#no I didn’t have one

[lostmymuseagain]

From around the mid nineties some tape decks would fast forward to the next song and late model VHS players had the same function (I bought one about 2005 for my old VHS tapes and home movies from my childhood but I don’t know when models with this function started being sold).

But

The tape decks with the auto fast forward and rewind function were expensive

You had to wait more than a few seconds while the tape wound forward (yes it was an actual tape on a reel in the cassette)

We had cds by the nineties so if you had the money to buy one of these things most people would buy a cd player instead.

They only worked on commercial albums you had bought not homemade mix tapes and they were kinda hit and miss on the bought ones to be honest ( the vhs player worked on home recorded tapes but the one I bought is the only one I know that did the auto fast forward and rewind thing and VHS was well and truly dead by then).

They were just as likely to chew up the tapes as the regular tape decks and Walkmans.

I think the main reason tapes hung on as long as they did was they worked better on the move. Personal cd players and car stereo cd players were shit for years, the cds got scratched to fuck and became unusable at the slightest bump. At least if a tape got chewed it was often still useable with a little doctoring and a lot of hope, even if the audio was a bit warped in the chewed section.

Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes you pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.

Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.

Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

I think Dick and Jason would have multiple “what the actual fuck are you saying right now” with Tim and Damian when it comes to quality of life/monetary differences. Sure, Dick and Jason got used to Bruce’s “is $100 a good enough tip on a $30 bill?” shit, but hearing Tim talking about a new laptop he bought for $5000 literally is like a punch in the gut.

If they ever went on a cruise (which they totally wouldn’t because cruises are floating death traps), Jason and Dick would be in awe of the fancy amenities, where as Damian would be unsatisfied with the quality, since he grew up with every single amenity known to man. Tim would just feel like it’s all normal since the Drake’s were extravagant and travelled all over the planet.

Jason : My bedroom is bigger than my fucking apartment.

Dick : I could do a full gymnastics routine with the space in my room.

Tim :

Dick :

Tim : My room is normal sized…

Jason : You grew up in a mega mansion. I hardly think you’re the benchmark of a normal room-

Damian : I must agree with Drake. This room is frankly underwhelming.

Dick, staring wildly at him : What do you mean underwhelming- Dames there’s an aquarium wall in your room.

Damian : Yes. Underwhelming.

Jason :

Dick :

Jason : Do you want to-

Dick : Jump off the boat? Yes.

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!
