Will Bite If Provoked

(She/they) Call me Scream if you must speak to me. Garbage blog to occasionally reblog and spew my thoughts at random. This blog is not coherent.

Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember 4 months ago when the CEO of this platform harassed and chased a trans woman off this website just for posting her transition timeline, then chased her to other social media platforms to continue harassing her, and threatened to call the FBI if she continued disputing the multiple dubious terminations of her blogs that did not violate tumblr's terms of service in any way? And despite tumblr staff insisting that the CEO was acting against their interests, the broad transmisogyny evident in the site's culture and moderation policy has still not been adequately addressed?

Remember that staff is continuing to nuke the blogs of trans women even after all of this. Remember this post when they call this site the queerest place on the internet again this month

It's 2 years later. It's gotten worse. Happy pride month.

Hate when young ass anime characters will be dying and they’re just like… yeah…. I’ve lived enough life…. No the fuck you haven’t you are literally in high school! Shut the fuck up!

Every time someone calls a fantasy story based in a realistic, modern world “magical realism” an angel dies btw.

Having friends is better than having no friends but having friends can be sad because sometimes those friends will have to go to bed before you get your demons out and you’ll be left with the house you live in full of people who will never quite understand you as much as they love you and are understanding people simply because they are fundamentally different from you so you gotta just kinda vibrate with everything inside until your friends can talk again

height check. how tall are you people in my phone

also this more applies to higher ed (college, uni, etc.) and ofc not universally applicable bc i don't know how higher ed works in every country, but if you're in school suffering right now, considering taking time off and everyone's telling you 'don't do that! if you do, you'll never go back!'

completely untrue. if you're suffering and you take time (even years, like i did) off to find a way to breathe, address the things making you suffer, etc., one day when you're ready you'll go back to school and even have a chance to enjoy it. imagine!

if taking a break from school makes you realize you never ever ever want to go back because you're that much happier out of school then that's awesome! you were right to quit lol! don't go back!!!!! you'll be fine!

There’s nothing funnier in retrospect than being a very sensitive and sad child but you’re like eight and don’t really have your own music just yet besides maybe like music from stuff you like so you end up getting either real emo to the handful of puddle deep sad for kids songs and/or whatever sad music your parents listen to.

Crying on the floor to Kidz Bop or staring out the car window wistfully to Daniel by Elton John. Your choice.

look. i don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. i don’t think they’re tiger stripes or natural tattooos. i don’t think my acne is beautiful. i don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. i just think they’re human. and i don’t think i have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and sucessful. i don’t think every small detail of my outer appearence needs to be translated into prettiness.

fun fact: this POV is actually called “body neutrality” and it’s SO MUCH more accessible/realistic for a lot of people. it’s based on the idea that the way we look is the least interesting/important thing about who we are, and that our bodies are worthy of respect regardless if they fit the mold of the current beauty ideals.

Today I cried a little bit because I remembered that when Beethoven conducted his ninth symphony for the first time he got a standing ovation and one of the sopranos had to turn him around to see the audience.

I have never recovered from this illustration by Scott Cameron for Barbara Nichol’s “Beethoven Lives Upstairs.”

trust the sopranos to claim credit for the work of a contralto.

The Smiths really does go super well thematically with Evangelion at times but there’s no way to voice that opinion without looking like the saddest virgin loser of all time. Like I’m sorry! God forbid two things that touch upon similar themes have similar fanbases of very sad people.

Avoidance is the worst reaction to stress. Oh this thing is giving me anxiety? And it's something I could prepare for by looking at it more or learning things about the topic? No, I will take psychological damage if I look at it directly. I will still be thinking about it and be stressed though.

I think it’s actually kind of insane that Robert Smith considers “Lovesong” to be “a straightforward love song” because that song has such a haze of melancholy over it to me. That’s a cry in my car song.

I think this mainly has to do with how I see “Lovesong” as a piece of Disintegration more than how it is viewed as a solitary piece of music. There’s just this sort of morbid, morose, wistful feeling. I do think it is the outward and direct expression of love, but when you look at how an outward and direct expression of love fits in the within the whole of Disintegration, it just takes on a different tone for me.

Like the entire album to me has always come across like the feelings of a someone very concerned with death, but neither from the point of view of someone who is dying nor from the point of view of someone who is suicidal. Just someone who fears that their life may end soon, perhaps because of their lifestyle, or just a general worry about the fragility of life. And more than being concerned with dying, there’s I think a fear for what and who is going to be left behind.

And I just can’t help but see how this touches “Lovesong,” in a way. It makes it seem almost like a goodbye, but not in a literal sense. Like a “just in case,” goodbye. For when the “however long I stay” ends.
