The unemployment rate got people inventing psychological warfare

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

The fun and fantastic part of this little throw-away scene is that Viagra was INVENTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF IMPROVING CIRCULATION FOR HEART PROBLEMS. Causing erections was an unplanned side-effect that became their moneymaker, but VIAGRA WAS ORIGINALLY MEANT FOR HEART CONDITIONS. He's literally prescribing a medication for the purpose it was intended for before the developer decided an aid for erectile dysfunction was more profitable

I LOVED the writing in this episode

Why does staff still allow people funnier than you to leave tags on your posts. They should have fixed that by now

how do i say "horror novels these days are too woke" without sounding like a right winger. what i mean is: this one is about a woman serial killer who kills Bad Men, that one is about ~anticapitalist activists~, this one is ~queer~, that one is about *spins wheel* someone dealing with the ghosts of their immigrant roots, all of them are about intergenerational traumaaaaa. okay. cool. but is it good though. is it fucking scary

something something, losing the ability to convey horror through abstraction, through metaphor, through symbolism, through allegory, through raw unexamined un-psychiatrized feeling. if the real horror is.... dun dun dun! the patriarchy then i just feel preached to. don't use fiction as a vehicle for Saying Something About Society. write with total vulnerability and then see what it says. it will be probably be far more interesting and horrifying than what if the monster was uhh my mom's abuse or whatever. this brand of new horror writers are all so terrified of actually disclosing anything about themselves. it's like if an instagram infographic performance was a mediocre contemporary novel

I wonder if all the "dead poets society" "sad poetry" ppl reblogging this know it's from a d20 campaign.

do they know about ylfa? do they know what she became? do they know that the wolf did not eat her, but that she ate the wolf? do they know that she walked her grandmother's past to a wooden door? do they know she gave up her name so that people might someday be able to write their own stories?
