I came back to the tag one last time before bed and the spam got so bad that I actually had to start reporting it. I've never seen spam like this from the porn bots and I almost want those back instead djfjwjfj

#personal
The only drama I’ve been tolerating lately is my return to reading physical comics in public.  The world has gone batshit insane and that isn’t the intro panel to Immortal Hulk.  It’s pretty much real life for me without much explanation or external plot narration.  After a year of writing here about how I feel on any number of issues nobody in real life knows any different.  It’s always been here where the act of social sharing has fifteen layers of safeguards in terms of anonymity.  The community has always been very subtle and muted in how it treats each other.  It’s intimate how you come to know a person through their curation of content.  There’s entire relationships I have with people on here that matter more to me than people I’m in daily contact with in Chicago.  I’ve been submerged in the deep web like a cybernetic dolphin in a tank for years with the rest of you.  The Tumblr fishbowl has always been much more comforting than the public eye.  The only theory I have is that people really don’t pay attention to anyone in real life.  I’ve come to know the pain of recognizing when people stop listening.  Most people just project how great they are or how much more they know.  Society in America especially under the guise of capitalism is always a competition.  You can only assess the success or value of a person by the amount they make or more importantly spend.  From there people splinter off into efficiently divided cliques, tribes and teams that people try to draft you into out of fear of isolation.  Peer pressure doesn’t ever go away unless you shut the door completely or maybe even bust it wide open.  Even then it just gets nastier and more sophisticated.  You’d have to be the Hulk to enjoy that kind of constant abuse.  My follower count has been mostly the same which has always been something I respect.  Everybody knows I try to play it safe and genuinely respect different perspectives.  I walk boundaries and I maintain layers beyond that.  Around this time last year I had made a decision in my life to focus my attention on things that made me happy.  One of those was my communications here with people.  Things had grown from this into real life in a magical way.  And then people starting hijacking the narrative for their own selfish reasons.  Putting their own spin, opinion and value on the things they thought I was “trying to say.”  That kind of thing has been happening to me since the beginning of time.  People trying to turn something I do into something that can benefit them, influence or control.  When it comes to blogging on the internet here the outside world is mostly negative towards this space.  Truthfully I am pretty excited about the recent purchase of Tumblr but everything in the press is always negative.  People are so conditioned to bad news these days that we just fixate on the drama and do nothing about it.  People crave it in almost everything.  Walk into a coffee shop and employees are trashing other coffee brands instead of focusing on their own.  People talk behind other people’s back like it’s a secret trial and never face the demon within themselves.  Sometimes these things escalate into crossing the line or threshold of your dreams overcome by some madness and zealotry.  They think they have a say in whatever it is I do in my own time.  And with me we already know how badly people have fucked up in this regard.  It is sadly comical at this point and I am the butt of a constant cosmic joke.  It would be a broken record to spend another year describing how I haven’t gotten over it.  I don’t give a fuck about any of that shit really anymore.  I changed my train route, subscribed to better coffee at home and read Hulk comics on the commute.  
