like, the most compelling ships for me always stem out of one thing: the characters have a profound, ongoing effect on each otherās senses of selves. when they are apart, the charactersā actions are still affected by each other. the way they approach the world changes because of the other.Ā
which is this deeply Austenian view of ideal romantic relationships as mechanisms by which we come to know ourselves better and become better versions of ourselves. good romance, for me, is always tied in with a sense of self-actualization, and the way in which a beloved partner allows a person to know themselves better.
I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.
Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.
#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain
Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"
I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.
all of the numbers that are divisible by 17 sound so absurd. 51? 68? 85? ridiculous. 102? absolutely not. and don't even get me started on 119
34 and 136 i can believe, but i feel like i shouldnāt. itās 102 in a trench coat
did we just run out of posts to make
no, i haven't made a post about every number yet
I'm sorry to let you know that 100,000,001 (one hundred million and one) is divisible by 17 and because of that, so is every 16-digit number that is four digits repeated four times e.g. 1234123412341234
okay not to be a cunt but something i hate about reading queer romcom novels is that so many of them have a part where the characters all but turn to the camera and explain their Good Respectful Politics. like itās not even that i disagree itās that iām suddenly in the middle of an instagram infographic. do you guys know what i mean

INCREDIBLE to exchange feedback with someone in a mature way. To give and receive critique when thereās mutual respect and both partiesā first desire is not pride but improvement of the project, the skill, the product, the art.
When someone is EXCITED to hear your feedback EVEN if itās critical. When you get excited to hear critique because you know itās going to push you to improve.

I told a director āhey I think the way this event is planned is haphazard. I know itās too late now but I have some ideas about how it could flow a lot better next time.ā
And he said āitās not too late, Iāll send out an email and correct it.ā
Rescheduling the way an event was run when somebody pointed out that it could be done better ā no pride and no hemming and hawing. It could be better so letās do it better.
And thatās why this is somebody Iām able to TAKE criticism from. I know this is a reasonable person who can focus on a goal before personal feelings.
something I haven't seen people mention about The Hunger Games trilogy and movies is how it genuinely revolutionized the Minecraft server scene
happy pride
I've seen this clip many times, but never really appreciated the power of "what was her problem?" Just casually assuming that lesbians come in a wide variety of shapes and being inclusive. As a transbian who is probably still closer to Homer shaped than to my ideal, that's huge!
posting about being a "sensitive white boy" in 2026 just makes you sound like this

thereās this term i coined in my friendgroup i call āthe charizard effectā and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc iām exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and itās highly commodified.
i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff iād otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena āthe charizard effectā
making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizardās fault i feel this way, im sure iād feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name
I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous
