idkidk it’s hard for me to sufficiently emphasise just how deeply plagiarism has affected me and the way I post. I think for anyone who has dealt with plagiarism or had their ideas lifted, there is a bit of a bruise that never really goes away? it can totally sap the joy out of not only writing but engaging in the community—having similar concepts is not a crime and can be a great way to connect with others. now it just makes me extremely wary and stirs up a lot of unpleasant feelings. I know it’s nice to have two cakes and you’ll all eat it happily but if the other person has used the exact same recipe I’m going to feel a bit shit. hell the other person might feel shit about it too idk 💀 this is poorly articulated ksksks

i’m thinking about this post/image
and the thing is though… they don’t mean the same thing.
they convey the same message: “i’m going to x event/place” but the underlying tone about how the speaker FEELS about going to the event isn’t actually the same.
so to make this incredibly simple:
I’M UP FOR IT -> usually implies that the event in question isn’t really something you’re excited for but it’s something that you do have the physical ability to do, and there isn’t like a good reason NOT to do it, so you’ll go.
ie:
a: are you going to suzy’s party tomorrow?
b: eh, yeah, i’m up for it
which is saying that b doesn’t really want to go to suzy’s party (for one reason or another) but they don’t have a good reason not to go so they’ll be there.
I’M DOWN -> implies the exact opposite. you’re excited for whatever it is that you’re doing.
ie:
a: are you going to brent’s party tomorrow?
b: HELL YEAH! i’m so down.
why this phenomena exists is definitely the question. because you would think that up being “high” would be a good thing and “down” would be the opposite.
but i think a good way to think about it is if you contextualize it in the sense of a hill: it’s easier to go downhill than it is to go uphill. i can go down that hill no problem vs. i can go uphill but it’s a bit more work.
i know no one really ASKED for a real explanation bc it’s a joke about how english makes no sense as a language; but every language has its own slangs and idioms that are fascinating once you get into the weeds about them so, here we are in the weeds.
