You're not embarrassed being an old woman and being in tumblr? I would rather die that my grannies have an actual account on tumblr for celebrities rho
Why would I be embarrassed for having interests I enjoy? My guess is that you’re really, really young. And that maybe you don’t actually have solid relationships with adults who have lives outside of parenting or work. But I hope for you that when you’re my age you have hobbies that bring you happiness. And that by that point you realize that trying to shame someone for being an adult only makes you look too immature to be in adult spaces, which Tumblr is.
When I was 20, I loved music, making art, writing and reading good stories, fashion, talking about popular culture, making friends, going to concerts… You’d be surprised how little changes when you’re my age. I just have way more money and time to enjoy those things now. I’m only 55. I’m not dead. I’m also not a “granny”, but even if I was, I’d probably still like all of those things.
Ageism isn’t cute, love. And I sure don’t ever see people telling men they shouldn’t go to football games or have their little “fantasy football leagues” or wear their favorite player’s merch. For every comment you guys like to say is misogynistic (but isn’t), this is one that really reeks of it.
the philosophical implications of goncharov are what grasps me the most. the entire concept of goncharov as a "lost movie" poses the question of what it means to exist, what it means to become. goncharov, as a piece of visual media, does not exist and will never be found in an archive or on a streaming service. but goncharov, the lost film, exists because a sudden, spontaneous, and largely unanimous decision was made by a unified collective that it should exist. the unified collective, prompted by nothing more than sheer will, subsequently brought forth a complete feature *film with largely consistent plots, characters, themes, motifs, and music featuring genre consistencies with other films of that type/era as well as genuine cold-war era aesthetic, musical influence, and self-reflective commentary. "goncharov doesn't exist" and yet, here it exists in just as much reality as any found-footage film (i.e. blair witch project or chronicle) that demands one believe in that which simultaneously does and does not exist, simply because it was decided that it must exist. insane.
No lie. I've been away from Tumblr for most of the weekend busy with RL stuff. And I spent the first five minutes of my Monday morning so fucking confused....
