people in my family are still always trying to convince me to get a job because "i need the money" despite the fact that i very factually don't need the money right now and despite the fact that IM DISABLED AND HAVE ALREADY PROVEN TO THE GOVERNMENT THAT I AM UNFIT TO WORK Like what are we doing here..... its no stress in my life i can comfortably afford everything i need and i have savings. if i was out there working eight hour days five days a week i would be miserable, in pain, BAD AT DOING THE JOB and overall having a worse life experience being abused by my boss and coworkers (putting aside that nobody would even hire me and i would be fired almost immediately if they did)
it's like capitalism rots peoples brains and they're not But you're not contributing anything to society.... LIKE HELL YEAH IM NOT. proudest thing ive ever done. Worthless piece of shit sitting on a log
like they want to make themselves feel better about me not being "actually disabled enough to not be working" (which i am) or that there's nothing wrong with me. or just that im not normal enough for them. like if im not worried about it then why are you??
if i was making the Exact same amount of money that i am right now but was working a part time job nobody would be saying anything. so it isn't really about the money is it
#society. or whatever#maybe someday i will get a job and go to university or somethibg. but maybe not#either way that is not their fucking problem and right now i honestly have bigger things to worry about#txt

The second you start talking about some mysterious "they" that are controlling society in some fashion, you are engaging in dangerous conspiratorial thinking even if you're being woke about it. "They" did not institute the 40 hour work week specifically so you would be too tired to revolt. "They" did not invent the sleek minimalist aesthetic in order to crush the spirit of art in the common people. "They" are not pushing mediocre media into the mainstream in order to poison people's critical thinking skills.
Your best case scenario after that is you talk to someone who actually knows what the fuck they're talking about and you get embarrassed because you can't answer basic questions about your own ideology because you never learned anything past "the ruling class/capitalists/politicians are making things bad and if we got rid of them the bad things would all go away!"
Your worst case scenario is obviously the woo-to-fascist pipeline and you end up believing Jews are poisoning American food supplies with GMOs in order to turn us all into beta cucks, so like . . . maybe just stop blaming "them" before you fall down that route.
Obligatory round of disclaimers: Yes, sometimes people do bad things. Be specific about exactly who is doing what instead of ascribing it to some vague group of shadowy elites. Yes, sometimes things in society are bad. Learn to identify the root causes of complex social issues instead of assuming that they're actually extremely simple to fix and we're just not doing it because of some vague group of shadowy elites. Yes, minimalism isn't for everyone. Learn that some people don't share your tastes and get the fuck over it for the love of god.
#surprise! this was actually just my way of complaining that that 'classical tutor' post is going around again#complaining about the degeneracy of modern society because our cars aren't colorful enough or whatever#what if i told you that sometimes societal tastes and customs change naturally over time#and not because of targeted interference from vague groups of shadowy elites#anyway! be specific in your words and actually work to understand the underlying causes of things#and above all else understand that sometimes people just like things that you don't like#and that's not a conspiracy. it's not even hard to understand. like come on people#skepticism umbrella

It just sucks so bad. 21, the age at which i realized i was trans, isnt at all "too late" to realize, but it sucks so bad what our society, what the institution of transphobia, gets away with. The lie it forced on me for so long. I feel like i had so many moments when i could have easily realized i was trans as far back as about five years old when i saw something on the news about a trans girl and at the same time i was having thoughts like "What if reincarnation was real but you had to be a boy every time and could never be born as a girl?? Wouldnt that suuuuuck???", but they want you to think it could never be you. And it worked on me!!! Between my family and our society, i was conditioned to think that while it was totally Okay for somebody to be trans, it could Never be me, and i shouldnt even think about it unless i was 100% sure since birth- which, on some level, i believe i even was! But what they Want you to believe is that all trans people know without a doubt that theyre trans from birth, a lie which suppresses so many transgender people out of ever being happy. When i was in my teens i even had two friends who came out as transfem, and i was really happy for them, but even more, i was jealous. I wished i could be trans so that i could be as happy as they were! I wished i could experience that! But it just never clicked for me that i could easily have that just as easily as them. It was all about overcoming this feeling that society instills in you, that it could never be you. And the fact that even well meaning people perpetuate these sentiments is appalling. When my dad was accepting of me but also made sure to ask me How Sure I Was, he was himself a microcosm of what society worries itself with foremost- Are You Sure You're Trans? Have you wrung out every other possibility? Are you sure youll make it? They busy you with doubts and fears, because ultimately they of course want to dupe you out of it. They express possibly genuine and well meaning concern for your wellbeing and happiness without letting you make up your own mind. Railroading you into the mindset that if it was You, you would have realized long ago.
#idk its late im not sure if im saying anything that means anything. society is transphobic whatever. but i just wanted to do a little vent#trans talk

