Imagine if people watched Interview with the Vampire and it inspired them to think about how the past is in a very real way inaccessible to us and memory can be misleading even when you're not being dishonest and different people can have different experiences of the same event that feel emotionally true and are very real to the people who experienced them even if they contradict each other and often you will never be able to know what really happened and how this can make repairing damaged relationships difficult and threatening to a person's sense of self

the only new feature I want tumblr to add is a mutuals tab and a mandatory ai label with the option to turn off seeing it on my dash

"not everything has to mean something" whatever i wanna analyze ash tray placement!

Ilya putting out his cigarette in the really nice vodka even though the ash tray is right there because he can't ask Shane to hand it to him because even that is being too emotionally vulnerable. Ilya also not savoring/appreciating the thing he described as a prize because it's not really the thing he needs right now oooooo it's a metaphor

Shane has the ash but isn't offering it up because either that feels too much like crossing an emotional line and/or because he's too focused on the fear he has about Ilya and Russia that was founded back during the Olympics and has just been festering for six months and he needs the reassurance more than he wants to actually recognize Ilya's needs in the moment and that he's actually exasperating Ilya's issue seeking his own comfort ooooo character introspection lmao.

Also Shane drinking the vodka trying to appeal to Ilya/take in (being) Ilya's prize while Ilya is actively ruining his vodka. They literally can't be on the same page in this moment, the disconnect is still too big for them to connect even over drinking the same drink

My love for women is in a gay way. My love for men is also in a gay way. My love for other folks is, you guessed it, also also in a gay way. This is how I'm winning at the game of gender.

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.

[its-the-blob]

I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.

[ralfmaximus]

Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.

[shilyas]

wearing headphones when watching Heated Rivalry is so nice bc the show’s audio quality is genuinely great. lately I’ve been obsessed w/ Ilya running his thumb across Shane’s chin stubble & the sound it makes

you gotta read, you gotta write, you gotta draw, you gotta watch films and shows. there is literally NO time to be employed

[themoonandmyman]

Ilya at his father’s wake always reminds me of that one fleabag scene where she can’t get herself to look shit at her mother’s funeral and everyone keeps telling her she looks incredible. He was sad cold and wet but my god that cunty little turtleneck was carrying him through it

at this point whenever the topic of trans healthcare for minors comes up i just say that i would rather a million cis kids start hormones and then change their minds than have a single trans kid commit suicide because they were barred from medically transitioning and i refuse to budge on that even a little bit

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try
