#I’m a zoomer

[compacflt]

What does Ice (or Mav) think about the Obama gay rumors? Will they be tuning in to hear the story of the man who allegedly fucked Obama? Are they bi Obama truthers? Is Rooster? Is Hangman? Any other Icebama interactions you're hiding from us? His cameo cracked me up and I need to know more...

the obama gay rumors

first im hearing about this

#‘why would you ask me; a top gun blog; this’ #r u talking about the guy who’s claiming to be Obamas brother on Twitter #is malik obama now claiming his brother barack is gay ? #i may be a zoomer but im not sure im quite that terminally online #ice would probably think something diasapproving like #‘it’s just like when those damn republicans said he was born in kenya or that his wife is a man. ppl say shit just to say shit 👎’ #mav would probably be like ‘hell yeah obama join the club!!! 😎😎😎 you me and everyone else on earth!!’ #though mav (thinks democrats take too much of his income in taxes) would still be registered Republican #were it not for his liberal husband threatening divorce and the gop’s recurring threats to send the military to invade mexico #would he??? i CANNOT get a political read on tgm mav #1986 mav definitely believes Bill Clinton is an affront to god #2020 mav I’m not sure #‘ok fine higher taxes is the price i will pay for marriage equality’ #does this have anything to do with Obama saying he only was a communist in college just to pull mad pussy? (relatable af ngl) #read the authors note on wwgattai ch 9. i am not up to date on my obama discourse clearly

I never thought knowing what gurren lagann js would make me feel old but here we are

#maybe I’m just annoyed at zoomers calling KLK triggers origin lol #dead leaves too but yea

it’s a very strange feeling to go from being reasonably well-versed in millennial slang, and then looking at gen-z’s slang and realizing that it is very strange and a bit confusing, and then glimpsing gen-alpha’s slang and it’s even more removed and bizarre to me.

my vernacular is becoming very out of date, but also i feel no particular desire to update it? like, i’m fine with leaving certain terms or turns of phrase behind. they were fun but their time has passed, and continuing to try to use them is likely to cause confusion and distraction. but i hate a lot of the new stuff, and that makes me feel a bit like a curmudgeon, shaking my cane at the youngsters.

i don’t want to actually shame people younger than me for how they’re talking. language is fluid, and i’m sure i was a bit confusing to people older than me. but that logical knowledge does not remove my emotional response, which is largely frustration and… disappointment i guess? like it all just sounds so dumb sometimes, and i’m forced to remember that this means i am unhip.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i don’t have any grand conclusions or insights. language is moving, and i don’t feel like sprinting to catch up.

#personal rambling #maybe some of this is because i refuse to use tiktok? #like i’m just not on any zoomer heavy social media #so i’m not getting exposed to new slang as it develops #only after it’s settled and people expect me to know what it means #which is probably also why i have the disappointment reaction #because i associate the current slang with tiktok mostly #and tiktok is such a horrific mess in my eyes #some tiktoks are good and they end up on other social media #but they’re rare gems in a cesspool of really crappy attention-seeking content and misinformation and influencers and so on #so when i hear ‘tiktok words’ (which is not what they are but my brain is dumb) i’m reminded of my disappointment in tiktok

it was super nice of her to include a kesha shoutout 🩵

#i’m not funny #mine #taylor swift #1989 #1989 tv #1989 taylor's version #kesha #tik tok #suburban legends #throwback to when i didn’t know what the app tiktok was and thought zoomers were just rightfully appreciating kesha

it sounds like you harbor resentment and bitterness towards the entertainment industry. Which begs the question- why are you still working there??

As is a usual fact of life, one typically has to partake in things you may not like doing in order to gain the experience needed to make something yourself.

Plus, it helps having a healthy dose of reality put your passions and dreams into a proper perspective. Knowing what kind of environment and mechanations are at play helps with navigating the complexities of creating entertainment in this day and age.

