open to: any!

plot: joanne and your character have an on and off again affair

"Your wife found out last time, are you really willing to risk that again?" Joanne asked between heated kisses, pulling away just enough to meet the other's eyes, a glint of playfulness resting there. "Ya never know, she might actually leave you this time."

[ruabadfishtoo]

I was watching The Nun 2 yesterday, and for some reason Taissa Farmiga (she’s also at AHS) reminds me of you. Like, she’s the richer and posher version of you, but you’re also the cooler and indier version of her.

❤️💕💗💖 this made my whole damn week I love her so much 🥹🥹🥹

Also you’re like the third person to tell me I look like her which is reaffirming and convinces me you’re not just tooting my horn

Wanted to say I hope your post does not break containment as I feel it may be one of those swinging at the hornet's nest / 'how dare you say we piss on the poor' as I think your point is very true! I also wanted to genuinely compliment you as this is one of the first times I've seen a post about exploring 'nicher art' where said person is actively pursuing less known media AND adjacent mediums (illustration, western comics, animation) while not degrading ones that are more popular. People gotta start engaging with more 6/10s and series with 10 readers on MAL lol (1/2)

Like you said on the post, series that hit the wide media appeal don't (or rarely) hit the sweet spot of your individual self because by nature they are more universal. I emphasize the '6/10' rating especially though because sometimes they're rated that low BECAUSE they're misunderstood or highly specific. Idk, something I've noticed from time to time. Thank you for your service OP hope this doesn't come off as weird or anything. (2/2)

Ayyye, you're welcome! That's a really sweet message :) I'm not too worried about it breaking containement given that I can just lock reblogs. I'm not online enough to be aware of nerds vagueing me because they're mad at my blog posts and I haven't done anything wrong except be a widdle pretentious which I am happily self aware of. (takes long drag of my black and white cigarette)

Truth is - I don't think there's "bad art" because its so subjective. Fighting people over taste is a losing battle in the first place because that's their problem not yours and it's not something you can change! What I /do/ notice a lot online in the fandoms I breeze past is that a lot of people seek weirder stuff but don't put the effort behind, and that's how you end up with people getting really damn invested about something like say, MP100, and praising its visuals by calling it experimental. North american pop culture especially is dominated by corporate giants in a way that might make it harder to find indie stuff, and north americans tend to not go look for stuff that's alien to them in the first place. It's why platforms like Tumblr rule - it's relatively easy to find new stuff when your dashboard is full of people posting about their own tastes. And that's why I submit myself to the mortifying ideal of yapping about the shit that has those 10 MAL readers and posting pictures of it!

There's no bad art and that includes popular commercial stuff. It'd be hypocritical of me to shit on that given one of my fav movies ever is a Mad Max and i've defended the Beatles' music as good online :p Popular stuff is popular for a reason

But damn if you are seeking some thrills through media I still am dead convinced finding some amateurish and/or weird ass and/or gruesome and/or experimental will give you the high no hollywood production can reach... And that if you only stick to the same sort of mass appeal media you'll be left with a lot of pent up invisible frustration made up of all the stuff they cut out for optimised dollars

Also, there's always gonna be indier than you. I might appear versed in obscure shit but in truth I am only one of thousands of a specific type of nerd who somehow wandered onto this platform instead of infighting about Meaning on ageing french book forums. It doesn't matter very much and I am happy to be surrounded by all types of nerds and share each other's beloved little things :) ~

the 4 reason to dislike media

it's too popular and 12yr olds love it

it's too popular and not like my better even indier game that i love ('my better game' is actually mediocre)

it's too popular and someone who i dislike now dmed me about it way way way too much like excessively so i just associated them with it and now just seeing it makes me upset and annoyed

i was a 12yr in fandom once... i remember my sins...

My second Nocturnal After-Hours Pride Weekend is now up online -my first DJ mix posted to SoundCloud after nearly NINE years. Yes, I’m dusting off the old account, but after it sat untouched for so long, it won’t show up on many feeds. If you want your next hour to pass more quickly, load this up, turn it up, and throw me a heart or a comment there while you’re at it!