#neilperryedit#dpsedit#deadpoetssocietyedit#neil perry#dps#dead poets society#tuserkaren#mialook#useraish#dailyflicks#neil perry makes me sob every goddamn time#especially when he says i'm trapped with this laugh but then it fades and his smile drops and your heart just breaks#bc look how excited he was to act in the beginning#he's got a dream and he's so determined to go after it#but the reality of the situation is he's trapped#and then at the end with his i was good i was really good#bc he was ! he puts his whole heart out there#and his father just stomped on it because he doesn't see neil for who he really is and forces him to conform to whatever he wants for neil#and just ahhhhh#i don't know even know how to it put into words#it's the transition from future to present to past#*mine#*mygifs

kinda thinking about neil's gunshot and how we don't hear it. totally silent. it reminds of the "if a tree falls in the woods" question. neil dying alone in the middle of his father's study.
and it's such a loud weapon, too, which makes it seem all the more intentional that it was cut out. in his last moments he went out with a bang, but nearly no one hears it.
even before the night of the play: his friends and keating independently told him to just talk, and perhaps he'll get what he wants — but he knows that's impossible. no one else truly understood. they didn't really hear him.
just like rebelling against his father to be in the play: did it matter if he was found out anyway? he knew when he was caught that it was over no matter what. does his death mean anything if the only one to hear the shot was the very same man who controlled every aspect of his life?
if neil falls and no one is around to hear the gunshot, did he contribute a verse?
#does this make any sense#like yeah. the answer is yes. he contributed a verse. but he doesnt know that#i guess. WHATEVE#dead poets society#dead poets fandom#dps#dps fandom#neil perry

when nimona first shapeshifted in front of gloreth, gloreth was a little freaked out, but more just shocked, and then they went on being friends. it was only once gloreth’s parents told her that nimona is a horrible monster that she finally turned on her. this movie isn’t subtle in the least with its themes, but i like this part of the movie because it really shows just how imaginary and baseless (for lack of a better way to phrase this) the fear of monsters (i.e. trans people) in society is. children, like gloreth, when left alone without any societal influences, will be faced with this Other, Different thing and accept it, just go with it. befriend them.
#bluebird.txt#nimona#it’s like all those stories you hear where people are like ‘i told my niece im gay and she asked why im still single’ or something like tha#kids don’t care! kids left to their own devices really don’t care!#anyways we live in a society whatever whatever#i love this movie#this is brought to you by me living in Stupid Bigoted People Land and i’m tired of it

Just came up with the concept that elves have a larval growth cycle and their larval stage is a goblin.
Then I came up with the better concept that goblins have a larval growth cycle and their larval stage is an elf.
#Look goblins and elves are exactly the same fantasy creature#it's just a matter of whether you're being mean about them or not#“I live in the moment while taking only what I need from nature and sit above the mundane trivialities of your fleeting society”#“I do whatever the hell i want I'm gonna eat a beetle fuck the police”#see?#same creature

i do not remember the plot of scum villain because i read it in 2020 and it feels like a fever dream now so my characterization is entirely based off of the fanon on my dash.
hualian are my favorite but i do feel that bingqiu deserve the win. tgcf is VERY yuri, but svsss has gender as a main theme and both characters keep getting compared to maidens. overall there are more explicit references to women regarding bingqiu.
#this is the first time ive ever scumposted yayyy#theyre also more toxic and weird and reserved about each other. in a good way.#to anybody else hualian is insane but compared to bingqiu its an honest and straightforward relationship#both have complex facades built off of society and trope expectations but hualian drop theirs immediately#and to this day sqq and lbh are still fighting tooth and nail#in my experience yuri can be. a horrible spiderweb of expectations and assumptions and not wanting to make assumptions#hualian have the plausible deniability right up until the end (their romance is literally SO lesbian coded) but . after like 15 minutes#they can tell when the other person is lying#and honesty is less yuri than whatever bingqiu is going through at all times#tgcf#svsss#my art#i guess lmao#art#hualian#bingqiu#guy yuri poll#mspaint#ms paint#cringetober 2023#cringetober#lmao

More doodles for the one piece spy x family crossover
#one piece#spy x family crossover#revolutionary sabo#portgas d ace#monkey d luffy#still debating on a spy codename for Sabo. since WISE seems to enjoy times of day I want it to have something to do with dawn or dusk#but that might be a bit on the nose#sabo’s walking stick is like his replacement for his pipe. blunt bludgeoning weapon that he can carry around in broad daylight#ace as an assassin decides his disguise is just going to be. being shirtless#plus those silly sunglasses but the main thing is the shirtless mess#because if he can’t be shirtless during the day in society then he might as well be shirtless when he’s out being a badass#the three of them are dumbasses (affectionate)#the only reason luffy looks as put together as he does is because sabo helped him pick the outfit and it’s extremely comfortable#mostly to help luffy get jobs. luffy does whatever job he feels like doing every day!#some days he’s a waiter some days he’s a gardener some days he’s a cashier#when Lois eventually gets over his paranoia over luffy popping up everywhere and finds out luffy is sabo’s brother he starts#paying luffy to babysit Anya. which of course means sabo is babysitting the both of them because trusting luffy to watch a child is maybe#not the best idea.
