Passion for men that need to be loved so sweetly, touched so gently, held so close to melt into. I’d like him to know he’s worthy of love and tenderness and I want him to revel in it, bask in the comfort of unconditional unending love

Mmmm pervy men who’s kisses are all consuming, devouring, searing. Who hold your jaw firmly but lovingly, hungry eyes and smiles and those long, slow, wet kisses that leave you wanting so much more. Men so sweet and deliciously slimy you can’t help but quietly ask “kiss me again” when they pull away, pawing at their shirt to pull them back in. Men who can’t help but oblige to your sweet sweet tone and give you everything you want and more .

Heads Will Roll - A RHRN Inspired Short
Tumblr media
*MAJOR RITE HERE RITE NOW SPOILERS AHEAD*
Do not read on if you don’t want to be spoiled. It’s literally the biggest spoiler in the movie, and I am giving you plenty of warning. Seriously. If you read on and get spoiled, don’t come crying to me in my ask box. I am warning you.  
A/N: This is my own continuation of the ending of the movie. An alternate ending, if you will... It includes spoilers from the final scene, arguably one of the biggest spoilers, and continues from there. Yell at me in my ask box if you want, but this was fun to write...
Rating: Mature Word Count: 1.5k
Warnings: Mentions of blood, violence, panic attacks

