#just thinking about general stuff nothing specific

[indiaalphawhiskey]

Hi, do you believe L and H when they say they’re in the industry just to make good music? A lot of people justify their involvement in PR relationships or other stuff by saying, “that’s what they have to do to keep doing what they love,” but don’t you think that’s a bit naive? Or I don’t know.

Like, I know Harry’s said he just wants to make good music, but his public image is super curated and shaped in a way that clearly helps him sell more. He does massive tours, picks interviews that create award buzz, and in general he’s kind of a money-making machine. So… do you think his real intention is still just making good music?

I hope with all my heart that this is not a serious question and I'm not actually the first person in the entire world to explain to you how business works because I'm a little bit worried about the implications of you having internet access while this seems to be your very first day on planet Earth.

The entertainment industry is, as depicted in its very straightforward name, an industry that is built on an audience being entertained. How is what is entertaining and what isn't actually measured? By the willingness of people to fork over bucketloads of money to be entertained by specific artists.

Thus, all artists who are making their livelihood through their art have to be -- first, foremost and more than anything -- marketable. Saleable. Lucrative. Money-making. Before talent, before beauty, before vision, what gets you signed -- and more importantly retained as an artist -- is your potential to keep making a shit ton of money.

This is why artists who were formerly at the top of their industry get dropped by their labels and management the very second they have scandals or health issues or their potential dips for any reason, because all artists are commodities and are constantly weighed against their promised return on investment. No contract is secure, and so artists, even those at the top of their game, constantly have to prove that they're worth investing in, in order to (now hold onto your hat, cause this is where your mind gets blown) continue to make art that matters to them.

Because being saleable is a prerequisite to having the freedom to create the art you believe in. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive, they're actually cause and effect.

An artist's marketability is literally the only bargaining tool they have to get the big wigs to let them make what they want. That's why One Direction was only allowed to start writing their own songs when Louis fought for that right during Midnight Memories -- because they were literally too lucrative to bulldoze over by that point, and their management and label had to weigh the monetary gains versus losses of potentially pissing them off enough to lose their cooperation completely.

Now, how does an artist prove that they're marketable and lucrative, particularly when they don't have a new album ready to come out yet? By generating press and keeping people interested in them. This shows the big wigs that people still care about them -- will still go to their shows and buy their music and watch their interviews and purchase literally anything remotely tied to their name.

So, yeah. I do actually think that the only bloody reason they're doing all this is because music matters that much to them. Because it's their craft and their art and they love it to the point of being willing to put up with an absolutely abusive industry.

Because, I think you guys have forgotten: these boys are rich rich. Like, own multiple properties around the world rich. Invest in stadiums rich. Buy football teams rich. Have business portfolios that are generating passive income in the millions, literally while they do nothing. So, instead of positioning them as greedy, disingenuous monsters who only want more money and more attention, ask yourselves if they even need to put up with any of this shit to stay rich?

The answer is that they don't. They could retire tomorrow and their investments would keep on rolling. They're set for life. So, if they're putting up with the industry even at that point, doesn't it stand to reason that they just fucking love making music that fucking much?

But hey, it seems like you guys are bending over backwards to prove Louis and Harry are shit people. And to that I say: if that's what you think, why do you even care? If you think they're manufactured robots with not an inch of authenticity to them, why are you even bothering to debate with people who don't agree? You're in charge of where your attention and your money go, and if you're already so convinced they aren't worthy of it... then just don't give it to them?

Trust me dude, they won't notice.

No probs friend, generally feminist content that is specifically BDSM/kink-critical is severely lacking, compared to porn and prostitution.

This is going to be extremely long, it was not planned but while writing I noticed that I have a lot to say on that subject so. Sorry in advance.

For starters, some infos from someone with a neurophysiology bachelor :

- BDSM and similar stuff are what is known as "dissociative practices", aka submitting your body to more abuse in order to distract yourself from the suffering of your trauma. It works for a time, but it also can create new trauma and doesn't solve the main cause of all this, aka the traumatic memories that were never "digested" by the brain and therefore come back regularely. It's not and will never be healthy, and even less a way to heal.

