"The thing about life is that you must survive. Life is going to be difficult, and dreadful things will happen. What you do is move along, get on with it, and be tough. Not in the sense of being mean to others, but being tough with yourself and making a deadly effort not to be defeated."
This is my old tumblr that I barely use anymore - tbh almost never except when I’m trying to get sleepy in bed and I can’t, so I just use this to mindlesly scroll and calm down. Sometimed I reblog things. 🦾✌🏽
horror as a genre peaked with courage the cowardly dog… and this isn’t even hyperbolic or supposed to be funny it’s genuinely the scariest fucking thing that’s ever been created i’m still traumatized
everyday i wake up its another remake another live action another revival another reunion another one and another and another just more and more and more and more
i posted this yesterday before i knew there was a fucking willy wonka prequel being made. see you all in therapy
“you can’t forget your mother tongue” okay but have you considered bilinguals and polyglots whose first language isn’t english and whose development during adolescence was shaped by consuming content and media only in english and have ever since viewed that second language, foreign to their own, as a better outlet for their emotions and thoughts? as Yiyun Li said “it is hard to feel in an adopted language, yet impossible in my native language.”
one of the things doing a gender studies degree taught me is that there’s an expectation for women to self-flagellate for talking about Social Issues in public, and that there’s always someone who’s ready to jump in and tell you that you’re not self-flagellating enough, and then probably also remind you that guilt is unproductive despite just guilt tripping you.
@ the men reblogging this:
Another thing I learned from doing a gender studies degree is that men are overpraised for merely thinking about social issues one time and making them feel bad is verboten because then they might stop occaisionally thinking and that would be the worst, unrecoupable loss to the movement.
Petition to change “he looked at her like she was the sun” to “he looked at her like she was the moon” and any other variation bc I look at the moon in wonder and love and amazement while I’ve only ever just squinted angrily at the sun
He looked at her like she was the sun, in that he never looked at her except in frustration. He basked in her warmth, he complained when she was gone, but he never looked. On days she was muted, he complained. On days she was stronger, he hid from her. He never looked at her until she was leaving, and in the beauty of the sunset he wondered how he’d never seen her before.
I want foods and drinks without unnecessary things in them
And I want none of it to have been made by slaves, is this really so much too ask for
People will reblog this then talk about the epic wins and freedoms of capitalism and by association consumerism
Lucky for you I don’t buy any of it and that’s the beauty of capitalism bud. All my clothes are organic except for band tees and my necessities.
You have a very terrible understanding of politics, history, and reality.
^Me when I’ve apathetically accepted the fact that I have to be conscious shopping instead of companies just not horrifically violate human rights in the first place
what TLJ probably meant: poor Kylo Ren look he had a reason to come into the Dark Side his own uncle tried to kill him :’((( it’s also all Luke’s fault, blame him, he gave up on Ben so easy!!
what I, an intellectual, learned form TLJ: if Luke “there is still good in you dad Vader” Skywalker takes one look at Ben Solo’s mind and thinks this one is irredeemable then well, shit, I absolutely believe him
Kylo: luke tried to kill me when I was just a child!
What Rey Should have Said: And if he had then you wouldn’t have DESTROYED MULTIPLE PLANETS
Kylo: …..
Rey: YOU SLAUGHTERED BILLIONS
Kylo: …….
Rey: YOU MURDERED CHILDREN WITH A LASER SWORD
Kylo: okay but Luke…tried to kill me…
Rey: Because he saw your future where you murdered children and blew up planets
Kylo: Okay but if I WAS DEAD that would be BAD for me personally
Rey: But good for the billions of innocent people who you brutally murdered
Kylo: But…bad…for me…
So
TRAGIC
Rey: I don’t think you understand how this “Sad Backstory” thing works
Not just that, but literally IMMEDIATELY after almost getting killed by Luke he goes and kills all of the other jedi-in-training who won’t follow him. His first action after almost being killed, because Luke thought he was going to be evil, was murdering people.
I still can’t find the logical connection here like why would that be your second step
Kylo Ren: Luke planned to kill me because he unfairly judged me as being a monster!
He was so convinced I was evil he was going to kill me!
SO I MURDERED A TON OF CHILDREN
And then joined a bunch of space fascists
And helped them blow up half a dozen planets
Rey: Well
you sure proved him wrong
Kylo Ren: If Han Solo were here, he would tell you how wrong you are
Rey: Well, isn’t that just piss-poor planning on your part?
All I can now think of is that bit from Simpsons
“I can’t help being the way I am!
When I was younger my parents were brutally murdered right before my eyes
‘kids these days have it easy’ thats the point thats the point thats the whole point we’re here to make it better for whoever comes after you sad selfish self absorbed puddle of wank
