A weirdo's tumblr @chibiyanai - Tumblr Blog

I’m growing so fucking tired and disheartened by people who cannot even let THEMSELVES enjoy things!!!! I’ve definitely said things along these lines before and I’ve felt these things when I was less secure in myself but my god seeing people online saying “the way I’m a __ year old laying in bed smiling at/attracted to [insert character from movie/tv who was specifically handcrafted to be attractive] from a PRETEND movie/tv show/novel.. am I cooked?”

Cooked-????? COOKED???? YOU’RE JUST CONSUMING MEDIA ‼️‼️‼️ THAT’S THE MOST NORMAL THING IN THE WORLD ‼️‼️‼️ ART IS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED ‼️‼️‼️ THE MAN WAS MADE TO BE HANDSOME ‼️‼️‼️ THE TV SHOW WAS MEANT TO BE WATCHED AND LIKED ‼️‼️‼️ THE MOVIE WAS MEANT TO BE APPRECIATED ‼️‼️‼️ YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKES IT AND IT’S NOT WEIRD FOR YOU TO LIKE IT ‼️‼️‼️ SOMEONE MADE THAT SO YOU COULD LIKE IT ‼️‼️‼️ APPRECIATE IT ‼️‼️‼️

Smile at the art you like. Smile at the man you think is handsome. Someone made him for you. Who cares if it’s nerdy or embarrassing. Everyone likes at least one thing that’s nerdy or embarrassing. Especially if you’re alone in your bedroom, let yourself relax!!! Enjoy the anakin skywalker TikTok edit!!! Enjoy the TLOU fanfiction!!!!

The notion that you’re crazy or immature for liking pretend things comes from the belief that fictional stories from art and literature and media are less valuable than real experiences because they didn’t really happen. This is not true. “It’s not even real!!” It is still impactful and worth something!

Now you don’t need to project said anakin skywalker edit onto the side of your house for all to see, but you’re telling me that in your bed at home alone, you’re embarrassed to like it??? Please be nicer to yourself than that. Why are you bullying yourself? Allow yourself joy. Relax.

Facts!🤭

People who were spoiled as children (or are spoiled children) are usually depicted as unpleasant monsters who insist on getting their way always, and for sure they exist but I’ve also met a lot of spoiled people, children or adults, who were super nice and generous because they were brought up with the knowledge that if they let someone else have something or give away one of their possessions they’d just get another one and that carries over into adulthood where they might not get another one but they still don’t feel the same attachment to material things.

So in my experience whether spoiled people are unpleasant have more to do with the values instilled in them by their parents as well as their general personality. I know one boy who won’t give anyone anything despite his parents giving him everything he wants and another who will hand you his entire birthday cake if you ask because he trusts that you’ll share it with him and if not his mom will get him another.

So nice spoiled people in fiction like Carlotte from Princess and The Frog aren’t unrealistic but they are probably a lot less satisfying for a lot of people.
