the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility #but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion #that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone #i am an environmental educator #so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering #that people are going through #without doing my research and providing real ways to help #this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning #to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering #unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this #and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this #and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity #(complaining)#and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself #for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion #i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out #rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually.#my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free #is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY.#anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i #which is more than their CEOs can say

Little bright colored outfit with a fun vest ~

(shoes from ebay like 10 years ago. everything else is thrifted)

#ootd #jfashion #fashion #fantasy fashion #mori kei #....like... adjacent... lol #no idea what style this would be lol.. makes me think of like whimsical vaguely fantasy themed childrens book character #finally posting one of my aforementioned seven million drafts of actual outfits and costumes i have finished and edited #the photos for but just never feel like posting lol..#I need to find one of those people whos like 'omg i am ADDICTED to social media ugh i wish i could get off of it #im just browsing and posting like 60 times a daaaaay!!!' and take a little magical bottle and suck some of the social media #enthusiasim out of them. for moi. In exchange they can have some of my 'literally just never in the mood to post or interact with the #outside world ever' energy. We can balance each other. huzzah and so on #Though I think maybe it's part of the general thing I've heard of like.. I can't remember if it was in reference to adhd or just some sort #of general execcutive functioning issue type of thing - but the idea that things have to be ''just right'' before you do something. like #'oh i need to do this task. but i have to wait until XYZ first' or 'oh i can do this but only if X specific condition is met' or etc #The fact that I even have to be in a Specific Mindset to post. or sometimes will delay posting on social media because like 'oh well #I'm going somewhere tomorrow. somehow this matters. i cannot spend 5 minuts posting TONIGHT. clearly it will interfere #somehow schedule wise with the doctor appointment i have 15 hours from now. yes. yes. i must wait until my appointment is over #tomorrow afternoon. THEN i shall post' or etc. etc. lol. NOT even taking into account the many days #I just genuinely and physically sick and it's not even a mental thing. I just physically dont feel like sitting at the computer lol..#ANYWAY.. trying to get back into it. trying to get a business bank account.. make a proper paypal so i can start selling sculptures again.#selling clothes and sculptures.. posting about such things then of course as one must. etc... chanting to hype up and motivate myself lol #But yes. this is my favorite outfit out of the bunch so I am posting it first I guess.. maybe others later..#Also the purple dress says its from shein. which I've heard is bad fast fashion stuff. but maybe okay since its second hand? I havent #been to the bins since like 2020 or late 2019 even. and I think stuff like shein and temu has only become poular in the past few years #but I bet if I went to the bins now I might would find a good handfull of that stuff. Probably now not much different than what you #find in a walmart or a forever 21 or actual physical stores you can go to though. I hear quality of clothing is down everywhere no matter #where you get it or whatnot. What bountiful joys unfettered capitalism and exploitation bestows upon us (<being sarcastic).#Wearing one of my favorite little vests though. I love the texture of it and the clasps on it

— Bran thought about it. ❝ Can a man still be brave if he's afraid? ❞

❝ That is the only time a man can be brave, ❞ his father told him.

Ned Stark, Lord of Winterfell

#first piece of my asoiaf series #FINALLY FINISHED THIS AFTER A MONTH #it looks off because i had to change the colors for mobile #OH ALSO #outfit is mostly kazakh inspired especially the embroidery #this lead me down a rabbit hole of embroidery inspired by animals #found the name of a wolf one but couldn’t find pictures sadly #so i went with a more snowflake looking one since that still matches the starks #the headdress is supposed to be yakut inspired but the men don’t really wear them #and the beads are more similar in tibet headdresses #so not the most accurate and i’m so sorry for that #i just had a hard time finding references #speaking of references the hands are barely drawn because i couldn’t find a good reference since its my first time really coloring in hands #hairs not my favorite either but it works?? ig??#also border has rose vines to symbolize lyanna since she’s such a major part of ned’s story #weirwood leaves for the weirdwood tree he used to hang out at #also didn’t realize until i finished that i used the show’s sigil for house stark instead of the book one?#whoops!#idk how i feel about this piece #definitely my most detailed one tho #ok enough rambling #a song of ice and fire #game of thrones #ned stark #house stark #valyrianscrolls #asoiaf

