Ours is what the French theorist Guy Debord called the "society of the spectacle," which he described as occurring in "an epoch without festivals." Instead of generating their own collective pleasures, people absorb, or consume, the spectacles of commercial entertainment, nationalist rituals, and the consumer culture, with its endless advertisements for the pleasure of individual ownership. Debord bemoaned the passivity engendered by constant spectatorship, announcing that "the spectacle is the nightmare of imprisoned modern society which ultimately expresses nothing more than its desire to sleep."

machine of the cloth

personas are a really funny concept i think. like... in-universe, the characters will look at a god, a historical figure, or sometimes just another real-ass human being they know personally and just be like "he just like me fr" and bam. that's their cool new buddy

It’s so obvious when the girls want a hit post or to be seen. 😭 Nothing else on the page, just this dumb ass fucking post. It’s really the equivalent to those stupid fucking bait tweets on Twitter that try to start discourse just for engagement. Please for the love of God and all things good, stop feeding into these stupid bitches, they want attention.

Ok but which members of the batfamily speak with a jersey accent?

culture clash punched me in the face when i read that you don't have a passport. like WHA

like why would I have a passport when plane tickets from the states into Any Other Country cost upwards of 1k, i don't go on "holiday", bc i don't have that kind of time, and my family doesn't even have the money to replace the 2003 PT Cruiser we've been driving into the ground

If you don't think he's cute in his shadow demon form, you don't deserve him in his face-he-copied-from-a-priest-he-knows form 😤

EDIT: Post Cancelled everyone go look up the authors first Manga "Futari no Renai Shoka". Ngl fam thats some creepy shit. Really recontextualises Mahou and sadly Elias too for me 🙃 bye

EDIT 2 BECAUSE MAYBE I WASNT CLEAR ENOUGH: the authors first manga was about a 20yo or so woman immediately proposing to a 15 year old boy (oh look the same age as Chise! And even the same set up!) And THEY GET TOGETHER AT THE END.

To reiterate, a romance series between a child who just entered high school and a ADULT WITH A JOB

Can't stop anyone from liking that crap. But if your defense is 'oh its not really romantic' or 'oh Elias is just a child too' hahaha fuck that. That excuse does not fly when the author has done this multiple times.

Personally it makes me fucking sick, which I hate because i've loved this story for years and made so many excuses for it. But holy fucking shit coming back to it as an adult. So much is creepy. Nothing was stopping Yamazaki from writing Chise as 18-20. it would not have effected the story.

tldr: Kore Yamazaki has written multiple stories about a child being romantically involved with an adult and thats fucked!!

Person A: “Look, (Person B) might be the leader in name, but we all know who’s really in charge around here.”

Person A, C, and D simultaneously: “(Person E).”

hello 911

when there’s another danganronpa idk

Hey! I can't remember if you ever found out what the red flower vines on Frank's house could be, but I think I found a candidate! It's called the Red Mandevilla Vine and their meaning is interesting

OHHH THAT'S THE BITCH!!! that's gotta be the bitch!!! i'm stuck between that one and the red trumpet vine, but i think you probably Got It. hopefully... god i'm gonna be chewing on this all night aren't i

if anyone is curious, this ask is referencing This Post i made about neighborhood observations / flower symbolism

My favorite part about statements is when the statement giver says something to the effect of “I knew I shouldn’t do___” or “I shouldn’t have opened___”

Because it’s like…

Yeah you’re right you shouldn’t have.

But I bet you did it anyways !!

If anything what I’m learning from TMA is that as much as everyone absolutely trashes on the protagonists of horror films, we’re all no better than them.

Admit it. You’d look in the box. You’d open a door if there was a mysterious meaty smell coming from it. Let’s be honest here.
