I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains
I think a lot of tumblr users need to learn that in the same way morality and beauty aren’t connected, neither are morality and quality.
If your first reaction to an artist doing something shitty is to say “Well, their music was always shit anyways” then that’s bad??? That’s a bad way to approach media actually.
Sometimes good artists do shitty things, sometimes shitty artists do good things idk what to tell you.
there’s so much pathologizing over why enemies to lovers is a popular trope (something something the normalization of abuse something something) when the simplest and less moronic answer is that narratives thrive on irony and reversals, and there’s no greater irony than characters going from hating each other’s guts to loving each other unconditionally. raw thesis-antithesis-synthesis.
the reason we know fandom wiki isn't accurate is because it straight up said that gus isn't just as weird as shawn, he just goes along with the antics. fuck right off. he's just as weird IF NOT WEIRDER than shawn. yes he's the "responsible one" but having a job isn't mutually exclusive with being batshit. gus is Weird and Strange and his idea of a good superhero is a guy who tap dances and throws sand in people's eyes
Gary Oldman being all giggly and fangirling while reading the script for the new episodes of Slow Horses, eagerly waiting for the moment when he'll see Jack Lowden reacting to Lamb's verbal abuse is totally relatable for us here on Tumblr.
He's soooo into River Cartwrong's wrong doings, and I love him for that.

Do people know how psychologically troubling it was to be a Norwegian Eddsworld fan?
Genuinely all I remember from that show is watching all the ew episodes, finding it very entertaining and fun, trying to read one (1) fanfiction, and instantly being punched in the face with badly google-translated Norwegian pillow talk.

can't stop thinking about how the "convinced to return for one last job" trope is a kind of resurrection. digging up a restless corpse that maybe should have stayed buried.
Twitter users are defending their right to assume Picasso was a renaissance artist. Tiktok users think watching any film made outside the US makes you a snob. “Replace classic lit with YA and fan fiction” discourse is flourishing. I think we’re just living in anti intellectual times.