With all the drama between Sony and Disney over Spider-man people forget sometimes we’re talking about movies.  Who owns the rights to the intellectual property of poor artists to bankroll their studio profits every summer is maybe important.  If you didn’t have twenty two movies linked together already.  I don’t know really I just read comics.  I’m supposed to have an opinion about every part of the world I’ve never lived in.  Within all these arguments it’s always picking a side.  Mostly because people want a battle and a chance to feel right even when they are missing a perspective totally.  We can focus on all the talking about the problems all day and never find a solution.  It’s been particularly hard for me to come to grips with being in the environment I’ve been in.  I spent five years traveling to Asia to figure out my place outside of all this.  This last year I came back and focused closer to home.  In that respect I’ve found New York to be much less pretentious than I thought it would be.  It’s truly the city where you can cry on the street and nobody cares.  That feeling of freedom is something I don’t feel lately myself in Chicago.  There’s too much manipulation and utilization of public space.  People so concerned about why you aren’t happy and never would do a thing to correct the problem.  There has to be something wrong with you for feeling that way.  In New York you kind of share the space and let things breathe.  In Chicago everybody is trying to maximize your contribution to society.  Your social obligations in the highest taxed city in America are also taxed if not just by patience and will alone.  I pay taxes and I don’t mind paying them.  But encroaching on people’s life, liberty and pursuit of happiness for the sake of a brand is a bit weird.  Unless it’s Pink.  This coming from a guy decked out fully in Nike and Undercover.  You see these shirts that say “Chicago Over Everything” and then you see me rot in silence in my street wear coffin.  I hear a lot of sentiments that don’t ever address me directly.  People project what they hope you will hear and expect you to take the bait.  Looking for a fight.  Looking for a new friend to abuse.  Looking for another cult member.  People approach inclusion by never leaving you alone and make you feel crazy for feeling claustrophobic.   I guess people have never been a victim of police entrapment.  That’s some drama I’ve already written about and left in the dust.  These days it’s ten thousand times worse and then again I’m over it.  The double standard I see in the real world is mostly about making people question their legitimacy in the face of incompetence.  I’ve been the victim of so many dumb social experiments for art’s sake and otherwise.  All it ever really amounts to is intimidation and drama and it’s boring and ineffectual.  We argue things we can’t or won’t change instead of leading by example.  And leading in public by yourself with no safety net gets old after awhile.  Especially when nobody remembers all that you’ve done.  Or at least gives you the benefit of the doubt when the court of public opinion puts you on trial for the fifth week in a row.  People who will talk about you behind you back all day but never address you to your face.  Never acknowledge your validity.  Too busy being negative to give you a chance to shine.
There’s an entire decade of my life that has been left behind and forgotten about outside of Tumblr.  Imagine the irony that the people I shared things with here knew the deeper side of me.  And we all watched me get passed over and ruminate about how I could be a better person.  How I could right all these wrongs?  How I could be the hero.  And almost eerily like the Hulk comic I’m looked upon as something else.  I haven’t really had a modern comic experience quite like reading that graphic novel.  I just ordered the next volume and get to pick it up from another school’s campus after work tomorrow.  I do have to work all day tomorrow.  I’ve done that for almost two decades.  People still treat me like a kid.  People on Tumblr of course know I don’t feel like a kid or even remotely account for one mathematically.  But I’ve learned people look for any excuse to write you off.  They do it for years and when you grow better they find another thing to drag you down with.  When they can’t find anything they just ignore you.  And here we are a year later looking back.  It’s that time of year again.  People are actually back in school.  Just like every other year really it feels like.  People can acknowledge I feel invisible but not acknowledge me personally.  That’s the whole curse of the Undercover aesthetic.  You wear it so well even the police start getting it twisted.  Nobody asks.  Nobody has the guts to approach you and treat you fairly.  And so you grow to know better than to waste you time on shit that doesn’t appreciate your value.  It’s a mind fuck for me really to understand the way forward is more of the same.  That being isolated and exiled in some way is far more safe at this point of my life.  That maybe there’s things too precious for me to share with people who can’t fathom or know the value I place on it.  Because they don’t make the sacrifices I do to keep things safe.  To be responsible and be myself at the same time.  A year ago I felt like that mad scientist locked in a lab.  I’ve done enough barbell reps to be the skinniest Hulk alive.  The title of that volume is “Or is he both?”  It’s a far different vibe from either Professor Hulk or Planet Hulk.  Bruce Banner is a transient who changes into the Hulk nightly.  He’s tracking gamma ray signatures of what he calls Walking Ghosts.  Toxic creatures exposed like a virus to gamma radiation by another scientist trying to heal his son.  Banner is trying to right a wrong and at the same time stay in control of his inner core of responsibilities.  He keeps a secret that grows out of control and finally the Hulk cannot be contained.  Interestingly enough the Hulk exacts his rage in frighteningly calculated ways.  He even speaks kindly of Banner.  He also buries the other scientist in a mountain and makes him ponder hell forever instead of ending his life.  The Hulk eventually learns about this green door through the Walking Ghosts that whisper about it in fear.  There’s no gatekeeper at that door to hold the Hulk back.  And I’m sure there’s so much more drama behind that door.  It’s only Volume two after all.  I can’t wait to find out because that’s about the only drama these days I pay attention to.  I don’t need any drama getting in the way of my love for you.  Hulk out.  <3 Tim

Clone Wars        Brothers
I know of one of the weakest episodes the                                    weakest relation,
     I’m enthused          (No I’m not)
     Whoa,
      It’s red 
Tumblr media
     WHY IS IT RED??
