#thEY DIDN'T DESERVE ANY OF THIS!!!

[inkskinned]

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

Is this fucking play about us? And by us, I mean all the submissive tumblr sluts. Her desires are so relatable. From Euphoria S2.E7 (slightly edited because I didn't like how they visually interrupted this scene in the show)

Basically, my philosophy around disability fakers is: I would rather a thousand people fake a disability than have one disabled person suffer without care, aids, compassion, or any help.

Just wanna gently remind folks that Curly losing his autonomy and the ability to actually do something about Jimmy's behavior while being forced to watch everything is irony, not a punishment. His disability is not a punishment. It's situational irony due to the fact that he refused to act and turned a blind eye. Now he cannot act even though he wants to, he cannot look away anymore, and he experienced the loss of autonomy like Anya did to some degree. That's irony. Like in literary terms it's literally situational irony. However, it is not a punishment to be disabled like he was. It is not a punishment to experience medical/physical abuse at the hands of his so called "friend".

Just realised in the chapter where Cale and Og Cale met, while telling Cale about the future of TBOAH timeline, Og Cale calls Alberu 'the crown prince'.

Crown prince Alberu rallied together the survivors

And this happens towards the end of his life as Cale Henituse, the final battle he participated in against the White Star. Meaning, in the twenty years since the war, even after the death of King Zed, Alberu never claimed the throne for himself.

I think then too he wanted to ascend the throne after having taken care of the White Star. It wouldn't have felt right for him to ascend the throne in the middle of a war. But he didn't know the war would be this long and destructive. Poor Alberu.
