"dude its not that embarassing to rewatch some creepypasta stuff you liked as a teenager" the character i imprinted on like a baby duck at 16 was a demon from new jersey that acts like the humanization of every offspring song and canonically listens to scissor sisters. His favorite color is purple and his favorite pokemon is Gengar. He leaves people notes with emojis on them. He acts like a beetlejuice scare actor at halloween horror nights. His catchphrase is "feeling sassy?" Hes (allegedly) worked with every war criminal throughout history and been every serial killer. even the gay ones. he ate a baby. his animal motif is a rabbit. hes kind of based off donnie darko. he talks to his cats in a baby voice. he wears a white fedora that makes every video he wears it in feel dated by like 7 years. hes 5'3. he hacked a girls tumblr blog. he added a laugh track over a video of him killing people. he named a chainsaw rex. he torments people by playing frank sinatra at them. his name comes from an animal collective song. theres a canon blog entry where he makes the speakers blare rob zombie before he enters a room, then holds a guy at gunpoint to describe what he did to to him while "making sure to leave in all the cool parts". Hes like ten tumblr sexymen traits rolled into one. Sometimes his voice gets distorted and it makes him sound like Bill Ciphers first year on HRT. For some fucking reason i associate the song Cake By The Ocean with him. I firmly believe that if everymanhybrid didn't require a masters degree in creepypasta autism to comprehend, he would've caused more teenage stabbings than the slenderman incident and more kin war tumblr scenarios than nagito komaeda.

I am vegetarian and trying to cut down on dairy mostly bc of influence from animal rights stuff environmental reasons. My ethical reasoning on meat is basically that I’m weirded out by the idea of keeping an animal alive and caring for it and then killing it. Beyond that, I do not believe I could kill a farm animal for meat or ask someone else to do it for me. I have really strong empathy for animals and always have. That’s a personal thing tho and not something I apply to other ppl. Another factor is I just never liked meat that much. There’s meat I miss like lamb and good steak, but it wasn’t hard for me to stop eating meat. I wanted to be a vegetarian as a child bc I had sudden cognitive dissonance between my love of animals and what was on my plate, I realized it had been a living being, and it freaked me out, but I was forced to continue eating meat by my parents. In freshman year of college I watched a film analysis which included footage of slaughterhouses and I stopped eating meat right then and there.

But fish was a different matter. I think bc many fish are wild caught and also bc I’ve seen fish killed and gutted and not been repulsed by it, it never bothered me as much. I have come to respect fish intelligence and their life and being, but I would probably still eat fish on occasion if not for environmental reasons. I like fish a lot, all kinds of fish, and dearly miss it, but I stopped eating fish when I learned about overfishing of the ocean and the projected collapse of global fisheries within the next 20-25 years.

I try to cut down on dairy for several reasons. For one I don’t like how it makes me feel, I feel especially gross after cheese but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying it fairly often. I’ve found milk much easier to cut out just bc of how many good replacements there are. I also think a lot about the torture and mistreatment of dairy cows and the environmental impact of animal agriculture so that’s another thing that drives it. I’m not actively trying to eliminate dairy from my diet but almost all of the food I’m learning to cook is vegan bc I would prefer to cut down on it. I’m not obsessive about eating totally ethically bc I don’t believe it’s possible and i think it can play into moralizing and disordered eating.

Basically my relationship to these concepts is complicated. Like I am a person w a bleeding heart for animals but I don’t expect all people to feel the same way. I don’t think eating meat is unethical for everyone, nor is animal agriculture. The reason I’m defensive about veganism and animal rights is I genuinely believe we need to change our consumption habits and treatment of animals for a better future. It’s not about animal rights vs human rights and both vegans and anti-vegans fall into this. We are all on this planet together and our fate is shared.
