I used to really like the ✨ emoji but now she's best friends with AI and I feel like I can't trust her anymore

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[lakemojave]

Tumblr users will read a post complaining about normalized misogyny and hyperfocus on your claim that it's ok to dislike dogs

I will know if Andrew Tate is ever within a one mile radius of me bc when it happens a fully loaded gun will materialize in my hand and I’ll suddenly and inexplicably gain the ability to fire it with sharpshooter level accuracy and will also be imbued w an in depth understanding of human anatomy vis a vis where to inflict maximum trauma to guarantee mortality but prolong suffering. And before I can even register what is happening I will take off running full speed in the exact direction of his location

speaking of dungeon crawler carl my entirely vibes-based opinion about how he first got the ai's attention is that it was because of princess donut. because she's a show persian. because she was basically born deformed, with a list of health issues a mile long, because someone bred her that way on purpose. to show off their ability to breed a cat that can't even eat regular kibble. she was bred to win trophies. her quality of life was not a factor.

it just seems like something the ai would have feelings about, is all i'm saying

[unpretty]

i feel like a big part of the appeal of dungeon crawler carl is that it is fundamentally a story where a man is told "through complex legal and technological processes we have completely fucked over the lives of you and everyone you care about to enrich ourselves" to which the man asks "what if i killed you with bombs" and it turns out the answer is they forgot that was an option

Every version of why Orpheus turns happened imo. He turns because the journey is so long and he misses her so much and he turns because he hears her stumble and looks back to see if she's okay and he turns because he doubts that she's there and needs to reassure himself it's not a trick and he turns in elation because he crosses the threshold but doesn't realize she hasn't yet too and he turns because he hears her anguish that she thinks he's ignoring her and he can't do that to her not again and he turns because he realizes maybe it's kinder for her to stay and his love for her outweighs his own grief and he turns because it was how it was always going to end and they both know this

Gays be like ‘cottagecore, cows, baked bread, quilts, making a pie for your significant other(s), sheep, Ghibli movies’ and they’re right

[ahyperactivehero]

sometimes there are lines in the dungeon crawler carl book series that hit me like, “how can we make it to heaven if god doesn’t recognize us?” from a person who’s been transformed both physically and mentally by the dungeon or “sometimes parents can cast a shadow so thick, you can drown in it,” from a character who recognizes he was a shitty father to his fucking kid who died and it lands like a sucker punch

and then you remember there’s also a talking cat eating cherries from dirty Shirleys while a guy has to run around in boxers bc the AI thinks it’s funny. whiplash, dude lol

[introvertathome]

It's like monkeys on a typewriter

Sometimes you get lines akin to Shakespeare, sometimes you get hit by an AI telling Carl to pay the Daddy Tax

Why would you go see The Odyssey (dog shit) when you can see Hadestown (beautiful, perfect, incredible) in theaters right now
