Hung up in my schools cafeteria yesterday :) it’s larger than the others so they’re gonna order a smaller one and put it up there but still!! Progress is progress!

This game is great because this singular fucking debate will always persist in and around this games community.

I genuinely don’t know a single other game that has had an effect like this I love it so much lmfao.

disco elysium will literally joke about how communists love complaining about other communists, lightly make fun of some communists (who are themselves making fun of other communists for not being the right kind of communist), and people will be like Oh they made fun of communists. i guess disco elysium was centrist all along

Can’t explain it but a lotta modern day internet queer people are just as insistent about gender roles and norms as cis people are.

Also ignoring everything else it seems like Christian’s are like always happy that Jesus died BECAUSE it’s a good thing. That he died for our sins and without that we’d all be in hell or something. Idk I’m not Christian but that’s something I’ve noticed

This post exactly encapsulates my issue with this style of “tumblr prose” it just reads like someone trying to write with the gravity and magnitude of someone like a Cormac McCarthy, HP Lovecraft, and gothic authors of the 18-1900s without really understanding what makes them so good. Yeah more then anything it’s just made to be quick slides, moments to he viewed in isolation and looked at as “profound” without really saying much of substance. And credit where it’s due some of the individual sentences are at the least- interesting. But looking at it as a whole, a work of art, it comes off disjointed and confusing.

This stuff takes the aesthetics and the diction of these specific styles, long words and slow sentences. Paragraphs built with all the grandiose of something like the Sistine chapel. But just ends up appropriating them without actually seeming like it has much appreciation or reverence for this style and it’s importance. It really does come off like someone just trying to make something that sounds and looks profound and meaningful rather then a genuine contribution to the medium and landscape.

Nothing against the person specifically, it’s clearly made by a younger person trying to find their footing and that’s fine. But I’ve also seen it replicated by artists with significantly more experience and talent. It seems like a handicap, requiring you to repeat the same sentences over and over again just with different phrasing. I get why it’s so popular but it feels like the imagine dragons or unholy of writing. Trying to sound as large and as important as dramatic as it can while really only going in circles and saying the same, basic thing and trying to replicate styles that aren’t built for the quick gasps and reactions that it seems like these people who do this kinda stuff are going for. Styles that are a lot more long and have so much more buildup to moments and writing like this

Idk, long post but it’s a thing that’s been on my mind.

Believe me I hate the whole “it’s not my job to educate you” line of thinking. Honestly I do but if one more paper white suburban motherfucker tells me that I can’t be romani and American I’m gonna fucking say it.

ALSO FUCK YOU IF YOU ACTUALLY SAY THE WORD GYPSY IN THE CURRENT YEAR. JFC.

CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES SOMEONES RESPONDED TO ME SAYING IM ROMANI WITH “OH SO YOURE A GYPSY” OH MY GODDD

Ik I keep making posts like the previous two but like sometimes I genuinely think media literacy is dead

Seeing people find out for literally the first time ever that both Scott and Ramona are bad people is never not gonna be funny

In any good English 101 course, you are taught to define terms before writing the rest of your paper. Understanding how misinformation is spread through conflation, confusion, and intentional ambiguity is vital and necessary.

As we have, in the last months, been exploring Christian Zionism on our page, we've seen the comments run into issues of confusion on this very topic.

Warhammer fandom elsewhere on the internet: *nerd bros with memes from 2011 and vaguely weird vibes talking about which primarchs could beat up which*

Warhammer fans on Tumblr: Omg. my guy. My dude. My little humfus blumfus. My skroinky paloinky. My blorbo. Littlest of meow meows. *points towards Deathkiller Skullscream the Vile, Lord of the infamous warband the Boneflayers from Planet Murder, whose least significant warcrimes involve torturing civilians to distill hard drugs out of their neural tissue (its more potent if they die screaming) and owning an entire planet as his own personal torture chamber which he goes to to unwind after a hard day of orphan murdering and slave trading*

Smells of apricots and slaughter

Istg some of y’all are missing every ounce of subtext and commentary happening in the show. Mizu is not a good person that’s literally the fucking point oh my god.

Cataloguing a few stories about revenge I really like, ordered top to bottom in order of my favorites, though I really do like all of them

disco elysium grabbing me by the shoulders: "listen, everything is going to end and it's inevitable so do something beautiful while you still have the time. look at the men playing petanque in the bomb crater, look at the guy composing poetry as he imagines being with his wife and kids. there's a woman making dice in the chimney of an old commercial area. those kids are making music inside of a church. paint a wall, sing karaoke, play board games. everything is going to end but in the meantime something beautiful is going to happen. and maybe even the giant bug is real in the end."

I lost a friend recently

I never knew her personally, she lived in a different country but I still knew her

When she died a friend who knew her beyond virtually, the wall the rest of us were trapped behind broke the news.

Im

Not afraid of forgetting her. She had a distinct presence.

In a good way of course

Her voice her inflections all stand out to me

But that means it’s easier to notice her absence

I knew what she looked like

I was one of the only ones she ever sent a picture of herself to

I saved it, instinctually, in case I ever forgot what she looked like

Now that she’s gone it feels wrong to keep it

But it’s all of her I ever knew

And I don’t have it in my heart to kill her

I’m tired boss
