Somehow my jazzprowl tfone fic has become instead a scathing critique of capitalism how did we get here

#tfone #transformers #so #sleep deprived me had the thought that shanix is actually specifically a currency only the miners use #the rest of iacon has like a barter system with energon as the base resource #this is because the energon is deliberatly restricted for the miners so the coged get more #but it also serves a dual purpose of both pacifying the miners (that false idea of hard work=more priviledge)#and economically isolating them so they have no way of making it in broader society #then the whole thing comes crumbling down at the end of the movie and now suddenly all that hard work for their shanix was for nothing #because useless hunks of metal only have value so long as society agrees it has value #this was supposed to be about #jazzprowl #what the hell

To all the posts on tiktok and insta going on about how their clothing is to specific moments in their lives together (on camera)... can I tell them that people don't have an infinite wardrobe without them breaking down? Like calm the fuck down. How many times do we wear the same shirt cause it's comfortable or it just looks good?

This reminds me of how dating rumours in the kpop industry begin. Matching jewelry. Matching clothes. When all I see is... oh yeah, looks aight.

Below is a brain vomit on softpower? I think.

I just had a thought about how soft power countries like Korea and Japan have given Thailand a module to succeed using tourism and entertainment to boost their economy through producing artists. At this point, as much reign on the artist's private is on par to that of the Korean entertainment industry. Unlike Japan who have their artists more or less discreet. However using Japan and Korea as stepping stones, Thailand realized that they can take it a step further by legalizing gay marriage and protecting gay right to draw more foreigners in to boost commerce and bring in foreign trade with international advancements for their own profit if they see Thailand as this progressive country...

AAAAAHHHHHH MY HEAD IS GOING DOWN A RABBIT HOLE!

Oh fuck..

Anyway does anyone know where I can get a copy of love upon a time by littlebear96. I want to buy the book directly. I don't if it's still in Thai.

#this was supposed to be about #netjames #but instead turned into an analysis barely scratching the surface #of #soft power #of countries like #japan #south korea #thailand #kpop #industry #look at thailand producing their own music groups now #they have always had talented artists so why now #why now #thai bl #rant #wrote this instead of sleeping #cheers to chaos #head hurt #OI MALAYSIA KEEP THE FUCK UP #THEY ARE ABOUT TO SURPASS MALAYSIA #ahahahhahahahah #hopefully ill be out of here by then #if you see this #malaysia #it means maybe you should realize the strength of soft power and keeping up with the times #like im just waiting out for these dinosaurs to die cause even my generation is sick of you all #now can anyone let me know where i can find “love upon a time” by littlebear96 please #i want to support the author directly by buying a physical copy #and use it as a hint to come out to my mother

#and so milgram was born #milgram #meme #Jackalope #hope no one has done this already #this post broke containment. if you're here for tma this is about a music project called milgram where prisoners in a panopticon sing song #about their crimes . anyway . the warden is a talking jackalope .#which was edited into this post. so uh. he is on your blog now #i thought it was very obvious that this was an edited icon and display name but apparently some people think Twitter op was a milgram fan #I'm sorry to disappoint #this was supposed to be a 3 note post for niche jp music project fans #if you're reading my tags look at my Cosplays

well it finally happened

so my dad is almost 80, this man's been making Spirk content since Star Trek started airing basically

he never knew ao3 existed, he just thought people stopped writing fanfic when ff.net died, like it was a fad that had outgrown him or smth

he clicked an ao3 link in my pinned last night, realizing that they were in fact clickable

he's mad at me for not telling him earlier. "I don't have a lot of years left in me and there's so much to read"

he's gonna spend his whole retirement reading trek fanfic now jesus christ

#never let anyone tell you you're too old for fandom when my dad's in the trenches rn #turning off reblogs cuz this was never supposed to escape containment #our relationship isnt great so getting asks about it is awkward

we need to step away from viewing marriage as inherently romantic, or the primary goal of romance. marriage is a legal contract we use to create important ties--financial, medical, next-of-kin, mediating shared property and parental rights. the details vary a lot based on where you are and what paperwork you sign. which is not very romantic! but it does have many real-world effects on our ability to share our lives with our partners.

first and foremost, marriage is a legal right we use to build and protect our families, whatever that family may look like

#it's an important option for life partners to have! but we need to treat it more like a legal tool #and less like 'This Is What An Ideal Marriage Looks Like'#a marriage is a relationship and relationships vary a LOT #there's no one-size-fits-all #but BEING married is a legally defined thing. with (boring but important) legal benefits and consequences.#and the way we talk about it should reflect that #we need to stop treating it as 'marriage is the romantic ideal and also a milestone that people are just Supposed To Do'

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

#ramble #if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands #you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things #some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible #the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think #i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex #this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!!#how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about #yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian #you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

nicky loves putting flowers in his mama's hair, naturally whenever rio is around she makes sure to grow the prettiest ones for them

#does agatha know where those beautiful flowers are coming from? definetly #she simply lets it happen because nicky loves it #and a lot of nights when rio spends a few minutes with him without agatha knowing he asks all about those flowers #and rio loves those moments where she gets to be nicky's mother #and now im DEPRESSED!#this was just supposed to be cute #sorry #agatha all along #agatha harkness #rio vidal #agatha x rio #agathario #agathario fanart #agatha all along fanart #evgarart

Physically? I am sitting in my bedroom. Mentally? Spiritually? I AM DEAD ON THE FLOOR!!!!! THESE TWO HAVE KILLED ME!!!!

(Another drawing! This was originally attempt #1 at drawing stan, and then fiddleford just showed up. Kinda feels like them five minutes after the above acting like nothing happened though, so it works sdjkgkjfshj)