"But what selfhood was to be determined in the Indies? What were its common ties, and where did its boundaries lie?

Leaders voiced very different ‘nations of intent’. The rallying cry of Ernest Douwes Dekker before the war, of the Indies for the Indier, suddenly lost force. The word ‘Indies’ too closely evoked both British India and the Dutch state, as did its variant, Insulinde . Some preferred the term Nusantara, literally the ‘islands within’ or ‘between’. It broke with the linguistic inheritance of Dutch; it was archipelagic in compass. But its origins lay in a chronicle of the world-conqueror from fourteenth-century Majapahit, Gajah Mada, and this made it too Java-centric for nationalists from the outer islands. The term ‘Indonesia’ had been used by early British ethnographers and then by some Dutch scholars at Leiden University to designate a wider cultural region of island Southeast Asia. Suddenly it began to acquire imaginative force. In late 1917 the exile Soewardi and others established an ‘Indonesian Association of Students’ at Leiden. Some of its members were Dutch, such as the Semarang-born H. J. van Mook, who had attended the same Surabaya high school as Sukarno, where his father taught. Men like van Mook expected to participate in and to lead an ‘Indonesia’, but they did not yet see it as a nation. Others saw ‘Indonesia’ as a common destiny of the island peoples, in the struggle for which Europeans, Eurasians, Chinese and Arabs might be allies but not full members. But there was also a claim for a more equal belonging, where, in Soewardi’s phrase, ‘whoever is a citizen of the Indonesian state is also an Indonesian’. The question of the new nation’s ethnic and cultural foundations remained unresolved and untested in the Indies itself."

More indier good stuff.

[ailichi]

it’s not that I hate Kele, I just don’t like his whole vibe. or anything he says or is ever likely to say. like the way he says he enjoyed Britpop but hated Oasis. what does that even mean? KCL alumni. I found out just now that he’s writing a memoir which is a bit embarrassing considering he’s like just turned 40. I just find these indier-than-thou people embarrassing. he’s probably too elitist to even be a Blur fan. I’m sure he’s broadly fine as long as you don’t bring up art he considers beneath him in his presence ... but eugh

I think a big part of the reason I never liked hoizer is that his vocal style always consciously really reminded me of Active Child who i use to like a lot but hoizer's instrumentation wasn't as lush or interesting and I had always for some reason considered the vocals to be like, a weaker part of active child compared to the music? That's not really an opinion I hold anymore, I've since opened my mind, but the first time I listened to active child I was probably still in my indie=bad phase and nowadays I think a good way to describe active child's vocals is "indier gay hoizer". So weird that this 12yr old music autism opinion hangs around my brain in the form of my bias against hoizer. Anyway whats good what are we smoking tonight girls

