Yes this was an impulse buy.

No I don't regret it in the slightest.

Only 10,000 units were produced and I desperately needed to own one of them. Plus, the steelbook art is amazing

[picmonster50]

Love love love and I fully support this purchase!

If the adds on my feed are anything to go by, then tumblr clearly thinks I have schizophrenia and am in denial about it.

[steakandcheeeese]

Did I just see, in the year of our lord 2020 on tumblr dort com, someone use the term 'squick'?

Do we not use squick any more?

Did not get that memo

had I received the memo I would have lit it on fire

[ruffboi-mags]

Squick is a useful word that allows you to say “I don’t enjoy this and am in fact the opposite of enjoying it, but there’s nothing wrong with you enjoying it.”

It’s a good word and the only reason I can think of to want it to not be used is bc it flies in the face of the purity police’s wanting to make all things they personally dislike “problematic” and “gross”.

[prismatic-bell]

Squick is also a useful word when you don’t want to misuse/dilute “trigger.”

Example: I am deeply squicked by descriptions of characters eating in a messy fashion that would leave food and grease all over their faces. I don’t have any trauma or phobias associated with it, so it’s not a trigger. And it’s not something that’s widely disapproved of, like, say, murder, so it’s not something you’re likely to tag for. (After all, how many “cute” photos have you seen of Baby’s First Attempt To Use A Spoon?) I just think it’s really gross, and if it pops up a lot or in detail it’s very likely to tank my enjoyment of what I’m reading, so I’d prefer not.

That, dear children, is a squick. I am squicked by messy eaters.

Please bring the word back in 2020. It’s incredibly useful.

[gothiccharmschool]

People, I am BEGGING you to bring back “squick”. It is so. damn. useful. 

Seriously, when/why did it fall out of use among the rest of you? I still use it, everyone I know (in and out of fandom) still uses it.

so The Lion King is based on Hamlet and has animals replicating dynamics of European monarchy and at the beginning of the movie we see Rafiki acting in some sort of official capacity at Simba’s birth

is Rafiki like... the pope??? is he the head of the savannah state religion? does the animal pope get legal protection from being eaten by the king? do herbivores who get cushy government jobs all get royal pardon from predation? are they class traitors? is Rafiki’s baboon church responsible for recognizing and upholding the divine right of kings and pushing circle of life propaganda to ensure that herbivores accept their lot in life and see it as an honor to be consumed by the aristocracy?

[raggedjackscarlet]

Rafiki’s not the pope you fool, he’s the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Lion Church of England which split from the Lion Catholics in the Lion Reformation in a dispute over the divinity of Aslan
