An eclectic tumblr where I dump all of my daily obsessions. Expect lots of rambling on Chinese art, mixed in with my random pop culture fixations.

people need to realise that a poor little meow meow must be a character who has committed atrocities you cannot poor little meow meow a good guy that's not how this works

what this post has shown me is that so many of people on this hellsite cannot distinguish between a poor little meow meow and a blorbo from my shows smh

However, keep in mind that if you haven’t seen or read all of the media involved, the person little-meow-meow-ing your blorbo may simply know more about their actions than you do.

there's so much pathologizing over why enemies to lovers is a popular trope (something something the normalization of abuse something something) when the simplest and less moronic answer is that narratives thrive on irony and reversals, and there's no greater irony than characters going from hating each other's guts to loving each other unconditionally. raw thesis-antithesis-synthesis.

Saying “I’m back on my bullshit” is funnier when you cycle through hyperfixations at random intervals because no one knows what bullshit you’re talking about unless you’ve made it obvious before or while saying it.

To be back on your bullshit you need to be off your bullshit ever. But I’m over here jumping from bullshit to bullshit like I’m playing some kind of platforming game. The only times I’m not on my bullshit are when I’ve fallen off the platforms and can’t get out of the lava to get back on my bullshit.

you wake up the same dysphoric body you always are & kiss your wrists sweetly because no one else is here to do it & you ask god for her blessing, please, one day, here, to be loved & loving & unbodied & she is quiet like she always is

So I went to an art exhibit recently, a collection of Native American art from pre-colonial times to the present. As you might guess, there were a few pieces whose artist was lost to time or erased. But instead of the usual “artist unknown” credit, the curators instead chose to label the artists as “Name Once Known”.

I think that’s amazing. It says, “we don’t know your name any longer; we’ll never know who you were, exactly. But you were a person once, and you mattered. You had a name, and you were loved, you had a life, and you made this art. And that means something. Your name was once known.”

I cannot thank you enough for making a meme out of Throne of Blood

I’m surprised more people haven’t. Toshiro Mifune makes just the best faces.

It is truly is a goldmine. I love it so much.

Toshiro Mifune was my first crush alongside Robin Hood and I still maintain that this shows that I have excellent taste.

unpopular opinion but

i think it’s not just allowed but actually a good thing to (want to) explore trauma and generally fucked up shit in fiction

even if it’s not your own, personal trauma

like

it’s good to try to understand things that happened/keep happening to other ppl

or things that might not (have) happen(ed) to you, personally, but are something that a group you belong to is statistically more likely to experience

it’s okay to want to know why there are people who do bad things

how they justify these things to themselves

what makes them keep doing them even when/if they realize what they’re doing is horrible

what having done these things does to them afterwards

I’d also like to point out that it limits the content you can find if rules like “you can only write about what you’ve experienced yourself” were actually a thing people followed. Historical fiction wouldn’t be a thing, sci-fi and fantasy would be dead, etc. Not to even go into a large part of being a writer (at least a good one) is being able to depict things in a convincing way despite not having experienced it yourself. It’s such a ridiculous concept to me in so many ways. No one just wants content creators to just constantly write their autobiography over and over and over again.
