Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive Do every stupid thing to try to drive the dark away Let people call you crazy for the choices that you make Climb limits past the limits Jump in front of trains all day

And stay alive Just stay alive

Play with matches if you think you need to play with matches Seek out the hidden places where the fire burns hot and bright Find where the heat's unbearable and stay there if you have to Don't hurt anybody on your way up to the light

And stay alive Just stay alive

People might laugh at your tattoos When they do get new ones in completely garish hues I hide down in my corner because I like my corner I am happy where the vermin play

Make up magic spells We wear them like protective shells Land-mines on the battlefield Find the one safe way

And stay alive Just stay alive

I honestly think Chainsmoker Cat is poised to have significant cultural potency.

On its face, it's a crude comedy anime about, well, an anime cat girl with a crippling nicotine addiction. However, under the slapstick, it's got undercurrents which point towards other matters of social commentary.

It not-so subtly shows how drug addiction is a coping mechanism but also fucking ruins your life and makes you a seemingly inconsiderate asshole towards those around you.

But also: it much more subtly points to how these coping mechanisms are more likely to be used within communities that are already under higher degrees of societal pressure with very few avenues for social advancement.

Because it would appear that cat girls are in fact a great allegorical representation of the experience of societal marginalization, while not directly representing any individual real world group.

The anime cat girls are not specifically trans women, or immigrants, or a racial minority, or anything else- they're cat girls.

But they ARE shown on screen to all have low income apartments. They are shown to be offered worse jobs and menial labor positions. They are called specific terms that sound a lot like slurs. The police treat them differently. The neighborhoods they dominate appear to have negative stigma attached to them. The girls that are socially respected by non-cat girls are the ones who seem to play the most to respectability politics, and even then they just get patronizingly regarded as "one of the *good ones*."

But on top of how they are broadly disadvantaged and disparaged, they are also simultaneously fetishized.

All of which very straightforwardly tracks onto the experience of marginalization and represents many of the typical tools employed against Black women, trans women, immigrants, and others. Anyone of any marginalized background or anyone with any experience with personal or familial addiction can find something to relate to when watching the anime cat girls.

the same jacket he wore to the 2019 double or nothing press conference… lies down in the dirt.

[adampage]

unsure if anyone posted this here already, but a lot of folks have asked about the line, “after all these years i can hear his words coming back to me…i’m going to have to find something else to do.”

the line, “you’re going to have to find something else to do” is a callback to an interview Hangman did with Jim Ross in 2019, where, if you can see in the thumbnail, he is wearing the same black suit jacket and a white shirt.

the person who said these words to Hangman was his father, and it was during an anecdote about how his father told him he wasn’t going to stay in the tobacco business like the rest of his family. that he was going to have to find something else to do. it is another reference to Hangman’s new beginning.

a reminder that this was also right before his match against Chris Jericho at All Out to become the inaugural AEW men’s world champion. months after he made the promise at the press conference that he would become the first world champion. it is a promise that he ultimately did not keep.
