the sun is, objectively, an average star. its size is nothing special, its life cycle is one of the most common for main sequence stars, and it won't even supernova. and yet us humans praise the sun for being incredible, because it's what provides us life.
even the most average of stars can become extraordinary through a specific lens, and I think there's something beautiful about that.
just saw someone on tiktok say "if it's canon don't change it" and I think we've genuinely lost the plot.
so I've had a crush on my roommate for a couple months now. they're really pretty and we clicked almost instantly when we first met, so it was almost impossible to not fall for them. no biggie, I'll just pine for them until the end of time as I always do.
thing is, recently our messages have become quite...flirtatious? I don't just mean "oh their messages can be interpreted as romantic," I mean they've implied that they want to kiss me + hold my hand + cuddle with me + take me on dates. at a certain point I'm pretty sure we've both admitted that we have feelings for each other. neither of us have explicitly said anything yet because I think we're both too awkward to confess through text.
I may sound calm but I'm actually freaking out.
BREAKING NEWS: Man with Disorder That Makes Social Interactions Hard shocked to find that social interactions are hard
I think a reason why I love sfth so much is that it strays so far from the mindset that I've developed as a musician.
as a guitarist, you must never make a mistake. oh, you missed a note? you played one note a little too loudly? your string buzzed on a chord change? your entire performance is now forever tainted. all practice is to mitigate mistakes. mistakes are the bane of your existence. and if you dare to make a mistake onstage? you better not show it. you must be graceful as a swan, hiding your desperately thrashing feet behind a facade of elegance.
but sfth? they embrace all of that. they don't shy away from making mistakes, in fact they embrace it. mistakes are repeatedly highlighted and become part of the sketch. for sfth, mistakes are the performance. and I think there's something beautiful about that.
how do I explain to my partner that I call them "love" because of a british improv comedy group that I used to be hyperfixated on in high school
shoutout to tiktok for turning alternative culture into aesthetics and short-lived microtrends. shoutout to tiktok for promoting fast fashion for young alt kids, ultimately going across what those subcultures fundamentally stood for. shoutout to tiktok for completely missing the core values that formed these alternative subcultures in the first place.
shoutout to tiktok for shaming fandoms into fearing cringe. shoutout to tiktok for making cosplayers feel embarrassed for indulging in their craft. shoutout to tiktok for making fun of shippers just because their ship "doesn't make sense". shoutout to tiktok for banalising fandom culture.
I just love how tiktok forces its way into pre-existing spaces and pours bleach on it to turn it into a bland, sanitised version of what it once was.
the feeling when you're academic but not "get 100% on every test" academic but you're academic enough for your friends to give you weird looks when you say that you bombed a test (you got below an 80%) but you're not academic enough to understand the people who crash out over a 98% but people think you're really smart and you feel like a fraud because you're not actually smart
