#My version of a tiktok audio I guess

[anzulvr]

Karma with a perfectionist mom-like reader (good grades, sweet, used to be class A yada yada) that pretends to be aloof and innocent but secretly has similar humour to Rio and Karma?

Like imagine reader saying "the things I'd let them do to me." With the most stoic, nonchalant face ever 💀 or them watching Karma beat a bully till they're back with God with a small supportive smile going, "You're doing great, darling! Take your time. 👍"

what’s up ty for request sorry this took forever😭!! This is my first time posting in a while and I still haven’t done all request :,).

— You’re the walking embodiment of the “I could accept him as he is- the atrocities are apart of him” tiktok audio.

— Before you joined E class, no one really knew you personally(except for Karma) so the first few days were pretty formal.

— That was until you got comfortable and your more outgoing side showed through.

— You went from sweet and quiet to making the most out of pocket jokes.

(does anyone say that anymore? idk!!)

— Even then, you’re still really kind and helpful, just not in the ways they’d really expect.

Someone needs tissues? You’ve got it.

Someone feels sleepy? They can rest on your shoulder!

Karma needs 12 ounces of Wasabi and Sriracha to torture a grown man with? You’ve got it.

…

Your classmates think you’re a bit too helpful.

— Yk how they call Karma a sadist all the time? They coin you with the masochist name to match.

(Couple goals???)

— E class can never guess what you’re next line is going to be.

“That should be me.” And it’s Karma dragging Nagisa in a fight.

— You praise Karma a lot. Like alottt.

(He needs to get the Validation somewhere)

It gets to his head too. (Korosensei needs to humble him again)

Karma will finish beating someone up and all you say is

“Karma you’re so talented!” Or “Karma you’re so strong!!”

(No ones even surprised anymore😭. They’re come to terms with it.)

Course there’s still lots of ways you and Karma differ.

Even if you’re able to be a more real version of yourself after leaving A class you’re still responsible!

So a lot of the times you keep Karma in check.

“Let’s skip.”

“No we can’t..! It’s against the rules and Korosensei would be-”

“Alright, alright I get it.”

— Karma beat money out from some delinquent? You hand out bandaids, unless they were really reallly shitty- in that case no bandaids.

— You get along with Rio so well, like cheese and toast, strawberry & vanilla, and whatever two other things go together!!

She’s so psyched when she finds out you and Karma are together because she can (lovingly?) embarrass the hell out of both of you.

— don’t worry though Karmas already got a great plan to get back at her, and you’ve probably got everything he needs in that bag of yours.

<3 again sorry this took like forever, and sorry to everyone who I haven’t replied to yet :(!! Ik it’s been super long.

May I humbly ask about your animatic-making process?

i got you

1. Find an idea

I usually get my ideas from tiktoks or some songs.

I kinda try to fit the song to the character I want in it lmao

2. Download the audio

I’m an android phone user so downloading stuff is really easily.

I usually use YTMP3.com to download my stuff

there is a lot of websites with that link but l usually pick the second or first one

Then insert the audio in Alight Motion. I use Alight Motion a lot since there’s a lot of choices there.

Also I use the APK version so I don’t have to pay for premium features. ALSO THIS IS ON MY PHONE. I use an Ipad to draw….

3. (Optional) Storyboarding

GUYS TBH IN MY ANIMATICS I DON’T STORYBOARD

EVERYTHING IN MY ANIMATICS, I LITERALLY JUST WING IT LMAOOO

The only animatic I did need to storyboard was Floyd’s little minecraft song angst video LMAOOO:

a lot of people happen to storyboard their animatics so they have a plan but i literally storyboard in my head and if i think it looks good, i just put it in 😭😭😭

I literally have to go on my old tablet to fetch some of my old content here

4. START DRAWING

In my drawing process, it’s kinda easy unless I’m using a bunch of colors.

I also try to change the styles up so you can differeniate the animatics from eachother like how in Jade’s Laufey video, the colors are warm and soon turn pale and cold. And in the To Love a Boy, it’s like pt 2 of Jade’s Laufey video but in MC’s perspective and in which the MC does not return his feelings so the colors aren’t warm as Jade’s perspective.

And then in Azul’s Laufey video, the appearance and color palette’s looks very sweet and valentiney since it’s in the MC’s perspective on having a FAT FUCKING CRUSH on Azul

Epel was the hardest because during that time, I was not that active on TikTok and school took my time so it took a lot of time to gain back the motivation and finish it

ALSO, i literally draw on my Ipad now and I send the pictures to my phone to edit them so it’s an annoying process since I DON’T WANNA PAY FOR ALIGHT MOTION WHEN I CAN GET IT FOR FREE

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT TOOK ME A YEAR?? My “I Wanna Be a Princess!” MUSIC VIDEO… it’s not animatic but that took like a year to finish because I forgot about it but I did so well on it.

AND YOU CAN TELL HOW LONG IT TOOK BECAUSE THE MC APPEARANCE ALREADY CHANGED

5. Editing

Okay, I’m so happy that I actually got into editing for a bit because my videos would’ve looked so trash bro

LMSOOO but editing animatics aren’t really that hard unless you’re going for a specific transition or movement

I guess the transition that pissed me off the most were the ones in Jade’s Laufey video when it switches from warm to cold and Epel’s MLP video where it switches from silly to dark.

