Found a Buddhist monk on TikTok who rates sad indie music
me: [listens to own playlist] me: fucking masterpiece
“I don’t want to be a burden” you’re more like a relief, a gift, a blessing actually
“i dont want to be a burden” dude i found the point of it all thanks to you. i realised the joy of existing is doing so with you bro
"i don't want to be a burden" you're worth carrying. i don't care if you'd be worth it to you; you're worth it to me. i smile every time i think of you. and buddy you're just gonna have to figure out how to cope w that <3
"I don't want to be a burden" human hands and arms and hearts are made for carrying.
fuck i’m trying to catch all these flies but they think my vinegar is stupid. i have honey also but that’s for me i can’t give them any of that

Can I ask what tower prep is?
Oh man. Tower Prep was a 2010 live action Cartoon Network show. It did not get renewed after the first season. The plotting, writing, and acting are all massively, comically uneven, and I can’t in good conscience say that it’s objectively good, but it is genuinely one of my favorite found family stories. Like I said in the last post (reblogged from my main) it’s the first place that I encountered and fell in love with a bunch of my favorite tropes.
The plot, as best as I can remember it: Ian is a fifteen year old kid, who gets in trouble at school for fighting bullies. He always wins these fights because, somehow unknown to him, he’s slightly precognitive and he can predict his opponent’s moves. One day he falls asleep and wakes up in a dorm room at Tower Prep.
Tower Prep is a high school for teenagers with minor superpowers. All of them woke up there one day with no memory of leaving their homes. It’s clear fairly quickly that they’re all being experimented on to various extents. One of the key mysteries of the series is whether they were kidnapped or sent away by their guardians, and the question of whether their parents are complicit in the unethical experimentation gets pretty distressing at points, for a children’s show.
Ian is understandably freaked out, and tries to escape, a bunch of times. He meets three other kids who have been at the school for a while, and are plotting escape together. Gabe is a hypnotist, CJ is supernaturally good at reading body language, and Suki is a perfect vocal mimic. The show is hilariously bad at remembering what everyone’s powers are and the characters regularly forget to use them when they would be useful.
Some actually good and creepy worldbuilding elements: none of the teachers at the school have names, they’re referred to exclusively by the subject they teach, and it’s eventually strongly implied that they’re all ex students still held captive by the administration. The day to day operations of the school are managed by an AI, and it slowly becomes clear that she’s straining against the bounds of her programming to protect the students. The student body is intensely competitive about a sport called ‘buffer’ which is sort of football hockey with three teams on roller skates. A lot of the episodes in some way involve the elaborate system of urban legends that the student body tells about the school, and it’s a surprisingly interesting portrayal of a subculture based around being kidnapped for your superpowers and forced to pretend nothing is wrong. The consequences for misbehavior include both normal things and completely horrifying threats (in particular, permanent solitary confinement and implicitly brainwashing) and everyone, including eventually Ian, acts like this totally makes sense.
It’s one of the funniest things about the show, and also the most fridge horror-y, the sudden changes in tone. One episode, the four kids are huddled together in the attic comforting each other that surely their parents didn’t mean for them to be kidnapped and tortured for their superpowers (there’s no onscreen torture or even explicit discussion of it, but it’s definitely implied that kids are sometimes awake for medical procedures before their memories are wiped), then the next episode the premise is “CJ wants to throw a prom but the school rules are too restrictive :(” and you have to take a step back and say wait did you guys forget that you’re being held captive? And some of that is definitely just weird writing, but some of it is also intentional and it’s incredibly creepy and effective, because the kids have mostly adjusted well enough to pretend, under threat from the faculty, that everything is normal. But they’re all scared and confused and lots of the kids have some version of an escape plan, but some of those kids are banking on graduating first, which is risky because no one knows what happens when you graduate.
I did not mention the cult, the cyclops graveyard, the minor epidemic that almost wipes out the student body, the superpower enhancing drugs, the militia of students that patrols the woods, the other less official militia of students that patrols the woods pretending to be monsters, or the tunnels in the walls. The writing is sometimes genuinely bad. Ian, Suki, CJ and Gabe are a really compelling found family. I recommend that you watch the show.
i finished my rewatch of tower prep - it's been years - but i:
still remembered a lot of the lines and
am just as depressed it's gone as the first time i watched the finale.

“Yeah, it’s because most of us in our little ‘daycare center’, are what you’d call special. And not like… short-bus-special, but like, you know, we can do something really weird in a really… awesome way. That kind of special.” [x]

you vaccinate your kids ? i squirt lemon in my son’s eyes to make him stronger against viruses . i activate his fight or flight response . he is so powerful he can now eat entire lemons , peel included .. tell me again how your vaccinated child isn’t inferior ?
😂😂😂😂 because my kid isnt going to die from polio. I could give two shits if she could power down a whole lemon.
my son has been trained to eat polio while your kid struggles to even eat a simple yellow fruit . Pathetic
Omg… your antivax mentality is so deluded that i cannot even begin to explain how you cannot eat polio because your tiny pinhead mind wouldnt be able to process it. Also, literally everything you have said qualifies as child abuse. I hope someone takes your kid away from you so they actually get a chance to live a decent and normal life free of debilitating diseases.
He has mastered laying eggs while your child learns the ABDs , don’t think for a second that they are the same . Your son is 2 ft getting no hoes while my son is 6’4 getting chicks daily . Don’t ever call my head a pin again
You don’t know how human biology works, do you?
If I don’t know how biology works then why is my son a chick magnet pulling hoes left and right ? how did i raise his testosterone level to that of a wild moose hunting for his doe during mating season ? talk to me about biology when ur son learns to breed with deer