Tumblr media
The empire is now built.  
And he’s so proud of himself. It’s been a long road, he’s worked hard; even cut down people who got in his way... But he’s here now, and despite the sudden passing of his mother, he can’t help the rising feeling of accomplishment – nay, smugness that sits in his chest.  
Of course, his mother stands beside him now as a spectre, joining his father on the spiritual plane that seemingly only he can see into. He wonders why that is sometimes, but it’s a minor detail and one he’s grateful for. At least this way, his mother hasn’t truly left his side. But he does wish his damned father would.  
“We seem to have remodelled here,” Copia remarks as they stand in the hallway of the Ministry; all those months of touring, he wasn’t aware of the changes. He likes them, more to his taste. It’s as if they were made with his ascension in the ranks in mind. He must thank Saltarian for that later. “Good, good...” 
“Well, I’m not in charge anymore,” Sister Imperator sighs dramatically, a little bitter than she can’t continue her role from beyond the grave. But it is what it is, and she’s sure her son is going to do a good job in her place. 
“No, you are not,” Copia gleefully quips, clicking his shiny new shoes together to assert his power.  
“I hope that this new guy doesn’t disappoint like you did,” his father, Papa Nihil grumbles beside him. Copia’s shoulders sag in annoyance, his eyes rolling as he turns to Nihil. 
“Really?” As if he hasn’t been the most successful Papa to date, selling more records, larger tours and spreading the unholy word further than his predecessors – but most importantly, escaping with his life... “Go necro-charge yourself,” he jabs, his polite way of telling his father to piss off and reminding him that he is in fact dead, and has no authority anymore. 
“Oh shut up!” 
“You shut up,” Copia retorts somewhat childishly, a petty little argument starting.  
“The two of you, just stop it. This is done! Just stop it...” Copia raised his hands in surrender, turning back to the doors in front of them.  
“Old habits; they die hard,” Nihil grumbles.  
“Old guys in habits die harder...” Sister comments, pressing her lips together in a tight line as her brow furrows. Copia looks back to his father guiltily, his gaze turning to the tiled floor in front of him. Yeah, didn’t he know it...  
But he couldn’t allow himself to think about that just now. If there was anything he had learned in recent months, it was to not dwell on the past. No matter how dark, no matter what he had done... And he had done some bad things.  
Images of blood-stained hands flashed through his mind, the noises of anguished screams, the silence that had followed... He couldn’t let that haunt him anymore.  
He shook his head of the thoughts, straightening his new expensive suit jacket. The jewels that hung from it rattled against his chest, and he straightened his back to give an air of importance and authority, ready for what was to come.  
“Oh look, here he comes...” Sister Imperator clasps her hands together, wringing them nervously as she hears the footsteps approaching on the other side of the door. Copia lifts his chin, waiting, trying not to show his own nervousness to see the figure approaching, a shadow on the other side of the stained glass doors. The light filters through, turning the end of the hall red which does nothing to quell the anxiety.  
As the new head of the Clergy, he would have thought somebody would have told him who was to be Papa. Frankly, he thought it would be his decision. But the choice had been made long before Sister’s death, and without her knowledge also. It had Saltarian written all over it. He liked to... mess with people.  
The hall fell silent as the shadow figure stood proudly behind the glass. A mitre already sat atop his head, which now he thought about it, was unusual. There had been no ceremony, nor reveal yet. This guy must have some balls to don the Papal robes so soon.  
The shadow reached for the door handles on their side, the knobs squeaking as they turned agonisingly slowly. Copia had to swallow the lump in his throat, reminding himself to stand tall and proud. He was Frater Imperator now. He was in charge.  
The doors swung open, and there he stood, a sickly smirk on his face.
Copia audibly whimpered, losing his balance and stumbling backwards. The panic set in quickly, his chest heaving with heavy breaths that couldn’t get enough oxygen into his lungs no matter how quickly they tried. He managed to regain his footing quickly at least, eyes wide and jaw dragging along the floor while his head swam.  
Beside him, his mother’s hand slapped to her mouth, somehow making a noise despite her no longer being a physical being. Even Nihil was stunned into silence, his brow furrowed with deep lines of confusion.  
Copia had never been so terrified in all his life. Somehow, he thought his demise would have been a kinder end to his own reign than this.  
The new Papa looked nowhere else but at Copia, his eyes glaring at him as if lasers would shoot from his pupils. That smirk still sat on his face; a face that was painted with crisp black and white.  
As he stepped forward, Copia resisted the urge to run. It was all he wanted to do but when it came down to it, his fight or flight response had withered into the third hidden option; freeze.  
Papa walked slowly, deliberately, his gaze never wavering. Copia couldn’t help but stare straight back but he couldn’t meet his eyes... Not after what he’d done. Even when Papa came to a halt a few feet from him. 
“Buonasera, fratello gemello...(Good evening, twin brother...)” The smugness in his voice reflected how Copia had felt moments before. But now? That had dissipated. Nothing but terror remained. “I look forward to working with you, eh?” 
Copia couldn’t speak. He couldn’t move. He couldn’t even look in his eyes...  
Instead, his stare was focussed on the garish, ugly, deep red scar that ran in a clean line around his neck...  
How could he not have seen this? So many signs he had ignored... Wilfully ignorant to all of this. Perhaps he had been living in denial, brushing any and every small clue aside so his own guilt would not get the better of him, and he could forget what he'd done.  
The scratch marks on the inside of his final resting place, the mortician who swore his foot had twitched in the morgue... It was Saltarian who insisted the movie be called ‘Rite Here, Rite Now’; his song. Even the music video served as foreshadowing, literally enacting his spirit rising from the dead...  
Copia felt like a fool. Had he not been so wilfully blind, maybe he would have seen it. Maybe he could have stopped it.  
But no, now he was staring directly at the result of the most evil deed he had ever committed; murdering his own twin brother. He could only hope he didn’t remember...  
“Terzo, what a... surprise...” Imperator stuttered beside Copia. Clearly, she had also been kept in the dark on this one...  
Terzo finally tore his gaze from Copia, instead smirking down at his mother who had too been instrumental in his untimely end.  
“Buona sera mamma, (Good evening mother,)” he greeted, sickly sweet and filled with patronisation. “You look well,” he joked. You know, because she was dead...
“S-so do you,” she smiled, her lip twitching. Terzo opened his arms to hug her, and with hesitation, she followed suit. 
“Oh, wait...I forgot,” he stopped, lowering his arms and leaning towards her with a shit eating grin on his face, “sei morto ora (you are dead now).” 
He took a step back, clearing his throat and turning back to Copia. “So, here we go again, eh?” 
“I-I suppose...” Copia choked out, still in shock.  
Copia and Terzo had always had a difficult relationship... Terzo was older by mere minutes, and when they had been born, Nihil had given his son the next title in line, only to give the second, smaller, weaker twin a name to match; Copy. Copia had always been treated as the weaker, the lesser of the two by their father. Their mother, however, had pitied Copia from the start and sided with him wherever she could. It had fuelled so much competition, so much resentment that it led to Terzo’s own end...  
To say their relationship was fraught was a severe understatement.  
“You boys... will have to learn to work together,” Sister Imperator warned, watching warily as the tension between the brothers built.  
“Oh, sí, we can work together, can’t we fratellino?” Terzo slapped his brother’s arm in fake encouragement.  
“S-sí, of course...” 
“Molto bene! (Very good!) I promise, best behaviour. Even little Cardi here will learn to work alongside me,” Terzo leaned forward, staring menacingly into Copia’s eyes with the smug smirk from before and getting into his personal space in a display of defiance. 
“Or heads will roll...”