My editing process isn’t that unique. I just insert the song, move the pictures, and done 😭😭😭

6. Touch-ups

Touch-ups include subtitles, effects, filters, etc

I don’t really use filters for my animatics unless i’m going for something

BUT SUBTITLES?? yeah I use them a lot lmao

But also trying to fit the subtitles with the animatic is hard bc IDK WHAT TO GO FOR so i literally pull them out my ass

7. Post

I don’t do much about posting or what to say with my animatics

i just post them

[just-antithings]

you want problematic songs?? on this anti blog? oh boy do i have the song for you, which based on a quick search on tumblrs shitty system, doesnt seem to have been suggested yet let me introduce you to my little pony: friendship is magic fansongs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH2Ns9Tewpo (certified bronies will already have guessed which one this is)

specifically from "friendship is witchcraft" the abridged series (fandub) this whole song and a lot of the animation is fanmade. its about psuedo-incest. its lowkey a banger. ive seen people on tiktok use audio from this song on their edits. it has 2 million views. for historical context, twilight sparkle and shining armor are siblings, but in the abridged version theyre adopted siblings.

speaking of horse music, while the song itself isnt problematic, the animation for cupcakes is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43AuJjuxqAw pony gore warning. another certified brony classic.

TIKTOK SENTENCE STARTERS PART 6

some of these are quotes from tiktok creators, and some are from various other forms of media that were popular audios/trends on tiktok  

❛ Guess who didn’t eat me out last night? ❜

❛ ‘Ugh, why are you girls always going to Target?’ Ta get stuff. Duh. ❜

❛ Don’t act like you’re above wearing a cowboy hat for a tiktok. Oh! Handsome cowboy! Handsome cowboy! ❜

❛ How fucking elaborate do we have to make this fight?? Get down here!! ❜

❛ It continues to redefine ‘family’ as meaning: ‘some dudes who ate at my house’, instead of people you share a bloodline with. ❜

❛ What’s more American in this nation of living paycheck to paycheck than living your life a quarter mile at a time? ❜

❛ You’re gonna fuck the bee?!?! ❜

❛ Santa sent his deer to fuck your shit up cause you’re on the naughty list. ❜

❛ How many times do I have to tell you mind control doesn’t work on me? ❜

❛ I have never seen a creature look more like a rotisserie chicken, and I am including every rotisserie chicken I’ve ever seen. ❜

❛ You can actually have two loving and supportive parents and still end up weird and unstable. ❜

❛ Blaming it all on my father really takes away all the work that I put into making me the worst version of myself. ❜

❛ I want my mom to come home but if I call her and say “mom I convinced myself that the dog is a shapeshifter again.” she’s going to think I’m crazy. I’m not crazy! ❜

❛ Kill me or come cuddle with me, 'cause you’re freaking me the fuck out. ❜

❛ I mean these days I just be wondering like, will I ever feel fergalicious again or is it just over? ❜

❛ If I go missing please do two things: one - check near the parking lot of Sears, two - arrest Billy Ray Cyrus. ❜

❛ Daily affirmation, repeat after me: I am not the bigger person. I am the smaller person, who is prone to pyromania. ❜

❛ Why are they playing Shrek songs in church? ❜

❛ She gave me trauma beyond human comprehension. ❜

❛ Girl if you don’t get your coochie sticks out of the uranium bin… ❜

❛ The children yearn for the mines. ❜

❛ Alright here’s a lesson in physics… that’s not how physics works. What the fuck just happened?! ❜

❛ Run like you’re being chased by the love of your life but you’re not ready to love him yet, you still got some learning to do! You have to love yourself first! ❜

❛ Hate me or don’t hate me, but if you put holy water into a humidifier you won’t have a vampire problem. ❜

❛ Awwwww shit. You don’t know about doing whatever the fuck you want? Damn. I’m sorry. Hope you find that someday. ❜

❛ Shh! Don’t bother me, I’m having enrichment time in my enclosure. ❜

❛ Quite frankly, I don’t care where you taking us, cause anyone with an ass like that gotta be blessed and highly favored. So why wouldn’t I follow gods child? ❜

❛ What the fuck did Dora say? Where are we going? To follow that ass! ❜

I'm glad more people are getting privy to your madwheeler bopper of a song mashup! It is still on my sister's "play this at my funeral" playlist and my workout playlist 😁 💜💚💙🧡

Your sister having it on her funeral playlist is still the most unhinged, yet relatable thing ever !! Like I'm honored and flattered, maybe also a little bit concerned... but mostly just like, you know what... I get it.

I forgot the song existed for like 6 months, but remembered again just recently and was listening to it on repeat and then felt the need to re-share it again since there's a lot of new people here now that probably haven't heard it yet.

I think it's unlikely we'll get Smalltown Boy in the literal show, at best maybe we'll get the beat in a promo or something, because I do think the Duffers know it exists and they attribute it in part to Mike's experiences (ie. it being the first song on his Spotify playlist, along with all the smalltown mentions on the show and the word boy on display during the entirety of s4 with the Surfer Boy Pizza van (they picked that name for a reason...)).

