-i say this in the following dot point also but charlie brooker is my other biggest obsession as of right now and also the past like year now. i could talk about him for literal hours
-right now my other biggest obsession is comedy stuff, especially would i lie to you & of course david mitchell + lee mack. and i’m also insanely obsessed with charlie brooker for reasons that are at this point a bit hard to explain but please feel free to ask me about literally anything comedy related i would be overjoyed
(p.s. if you see me talking about a “cb” or “charlie” or just “brooker” then im talking about charlie brooker, unless i’ve specified otherwise. i do that cos i don’t wanna clog up the search results *too* much lol)
-franz ferdinand is one of my other biggest obsessions. please please ask me about them i am sosososo autistic abt them. (to clarify i mean rhe band)
-also I LIKE TO DRAW!! my art + my other creations (ie. gifs and the like) are all under the “#my art” tag on this blog if you wanna have a look
rn im also into northern exposure (currently rewatching it!) and nirvan(n)a the band the show (+ various other associated pieces of media)
more interests, my ao3, my websites, other accounts and sort of ‘dni’ below the cut!
*slenderman voice* decorate my tree
💥‼️currently very obsessed with franz ferdinand (again the band not the guy), comedy in general & the show ‘would i lie to you’ (but especially these folks: david mitchell, lee mack and charlie brooker + the series ‘the trip’) (also MANY different tv comedies and comedians and so on), horror stuff, saw, homestuck, aaaaand mormonism + jehovahs witnesses (I DO NOT SUPPORT EITHER!! they are both cults and i merely have an interest in how they function and things related to them as a whole)‼️💥 + more listed below
i post and rb about a variety of things but mainly homestuck, camp here and there, spn, the last dragon chronicles, house md, comedy, as well as fob, mcr, franz ferdinand and a variety of other music adjacent things 👍
- ‼️ i like to rpf post i like to read rpf and i like to draw rpf ‼️ if youre uncomfortable with rpf that is a-okay and i understand & respect that, i’m still happy to be mutuals provided you arent like. a jerk or whatever lol. i’m also super interested in the concept of rpf itself and the relationships between fiction & reality, creator & audience, etc. so like if you wanna have a discussion about rpf (no matter your opinion on it) i’d be very happy to oblige!
^ note that i am NOT a genuine tinhatter and all rpf-style things i say are firmly in the realm of fiction, even if i like to talk like i believe it irl ultimately i respect that i don’t know these people and it’s not my place to make genuine assumptions about their personal lives
ao3 is driftwoodGrockles ! i have three (3) fics including a tldc ending rewrite you should totally read it

insane blonde gay not conventionally attractive but very hot to a certain niche of the fanbase who only cares about having a good time and keeping their best friend close to the point of severely holding them back. also insane but significantly less crazy friendly best friend with actual talent who would be very well off and successful on their own conventionally attractive dark haired bisexual. visibly low budget which is part of the charm, the environment is its own character. also enter bushworld :: ntbtstm
anyway i love nonlinear narratives, i love it when it's unclear where a story begins or ends, i love it when they're fragmented by recollection and perspective and record, i love it when no narrator is truly omniscient or objective or infallible however much they might wish to convince you otherwise. i love narratives that misremember their own details, that present them with equal consideration for others to evaluate and determine reality from fiction, truth from illusion; naratives that are themselves psychotic. i love narratives that double back on themselves, that go around and around in circles they can't break off from, and make no sense on a map. i love it when time is out of joint!!!
every time I see someone from outside australia (or inside australia tbh) say “everything in australia wants to kill you lol” I want to scream. you are buying into colonial narratives! you are reinforcing the construction of the “aussie battler”! you are ignoring the way first nations people have lived with the land for centuries! you are participating in the homogenisation of australia in your belief that this is a land that needs to be tamed! shut up shut up shut up
as much as i love all the wild mass theorising i do think the simplest explanation for matt johnson's whole deal is kinda just that marilyn frye quote about straight men only being heterosexual insofar as they sleep with women and all their respect and affection is for other men
throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!
WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's
and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.
we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.
all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?
it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!
Black people will never stop talking about this, but when we are on sites such as Tumblr, where so many of the white people feel that not only are they not racist, but that calling their racist behavior racist is emotional warfare on them, they will make sure to keep Black voices as silenced as possible.
Also, a lot of the Black people who got deleted or run off of the site weren't even accused of any type of Russian anything. A lot of them were just run the fuck off by the white Tumblr base on harassment shit.
