I'm a fish. I draw things sometimes. He/him. 21+. Most of my art lately is from my Metalocalypse sideblog (fishklok)

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

Getting ultra banned from art fight cause I accidentally looked at one of these out of the corner of my eye while drawing my attack

My ig algorithm has been showing me more law student/lawyer reels, so now I’ve been playing a little game I call

Teenagers are like that because every problem feels the same amount of Catastrophic. There's no sense of scale going on there cause they lack frame of reference. This isn't the fault of The Teenager but it does explain the Discourse Circles I was in when I was younger. Like it operates in both "blowing shit that doesn't matter WAY out of proportion" and "not taking Real Problems seriously enough". This is why dni banners are like that

[tlirsgender]

I fear the only cure for this is to simply stop being a teenager. If you're an adult and still like this I hope you stop being a teenager soon

Every time I go to the barber I make sure to do the thing where I zone out with a neutral facial expression that says “yeah I’m supposed to be here.” But really I want to ask the barber what each tool is like an excited little kid.

I love Mike Flanagan’s work for how he thoughtfully and interestingly approaches topics like generational trauma, religious corruption, and what if Edgar Allen Poe systematically killed off the entire Sakler family

[bluebeardsfinalgirl]

when internet people are like “i love gothic literature but i hate anything that discusses incest, sexual violence, oppression, misogyny, abuse, torture, gore, murder, or death”

[bluebeardsfinalgirl]

no actually me and everyone else who’s ever watched crimson peak were brainwashed by guillermo del toro into believing that incest and violence are cool and awesome. sorry

Horrifying that this pearl-clutching over horror actually being dark is unironically becoming A Thing…

Write the problematic thing. Make people uncomfortable. Create art!

[thebibliosphere]

The tags are actually mine, and I need you all to know when I said "girl," I actually meant "young woman of 23 years old," and the brainrot was so deep she tried to get us all to sit down as a class and vote as to whether or not we thought the designated reading with its dark themes were appropriate reading for a classroom.

For a Gothic Horror Literature class at university level.

There was not a single person in that room under the age of 20. We were all adults, mere months away from graduating with our bachelor degrees, and this person felt comfortable trying to police us and the class contents like we were five.

Needless to say, we did not participate in a vote. Nor did the professor call her stupid to her face, no matter how much she might have wanted to. Instead, she invited anyone who felt uncomfortable to drop the class. Bafflingly, the student who complained didn't leave, but she made damn sure to let us know during every class discussion that she didn't agree with the morality of the texts.

And this wasn't recent. This was over 15 years ago, long before TikTok, so this was home-brewed idiocy likely strained through the puritanical discourse of some LiveJournal flamewar.

Basically, what I'm getting at is 'what's old is new again.'

The only difference is now everyone's got access to the Internet via the smartphone in their pocket, and they're making their ignorance everyone else's problem on a much larger scale.

I didn't post a link to it on my blog because the podcast doesn't have a text transcript on the Webpage, but this last Sunday (12 October, 2024) I listened to the radio show With Good Reason.

And in an interview on the history of horror movies, German Studies Professor Jenny Taylor, of William and Mary College, pointed out [paraphrasing from here on out] that the genre of horror movie was invented by filmmakers in the Wiemar Republic, as the society came to terms with the horrors of losing the First World War ...

And there were no horror movies made in Nazi Germany, because authoritarian regimes hate it when people take the time to examine their anxieties. And that when the horror genre starts to die out, that's a sign that the country's democracy is in trouble.

graffiti discourse is so stupid why the hell would I give a shit if people spraypaint their names or do some cool paintings under a bridge