So it would be cool to maybe try to make it an official remix so I can put it on Spotify. But that would mean contacting who owns the licensing, which is literally Kate Bush and Bronski Beat... Maybe it's easy to do, I mean I see remixes on Spotify all the time, even Kate Bush and Bronski Beat ones, so it's probably not impossible. I guess I'm just scared that if I try, my request will be rejected and then they'll remove my other version. So I kind of just want it to blow up and then maybe getting it on Spotify will be a lot easier if the license holders see it as a good thing for them and the original versions still getting listens.

TBH I don't even care about credit atp, because it's not my music... It's literally the beauty of Kate Bush and Bronski Beat and synth pop and how well it even matches up with the ST intro... So the epicness of them together is just something I can't understate. All I did was make a mashup of it. But I do want more people to hear it and experience it, because it's just so UGH! Even if it means ending up in the abyss of tiktok audios.

So if anyone is on tiktok and wants to create an audio for it, go wild.

Also want to say that the mashup just hit 1k listens on SoundCloud.! So thank you for enjoying it and same with anyone else that liked it!

BENSON BOONE - "BEAUTIFUL THINGS"

WE ARE SO BACK once again, with a theme day too! Can you guess what it is?

[3.71]

Kayla Beardslee: "Beautiful Things" evokes a desperate, heartfelt plea to a higher power that I, too, often find myself asking when the things I treasure are under threat: that is, Jesus Christ, how do we keep letting men get away with this? [2]

Taylor Alatorre: So much for "Thy will be done," I guess. "Thy will be done, as long as it means I get to keep this hot piece by my side" just doesn't carry the same moral or lyrical weight. Boone's hairless hair metal wailing may bring to mind the nu-glam crossover smash "Lips of an Angel," but even a pro-adultery power ballad with that title manages to avoid being as theologically challenged as this one. Anyway, religion talk over. This is a gawky, lumbering Frankensong whose body is grafted together from the three or four types of rawk music that are allowed on pop radio this decade, and the only reason the score isn't lower is that I'm constitutionally incapable of going below a [2] on a song that prominently features palm-muted guitar. [2]

Julian Axelrod: I didn't know anything about Benson Boone's backstory until I read TSJ Legend Katherine St. Asaph's writeup in Stereogum, but suddenly "Beautiful Things" made perfect sense as an audio origin story. You can hear the American Idol also-ran in the earnest six-string swell of the verses; the Imagine Dragons protege in the pained wails of the chorus; and the years in the TikTok trenches in the way he strings together several 30-second snippets into a semi-coherent whole. I had no idea he was a rollerblader until two days ago, but if you told me this song blew up soundtracking inline skate tricks I would absolutely believe you. [5]

Joshua Lu: It's easy to write this sudden chart-topper off immediately when you see the words "TikTok" and American Idol in Benson Boone's biography, and the familiarity of every component of "Beautiful Things" doesn't help its case. Rarely, however, does a Big Explosive Chorus actually feel earned — Ryan Tedder has been trying to create that exact climax for over a decade — and the ease with which Boone slides into that emotional outpouring tingles my brain. [6]

Jeffrey Brister: Definitely not the most distinctive song, but there’s something in the execution. "Beautiful Things" has momentum: always pushing forward, anchored around Boone’s capable vocal performance. It drops out at the right moment and then absolutely EXPLODES in the chorus. It's like an ideal version of the vaguely bluesy folky hoot-stomp music of the early- to mid-10’s.  [7]

Rachel Saywitz: A mishmash of all our worst musical impulses from the 2010s: Ed Sheeran’s melodramatic pop lilt, Imagine Dragons’ overprocessed and underbaked rage, being inspired by Jon Bellion. I’d have a bit more fondness for “Beautiful Things” if it fully leaned into the Christian hard rock that its hefty chorus pulls from, but Boone’s melodies are already much too drab. Add any more weight, and the cliff he’s standing on would crumble instantly. [3]

Katherine St. Asaph: I kind of like this! Seldom does someone unmarried come off as this much of a Wife Guy. [6]

Isabel Cole: The verses are fine, I guess, but the chorus is so unpleasantly shrill that it zooms right past anxious and even beyond desperate, all the way into the realm of the guy who will physically block the door to keep you from leaving. [2]

Aaron Bergstrom: I have spent far too much time trying to parse these lyrics, and I am no closer to unlocking Benson Boone's theory of relationships, personal or supernatural. There's a simple chauvinist reading here: girls are "things," lacking in agency, given to men by God. Then again, chauvinism requires a belief in male superiority, and Boone seems to ascribe even less agency to himself. His mindset is something akin to learned helplessness: these "things" may be taken from him on the capricious whims of forces wholly outside his control. It's not exactly Calvinist, as the future is still in flux, but there is nothing he can do to win or lose God's favor. In the later verses, Boone gestures at acceptance: the idea that peace and sanity will come when he stops trying to exert his will in relation to the "things" is vaguely Taoist. Of course, this is immediately undone by the theatrical outburst of a chorus, pleading simultaneously with a girl who can't help him and a God who won't, and we're right back where we started. So "Beautiful Things" is either a studied meditation on the human mind's ability to entertain multiple contradictory thoughts at the same time, or it's a lazy, jumbled mess of a song that I have now spent more time thinking about than Benson Boone ever did. [2]

