#to account for new things

I’ve got a slightly different interpretation to add. Don’t get me wrong, this is an absolutely like, objectively correct take described above, but to offer something that I think applies to a few more people in the real world:
It’s the “not being able to fit into an existing moral framework” quote from OP that really spoke to me here. Think of whatever Existing Moral Framework that you find yourself debating with wether online or irl (I won’t name names or point fingers, but all the ones I’m talking about are the reason I capitalized Existing Moral Framework). Now, when that person interacts with something that doesn’t fit into this Existing Moral Framework, they are quick to dismiss it, claim that thing doesn’t exist, or that it’s evil and wrong. The consequences of refusing to entertain change is that there will be more and more things that crop up in the world that simply cannot mesh with said Existing Moral Framework as it is.
The true horror of Lovecraft, I find, is just how much stuff this guy couldn’t adapt to. Like, interracial couples, complex math, even air conditioners??
Bro was so resistant to change that he made up monsters and demons about it.
You see that a lot with those who won’t accept change; that they will claim everything is monsters and demons because it’s simply easier than admitting that their Existing Moral Framework may be in any way incorrect.
People honestly didn’t go “mad” from seeing cosmic horror things in Lovecraft very often. That’s a modern thing, and honestly feels like modified “gorgon”
Usually its stress, paranoia or ptsd from near death experience.
The true terror was not really in seeing something horrifying and alien, but understanding the implications, or not being able to fit it into an existing mental framework.
#lovecraft#literary analysis#nerd stuff#big thoughts#like#okay so#its all well and good if you have an Existing Moral Framework#but you gotta make sure that you can dynamically reassess it#to account for new things#because otherwise you will find that youre miserable with all the demons and monsters you make#and talking to you about all those demons and monsters youve made is annoying and inconvenient to me#thats not to say that all change is good change#but theres some nuance to differentiating what is deemed bad from a refusal to grow and what is deemed bad from society's refusal to improv#i mean air conditioners come ON#your worldview gotta be adaptable to new discoveries and whimsy and yeah giving yourself the freedom to be whimsical can be scary sometimes#especially if your friends and family demand you follow the Existing Moral Framework under threat of being wrong and evil for something#that's out of your control#but what's the alternative?#you stay sad and alone in the past surrounded by a world that is moving on without you#comforted only by the terrors of the demons and monsters you've made about it all#i guess#the real lovecraftian horrors were the absolute shit takes we made along the way#i digress#here#have a gold coin for your troubles

“gay son or thot daughter,” you start to ask, but you can’t even finish your sentence because cosmo and wanda heard “gay son” and immediately started cheering and clapping

also don't let ur friends/society/tumblr posts/whatever convince u to start smoking or drinking or whatever if u don't want to. there are health risks there are social and financial aspects to consider and it's totally fine and normal to not want to. there's no moral aspect to it you can drink and do drugs or whatever if u want and that's chill but u should know what ur doing and do research and if u decide u dont want to that's chill and anyone who tries to shame u for it can go fuck themselves
#text#DORRY FOR ALL THE POSTING THIS MORNING this isnt even super related ifve just been thinking abt it a lot#bc the new thing is posting about how smoking is hot. Dont start smoking kids. genuinely#u r GOING to fuck up ur life and ur health and ur lungs and ur bank account probably. dont start smoking#like all jokes aside. do not. or at least know the risks and know what ur getting into#u r not immune to addiction u r not immune to health risks u r not immune to additional financial strain

A friend of mine sent me your latest post and I couldn't stop thinking about how perfectly Vasco would fit into the role of a coat of arms supporter. It got to the point that I just sat down and made a mock-up of the idea; turns out actually, both of them do a great job at it, together. Literally made this account to share the discovery (Extra funny points for them fitting the original colour scheme)
.
#I was having a late night snack and almost inhaled my pizza when I received this#glorious#Vasco is excited to be there he's taking his new coat of arms supporter role very seriously#hey stop fiddling with the mantle Machete leave it be#I had to look this up but this is apparently the royal coat of arms of united kingdom#and in the original the characters are a lion and an unicorn#which fits these two oddly well#I love the fig leaf censorship very classy very tasteful#thank you for going through the trouble of making an account just to send me this it's priceless#gift art#peaceofbreadcake#Vasco#Machete#own characters#teamwork ✨#the weird thing is how it almost works#if you didn't look closely enough you might not notice that the heraldic beasts are naked dog men

