feminism is about blunts and weed. its about smoking marijuana, and as much of it as you can get your hands on

“I loved you, always.”

going to comment a little on this game: the overseeing voice talks as if it owns you, and defies your free will. if you follow its orders, you are praised, and the worldview becomes sharper and more detailed. if you don’t, you are chastised, and the world becomes more vague and difficult to navigate, but also more colourful and loud. it’s odd, and sort of eerie, but definitely interesting. take it as you will.

This game really unsettles me. It unsttles me that my first choice to obey, and when I played again and disobeyed, I got really emotional really fast. Failure hurt me more the more I disobeyed. It was… interesting to experience.

i’ve always said we are trained to obey more than to think.

holy shit. i reblogged this the first time without playing. then i played in and it is terrifying. i very much like this, but it will give you intense feelings.

What’s the game??

bobateebrek

you obey everything the game tells you too, even jumping into barbs and basically killing yourself. if you dont youre chastised and even the scolding is terrifying

theanimatedraccoon

So, essentially, it’s a game that illustrates what it’s like to be in an abusive parents or an abusive relationship - and how it affects you emotionally. That is horrific and ingenious - the next time someone negates the affects of emotional abuse, I’ll take them to this game and let them come to their own conclusions.

This game absolutely gets it. The most solid and reliable degradation is a gendered insult. The more you obey and co-operate, the better understanding you seem to have of your word, and things seem easier. But what really gets me is the contradiction. You are not allowed to have the correct answer. Are you a boy or a girl? The answer is no, I will give you the answer. even towards the end, your “praise” is “no, I will give you the answer. You earned this answer, but it is given to you by me.” Disobeying makes the world frightening and confusing and difficult, but beautiful in a world devoid of flavour.

This game totally fucks with me every time I play it because it’s so damn real about what it’s conveying.

Let me tell you that the basic idea where obeying makes things easier, makes things clearer while disobeying makes things chaotic and ruins your sense of self: that shit is as real as it gets.

Obeying made life easy. The person you are isn’t, maybe, the person you want to be, but you have a sense of self. Making decisions is easier. You can at least predict how things will go, even when you hate it.

But once you start asserting yourself, that’s when it gets bad. Who you are gets questions and torn down time and time again. The process of getting out is so much harder as your ability to trust yourself wears to the point of being non-existence.

I had to have my abusive partner kick me out of the house twice before my ability to make the decision to crawl back was completely wiped.

It’s been almost 9 years since then. I have a sense of self again. But it was rough going for a long time.

For anyone who’s confused, the first comment contains a link to the game.

Someone in my near vicinity: *looks in my general direction* My paranoid ass: oh great, they’re reading my mind

and this is why you always wear headphones, to muffle the thinking for your average passerby

devil-in-red-deactivated2019010

when this happens to me i’ve started thinking “THINK FAST” really loudly and abruptly while imagining pitching something at their head really hard and if they don’t flinch i feel a little more secure that they can’t read minds.

Gravity falls was one of the smartest and funniest shows on television and I miss it dearly.

[Hamilton] had been with the Army during its retreat through New Jersey, and a brother officer describes him trudging along the muddy or frozen roads with his little Company. "It was a model of discipline, and it’s captain, a mere boy, of small, slender and delicate frame, with his cocked hat pulled down over his eyes, and apparently lost in thought, marched beside a cannon, patting it every now and then as if it were a favorite horse or a pet plaything.“

The Signs as Obscure Things From The Original Heathers Trailer

Watch it Here Aries: The fact that they used the song “Three Blind Mice” to open the trailer and to end it but then they never put in in the movie. Taurus: The huge drop in sound quality when they censor “megabitch” to “megaBRAT”. Gemini: The knowledge that someone probably took Winona Ryder into a recording studio just to say “BRAT” into a microphone. Leo: “JD has come to answer her prayers.” Virgo: The really bumpin’ music that starts playing right after Veronica says “That stuff will kill her.” Libra: “He’s got a way with women…a way with words…and a very special way with a gun.” Scorpio: “Veronica can’t live with him…and she cant live without him.” Sagittarius: The clip of the weed girl when she says, “What?”

Capricorn: The narrator’s deep, sultry, voice. Aquarius: “Their meeting was destiny…their love…has a body count.” Pisces: Shannen Doherty’s name misspelled as Shannon Dougherty.

i hate writing historical fic because every five sentences you’re googling random shit like “when did billiards become popular in america” & i’ll have you know it was the 1820s

fuckyeahcharacterdevelopment

fun fact my pals the word ‘okay’ or ‘O.K.’ (the abbreviation for the old timey spelling of ‘all correct’) was popularized in 1840 by Van Buren’s US presidential election slogan and seeing it in historical fiction before then feels like a little glitch in the matrix, but seeing it in an Old Timey Fantasy setting sends me down the rabbit hole of how a fantasy world language would be brutal to translate, and language in general is a trip, and nothing means anything, probably

kasualkaymer

I just want to add a correction: O.K. was not an abbreviation for an “old-timey” spelling of “all correct”; it is in fact an abbreviation for an INTENTIONAL MISSPELLING of “all correct.” There was a short-lived period in the 1800s where it became amusing and trendy to flagrantly misspell conversational phrases and then abbreviate them, and “O.K.” is the only one to survive to the present day.

O.K. is an ancient MEME.

You telling me like 100 years from now, words like “birb”, “smol”, and “bode” are gonna be actual words?

kc749

Well they kinda already are. You say or type them, others know what you mean. That’s what words and language do. Of course we have to make new ones, because we keep finding new concepts. Even if it’s ‘that thing is small but differently small than a normal small.’ Like two different shades of blue.

I love oll korrect for exactly this reason. So much of our language us just what a bunch of cool kids for two years in the 18th century thought was funny
