Sometimes my job is a pain but sometimes a middle aged woman comes to the circ desk asking if we have Inu-Oh on dvd to which I say ‘Inu-Oh??? The 2021 animated film by Masaaki Yuasa?’ To which she says ‘Yes! That one! Last time I checked it out it was on the staff recommendation display’ to which I say ‘I was the staff member who recommended it!’ and then she says she loved it so much that she’s screening it for her friends.

I didn’t miss that social cue I just thought it was stupid

#an autobiography #skravler #*editing tags to add: ftr i dont like the addition to this post and it was not meant to have the 'use your words like an Adult' tone #it's abt refusing to play out bad/bigoted/uncomfortable/pointless social scripts; not abt fighting passive aggression w more of it #and calling yourself a real adult for it

it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...

#the picture of dorian gray #lit #this is a pointless text post #guess what i read for the first time in the year of our lord 2023 #and yes this is a real review on storygraph that i took a screenshot of. you people are so stupid god bless #girl he literally censored it himself did your edition have 0 introduction or background at all #greatest (s)hits #book discourse

honestly just in general it's very exhausting to try to analyze media that is literally meant to be analyzed, only for the replies to be filled with people arguing not against your analysis, but against the premise that the media can be analyzed at all.

i don't even know what to say about it without starting to really betray my frustration, so i'll just settle with— just don't engage with analysis posts? I'm serious. if you're typing a response to a media analysis post, reread what you've written and ask yourself "is this comment/response against the very concept of analyzing the media at all?" and if the answer is yes then delete it all and go sit in the shame corner. throw your curtains away if you want to so bad and stop telling me that I'm not allowed to hum and haw at the fact mine are blue

#ml fandom salt #I suppose #and no amount of adding ''stop telling me to not analyze the media'' on my analysis posts stops people from saying it anyway #and yes. the leaks count. stop telling me that the existence of outdated leaks invalidates all analyses of the completed material #and no. just like every other time i've said this. me saying that i don't care about the leaks is not an invitation for you to try to #convince me to care about the leaks #do i tag this spoilers? it feels weird to. i mean this to be a vague overarching thing about media in general #also of course any ''or maybe the writers are just bad'' arguments ALSO are included in this. YOU guys have been my bane since FOREVER #would you guys consider commenting on fanart with ''umm.... drawing seems pretty pointless lmao'' rude?#i know this is not the first time i've made a post like this and i'm sure it won't be the last

my heart warms at how ride or die they are for one another

but can we talk about the untapped potential of kiara x drake?? like if ur romancing the prince and in the background there’s a storyline hiding of k&d getting jiggy with it and he’s just like ...i shouldnt. she’s a noble. i’m a nobody. it’s nothing. and goes through intense imposter syndrome and kiara can’t handle his emotions so mc has to build a boy back up

really what I’m saying here is that Drake needs a strong woman in his life always

I'm so goddamn oblivious all the time and sometimes someone pokes their head into my bubble to let me know shit like "You know Kate from work hates your guts, right? She's always rolling her eyes and talking about u" And I wish I was the kinda person who didn't care but it genuinely just makes me sad cause. Like. Why?? I mind my business. I try to be kind and helpful. Hate and dislike takes up so much energy. Why are they using so much energy on me?? I don't even think about them. We never interact. I'm in a different department. They could never see me again if they decided they didn't wanna. And the whole time I thought they were nice. Can't we all just do our jobs and go home. Why it gotta be like this. Why is this everywhere. I don't wanna have beef with anyone I wanna read fantasy fiction and take a nap

#Vent post #I'm so tired #I have never wanted drama it's so pointless #Can't we just be polite #It doesn't seem hard #I don't even talk to anybody here

Sorry for dream posting but I'm still reeling from this dream I had fsdhsdg So, some tech company partnered up with a store like Macy's or Target and they both went all in on fashion dolls that you could make to look like yourself. You could buy your outfits at the store and then buy tiny, doll-sized versions! The tech company played in with the dolls having 'brains', which they said would have all of your memories and personality! But these dolls were essentially customizable Barbies, they couldn't talk or anything, and the brain service was subscription based so few people paid an extra $20 for the doll to openly collect their data. Anyway, since a lot of money was put into these and No One Was Playing Correctly, the companies behind it decided to do a Hail Mary and released a series of webcomics about celebrities' likenesses dolls living together. This resulted not in the sales of more dolls, but an explosion of 'technically but not really' RPF being written about Orville Peck and John Boyega('s dollsonas).

#this was a pointless post #I know reading about people's dreams isn't always fun. but. there was a punchline to this.

genuinely i think it's important for adults, especially in the plague times, to play pretend in our day-to-day lives. when i rub my back down with tiger balm so i can sleep without pain, i imagine i am a valiant knight tending to an old injury i received from a dragon. when i go to the store to pick up eggs and milk, i am a lone cowboy riding into town on a mission. when i turn my collar up against the wind i am a femme fatale who's killed 4 husbands and is scoping out a 5th. when i stomp around in the snow i am a doomed polar explorer. if being a little bit silly about my walk to the pharmacy helps me remember that life can be full of joy and whimsy, then so be it.

#this is a pointless text post #my most embarrassing version of this is that whenever it was foggy at the lighthouse i imagined i was emily bronte #or that i was taking a walk in the fog with my good friend emily bronte :^)#so much of this is also tied into the fact that my body hurts all the goddamn time #i am trying to make my pain something i can live with #is this gonna be how i learn that normal people don't daydream about being In The Past #anyway do u guys imagine these sort of scenarios too or am i just a freak #greatest (s)hits
