Sorry guys, rant incoming. I considered deleting this but I put too much effort in.

"girlboss" "girl dinner" "girl math" "boy math" "gen z are making fun of us for wearing x" "here's how to dress like gen z:" "girlies" "girl's night" "boy's night" "me and the boys" "90s kid"

"I don't feel like an adult" "I'm 34 and I can tell you, I still don't feel like an adult either." "My parents seemed like real adults when they were my age." "I still feel like a teenager."

Maybe you'd feel more like an adult if you started calling yourself one. Maybe you'd feel more like an adult if you stopped trying to dress like a teenager. Maybe you should move your bed out from the wall and get a wallet. Maybe find a calendar app that works for you.

You are an adult. Even if you live with your parents. Even if you do part-time shift work at minimum wage. Even if you haven't graduated college. Even if you are single. These are adult things to do. Because you are doing them. And you are an adult. Start treating yourself like an adult. Fake it 'till you make it if you have to.

In other, writing-related, news:

That trend on TikTok of 20-40 something women authors (and writers yet to be published) promoting their books like,

"Omg! I can't believe I've sold X number of copies!! I never thought I would!" "Ahhhh imagine publishing your book and all your dreams come true and now you get to meet famous authors and work with big names in the industry!!" "Would you read a book where [proceeds to list a bunch of oversaturated tropes that tell me nothing about the actual plot]?"

It reeks of infantilization. If you didn't believe anyone would want to read your book, why should I? You made it on the NYT bestseller list! Stop acting like a mega-fan who got to meet a celebrity. You are their peer! "Would you read a book--" What if I wouldn't? Why does it matter to you what I think of your book? And for the love of god stop hiding behind tropes you know are already popular. "Here is my book: This is what it is about." Have some goddamn confidence.

It is fine to mention in passing "this idea was really far-fetched so I didn't know if it would appeal" or "I was struggling with self-esteem when I wrote this". It's fine to fan a little bit. It's fine to discuss the tropes in your book. But why are you building your brand as an author off of your inferiority complex? You are using your poor self-esteem as a marketing tactic to seem "humble" and "relatable" but it's coming across as unprofessional and desperate for reassurance. You are an adult. You are competent. The more you act like it the more you will believe it.

And of course, I haven't seen a man promote his book this way...

On another note, do any of the 20-40 something women writers who do "write with me" videos on TikTok actually enjoy writing or are they just doing it for the aesthetic?

They all have gorgeous minimalism writing spaces full of white and pink and a macbook beneath a window. Their makeup is done and they are conventionally pretty to start with. But their entire video is just them talking about how little progress they made, how many pages they deleted, how often they got distracted, how frustrated they are. And like, yeah. We all have those days. But what about the good lines you can't wait to share? The days when the words just flow? The cool stuff you learned while researching? Why don't you ever make videos about that?

Is this some other attempt to seem "relatable" by only talking about the "bad" side of writing? Because again, it's coming across as lacking confidence at best and, at worst, that you don't actually know how to write. And that is not the brand you want as an author.

Again, its always women. Why must women market their self-esteem issues in order to sell their art? Why must we be perpetually awestruck children (girlies, book girls) in over our heads?

#also why do I get the sense these women are selling a lifestyle more than they are actually promoting their own books?#I feel like someone more qualified than me could link this to modelling good christian gender roles #and cultural conformity or something #it isn't lost on me how much of this is about trying to seem humble #and how much validation is tied to protestant success and hard work ideas #is this where the indoctrination starts?#give us 'role models' as influencers #also Alex Aster of Lightlark fame is the WORST for this #her content makes me physically sick to watch #and again interesting that it is pretty widely agreed on at this point that she is an industry plant #interesting that the industry plant is leaning so heavy on the humility and infantilization of women tactics #as though appealing to protestant christians is a major concern of the industry #what's that about? is it just sales? or is it related to those evangelical groups trying get books banned?#how much influence does conservative christian america have within the trad pub industry?#maybe I am really reaching here idk #I don't have any sources #it's just speculation I am open to be proven wrong

damn. this is genuinely the only space on the internet where I feel completely at peace.

#this sounds like such a FIRST WORLD PROBLEM but i've genuinely been having so many issues being online post-green day #my world kind of exploded and idk how to handle it #like my face is EVERYWHERE it's actually extremely overwhelming but i know this 5 minutes of fame is stupid and vain and won't last forever #plus i feel like i took too long of a break on my fandom blog and now idk what to do with myself there #i was never really good at fandom and it lowkey feels like tumblr fandom has migrated to discord #which is :/ because i don't have the spoons for that it's so fast paced and triggers my anxiety way too much #and i don’t have the brain power or motivation for any of my wips so it’s just. UGHHHHHHH #i’m barely free anymore since work has a chokehold on my life and when i am free i get too anxious to be online so i’ve just been a wreck :(#so IDK i guess this is all to say: thank you to the folks who stuck around on this account for my louis <3 #i don't expect to be around much this month what with all the Spooky Season festivities but this acct is the best place to find me for now #*【 ❛I'm not the spirit of any age. ❜ 】 ➤ OOC

BROOOOO MY FRIEND HOOKED ME UP WITH A TERTIARY JOB?!