reminder that if you're not watching Crayon Shin-chan then you are living a hollow and empty life. this is not edited. this ripped straight from the movie (Movie 8: Jungle That Invites the Storm, highly recommend for fellow Masaaki Yuasa lovers)

if you need further convincing: these monkeys run an animation sweatshop

#i've made this disclaimer on another post but will again since i've seen a lot more of the movies now #the movies are VERY good and very enjoyable but unfortunately the first handful are bogged down by transphobic/homophobic/okama stereotypes #they kind of vary in their severity. Movie 5 i think is the biggest catalyst because it features the stereotyped characters the most #prominently. Movie 3 doesnt really have caricatures per se but saves a very backhanded reveal for the end #Movies 1 and 4 are a bit more tolerable if my memory is correct. Movie 2 i think is kind of comparable to Movie 5 with its caricatures #in that the characters have similar roles in both movies #i admittedly can't remember what caricatures there were in Movie 6 or 7. 7 i think barely had anything #RAMBLE RAMBLE BASICALLY: these jokes are within the first 7 movies or so 5 being the zenith then reducing down and down. by movie 8 it's sa #e #i give these disclaimers because these movies are all very enjoyable and i would not recommend them if i didnt think there wasnt any merit #o them. they are all very much worth watching. Movie 5 still has a lot of very enjoyable stuff in it (there's a showdown in a supermarket!!#but i just want to make sure that is clear and established since transparency is good to have and i dont want anyone's viewing experience t #be ruined because they weren't given the proper warning #if it's any consolation it's my understanding that even the directors hated doing the jokes #iirc Keiichi Hara really didn't like doing the jokes and i think had a talk with the mangaka Yoshito Usui and was like 'uh dude this is #gonna age horribly can we maybe not'#ironically Hara's first film is Movie 5. which is again the biggest offender #BUT! that is my spiel. my understanding is that it's contained to those 6 or 7 first movies and i think is strictly just a movie thing #so please do give these films a watch but just be mindful at the same time #if anyone needs recommendations my favorites have been movies 4 and 9 but i genuinely really enjoyed every one that i have seen #i've seen the first 11 and a half movies (need to finish 12) and movie 22. the worst i've felt about one is 'oh that was pretty good!'#each film has its own merit and is very very very much worth watching #22 was the first Shin-chan anything i watched and all my Shin-chan expert friends say 4 is a good introductory piece #in case that influences anything/makes it easier to break in #so. thus concludes my spiel #csc #vid

watched i saw the tv glow

#this movie is incredible and is altering my brain chemistry as we speak #it is beautiful and soul crushing and inspiring and agonizing #its too relatable #spoilers incoming #i cannot stop thinking about the scene at the end where owen/isabelle is at work #screaming IM DYING HELP ME and everyone shuts down #just to apologize later and get ignored #and the chalk drawing with THERE IS STILL TIME written on it gave me chills #there is still time isabelle i promise there is still time #as i got to the final scene i thought please dont end here #and it ended there #this movie is a tragedy #and i dont remember the last time a film stuck with me like this #i wish i couldve punched through the screen and grabbed isabelles hand and guided her back to the pink opaque #its just such a good trans allegory and i wish i could have seen her thrive #i saw the tv glow #is probably one of my favorite movies now

watched the 2004 punisher movie yesterday with pixie and honestly i had fun 👍 some stuff was good some stuff was eh some completely irrelevant stuff made me mildly annoyed. but most of all it was funny and they had frank hang around with his tits out for multiple scenes so i mean how could i not have a great time tbh