tell me your truth
i HATE JD INT HE FUKN HEATGHERS MUSCIAL IM GOING TO RIP MY HAIR OUT WHY DID THEY MAKE HIM LIKE THAT MEANT TO BE YOURS PISSES ME OFF SOOOOOO BADD ESP CUZ OF HOW THEY TWIST HIS MOTIVATIONS throughout the story they twist him to be more like Loving I suppose, as well as sympathetic and emotional and its INFURIATING because THATS NOT JD. they tone him way down for audience approval and to be palatable and i hat eit. For one how they changed the scene with kurt and ram, where instead of pulling out a gun the two just fight. this makes him seem waaayyy more reasonable cuz they started it and its just a fight, it takes away the shock of him HAVING AND PULLING OUT A GUN even if its just blanks he fires. and then how they made veronica seek him out for sex in dead girl walking, which means including finding and breaking into his home HELLO???? JD IS THE ONE WHO DOES THAT. WHY WOULD THEY CHANGE IT. but we know why its because it would make jd seem way more scary and offputting and they need romance to sell. VERONICA WOULDNT EVEN DO THAT ANYWAY ???
and then ohhh my god meant to be yours pisses me off soooo bad like i said cuz of how they change his motivations. they make it seem like he wants to blow up the school to get veronica back NO??? HE WANTS TO DO IT OUT OF VIOLENT EXTREMISM, TO SEND A MESSAGE, he wouldve done it whether veronica was with him or not!!!!! and so it turns whats a cautionary tale about falling into extremism into just "waaa i want u back im going to blow them up for you" SHUT UPPPP
not to mention how they took out the 2 assault scenes in the musical version like. yeah its just fukn blatant that they cant handle JD as he is in the movie but if so why the fuck r they adapting heathers.
the ending also pisses me off SOOO BAD WHY DID THEY MAKE IT SO HE SAVES THE SCHOOL. in the original he didnt do that because there WAS no saving to do, the bomb was forcefully taken care of by veronica, he commits suicide not out of a noble sacrifice because there wasnt a sacrifice to make. he does it because he succumbs to his nihilism. he says it himself "lets say i blow up all the schools. what then?". but nooo we have to make him do a noble sacrifice to save everyone cuz 😐 idk???? so in the end we have a character meant to be violent unstable and self serving into just Some Guy who made some mistakes but he makes up for it in the end!! he just really loves his girlfriend!!!!! NEVERMIND THAT HE TRIED TO KILL HER IN THE ORIGINAL. in the original he might have loved her but that love might as well not have been there because above that all JD wanted to do was to send a message to everyone and change the world through violent extremism and he was more than fine with discarding Veronica in favour of that
ALSO ONLY SLIGHTLY RELATED irrc they took out the line "you fucked me up pretty bad veronica. you have power, power i didnt know you have" WHICH PISSES ME OFF cuz sooo much about the original movie is about the agency of female characters, especially at the time it was written where female characters often didnt have much agency and storys mostly revolved around love interests, the movie was a subversion of those tropes and that line is the perfect conclusion to that message they just. discarded that. Okay. I HATE IT oh my god oh my god