- These practices also lead to a dysfunctioning of what is called the "rewarding system" in the brain. It's a functional web of cortical structures which, when it works normally, gives you the motivation to do a task because you anticipate the pleasure what will derive from it, or to avoid something because you learned that it leads to negative outcomes.

It can become dysregulated if you engaged with something that sent so much dopamine in your brain that the receptors are now having a hard time to function. You become desensitized to normal sources of pleasure, and you need to take/drink/act more and more in order to feel a basic level of pleasure.

This is what commonly happens with drug addicts of course, but also with porn and BDSM/kink/fetish adepts. They need more and more violent and disturbing stuff in order to feel a minimum of pleasure.

Put these kind people in contact with dissociated victims, and nothing bad could happen right !

(Also, the "violence then aftercare" thing is identical to grooming techniques. I'll abuse then love-bomb you, so more and more you can't tell the difference between good and bad, love and hate, happiness and suffering,and you'll stay with me even though I'm hurting you.)

- The brain doesn't make a difference between an imagined scenario and a real event. The two are literally handled by the same groupe of neurons ! Pretending to penetrate their partner in their sleep, that your partner is your 5-year-old sister, to say the worst insults to them, just generally to associate inflicting/being submitted to violence with sexual acts is NOT consequences-free on your perception of your partner(s) and of the rest of the world.

- An aparté about strangulation : the brain is around 2.5% of a human body's weight, but is needs 20% of its daily consumption of oxygen. This is absolutely enormous for its size, and depriving the brain of oxygen can lead to damages like loss of mobility, memory troubles, epilepsy. This is one of the most damaging normalized kink practices nowadays, with already measurable effects on people (mostly women) who are submitted to it.

That's for the science part, now personal experience !

- One of my first (conscious, at least) encounters with BDSM was when I was around 18, in a video from a liberal media directed a teens and yound adults where a woman was explaining what it was and how she was curing her trauma with it (it doesn't work tho, sorry !). In it, there was a sequence of her leg with fishnet tights, and a knife was slowly caressing it. I remember sweating for her behind my phone, thinking how can anyone put its health, even life in danger like this ? I couldn't exactly pinoint what was wrong because I was, like most western teens, head full into pro-sw & pro-porn propaganda, but I already felt like it was not normal to have lost the most basic survival instincts like going away when someone is touching your leg with the clear intention of harming you...

- When criticizing BDSM, one of the most sentences we can hear is : "But it's qu*er so it's fine !" Massive bullshit. Big, enormous, gigantic bullshit. "Qu*er" is a magical word everyone throws around these days to obliterate all critic, since "qu*er" is supposed to be the epitome of oppression and therefore nothing that is associated with it can be bad or oppressive.

(Be cautious while reading here, it gets very gross very fast)

So, the media where I saw the aforementioned video. It turned out that it was pushing these stuff very regularely with no critic whatsoever. I remember a "documentary" about a brothel in Berlin where men could have sex with human-sized plastic dolls. They could choose everything : skin color, race (ie elves, aliens etc), age, size of breasts, size of vagina, etc. The general shape of the bodies were of course the one seen in porn videos. Then, when the men made their favorite dolls, they went to a dark room and given a virtual reality headset. They then can bang their sex doll while being transported in a universe of their choice with the headset where the doll seems to be alive and liking what is done to her, with a woman talking to them through the headset pretending to be the doll, feeding the men with the sexual scenario they choose. Scenario that, you guessed, were heavily influenced by porn and BDSM...

All the headless bodies were hanging on iron hooks behind the rainbow pimp who was promoting his abomination. Even he seemed to notice that all this was maybe a bit too openly misogynistic. So, he needed to justify it with the most bankable excuses of our time : for now their dolls were mostly designed for straight men's desire, but they were expecting to receive more "qu*er" bodies so their club will be all inclusive !

