Listen to me, okay?

You cannot keep calling music by black people, by black WOMEN, Rhythm & Blues. That song isn't R&B. That artist isn't even necessarily a Rhythm & Blues artist!!!!

Do you know what R&B is? I don't think you do. I think you hear a black person on the track and go "Mmm yes, yes. R&B"

I'm fuckin sick of this shit.

if star wars was pitched for the first time in today's entertainment industry it would be turned down. and so would any other thing that's currently a "big IP". where do idiot executives think the IPs come from to begin with???

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.

Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.

isn't it wild how you can play through an entire indie game in a single day and be left with a deeper, more profound experience, story, moral or question all wrapped in a more unique and impactful art style than many triple a games nowadays. for like 8 bucks.

reminder that it’s okay for people to have emotional reactions to shows. Yes, even the cringe ones. In fact, if you do cry over fictional characters, that means the storyteller accomplished what they set out to do. Which is to tell a story that entertains and touches people. “But they’re a grown adult crying over something I think is stupid!” Well guess what? You are also a grown adult, and as such you should know better then to bully someone for being “cringe”.

One of the best parts of being a creator, is the joy that your creation touches people. That they relate to the charecters that you made yourself. We make jokes about creators having mugs full of people’s tears from crying over an emotional plot point, but in all seriousness there is something beautiful knowing that this story you wanted to tell, that you worked so hard on, has affected millions of people in ways you hoped, but never thought would actually happen.

it’s okay to be emotional. Because even if it’s over something “stupid” at least it proves you HAVE emotions.

Realistically speaking, killing a healthcare CEO doesn’t fix the greater systemic problems with American healthcare, and Brian Thompson isn’t (/wasn’t lol) solely responsible for American healthcare or even just UHC’s particularly bad policies, because there’s a whole apparatus in place, and that’s often why people who consider themselves moral can do what UHC execs do, because they feel diminished responsibility; to some extent trying to kill ppl responsible would lead to like a whackamole, and I do think that would be immoral; I don’t think it’s possible to kill your way into a better healthcare system, and ultimately this isn’t going to fix American healthcare, certainly not in the long term, it’s just an act of violence which isn’t a sustainable method of change and can often make things worse long-term.

On the other hand: LMAO

Devastating that you had ten peaceful years to get into Jean and Jeremy but you only became interested in them when your headcanons got an expiration date... Like yeah Ill always keep smoker Jeremy in my heart no matter what Big Canon tries to sell me but it is a lowkey hilarious turn of events for you. Here you dropped this *hands you a cardboard L*

BAHAHA (takes the L) thank you............................... to be honest ive always liked jean and i never really cared for jeremy beyond his friendship with kevin and those opinions haven't changed so much as they have evolved. i still don't think much of jeremy beyond that he's funny and a good man, and i'm glad he's a good captain for jean, but there's not much investment here. perhaps the new book might make him more worthwhile to think upon, but truly there's very little about jeremy that makes him interesting or engaging to me beyond the amusement of his dynamics with jean and kevin. i daresay that as a protagonist for tsc he'll be the weaker end

BUT YEAH IT'S TRAGIC. it's all very tragic. i'm not looking forward to ten years of fanwork getting disproved or rendered useless, and to me, that's the most awkward part about the timing of tsc's release. i don't think there's anything anyone could do about this, or if there was any way nora sakavic could've timed it better, but i guess it's just still a little sad to think about. personally i'm not excited for the influx of post-tsc release content that suffocates the fan content made in the past ten years

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

sorry I was going to bed and I remembered people calling me parasocial over like. I can’t even remember who. And like bro I literally don’t watch any streamers I’m in too much pain to process a livestream the reason I’m so passionate about safeguarding in livestream spaces and empathy towards content creators is bc my brother literally works in esports. it’s literally just me knowing shit about live-streaming by virtue of knowing a live-streamer and knowing about many live-streamers from him. it’s not even a fandom war thing i just know how much it sucks for underage streamers and how fucking mentally scarring people treating you like an object constantly can be. like i have seen the effects of those things. sorry but treating streamers In General like human beings isn’t parasocial it is in fact more parasocial to treat ccs like objects you own than a stranger.

so the other day I discovered that my size has gone from a medium, an XL, to an XXL when it comes to buying clothes at Walmart. Which to me felt weird because it doesn't feel as though my body has changed drastically at all over the past few years, yet the pants at clothing stores tell me otherwise.

It got me thinking about whether I consider myself fat, or if I even have the right to consider myself that way. I know I'm definitely overweight, but I don't feel I have the right to claim I have the same struggles as people who are actually fat. I don't worry about accommodations for my size when traveling, I don't have bad experiences and I don't worry too much about being treated differently for my size by strangers or doctors. I don't struggle with pain and quick exhaustion more than an average person when it comes to being able to move my body.

Yet, the size of my body still tugs at the back of my mind constantly. You'd be hard-pressed to see a body like mine celebrated in popular media, where a large muffin top stomach and broad back are mismatched with thin limbs and small hands. A body that has a weak chin, and wide neck, and one that finds mass produced clothing uncomfortable. This body is usually never seen, or at the very least never made to seem beautiful. I also struggle in my field of work, where I have a hard time physically keeping pace with my coworkers, who I feel I slow down. Whos bodies seem beautifully made to do the work I so desperately want to and do good job in as well, but instead I slow my team down with my bodily need to catch my breath only after a small walk uphill. And it sometimes feels like no matter how much I exersize, how healthy I change my diet, I will never loose this weight that feels as though it drags my body down, and stops me from doing what I want.

I don't think I am ugly though. I love my face, my eyes, my lips. And though they are small I love my hands, and arms and broad back. And I love how I can see a body like mine here on tumblr, the space where artists capture the beauty of an unconventionally attractive body.

kpop is. a really really fucked up industry man. it really is

[psalmsofpsychosis]

vvitchscvm is also a pretty vocal terf

yeah, saw that part after. In an act of pure bravery she tried to shit on me on that post later, so i rewarded her efforts with wishing her a good night's sleep with her drugs and alcohol, as those are the closest thing to a friend she'll ever have ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[old-memoria]

And honestly tall ppl whining about their height sound like a nepo kid complaining about their obvious privilege. The tiniest violin in the world plays whenever a yet another model cries about being taller than her peers in the 6th grade in a yet another boring vogue interview

[thyme-in-a-bubble]

fucking finally, after a whole summer of telling myself to do it, did i schedule a new tattoo appointment.