#Crazy that I just got a fortune cookie that says “everything is open to you”#I do kind of believe in fortune cookies to an extent #It pays more per week than my school job too… but I’m keeping the school job obviously because that’s my passion (one of them)#I might open a savings account for creative pursuits and use that to finish 1984 #Or I might save for top surgery or a house #idk we’ll see #YAY YAY YAY #The girls are BUILDING #I must admit part of my flat mood and hopelessness was caused by my constantly worrying about money #Not that I’m financially destitute; I just have to be extremely careful what I do with it and I obsess and make projections over it #To make sure I’m not losing money with every paycheck. And even though I’m doing a good job… it’s just a lot #Maybe with the path I’m currently on I can get famous and filthy rich and then give 90% of my income to the community #(I’d hate being famous though but fame is power and I’ve always wanted to help people and having that power will help me do that)#But (when people don’t talk over me) they like what I have to say and how I say it because I’ve worked on my speech meticulously #so I know how to speak elegantly and with wit like I write now (when I’m well rested)

Spotify discourse below the cut because I genuinely don’t have a settled opinion and am just organizing thoughts

I feel like a lot of “just use bandcamp” takes on Spotify are kind of only seeing half the value in Spotify as a service. Like the main concern I see is the tiny payout to most artists. Royalty payments to artists are generally terrible all around and record labels are the embodiment of plague infected leeches, just to be abundantly clear. But idk if streaming should be the vehicle for paying artists in the first place. The Algortihm™️ is honestly why I (and most people I know) use Spotify. I love finding new music and building playlists and then if I really like a band/artist I end up getting vinyl and concert tickets and merch etc etc. but in my mind “listening to music” and “financially supporting the artist” are two different activities? And you can think that the “Spotify method” of listening to music is crass and antithetical to art or whatever but like it is a huge reason why a lot of people enjoy it. Telling them (consumers) to just jump over to a not-very-comparable service is maybe not the most compelling option?

Bandcamp is great once I’ve actually discovered artists but it does require a certain level of being A Fan. It feels like telling people to just stop using YouTube and switch to Patreon like….okay these aren’t the same though.

In my mind the “best” option atm (aside from a magical service that combines the algorithmic knowledge of my innermost soul of Spotify with the ability to click buttons and send money directly to artists of Bandcamp) is to just be intentional about supporting artists in ways outside of streaming. And like maybe kick a record exec very hard in the balls if you ever find yourself in a situation to do so.

#mine #text post #void screams #spotify #idk I just feel like cancelling Spotify isn’t going to make too much of a difference in the landscape of IP and licensing law #which are things tailor made to fuck over the actual creators of works so that owners of companies can profit #it is the Most Capitalism approach to creative works #like I can see tenuous threads of solutions but they all come back to less record labels #and reevaluating the idea of owning works which will ultimately hurt people like TS (famed Spotify hater)#people’s takes have just been very confusing to me but maybe I’m a lil dumb or missing something #cannot overstate how much of an option that is

Ngl when we were talking about aesthetics I did think about u and iron mouse lol

aww ... woa.,. ty ;w;

i think it would be so cool and fun to be a streamer / tuber... but i cant do anything alone... like i mean in terms of starting... like i dont know how to start and do anything and am scared of faillure

#like i have a habit of adhd brain where i try something and spend money on it and then drop it a couple months later #and being a streamer seems to be a lot in ... idk... i dont want to be out a bunch of money i dont have i guess #or ... idk ... how do people even start ... like ... ugh i should have started during the pandemic #then id be a big name or something now ...#guys im like totoko #i want praise and fame but not have to do any of the hard work #and thats why im a failureeeeeeeeee #bangs head into wall #im fine #dw im fone #spice.ask

POV me trying to act like a normal human in order to give my OCs traits that normal people have (it isn't working and I'm overdoing it)