#contrary to perhaps popular belief I do have personal aspirations that extend beyond doing Sonic fanart #I draw sonic simply because it’s fun and I enjoy it #One day I’d like to create something of my own #so the experience I’m gaining is valuable for that #no regrets just being realistic #Zoomer Sonic #text #anon #ramble #asks

Had my last post opp from surgery and the nurse today is one of my favorites. She always compliments me on my height in such an enthusiastic way and tells me how I look so young for my age 🥹

#the first time I had her and she found out I was almost thirty she nearly fell out #it’s just nice because I have been feeling really self conscious of my ✌🏼size✌🏼 lately #I also noticed this over the summer #and I don’t think it’s bc I look particularly young but more to how I dress #a lot of zoomers assume im their age and it’s funny to tell them I’m 29 #they GASP so loudly #kienote

[bright-and-burning]

very mild sorry 2 the mutuals who do not care abt the orange freaks my brain is really not a fan of thinking about other things rn

#obviously i’m enjoying other ppl’s stuff for other things but #the only ideas i get these days r like. put those zoomers in situations pt2847

[woundedheartwithin]

Maaaaaaan, yeah okay, I’m socially inept and terrible at talking to people, but at least I don’t fucking need ai to do it

#she speaks #fuck ai #I know every generation says this about the generations younger than them #but gen z y’all fuckin doomed #this is what I like to call modern darwinism #also I can’t believe there was a yakuza substory about this and I was like nah people don’t really do that #but no I just saw this shit on the news like???? #and look I’m not a boomer I don’t believe everything I see on the news #but when they got the gen z founder of a chat ai based app geared toward helping zoomers socialize I just #it’s hard to laugh that off y’know #like damn #and boomers and gen x said the same thing about millennials and dating apps #but at least you’re still actually fucking talking to people with dating apps #you’re not even talking to each other with ai #jfc

[trickortreatmeout]

The older I get the more I (a young millennial) identify with my peers (older millennials) and I’m so comfortable with that.

#personal #it’s weird how the mind shift of people in their 30s have very little in common with me #became people younger than 25 have little in common with me cuz honestly I DO NOT understand zoomer and gen a culture and THATS OK!! #I’m glad I find common ground with 39yo now!!

Cel animation is that thing I use to hate as a kid bc my stupid child brain didn’t like the fact all old Animes or cartoons looked the same until I actually bothered to watch so many old shows to really appreciate it. How even if you can tell they’re all painted, that they all can have unique art styles but also the fact “wait someone had to draw this frame by frame on fucking paper?? Holy shit” And it is a absolute shame because of the tediousness and cost this genre gave its now gone completely.

It’s so sad it can’t be a genre like pixel art in games, where it’s considered outdated as no triple A games do it anymore but is still being kept alive through various indie developers. Cel animation simply because it’s on paper we won’t ever see many projects ever do this unless they are overly ambitious or really wanting to capture an old era. The only thing we have is cuphead and I appreciate it without playing it-I should but it looks hard as fuck💀-but I wish at LEAST we’d get more things where people would animate something digitally but use filtering techniques to make it look like Cel. Which is a thing, apparently for whatever reason The Simpsons tried to hide the fact they switched to digital for a bit so they used certain techniques to still come off as if it was Cel, even if certain things in the animation broke the illusion a bit.

And does this method have the same exact effect as Cel? No, you can still tell it’s digital by small details unless it’s pulled off super well. But is it less costly and more of the way the genre of older animation could come back without the project taking fucking years? Absolutely.

#meg text #I become a boomer trapped in a zoomers body as time goes on #I’m not someone who hates digital fyi-look at my pfp ffs-but holy FUCK I miss cel #just because it’s dated doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be replicated #you don’t gotta go for doing everything on paper but there’s ways to make digital LOOK like cel #I’m only convinced no one has done this because either it still be too much work #or going from the anime angle nobody fucking knows old anime art styles past the popular ones #but everyone knows old cartoon styles siiiiigh #I get it’s a west thing but man that’ll never not irk me more #I miss when anime was a bit toony #another reason why cel animation tickles my brain because it could still look pretty but the art style would be unique #not to say all new anime art styles suck but pretty boys overtook characters with actual unique body or face types #fucking twinks man

