thinking about tiktok trends. thinking about poetry.
you see a "maybe in another universe" video.
you recognize this trend.
you know it'll end with a black screen.
you see it's only two slides.
you know what the other slide is.
you stare at the first slide.
you already know it's you.
you don't have to scroll.
you know it won't change anything.
you scroll. it's you.
#tiktok#this trend is so#i can't stop thinking about it.#this specific trend. this is something that is so human#the feeling when you know where a book is going but read it anyway.#but this is unique. it gives you so much autonomy. it gives you the option to not do this so much.#but really would it change anything if you scrolled?#you already know it's you. scrolling won't change anything. but it's almost like it's not true until you see it.#but it is. it's trhe from the moment you scroll onto the video. but you scroll anyway.#the fact you always know it's you but always scroll anyway. that's what gets me.#for ppl who aren't aware of tiktok trends:#so itll be something like “maybe in another universe i'm not taken for granted”. and it's a slideshow.#and so it's all characters who are taken for granted saying “maybe in another universe i won't be taken for granted”#but then people started putting black screens at the end#and in tiktok a black screen is essentially a mirror.#so still running with this example it's implying that you the viewer of the video is taken for granted.#but then people started getting rid of the other characters and so now the trend has evolved#and so now it's just a picture of a character and “maybe in another universe i won't [thing that applies to them]” and then a black screen.