#IF YOU LACK THE FEELINGS OR DESIRES THAT PEOPLE TYPICALLY HAVE THEN HOW DO YOU KNOW THE RIGHT AMOUNT TO HAVE #unregulated that boy is unregulated people are complex so like yeah someone wants like #attention of smth or to be seen as like a star y'know fame and all that like how do people with those brains work #is it like a genuine and enthusiastic IMMA BE A STAR !! MY NAME IN LIGHTS PEOPLE CHEERING MY NAME !! always and forever?#or is that the dramatics of media I don't know cuz I never met anyone irl like that #not as far as I'm aware #I mean a big thing abt me is everything has deniability so if I were to make media of some short like idk a gaming channel #I mean sure I'd want people to see it and to have a community so I would hype myself up y'know grandiose of sorts #but do I genuinely believe that? yes and no. like sure it CAN happen but if it WILL is debatable and probably unlikely #so yeah I like the idea of it ig in theory but I'm always expecting to fail not in a negative way tho lmao #more of being realistic and reasonable and if no one ever got into any of the stuff I made I wouldn't mind cuz like #I'm not doing it for the people I'm doing it for myself cuz I find it fun #idc abt the attention #usually when I get attention I reject it honestly lmao I'm not a big fan of it #anyway that's where I'm at so like do people genuinely enjoy attention? is that a thing?#what exactly are people feeling when they get attention like good? happy? seen? idk

this is one of the funniest posts on the entire site

Guy who transforms into a swarm of locusts when shaken vigorously: hey can you turn the music down it's resonating kind of hard and shaking the ground and I don't want to endanger anyone

DJ Loudmusic: SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THESE SICK JAMS! HERE'S MY NEXT SONG, "EPIC JUNGLE BEAT THAT GIVES LOCUSTS THE DESIRE TO KILL HUMAN BEINGS"

#funny #hall of fame #is that how the hall of fame tag works idk it's my first time

#I'm gonna talk into the void for a second #it's been so weird. like. idk how else to describe it #i drove home from work in a daze bc my best friend called to tell me the news #i ate then i locked myself up in my room and cried #now it's been a few days and that's become routine #i was so....idek yesterday that i cut of 5 inches of my hair #i miss him #and it's complicated bci know what he did to others but i also know what others did to him #he was just a kid when he was thrown into fame and with all the pressure and lack of adult guidance or help he didn't stand a chance #he was gobbled up by something bigger than himself and wrung out for money when he was still a kid wanting to please everyone #idk everything just feels weird #the sadness is really ugly and strange #having to compartmentalize has been tough #i had to let some of my students know that i was a huge fan of 1d so they'd shut up bc they were going on and on about him #they're good kids and immediately stopped talking about it but they were speaking so callously about a person's death #i avoid tumblr unless im home because you all get it #i feel so incredibly alone in this in real life #my best friend has been amazing and listened to everything i have to say but she doesn't get it. how could she? her idols are still alive #so i only come on here when i can completely feel everything #I've spent a couple of hours everyday on here crying with all of you because you all get it #this ugly weird thing. you all feel it too #it's been the way it was when the fandom was at it's most active. all of us discussing and feeling and being *together*#I'm so grateful to you all for always being here or for coming back and for understanding it #idk if i would have had a genuine place to go to for this outside of tumblr #and i think thats a testament to all we've been through and the kind of online spaces the boys cultivated #especially liam who always seemed to be so happy to interact with fans and fanart #im going to stop now or im going to keep rambling forever #rest in peace liam and thanks for everything #lp #❤

for someone that seems to loathe and hate and detest fame, chappell certainly goes out of her way to accumulate more of it.

#personal bloggity #all the interviews and photoshoots and bailing on the europe concerts for the VMAs #which...man i didn't see one ad for the VMAs or the Emmys so idk if they're even considered relevant anymore to normies lmao #and then she wants to talk about how parasocial relationships are bad #but then actively works against herself by treating her social media postings so casually #girl pretty sure you got money now #you can hire people to deal with the stalkers and handle your social media for you #most celebs do just that exactly because of its overwhelming nature #hope this isn't the beginning of her crashing and burning due to not preparing herself for fame properly #which you think after 10 years she'd have talked to literally anyone about how to deal with it #media training and PR teams are a thing for a reason

finished men have called her crazy by amt

#honestly it was underwhelming #it’s a very white feminist read #she directs all of her fame and energy to the one group that is above her on the totem pole #and like ignores opportunities to lift up like 900 marginalized communities under her lol #like sure ur doctor sucks and didn’t listen #but rather than focusing 100% of the effort on the fact that he was a man #why not talk about how the medical system fails mental health patients #and there’s not enough research done to be able to accurately diagnose patients in a psych ward #why not spend more time talking about the prohibitive expenses of IVF and reproductive health care #and what that means for queer ppl who can’t have a natural birth #like a lot of her experiences could have been spun to address wider issues #but she just talks about how she hates men the whole time #idk I really wanted to like the book and her #and a lot of the points she made are valid and I would still like to go for a drink with her #but idt she really did the work on herself she claimed she did… like she doesn’t sound like a 40 yo woman in this book

June 26-August 1, 2023

Hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now

How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?