Nortey Dowuona: The first verse is bland, unobjectionable pablum of the Noah Kahan variety, then the pre-chorus is a slimy plea for her continued presence. Then, apropos of nothing, Boone pleads to God not to take the beautiful things he has. He can't grasp the fears that make him believe he could lose his girlfriend, parents, fragile sense of self -- he just pleads with an imaginary figure to hold onto the very real relationships he has, which he refers to as things. Things are cupboards, chairs, chips -- creations of those who need them to be fed, to rest, to store food and clothes and sentimental trinkets. They can be beautiful, but they cannot be taken away by a God, simply forgotten or destroyed by people. Boone's plea, which feels more like a demand, feels shrill and weak, unable to carry the sentiments it is supposed to express. The blustery, frustrated delivery of the chorus is appealing but feels out of nowhere -- Boone is plaintive, even ruminating as the first verse trickles forth. The second verse is more compact, but its brevity sucks the power of the second chorus, since we are launched into a bellow after a whisper: unsettling and irritating, rather then engrossing and emboldening. The inability of Boone and producer/engineer Evan Blair to properly capture this despair forces mixing engineer Serban Ghenea to make certain leveling and processing choices to Boone's voice and the piano that further sabotage the song due to the failings upstream. But ultimately, unlike some other folks here, I don't hold this against Benson and his team. Grappling with the unending despair that comes with being a human being, then finding reasons in the relationships you have with your parental figures/romantic/platonic partners to not succumb, then fearing the loss of these relationships plunging you even deeper into that despair, is difficult. Many a songwriter has failed to convey these emotions. And failing to convey them is painful, but it is not worth any vitriol. [4]

Alfred Soto: He's cuddly, and he doesn't care who knows it. Take his beautiful things and he gets mad. Or "mad." I believe the rage like I believe the second half's rock freak-out, i.e. not at all. All is not lost: he's got passion, can leverage the sincerity, and, best, has good hair.  [5]

Brad Shoup: Boone's divebombs on the chorus are so post-grunge, it's like he's regifting a heart-shaped box. He's certainly not desperate enough to hold my interest, nor to distinguish his voice from any host of TV-soul mushmouths. [4]

Dave Moore: I instinctively shuddered when this started, but then the Adam Lambert glam whoa-oa-oas came in and I remembered, and even sort of missed, the important role of American Idol in the pop schlock ecosystem (Boone auditioned but withdrew). I guess AmIdol is like college now -- why take on the debt when you've already got a job lined up? Anyway, I can tell this guy must already be or at some point will be enormous because I immediately thought of three family members I should send this song to. [5]

Ian Mathers: I always knew there'd come a point where I felt like an old and out-of-touch curmudgeon when it comes to pop music. I hoped with the optimism of youth that it wouldn't happen, but c'mon: why would I be the exception? It is profoundly disappointing that when it came, it was a lot less "I cannot understand these radical new genres, sounds, thoughts, emotions that are happening around me" and a lot more "can I please opt out of hearing generic pop/rock for as long as people are going to sing like this, it is profoundly annoying." [3]

Andrew Karpan: Despite his repeated, bleating agitated, sadboynumeta-framed requests to the contrary, someone really should take “all the beautiful things” away from this evil, short-mustached man.  [2]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: Really interesting as a piece of work without ever being "pleasant" or "good to listen to." The verses feel like a calculated attempt to write one's first song, all of the obvious plainspokenness and gee-shucks invocations of the almighty lined up with a clean execution that actual first songs tend to lack. The chorus is something else entirely, a rootsy stab at the soulful dubstep pop moment of about a decade ago. "Beautiful Things" is a puzzle with only unsatisfying conclusions, all of its choices together amounting to nothing much at all. [3]

Leah Isobel: Gormless. [2]

I am-back from the dead to finish part 2 of that mini rant I made about underrated gems! Ima just skip the paragraph and get straight to it

Disclaimer: I’m not saying that if you find out about something from a popular trend, tiktok audio etc that that’s bad or your a fake fan or anything like that, if anything I think that’s a good way for these creations to finally get the attention they deserve! My rant is really about how underrated these things are even though they shouldn’t be and how I wish they were more popular not about how people find out about it, I apologize if I come off rude to I mostly just exaggerate for comedy and I hope not to offend anyone 🩷 let’s get to it!

This^…now what’s even messed up about this artist is that not only are they multi-talented in a bunch of different genres, have hundreds of songs, and has been making music since at least 2012, but two of their songs blew up ( one of which ; hot milk; blew up twice!) unless you had a animation meme phase as a kid you can garentee that nobody knows or talks abt snails house! And it makes me wanna cry because of the 6 years I’ve been listening to them not a single one of their songs have flopped.

Now just like ujico bee and puppycat is actually getting a lot of attention lately due to finally getting uploaded to Netflix- but as a long time bee and puppycat fan who watched the YouTube series 4 years ago- where were people when this show was going on??? Like for years I would always search up bee and puppycat to see if anyone was finally paying attention to it

AND THIS—-THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE-

I bet you-I bet you 500 bucks and your life if you can guess who these guys are

.

.

.

