Stealing someone's car and doing a "car acknowledgement" before every time I drive it
This is so silly but I'm watching a short video essay on sincerity in cinema and the creator is talking about how he watched Lord of the Rings for the first time at 17. He explains that he'd grown so used to the 'ironic' meta style commentary in the movies of the 2010's that as he was watching the opening narration of LotR, he spent the entire time waiting for the joke to come. For someone to take it all back with a zinger line. He listened to Blanchett describe and explain the backstory, and he waited for the other comedic shoe to drop.
And he kept doing it. Scene after scene.
He spent the film expecting someone to make a joke about how unserious things were or to break the fourth wall or do some other self referential type thing.
Now, maybe I'm just at that point in my cycle or maybe I'm too delicate in general, but I literally teared up hearing that. Straight up cried a bit. It is so fucking sad that sincerity and genuineness is being bred out of people.
People say all the time 'this generation can't take anything seriously!' and really, is it any wonder? Younger people have been trained out of it. You are no longer encouraged to be genuine or show emotion or be honest. You are actively punished for it. In fact, you are almost guaranteed to suffer for it.
That is so fucked up. I'm sorry to go on a bit of a random ramble rant but it's so fucking gut wrenching to see younger people lose that element of themselves. You can't express your passion without being told you're 'crashing out' or 'cringe'. You have to live in this neutral state of fear of perception, and god forbid anybody step outside of it!
You're told you should only consume and succumb and be ironic and emotionless and cool.
Listen, if you're following me and you're like.... 25 or under, let's say. Please. I beg of you. Do not fall for this rhetoric. Please, for the love of all things, feel. Feel and create and be honest with yourself. Indulge in things that make you happy. Be sincere. Wear your heart on your sleeve. Do not let this hyper-capitalistic, hyper-consumerist, self-centred, individualist culture take that from you.
Bleed yourself into the work you create. Live. Don't fucking let anyone tell you different.
So many tumblr users are desperate for approval that the media they like is good and interesting enough and they’ll get a good grade in being pretentious on a dying blogging platform it’s kind of sad thank god being a swiftie on here made me immune
Not to sound like a broken record but does it make anyone else viscerally angry how we realized in the very recent past that we can successfully eradicate devastating human-specific diseases (smallpox) yet now there's a million people telling you not to vaccinate your kids against measles. I know I know "everyone will not just" but also for real we could never have measles again if everyone would just be cool
surely one of these days his luck will run out and he will get actually shot right

Me and a few of my brothers are all on the spectrum but only one of us has gone through the process of getting a legit medical diagnosis and he denies it with his whole chest whenever it’s convenient so it’s become an ongoing bit for us to trick each other Revealing A Symptom while swearing to the death that our own Weird Symptom is completely normal
For example
-
Me, Autistic: What would you do if all your socks were suddenly mismatched heights and materials
Brother 1, Autistic: Kill myself
Brother 2, Autistic: (nodding) A normal reaction that everyone has
-
Brother 1: (eating his food weird in a very specific way)
Me: (also eating my food weird, but different) Don’t like it when the different ingredients are touching, huh
Him: Fuck you
-
Brother 2, cannot handle any seasonings: Did you eat dinner yet
Me, who cannot handle bland food: Yep
Him: Was it canned ravioli
Me: Maybe
Him: What did you have for breakfast
Me: …
Him: Was it also canned ravioli
Me: ………..
Brother 3, who has openly and shamelessly eaten nothing but store brand potato salad from a plastic tub for the last month and a half: You’re gonna make yourself sick doing that
dead serious normalize having an average boring ass life where you have enough to meet your needs we do not need to be remarkable we just need to be alive
'Girl in a magic Forest' by Sergei Lodygin, 1920s.
not using AI genuinely feels like the rest of the world is experiencing some kind of mass amnesia. if someone says they never use it, the immediate response is that can't be true because "everyone" uses it to write their emails or answer their questions. saw a comment suggesting that not using chatgpt to write an essay is "like the 90s". girl I graduated in 2021 and we weren't doing that! how is it that everyone has suddenly forgotten that they were entirely capable of doing these things all by themselves for their entire lives up until the past few years!! am I going crazy!!!
