i have this intrinsic revulsion to cutesy aesthetic small beanisms but am also deeply drawn to things that require a lot of care, detail, and nurturing which rubs up directly against those types of people often. Seeing people invested in my hobbies but they're doing it to be like #cottagecore is like such a perversion of the thing. Puppeting its lifeless corpse around for monetization purposes. Spending hours carting around your tripod to get the perfect shots to present yourself as if you are living in the moment enjoying the beauties of the world. Its honestly tragic.
i love that liv hewson is such a van understander. my trust in them is so strong honestly like if the writers said “we’re just letting liv hewson improv the entirety of van’s lines in s3” id probably nod and be like “as you should”