No clue??? Yknow this song? The song that should’ve been the moment that this group finally finally blew up because their remixed song got really big on tiktok?

It was made by them, then remixed by the bao person, and then reup loaded into a sped up Version this year. Now as someone who heard banana shake ages ago I found out about humming urban stereo a whole two years before their song blew up…why are they still so underrated??? Like I’ve been listening to them for two years and yet most of their old songs still have ( I kid you not) under 100 likes-( 21, 10,5)

That is atrocious… this song blew up-TWICE- and their still barely getting any attention!

I swear sometimes I wanna cry when I think abt it, now at the very least lately this year all the things I’ve been enjoying have weirdly been getting a lot of attention thankfully! But im just hoping it stays that way

Charge Out Of This

It has been a rough week on those for whom change comes slowly. It is exacerbated all the more if the change is against everything you believe to be true (even if it isn’t). Just in the last two days, we have seen people come completely unhinged over a Bud Light beer can. It all started when a special one-off can of Bud Light bearing the face of Dylan Mulvaney, the transgender woman and TikTok star, was delivered to her.

Then Kid Rock entered the chat, trying to regain relevance by—get this—buying a few cases of Bud Light, and then shooting them. I’m sure the folks at AB InBev were quaking in their boots. Oh, the irony of spending money to announce your boycott.



Oh, and never mind that Bud Light has supported the LGBTQ movement for quite a few years now, and issued its rainbow-themed aluminum bottle in the States for at least the last two years. I guess some folks missed that one, and I am pretty sure that AB InBev couldn’t care less what Kid Rock thinks or anyone else. The bottle will return this year, and a tall boy version—circulated on social media—will be available in Canada.



But I can only imagine the laughing emojis once social media picks up on the fact that Walmart plans to install EV charging stations at thousands of its stores by 2030. Beer is one thing, but EVs? There are enough other brands available that a boycott of one beer is simple. EVs being foisted upon us, as the naysayers contend, is quite another.

Naturally, the usual red herrings will be offered as evidence for why this will never work. You know. Child labor in the Congo, finite amounts of lithium, fossil fuels used to produce and deliver EVs, how well EVs perform in the cold, etc. Instead, they should be focusing on the real issues, which have always been range anxiety, price, and access to charging stations.



And it is the latter that Walmart is trying to help solve. Since Walmart’s stores are within 10 miles of 90% of the US population, these plans are huge. Of course, you would still need a Walmart app while traveling to know when you’re nearing one (especially if you really need one!).

I have said before that I am a believer in EVs at least in principle, but not just yet in terms of practicality. I need to be able to drive 750-800 miles in a day (that’s my upper limit now that I have gotten a little older), and I do not want to be fretting about charging stations, how far I can go on a charge, and how long it will take to get that charge. Put simply, I don’t fancy unexpected downtime.

But things are getting better, as evidenced by Walmart’s move, as well as news this week of a forthcoming Dodge Ram EV truck that has a range of 500 miles. Now we’re talking, and if they could put that in a van, we might just have a conversation starter.

While I applaud Walmart’s move, I am still scratching my head a bit, because their target market is among the least likely ever to buy an EV. Unless, of course, they live in California and have no choice. I agree that it is going to take commitments from heavy hitters like Walmart to help usher in the EV revolution, but the folks stopping for a quick charge may very well not be Walmart shoppers.



Then again, that may also be part of a complex marketing plan, because what else are you going to do while your car is charging? Sit there in the heat or cold? Or come inside to shop? Yeah. That same thinking helps explain why Walmart welcomes RVers to park in the outer reaches of its lots.

I’ll be watching today for my local media to post this news item to their Facebook feed. I’m sure there will be more heads exploding. It’s as predictable as the wind is out here. And as in all cases, to once again intone another of my pithy statements, if you don’t like what you see, just move along.

Now if Walmart could just get customers to return their shopping carts. Ah, but that’s a whole separate issue.

[blahandwhatever]

So I'm doing this gig that has me, for the very first time, venturing into the abyss of infinite-scroll short-form video content - TikTok, Facebook Reels, Instagram Reels; 100% algorithm-generated feed, no selecting of interests or searching for specific content (though I am allowed to like or skip videos). And I am learning some things and having some times.

Some of it is less bad than expected. Surprisingly - or maybe not so surprisingly, given that it's the leader in the space - TikTok has provided the best experience by far. I don't know if it caught the 'meow' in my username (no, it's not supermeow..), but it served up a lot of good cat videos right off the bat, plus some good humor and other stuff that was reasonably worth watching, with only the occasional video I really disliked. I thought, okay, I can have some fun with this - not to the point that I'd ever seek out this mode of content delivery in my free time, but still.

Things deteriorated as I wandered into the backwoods of Facebook Reels, where I found more mean-spirited and poor-taste humor; those creepy family video channels where the kids look dead inside and possibly malnourished behind their surface for-the-camera smiles and enthusiasm; romantic relationships that feel like cardboard cutouts of relationships, with all this choreographed man-and-woman song-and-dance stuff straight out of a 90s sitcom or standup act, only like, serious; a whole lot of toxic family and relationship dynamics under the veil of humor ('ha ha, look, my mom is so mean and miserable about everything! isn't that a fun personality quirk' girl I think you need therapy); a whole lot of assholes period, and just like, stunted, underdeveloped people - populations I've generally carefully curated out of my world. And the confidence of so many people taking their half-formed mush-brained thoughts and broadcasting them to the world like some kind of profound wisdom. (And then there's people like me who always second-guess themselves and never feel like they have much worth sharing. The fucking bliss of ignorance.)