Okay sat, I might’ve forgotten to my anon mark at the end of my last message aand I’ve reread part 4 like 5 times, but still, 
what the fuck, literally was thinking abt it in all my classes. And I will be yapping, as I guessed.
First of all, fuck Kafka really wish I was tbh she is so annoying, like just assuming r isn’t that upset, like they’re just having a little argument when r is grappling w the fact that they fell for a criminal, and literally killed their coworkers and a ton of other people, she is pissing me off. Also the stuff abt Kafka and her nihilism…giving me some thoughts. Btw have himeko and Kafka encountered each other in this, or has Himeko just heard abt her? And shes so nice, calling r everyday and being so understanding…
I can’t imagine what Kafka did when she found out she got blocked. Her going to text u and then realizing she’s blocked…kafka pausing when she sees that r blocked her. Kafka waiting to get unblocked as she orders gifts for u, who keeps checking her phone for messages from u as she sends more gifts, reminiscing abt when your first met in the store, silver wolf and blade noticing how Kafka seems to be waiting for smth, Kafka who decides to text you on an encrypted number to see how you’re doing, Kafka who sees that she isn’t forgiven and orders so many fucking flowers bc she didn’t know ur favorite. Ugh I can imagine her bringing all of them into r’s house, god she’s pathetic, I need to kiss her so bad so she shuts the fuck up.
anyway I may or may not have started writing a Kafka fic 👀 tbh I don’t rlly read romance novels so idk how the typical academic rivals thing usually works, trope wise. For some reason I keep fixating on her fucking nails. Like to me, she has them manicured all fancy, but Im fairly certain shorter not manicured nails are better for fingering. On her violin ofc, obviously. I played cello middle and high school, and I kept them long, bc I liked scratching people don’t ask I was a strange kid, but I feel like she’d keep them short bc she’s rlly serious abt it. Also Kafka is so dislikable, her ego is so big, and she’s always calm, like if she didn’t look like she was trying and still top of the class it’d piss me off too 😭
Also in the wardence event rn, I haven’t played it bc I’ve been sleeping or smth like that, but silver wolf shows up 😭 like ik it makes the most sense, since she has holograms but Kafka showed up as a hologram once ok 😭 but what silver said is like “i heard u we’re joining the wardence, and two whose names I won’t mention insisted I go check on you. Why couldn’t they do it themselves.” Ugh Kafka is so obvious it’s actually gonna kill me. And yes wtf couldn’t Kafka have showed up, she’s worth like 11 billion, so ik she can’t show up all the but cmon. 
-🌠
hehfjfjgjfjfj posting a new chapter and having ppl go “man fuck kafka” is funny as hell because honestly, yeah, fuck her😭 i think it was important for me to portray how her personality can be irritating in certain contexts and how being with her really wouldn’t be bliss all the time cause she doesn’t deal with emotions much, and that includes others’. she’s not totally detached from them which is why she does try but it’s very clumsy. it’ll be elaborated on in the next part but in her mind she really has picked the best outcome here and even if she was acting in her own interest, she was protecting R, she’s just an information hoarder. being on the opposite side means you dont know wtf is going on in her head and cant explain her behavior as anything else but “she doesn’t give a shit about me”. it’s an interesting situation to write that’s for sure but im glad that her efforts, though genuine, make yall feel irritated bc thats the point hehe
what i wrote about kafka’s nihilism was not entirely true, and i did it on purpose because R doesn’t know her. i do think that nihilism/finality creates a certain distance between her and accountability. when you tell yourself that this outcome was always a possibility, that it could have happened anyway, the choice you make is no longer fully yours which means that the consequences aren’t fully on your shoulders as well. i think that makes it easier for the stellaron hunters to do what they do, that and the goal they’re working towards that is supposedly the best outcome for humanity. but kafka is anything but passive. she is not “subjected” to things, she has an active role in her future and the ones of the millions of people that it touches within the constraints of destiny. i think with nihilism it’s easy to fall into a state of learned helplessness, where you suffer through the things happening to you because “nothing matters” and “it was going to happen anyway”, but kafka is not like that at all. “if destiny doesn’t propel me forward, i’ll be the one to push destiny”— this is what she does, so describing her as a drop in the ocean isnt entirely accurate because she’s making waves. R will learn that
himeko and kafka have crossed paths canonically before the trailblazer so it’s the same in this. i like that himeko has an opinion of kafka that has been cemented through their brief meetings over the time. in that one “keeping up with star rail” where kafka’s kit is presented, hime has a lot of shit to say about her 😭 all bad. she’s also aware that kafka plays mind games in it so really for her to hear “kafka manipulated me” was like “fork found in kitchen” there’s no surprise there. one of my favorite qualities in hime is her understanding and ability to understand multiple perspectives at once, it develops her already deep empathy and its just very admirable. shes a very soft character, i love her
AND YESSSSS SHE DEFINITELY REACTED LIKE THAT TO BEING BLOCKED HDJFJFKKG she stared at her phone like “oh. they’re really mad” and decided to give them a few days to cool off which is why she sent the first gift and after that she’d be wondering whether to text you or not for like a week; would open her phone, type in your number, pause for ten seconds then go “they’re probably still upset” and send another gift. silver wolf would be like “damn youre on your phone as often as i am. whats wrong with you” and firefly’s eventually the one telling her to go there herself to apologize and not wtv tf shes doing which is why kafka finally texts 😭 shes funny asf. the sheer ridiculousness of ordering hundreds of flowers and taking over half an hour to place them inside your apartment (that she technically broke into) to surprise you is so patheticcccc i would have swooned a bit im sorry. like omg youre pathetic get out of my house but also kiss me before you go… “forget it i’ll just get all of them” can she die 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
aaaaa im glad you have time to write the academic rivals au!! typically people have the rivals work together in some sort of assigned group project to force them to interact together but you can go about it differently, like one of them’s practicing for a big piece and the other gets to the practice room too late but but the others are taken and they have to practice the same thing anyway so might as well. or the mc is struggling and kafka happens to pass by and give her some (snarky) pointers which turns into her showing her how its done and the mc actually learning from her (which would make me homicidal). they could also just happen to meet outside of the school context and start developing a new relationship that way. do what feels right!! and yeah, kafka’s nonchalance makes it seem like shes effortlessly good when in reality she takes that shit seriously and practices often😭 it’d still piss me off tho idc
silver wolf showed up in the other event and its just so ridiculous how they always have her everywhere man😭 like fine she’s always keeping up with new games coming out and shit but would it kill them to show kafka once im gonna tear my hair out, we even got to text firefly during the wardance like im gonna screammmm. but kafka and her sending SW to check ip on the tb is so stupid they care so bad😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 typical of kafka not to show or text herself i need to strangle her. the lufou hates her tho so it’s WHATEVER.