I swear this was his justification. Literally just that (along with the very classic "it's sexually liberating and disruptive"). Fortunately nobody swallowed it in the comments of the video, and criticized the media for basically giving a free advertisment to this dude and his sexist house of horrors. But for how long ?

- I remember another very telling example on what BDSM does to your perception of abuse : during a random discussion in a discord server about which celebrities we found hot, one of the persons in the group who was known for engaging in BDSM practices talked about the singer of Rammstein, Till Lindemann. I then said that IRL he isn't that cool because he has abuse allegations directed at him, that he took very devoted fans behind the scene and then rape them. JUST after my message, that person said that she wouldn't mind going behind the stage with him ???

- BDSM-leaning people love, LOVE exposing people to their stuff, especially when they're young. It happens ALL the time. And then blame you for being there when you tell them that you did not consent to it... They arrive somewhere, throw their stuff in front of everyone, then tell us that if we don't like it we can go, and bis repetita.

Here's another example. I'm not a fan of the RPF genre (aka writing fanfics about real people) but last year out of curiosity I read some of political RPF from my country because two politicians from opposite parties looked at each other in a very enamored way, everyone noticed it and it then flared a massive surge in RPF fanfics on Wattpad.

One of the most popular ones started normally, the two politicians were disliking each other, then slowly falling, the classic enemies to lovers trope. Then one of them entered a toxic relationship with his boss, who repeatedly raped and wounded him. Then, just after that politician got out of the relationship thanks to the other one, out of NOWHERE, they start engaging in hard BDSM sex. Some readers were surprised and complained, why are they doing that while one of them was raped just like 24h ago and until now they had regular, healthy sex ? It was completely out of place on every level.

The only thing we were told before the start of that chapter is that it had sexual content, but not BDSM content. And that Wattpad users are a majority of underage girls, between 12 and 20 for the majority.

I was one of those confused people, and I posted a comment telling more of less what I said in the science part of this post, plus that it was irresponsible to expose this kind of content on a platform mostly used by minors, and with no proper warning before. Then, another reader of the fic answered me agressively that actually yes the characters did that before (they didn't) and that it was a way to cope with trauma, using her psychology studies to justify her takes. We then started a heated argument, and I did not understand why she was so agressively defending this chapter against me and other unhappy readers.

The thing is, this reader became the proofreader for the fanfic just some chapters before, and then admitted in the comments of another chapter that she actually was the author of most of it.

So, I stopped reading that fanfic shortly after that, and went away reading other ones. Another fanfic : the two characters meet, they fall in love, they are separated and find each other again... Classic scenario, classic loving sex scenes. Then, I see someone familiar in the comments. You guessed it, that beta-reader lady from the other fic. Very often she would say graphic stuff about one or the other character, what she wishes they could do to her or what she wishes she'll do to them (she identifies as a lesbian. All the characters were men. *sighs*). Then one day, the authors (they were 2) announced that she was going to proofread the fanfic from now on.

And from that point the sex scenes, that had nothing in particular before, started to incorporate things directly inspired from BDSM/kink : public sex, weird sextoys, choking and slapping, etc.

I did not want to complain again and left that other fanfic. I start to read others and again, on another one it starts again : average sex scenes, she arrives and says that she can proofread, the sex turns BDSM.

One time, okay. Two times, weird. But three times ? What she is doing is deliberate.

She then started to write fanfics on her own. The content was what you expect, and even worse since this time she was the only author. But she did not post them just on ao3, but also on Wattpad ! On ao3 it doesn't matter because the tagging system is functional. But on Wattpad it's irresponsible to post the violent things she write while knowing that her audience will be mostly minors and worse, to influence other authors to put things in their texts they wouldn't have if she wasn't there...

