my man getting the attention he deserves
when w. h. auden said “evil is unspectacular and always human” and ursula k. leguin said “this is the great treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain”
when toni morrison said “i just think goodness is more interesting. evil is constant. you can think of different ways to murder people, but you can do that at age five. but you have to be an adult to consciously, deliberately be good – and that’s complicated.”
when simone weil said “imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.”
Stop shaming people for doing what makes them happy if it doesn't cause you any harm.
Fall in love with the moon every night, listen to an overrated song on repeat, watch that one average movie with your favourite actor in it and then watch everything else that involves that actor, be obsessed with shitty art, take photos of the sky until your gallery is full, follow the trend everyone else is following, it will be different for you because you are a different person with different experiences and tastes and secrets and pains, follow that famous youtuber, love that stupid new tiktok trend, read cliché fanfictions and love those "for children" movies, play foreign music, get that hairstyle, start a meme page, put an overly used quote as your status, believe in magic, celebrate little victories that only you know about, don't let them shame you into not living your life. Fuck them.
Sometimes I can still hear their voice
Breaking: TikTok is better bc it’s more hostile towards humanity
The lack of video content is what kept us here... I thought we all agree that the best feature of this hellhole was and always will be anonymity.
Tumblr's not asking for my phone number. It's not going through my contacts to try and connect me with my fucking colleagues. I can come here and talk about whatever I want without anyone ever seeing my face or hearing my voice. I don't have to censor myself and hide my interests or enthusiasm out of fear of consequences it might have in my real life.
I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it's a blogging platform with social features.
When Sylvia Plath wrote, 'I was supposed to be having the time of my life.' and when Sylvia Plath wrote, '... but here I was, sitting back and letting it run through my fingers like so much water.' and when she wrote, '... I wondered why I couldn't go the whole way doing what I should any more. This made me sad and tired. Then I wondered why I couldn't go the whole way doing what I shouldn't,... and this made me even sadder and more tired.' and when she wrote, 'what did I do but balk and balk like a dull cart horse?'
And when Sylvia Plath described the essence of society by saying, '... because he thought all sickness was the sickness of the will.' and when she said 'she wants...to be everything' and when she wrote, 'What did I think was wrong? That made it sound as if nothing was really wrong, I only thought it was wrong.' and 'You'll never get anywhere like that...'
When twenty one pilots said, "Keep your bliss. There's nothing wrong with this." and when twenty one pilots said, "Self-sabotage is a sweet romance." and when they said, "Keep your sunny days. Leave us in the rain." and when they said, "You shed your modesty."
When twenty one pilots said,
"Like a little splinter buried in your skin
Someone else can carve it out, but when you've got the pin
It hurts a little less and you can even push it further in
When your body's screamin' out, trust your mind's listenin'"
and when they wrote,
"I don't want to go on like this
At least let me clean my room
I don't want to leave like this
'Cause the last thing I want to do is
Make my people make decisions
Wondering what to do, oh
Should they keep it on display
Or redecorate?"
and when they sang,
"Ain't no sunny skies, 'til you finally realize
That everybody relies on synthetic highs
They find someone to prescribe
Keep your bliss
There's nothing wrong with this
We just wanna feel it all
Keep your pills, save your breath
And don't ever forget "
When Lorde said, "I thought I was a genius, but now I'm twenty-two." and when Lorde said, "I'm tryna get well from the inside." and when she said, "We had no idea the dreams we had were far too big." and when she said, "'Cause we are all broken and sad."
when sylvia plath wrote “the silence depressed me. it wasn’t the silence of silence. it was my own silence.” and when anne carson wrote “why does tragedy exist? because you are full of rage. why are you full of rage? because you are full of grief.” and when jenny slate wrote “and i am getting older but i am not growing up and my heart is getting soft dark spots on it like a fruit that has gone bad.” and when virginia woolf wrote “to want and not to have, sent all up her body a hardness, a hollowness, a strain.” and when susanna kaysen wrote “when you’re sad, you need to hear your sorrow structured into sound.” and when margaret atwood wrote “already my childhood seemed far away – a remote age, faded and bittersweet, like dried flowers. did i regret its loss, did i want it back? i didn’t think so…” and when gillian flynn wrote “i was not a lovable child, and i’d grown into a deeply unlovable adult.”

lorde literally said fuck you im not helping you navigate your early 20s do it yourself. here are some vibes.
I'm still waiting for her company and guidance through it
the fact that one of the first lines we heard from melodrama was “she thinks you love the beach you’re such a damn liar” and “honey i’ll come get my things, but i can’t let go” and now the lead single for lorde’s third album is has the lyrics “lead the boys and girls onto the beaches come on come on tell you my secrets” and “forget all of the tears you cried it’s over” and “it’s a new state of mind are you coming my baby”
and then there’s the implications of juxtaposing green light vs natural solar light when she says “turn it on in a new kind of bright it’s solar” from “waiting for that green light”
So is the TVA on Steve Roger's ass too? Didn't he fuck up the timeline too?
Even after everything, Tyler still knows.
He understands.
He's achieved so much throughout this journey but he's still relatable. Still in pain. Still in Dema.
The mv for Choker needs a whole post for itself but the lyrics....
'Seems like all I'm worth is what I'm able to withstand'
This song is so hopeful even after being seemingly dismal. They want us to take initiative. To stop waiting for help and do it yourself. To try.
"Like a little splinter
Buried in your skin
Someone else can carve it out
But when you've got the pin
It hurts a little less
And you can even push it further in"
I somehow feel like they wrote this song especially for me. Because I needed this so much right now.
Nobody is coming to save us. We need to do it ourselves. And we can.