r/industrialmusic’s “essential albums” list (user nominated and voted)
Tumblr media
Thought this was fun/interesting. Right now the sub is doing a “volume 2,” but it’s fun to see the results for what the sub considers essential listening.
Skinny Puppy — Too Dark Park (1990) (1st place!)
Throbbing Gristle — 20 Jazz Funk Greats (1979)
Einstürzende Neubauten — Halber Mensch (1985)
Coil — Horse Rotorvator (1986)
Ministry — The Land of Rape and Honey (1988)
Nine Inch Nails — The Downward Spiral (1994)
Front Line Assembly — Tactical Neural Implant (1992)
Front 242 — Front by Front (1988)
KMFDM — Nihil (1995)
And for what it’s worth, a few frequent “runner ups” I saw (that I imagine will be popping up in volume 2):
Cabaret Voltaire — Red Mecca (1981) (this was NECK AND NECK with KMFDM in the last round up to the very end)
My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult — Confessions of a Knife… (1990)
Godflesh — Streetcleaner (1989)
Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel — Nail (1985)
Nitzer Ebb — That Total Age (1987)
SPK — Leichenschrei (1982)
Obviously this list is far from remotely complete, but I thought the results were really cool. It’s fun to see what an industrial community came together to determine “essential” within the scene, and while it’s not a perfect list nor necessarily exactly what I’d have said myself I do think it’s a pretty successful list of albums I’d more or less call required listening if you’re getting into the genre. Neat!