(It may sounds like I was stalking her, I very much wasn't but that fandom is very small and it's easy to cross paths with the same people multiple times 😅)

The weird does not stop here, it gets worse. She has a particular fixation on one politician, that she finds so pretty that she wants to hurt him. Most of her fics has this guy as the main protagonist, and let's say he got everything : shibari, being slapped, sissyfication... Strangulation especially, almost all the time.

And this politician has an ex-husband that she HATES. Like, really hates. You know why ? Not because she doesn't like his look or his ideas no... But because he looks "vanilla". Literally just that.

For those who don't know, "vanilla" is a term that BDSM and BDSM-leaning people use to talk about people who do not practice BDSM. It is supposed to be neutral, but it's acually used as an insult towards those who they think are sexually repressed and therefore have only boring missonary sex (since BDSM is the true liberated sexuality apparently).

So, milady BDSM-proofreader only hates that politician because he looks vanilla. And all of her fanfics are filled with degrading comments about how he is bad at giving pleasure, how he is powerless in front of stronger, kinky men. In almost every fanfic of hers, his partner cheats on him with multiple men because he's such a boring guy that something stronger is needed.

There have been rumours of cheating in this couple of politicians, with mr pretty-guy cheating with another politician while he was still married with mr looks-too-vanilla. It has never been proven, it's just a rumour. The third politician entering this story is also much more of her liking.

So, she goes everywhere on every plateform where she is, telling everyone that mr pretty-guy DID sleep with this 3rd dude before, during and after his marriage with mr too-vanilla like it was 100% the truth, and as always heavily implying that they had BDSM prectices, and are still having a relationship in the present.

And (because yes it's possible to go deeper in the icky) she currently writes with someone else an fanfic shipping that politician with another one who we know for sure used to be very abusive towards him (not as romantic partners, but as colleagues). This time there are no rumours, nothing, and yet she started and still avertise to this day the fanfic like that relationship happened in real life.

This whole mess is extremely interesting to see how the brain of someone incapable of dissociating violence with intimacy works. Under all the glittery discourse of consent and sexual progress, their actions speak volumes : those who do not want to hurt their partners are worthless losers, the lovers will harm you if they want you. Empathy is gone, the fantasy is harm, abuse is the fantasy.

Worst of it all, I'm not even sure they're doing all of these consciously. That's just how they work. Like the whole "I expose children and unconsenting adults to my perversions" ; violating boundaries is so ingrained in their psyche that they can't even notice when they're doing it on others.

I guess that's why BDSM is called a lifestyle and not just a sexual practice, because it creeps into every interaction you have with others. And when this lifestyle is slowly but surely becoming the lifestyle of an entire society, it's not going to end well.

To finish this wayy too long comment, if I can give an little advice as someone who crosses path regularely with these people and ideas it would be this : don't ever be afraid to call abuse abuse. They'll say and do the most horrible, degrading shit to others and then whine that they feel uncomfortable around you, and ostracize you because you pointed out that it is not compatible with human dignity. Don't bother ! Let's recaim the spaces they invaded. Let's continue to name and describe what they are doing bluntly, without using their fucked-up vocabulary. There is no "breath-play", there is strangulation. There is no "consensual non-consent", this is brain-training to associate rape with pleasure.

Being called a regressive, repressed puritan vanilla loser is not the worst thing on the planet that we were thaught it was. No matter how hard they push their propaganda, conservatism is not in the feminists' side, it's on theirs. Sexual violence is not revolutionary, it is the most normal of the norms in a patriarchal society. What is a revolution is the idea that love can and should be free of violence.

I'd love to hear some opinions on kink and bdsm culture, it's something i feel i'm only mildly informed on but i really wanna hear other peoples thoughts so pls lmk

(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ

edit : to clarify, i only want the opinions of feminists / women, not creepy dudes who get off to 'simulated' rap3 or brutalised women

Going to do something more (and nicer) later, but a small glimpse under the suit! As cool as I think really well designed robots are, I know myself and my skill level there so it is very generic “robot” shaped (There’s definitely more going on under the shell, but at first glance it is very cartoon android shaped)! I won’t go super in-depth rn but I can share a glimpse into my thoughts with his recovery!!!

