I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.
And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.
The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.
The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

sherlock holmes deduces you are trans before you've figured it out yourself and refers to you with those pronouns and then when you look confused is like "ah...had you not arrived at that conclusion yet?" and wafts away in his dressing gown to smoke seventeen pipes, leaving you in a gender crisis

This post sucks not because of me or anything bc im always right but bc it blew up and everyone started talking about shrek who is the most human monster you could have and i feel like it defeats the point of the post. yes he Is still a monster, undeniably, but this post was about girls with too many limbs and too many eyes and too many teeth and a mouth that opens too wide. girls with scales and claws and fangs and a jaw that seems perfectly sized for your head and finding beauty and grace and love in all of it. it was NOT about Green Dreamworks Man

One of my major pet peeves with Jekyll & Hyde adaptations is that they always give Hyde the Hulk-treatment by turning him into this large, monstrous creature when in the book he actually becomes smaller and younger after his transformation?! No, for real, he SHRINKS. And he's not exactly monstrous or ugly; his vibes are just rotten. People tend to describe an encounter with him as "I cannot put my finger on it but something was just OFF about this guy." Vibe check failed. Imagine this mellow, middle-aged, dad-bod gentleman suddenly turning into a nasty frat boy who just automatically evokes a flight-or-fight response in you. Like, you just take one look and instinctively go "Ew, he looks like a terrifying asshole, I want to deck him in the face." That's Edward Hyde.

A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.
Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, he’s just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because it’s framed as a punishment.
Another family use a baseball cap. It’s just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When they’re out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell he’s being punished because it’s in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.
And there isn’t the same contempt afterwards I’ve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said “Sorry Ellie” and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.

vampirism poses the question "what if there was a fundamental, horrible, unending well of want in your soul that, if truly satisfied, would lead to great pain for all those you hold closest and, in turn, their absolute and total revilement of you?" and naturally as a person with no problems I don't relate to this in any way at all.
