oh the ea app is down? it's almost like games shouldn't require a launcher or the internet to play
#this obsession with connecting to the internet#and multi player#it needs to end like i am BEGGING for it to end#i should be able to fckng click on the little desktop icon#and my game should start without a million other things going at once#(i may still be in A Mood from yesterday)

#the 'all OSINT is astroturfed disinfo' take is outright conspiratorial nonsense#you do not need special training to comb over combat footage#and notice how certain weapon systems function for instance#just an internet connection an obsessive personality and a strong stomach

I'll say it as many times as it needs to be said. There is absolutely miniscule actual harm that comes from engaging with Harry Potter in 2024. JK Rowling does not need money. Anything sent her way is less than a rounding error. And the book series was literally EVERYWHERE in the 90s and 2000s. Like it or not, it DID impact a whole generation of people - pretending that never happened is completely absurd, if not outright irresponsible. It happened. It's just a fact. Harry Potter is mainstream. There is nothing that can be done to 'promote' it. It's already there.
What all this obsession with HP on tumblr is about? An easy way to smugly define Good People from Bad People. Because if you *really* cared about trans people enough, you'd hate everything associated with Harry Potter. Regardless of how much you adored it when you were 8 and went to Harry Potter parties with your family all dressed up quoting book lines at one another in your most precious childhood memories because for once your special interest actually aligned with the people closest to you. No, all those positive associations should have been deleted instantly. If you *cared enough*, it would just *happen*.
Which is why a whole slew of people who previously had earnestly reblogged posts about Moral OCD and how bad tumblr can be about it were suddenly cackling about how buying Hogwarts Legacy was comparable to *refusing to throw The One Ring into Mordor, starting a war that would kill millions.* And how donating to a pro-trans charity (an act that would have VASTLY more impact than aforementioned rounding error) is comparable to 'donating to a pro-elf charity' in the wake of that.
Because tumblr doesn't actually give a shit about autistics or OCD sufferers. When we complain about stuff that they also dislike, they proudly reblog that and rage in the notes about how selfish and cruel and Individualist those other people on tumblr are!!! But the *second* they get to paint themselves as the ones with '''''good thoughts and feelings'''''' they take it, and make up posts about how HP likers 'believe they're the main character and everything should revolve around them.'
Is it actually about whether something causes harm? Or is it about dividing the world into Inherently Good People and Inherently Bad People? Is it actually about doing real good for the community and making the world a better place? Or is it about shaming people with the Wrong Emotions until they fucking hate themselves and spend hours upon hours ruminating on end trying to change themselves because their inability to let go of positive Harry Potter feelings is OBVIOUSLY evidence of a truly inescapably evil and cruel and wretched identity that the world would be better off without?
Which is it, actually? When it actually feels a little bit good to feel like you're on the Right Side of all of this, for once?
#cant fucking believe im doing this to myself on the day before his birthday#im gonna have to stay up til 12:30 tonight#if im STILL obsessing over this shit then Im gonna start demanding recompense#dont donate to ocd charities (do they even exist lmfao) just give $20 to someone w ocd every time you make a Stern Post abt hp '''promoters#..#hp for ts#god no fucking offence but this all is the ACTUALLY terminally online bullshit#do you know the library I work at has Harry Potter posters/displays etc. up???#stocks plenty of 'wizarding world crochet' books and the like???#99.999% of the world barely knows what jkr is doing#and the rest just think 'wow she's awful' (or whatever else) and dont connect that to hp at all#its only on certain internet spaces that this 'engage with HP = immediate and inescapable corruption by the devil' mentality exists#hell even the idea that anyone with something HP related is trying to signal terfism or whatever#i dont doubt that some ppl TRY that but. it doesnt work lmfao.#not once has my aunt thought 'oh I better remove my Hermione keychain or someone will think I hate trans people'#that is literally terminally online brainrot!!! real people do not think that way!!!!!!!!!!!!

the bar for "revolutionary" webhorror is so low. what happened
#god lord im so sick of itttttttt ToT#if you dont know analogue horror is on is deathbed and now ppl are onto ''digital horror''#which is the same thing except using digital mediums instead of analogue (like the internet instead of vhs)#and i do mean the same thing lol nothing has changed#not the conventions of storytelling not the limitations of the medium not the types of scares it presents#the only thing that has changed is the aesthetic. and that is unbelievably sad#if youre going to do a horror series based in the internet then why not.... actually use the medium of the internet for horror#theres so many scary things about the internet (esp early internet!!!!!) and yet no one is using that for their series#just the same old ''missing children's spirit communicating through tape oops i mean the website :)'' like cmon man.... :(#why not use things like viruses or the sudden connection to any and everyone through the internet or early hoaxes/creepy ads#lack of regulation on the early internet or the isolating/uncanny aesthetics of old hardware (kid me was so scared of computers lol)#or literally anything else that is DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE MEDIUM YOUR SERIES IS BASED ON#does anyone else on earth care about this or am i just picky??? hello???#i just want smth that leaves a genuine impact. i just want a series that feels like smth thats never been done before#i just want webhorror that knows what it wants to be and fits neatly into the confines of its medium#petscop felt like a real videogame. it felt like smth i could see in an ''obscure ps1 games youve never heard about!!'' video#it had a will they wont they about whether or not the game was actually talking to paul (through ghosts or other users etc)#but it was never in your face and it was left just vague enough that instead of breaking immersion it sucked you in even more#paul felt like a real person playing a real game and experiencing genuine fear and obsession alongside the audience#there was never a point where the screen started turning red and pauls voice became distorted and ''scary'' while creepy imagery popped up#bc petscop works entirely within the limitations of a man playing a videogame. no more no less#thats the kind of dedication to the medium that i want!!!!!!#i only critique webhorror so much bc its my favourite type of horror and i want it to improve

not the mcr archivist in sellout spitting about the band’s longstanding no sexism, no racism, no homophobia philosophy, gerard way feminine performance, inclusive pit etiquette, and broken beaten damned dynamic. all at once. all in print.
#they remind me so much of at the drive in. at least on the surface#obsessed OBSESSED with how this is the only person in this whole book so far whose only connection to the band is being the band’s archivist#the internet is so wonderful#mcr