(putting it under a keep reading, it is very messy and stream of consciousness anguish and misery, but we survive!)

During his first week in Castletown (though it definitely should have been longer) he had these very restrictive bandages that were basically holding his arms to his body. They were healed in the sense they were currently attached to his body like literally, but it was almost like his body didn’t get the memo quite yet and while he was VERY hesitant to admit it for a hot second he felt like they were going to fall back off again. Quick timeline thing is that Darkworld time works differently from light world time (normal stuff normal stuff) but Kris and Susie after talking to Toriel take Tenna to castle town but then go back to go to church (so you drop him off before church and then they come back after church but before Noelle). Anyway so in between them dropping him off and checking in was a lot longer in the darkworld than real world, so by the time they visited he had shed the actual bandages for some braces (albeit hesitantly).

I need to expand more on specific details (hold me to this chat) but he is constantly in a state of refusing to wear these shoulder braces and then having to wear them until he starts feeling better and he sheds them again. He is very prideful and even in this more stable position as the classroom TV he is very touchy about being “broken” and is very much in denial. His main thing(tm) is pain in his shoulders when they are extended too far in any direction (though up is definitely the worst), he pushes himself all the time which does not help in the slightest. Alongside that he has basically TV migraines (whaaaa no this has nothing to do with my lingering migraines shhhh) with a lot of pressure and heat and it gets hard to focus his “eyes” and the picture on his screen.

There is more,,, I will probably reblog with better info but it is best to get down my thought while I have them (totally willing to clarify stuff as needed before I manage the nicer, easier to read, probably better written version of this idk XD) Susie is very “dude it’s okay to admit you’re in pain so we can help!!!” Especially after chapter 4 (which I just barely finished)

[portalbones]

Just something about ghosts (specifically the DP ones) Warning long post.

Acids (and bases) are able to conduct electricity. The stronger the acid, the more electricity it can conduct, since those have particles that are more heavily dissolved. That means there are more freely floating particles, which act like electrolytes and shit to conduct electricity. I know, I know. "But portalbones, when are we gonna get to the ghosts? This is just chemistr-" shut up or I'll whack you with a rolled up newspaper. Or something.

"Strong acid" as a term more refers to how much of the acid dissolves rather than a measure of how corrosive the acid is. HCL in low enough concentrations can still be less corrosive than a weak acid like acetic acid, which is just vinegar. But, in a pretty basic concentration (like if both are the same concentration), HCL will be more corrosive (I think) and will conduct more electricity.

You know what else acts kind of like electricity?

A whole fuckton of those ghost laser things that danny has shot from his fucking ass in multiple episodes.

Ectoplasm is often used as a weapon, both by the ghosts and by the Fentons. It must have some attack potential beyond "ugh yucky slime," right? The idea I'd like to propose is ectoplasm being acidic.

All ectoplasm would contain some sort of strong acid, but in varying concentrations. Ghosts like the Box Ghost or those little shit goo ghost things that are your generic specter who aren't as strong would have lower concentrations of ectoplasmic acid, meaning they can conduct less energy and their surfaces would basically be non corrosive. Maybe a bit tangy if you bit them, idk.

Stronger ghosts like Skulker or Ember would have higher levels of acid, allowing them to conduct more energy and use stronger attacks. If you touched them for too long, it might sizzle a bit, but still nothing major. Skulker can power his suit with the energy conducted from his acid, which is unusually high in concentration for a ghost so small.

This acid would help them eat, since to stretch themselves like that they probably don't have much for organs, because those would be destroyed. They can still consume food because it's just dissolved inside them. Even ghosts who are weaker still have this, because the acid manifests in layers. The closer to the core you go, the more acidic they become. The core is what provides the energy that will be conducted, the acidity is what lets them use it. That's why sending out beams doesn't fry the ghost who does it. Or something.

