Welcome to the Fox's Den, where I flail, fail, and share the things that make me laugh. Here, you'll find shit-posting, puns and politics mostly.
My catch-all tag for stressful subjects or state-of-the-world stuff is "World Shit".
The LiveJournal that preceeded this tumblr account was established in 2005.
Shipping is fun and all but I swear every single time someone makes a comment, whether as a joke or in a legitimate analysis, about there being "no other explanation" for a pair's interactions, I lose just a bit more of my sanity
Like, no, you guys don't get it. Romance is not about the Amount of devotion, it's about the COLOR. the FLAVOR of it all. a character can be just as devoted to their platonic friend as they are to their romantic partner, and they don't love either of them more, just differently.
But because the majority of people still have it stuck in their minds that romance exists on the highest tier of love, I'm stuck seeing endless takes that boil down to "these two care about each other too much for it to NOT be romantic" as if that's the core determining factor to how literally any of this works
In conclusion: stop telling me that I don't understand the story if I don't interpret the leads as romantic, I am TIRED
so interesting the fear that some buckaroos have over letting their art into the world because it is 'not perfect'. first of all it never will be. second of all the dirt and mess and truth are not problems we learn to get over and accept, they are literally what makes art great
Folk metal bands will be like "We mostly do heavy music and vocals with trad musical techniques, and also we're collaborating on a new track with Macklemore and the ghost of Elvis"
somehow, amazingly, i have hacked the impulse that makes me mindlessly scroll on my phone. it's not gone but i've paired it with a conscious thought process that goes like, "what's my goal here? i'm looking for entertainment, for information, for something that makes me feel more optimistic and interested in the world i live in..."
and because that kicks in between apps, too, i'm not doomscrolling as much. i'm intentionally seeking out posts or videos or whatever that actually mean something to me. when i'm not satisfied i walk away or pick up a book instead. most subtle yet impactful change i've gone through in years
i did not intentionally set out to change this. i've just been working on my mindset in general. hey, turns out having a good therapist again helps