Everytime you like my stuff I go insane, love you <3
I feel the exact same way. I see a notif that says unnamedrat(which I keep somehow reading as unarmedrat which is funny) and I’m kicking my feet with a smile, love you too <3
#seeds in the garden#sprouts from the greenhouse#dante the detective#we really are just two random people who connected through the internet and are lowkey obsessed with the others brains#and also just think the other is the awesomest ever#which#you are the awesomest ever so

#reminder to self: talk about the ecstatic joy felt when you fall down an internet rabbit hole#and you are no longer a flesh and bone creature existing to meatspace#but a purely disembodied intellectual force#connecting with they hivemind of the internet to internet the love letters#from artists/developers that are cryptic Easter eggs and hidden messages#(to decipher the love letters that are Easter eggs)#from artist/developers to the void that is loving inhabited by humanity at their most obsessive#I love when my body falls away and I am only intellectual pursuit#(yes I am drunk and watched several Jacob Geller videos)#including the one about shadow of the colossus#involving a group of internet obsessive who loved and believed so hard#the developers were moved by their passion and created the last great secret they sought in the remaster#compete with cryptic instructions to unlock a door that only existed#because they believe in the base game it could be opened (when it couldn’t)#that is love#that is love passed from one group to another in communion#until you love the very thing you were seeking into existsnce#believing in something so hard you MAKE it become#birth it into existence#it’s moments like this that remind me why I don’t actually hate humanity#sometimes I wish we’d all die in a firey cataclysm because I hate our stupidly so much#much this reminds me that we love so hard we deserve the world

i don't trust anyone that had a good time in middle school. it's a hellish first encounter of what's on the other side of childhood and designed to be a period of adjustment; it's not supposed to be comfortable. if you enjoyed being in seventh grade something is fundamentally wrong with you, and i'm like an animal sensing another animal has rabies or something. don't come any closer or i'll attack.
#in seventh grade i had no friends and was obsessed with learning this fictional language that was created for the myst game universe#they had all the grammar and stuff online and i contacted the guy who invented the language and asked him specific questions#and he answered me every time so i had this whole binder of language lessons straight from him#to this day i hold that guy close to my heart and keep up with his work bc he really came thru for me when i needed someone#he listened at a time when i felt very unheard and made me feel like i mattered and that was important even if it was just about a dumb#game bc it wasn't about that it was about someone telling me i'm not alone after all and there are other people like me out there#and that helped me see beyond the very small world of seventh grade into a greater future that contained possibilities for happiness#and it also made me realize that the internet could help me find and connect with people over even the most obscure fascinations#which was huge for me bc i had mostly been using the internet to print sailor moon pictures and spam chat rooms with#shakespeare monologues bc kids are annoying on the internet and i was weird but i was still a kid#anyway first date question: how do you feel about the seventh grade experience? this reveals so much about a person so quickly#i'm brilliant follow me for more excellent life advice i post unedited as it occurs to me in real time#personal#cyan worlds

i’m like if a girl had no friends 3/4 of a film degree and a blog
#lacking social interaction/attention -> looks to media to find connection -> obsesses and meticulously creates something to express that#feeling (make gif compilations) -> spills guts on the internet in hopes of finding a connection -> only 1/10 success rate -> start again?#past the point of embarrassed and circling back to broadcasting it i guess#like is this a void. am i going to talk myself into this madness every time???#when rob laska said do you really feel like dying does it cause you pain in a vertical age you can’t scroll it away it was for me personally

love these tags but smart printer need to die. my empathy ends with them
stumbled across some of my printer opinions that i don't recall writing but am correct about
#I don't want all my devices to connect to the Internet!!!#i had an english teacher in high school who was obsessed with smart technology#and she'd make us write essays on our opinions of the great future ahead of us with smart tech#and every time i refused to suck smart techs dick in my essays#and she would argue with me about how it would be “so great to have the fridge just order your stuff for you!”#because like “that way you dont need to think abt what to eat” ;; excuse me what#i would say like#i dont really fancy my fridge deciding that for me. and not seeing my options in the store. and it just auto billing it or smth#and she just refused to understand what i did not like about my fridge potentially connecting to megacorps running search engines#will never forget that woman. she always gave me the side eye because i used curse words in my smart tech essays but couldnt stop me#i dont miss high school for a second. but this is permanently etched into my brain because it was so funny to me

Even the Vegvisir is a Christian symbol. I believe it became associated with vikingrs because it was seen in old films lots as it fitted the aesthetic.
A reminder!
#the right wing and their obsession with these symbols and the superiority complex it brings brought down the first coven I ever was part of#like the entire thing imploded into a white supremacy group when the men started making up this connection and their partners were#too alienated from other friend groups to find escape#at least now we have the internet and it's easy to find escape from these people