Poster for the unproduced 1984 live-action horror adaptation GARFIELD: FIRST BLOOD.
Following the success of CUJO in 1983, studios were scrambling to find the next hit “killer pet” flick. Notorious grindhouse auteur Ron Sharleton, seeking a big-budget movie deal to fund his struggling production of CANNIBAL QUARTERBACK 2, set his sights on the most unlikely of properties: Jim Davis’ beloved comic strip Garfield. Sharleton, a self-proclaimed fan of Garfield who called the strip “a subversive celebration of misanthropy,” believed an “alternative, adult” spin on the character could thrive in tandem with its kid-friendly cartoons. Describing his rationale in an interview later, Sharleton said: “You have all of these R-rated films that come out and become big hits and the studios want to suck every penny out of one idea, so they sanitize it and repackage it as a cartoon for kids. So I said, why can’t we do the reverse?”
GARFIELD: FIRST BLOOD was pitched as a dark, gritty reimagining in which the titular cat, pushed to the brink on a particularly bad Monday, finally snaps and kills Jon’s dimwitted dog Odie. As he tastes Odie’s blood, Garfield is overcome by how good it felt to put a permanent end to something that annoyed him. He then realizes that everything and everyone annoy him, and his murderous rampage begins.
Describing his take on the character, Sharleton said: “Garfield never really sat right with me as a children’s character. He’s so much darker, more complex. You have this cat who is filled with contempt; he looks at the world around him with radical skepticism and scowls at the prison of tedium mankind calls ‘society,’ and he responds with this very self-indulgent nihilism: Be lazy, be a glutton, don’t participate in anything because it’s all bullshit. Garfield looks at Jon waking up early on a Monday and putting on his tie to go to a job he hates, and he sees a pathetic fool. It’s all such a powerful rejection of the Reagan Wall Street capitalist disease that has poisoned the 80s. ‘Work hard, climb the ladder, buy a boat!’ Garfield says fuck that, stay home, eat lasagna, accept no master. But living as an iconoclast in a conformist world has filled him with all this tension. There’s anger in there, you know? So I wanted to examine what would happen if Garfield was finally pushed over the edge. Where’s the line between a passive nihilist and a violent anarchist?”
Warner Bros execs were intrigued by Sharleton’s pitch (and the lucrative cash cow of the Garfield brand) and funded a short “proof-of-concept” trailer, directed by Sharleton, to convince Garfield creator Jim Davis of the idea. The trailer reportedly went “all-in” on Sharleton’s signature “splattercore” horror, including a scene where Garfield grinds up Liz Wilson alive in a meat grinder and bakes her flesh into a lasagna he then serves to Jon. The presentation to Davis was described as “one of the most disastrously miscalculated meetings in modern Hollywood,” with Davis stopping the trailer midway to ask the room “are you people completely fucking insane?” before storming out.
Reflecting on the meeting years later, an anonymous former Warner exec said “we knew it was a long shot, but we really felt like the only way to sell the concept was to push it as far as possible. In retrospect I think yeah, we did let it go too far. We were so absorbed in it that we didn’t realize how jarring it would be for a guy like Jim Davis to just be thrown into this cold. I think it was a mistake to open with the Nermal blender scene, but we wanted shock, and we thought… I don’t know, everyone was doing a LOT of cocaine back then. Well, everyone except Jim Davis."

Eurovision 2024: #36
36. FINLAND Windows95Man - "No Rules!" 19th place
youtube
Decade ranking: 143/153 [Above Nadir, below Let3]
Okay so, I promised in Saturday's post that I would try to be positive, but I may already have to rescind on that promise lol. (the "lol" is for punctuation because I definitely did not laugh.) "No rules!" stinks and has very few redeeming qualities. 🙂 Natalia was right, she WAS robbed by a Nudist Demon!
For real, does anyone over the age of twenty-five enjoy this dumpster fire? If so, fukk meee. LOVE YOURSELVES.
As I noted in my UMK review back in Feb:
I have difficulty buying into this hyperactive ball of bad taste. “Fuck The System” always feels like the go-to message of individuals that fail to fit into social structures that aren’t fully of their own shaping. For an entry that’s all “live as you like, there’s no rules!” in its messaging, these two look like they conform to just about every styling and behavioural rule associated with Zoomer culture: A total disregard for general aesthetics over a dumbed-down drone of a beat because everything is ironic and nothing is to be taken seriously.  It is a depressing take on life. Yeah sure, a bit of camp levity is welcome in this loathesome world, but any happy song that weaponizes irony like this one trends towards encouraging irresponsibility, cynicism and nihilism. Some things DO matter in life, you know? You need to afford your bills and groceries, charge your social batteries, cultivate your friendships, or else you’ll wind up living alone in a van, down by the river. But if the latter life appeals to you, then this is the entry for you, I guess. For me though; this contest is already has one Joost Klein. Let’s not add a second one from Finland.
Funny how I nailed that even before knowing the full extent of it. I ofc vastly underestimated how bad the live would be, and as soon as I'd seen it my scepsis immediately supernova'd into intense HATRED. If ONLY "Paskana" hadn't been weak as piss. Yes, the cringe in "No Rules!" is deliberate, obviously, I have a sense of humour. Having a sense of humour is why I hate it? How much "deliberated cringe" can one tolerate before concluding "nope, this is r o t t e n." Does it start with
Tumblr media
THE BAD GUNTER IMPRESSION?
or
Tumblr media
THE DONALD DUCKING?
or
Tumblr media
CALLING HIMSELF" A QUEEN"?
or
Tumblr media
screaming "SEE ME SLAYYYY" :proceeds to not slay: ?
It definitely ends in whatever this shot is supposed to be.
Tumblr media
Humour is subjective sure enough, and Windowsninetycringeman's jokes fall flatter than a pancake á moi. Why is everything denim? Why is this THIRTY-NINE YEAR OLD MAN still engaging in toilet humour and internet speak? Grow the f up? The art lies in the execution and Finland showed neither. I do NOT like Europapa much, but having Finland and not Netherlands in the final vibes wrong on so many levels. Europapa at least had a clear plan and delivered its nonsense in contained, piecemeal doses? It was COMPETENT in what it attempted to be (A Televote Winner), not a lazy amalgation of simple-minded drunk jokes strung together over a Planet of The Bass megamix as some sort of a Hail Mary. Joost and Teemu represent the Expectations/Reality divide of Zoomer Nonsense and it was darksided that only the latter got to compete for points. But on top of that, Teemu was generally just full of shit? Hooray, an Old Millennial engaging in Zoomer Cringe who lets an actual zoomer do all the vocal heavy lifting, without giving him a single featuring credit. Yay! It's a painfully accurate depiction of what being a zoomer is like, but not an intentional one.
Also remember when Teemu said he would "try to discreetly approach the other contestants to find ways to show support for Palestine" (remember that this contest was supposed to be 'not political'?) Hm yes discreet. So discreet he declared his intentions to interviewers so that everyone would know it was HIS idea. "Discreet", human please. And the result of all that talk was...
Tumblr media
(lol I'm SO making it sound like I care about what political standpoints any of these acts took, and I don't. But I do call out a fraud when I spot one.)
Yeah well thanks for trying, but I'd rather you hadn't. A statement you can apply to my feelings of the entry overall. Okay, we've reached full circle, time to move on to our designated palate cleanser because THIS page is a safe zone for people of good taste.
youtube
The universe where YLE overrules the results and sends THEM to ESC is the one where we head to Helsinki twice in a row.

