look im new to the life series but what i've noticed so far is that pearl and cleo's relationship is by far the best thing i have ever witnessed. like, there is no in-between when it comes to them. they're enemies. they're strangers. they've known each other their whole lives. these two could quite literally play any relationship at any time and i would believe the absolute heck out of it
#pearlescentmoon#zombiecleo#trafficblr#life series#no because why do they have so much tension#like everywhere just TENSION#they could pretend to be married and i would believe it#they could pretend to be best friends since childhood and i would believe it#the range these guys have is insane

Tetris Fanart.
I've been playing tetris while listening to horror podcasts. and yeah
#text#art#eyestrain#cw eystrain#bright colors#cw bright colors#tetris#nintendo#god i dont know what to tag this with. i dont wanna tag it with the podcasts themselves cuz that feels disingenuous. swagever#i actually started this piece a while ago. ok yeah looking at the date that was almost 3 weeks ago wow#but i finally decided to bring it back and finish it#ive been getting back into digital art and its been really nice. its nice having finished pieces.#ive been trying to get weirder with my art. like this piece was weirdly 'personal' in a sense#its been my unique experience listening to these pieces of media. the game in the bg is jsut as important to my experience as the art itsel#the looming sense of dread these podcasts give fit weirdly well with the high tension of some of these games of tetris#i wanted to have that sorta weird ominous vibe to it. have even the pieces feel loud and threatening.#and the gameplay being Past the ds itself is something i thought could be neat#ykno the tetris effect? where you play a bunch and then after you see the shapes everywhere;you play it in your mind?#that was part of what i wanted to channel there. but also like; how your attention works with this stuff#i might be looking straight at the ds but my attention is elsewhere; my brain is in another world#the game is still inescapable tho. tetris effect whatever. these stories stick in my brain just as much.#its all given me some. very very annoyingn anxiety. but i have to go back to them. like a moth to a flame etc. hince the moth climbing out#but uh yeah. that set up was my life for a few weeks whenever i had free time.#the main podcast this is about was magnus btw <- not typing full name so im not on the tag#and uh.#objectum#yeah i think. i think yeah.

what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again
#i just dont know how else to tell you everything !!! santoor from a different room the large family gathering the black tea with saffron#drank out of delicate glass and gold vessels cold marble on hot nights big stars big rivers big mountains#visible from busy tehran roads the ease of conversation tension eased by sarcasm tall tall cliffsides you drive by#rushing to put on headscarves before the head teacher comes in a rave by the base of damavand massive sun pastel purple skies#disjunct architecture trucks on road sides with fresh fruits pomegranates watermelons oranges everywhere#the smell of golpar on tangerines beautiful girls in tehran holding hands bautiful boys in kermanshah speaking kurdish the janky#cars on the verge of breakdown held together by love caspian sea lighting up in spring staying up into the morning on noruz#my friends uncle sang and played setar his son played the violin a little fear a lot of love remnants of something#grand carved into the cliffside everything feels bigger taller the landscape swallows you it smells like#illegally imported wine and orange blossoms and auntie's tahchin soaking your eyes in warm tea when youre sick#tomatoes and salt concrete and stone something mandmade and something raw new flag old resilience#the anger getting to us bruised eyes big grin all i know is the north i feel sorry my mother asks if id be okay#if they got a place in tajikistan we love each other enough dont we? when we look in the mirror we see each other. theres a love letter#across the border and it says I MISS YOU IM GLAD YOURE DOING BETTER itll never be the same im not okay with it at all there are no more#stars i miss jumping over big fires i miss our fireworks im sorry we cant be happy anymore everyone#leaves the mint and rosewater and sunlight for a reason.#it's not pride it's just generational regret

What are you even supposed to do after you finish reading something that cannot be beat. I felt like that after finishing Golden Kamuy, but now I'm really fucking feeling it after just finishing Usogui. That was the most insane incredible experience I've ever had reading a manga. I kneel.
#its got me feeling like a victorian asylum patient.#fuck oh my god. please has anyone else read it please can yuo hear me...#its 7 am. i need to sperg somewhere. somehow.#i never make posts like this.. thats how much i need to glaze this series.#firstly. the yaoi is world class.#anything else would be secondary to that but everything else is executed flawlessly as well.#it gets so fucking silly. like the naked guy doing a polygraph on a plant so he could win at the game battleship.#but its also an emotional rollercoaster.#the foreshadowing that's sprinkled in everywhere ooohh my god....... the tension and build up and stakes... its peak......#when ive read some super popular normie manga like jjk or dunmeshi or csm ive felt literally nothing#they may as well have been dozens of volumes of tv static#but sooo many people love them and talk about them.#nothing wrong with liking normie stuff btw. thats just my subjective opinion on those series#i put usogui on my To Read list after watching some video essay that ive completely forgotten about ages ago.. and thats it#ive never seen anyone else talk about it.#if i can make just One tumblypoo read this series then i will be happy

