#thoughts on being

[inqilabi]

You know it's not lost on me that being in my 30s - everything I've done so far has been alone. I wrote this as I go to yet another movie. Alone. I don't mind of course. I hiked today. It was a beautiful warm fall day. With peak fall colors. I was alone. Sometimes I discover a beautiful new song, but I have no one to marvel at it and obsess over it with me. Because I chose this back when I decided that I wanted to go at life solo and rebuked any romantic relations (with men).

I've travelled alone. I've watched all my fav TV shows alone. I've gone through my daily affairs with no one to share it with..

I don't have any emotion attached to this. It's just stating fact.

I don't feel particularly lonely. But it is a long time to spend without a companion especially when most people have someone of significance in their life by this point. The average North American has two decades of relationships by this age. Many of my friends got married young. And at that point I certainly did not care, because I didn't care for marriage at that time. But now even my siblings are either married or I know will certainly have their own life. And your own life starts to feel a little empty..

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

the steven universe hate is insane bc people are (or at least were) more upset that fictional war criminals got fictional hugs than they recognize that it singlehandedly advanced queer rep in children's media by lightyears and then straight up ate heavy retaliation for the nerve.

It does have real flaws that are worth discussing, but it also put their male protagonist in dresses and skirts and played it straight and even empowering, they aired a lesbian wedding on television, it was a genuinely queer, genuinely diverse piece of media through and through. It did a lot of real good for the real world.

But also the fictional characters caused fictional harm to other fictional characters, and didn't get an onscreen firing squad sentence. So, you know, it's basically ontologically evil in real life.

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

i don't think that as social beings we were suppose to be organized in a way where the romantic relationship is the source of all your emotional and intellectual needs. But the way we are organized today, the romantic relationship is forced to be the main source of intellectual and emotional fulfillment. Other social relations seem to weaken with time and life, when they should not. And would not if our society was organized with human beings, not capital, in mind.

Some lovely people have tried to inform me that real hedgies can have clicky purrs and I am very much aware of that. I just think Shadow is built different.
