#unenjoyableness

I know it's a thing on here to treat ppl who are unamused by horoscope shit as wet blankets but frankly there is something uniquely aggravsting abt telling another person your star sign in order to participate in what you assume is lighthearted convo and watching a respected adult peer actively adjust how they feel about you as a person in real time bc of the day of the year you happened to be born on

Anatomy Lesson

"Over here is the trapezius. Roughly speaking, it extends midway down your spine—and underneath starts the latissimus dorsi. It goes all the way down to...are you listening? Stop shaking!"

"I am sorry! It, it feels weird!"

"Get over it! Do you want a good grade or not?"

no writing ver.

Pure vanilla is a premed and his study buddy is helping him out!!!! how nice of Shadow milk! this is definitely worth an A in Anatomy class!!!!!!! he was very confused when he was told to take off his shirt but it makes perfect sense now!!!!!!!!!

by the way, Pure Vanilla is sitting on his hands because he's quite a fickle, jumpy thing! Who knew how handsy he could get while being scribbled on?

it’s gross that every aroace character’s identity is seen as a threat to fandom… that it becomes a battle of semantics and excuses to find ways to ignore it… maybe think about why a character not feeling romantic or sexual attraction (and possibly not being interested in those relationship/partnering) is so scary to you… why it threatens your enjoyment of media/fandom…

I think there is an inherent evil in the fact that P.E. really sends their freighters out with limited food supplies and commodifies sweets/treats.

Not a lot of people are familiar with sugar and the value it had when it came to labors but it was expensive and treated as a luxury. Sugar was a sign of being comfortable and prosperity and even wealth as you could afford to get it and use it in abundance. There's definitely something to be discussed that Curly, who doesn't really care for sweets, was offered the one luxury item they are allotted and the fact the sweetener packets are addictive and a reoccurring device in the game.

It is used as a reward but also to mask the bitter reality or taste of a lot of the events. The mouthwash has just enough sugar to cover the ethanol hence why Swansea drinks so much of it, but has to much to be a disinfectant, only hurting Daisuke more (note he loves sugar). The cake is awarded for Curly and made by him, someone who doesn't care for confections, and serving it commences the bitter reveal of their firing. Jimmy gets Daisuke to use an extra sweetener packet to cover up the extra alcohol in the mocktail and we know where that leads.

At the end when there is no more sugar to cover up the bitter things, we taste the horrors clear as day. They were always a lingering bitter taste in the games story but at the end that's all that's there.

so a thing about FOMO is that sometimes it turns out things aren't actually that fun or enjoyable for you, and if they're not fun and enjoyable for you, you're not actually missing out on it. there's many things a lot of people are really super into, and it will often feel like you are Wrong for not being into it, and that you're missing out on the thing because you keep doing it wrong. but no! sometimes that thing is just not compatible with how you enjoy things!!

roller coaster for you may feel fantastic and exciting but for me it feels very bad and terrible. i am not missing out on the roller coaster experience by not doing the thing that feels very bad and terrible. the good roller coaster experience was never an option for me to begin with! i may be envious of the way other people have fun on roller coasters, but i enjoy other things that other people cannot relate to. so it goes! diversity of human existence strikes again!

I bring a sort of „no experience“ vibe to the job application that employers don’t really like

i was trying to read a book that i... well, frankly started to hate today and i was trying to just get through it because my friends have read it and liked it, so why couldn't i? but i got to where the author had written "she bared her teeth" for the umpteenth time in the last 3 chapters and i went. life's too short. life is too freaking short. so i closed the book and im never going to think about it again

shout out to my stroke stabilizer being too high and turning off my ability to enjoy drawing for 3 whole days and me being fuckin clueless as to why.

also I cannot believe I didn't See the Signs that academia was not the place I wanted to be in long-term (this was when i was thinking about the Who of teaching)..... GIRL you literally thought about academic conferences and department meetings and grading papers and doing research and BALKED at the thought!!!!! and felt a little like Eowyn contemplating the horrors of a cage!!!!!!!

My computer is going through it. I literally don't know what's wrong but the noise it's making is brutal...

"This was a good movie, but I didn't enjoy watching it," is such a weird experience to have.

Save percabeth from the cringy 2014-era of Tumblr feminism interpretion where he is a wimpy out-of-charater loser that let's annabeth mistreat him and annabeth is an overly aggressive, mean girl boss who's only shown as "badass" because she talks down to him 🤢 it's like yall try to subvert sexist tropes by.....placing them on the opposite gender
