“depiction is not automatically glorification” can and should coexist with “some depiction is glorification and you need to be able to tell the difference”

Please add to that list “apparent glorification in the first 15% of the thing does not constitute real glorification if the remaining 85% is dedicated to suffering the consequences, deconstructing the damage and changing ways” because some people around here don’t understand how the three act structure works.

Y'know yeah i will absolutely add this especially since people keep saying fight club is an example of glorification. Genuinely thanks for having one of the few good additions to this post

“For mature audiences” not as in “legally allowed to see a boob” but “can see a fictional character do a bad thing and not immediately go on a crusade against the author”

#fandom#op you can’t just murder that many people with one sentence

yeah if i personally committed murder it would be bad, as opposed to if i were to write a fictional character committing murder, which is morally neutral

Human trafficking in real life: primarily people from poor countries being taken into rich countries to act as exploited labor

Human trafficking in fiction: “Boss, we’ve kidnapped our five hundredth white woman from the suburbs today. That’s our quota, so we’re ready for the underground slave auction. Oh, and fire up the darkweb livestream for the pit battles between everyone we don’t sell.”

Pack Comfort

Flowers blooming, breath so faint and weak. Little hooves touched along mine, dreaming silently of lands of colored grasses and towering trees. Such little thing, so close to me. A comfort I wish to hold close, but know the flame is fleeting. I suppose until the fire dies, I can enjoy its warmth until I am forced to wake.

#me sending this to everyone I know who’s from Toowoomba

So like four people

Says the person from Mt Gambier

Hey we’re the second largest population centre in the entire state

Don’t look up how populated our state is overall that’s not important

For anyone confused according to the 2021 Australian census Toowoomba has 6x as many people living there as Mt Gambier. 162,059 to 26,878.

Oh sure if you want to do NUMBERS about it

Looks like this post is starting to do numbers, eh?

#at this rate this post might to do more numbers than Mt Gambier

Hey,

posts that have 26,879 notes to me

Are you all pleased with yourselves.

#well don’t slack off now#i’m sure we can make this do Toowoomba numbers

There’s something wrong with this website.

I see some people in the notes thinking that this is the Death card, but it’s not. It’s much funnier. It’s the Five of Cups, upright, which symbolizes like. Loss. Disappointment. Emotional Suffering. You thought you were going to get something and then you didn’t. Even more hilarious than Fox News bringing in a tarot card reader for Trump in 2024 is that same tarot reader immediately flipping over a card that says LOSER.

It’s annoying but the way you improve yourself is one tiny thing at a time

You can’t realistically stop all of your bad habits at once. So like. Pick one. Pick one thing in your life to work on. Eating slightly more vegetables or being slightly nicer to your coworkers or reducing the amount you drink. Something. And once that’s easy try something else.

compromise

[ID: Four panel comic with crudely drawn stick people.

Panel 1: A person wearing an indigo hat and a person with a green body, pink jacket and half red, half blue pointy anime glasses are talking.

Anime Glasses: “See, what you have to learn eventually, which I’m teaching you now, is you can’t rely on external validation.

People are going to ask you to compromise your existence with their worldviews, and you’re going to tell them no.

That’ll be coming both from grayscales and other chromatics, by the way.

Indigo: Huh.

Panel 2: A violet person with a rectangular build enters from the side.

Violet: "Hang on, weren’t you pink before?”

Anime Glasses: “Visually, sure.”

Violet: “And now you’re green?”

Anime Glasses: “Yeah. Got bored. Changed it up.”

Violet: “You can’t just do that.”

Anime Glasses: “Nah. You can’t. Skill issue.”

Panel 3: A grayscale person enters to back up Violet.

Grayscale: “See, this is what we’ve been saying all along. Where is the limit? When will the madness end??”

Violet: “Wait don’t back me up on this-”

Grayscale, interupting: “You’ll be pressuring them into turning themselves blue! You’re making this serious decision seem trivial, but it’s not! Who’s going to tell them to wait and think things through?”

Anime glasses, quietly towards indigo: “Here’s your chance. Tell them.”

Panel 4: Zoom in on Indigo, with anime glasses in the background tilting their glasses up so the light glares off them.

Indigo: “Indigo. Not fucking blue.

Everyone’s been telling me to wait with this shit for twenty fucking years.

How about mind your own business and don’t interrupt the first person who’s actually fucking helping me.”

No offense but I think some of you would be a lot happier writing a fictional atlas or encyclopedia instead of a narrative story

Concur! Go forth and write your Dragonology and your Guidebook to Fairyland! Write a traveler’s diary of a setting! These are fun and legitimate things to do!

