Dumb, Yet Pretentious @dumbassesoterica - Tumblr Blog

this blog is for three things:

1) faux intellectualism

2) unnecessarily niche “aesthetics”

3) preserving my legacy for the future historians who study me when I’m dead & famous

If you like those things, you might enjoy this blog. If you don’t like those things, you might not enjoy this blog. Your choice of media consumption is your own.

Quick Facts:

-My name is Rin (but you can call me “hey, you”)

-she/her (although I super don’t care what you use tbh)

-queer in a neurodivergent way

-neurodivergent in a queer way

-certified yearner

-I have an overly complex tag system which you can find explained below the cut (tag system a work in progress)

#pinned info #cool cool cool #probably hobby posts too tbh but I’m sure I’ll be pretentious about them so it’s fine

just got a new hair cut from very long to very short, trying out pin curls for the first time in an long time

#fascinating fashion #pin curls #the new hair cut is nice but a little weird to me still #I feel like I look very different in the mirror #these are def gonna be Berh messy #but that’s kinda my thing it’s fine

ever since i was a little girl i knew i didnt have a competitive spirit

dumbassesoterica

I used to hug people on the soccer field as a child

#reblogs #this is so real lol #like I’m competitive in a silly way but I just love doing things for the fun of them #why do we have to be competing all the time #life stuff

cute little monster cakes at a production of Young Frankenstein The Musical

#theoretical thespian #marvelous music #young frankenstein #young Frankenstein the musical #I went into it with zero expectations #mainly bc I had know idea what to expect #but it was pretty fun for the most part #the Creature in ours was fantastic #he just played lurch in a production of the Addams family musical like last month #and he was great as that too #I honestly didn’t know this musical existed until this season started advertising #but I think it would’ve changed my brain if I’d seen it in high school #was a lot of fun #mostly there’s an iffy part or two ngl #but I don’t care personally i liked it mostly idk #anyway yeah #for the memoir

My biggest writing problem is probably that I just can’t stop writing throuples. Like if there’s going to be a romance plot there’s going to be some weird throuple stuff going on. I just can’t help it, I don’t even mean to do it. I just make the characters and they start slutting all over each other, it’s not my fault

#sillyposting #writeblr #does anyone else have this problem #it happens every time #please help me my kids are starving and my fields are dying #thank you tumblr void #rin speaks #woeful writing

Recently heard the phrase “your principles aren’t principles until they cost you” and it has rewired my brain chemistry a little bit

#thank you tumblr void #rin speaks #stood up for something I believe in to my boss today #me. the biggest bootlicker on the planet. crazy #the problem with this phrase is of course that I have no real principles and I’m just a tumblr sjw #but I guess occasionally I could deign to believe in something #and if I’m going to do that…#I guess I’ve gotta stand up for it #aghuckyeackh #that’s me throwing up about having to follow my principles #okay I’m done now

Switched to RGB flashing last night and then this morning was on the cool color slow fade

#the haunted lamp #thank you tumblr void

Stormed yesterday so we had a towel sitting on the wood stove for the pup

#the princess beast of the keep #cloth mother #she’s a pretty food motivated dog but she is even more affection motivated a lot of the time #I think she’s choosing cloth over wire any day #cloth mother vs wire mother #I should add that to my tag list #anyway #sillyposting #thank you tumblr void #psychology tag #(I don’t think I have a tag for that yet but I also should)

Back to solid green

#the haunted lamp

one of the funniest things that happened early on in my relationship (imo)

My partner is an only child and so he had always heard/seen all the stuff about unrealistic sibling conversations and specifically how siblings refer to each other

Only to be baffled by coming to family events with me bc my siblings and I literally do call each other like, “bro” and “sis” in casual conversation

#sillyposting #thank you tumblr void #rin speaks #I just thought of remembered this and it made me laugh idk #terrific tropes #legendary linguistics #this isn’t really either of those that much but it is to me idk #siblings #family dynamics #sibling dynamics #we bring a kind of ‘talking like npcs’ to the club that normies don’t really like idk

Zeus told me Hera kept torturing his demigod kids so I asked him how many demigod kids he has and he said he just goes down to earth and makes a new demigod afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding demigods to Hera and then Apollo started crying

#has this been done before #it just popped into my head #idk #sillyposting #merry mythology #greek mythology #Apollo is spiritually the daughter in this scenario #it was him or Persephone and I went with him idk #it’s a funny post don’t think about it too much #and also i just made Apollo in baldurs gate so he’s on my mind #anyway whatever

You do not have a moral obligation to feel happy, by the by. You are allowed to feel sad. You are allowed to feel angry. You are allowed to feel bitter. You are allowed to feel confused. You are not a bad person for not feeling happy. You are not a failure for not feeling happy. You just don’t feel happy, and that’s okay

#thank you tumblr void #joyposting #or the opposite #to me there is a lot of joy in recognizing that you don’t have to feel joyful #your joy is not a requirement to make you a good person and that makes it more special to have #rin speaks #feeling in my feelings today #positivity #emotions #this is just a post for me in my bipolarness today tbh #for the memoir

lamp switched back to solid green a few days back, then before i could document it it turned to the rgb blink through again, then before I could l document it it changed again and is now back to the cool color slow fade

#the haunted lamp

Boss: what are you doing right now

Me: going to the bathroom, but I can wait

Boss: can you do [thing] for me?

Me: yeah absolutely

Me: *starts walking away*

Boss: go to the bathroom first

Me: oh cool okay

#genuinely what #work stuff #sillyposting #rin speaks #for the memoir #I will want to record what a loser I am for posterity’s sake after all

On the cool color slow fade again

I think it was briefly on the RGB flash last night also but I wasn’t really paying attention to that
