thank god vampirism is a flexible metaphor

[quietwingsinthesky]

it’s about being queer it’s about surviving assault it’s about alienation and most of all it’s about how everyone who loved you before might not be able to even look at you now, no matter how many times you try to explain that you didn’t ask to die and you didn’t ask for that death to leave you only half-eaten when it got bored of you.

[marypsue]

This is without even mentioning the broader metaphorical implications of disease and contagion; foreign invasion; colonial or imperial violence; interpersonal abuse; generational trauma; religious trauma; violent cultural assimilation; repressed or suppressed desire; the fear of no longer being able to recognise or relate to someone you love; and on and on and on.

Vampirism is a flexible metaphor that reflects the anxieties and desires of its age and its authors, and I love that for it!

if i had a time machine, first thing id do is obviously kill hitler. even if germanys fascism was caused by complex socioeconomic factors itd still be worth doing for the bit. then id go even further back to the early 20th century and become one of those old timey bank robbers, when they had names like 'pretty boy floyd' and 'baby face nelson' and id make sure people knew me as 'sweet baby ray' just to see how it fucks with barbeque sauce history

Six days and still no Wednesday. I think it's safe to conclude that there will be no more Wednesdays ever

people should be allowed to have low ambition, and also be able to feed a family on the salary of a cashier at a convenience store.

[kidsomeday]

My very first job was at Taco Bell, and most of us working there were horrible young adults with horrible young adult problems, but one of my coworkers was a woman in (I think) her 50s.

And us horrid young adults would ask her why she still worked at Taco Bell, because it was starter job and who would want to stay there forever? Her response?

“I make enough money to make sure I always have roses in my bedroom.”

This answer changed me as a person. It changed the way I thought about what makes someone successful, and made me step back and realize that I was so caught up in what I thought success and happiness should mean that I didn’t know what I wanted them to mean.

Which is to say that sometimes ambition is making enough money to keep fresh roses in your bedroom, and you should be able to do that working at Taco Bell.

[kyraneko]

Another dimension to this concept is that housing and other necessities should be available in types and at price points that allow for having a family or affording roses on Taco Bell wages.

The fact that every apartment is a luxury apartment nowadays and every house built is a McMansion is a problem. The fact that you cannot buy a one-bedroom home on a small lot from a supply readily available, cannot buy a small patch of land and put a tiny home on it, cannot secure financing or local permission to build a one-bedroom home in a lot of places, cannot downsize housing to live "within your means" or within your actual, uninflated needs in order to prioritize spending elsewhere, is a problem.

It's not just that the wages at a huge percentage of the job market are insufficient, it's also that every market for non-negotiable necessities like housing is engineered to extract excess value from you whether you want what you're forced to pay for or not.

character who is sun-coded but not in the traditional ray-of-sunshine way. character who is sun-coded in the sense that they burn hot and bright and powerful, that they're a raging fury of fire and passion, and that maybe, just maybe, they are destroying themselves as they do so.

[binabees]

character who is moon-coded but not in the moody grumpy way. character who is moon-coded in the way they shine brightly in darkness guiding others. a character that is moon-coded with all their darker sides no one else can see. that they are lonely and lovely. doomed to watch on as the the person who gives them their light slowly destroys themselves taking the light with them.
