“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”

no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it

[stripedroseandsketchpads]

The idea that young people are getting used to not being able to speak in public about sex, queerness etc without talking around censors, and see this as normal and not a problem, scares me tbh.

[crippledanarchy]

The fact that people are so comfortable with being censored that they Voluntarily censor themselves on words and topics that aren’t even being limited is a terrifying sign

[transcyberism]

I hate to be like the “THIS IS JUST LIKE 1984” guy but. there was literally a thing in that book where you had to say “double plus ungood” instead of “bad” because you weren’t supposed to talk about bad things. if you told me ten years ago that “unalive” was a word that George Orwell had coined for Newspeak I would have believed you.

Me, shaking and wide-eyed after hearing Hozier hit the high notes in Anything But for the first time:

[butchered-icarian]

butchered tongue is a shout out to all of the people whose cultures were ripped away from them, whose languages were maimed and are now either dead or gravely wounded; a shout out to all the immigrants who are now living on foreign land, who have to fight tooth and nail and everything they have to adapt to a new culture, learn a new language in order to get by and survive; a shout out to folks who aren't allowed to come home, wherever "home" is - because after all: what is more violent than the crime against the roots of the people, to deny one of their heritage, their rights to speak their mother tongue, after all, that is the violence that weakened the connection between people, because language in all forms is so beautiful and important, and yes butchered tongue represents the circle of violence because the song itself stands for the vulnerability and desperation to preserve whatever left of the brutality aftermath.

a late entry, but heavy contender for tik tok of the year

[spinchs-field]

the sound a bass guitar makes is a gender.

[spinchs-field]

it is also a sexuality

[spinchs-field]

it is also a secret third thing

[boatcats]

Classic sea shanties like:

"I fucking hate this ship and I cannot wait to get off."

"I got off the ship on the dock but I know I'm going to get back on the ship when my leave is up. Fuck."

"Storm."

"Big storm."

"Is it just me or does this ship have like. Really clean lines. Like damn. Okay. Not saying I'm feeling attracted to the ship, per se, but. Damn."

"Sometimes you see weird shit that you cannot explain and you just kinda have to shrug and go. Welp."

[boatcats]

Not to forget crowd favorites like:

"Pull harder or we are all going to die."

"Bad working conditions."

"Fucking pay me my wages, you asshole."

[seaglassandeelgrass]

And the perennial favourites:

"God I Need A Drink"

"I Am Drunk And Cannot Find My Clothing"

"Listen To This Cautionary Tale Of: Don't Fall Overboard"

"My Sweetheart Has Left Me, Guess I'll Go Be Miserable At Sea"

"Whale. Big Fish."

"The Food Sucks. So Do The Wages. And The Mate Is A Bastard."

"Spent All My Money, Oops."

"Our Ship Can Kick Your Ship's Stern."

"Shipwreck."

"Nautical Gibberish That Was Probably Once Actual Words, Maybe."

"Hey, Remember That Guy? He's Dead."

"I Have Not Seen A Woman In Six Months."

"Mapquest Directions, But Rhyming."

"Whatever You Do, Don't Go To Sea. Goodbye, I'm Off To Sea."

[beggars-opera]

But not to leave out:

“I Sure Do Miss The Prostitutes In That One Port Town”

“Our Ship Is The Best Ship, Much Faster Than Yours, Fight Me”

“Admiral Nelson. What A Guy!”

She saw her moment and got glossed up for it

a car goes full speed off a cliff and explodes at the bottom and when the smoke clears it's actually just perfectly parallel parked

[people-wxtching]

Yeah, I know many people have talked about this already but I need to say it as well before I explode.

I love visually seeing how the campers are all age accurately cast. In the books, it didn't hit me as hard because it was something I read when I myself was around 12. Even upon rereading I just go back to my 12-year-old body and the age is just this textual evidence that I KNOW exists but it doesn't truly impact me as much as it really should.

With this still, though, it's clearly visible how young all of them are. And it's scary. It's just the teaser trailer and it's already scary to think just how tiny and innocent they are, and how many hardships they have to go through at such a tender age.

But the scariest part about the scary part?

The youngest campers. That little girl (sorry for the bad quality) who's sitting right behind the girl with glasses looks around 7-8 at most. She's so small, so tiny, and yet she's at a camp where she has to learn how to survive and fight off monsters 100 times her size.

And the essence of all this is exactly what the movies failed to capture. The movies had a mostly adult cast, with zero ideas of what they were doing with the plot and characterization that could make the movies as impactful as the books, and focused a little too much on getting their Percabeth ship going, with absolutely no buildup of trust or slowly falling for each other or anything.

But with this show, I'm sure it'll be a lot more emotional and real because while it is sad that they're all just little kids, it's also a reflection of reality. Not every kid has a wonderful life; we all have to fight our own monsters no matter how young we may be, because life doesn't wait to see how old you are to throw problems at you. It doesn't have an age limit for trauma and hardships. The younger you are, the harder it impacts your life, and them being this small has a much more impactful meaning to it than watching almost adults go through the same problems that often get solved in an underwhelming manner.

your honour, tbh, ngl, idgaf

[calicofae]

social media has really warped our perception of creativity and hobbies. Stop doing things to post them. Just write. Just journal. Just sketch. Just read. Just annotate. Just sing. Just crochet. Just do the thing you’re going to do with the assumption no one will ever see or know you did it. Stop performing. Just enjoy it.