      You had one episode      about Ven         -tress
      Is it now her       show?
        Seriously,     what happened in that       episode?
   Hold up
  [Let        me        ch-          -eck]
    Nope still is season four
    Now with an      apparent drop in           quality
   Great
    [ *Cracks open*]
 Ai-     ght
   O-h
   B-ea         ten
   Ah      no,      he was shocked which yeah     should’ve     resulted in him being unconscious
   But     ,“beaten”?
     Not the word I would’ve use     there,  
    To be         hon-est,
    Cr-ea             -tor
     Oh he exist-      ed before her          *Spell           *             So,       He’s not        exactly Franken        stein here      (Frankenstein‘s          monster        if you’re being      damn specific]        Un-less..
    Any-how-
      Sense           Him,
       Bull            shit,
        But          Okay,
      (Seriously            Dooku is just having all the vengeance today,    
         Sav-age Op            -press
        I mean everyone’s pretty       equal on energy        so       I guess an experience                    And confidence                  (He can-                    )
             *Seriously what is up with the coughing thing I know that was a something from the Og,        But it has     to mean something,
 And have forseeable        consequences
  (Aka add to the story)
   “A threat..”
   Dude you consider-ed Ven         -tress a threat last episode,
      ?
   (Like Maul was apprenticed to Si-d-ious who by all means should be higher on the chain of command than     V-en-           -tress-                -)
          (The power chain is all               screwy,)
             Though I do kind of give them points for addressing the criticism I had last episode, of grievous being assigned assignment way                         below his belt,
              Also excluding a few circumstances this is just constantly kicking with Grievous while      he’s down,
   And I’m honestly expecting a       Face- turn         any day             now
      (Like he got a glow up one episode before                it          promptly got            thrown away,            ,)             )            “ All       of us,”
       All of us         en-ablers,
    “Con-trol,”
    You can’t control       an adult human being           groomer             (Se-              ntient)                  .                A din-n                   -er
   Also why is the waitress bot                fle-e-ing
   Like wouldn’t it’s protocol dictate,         Either conferring with a customer or                Order-ing them to                       leave?
   Like why by any name       would you program your waitress bot            to panic               .                 And frigh        ten-      patrons?            .       Why           -         A-ight-           -         W-h
   Well,     that went on to long to be funny     (Having it just cut to him ordering a cheeseburger      now that would’ve been                funny,)
                Also       - the hell?
                  ?
Look nothing about anything that just happened indicated     that this guy was on a mission or         had any sort of plan other than       malician  
   You can’t show him openly participating in the      malici-an one second and then turning around and acting         intelligent     and on a      mission            .            Not without a transition     a whole lot more          Of emotion          And expla-
    Ex;
   “Where is it? You sa-”
    “Put her down now or I’ll call the           author-ities,”
      [Catch             -es               eye-             Backs              Away                -               Slow-ly                Runs into the alley/             cargo                way]                                       [Touches box-        has some kind of indicator
       [because of now-        there’s nothing there,            I have    no idea what to do with it-         Because there was       no indicator of what he’s referring to,
   Dude just touch the box and was like      ‘This must be a clue!’
    ??   [like you need to throw some sand-      or something on there-]
   I generally have not feck       what they were going for though
 [Objectivity      needs to reflect with what your chara       -cater    is saying otherwise I’m just going to assume they’re crazy]
        (Aka            you don’t need to put all the details out there           out-front                But you do need some indication.                (Again some kind of residue or                 substance on his fingers)
               Again I would have no idea what that would mean but I would have some indication that it meant something in the greater plan and I wasn’t just watching this character go  un-accountable
               .
     [Sorry but details are    im-portant]          -      ?     [So    she straight up track         ed him       right?]