Da oben das Conti-Loch, da war der Vorläufer der Stadtwerke. Auf den alten Stadtplänen steht zu lesen: Elektrizitätswerk der Bahn AG. Alles was in der Stadt existiert, ist von den römischen Legionen Armee Militär, dann in Bewegliche Geräte wie Kutschen Reittiere Bahn mit den Unterkategorien der Welt-Bahn-Ag die Autokonzerne gehören zum Bahn-Imperium, usw. angelegt worden zu Kriegszwecken. Das ganze Gelände sind Bahn-refugien. Auch der Goldene Anker war Bahn-Refugium. Oben das Westbahn in Sonnenstr. 1 Ecke Dresdner und das vorangelegte Goldene Sonne der Kontroll- und Abzock-und Wegezoll und Auspress -die Krämer und Händler und jeden nach Woher und Wohin des Weg's ausfragen. Nebst Kaiser-Königswald-Areale. Wald ist integriert mit Wall. Wall von Bäumen. Das wird nirgendwo veröffentlicht. Alles militärische wird Geheimgehalten. Das Militär besitzt alle historischen Pläne und Skizzen Beschreibungen und Umgangsweisen mit den Völkern Ureinwohnern und der Bevölkerung. das sind Riesenskandale und wenn das bekannt würde. Die Leute müssen Ahnenforschung betreiben und bezahlen Geld für falsche und ins Nirwana leitende Auskünfte aus sogenannte Experten-Teams. Die Bürgermeister und Einflu��reichen Leute und Reagierung in Chemnitz kann mangetrost ignorieren. Das sind Hüpfer für die Konzerne Staat'schef's Kirchen. tsenrE -- Die dortige Wasserwirtschaft Behörde ist ein Witz. Genau dort kommt kein Wasser mehr von den Sonnenbergbächen, die mal waren in alle Richtungen und das Grundwasser wurde Trockengelegt in den Werken und Bahnhof Chemnitz. Überall wo Schwellen und Schienen gebaut werden und Bahnhöfe werden die Gebiete ausgetrocknet. Die ist der größte und schlimmste Umweltvernichter! In Chemnitz seit dem Jahre Anno 0. Mit dem Überfall der Italienisch Portugiesischen Spanischen Egypt Bünde auf Nordeuropa. Und vorher schon. Die sogenannt angebliche Völkerwanderung vor 40.000 Jahren ist Volksverdummung und Ablenkungsmanöver: (Die Indier heute sind ausgewanderte aus dem Suez, die orientalische Kirche hat die Länder besetzt. Alle Leute hier in Chemnitz Nordeuropa sind aus Aussiedlern gezeugt, die über die Schweiz mit 40 Kindern je Familie und 20 Kinder weiter Nordwärts und Ostwärts zum besetzen und Ausrotten und blockieren die Gesundheit-Natur und täglich neu zerstören mit Giften und ständig neuen Kriegsansinnen. Auch die Wikinger waren aus dem Ital-Portg-Spani-Egypt-Bund zum plündern ausrotten und besetzen und die Ureinwohner umbringen, und alles zu Kolonien, zu Städten und Dörfern herrichten: nach Norden geschickt worden. Stadt bedeutet "MARKT" Markt bedeutet Verkauf Handel und Einnahmen aus Abgaben Steuern Zöllen Verboten Bußgeldern Wegnahmen Enteignungen, täglich werden Leute in der BRD enteignet usw.. 70 Prozent der Arbeuth und Lebenskraft der Bevölkerung werden vereinnahmt und die Chef's Leben ins Saus und Braus.

Kuala Lumpur in Maleisie was een van de prettigste steden die ik ooit bezocht. Mijn zoon van 4 kon gevaarloos door het centrum banjeren, omdat het verkeersvrij was. Ter sprake kwam de aankoop van een appartement, voor na de pensionering, maar dat zal er wel niet meer van komen.

Een paar jaar geleden was mijn zoon nog eens in Kuala Lumpur. Even later, corona brak uit, kon hij op de Filipijnen tenauwernood een vliegtuig naar Munchen boeken. Bali moest hij laten schieten.

De hoogst diverse bevolkingssamenstelling van Kuala Lumpur is opvallend, met Indonesiers en Indiers uit diverse windstreken, naast veel Chinezen. De horeca is navenant.

Later belandden we aan de kust in een huisje. Het restaurant aan zee werd gerund door een rijzige Chinese van rond de 70 met gitzwart haar in een knotje. Ze diende onze verkouden zoon van 5 plaatselijke neusdruppels toe.

Haar kleindochter van bijna 6, schat ik, liep de hele avond hand in hand met Elmer door het restaurant, als hij tenminste niet aan tafel zat. Het meisje en Elmer verdwenen op zeker moment langdurig in de keuken. Er klonk gelach van koks.

a lot of these people's are basically complaining about them being indier than they were 20 years ago and i dont think thats fair (especially cause they dont seem to realize its like that)

mana is fucking loaded. of course the stuff produced by mana will be of overall greater quality because more money went into it.

they are NOT lazier because its now all produced by Kaya 🤷🏻‍♀️ Kaya is not as loaded as mana 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ (usually if you have less money you have to work harder, just saying)

plus

schwarz stein now is more like a pet project than anything else, nowadays, so eh...

if you dont like their indie indie stuff, go lick manas platforms, idk

oh yeah now i remember why i was mostly just lurking on scape ugh
