Bro this morning I woke up and I had no shirt on. I took it off in my sleep. I. Did not even consider that a possibility of something that could happen.
Hello, tumblr! I saw something on here the other day that worried me, so I decided to Do Science about it. But I can't do it alone: I need your help to build the dataset!
Here's what I need you to do:
If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.
Yes, that's really it.
I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.
If I get 10,000 posts in my dataset before August 31st 2026, I will post my preliminary findings then. I won't feel comfortable calling my findings "settled" before 2027, unless I get over 50,000 posts.
Alsooo Streetcat is bdsm music. It's about sexual masochism. It's also about other things but that is an obvious key theme no one is acknowledging. What the fuck do you think "I wanna beat out all the shame" "dig the claws into my neck until I'm spent" etc etc is supposed to mean.
Streetcat is abt living unapologetically as your self despite outside pressure and abt how pain reminds us we're alive. But it's also abt how getting hit really hard makes Iroha horny. These ideas complement and tie into each other and you're missing something major if you ignore either one.
ermm my immediate interpretation of the ffoley catgirl song (subject to change) (haha get it)
I think of it like a progression of ERB (like all songs of this album). Where Len has more of a focus on the pain and backlash from stranding out in his community, streetcat feels more like living in the consequences of being excluded and finding satisfaction and hope despite, and sometimes because of, the danger.
It also has an interesting contrast with Human with how it talks on identity feeling like fate (it fits me like the stars above) (to be exactly only me/the things that I was always meant to be) wheras Miki felt that breaking free from fate brought her identity. For both, though, the act of realizing themselves seems inevitable.
speaking more standalone, I think of it like. Wanting to live rather than survive. At least thats how I see it. In the first bits we get lines like this, where Nekomura is characterized as reckless, upset with her housecat life. She didn't value that peaceful life, so she runs from it.
I find it interesting that in the first part of the song 'glow' is used both to describe 'headlights' and her identity (her embrace). Nekomura's identity hits her like a truck. 'satisfaction adorns and thrives throughout her next eight lives' suggests that she needed to go through a 'death' of some sort to live a furfilling life.
It really reminds me of this albums sub-theme of breaking out of monotony. Static, spoken, and human are all trapped in it, erb and human break out, streetcat is freed. It's painful and dangerous, but its a life worth living.
By the time we get to the next part of the song, Nekomura is no longer seeking pain to dodge shame, but to find meaning, to be someone and embrace herself. I find it neat how her voice changes to be lighter and more emotional between these sections
This line is really neat because. Shrodinger's cat reference hehe
It also calls back to the sort of split in identity found in this album after significant change
If I may be so bold as to connect Nekomura's eyepatch falling off as completing healing considering that it symbolized the starting healing in erb! YAY THEME PROGRESSION WOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I hope they can find satisfaction in a way that doesn't hurt someday :)
BONUS CONNECTION!! Rawdog and streetcat both use a desire for pain as a desire for connection, one with yourself and one with a partner. This parallels the way queen of venus and Human mirror eachother (finding humanity within yourself vs finding humanity within another)
EDIT: Also as This Post says there is the masochism parallel. Im dodged the topic cus im too repulsed ace for ts but I thought abt it and yeah it prolly deserves to be said (credits to impishthing)
THE FACT. THAT FFOLEY NOT ONLY CONNECTS SONGS IN AN ALBUM BUT ALSO REFLECTS BACK ON THEMES FROM PAST ALBUMS. OMG,
Hi, these bees are babies! They’re not clumsy at all, this is what is called orientation flights. After birth and before beginning their careers as foragers (as all Honey bees cycle through all the jobs in the Hive throughout their lifespan), Honey bees take short flights back and forth, to and from the Hive, to orient themselves with their wings and their home so they can learn its location and how to get back home after foraging! Everyone has to learn, these are just smol little baby turkeys. Bees use the angle of the sun for location so adults have a better and more direct sense of location than any human
was using my knees as a table for my plate and adjusted slightly, almost causing me to drop it forward onto the floor. thank god for my lighting fast reflexes which caused me to panickily push down on the other side of the plate and catapult the rest of my chicken alfredo directly into my face
