The way I have been absolutely DROWNING in nostalgia this summer for the 90s and 00s and I have no idea why it's been so bad specifically right now. Like I'm usually pretty bad about wanting to go back in time and all that but 1) usually it's for a bit later of a time period than that (mid-late 00s rather than early 00s and into the 90s) and 2) it's usually more of a background radiation whereas this summer I've been getting fully punched in the face with it.

But yeah I dunno if it's the approaching third-life crisis (i.e. the fact that I'm turning 33 in a month) or the general state of the world or just what's going on in my own life. Or even just that I've just kind of happened to run into stuff that's triggered that nostalgia a lot more. But man has it been beating me over the head.

Old School

A design I made as a sticker rally prize! Our theme was nostalgia and to me there's just something super nostalgic about the old GSC games and the old Pokémon artwork aesthetic.

Find me and my art elsewhere!

In the late 1970s a glowing orb appeared in the sky. Every day at about 5:00 Greenwich standard time, the orb would go somewhere new, shoot out something similar to a laser, and kill one person. Every day, always at the same time, always exactly one person.

The person killed by the orb seemed completely random, with almost fifty years of studying it we've been able to find no rhythm or reason to who it kills. It kills the old, the young, the rich, the poor, the urban, the rural, anyone. Every human on earth seems to have an equal chance of being killed by the orb. It's a headline the few times someone of note is killed by the orb: Britain famously lost a Parliament member to the orb, Brazil to this day remains the only country where a head of state was killed by the orb while in office, there was a short lived sitcom in the 1990s called Freinds that ended halfway through its first season due to the orb killing one of the main actors on set. However, these are outliers, on any given day the person who dies via orb is very likely to be someone you never heard of. There are billions of people on earth, and only one is killed by the orb every day. In almost fifty years only a little over 18000 have died because of the orb, which is nothing in the face of the sheer amount of humans that exist.

When the orb first appeared people were horrified. Both the US and USSR thought it was a weapon from the other side. Almost every religion made some claim of it being proof of their beliefs, oftentimes claiming it was divine punishment. Atheists claimed it was proof no loving God could exist. People were so very apocalyptic and horrified by it, they thought of it as part of the end times, because when it was new that's really how it looked.

However, it's been long enough so that's changed. Most people have lived their entire lives in a world where the orb exists. The orb isn't that scary a concept. People know their odds of being killed by it are low and that it's not going to end the world or anything. The orb has become normal, and we've accepted that the orb is just something that kills people the same way cancer, or heart attacks, or natrual disasters, or car crashes kill people. In the nineteen eighties there were efforts to find a way to stop the orb, but it's since proven to be extremely difficult, and it's as distant and nebulous as finding a cure for cancer. When a community is struck by the orb you'll see that community in mourning, but it's not a global thing anymore.

So people grow up learning about the orb, as part of science, like anything else. A lot of gen z remembers learning about the orb from Magic School Bus. It's just something normal. There are a few people with an orb hyperfixation, and a few cults that give the orb importance but it's not most people's concern. The orb is how we first confirmed that interdimensional objects existed and are possible. A lot of people theorize dimensional studies wouldn't exist without it, meaning without the orb we might not have thermitizers or grand drives, we might not even have a moon base without the orb. Some have even rather tastelessly claimed that the orb has saved more lives at this point that its taken with all the knowledge it's given us.

Which is why I regret to inform you, that just last week, without warning, the orb killed two people in one day. And for the past seven days it's been killing two people instead of just one. Nobody knows why.

Keep an eye on who agrees to this; with a cast this size there are going to be a lot of actors we're all going to be very unhappy with real soon

i really do think that "let me in" is the most potently horrifying phrase ever conceived of. just let me in. that's all you have to do. just invite me inside. show me kindness. trust me. all you have to do is say yes. all you have to do is open the door. the rest is up to me. but you can trust me. have faith. you wouldn't leave me out here. you wouldn't turn away. not you. you aren't cruel. you're a good person. i can see that. i need your help. that's why i'm asking this of you. just let me in. let me in. let me in let me in letmeinletmeinletmein LET ME IN

scars in fiction: I got this trying to save my lover from an assassin- but tragically, I was too late. now I carry the mark of my failure with me always, and I can never forget~

scars in real life: so I was trying to open macaroni sauce with a paring knife

you really do have to kill that judgmental waspy conformity obsessed voice in your head & truly embrace the idea that provided you’re not bothering anyone, you can do whatever you want

today i took my 50 pack of crayola markers, a coloring book, and my laptop to a coffee shop. i bought a drink, i settled in at a small table, i hooked up my headphones, and i colored while watching anime for about an hour & a half

grown ass adult sitting alone at the coffee shop quietly coloring & watching anime — unconventional? perhaps a bit. bothersome to anyone else? not in the slightest

there is no invisible audience scrutinizing your every move!!! literally no one gives a shit!! there are no rules!!!! do whatever you want forever!!!!
