Terrible Influence Tour Song Lyrics

(because this earworm is driving me crazy! transcribed from these recordings x x x)

We saw you from across the Internet, and we really liked your vibe I might just have to parasocially dedicate my life How'd I ever live without this warm feeling inside? So many ups and many downs, but hey, it's been a ride We're sorry for what we did to you We gave you love, we gave you abuse You wrote it in pen, I got the tattoo You blocked me, I want to introduce my family to you

T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E Say it to my face, you want to influence me Content, consume, you say it's crazy But I-D-G-A-F because it saved me

I can't get you out my head My first thought in the morning, my nightmares in bed You ruined my life, you kept me fed If it weren't for you, I would be dead What's theory, what's real, what's just fiction? Is it queerbaiting, or homoerotic friction? Endless greed, ruthless ambition Commissions open for the naked depiction

Is it them, or is it me? Am I dedicated, or fucking crazy? Too much, too young, too fast, it changed me But now it's terminal, this shit can't phase me

T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E Say it to my face, you want to influence me Content, consume, you say it's crazy But I-D-G-A-F because it saved me

#LOVEYOU, #AD #CANCELLED, #DADS It's not illegal, it can't be bad You changed my mind, you made me mad

Is it them, or is it me? Am I dedicated, or fucking crazy? Too much, too young, too fast, it changed me But now it's terminal, this shit can't phase me

T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E Say it to my face, you want to influence me Content, consume, you say it's crazy But I-D-G-A-F because it saved me

It's been a lot, it's been a time We need to move on and forgive the crimes This is our space, our time to thrive It's us against the world, together we'll survive

T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E Say it to my face, you want to influence me Content, consume, you say it's crazy But I-D-G-A-F because it saved me (x2)

scientists are still scrambling to figure out what “zigazig ahh” is so that they can give the spice girls what they really really want

the spice girls are getting impatient

war is upon us

When talking about disability and chronic illness, people don't understand that happiness isn't optional. Humans have a fun meter in their brain just like the sims, and that doesn't change for disabled people.

I love recognizing limitations and accommodating myself when I can, but at the same time, I WANT to do things for my own happiness. I WANT to cosplay at an anime convention, even if that means I won't be able to walk for 3 days. I WANT to go canoeing with friends, even if that means I'll be sick for 2 months after. I want my room to be clean and I want to decorate my space and I want to go have fucking fun in the real world and not just video games for once.

And when it comes to instances of stuff we do purely for fun, people still talk down to us and give us the "know your limits" speech like us having fun exists in the same context as breaking our bodies for the sake of capitalism. It's not the same thing. Quit shaming disabled people for doing shit. Let disabled people chose informed risk for the sake of fun and happiness. Fun and happiness are not optional.

[majaurukalo]

It’s always “know your limits” when you want to do something fun that makes you happy but when it’s about working and doing unpleasant things it becomes “push your limits. Everybody has responsibilities”.

Okay, Karen, gotcha! Now fuck off!

"came back wrong" but it's food that you heated up in the microwave

[abalidoth]

OK SO

For anyone who hasn't heard my Microwave Rant:

Microwaves are designed to be used at a broad range of power levels. If you're getting bad results reheating your food, and you're doing everything on full blast, try a lower power setting! 50% power for twice the time, just give it a shot. It gives the heat time to spread evenly, and prevents overcooking of parts that are exposed to more radiation.

People complain about reheated pizza a lot -- that's bc overheating the crust makes it tough and chewy. I usually do pizza on 30% power for THREE times as long because it's especially vulnerable -- and my crust always comes out nice and tender.

I think there's a good metaphor for Came Back Wrong here too: if you actually take the time to do your necromantic ritual and/or unholy experiment right, and don't rush it at 100% power, you're likely to get better results.

Since reading this post and following its advice, my microwaved good comes out so much better.

i really want people to stop writing scientists as awkward, stilted conversationalists who don't understand idioms or emotions and start writing them as depressed alcoholics who swear like sailors unless they're in a specifically academic situation

[knitmeapony]

Seriously the number of academics I have seen who look like gum on the bottom of someone's shoe but who can scrape themselves into a vaguely human position if you tell them there's grant money on the line is much higher than you would think

every single time this happens people drag out the same trite talking points, out in a single file and like clockwork - but for what it's worth, no you didn't have a mystical sixth sense that neil gaiman was out doing terrible things to people who were his fans. no, there is nothing in him that is fundamentally wrong and evil about him (much as i would like that to be the case), no, you actually cannot separate the art from the artist as anyone would like to do in these situations, and no, making authors and celebrities out to be bigger or better than they are is also perhaps not at fault (and talking points like this always veer dangerously close to blaming victims).

gaiman was an author. an author of considerable power and clout, and his behaviour was perfectly in line with those who are powerful and have a lot of clout. the way in which structures of knowledge recreate situations like this is not new - it happens every few years in universities, when professors take advantage of their students sexually or otherwise. an author like neil gaiman was just another powerful node of the system that produces knowledge, and we have been trained to respect that (for some reason. well for many reasons, but we don't have time to get into that). as long as their is currency attached to producing knowledge - ie, the currency of being a well respected author - there is going to be adverse advantage for those who have that currency.

gaiman abused and assaulted women who were financially dependent on him - he could only do this because he was rich and powerful. and every single author who has that currency has the same advantages, can wield similar control over their victims, and this is not something we can do anything about. we can talk about pushing people off their pedestals (as if that is going to do something), but until the system keeps rewarding you for being on a pedestal, you are going to have the higher ground that allows you to crush whoever sits beneath you. and i know, this is less than a solution than those people who are willing to engage with everyone's hurt feelings about how another author turned out bad - and what if we could stop putting people on a pedestal? but that's the truth.

i'm so tired man. i'm so tired of seeing the same, tired takes. i know it sucks that the answer is to not keep recreating systems of knowledge that make single people out into the holders of great truth - and capitalism sucks, and all these adverse incentives exist for someone to be a rich and famous author - but someone is going to have to acknowledge that this happening every few years with our favourite authors, artists, actors not because we're putting them on pedestals and won't someone please separate the art and the artist and couldn't you tell that his art was evil all along??? it's happening because - IP laws exist, because authors make money off of their intellectual property, and if they make enough money and garner enough respect for the knowledge production they do (no matter how that respect is garnered), there is going to be a class artsy people who have more power, and that means they can exploit it if needed. i know they feel like our friends - because they make art we like, but they are part of the intellectual elite, and just like billionaires, that is a class of society with power and the means to exploit it.

i know that feels like a leap when you're more concerned about good omens being renewed, but i need everyone to just. just have some perspective. there was this quote on my blog which gaiman had written, about love - for two of his friends getting married. and because he clearly respected those people, it was a beautiful quote, completely in disharmony with how he treated those women, the ones he did not respect. the ones he financially abused with his wife and sexually abused by himself. and i want you to know, that no matter how beautiful the quote was, i deleted it from my blog because he was raping that woman while he wrote it.

being on doxxing terms with a tumblr mutual is kinda funny like we met at yaoi university and now an year later we both know each other's exact locations

[lunerabo-deactivated20250206]

“Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today’s version of “seize him” imo