Surface level ectoplasm is likely what's seen getting all over the Fenton lab and what shows up when there's an ectoplasmic mess to clean up. It's not really corrosive, just glows annoyingly (zinc sulfide, anyone?) And has the acidity of maybe vinegar. If you have a cut or sensitive skin it might sting. The ectoplasm used in the ghost weapons is stronger, maybe enough to give surface burns but usually targeting ghosts.

I feel like Danny and Vlad would work in a similar way to this, meaning ghost Danny just has no organs. Cut him deep enough and he'll melt the knife that you used to do it. It explains why he can use so much energy, since his acid levels would be comparable to one of his stronger enemies. These levels can adjust over time, becoming stronger as they power up, but it usually doesn't impact the ghost negatively.

Certain ghosts have an abnormality that makes their acid content super high, so that even the outer layers burn stuff pretty well. Things like that would be found in the ghost I made for the comic, for example, though I don't think any canon ghosts fit the bill. Have fun fighting that, Danny.

TL;DR basically ghosts have acidic ectoplasm that conducts the energy from their cores to use their ghost rays and stuff. The outer layers are pretty neutral though. Maybe chucking baking soda in the Box Ghost's face would hurt him. Idk. If the science here is wrong blame my sophomore Chem class for that. I don't remember that shit.

[goblinlurkin]

along with stealing artwork, i think my feelings A*I* being used for furry stuff is some people really can't see anything else with it but a service for their goon session, devoid of any need to interacting with the artist or even acknowledge them. like they'll just take soulless bowser drawing just standing there with some warped bdsm harness with one too many buttons cause the alternative is having to wait for an artist to get around to it and see other things that isn't just bowser spreading ass.

[thelastspeecher]

on a whim, looked up "books better than Harry Potter" bc that was how an online review of one of my favorite books described it, and a bunch of "read this if you liked Harry Potter!" things popped up. and let me just say

I really REALLY love the Underland Chronicles and Artemis Fowl but I don't think they're a good fit for someone whose only idea of what they might want to read next is "I liked Harry Potter"

[necrotic-nephilim]

What do you think about the fab five polycule

(Dick x donna x wally x garth x roy)

i'll be SO honest i wish i had like. insightful interesting opinions on them but i've always been a Young Justice kid and sort of. breezed past consuming Fab Five Teen Titans content-

but of what i *do* know, from the few comics i've read with these characters is this is one of the best ships for Dick, honestly. it always deeply annoys me when fanon content breezes past the Titans as if they're just some distant teammates and not some of Dick's closest friends, if not a second family. *especially* the Fab Five. for most, if not all of them, it's the first time getting to actually connect with other teen heroes. so there's something fun about how sort of terrible they are at it, at first. they all care about each other a lot. but they're kind of chucked into the deep figuring out how to work with each other and get along with *very* different personalities, so it's fun to see where the conflict comes.

as a ship, i do really love it. the Titans are a family. like we call a lot of teams found families, but for the Fab Five, that shit is the truest. they depend on each other and trust each other. when Dick and Bruce are on outs and Bruce fires him, he goes to the Titans.

i also enjoy how, to an extent, all of them are outsiders of some kind. Donna is alone in a new world she's never experienced, the same as Garth. Roy is still new and awkward to living the rich life with Oliver. Wally doesn't connect to his parents well. and of course, Dick has lost his parents and only has Bruce, who isn't the most emotionally available. of course they're going to cling to each other, as the first people they can really develop connections too. they're very clingy with each other and i think that's both cute and *fun* to explore like, codependency issues with them. how protective they can be of each other, how they default to trusting each other over their mentors, etc. it's all very interesting for a polycule, especially since for most of them, it's their first real relationship. i'm a big fan of "none of us know what dating looks like bc we've had such strange childhoods so we don't understand the Rules very well. we're all just going to date each other bc why would i date only one of you. do teamups count as dates now." vibes with teenage polycules. and the Fab Five just. have that on lock. they each fulfill a different "niche" in the group. Garth is the softer, more emotional one you can go to if you're upset. Donna is the one for planning bright fun trips and making sure you don't wallow. Roy is protective and can pretend to be suave, but he shows affection through gift giving and grand gestures where words fail him. Wally can cheer any of them up with jokes and distractions. and of course Dick is the logical one who makes sure they all keep their heads on and don't drown in the responsibility.

overall i think it's a really cute ship and i do wish i just. knew more about them to be able to write them/read fic of it because i do love their dynamic. and i'm just a firm believer in the Titans being Dick's family, just as important to him as the Batfam. they're a disaster and for that you gotta love them.

