yo since there’s been some people in the tags who don’t get it, this aesthetic is actually called Grind Fiction and there’s an entire forum essay someone wrote on it here and it’s incredibly 2008 but who cares it’s great.

it was originally given the name “animemo” (yes, as in anime and emo) and before you wince let me just get the last paragraph but edited to have the new name + grammar n shit so you can just fully appreciate why this genre matters

At the end of the day, Grind Fiction can be surmised in five words - “Youths Having Fun Being Fantastic.” In all essence, Grind Fiction is almost like an anime where the characters think they’re in an anime! It’s okay that you grew your hair out long and look like some Final Fantasy character or ‘70s rock, punk, gangsta star. It’s okay that you wear a huge trench coat or a Tron-esque cloak or some outlandish garments, or even just some jeans and a coat you grabbed out of your closet. It’s okay that you combine martial arts or wrestling with cyborg enhancements. It’s okay that you love spray painting walls and streets and helicopters. It’s okay that you have a light saber or a sword or know how to manipulate and levitate things with your mind. It’s okay that you like fighting off equally garish opponents in a Tokyo/Paris/Mediterranean city street/alley. It’s okay that you have a street punk name. It’s okay that you love jumping off buildings and onto other buildings, or platforms, or planes. It’s okay that you like how the sunset on a winter day dyes the world in crimson. It’s okay running off the beaten path, away from the sidewalks, in the middle of a city, just to find what’s around the corner. It’s okay to like the fact it’s okay. It’s okay to take pride in liking this fact. It’s okay that you like having fun, expressing yourself, and kickstarting a revolution. That, my friend, is what Grind Fiction is all about.

pardon my pretentiousness, but the core tenet of existentialism is that we define our own experiences and give our own lives meaning. life is unfair, the world is cold and uncaring, and everything is pulled around by the wills of a bunch of fools on a journey winging it at this whole “life” thing and sorted out by random physics, saying “I am” and defining “I” is an inherently radical action, as well as a totally rad one. In this world that says “it’s hopeless” and tries to define you by that, well… what’s more punk than defying that? this genre is about taking that concept and giving it a look and a sound. there’s that post about the person’s dad who’s upset that the revolutionaries of this day and age don’t have a “look”. but I think we do have one and it’s as vibrant and colorful as the future we’re fighting for. that’s my take on it anyways.

you don’t have to save the world to have meaning in life, and you don’t have to actually be some anime character to feel the freedom of one. you don’t even have to literally be young to be that youth having fun being fantastic - “young at heart” generally only ever really means “doesn’t have a stick up their ass” to most people, and all too often deviating from the norm and expressing individuality is considered childish or stupid by people who are mad that you aren’t as jaded as them and don’t feel the same obligation to play the part you’re “supposed” to just because it’s more acceptable. you just need to know who you are and what you’re about. yeah I know it sounds like the fucking lion king in here but that’s just how it is. every kids movie ever says “be yourself” as lip service but doesn’t really elaborate on that because, I mean, “kids react to existentialism and the inevitability of death” yknow, but for real. particularly in times like these, self-realization and “having fun being fantastic” is one of the most radical acts of rebellion you can do.

I found the most amazing thing at a thrift store today

This guy!  He was only 59 cents which was so worth finding out what exactly it was

He looks like a new friend to me

more potential new friends!

!!!!!!

he came with this package I wasn’t sure what to expect

I definitely didn’t expect 2 of the tiniest glowsticks

tiny glowsticks for a tiny rave

so I figured out you’re supposed to put the glowsticks inside him

cute friend

best friend

If you die while making food in a slow cooker, whoever finds your body will have a nice warm meal waiting for them.

They can also eat whatever is in the slow cooker too