From what I knew of Forspoken going in I assumed the mc was like this action movie type of hero where she’s dropping lame one-liners and everyone loves her and thinks she’s super cool, only for it to turn out that she has literally zero friends and everyone thinks she’s weird and annoying

#and that she’s THE ONLY CHARACTER WHO TALKS LIKE THAT #i found out this game was made by a team of Japanese devs and it fucking shows hrjkjl #they watched a couple of American action movies and went ‘write that down write that down!!’ #this is definitely how American zoomers talk for sure . Nailed it #after she gets isekai’d into the fantasy world and nobody can understand her it’s like . gdhfkg what is going ON HERE .. #the part where she goes ‘cross your heart and hope to die?’ and the peasant chick is like ‘you wish me dead?’ #hhhhhhh gdjgh #I’m sorry this game is chewing on my brain #(​I’m only on Ch 3 so no spoilers pls) #I was in a hole with Borderedlands and realized I could still dig deeper #Forspoken

i’m gettin really kinda sick of my sister like making fun of shit i like and being generally kind of a dick in that lighthearted “we’re siblings so you should expect this” kinda way but it just feels bad like i can never talk about my interests to anyone in my family besides my dad who is in fucking new jersey and i only get to talk to once a week and even then his instinctive reaction is sometimes some form of disdain if i don’t defend the thing i like passionately enough. and like even my main interest that isn’t inherently cringe ie robotics/computers i can’t talk about without getting an eyeroll or a “here [he] goes again” or a “don’t you talk about anything else” LIKE I HAVE TRIED TO TALK ABOUT OTHER SHIT BUT I JUST GET MADE FUN OF SO I KEEP MY FUCKING MOUTH SHUT!!!!!!!! i need a friend group Bad

#this is because she asked what i was watching and i told her socksBX is a roblox dev so i’m watching them play and she went #‘’you aren’t one of those cringe zoomers that plays roblox as an adult right’’ #WELL MAYBE I WANT TO EXPERIENCE A SENSE OF JOY AND WHIMSY I HAVEN’T FELT SINCE CHILDHOOD!!!! #aren’t you tired of being an obnoxious self-impressed cynical bitch all the time!!!! SHE’S THE ONE THAT SHOWED ME ROBLOX IN 2007 #sorry for wanting to enjoy something instead of being a supremely unpleasant person that gets NONSTOP ATTENTION AND PRAISE FROM OUR PARENTS

[speedofsoundsketches]

they also give us a tease of Sonic's world and then promptly trash in favor of le earth for the audience

“You see this here? This crazy awesome world with loop dee loops, checkerboard soil and a promise of an exciting adventure to come?”

“BOOM. San Francisco.”

#text #ramble #anon #asks #me to the producers of this stupid movie: ALRIGHT I GET IT YOU LOVE LIVING HERE #ONE BIG ADVERISEMENT PAID FOR BY THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT TO ENTICE PEOPLE TO MOVE THERE ONCE AGAIN INFECTS ANOTHER MOVIE #Hilariously I was born in San Francisco and while part of me thinks “yo represent #I’m just seething #STOP IT.

People inviting you to their house is so weird and generous, like….you want me here? In your home???? AND your gonna fucking feed me??? Like I’m your very own child visiting from far away in New York City or perhaps a foreign country???? All because we’re FRIENDS and you ENJOY MY COMPANY??? This is so magnanimous and altruistic that it’s bordering on almost suspicious bro, like what do u want from me 😭

#/lh #/j #but still #it feels weird but in a good way #just had a sleepover for the first time in maybe years #it was fun actually #but ppl never invite me over almost ever so it’s kind of a foreign experience #ppl come to my house sometimes but even that is an anomaly so #yeah #chronically online moment??? #gen z when they actually meet a live person and do normal people things: #those goddamn zoomers on their fiddlywidgets and roleplay bots #go get a job!!!! Grrrr 👿/s #I’m imitating a boomer #i need to stop rambling in the tags