You know... it's okay to trust your body. If you are separated from your body to such an extent you feel you cannot trust it, I truly from the bottom of my heart empathize and feel grief for you, but you can trust your body.

It's okay to listen to your body and to heed what it is telling you. I wish you (and your body) well wherever you go. You deserve the peace of mind to feel able to do what you want.

Every day I wake up regretting getting emotionally invested in Jujutsu Kaisen

[yeonban]

Tobias is always wearing the latest fashion & using the allegedly latest gadgets (<-most of which don't actually exist on the market bc they're made at Wammy's or specifically created for him alone) but his house only has the minimum technology required to function & even That is placed strategically in rooms he rarely goes into and typically no guests can access. NEVER in his bedroom or hangout rooms where he typically speaks in (<-except the gaming/TV room, for obvious reasons). He too knows how to hack systems, so he's more than aware of how easy it can be for sb who works in the field to grab a hold of his stuff and use it to their advantage if they wanted to.

Blud doesn't even have CCTV cameras installed anywhere because he doesn't want them to be hacked into & used to spy on him instead, so whenever he wants to find/retrieve footage of anything, he either hacks into the city's surveillance cameras, looks at the cameras his various friends have installed around their houses/headquarters/territories/etc or finds someone who can access relevant visuals from the inside (i.e police/fbi/cia agents etc) 😭 the only cases in which he'd install cameras is if he'd know sb is after him & he wanted to misdirect them with fake info about his life/schedule/routine/etc, but they'd be promptly taken down afterwards anyway.

[floorpancakes]

i think constantly about what doumekis inner monologue would be like cause its like the one thing we DONT know other than when he's clearly saying exactly what he's thinking. most importantly i kind of want to know HOW he self narrates when he's in freak mode cause we have seen his visual pov but never directly inside his head and id pay every organ in my body to see that. actually i don't need to do that i can just think about it myself. but like. sometimes it slightly changes depending on the day itd be nice to get a clearer mental image of how exactly he freaks the fuck out

[nobodybetterlookatme]

I've never heard of emts working only at events? What's that like for you if you don't mind my asking?

Yeah, there are ambulance companies that staff certain events, but there's some event specific companies out there lmao. For me specifically, it's almost entirely college events, whether it's happening on a campus or not. It's not great, usually pretty boring, but it's better than being on an ambulance or in a hospital. We do get actual emergencies sometimes, but usually it's just getting drunk people to the tent or giving out water and bandaids lmao. Again, boring as fuck, but I chose this over working on a 911 rig, so that's on me 😔 if I'm being so real tho, other than my coworkers, the best part of the job is the food lmaoooo it's so good and all the food trucks/food booths give discounts or free food to us depending on the location and event. And there's almost always a ton of downtime, so I basically just get paid to sit there and vibe for the most part

every time i so much as think about that scene where light looks at porn magazines while scowling i go into hysterics its genuinely the funniest thing i've ever seen

don’t know how 2 say “if I unfollow u as a mutual I promise it’s nothing personal” without just saying it but like. If u primarily rb unrelated stuff frum art I might unfollow from time 2 time (esp if it’s a lot of discourse related stuff) bc I’m becoming increasingly aware of how bad I am at monitoring and filtering my own racing thoughts when it comes to viewing an excessive amount of discourse posts. I will still check in and rb and probably even refollow once I get my brain set back on track but yah. If this means anything
