Hello new people and old friends, I am Neta. I'm 39 and go by they/them. I post about a lot of things but currently the Sleep Token hyperfixation has me in its grip. I also am a Cillian Murphy Appreciator.
I've started writing again so please feel free to check out the #mywriting tag on here if you're so inclined. Thank you.
“I’m becoming who I am and it’s the scariest thing I’ve ever done.” Posted from the PostSecret website.

Something I appreciate about Monkey Man is how doesn't try to frame revenge as just a pointlessly violent, self-destructive pursuit the way many films do. I think it's because Dev Patel was unafraid of adding a political element to the story. The kid wants to avenge his mother, but he also doesn't want what happened to them to keep happening to others. The presence of the hijras really drives this idea home. They fight with him not only because he's their friend, but because Baba and the nationalist party will bring violence literally to their door even if they don't fight back. I often roll my eyes at anti-revenge narratives. I think Dev Patel gets what it's like to be a victim of systematic violence in a way most filmmakers seem not to. Revenge isn't just a selfish pursuit that perpetuates the ~cycle of violence~, it can also be a desperate desire for the violence to end.
If people were too mean to you when you were growing up, a newborn animal will materialize inside your brain and it’s so so scared and shivering and it will stay there for years. Decades, even. And whenever you say something kind of weird but true to your heart the animal will tell you “Noo! You can’t say that! If you say that, everyone will hate you!”. The animal means well. It’s so so small and everything is so scary for them and it’s just trying to protect you. But listen to me. Listen to me. Whenever this happens, you can’t do what the animal says. You can’t. If you do, you’ll become as scared as the animal. You have to keep saying weird shit. You have to keep doing things the animal wouldn’t approve of. If you do enough things that scare the animal, maybe one day it’ll go to sleep.
tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse
No, no, no, you see on tiktok an algorithm feeds you misinformation. On Tumblr I feed myself misinformation from my charcuterie board of hand-selected unhinged mutuals.
None of that mass market junk. Only artisanal, small batch, sustainably cultivated, fair trade horseshit.
More Vessel with wings because I’m a little obsessed✨🦇
Taking a little break from doing historical research for fic purposes to give you this.
many are like “oh shit, you’re vastly more reasonable than the people deeply interested in misrepresenting you made you out to be”
To everyone on the reblogs of my “Vessels wingspan” post yesterday, this one’s for you ;)
Had to get a few more Sleep Token tattoo ideas I had out of my brain.