a while ago on the discord i brought up the "which desk at the station is forrest's desk" question when the answer should probably have been obvious. he's been at the job for approx. one week, so it's the desk with all the unpacked boxes. it just didnt occur to me because thats Frankly A Lot Of Boxes and my first thought was this is where all the storage and junk are piled on, but no. it's all stuff forrest brought (/hc). he's a heavy packer. he spite packed all the stuff he didn't want his old job to keep even if he doesnt need or even like them all that much but now that he's blacklisted then no one in the entirety of chicago can have them
#killer frequency#forrest nash#i'm also half convinced tbh that the bulk of what he brought in are station supplies lmao#so to disingeniously bring up a further point in the tags again instead of sensibly adding to the main post#the game has this narrative tension btwn audio storytelling vs visual storytelling#especially in regards to forrest's character/impression vs the impression we the viewers have of The Town#environmentally- this town is Filthy lmao i'm so sorry everyone but like#forrest bringing up A Smell after we are Surrounded the whole game by dead bugs left everywhere#and both inside and outside the station just Looking Like That#like he's Not just being mean but he is absolutely not being gentle about it either#this touches on the town being in disrepair perhaps bc of local officials not doing much to promote/maintain upkeep#as well as clive the station janitor being BUSY with other projects lmao#but in the protag's POV where he's been upended from his life and then finds himself in a building infested with bugs#also with a brand new sleep schedule. ok he is going to be A Bit Grumpy About It (better or worse depending how you RP him lol)#but yeah i do like that very subtle tension bc this is largely an audio driven story#and in that sense it's easy to just brush off all of forrest's pettiness to him just being a mean person full stop#ALL THIS TO SAY that i think forrest packed five or more boxes of bug repellent ty for coming to my ted(dy) talk#and also more music/soundbites & tech bc KFAM is a bit lacking from what he's used to#\o/ UNCALLED FOR CHARACTER BUILDING!!

Muslims are definitely oppressed in the USA
Show me the paragraph in the American law where it explicitly states that Muslims do not have the same rights as any other American citizen.
On the other hand I have dozens of examples of how ethnic, religious and other minorities are legally oppressed in Muslim countries. And that’s leaving aside discrimination and violence… and women who can’t be considered a minority.
And if we’re talking about religion, there is not a single country in the Muslim world with actual religious freedom. Let’s call oppression what it really is, and not pretend that millions of people emigrated from Muslim countries to the west because they wanted to live in liberal countries where they wouldn’t face actual oppression.
The fact that some of them then used their newfound freedom to turn entire neighborhoods into Islamist enclaves where no public service, no business and especially no woman or girl can thrive is still a mystery to me. But no one is fooled anymore by the ones who cry Islamophobia when they’re told no you can’t put a veil on a child, no there will not be halal food at a public school, no people will still eat and drink outside even if it’s Ramadan, no we won’t use public funding to build a religious building, yes your children will have to listen to the evolution theory in history class and go to PA etc etc.
#people who want to impose their religion on others aren’t oppressed#they’re actively oppressing others#and using liberal rights to push an ideological agenda that is stirring up tensions absolutely everywhere#a man just got stabbed to death in Bordeaux for drinking wine on the Aid day#a young girl beaten to a coma by more than 20 boys for dressing like a western girl#so let’s just stop

i just finished season 3 of superstore and i swear i have never been so invested in a relationship in my life why are they edging me
#user: gossippool 😝#my mom is watching it with me and she finds it funny but i don't think she cares much for the whole. pregnancy. cheating. sex thing#but idc. this is the first time i excuse cheating jonah shouldn't even have gotten with kelly#i was praying for them to break up the whole time#usually i think its cheap when sitcoms have to have that one slow burn romance to carry the show but this time. my god i am so into it#the office fell off for me once jim and pam got together but i am LOVING this show so far#and also jonah is stupidly hot im so sorry#his eyelashes. his hands. his arms. his everything everywhere all at once#it was just SO PERFECT LIKE the kiss. the awkward tension. the second kiss. the second awkward tension.#the argument where jonah was like i waited two years for you and you waited until i was in a relatiomship and you were pregnant to kiss me#the third awkward tension. jonah breaking up with kelly. the third kiss and the sex. oh my god

It’s crazy how much my school stumbles over itself to take the centrist position to everything but stays just clear of taking a side and making it clear they’re in support of their minority students 🙄🙄
#.txt#just got an email about ‘disagreeing better’ some stupid ‘political depolarization’ program#like shut the fuck up why are you going sooooo out of your way to make sure that your shitty conservative students don’t feel bad#oh no don’t be mad at people for holding shitty regressive beliefs that directly impact your life in a negative way if followed through :(((#that makes them feel bad :( and their feelings of security and validity are more important to use than the safety of the people they seek#to harass and target#pisses me off the school doesn’t hang any pride flags anywhere but makes everyone individually choose to#the implication of a ‘safe space’ is that not everywhere is safe#and it’s up to individual professors to choose whether or not they want to make their office a safe space#so you’ll make all of your profs read off a ‘land acknowledgment’ and put it in their syllabus#recognizing that the school is a colonist organization that was engaged in native boarding school efforts#but you won’t make the profs read out any kind of inclusivity statement?#your discrimination policy should be the absolute bare minimum not the only safeguard in place to keep students from being harassed#you can tell they just want to go full conservative but they’re obligated to be progressive because of the administration#there’s absolutely tension within the school about the direction we swag politically#and tbh i don’t know where it comes from but it manifests as this incredibly terse tone#where the school seems petrified to say anything even remotely partisan#they talk like a fucking senator and not a campus administration