Just what you wanted

Look at you, cool guy, you got it

I see the parties and the diamonds sometimes when I close my eyes

Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise

I loved you truly

You gotta laugh at the stupidity

'Cause I've made some real big mistakes

But you make the worst one look fine

I should've known it was strange

You only come out at night

I used to think I was smart

But you made me look so naive

The way you sold me for parts

As you sunk your teeth into me

Bloodsucker

Fame fucker

Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire

And every girl I ever talked to told me you were bad, bad news

You called them crazy, God, I hate the way I called 'em crazy too

You're so convincing

How do you lie without flinching?

Oh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing, fucked up little thrill

Can't figure out just how you do it and God knows I never will

Went for me and not her

'Cause girls your age know better

I've made some real big mistakes

But you make the worst one look fine

I should've known it was strange

You only come out at night

I used to think I was smart

But you made me look so naive

The way you sold me for parts

As you sunk your teeth into me

Bloodsucker

Fame fucker

Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire

You said it was true love

But wouldn't that be hard?

You can't love anyone 'cause that would mean you had a heart

I tried to help you out, now I know that I can't

'Cause how you think's the kind of thing I'll never understand

I've made some real big mistakes

But you make the worst one look fine

I should've known it was strange

You only come out at night

I used to think I was smart

But you made me look so naive

The way you sold me for parts

As you sunk your teeth into me

Bloodsucker

Fame fucker

Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire

#how do you lie without flinching?#today’s vibes #oh oh oh this song 😍#when I tell you I’m obsessed!#it’s just…. extremely relevant at the moment…#the 🧛🏻‍♂️ and fame fuckers are messing me up y’all!#too busy too stressed too drained #I had to go to dc for a bit and that was….. interesting…….#I met my mom there though and it made it so much better #work is fuckin horrendous #but I also got a huge bonus today so… there’s that #and…. well so so so many other things are happening….#and I’m extremely confused about what to do and how I should be feeling #I feel fuckin terrible one second and then happy relieved excited the next #I feel like that’s a good sign weirdly #idk I can’t explain it #anyway I’m going to go back to screaming this song at the top of my lungs okay? byeeeee

hello friends heres some more artist au ,,, i have A huge infodump under the cut ... u were warned

uhm mumbo is a tattoo artist in this au, hes the towns electrician primarily but he does tattoo work too. hes terrified of needles on his own skin but really enjoys the process of tattooing. i think he mostly does geometric stuff. probably hrm.

gem runs and owns the fishing dock/bait shop. shes born and raised in this town so shes been here her whole life. shes okay at painting but her real passion is with clay- specifically sculpting. shes taking a pottery workshop w grian but she like the freedom sculpting has that the wheel cant really give her...? if that makes sense.. she still likes it. when she paints she gravitates towards gouache and watercolors, she likes the fluidity she can achieve w em. also is very fond of how gouache lets u set it down then return and reactivate it w water again lol

pearl is a relatively successful artist, shes constantly traveling for art shows and also to host workshops/look for inspiration. she used to paint a lot, thats how she kinda got her fame... she used to paint this one girl a lot idk she has curly orange hair and freckles and shes always painted really beautifully. then stuff happened and now pearl mostly sculpts now. she still paints and her paintings are her most popular works but shes more into working w clay.

hm more abt this au, pearl and grian are siblings and both grew up learning oil painting. jimmy is also in this au im still figuring out a role but hes their cousin— basically brother— i was thinking pearls manager js coz i think itd b funny lol.

the setting is a small coastal town hrmm havent thought too much else abt it, was mostly pulling from coastal norcal ish...

in this au scar and grian are really really tight and have been living w each other for like 5/6 ish years. i dont think they officially get tgt... they think theyre woke asf n say they dont like labels (kinda kidding) the real reason is just timing. whenever grian is sick of running circles and works up the courage, scar usually has some complications hes working through and grian feels like hed just be another stressor added to his plate so he just wills it away... then when scar is like Im gonna do it. Im gonna tell him. Grian is experiencing sum kinda dilemma and is rly stressed so then scar is like well it can wait... (this goes on forEver.) whenever they do sync up, usually theyre far too scared about ruining their friendship and having to find a new roommate or something. they both r very important to each other and if bottling up their feelings means they can hold onto each other and keep each other around then thats what theyll do...! yeah theyre doomed🤦‍♂️.... they still basically do romantic activities tgt- they just think its normal coz its them.... also everyone around them thinks theyre secretly dating or smth anyways Yeah this is the au in a nutshell im such a sucker for long term pinning friends to lovers or whatever😭😭😭😭😭...

#artist au #mumbo jumbo #geminitay #pearlescentmoon #grian #goodtimeswithscar #mcyt #fanart #lizzysart
