Favorite panel from the Wicked graphic novel. Sadly there is no artist's depiction of the philosopher's club 😮💨

the way other fanfic writers write boys and men tells me a lot of you have never observed men interacting in the wild much less had male friends of your own. he literally wouldn't do that
#not me studying male coworkers and classmates for “authentic behavior”#group of men just as dumb as a group of women though the brain cell count drops faster XD#however a mixed group where everyone's input matters usually gets stuff done and is a lot of fun#power imbalance in a mixed group is a palpable joy killer eg the guy/gal who thinks they're in charge#but if your guy friends and your gal friends are all equally down for hijinks#it is SO fun#anyway the best fics in any trope are ones where men actually act like men#straight gay bi it does not matter men by and large behave similarly with each other#sometimes you get the sensitive thoughtful types who read and philosophize#but they still watch sports and they still play in the dirt boys will be boys etc#writing fanfic#and even some of the best men will second guess a woman's testimony if another man has a shred of doubt#the boys club is real and it's everywhere#not even women trust each other that much ime#most importantly everyone is multifaceted and wrong sometimes#guys can mean well and mess up#they aren't knights in shining armor they're just dudes doing what they think is right or normal

Need to start a book club for people who like Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Kafka, Rilke, Nietzsche. Also just to hang out on a discord server or something and be friends. I would like a close little group of friends, God knows it’s a lonely world, but I don’t think it has to be.
I’ve been reading The Idiot and I’m desperate to share my outpouring of feelings with someone. :^)
#classic literature#russian lit#dostoevsky#the idiot#crime and punishment#the brothers karamazov#rainer maria rilke#friedrich nietzsche#soren kierkegaard#existentialism#philosophy#book clubs#errrrr be my friend please#be my kindred spirit#no use being subtle about it#I think my kindred spirits must go on tumblr#I want the existentialists the melancholics the Christian mystics the free spirited artists#the armchair philosophers the fucked up pretentious intellectuals

Freud was wrong because he spoke as if his findings were fundamental, rather than a consequence of concerted malicious effort to bring about a particular social reality(that we live in).
*1 "Masculinity" is little more than the objectification of the "feminine." In turn, the "feminine" is little more than a reflection of the self as an object.
This is the underlying idea or framework that our dominant social life is built on. It cannot be rehabilitated, we need something new.
Patriarchy splits humanity fundamentally into two groups, the Object and Subject; and visits vicious beatings upon any who challenge these organizational conventions.
First upon the self; artificially enforcing a standard of behavior that must be strived for in order to maintain a base level of social acceptance. Ensuring it is contradictory an unattainable enough that targets of this ruse can always be validly criticized under the assumption that (1) is true; thus internally and across each group, the victims of this scam will rabidly self police.
Then; from each, upon the other. Jealous resentment and possessive hatred from the Subject to Object, for the "adoration" that is inflicted upon the Object. Like a well worn pickaxe resents that their work is merely in service of the pursuit of a ruby. Then monstering and perverse longing from Object to Subject; for the ability to "act" and exist, not as merely the observed, but as an active participant in this social reality. Like the aardvark wishes for a thriving colony for it's next meal, even as it steals past a slumbering lion. Thus ensuring that neither group can find any true solace in the shared yoke they find themselves under, for the perpetual animosity betwixt the two keeps their guns ever trained on the slightest noise in the dark forest we call civil society, and their fingers light on the trigger.
The glamour, the genjutsu, thus reinforces itself through the terrified and vengeful actions of its own victims. Each now so committed to maintaining their perceived slivers of power in this social framework, that they will invent justification after rationalization for why the unspoken conceit of this world is both just and must remain , even as they resent it's consequences in quiet.
Those who cannot find themselves comfortably fit on either side, either by nature or will, find themselves horrifically brutalized by both for daring to challenge the cage they collectively share.
The horror that you and I live through every day, is the consequences of these ideas being viciously and constantly branded onto our world, in a desperate attempt to make the fit appear effortless and malignantly snug. But we do not need them, and we never have.
Young lady and "lady," both; try a pair of boxers. Young man and young "man;" wear the dress.
Become who you are and reject shaming from a world that is killing you over pieces of stressed cotton.

Finishing up the 3 Body Problem and my thoughts here are: this bunch of physicists could have REALLY used ONE (1) humanities specialist in their midst.
#please talk to a sociologist.#a philosopher.#a psychologist.#ANYONE who cares about studying behavior.#how did it take the Santi devotees SO LONG to realize the Santi have no concept of lying#AND SAUL. STOP BEING SO FUCKING OBTUSE.#have u not watched Fight Club!!!#you cant resign NO ONE IS EVER GONNA BELIEVE YOU

On the floor screaming and crying FLORENCE BABY I'LL MISS YOU - LGL
My dearest LGL, congratulations on making it to the end of week one that is the emotional roller coaster of the year 1929. I’m proud of us, babes. Let me just say….
This is about to be me trying to drink and act casual with friends this weekend but actually being in deep mourning for Florence. Gotta wear all black for the occasion, of course.
I got the strangest, most distinct sadness when silly little grim showed up for her, like this whole legacy has actually grown past it’s original roots in the same way you often see families begin to form their own branches when the matriarch/patriarch dies.
#I’m tempted to go to the club so I can actually cry in the club tonight#that’s a lie I would never#loud music and other humans my nemeses#just gunna go outside and pour out my wine for my girl#RIP baby 🥺#Nonny reacts#then a heathen philosophizes#which no one asked for but come on it’s just a consequence of following the blog sorry gang l#gif warning#sad side tangent warning#vague warning of darker days to come warning

I love it when when the gameplay and in-game story intersect to create deepened immersion.
For example, Wallbridge is traumatic for both the characters AND the player :P
#dolphin plays graces again#i am so lost#jokes aside I really do love when games intentionally deepen their themes through fourth wall breaks or gameplay elements#yknow stuff like undertale or doki doki lit club or the stanley parable#I tried to do a research paper on it in undergrad but all I have is 4 annotated articles and 2 annotated bibligiographies#none of the articles were EXACTLY what I was looking for (exploration of player/character/game dynamics especially in choose-your-own games#but there were some pretty cool takes on games through a philosophical lens (eg. what is true in one playthrough may not be true in another#and semantics about player vs character vs avatar#anyway graces doesn't really do this unless you count miserable things like navigating Wallbridge or fighting Emeraude 😅#in which case I am just as unhappy ad the characters 😂

Playing with the Redshift -> PS pipeline.
#been in that anti-academia malaise#55s#and being told to just play the system#pick a philosopher soccer club and write about other peoples writings on them#bro just write what the system wants you keep trying to write you#you can do that later at phd level or a s researcher#but that just reeks of me like that one kaiji scene#my life will start soon says the wagies in every part of his career or job before dying never having lived his life#this rant is bought to not by what the lecturers said but by what the highest scoring kid in the class#they are so effortless tuned along the system#I am deaf to all of it#I understand i am a poor writer#I understand that I probably too weak for this course#I just wanted to be a potato.

someone in the system had the idea of having clubs dedicated to different hobbies and stuff within the system as a good way for some alters with similar interests who haven't interacted much to get to know each other, and a way for everyone to hang out and relax a bit which sounds like a really nice idea.
and then someone else suggested a philosophy club, which is great and sounds really fun but if there's one thing we're good at it's overthinking, and now I'm just imagining the chaos that would unfold with this
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#it would start as ''let's have a philosophical discussion''#and end with people saying unhinged shit while laid down listening to vaporwave and questioning their existence at like 3am#anyway the other clubs we agreed on include an astronomy club and an innerworld gardening club
