My Designer Heart

A place for art musings, fandom feels, and beautiful things.

if you follow the right people on social media then you can regularly enjoy a sort of "survival horror experience" where you get to piece together The Terrible Thing That Happened based entirely on scattered, incomplete accounts

stop saying "gen z brought back bush-era purity politics" i grew up in the bush era and even then people weren't saying that you're a sex addict for having boring marital sexual congress in the same house as your children. this is just plain unhinged

[prof-grace-aspen]

Literally almost every millennial I know has a memory of accidentally walking in on their parents or hearing their parents having sex. It's fucking normal. Human beings have sex. Your parents fuck. Get over it. Being weird about it isn't healthy.

I really loved Robert Evans’s response to this

[byjove]

Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

May i add the piece from artist Verbal Vomit

[unyanizedcatboys]

Glad to see we’re all in agreement that cats talk like disparaged victorian children

[explorerrowan]

I am so incredibly glad we finally moved on from "i can has". Cats are clearly smart enough for advanced sentence structure and dumb enough to draw entirely incorrect conclusions about what they're talking about.

[dualclock]

My cat, banging the cabnet door over and over and over: bang bang bang

Me: you will not earn what you desire by banging the cabinet door.

My cat: This is a test of wills, is it not? We shall see if your ability to put up with my incessant banging outlasts my eternal lust for snackie treats. Years of conditioning have hardened me for this purpose. bang bang bang

Me: ksst!

My cat, throwing herself to the ground like she's been shot: Oh! Oh I have been assailed in my own home! Have mercy, have pity! Surely in the cruel darkness of your heart there is some mote of goodness that might stay your hand! Do not strike me, I pray you!

Me: ok

My cat, after waiting about 3 minutes: bang bang bang

pro tip you can just grab a bunch of random parts from dumpsters and hardware stores and computer stores and just attach them together haphazardly and then put it in your suitcase and take it to the airport and get arrested pretty much 100% of the time

I’m SEVERELY disappointed this post didn’t include the eye witness statement of the mirror crash incident in question

HOW’S THAT HOUSE THAT RAISED YOU? - Lev St. Valentine

[time-traveling-fetus]

As much debate as there is about tone tags, 90% of the issues would be solved by just typing the word. Like instead of typing /gen or /hj you can just write (genuine) or (handjob) and you'll be doing pretty much the exact same thing.

[time-traveling-fetus]

Of course I personally think it's less awkward to use some rudimentary language skills to form actual sentences and phrases. They don't even have to be complicated. Like "Genuine question, why are you doing that?" Or "I'm being serious. Stop that." Or "I'm going to jerk you off now."

[fortunechaos]

I whole wholeheartedly agree with you on this matter OP. I do feel like it's often forgotten in this discourse that tonetags originated on Twitter where they had to get around a constrictive character count for tweets. I think how we got here makes a lot more sense when you consider the process otherwise of trying to fit an entire handjob in 280 characters.

Georg Von Rosen, 1843-1923

The Sphinx, ca.1887/1907, oil on canvas, 280x365 cm

Nationalmuseum, Sweden Inv. NM 1670

[moonsheen]

This represents a trend in art history I love which is REALLY FUCKED UP SPHINXES. I love FUCKED UP SPHINXES in art and this is such a fine example of this I can only applaud!!! Please understand, when I worked at the museum as a security guard, I got to spend many hours staring down this particular bad boy:

Title: Oedipus and the Sphinx Artist: Gustave Moreau (French, Paris 1826–1898 Paris) Date: 1864 Medium: Oil on canvas

Look at how weird and stupid the proportions are on that lady! I LOVE FUCKED UP SPHINXES!!!!

[infiniteoreos]

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

[dragonflea]

"Put Baby in pelican mouth" has transformed my thinking in ways I haven't entirely discovered yet. The other day at the shop I heard "just give us your ID card at the till to get 15% off such-and-such products!" And my brain went "Big Chain Store perfec/t size for give all your personal data! Deals very cheap and fun your data safe give data to Big Chain Store. Give data to Big Chain Store. No problems ever with Big Chain Store because good size and safety for ID card weak of so much yummy personal data. Abig Chain Store yes a place for data give data to Big Chain Store can trust Big Chain Store for give data to all its friends. Friend Store"

Did this for a community calendar project hosted by members in the Screen Tones Podcast discord 🖤

[bumblebeebats]

Trying to join a big Discord server when you're not really that familiar with Discord servers somehow manages to combine the social anxiety of trying to make new friends or ordering at a fancy new coffeeshop for the first time with the general chaos and technical barriers to entry of an MMO. I shuffle up to the counter and go "Um, hey, can I get---" only for someone named ☽ 𝓖𝓸𝓫𝓵𝓲𝓷 𝓕𝓾𝓬𝓴𝓮𝓻 ☾ [👑 Mod] [👺 Dark Wizard] [♣︎ BUNT] [🔮 Pengis Time 2022] • he/him to manifest in a cloud of bisexual coloured animated lightning, turning me instantly to dust and then announcing to the shop at large "Hey guys, please remember to read the #2026-updated-rules-terms-and-conditions and choose your role before you speak, also remember that ordering should go in #ordering-drinks, #ordering-cakes, or #ordering-a-cake-and-a-drink, unless you're 🔉just-using-the-bathroom. Thanks"

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

I love thinking I'm a hater and then meeting a real hater and going wow that does not look fun actually. Going back to my lukewarm hater ways. Performative haterdom. I couldn't name five hater bands.

One of the major dividing lines of our age is between those who think it's worthwhile to cooperate and work with other people, accepting their flaws and limitations, to build something larger than ourselves, and those who think everything is fundamentally hopeless and that other people are corrupt, degenerate, and suspect. And the latter is not conducive to having any kind of culture at all.

[malcolmschmitz]

The one thing C.S. Lewis said that I still categorically agree with is that every age has its prevailing - he calls it "sin", I'd rather call it a "failure mode"- and people will try to paint that sin's opposing virtue as a vice.

In an age where people are cruel, people will try to paint kindness as weakness. In an age where people are greedy, people will try to call frugality tacky.

... I think our time's failure mode, at least in America, is despair. And people sure are quick to paint hope as complacency.

[cthulhu-with-a-fez]

#'complacency' is close but not quite I think -- #-- the problem is that hope is seen as COLLUSION #if this world is so filthy and fucked as to be beyond redemption#then by engaging with it AT ALL -- regardless of what you are trying to achieve -- #-- then you are validating it. normalizing it. glorifying it even! #behaving in a way that suggests that the world DESERVES to exist #suggests the people in it DESERVE to live and have their situations improve #and well! that's pretty Problematic of you. #the only Correct way to regard the world is with complete and total nihilistic passivity. anything else makes you a filthy collaborator #salty sunday (via @mikkeneko)