Something about the Jason’s favourite spots being rooftops overlooking Gotham because of a combination of him being scared of confinement and small spaces and being in a body that feels too big and wrong for him (it would be to anyone who wakes up as a 6 foot+ shit brick house when they last thing they remember is being a gangly 15 year old who hasn’t had their growth spurt yet). Like almost every room feels suffocating but being on a rooftop overlooking Gotham will never fail to make him feel small and it’s one of the few things that remained constant in the roller coaster that is his life
#batman#dc comics#dcu#batfam#dc robin#jason todd#batfamily#bruce wayne#red hood#no cause listen#Jason living in a disproportionately big house for one person and huge windows cause he never wants to be in a dark confined space again#him taking years to adjust to his new body that doesn’t quite feel like his#the random bumps and bruises he gets from hitting against things when the body disphoria gets especially bad#cause he forgets to account for the sheer size of his body#the only other place he can still fit in other than the rooftops of Gotham is in Bruce’s arms#cause no matter how big he gets he’ll always fit in them#sighs

pains me that there's simply not enough info on star wars in-universe entertainment and pop culture for my liking. i want to know what star wars version of the godfather looks like. i wanna know what kind of space fanfiction a pantoran teenager would read, the kind of space tiktok edits they would make. i want to know the star wars equivalent for whatever the hell that is happening with ben affleck and matt damon. i want to see a coruscant news outlet publish an article with a headline "M'ett Sp'Amon not wearing a wedding ring again during another visit to Beng Spifflek's house. which could mean nothing"
#i hope there's a picture going around the holonet thats like “rpf is fine” (c) grandmaster yoda#star wars#remember when there was that ancient star wars internet forum during prequels release that would post little snippets of news from coruscan#i miss that i need that that would've been so fun#make idk like a fake twitter account for planet or a city that woukd publish little things like that#and have reoccurring news reporter and celebrity characters#okay apparently a combination of the words space and tik tok kinda sounds like something else so im editing this sorry peace and love

#sars cov 2#covid 19#i've interacted with 4 different friends/acquaintances in the past month alone who have all been hospitalised after having a stroke#(and in one case multiple strokes)#one who i visited in hospital over the weekend had a (unmasked) nurse coughing up a lung in her room 👍#and one of them who had to undergo surgery also had to be moved to a different hospital#bc the ward they were keeping him in was full of confirmed covid patients 👍👍#idk how many times it needs to be said before it gets through people's heads but VACCINES ARE NOT ENOUGH#and encouraging ppl to rely solely on them when there are already plans to jack up the prices so you have to KEEP PAYING for boosters#for an ONGOING mass-disabling event is so laughably unrealistic and absurd and flat-out demonic#you need to mitigate the actual spread of covid by WEARING A MASK + fighting for CLEAN AIR/proper ventilation in public spaces!!!!!!#ppl are so eager to forget the whole 'break the chain of transmission' thing and how effective masking is and so this is where we're at#'i got infected and infected other ppl who might die or become permanently disabled but it's no big deal bc no one else wears a mask#so if /i/ didn't infect them someone else would have anyway so it's not my fault and really its got nothing to do with me and my choices'#if everyone is responsible then no one is responsible - that's how it works right?#it's no wonder some ppl go rabid at even the sight of someone wearing a mask and minding their own business#ppl seeking treatment for unrelated conditions/illnesses and then dying from covid caught in hospitals#due to lack of npis/basic mitigation measures - no regulations no accountability#we truly live in a hell (''new normal'') of our own making#anyway none of this is new news at all i mostly thought it might be good to share the info graphic abt signs of stroke#covid has been given free reign and chances are increasing as to how likely you'll encounter it happening to someone you know at some point#also heart attacks and pots and alzheimer's etc etc etc

Jim Kirk 🤝 Chris Pike "I don't know how to read Star Fleet regulations when it comes to my First Officer"
Star Trek SNW S1E3 Ghosts of Illyria / / Star Trek TOS S2E1 Amok Time

andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:
“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”
#pr manager is like: andrew… this is the last time i’m gonna tell you#andrew: whats the point of democracy if i can’t exercise freedom of speech#pr manager: andrew it’s no longer about your image#at this point we are concerned the fbi is going to show up#andrew: neil has connections. i’m fine#they thought marketing andrew on social media would be good#they were sooooo wrong#because now andrew has a place to share every insane thing he’s ever thought#for instance—a tweet that just says ‘an alien googling: human clothes’#he’s on there advocating for lgbtq+ youth you KNOW HE IS#he’s cursing and mildly threatening members of congress for imposing these disgusting bills#one day he tweeted ‘does mitch mcconnell know he’s dead yet’#when mitch mcconnell stepped down from senate andrew tweeted ‘hopefully next he steps down from life’#unsurprisingly: this endears him to some people and makes others fucking hate him#and he’s such a shit. he does not care either way#he’s kind of just like: pr manager. you gave me a twitter and told me to tweet. i’m just doing what you asked me#they’ve threatened to change his password so many times#they actually did once but andrew reported the account so many times for defamation and fraud that it got suspended#and he made a new account out of pure spite#his pr manager is like: andrew nobody is going to want to sign you because of your public image#and andrew is like: ?? ok. they can lose every game then#(he knows he’s the best goalie)#ok i think that’s enough for now. however i will probably be back#andrew minyard#aftg#tfc#trk#tkm#the foxhole court#all for the game