just beginning to settle for me how reflective of our culture it is that the current biggest meme online is the fact that barbie and oppenheimer coincidentally come out on the same day. barbie is a multi million dollar plot by matel both to sell more products and to increase media engagement since that's where the future is for advertising their products and oppenheimer is a dramatization of the only time nukes were ever used in war that targeted two civilian cities and killed thousands upon thousands of innocent people from the perspective of the man who developed it and viewed it as a necessary evil to end a war that was basically already over. girlbosses and bombs! isn't everyone having fun
#I feel like a kill joy but man it's so strange#I'll probably end up watching the barbie movie but it's crazy to me that no one is unsettled by how big of a deal#barbie has made itself. I can name 6 different stores that are selling barbie themed merchandise#including the one I fucking work at#it's effective marketing too because you don't even have to market the characters you just have to sell the motifs n shit#pink pink pink and the various barbie logos that everyone has been familiar with for decades#trying to avoid calling the campaign explosive because I feel like that defeats my point but yknow. it's a huge deal#the coincidence with oppenheimer has given that movie so much free advertising for a movie that has only advertised itself with cast#interviews and that huge ass film roll#idk there's just something to be said about how ironic it all is#especially with the timing of the oppenheimer movie and current world events#like on the 11th the us tried to put a nuclear submarine in guantanamo kind of current world events#increasing tensions everywhere and the us is making an ass of itself so here's a movie heralding Mr Biggest Bombs as a complex dude#oh what a long ass post to have reblogs turned off on

I’m a failure
#came back from math test#bombed it even harder than the last one#and I got a 48 on that one#I could barely understand what I had to do#or like I knew the first half of how to do something but not the second#and it’s not that I don’t understand the material I got it perfectly fine when we went over it in class#but I’m too goddamn lazy and don’t pay enough attention in class anymore for me to retain it#there’s options everywhere for me to get better as well#I just don’t take it because I’m too lazy#because I’d rather spend time thinking about Cookie Run and drawing stuff for it#and I’m doing horribly in all my classes because of it#I’ve barely turned in any homework this semester and we’re at least halfway through#like why? None of this is going to matter#in a few months I’ll get out of my Cookie Run Phase and find something else#and this is college it’s important for my future and career to do good on these classes#but I just don’t care and I hate being like this#but I’m too lazy to do anything about this#like I could tell you so much about the lore of Cookie Run#yet I can’t tell you how to find tension#it’s just…*sigh* I’m a failure#sorry I need to rant#now I’ll go and forget about how I feel#rant#real life stuff#no one’s gonna read this

Mean girl trio with asmo satan and beel
Should they be like mean mean
Or "nice mean"??? I think the 2nd one works the best especially since beel is involved cause hes not dumb enough to not be bothered by asmo being mean to mc
#writing idea#beel will be emotional support for mc later on probably and also hes hot so he needs to be in the group and bribing him is very easy#im gonna try not to straight up copy mean girls or heathers here...#but i need asmo and mc to have the most toxic relationship in existence#okay exaggerating#but its messy#first its just mc seeing through asmos image he likes to push forward#so they probably dont go along with whatever he wants which makes asmo dislike them#and this just leads to mcs rep just plummeting#and the tension between asmo and mc just keeps getting worse until they have a standoff in the bathroom that leads to them making out#so after THAT asmo decides to take mc “under his wing” but its more like hes trying to like keep them nearby#so hes dragging them everywhere and dressing them up and shit#eventually mc is like...yo this is annoying and tries to bounce but just makes asmo latch on harder#so mc is like...i gotta figure out how to undo this whole situation#but the mc keeps throwing it back for asmo even tho they said they would try to end whatever they have going on#and this doesnt even factor in satan and beels thoughts#i feel having them be brothers would mess up this whole dynamic#so they have to be just people that go to the same college or whatever#maybe i could work with that better#let me think on this more...#idk if im gonna write more about this in some tags on a random post lol#i just wanted the bathroom makeout thing to exist but now im building a whole world around this ONE scene in my mind

i've internalised too many Good Writing Rules and now i only use like five possible sentence structures and all my writing sounds exactly the same. and i genuinely don't know how to break out of it -_-
#maybe i'm overthinking it and it's not actually bad#but i feeeeel like i'm putting too much emphasis everywhere and so it ends up having none. ?#like if you take a paragraph out of context you might say okay that has tension that's Striking that's Raw#but it's literally all like that. and it gets old so fast. hhhhh#i can't even necessarily name the things i'm overusing bc they're too specific it's just. like.#i look at a paragraph and i go hm yeah i've written that paragraph five times before.