#marvel #frank castle #the punisher #its also the movie that has the frame that i found like. on a wiki or something? and that pushed me down the punisher rabbithole #maybe im insane but i REALLY liked how frank looked in that movie. lost. confused. profoundly sad. bare chest glistening with sweat #whats not to like honestly. i also felt incredibly bad for thinking this the entire movie because im actually going. a little insane #like lately i just feel generally bad for liking frank in that way at all. as in both romantic and sexual. just. im sorry frank really #so the entire movie id hide my face in my hands every couple of minutes going 'oh god hes so hot im so sorry hes so hot im sorry'#what the fuck is this kid doing #anyway the thing i also liked on a more serious note was that the death of maria and his son was dragged out #because it like. like it kept going. and going. and with every second we both just felt this sense of like. dread and helplessness yk #like you KNOW theyre going to die anyway. and yet you watch them struggle and. its such a specific emotion #my least favorite horror story from a book i had invoked the same emotion in me but worse #and it was called sth like 'the torture of hope' so like. thats the best description i can give #also the thing that annoyed me for no reason was joan being blonde. why is she BLONDEEEEE #SHE JUST LOOKS LIKE MARIA LIGHT THIS IS SO. STUPID #also poor third neighbour but i assume in this movie he had the same role as in the comic (none) because its the 2004 one #i liked daves vibe. seemed like the type of guy my friend karol would have us smoke weed with on her birthday #and also he was just like me fr

the sheer amount of headcanons i produced while i was drawing this is insane

#a few of them i might try drawing cause theyre scenarios instead of concepts #i would actually like try to list a few down in a separate post or scatter them around in other posts #but because of the clothing i put them in here #ill focus on that #yes in the tags #nagito's body temp is very naturally cold and also gets cold very easily #he needs to have like two layers on him at all times or else he'll actually freeze #maybe even 3 layers if its Just That Cold #hajime on the other hand is the complete opposite and is both naturally warm and heats up easily #i feel like he sorta doesn't really like wearing long sleeves that much cause it feels kinda stuffy?#that or he just cant find a decent article of clothing that is both comfortable and to his tastes #chiaki is relatively normal in body temperature but she also overheats easily much like hajime #except because i hc her with autism (as an autistic myself) i feel like chiaki wears long sleeved clothing regardless of weather #because she enjoys the weight of her hoodie even if its hot as fuck out and will probably stop functioning right if she doesn't have one #anyway thats my take on my favorite trial trio #komahinanami my absolute loves #question to you guys who's read the tags: how do you interpret this?#sdr2 #danganronpa 2 #danganronpa 2: goodbye despair #danganronpa nagito #danganronpa hajime #danganronpa chiaki #nagito komaeda #hajime hinata #chiaki nanami #komahinanami #aiden.png

i had a dream the limbus crew had to go get info on a new distortion that popped up in a romani village in some corner of the backstreets and they had to go stealth, couldnt just fight their way to the distortion for some reason; they had to fit in. and since gregor is the last sinner, n13, he got last pick for outfits and he had to go in this. his mantits were out.

#the rest of the sinners i literally dont remember what they wore.#also i hope the romani outfit is good since. dream stuff??#i didnt design this consciously..alas #im not tagging this with fandom tags i dont want this to get clout but my tumblr account is just. an archive for me :]#i do really really love the skirts they have tho i got one with coins on it a few years back. bellydancing skirt? idk but its my favorite #got it as a hand me down from a lady whose culture the skirt comes from<3

i've really dithered around the puppet rabbit hole for my entire life, sometimes sitting by it and dangling my legs over the felted abyss, but by worm am i jumping headfirst into it now with perfect diving form

#& by perfect diving form i mean Flailing and Screaming #ive always loved puppets but i've always denied myself this simple love #or had this love denied due to no one around me neither friend nor family nor foe exposing me to its beauty #so i had to gaze upon the puppets from afar #dhmis baited me closer to the edge... then the professor #and then welcome home shoved me in when i wasnt looking #now im watching muppet compilations. i want to watch the movies. I Want Puppets.#theres just something about them!!#theyre friend shaped in the most bizarre way!#whats really strange is i dont like dolls. sentient or otherwise. they freak me the fuck out #but puppets? which from an objective viewpoint are scarier or at least are way more in the uncanny valley territory?#i cant be scared. or unsettled. they're Friends and thats It. end of story. they could be out to kill me and id still be 🥺#absolutely unprompted #i like it when they get violent tho. its funny #my favorite dhmis moment is the friendship fight #and watching these muppet compilations... when they throw down... hell yeah fuck each other up!!!!#my desire for viewing blood and violence meshes wonderfully with puppets. theyre so <3<3<3<3 #gripping dragons in one hand and puppets in the other #hey speaking of both maybe. maybe i should share my one (1) welcome home oc. maybe.#actually fuck it yeah! i will share! cringe is dead babey!!! viva la zestforlife!
