I saw another post about the Zepotha thing on tiktok and I wanted to throw in my two cents.
At first I was confused why everyone was just saying the same thing and then I was mad when I found out that it was supposed to be a joke about a fake movie or tv show or whatever the fuck.
It reminded me of Goncharov and how differently tumblr users handled that trend.
I think the thing that makes me so mad about the tiktok trend is that it’s so unoriginal and so unfunny it’s actually infuriating. Especially when the creator of the tiktok thats receiving comments like this also doesn’t understand what’s going on. Every other week there’s a new trend on tiktok of a bunch of people spam commenting some random “inside joke” phrase and they think it makes them cool. And when someone kindly explains that zepotha isn’t a real thing they get all defensive and nasty.
What would be cool and funny is if the fandom or the creator has an inside joke or a phrase that the fans say or comment because then everyone is in on it and it’s like a community thing. Like commenting some random comment on some random tiktok isn’t funny.
The thing about goncharov that made it so great was that EVERYONE was in on the joke (on tumblr anyway). Everyone could participate. Everyone was adding their ideas. It was collaborative and it was fun and everyone was right.
Commenting “you look like _____ from zepotha” on every tiktok you see and then refusing to include people in on the joke isn’t funny and it’s not cool.
Like I don’t want this to seem like I hate it when people have fun or I hate trends or whatever. Because I don’t. I literally don’t care what you do for fun and I love trends. But you don’t have to be mean about it when someone is trying to understand/learn more. If your version of fun is telling this inside joke and then actively excluding other people and getting upset when someone explains the joke I think you need to reevaluate.

I don’t think I’m ever going to emotionally recover from having P03 fucking just. Copy the only card I have out and it’s a fucking grizzly. And then proceed to still beat him. First try. When it took multiple tries on the other 3. Fucking gods.
I think my heart rate is still high from that

vet appointment has been achieved for tomorrow. I am a bit worried that she’ll treat me like an irresponsible child and that our previous vet won’t send me whatever extent of “files” they have on her in time but other than that

Tomorrow we’re going to a child free wedding which means tonight I’m packing the kids’ bags to spend the night with their grandma. Or rather, I’m packing the bag for the girls now and I already packed my sons this morning because he needed two night with grandma instead of just one.
It’s the baby’s first sleepover 🥺 this will be my first time away from her for more than 3-4 hours since she was born 9 months ago. She’s going to be fine and it’s very much needed but I have so much anxiety still. I’m looking forward to this weekend for sure but I’m also already looking forward to the moment I get to hug my babies again.

today in Mental Health Wins, my car is not starting to get me home from work for unknown reasons and I am not even crying or super upset about it, I’m just calmly handling the situation 😌

don’t mind me, just rambling about my new job:
we are processing all priorities (high ie: fire/burglary/panic alarms as well as low ie: trouble/supervisory/etc signals) all day until 2:30pm (we work 8am-4:30pm) and tbqh i would rather perish in a terrible fire lmfao but hopefully i just get a majority of low priorities and not a majority of high priorities OR hopefully people keep canceling before i dispatch 😂🤞🏻 also i’ve been so terrified of quality assurance and getting fired for being bad at my job but nobody has ever been fired due to quality assurance scores because the cool thing about this company is that they actually put their employees through training again and HELP THEM SUCCEED rather than punishing them which i mean the bar is in hell but it is very nice to know that i am not going to be fired if i make a few mistakes 🤷🏼♀️
