Someone: *uses omori or sonic soundtrack as background music for a YouTube video*

Me, watching that video: *goes insane*

I wonder how many people before us have been in relationships that challenge the definitions of friendship and romance. It’s something that’s becoming more popular in my generation, but only on a... personal level. It’s more frequent, but it’s still a niche. I learned about other possibilities from my friends and from the internet, but it’s still not in mainstream media. Not in movies, in series, in books. It never was. I’m slowly discovering how freeing it is to live relationships outside of set boxes, and it’s something I’m discovering by myself. Partly because I have friends in open relationships and QPRs... and partly by just thinking “screw it, I might as well listen to what I want regardless of the rules, and see where it takes me”. Maybe it would have taken me longer without the help of the internet and other people’s experiences, but maybe I still would have found that freedom just by listening to myself. Someone must have done it first, right?

So I’m thinking... how many other people before me did that? How many, before they’d ever heard it was possible, built relationships outside of the norm? How many decided to ask out their crush who was already in a couple, and all three made it work? How many made out with their friends in a completely platonic way? How many raised families together with someone they had a deep affection for but no romantic love, and both knew it and were content with it?

How many people discovered the freedom of just listening to their wants and needs, without following the rules? How many people quietly challenged the established definitions of relationships, that we never heard about? Because they’re not chronicled in stories, because we only ever write about the romantic love interest, the best friend, the confidante. But there’s so much more complexity to human relationships, I cannot believe we’re just now starting to explore it. Others before us must have built something different, and thought that they were alone, that they were pioneers. I wish I could know about them, I wish more people today could now that something else is possible.

I'm not saying the lack of Foggy Nelson is why neither of the backdoor pilots from 1989's "Trial of the Incredible Hulk" nor the 1994 Spider-Man animated series failed to manifest a Daredevil series, but actually, maybe that's exactly what I'm saying.

"I can just disappear from the internet and never be heard from again" I say as if I have anything else to do

Modern Jack Kelly being forced to write Cornell notes and subsequently not being able to retain any information because if his notes aren't doodled and scribbled without format he just forgets all of it

After watching the barbie movie...it was okay. I can't help but think it'd be better if it had more scenes like the beginning or the "I'm just ken" scenes, babies doing barbie things & having fun, like life in the dreamhouse

The taboo around telling children about death is so goofy to me. Like you know children can just learn about death the way they learn about anything else. It's doesn't have to be a whole thing. If you didn't go out of your way to hide it from them until well after they learned how to speak then is just wouldn't be an upsetting or scary thing to learn about, even though it's kind of inherently scary and upsetting. Like why do you want to add another hard conversation to have with your child. This is an entirely invented problem. It's so insane to me that people will put off telling their child THAT PEOPLE CAN DIE until after a pet or family member has already died. First-time grief is already so hard what appeals about pairing it with a world-shattering revelation. It's like when parents who only teach their kids abstinence, go "see! I told you it's dangerous for teenagers to learn about sex!" when their child comes home with an STD. No, you're just a dumbass.

Randomly live blogging the HSMTMTS S2 finale watch with my native's dub and dying of cringe

Are Nini, Kourtney and Gina all played by the same voice actress?

Are EJ and Ricky played by the same actor?

No they are using slang that no one does anymore

Howie sounds even more sus with dub.

No one talks like this. I never talked like this

They could have given Slices a translated name that would have sounded more natural

The rini scene wasn't so bad

Are miss Jenn and Gina played by the same actress now???

Why is Miss Jenn talking like a teenager?

Menkies also should have given a Finnish name

There are some lines that actually work

They should have just said "Ruusu laulu" not Rose song

...

Yeah l gave up it was too cringy

Society if. And I cannot stress this enough. Me double checking to make sure that tagging was working WORKED AND THE TAGGING WAS WORKING

Hot take apparently but I don't think the Violet Evergarden Movie delivered. Especially, and sadly its main plotline.

Just wanted to put it out there because people seem to adore it and I feel like the those who share my opinion may want to feel like they aren’t alone.

my problem is that i can't write chaptered pieces. this is bc when i write something, the story posseses me and my brain becomes blank and the words flow from my fingertips, and if i'm interrupted or have to stop i will never ever regain that possession, i'll only be able to imitate it to the best of my abilities (which doesn't turn out very well, honestly)

so i struggle through three or four chapters and then go AUGH this is RIDICULOUS it isn't POSSESSING ME and rage quit

also the Possession happens at it's own pace on it's own time, i have less than no choice in the matter

so i can write one shots that are related to various degrees, but not a chaptered work.

I'll just to get it out of my system: teen media is so easily sexualized, because those are adult people who play them. It's so easy to write a 17yo being in a relationship with a 25yo,because the actors are both 30ish actually. Everyone just got used to it. If they got an actual teens playing high schoolers, all those stuff would be at least weird