I love books that are literally just this!

there are no hard rules for human interaction but honestly i think everyone online would benefit hugely from operating under the assumption that, unless you have been given a specific reason to think otherwise in discrete instances, internet strangers do not want to be approached with:

• your trauma, illnesses, or deep-rooted self worth issues
• any come-ons or sexual content
  
• over-familiar playful rudeness
  
• information about your dnd characters/ocs
• disagreements with their harmless subjective opinions
  

if it is your first time speaking with someone i can not highly enough recommend that these do not be your opening topics

something that has happened enough that it’s officially a Pattern of internet behavior: i will make a tweet that’s like, a jokey headcanon about a piece of media, and then someone i’ve never spoken to before in my life will come into the replies to try and offer a directly contradictory and actively depressing take. and either within their initial reply, or once i’ve expressed polite disagreement, they’ll make sure i know that the reason they have this headcanon is because they’re projecting their own trauma or self worth issues onto a fictional character.

and the thing that really gets me about this is that i am like 90% sure these people don’t have any ill intentions or even think they’re particularly overstepping. but i just can not fathom what the intended response to these things. i have NO idea what sort of reaction they’re looking for. it’s such a weird and uncomfortable spot to be put in. it’s a great way to get instantly put on my mental list of people to never engage with in the future

We’ve all heard the “I like pancakes” / “Oh, so you hate waffles?” example of a social media exchange, but we don’t talk enough about how “I like pancakes” / “I can’t eat pancakes anymore since my brother choked to death on one before my eyes” is not a great approach either.

Parasocial relationships don’t just happen to celebrities. Tumblr has such a conversational nature and unique sense of identity that I really think people forget that we’re not all just automatically friends, or at least in the same social circle. From there it’s the shortest of leaps to oversharing.

generational difference between people who learnt the word kin on tiktok and think it is a fun way of saying u identify somewhat with a character VS people who learnt the word kin on tumblr where people would threaten each other about kin lists because they genuinely believed they were a manifested reincarnation of karkat homestuck

genuinely people would have tiered lists of kins, from it’s okay to follow me if you kin this, to never interact w me if any of your mutuals are kin w this because this is literally me

people were kinblocking like it was the beaches of fucking normandy

interpretation

[ID: Three panel comic with crudely drawn stick people.

Panel 1: A lime green person is talking to an olive green person, and a person with a book on their head is off on the side.

Lime: “Yeah I mean season four was good but I feel like they’re taking a dive now, the writing’s been pretty iffy and-”

The Most Illiterate Person Alive: “I am the most illiterate person alive!”

Lime: “…Okay, good for you. As I was saying the character arcs-”

The Most Illiterate Person Alive: “Holy shit how could you torture forest creatures for your own pleasure like that?”

Panel 2: Olive and Lime both turn to face The Most Illiterate Person Alive.

Lime: “What the fuck are you talking about?”

Olive: “They weren’t even talking about forest creatures!”

The Most Illiterate Person Alive: “You admitted to torturing forest creatures! I heard you!”

Lime: “No, I think you’re pretty far from a reasonable interpretation of anything I said just now.”

Panel 3: Zoom out to a larger crowd as The Most Illiterate Person Alive shouts with their hands in the air, Lime and Olive watching in frustration as the crowd responds.

The Most Illiterate Person Alive: “Hey! These two greenies said they like torturing forest creatures!”

Crowd: “How horrible!

Holy shit!

I believe you uncritically, Most Illiterate Person Alive!

I knew it! This confirms my biases!”

It actually kills me how easy it is to become someone murderbot cares about

Like it gets its first job that it chose and like within hours is invested enough to let someone lay down with it, its upset that it relaxed when there was still someone who needed protection despite the job basically being over anyway

It just watched the preservation team for most of their survey and decided it like them based on things like Mensah driving safely before it was ever ready to accept direct kindness

Its capacity for love is massive when shown even the slightest basic compassion and sometimes even when it can just sympathize with your position despite you hurting it

and it still walks around like “I stepped through the door and I bet everyone flinched because I’m a Terrifying murderbot, which is my name btw, the one I chose for myself”

God this is gonna suck when I get to Frost Cavern. 

Still holding on tight to that 3DS I don’t have and couldn’t figure out how to get back. Our mom’s probably holding it hostage.

Haha I’m never going back in there in case the game notices I’m not wearing the default outfit and forces me into actual clothes again. 

Oh hey, do you want to see how it resolved the issue of not having a full render model?

The short answer is it didn’t.

Every now and then notes for this float past my dash and I’m forcibly reminded that I had to stop because I got trapped behind Nurse Joy’s counter and couldn’t figure out how to leave the Pokémon Center because the camera clipped through the floor into PokéHell.