By the time I got to Instagram Reels, I felt like I was in Room 23 on Lost. That one was truly all over the place, with videos of all kinds in all kinds of languages and cultures, some of which managed to resonate, but many did not due to either incomprehensibility or different sensibilities/reference points/whatever. There was some of the same type of stuff as on Facebook but also higher quantities of other things: some photography tricks and such as you'd expect; some aesthetic stuff but presented in annoying obnoxious ways; many cases of obnoxious music that didn't really go with the video; mixed bag of animal videos, some with annoying gimmicks; various types of compilation videos; lot of videos with a person laughing hysterically at the video (like a reaction video but with the reaction just being.. audio of laughter); lot of quotes, brooding, life advice, inspirational stuff, some good, some bad, some just kind of basic, and occasionally good psychological/relationship stuff but weirdly presented (some wellness lady eating an apple and nodding along while a voice described signs of narcissistic abuse?); guy who kept making videos with heartfelt messages to his wife (like cool but why do you need to tell her this via video on social media); 'billionaire mindset' stuff; video versions of chain emails that told you amazing things would happen to you if you liked/commented/whatever; and whatever the fresh fuck is up with these religious videos. It also seemed like the videos on this platform were the shortest on average (though there were some long ones I skipped - or occasionally didn't - as well), which added to the feeling of being bombarded with a million different things. Add to that the fact that I did this one late at night, and it then took forever to review and input the data for the session due to the unexpected quantity of videos packed into an hour, which dragged out the whole experience past my bedtime and gave me a weird fucking time trying to get to sleep.

Slowly, the algorithms adapt - in their overly literal and specific ways. I'll like one video of someone untying a knot with some topology trickery, and then I'll keep getting videos of people untying knots, as though this is a hyperspecific Special Interest of mine; I'll like one video of a cat eating corn, and now I'll get more videos of cats eating corn, which I will never like again because I simply cannot allow this specificity to spiral out of control. I liked one video of a black guy getting a haircut solely due to humorous commentary, and then I got sooo many just straight-up videos of black guys getting the same type of haircut. Hate to be all normative and shit, but I think you algorithms need to get more neurotypical.

That being said, some of the irritating stuff also declines with each session. My Facebook Reels feed is increasingly populated with instructional and informational content, as I either skipped or never liked a lot of the other stuff it served up.

Regardless of the content itself, I would never seek out this way of consuming it, and that people actually enjoy or even prefer a nonstop mindless stream of content like this is wild. Autoplay and autoreplay are completely odious things to me - as is infinite scrolling. Shit needs to stop. Shit needs to not move until I tell it to. I need time to process what I've seen, maybe look at the comments, and actually think about what I want to watch next, if anything. And ideally a selection of things to choose from laid out in front of me, not just one video after another shoved in my face.

In any case, it's been an interesting bit of sociocultural exploration.

Our world is in so much pain right now, Israel in crisis, a war where innocent people being slaughtered, for their beliefs, hundreds dead, thousands hurt, historic cities in rubble, so many still missing including 17 Americans. Over 100 hostages - Gaza in complete darkness: no power, no water, now today another earthquake in Afghanistan, now, Russia taking advantage of the worlds attention to Israel, with a new attack on Ukraine. Reports on social medias from US residents all over, posting of military jets flying over various cities and states, what are we not being told, and US elected politicians playing games with a speaker position - which impacts our democracy and our support for aid for any of the above mentioned crisis - get your shit together politicians! Remember it’s “We The People” - Party lines aside Vote the game players and idiots out! Take our country back to civility, bipartisan working together to fix and make our country what it is to be! The place my grandfathers, cousins, and even my soon to be ex-husband, fought for! Actions matter! Change It!

I have always been a deep feeling person, things that happen in the world, tragic events, and so forth, they effect me more than most I guess, I’m feeling so uneasy, my heart is hurting for what we have become, where is our civility, our kindness’, our love for one another, where is it!

I don’t have all the answers, but we need to do something our very own humanity is at stake, we can’t get it back if we let it go! It starts with each of us! Sometimes one at a time can create change! Simple acts of kindness & love. Even a smile in a rainstorm can spread!

It’s a rainy day here, it’s also “National Coming Out Day!” Which to clarify, isn’t to force people (LGBTQ+) out of the closet - but rather to let them know, that there are resources available, and people who will support and love them! I Love them!

Tonight, 53 minutes after midnight, (Oct. 12th) -25 years ago Matthew Shepard took his last breath after clinging to life for days, after being horrifically beaten in a hate crime, for being gay. His death effected me so much, both bad and good, it’s why I live proud now, it’s what sparked my activism, it changed my very soul. In the years that followed, I was fortunate to able to interview his mother Judy Shepard, twice, years apart. I also got to give her an award! Judy Shepard is a perfect example to what a person can do! Which is why I believe we can change our paths! One action, can inspire another, we can pass on kindness, love, and change, if we truly do it!

