conversations with alhaitham (cw: a little insecure reader/self indulgent)

"haitham, am i not likeable?"

"...why are you asking?"

"you know me, i can't seem to make any friends."

"what are you talking about? you have lots of friends, you practically know all of the akademiya."

"yeah but, they don't last!"

"everything comes to an end, my love."

"but what about us? what if suddenly your feelings change? i can't handle the future. not everything lasts, and i know this! i-i just don't know what i'll do when i lose you too..."

"... we may not know what the future holds. life is ever-changing and nothing is permanent."

"even us?"

"perhaps.

but i don't like that thought either. in the future, there may be a possibility that we will part. be it by our choice, or our untimely death. but here in the present? i would do everything to prevent that future, because i know, with all my heart, that i want to spend the rest of my life with you.

so please, do not fret about the future and focus on me, on the present. because i am certain that i will love you, more than yesterday, and less than tomorrow."

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.

#You're going to feel like you're being rude and that's okay #They're going to act like your best friend at first #And slowly get more agitated #the more you try #To stand your ground #But they're not your friend #They're trying to sell you something you don't want

Incredibly alarming that talks of “peace” in Gaza seem to extend no further than a ceasefire. How do you think they’re gonna start off where they left off themselves? Their houses are destroyed, so many have lost mothers and fathers and brothers and children, they still have no clean water and no food. Any area Israel withdraws out of is an area it already knows has been rendered inhospitable. There was even a direct quote by some IOF soldier gleefully stating how he “wasn’t sure Palestinians could go back to their homes.” So what happens when the US “succeeds at negotiating a ceasefire”? Who will be responsible for helping the Palestinians rebuild all that they’ve lost?

#Just so incredibly heartbreaking #Watching the footage that has come out of Khan Younis is a different kind of pain #It’s a whole city razed to the ground and people are #Trying to salvage what they could but their homes don’t even exist anymore

I cannot put into mortal words how fucking badly I want that swedish goat to burn. We live in a modern surveillance hellscape and not only is big brother watching you but he’s monitoring your purchase habits so he can sell you a smart refrigerator that will spy on you for the cia. the full weight of modern technology can be rallied to protect that straw monument to human hubris and I want us to burn it anyway. I want the might of modern society to crumple in the face of a drunk swede with a zippo lighter. we can do it just take my hand

#gavle goat #gavlebocken #god please just burn it to the ground #to be loved is to be changed #and I love that goat for how it burns #I’m way too intense about it please just burn the goat please please

Gym leaders and such often have names that match their type which raises the question: which type would you specialise in based only on your name?

Been thinking about my old fakemons and what good good pubbies they are.

Cerbernard's barrel is full of aged berry juice that works as a Full Heal for lost and injured mountaineers. Berrel's barrel is full of Berrel.

#scribbles #fakemon #pokemon #cerbernard's tusks aren't tusks as much as they are frozen drool #honestly i am still not 100% set on typing #i've tentatively settled on ice/normal but also maybe they should be something that resists ice?#idk man i just like buppy #EDIT i have decided Berrel is Ground (it likes to dig storage bunkers for berries it finds)#and Cerbernard is Ground/Ice #Ability Thick Fat or Fur Coat #1k #5k

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can��t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

#this is the sort of observation I make here that people #go off and write their thesis about #so while I’m not expecting to be the first or cleverest person to say this #if you do use it as a springboard #tell me if you get a good grade ok?#I’ll be tremendously proud of you #like if you take a shitpost and use it to craft deep attentive thought on something important #I just think that’s probably the most noble use of a human brain #it makes me want to take off my hat and slam it to the ground in inexpressible emotion #it’s a cowboy hat btw #and I say something like GOLDURN IT THAT KID SURE HAS DELIVERED.#ok so don’t deny me this #especially if you correct me after a long research journey #GOLDURN IT THE KID IS RIGHT!
