art for the song Naught on the Vast Error album Faux Dramatica by Rom M!! I can't even explain how fucking dope it is... you literally just gotta go listen. Its out on Bandcamp!!

[femme-objet]

also wrt that faux-xenophobia between major european/american countries: sometimes it definitely feels like (especially white) people have like racist jokes and bits they wish they were telling but they’re weirdly glad to have an opportunity to do so against an acceptable target? it reminds me of when i was a teenage edgelord lurking on /b/ and encyclopedia dramatica i would absolutely love jokes against white people because it validated my “i’m actually making fun of every race equally” self-justification? it might be a reach and it might not be the end of the world either way but it always rubs me off the wrong way

[kaywavy]

hey anon who sent that ask about faux dramatica, is the stream / album itself spoiler free regarding vast error?

cuz i’m actually planning on reading it in the near near future

24 or 25?

24. Favorite song - Sunrise, off of One Year Older. i think it's like, sublime. its the easiest song to just like, soak in. and the solo albums just don't get enough credit.

25. Favorite album - The Wanderers. such a shame it's literally never coming back. because it's so, so good. honorable mention to faux dramatica, which is not a homestuck album. but fucks so severely.

Friendly reminder that I once made a cover of Naught!!!

Go check it out please! I am very proud of this cover :)

small list of my thoughts about arcjec and his smoking habit

with laivan, the cigarettes actively reflect he and arcjec's relationship-- the cigarette smoke actively keep laivan and his lung condition at a distance, like how arcjec's general everything actively keeps laivan as a whole away (through physical means like self isolation and emotional means shown through their chats)

the "nothing" in "nothing is bliss" could refer to the naught father, like the lyrics of naught from faux dramatica, death in general, self-isolation/the nothingness that comes with him distancing from his friends, or him not finding happiness/'bliss' in anything due to his depression

adds to the arcjec & ellsee parallels (natural vices vs artificial vices)

how did he get cigarettes in the game snake village. nicotine is deadly to snakes?? did they carry some specifically for him showing up??? i guess thats plausible but like idk i think its funny

basically the cigarettes are just an externalization of his depression. it can also be an externalization of whatever happened to his brain (assuming the cause was naught-father related, adds more meaning to 'nothing is bliss'

my little pony – fame and misfortune

alternatively titled: Hero worship bad. Celebrity worship bad. Idol worship bad. Stranger on the internet worship bad. Soda good.

(god this is such a good episode, i’ve watched it like 4 times already.)

i normally don’t do this sort of thing, but the most recent episode really really struck the right chord in me, so i’m gonna talk about it under the cut.

it’s no secret i love my little pony! i’ve kept up with it since near the middle of season 1 and i’ve stayed a faithful fan sense. pinkie pie is obviously my favorite pony, no contest.

but this episode, my god, this episode had such an important message in it that people who are fans of irl people need to understand.

the plot of this episode starts off when twilight publishes their friendship journal for everyone to read, in hopes of said content being able to resonate with people and help them build better friendships and understand the different ways people can be friends.

but it backfires, the book gets super popular, and as a result, so do the mane 6. people openly talk about the ponies like they’re just characters from a series, and not real people with real feelings.

ponies speak negatively of rarity in public where she can hear. 

ponies idolize rainbow dash and never leave her side, making her unable to do her work because of them just wanting to listen to her tell stories all day. 

ponies gang up on fluttershy because it took her a bit longer to learn a certain lesson that people think she should have understood right away. 

ponies take advantage of applejack’s hospitality and call themselves “part of the apple family” and continuously make unfair demands of her that she feels that she has no choice but to uphold. 

ponies never take anything pinkie pie says seriously because only the silly parts of her are shown in the book, instead of understanding she’s a real pony who can have complex and genuine emotions aside from just “happy and laughter”.

(this is such a mood.)

and as someone who has had to deal with stuff like this in the past, and whose boyfriend currently deals with a fanbase, this episode obviously struck me somewhere.

because i used to run a popular blog with a couple thousand followers with some friends of mine when we were 14, and obviously as friends we would playfully interact with each other and our followers. and i was the one who was singled out the most, because i was the most interactive.

people shipped me with my friends. especially one of them. and when you’re 13/14/15, you don’t really think too much about it? so we played along, because it was what people wanted to see. whenever i’d get flirty asks (which happened a lot for some fucking reason) she’d react in a faux possessive manner, and we always got comments about how “cute we were together”. we got couple fanart despite not actually dating, and we ended up doing this whole fake-relationship for the blog where we’d refer to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend– even though we weren’t dating. and it was so confusing. i still don’t know how to label this relationship when i talk about ex-girlfriends/boyfriends, i just say that it was debatable.

eventually she did get an actual boyfriend, but people freaked out and sent me private messages saying that she was cheating on me, and she became absolutely condemned on the blog and eventually just stopped posting on it all-together. 

adult women flirted with me. when i was 14. they sent me flirty asks and became absolutely delighted when we did a contest for the blog and i jokingly said the prize was a date with me. let me say that again; women in their early 20s flirted with me and got excited when i joked about dating them, at 14. i didn’t know how fucking creepy this was until i became an adult.

then there were people who didn’t like me or the blog. people scoured through my old accounts just to find any fodder to excuse why i was a scumbag and why our blog sucked. people went through my old social media and used things i said when i was 11 against me. 

no one ever called me kevin on that blog, despite my name being everywhere else. i was only mod man. we had an encyclopedia dramatica page.

eventually we shut the blog down because it stopped being fun, and people continuously asked us to make a new one until it died down and was lost in the void.

i really related to applejack in this episode. because after that whole extravaganza, i never wanted to be in the lime-light again. i made it into a little game where i’d move accounts after i got to a certain follower level because it was terrifying how quickly people will dehumanize you the second you surpass a certain limit decided by them.

i’m quickly approaching that level again not even a year in this blog’s conception, but i don’t like running away. i want to hold onto the friends i’ve made, so i’ll stay. but please understand–

real people are not fictional characters. 

don’t ship real people with their friends. don’t call real people your “otp”. don’t dehumanize real people and speak about them as if they’re just characters on a screen who can’t read what you say about them and be hurt. don’t fucking write porn of real people and their friends. (THIS HAPPENED ONCE JESUS CHRIST)

this is such an important episode. i really can’t say that enough.

i don’t really know how to conclude this. please watch it if you can. please remember the youtubers and blog-owners or artists you idolize are real people with flaws. please don’t hold people up to such high standards for just a small faction of their personality that they allow the public-eye to see.

people are so much more than what just goes on on social media. please remember that. 

Hero worship bad. Celebrity worship bad. Idol worship bad. Stranger on the internet worship bad. Soda good.