Sometimes in the chaos, of our lives and our world we feel alone, tiny, even insignificant. When one person notices and acknowledges us, we feel seen! I have experienced this!

When Matthew Shepard happened there wasn’t social media like we have today, but when he died Judy Shepard statement was simple but so powerful she said "Go home and give your kids a hug. And don’t let a day go by without telling them you love them." - perhaps in this moment of our chaos of our world we should do just that, not just our kids but to all we care, love and cherish! No one is guaranteed tomorrow! I send you all Luv & Hugz! I’ll get off the soap box now!

Wanna ask and rant.

Do not have Tiktok, never downloaded the app or made an account.

My friends send me some occasionally and I just listen to them on safari or Firefox. Usually okay, but sometimes I get massive issues with the website.

It asks you make an account on PC, tells you and even sends you to the app store when you click the wrong button to get you to download the damn thing. Most recently I can’t even hear the audio of one. I used different browsers (safari v Firefox), I used Bluetooth speakers, restarted my phone, and also used my phone and iPad. Nothing. Fucking. Worked. I couldn’t get the audio and since my friend sent it I was only more determined to get it to since I guess it’s funny. I trust his humor is like mine.

At the end, I just rudely told him to NEVER send me tiktoks again. I’m not dealing with this frustration again. Anyone else who does will get told the same message. Fucking screen record or find a way to download the video if it’s that necessary I see it. You could probably even find a version on YouTube. I refuse to open those god forsaken links.

I’m persistent in NOT downloading it since I do hate the rampant privacy and data collection issues it has (though I recognize being on the website itself also has these issues, but I’d like to avoid where/when I can). I just KNOW it’ll rot my attention issues, and probably like everyone else I know, spend literal hours on it. I’m not giving in by sheer willpower and general stubbornness. I’ve gone on nearly 3-5 years since it’s popularity without installing it, I’ll continue my personal streak until I’m eating dirt.

So I guess my question is, anyone in the same boat as me who gets sent links and never uses the app or has an account, is the browser just as un-fucking-usable for you as it is for me?

#this is not like a side eye at ppl who use it #I’m just frustrated and want to know if anyone is in my boat lol #I try to see if other ppl experience website issues but it’s all avid users talking about it #tiktok #my post

I wouldn't wish this (catching covid) on my worst enemy. Unless of course, we're talking about my worst enemy, the politicians who lift all the safety measures against covid and pretend like the pandemic is over even though the numbers are spiking. Fuck you, politicians, you know what you did!

#Lisa's bullshit #covidiots #I hate it #Just stay fucking home when you're sick! #I caught that shit because my dad's coworkers went to work even though they were having symptoms #The weekend before my new semester starts #I'm gonna have to write so many emails so i can keep the seats in all my seminars #I fucking hate it #WEAR YOUR FUCKING MASKS #STAY HOME IF YOU'RE FEELING SICK #AND THINK FOR YOURSELF INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO EVERYTHING THE GOVERNMENT TELLS YOU #THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING #THE INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO THEM THAN THEIR PEOPLE #So wear your mask #The pandemic isn't over #tag rant #My version of a tiktok audio I guess

getting non-existent feminine products

(tiktok prank)

character(s) : amajiki tamaki, bakugou katsuki, shinsou hitoshi (bnha)

legend : [Y/N = your name] afab! reader, but they/them pronouns used, quirk not mentioned

headcanon type : crack, fluff (x reader)

note(s) : i choose tamaki because i’ve been lacking with him lately but NWNDNWKX please this trend is so funny 💀

»»————-　♡　————-««

amajiki tamaki

the fact that he even has to get you feminine products was enough to make him blush

yeah, even though he had to get you feminine products in the past— he’s still quite shy about getting them in the grocery store (it’s the stares, not the concept)

WHAT MORE WHEN YOU DECIDED TO PRANK HIM?? poor tamaki

“tamaki, could you buy me more feminine products?” and he stops in his tracks, and a blush spreads on his cheeks “s-sure. what do you want me to get?”

“cooch pouch version 2.”

he blinks, and it looks like he has to pass out, “c-come again?”

“cooch pouch version 2. it’s in purple and pink packaging, tama!” the fact that you’re not even the slightest bit of embarrassed, makes him shake.

“okay, bunny. just stay here.” he sighs, and gets out of the car— and that’s when tamaki set off to get you ‘cooch pouch version 2’

he was looking around the feminine product isle, and he was literally about to ditch everything, run back to the car and cry himself to sleep, when he couldn’t find ‘cooch pouch version 2’

“may i help you, sir?” an employee finally decides to offer their services, when they noticed that tamaki was stuck in the isle for quite sometime.

okay tamaki. you’re a part of UA’s big three. there’s no need to be nervous because of this. he reassured himself first, before asking “d-do you have c-cooch pouch version 2?”

the employee blinks, “uh. cooch pouch version 2?” they ask again, and tamaki— very reluctantly, nods.

the walk back to the car felt shameful. “so? did you find it?” you discreetly film his reaction, and he shakes his head, absolutely mortified