give me 10 random r&m thoughts, first things that come into your head, rn. i’m mid-s3, on e9
I never thought I'd like Rick because he was the dudebro mascot for years, and he ended up being one of my favorite characters. I was one of those people who (wrongly) assumed that the show is bad just because parts of the fandom are nuts.
I think that season three is the best season, but it's not a personal favorite because it gets a little too dark.
When Dan Harmon was designing Rick, I bet that he never imagined that so many people would be attracted to him, lol. Shouldn't have made him so tall!
It's fascinating to me how the Rick and Morty fandom is huge, but there's only about 6,000 fics on AO3 and it's rare for a fic to get more than 10,000 views. Meanwhile, fics in other fandoms like Hannibal easily break 600,000. I guess some fandoms just don't attract fanfic writers like others do.
I don't consider anything outside the series to be canon and don't read the comics because of it. This isn't just for Rick and Morty--I'm like that with every fandom.
If season one came out today, I think that Rick and Morty would still blow up because science and tech bro culture is bigger than ever. I still see Twitter bros with Rick icons and C-137 in their handles.
Nobody has to like Rick and Morty, but my fellow Adult Swim fans need to stop yelling that it should be canceled. Rick and Morty is probably PAYING for a lot of these series that they enjoy. Adult Swim canceling Rick and Morty doesn't mean that Smiling Friends gets ten seasons and a movie, it means that Smiling Friends goes bye-bye. 👋
People who call Mr. Meeseeks and the butter robot (or the show in general) "cartoon nihilism" have no clue what they're talking about. First off, they're talking about existential nihilism, not just nihilism, and second, life isn't meaningless for Mr. Meeseeks or the butter robot. They're created for a specific purpose, and they fulfill it. That's the opposite of existential nihilism. Admittedly, I think the writers were aiming for nihilism and didn't really understand it, either.
Rick isn't a sociopath and Morty isn't dumb, and I wish the marketing would stop selling them that way. I never understood where "Morty is dumb" comes from because he keeps up with Rick pretty well.
Rick and Morty is the only fandom where I've made OCs. Normally, I don't care for OCs/crossovers/AUs because I'm attached to canon, so--why would I read about an OC hanging out at a coffee shop or whatever? But Rick and Morty is a little different because an infinite number of Ricks, Mortys and other characters exist in the show. For me, Rick having a sister would be a true OC.

