One of the WORST parts of having OCD is that some of the Fears™ are actually humanly possible, so it's not like my response can just be, "Oh that'll never happen" or even "I've never seen that happen, so it's probably unlikely."

oh boy... i'm never gonna be able to trust anybody because if i start wanting things from someone and putting faith in them i will literally kill myself if they leave... the only thing i can do is try to make myself as independent as possible and never rely on anything so i never feel like i will crumble into dust if someone i love and rely on disappears from my life

rant post because I hate british tourists as much as the rest of the world 🫶

okay gonna be so fucking honest I genuinely despise british tourists that go to other countries and just drink and make an entitled nuisance of themselves. first of all it's so disrespectful that they think it's okay to act so disruptive and down right disgustingly in public let alone a whole other country that has absolutely no reason to tolerate them, second of all they're national fucking embarrassments like seriously do you know what you look like? bumbling down city streets drunk with not so much as a lick of self awareness, you don't look like you're so cool for having a good time, you look like a prick with no self control, it's embarrassing to hear what the people I loath to call fellow brits get up to you make my country look more like a joke than it already is. know your place. third of all the entitlement is insane, you blow off to a whole other country and expect all the social norms to be the same? fuck off you twat, the world isn't yours and your complete disregard for the way other people live their lives makes you an absolute cunt, no excuses.

on top of that, this makes me genuinely despise british drinking culture, so much shit revolves around alcohol it's ridiculous. I know this country is shit, I know it's about coping but have you ever thought for a second that maybe, just maybe, we could make things better if our first reaction was to try and change the government instead of drinking? even outside of that it's so difficult to enjoy parties and social events because of drinking, you're either pressured to drink or you end up watching people get so drunk they completely fly off the handle. it's funny to make a joke about but it's an actual problem. every friday night is a fucking nightmare because it's always ends up with shattered glass in places literal children (and everyone else mind you) could go and hurt themselves on. the fact that people think it's acceptable to trash public spaces and act like absolute bellends in bars, pubs and wherever else you might like to get drunk is absurd and horrendous, if you think it's okay or "in the name of good fun" I don't fucking like you, I genuinely wish you the worst.

I'm not a puritan, drinking is a personal choice, I just urge you to fucking think about how much you're drinking and have some consideration for where you are and how much you drink. don't be a cunt, it's easier than you think. you get overly excitable when you drink? either limit yourself or do it at home I'm so sick of being scared and embarrassed about drunk people.

     Trying to think if there’s anything that could genuinely get Roger upset or angry at any of his boys, and honestly yeah nope there’s     there’s really not   

[imwritesometimes]

absolutely will not be posting my 'year in review' or whatever cause I'm lowkey ashamed of how many times I've posted on this fucking site over the last calendar year (over 90% were reblogs but still lmao thanks for the reminder I really had NO life this year tumblr ✌️)

[cassmouse]

Surprising no one, I am still thinking relentlessly about that S1 final episode of Upright

I'm so confused about how they're going to bridge that into a second season considering how incredibly perfect that resolution felt (clearly there wasn't an INTENTION of a second season when this one was written) but hey, in Tim Minchin we trust I'm sure he'll find a way

I have literally all the faith in the world in that man lmao he's a genius

S1 was genuinely perfect and I cannot WAIT to see how S2 is

And that finale is STILL haunting me emotionally I am still really fucking emotional about it

[mbat]

still baffled by the take about heartstopper that basically boiled down to 'its so unrealistic that these teenage boys arent obsessed with sex and that this story basically never acknowledges that and its so soft and i hate soft representation'

like. the whole take absolutely showed that the person saying it had done no research into what they were even talking about/had never read through the comic before saying that, and had only seen the show (because the comic addresses that and imo the reason its like that is a good reason. not that theres a bad reason for characters to not want to have sex.)

also its wild to literally ever be like 'this story about teenagers needs to talk about sex MORE' like ??? actually its quite nice that, for once, theres a story about teenagers that doesnt obsess over sex thank you?? like i get wanting queer rep to be more of everything since the queer experience is everything but like, theres other places for that. there really is, even if they arent mainstream. let this one be what it is??

also its just. if you want a story to be more what you want it to be like, just write it yourself, and stop being weird about someone elses story thats actually quite good and is clearly telling the story it wants to tell

like it was all framed as if it was a criticism but it wasnt, it was just weird. saying 'this fictional story is so unrealistic!' is barely a criticism imo, at least when it comes to things like that. also, again, it was completely ignorant of the source material as well

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 ]