   Because if I don’t see a        track-ing       chip on him. .        .        I’m        going          to be a bit        mad. .            .       ?             -          Yeah those dots are practically on top of each other so they must be in the same feck               in  din                -ner                -                  O-p.                   -      Oh back to this boring         plot          point,           .          Maybe it’s     gotten better from the      documentary, it was    . . .         ?           .        They are un-accountable that started a war and people that could and very possibly would’ve murder-    ed you at any point,
  (I’m not sure jumpiness         but generally              aggression       would be pretty well reason,              ( Actually jumpiness at the                  unaccountable’s              would be reasonable) 
           Also yeah I know her tone is still as dry as                sand paper                        -               Zero e-motion                          -               Hey still no               e-motion                 [A lower head and  
           Quick movement
           Aren’t emotions]
           Any puppet can lower                it’s head           and move quickly,
          There’s no regrets in her line there’s         ��no conflict. .         .           No inquisitive-ness there             what-soever-                    -             No rais.            -ing of the eyebrows or lightning of the        eyes,
      Nor lightning of the tone or          any energy,
   Do you know to tell her pupils didn’t widen or move in anyway nor did her body language changed at all
        ... or          her tone?
 [that’s how you tell it’s fe’cki’n        boring)]
     There’s no emotional consequence to this at all
    [Entertainment as a field that relies completely on empathy, on emotion, emotional stimuli
    If you don’t have that
   It’s not entertainment
  It’s an animation and logistical voice acting       how-to-course
    [not that that’s not of        value, just that             it’s not             as             advertis-ed,           Not as        promoted,          a problem]
    Again what does         any of this           mean?
                       [This is BOR-ING-                             ]                           -
    [Pretty sure      they’ve never met this        guy,]
      ?
     Why.              ?         [I know because my             amulet is pur                -ring,]               ]                    [ All said with    no emotion,                    -                    ]          -               [Hot cold hot cold      how the thing works      nobody fecking           knows-                 -               ]      [why does he look like a damn Muppet.]
      [standing out in the field.]
                [Why,]
[it just turned off five minutes ago what makes this time            so important?              ?
 Wow that had no emotion or     commitment whatsoever,]
    It’s a snake
    A sen-tient            snake,
  [ignoring any boom-er           symbolism]
  The heck kind of logistics        does that make?
   Like to make       sentient?
   It has to have the estimated amount of      accountable          energy,
       Of everyone else
   [Otherwise you’re just a cruel God]
   Like with Zila
   She had to be very         delicate
   *Em
So,how...  ?
[”I have no time for you,” * proceeds to attempt to fight them*         Constant characterization and consistency,  what?
 ?
[This is very     Stupid]
   -?
[Si-lence]
Oh, Ha Ha ha, it’s supposed to be funny because he’s a cheapskate despite that not being establishing no emotion being behind it , ha ha ha ha, so funny
            [Damn this movie]
[Revenge against selfish and entitled boomers can be funny]
  [Not in this case with no emotion]
  [Or establishment]
 [Making this unclear if it’s      kicking down at your own level]
               Feck you
            No Emotion!
   [No motivation         whatsoever!]
   Oh yeah sure they say that his thing is fine his brother       whatever, whatever
   [That’s a whole lot of telling and        a fecking an inconsistent amount of showing
        * as well as [lower] quality
  If you want to put words      and explanations over things happening     go to documentary school
   [i’m sorry I’m just a little pissed about this being called anything but observation]
     If you want to do a thing      at least make sure to do it properly!
    [I’m a fan of en-        tertainment]
    [As well as observation]
    [Seeing either           mis-labeled is a damn        shame-            ]
     [Could’ve been pretty useful,]
     [Thanks to mislabeling         it’s damn wasted time]
        [And effort                -]
         [which again           damn shame                      ,           ]
              *apologies for the excessive use of                    [the word] “damn”
               Unf-ortunately I don’t have anything else to say          because there’s nothing much engaging,               happening on screen,
          [You know this could’ve been an honestly heartwarming message about        someone who’s been treated to tox behavior by their peers and        cre-ators, [.      em-bittered to the world ]     struggling to find value in themselves,            On a mission by said           pro-genitors,               And a sandstorm-             Cutting com-        munication,               To said          tox influences,