“they,, didn’t have it.” tamaki whispers, a very aggressive blush on his face was evident. “i’m so sorry, bunny. they were nice, and i really tried—”

you just laugh. “no, it’s okay tamaki. you don’t have to look anymore.” you reassure him, patting him on the shoulder

you had to reassure him on your way back home 💀 he was just so mortified. you just agree to yourself that you’re never going to do that again

but on the brighter side, the tiktok did well, gathering 800k likes and 2.5M views. the comments were laughing at him, but they also felt REALLY bad

bakugou katsuki

katsuki’s already your errand boy, when it came to feminine products. he’s practically desensitized to it. even though he acts like he’s so annoyed by it

he’s so confused when he hears ‘super jumbo tampon deluxe; ribboned edition.’ and he’d like to say that he isn’t judging you

but he is, and it’s hard. “the hell’s that?? what are you even putting down there??” and you chuckle at his reaction

“don’t tell me you’re wussing out— on feminine products,” you tease, and he knows that. but he still rolls his eyes

“shut up. i’ll go get them, you’ll see.” he claims, opening the car door and marching off the to store

when he enters the feminine products section, he practically scans every single row for the packaging that has super jumbo tampon deluxe; ribboned edition on it’s front

but then there’s none. so then, that’s when his ruby red irises scan again, and again.

and of course, katsuki radiates intimidating energy— so no one dared on asking him what he was looking for especially in the feminine products section

katsuki— wanting to find the product, hesitates on asking for help, but he does anyway.

the employees blink, but they don’t want to question his motives— the expression on his face was enough to make them search the entire isle

afterwards, katsuki angrily marches back to the car— a slight blush showcased on his cheeks, most likely coming from shame

“so?” you have your phone in one hand, but it’s not very obvious that you’re filming him. “did you get it?”

“you.” he opens the car door, and slides right in, “you. humiliated. me.”

you laugh at his expression, “so i’m guessing that’s a no?”

“DUMBASS, SUPER JUMBO TAMPON DELUXE; RIBBONED EDITION DOESN’T EVEN EXIST. I LOOKED LIKE A FOOL.” he exclaims, irritated and humiliated by the entire encounter

and when you revealed that it was a prank, he,, wasn’t very pleased.

katsuki takes away your kissing privileges, and he’s in a rather silent mood for the rest of the day— but he says he’ll forget about it, if you’ll cook him dinner

you posted the tiktok after you got home, and everyone just assumed you passed away in the hands of your boyfriend 💀 at least you’re tiktok famous now

shinsou hitoshi

again, also very desensitized to the idea of getting you feminine products— since, it’s not something that you can CONTROL freely

and he’s not in the right place to judge you anyway

he won’t make a big deal out of it, hitoshi will just get your products, and then camouflage it with things from the snack isle

so, hitoshi’s questioning you— when you asked him to buy ‘urethra padding cleanser’ since he’s also familiar with the feminine products isle

he wasn’t aware on what THAT even was, it’s pretty obvious— due to the fact that his eyes were wide like saucers.

“kitten, do you need to go to the doctor?” he asks— he’s half joking, but he’s also half serious because wtf is a urethra padding cleanser??

“no,” you shake your head, “you said you wouldn’t judge.” you fein being bashful, and this seems enough to trick him

“right, sorry kitten. it’s just very concerning that you’d need something like that”

you blink, and he raises his hands up in defeat “i’ll,, try to find it.” even though he isn’t very convinced that he’d find it

he enters the isle, and he scans every single row— and to no one’s surprise, he can’t find it

hitoshi decides to look around again, and when he turns around— there’s a clerk there, smiling at him, and also at his assistance

“hello! do you need help in finding something?”

thank you, store employee. he’s glad he doesn’t have to ask “i,, guess you could say that. uh, does this store have a ‘urethra padding cleanser’?”

the store clerk looks at him like he’s gone mad. “uh,” they look through the isle once again, “i’ll be right back, we’ll need some assistance.”

it doesn’t take long for him to realize that ‘urethra padding cleanser’ doesn’t. even. exist.

he decides that it’s probably best for him to buy some snacks— because leaving the store empty handed feels weird to him.

the tall man apologizes to the staff as he leaves, and the walk back to the car is basically one long walk of shame

“it doesn’t exist,” hitoshi’s quick to say, placing the snacks in your lap— “urethra padding cleanser doesn’t exist. i should’ve trusted my gut.”

you snicker, and you’re glad that you’re filming his reaction— because the look on his face is just priceless. “did you ask for help?”

“i did, actually. they looked at me like i was on some weird shit,” he turns his head, and he’s now facing you “i’m never doing that again.” even though he actually goes back your next cycle, and gets you everything

when you finished recording the tiktok— and also when you revealed that it was all a prank, hitoshi looks SO done

“who would’ve guessed,” he sighs, laying his head on your shoulder “you got there, Y/N. i’ll give you that.” and you’re lowkey lucky that he loves you a lot to not even care 💀

you upload the tiktok in the following hours, and it does great. the comments were mostly laughing at his reaction at the end and they were also sympathetic for him

it somehow managed to get to kaminari’s fyp— considering that he sent you a video of him laughing hysterically the tiktok 🗿

needless to say, hitoshi will ask you if it IS a real product, the next time you make him buy products with,, weird and questionable names