How followers of each of the main 7 Aeons would react to you telling them you're trans:
Preservation: is supportive because it means they'll make more money from your transition
Remembrance: changes everyone's memories that they remember you as your new gender and name
Nihility: adds you to the support group
Abundance: We've been trying to contact you about your body's ending warranty- (or are just terfs)
The Hunt: is mad at you if you want to go on estrogen/wear breast forms/binder since it will make you slower, but loves transmascs who want to take T and get top surgery
The Destruction: W E A P O N I Z E D D Y S P H O R I A
The Elation: YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

God I love pervy boys so much. Their lascivious words falling from drooling tongues. Indecent compliments and warm wandering hands. Such hungry gazes at any sight of your skin or too tight clothes. Unabashed moans and groans as you give them all they want. Those kisses that seem to devour that seem to swallow a part of you. So delicious so wonderful so endlessly tasty to me <3

Another difference between tumblr and reddit is definitely doomerism culture.
On Tumblr, accounts will pop up in the notes to say shit like "the world is going to end anyways", "we can't do anything", yadda yadda. There's a constant stream of apocalyptic rhetoric across the entire site, as tumblr doomers try to sap as many conversations as possible.
Meanwhile on reddit, you wouldn't get that sort of proselytism. Maybe it's because of the forum-esque system that reddit uses, maybe it's because you can actually argue in a way that matters, but reddit doomers mostly retreat to their own subreddits.
For my non-reddit followers, you've never heard of r/collapse. Don't! It's one of the worst places on the internet. It's a cultural meld of Q-Anon cultists with a for-profit suicide forum, all coated in a wet coat of "leftism" or "climate realism". It's a subreddit whose main export is SH-adjacent "I'm better than you for feeling worse" rhetoric. Facts and progress don't matter, because at the end of it all, the world ends.
It has 500,000 members. It's not a small subreddit by any metric. And they all stay there.
If you've reblogged a post on Tumblr with the caption "climate change will get us regardless", you need to understand that you are in a pipeline that leads to communities like this. The only motivation is to hit the bottom first, and your nihilism is exploitable for attention.
Progress has been made and will continue to be made. Remember, problems like CFCs and acid rain have been effectively solved--not by capitalism, but by effective targeted regulation. That ocean temperature graph you're all obsessed with right now? That's a direct result of new UN policy banning many harmful emissions from cruise ships, which has let more sunlight hit the ocean.
Tumblr doomers are wrong. I want you to fully understand that you are wrong. And if you want to keep being wrong, I want you to understand the sort of community that will accept you.

shuumatsu train ep 3 probably my favourite of em so far, im a real sucker for anti-nihilism in my end of the world shows.
for the set up of this show in paticular its real interesting and i hope they dive into it more, considering all cast does have a pretty hard stopping point where they r just screwed n all. unless they manage to undo everythin? they might, id b fine w/ that dependin how its done
but assuming tehy were setting up akira growing a tail at the end of last ep i think the show will touch on it. lookin forward to it, ill b stickin with shuumatsu train i think!

Tumblr media Tumblr media
“As a result people and galaxies and Asura and sea urchins
Will think up new ontological proofs as they see them
Consuming their cosmic dust ....and breathing in salt water and air
In the end all of these make up a landscape of the heart
I assure you, however, that the scenes recorded here
Are scenes recorded solely in their natural state
And if it is nihil then it is nothing but nihil
And that the totality is common in degree to all of us”

I put together the top one and edited his tattoos on these screenshots.
It's a real shame that the text wasn't added in the animation. Not like we could read it... and I also know that it's extremely difficult to animate such intricate details. (I mean it even changes in the manga from panel to panel...) I just think it adds so much to the character, and something to think about.
(...or maybe it's just me who spends too much time analysing him...)
I found the tattoo's text in a reddit post and then checked a couple of translations of the original poem.
My source: https://www.reddit.com/r/TokyoRevengers/comments/nj20mf/does_anyone_know_what_taiju_shibas_tattoo_reads/
The full poem and the translation used in his design can be found here: https://sites.google.com/a/tudza.com/tudzasplace/kenji-miyazawa-poems/introduction-to-spring-and-ashura?pli=1
