Idk man, I find it utterly offensive that I, Little Miss Moonchild, the girl in love with the moon, should be deprived of witnessing the eclipse. Borderline racist if you ask me. ☀️🌑
Iwjsojsiaakah Excellent question!! In this essay I would explain... OK maybe not, but I came up with two options I expect have enough build up and doesn't seem incongruous.
The first and obvious answer is Draxum ft. Donnie.
In simple matters, I imagine it happening something like this:
Also, in case they decided to have a turtle child someday It will go like this:
Draxum: We could easily take a turtle egg.
Usagi: but wouldn't that be like having someone else's child?
Draxum: Not at all. Every year there are eggs that don't fertilize. If we get one of those, I could easily use my alchemy and samples of your DNA to create a being in your image.
Donnie: Oh-hoho! That's my piece of cake!!!

The second one and a extended version of this one are here:
Rereading my work while writing some stuff and...turns out my favorite outfit to put Glorfindel in is just...a comfy pair of pants. That's it. I'm so predictable 😅
This Barbie had a major breakdown and almost cut herself after eight years of not doing it. Just, like, the pain is unbearable and that’s literally the only thing that takes a way the pain (or at least, gives me control of the pain) and just... my husband took away my knife and I told him I’d be mad at him til he gives it back and he told me if he sees any marks on my body anywhere he’ll have me admitted to West Hill (fucking “behavioral health hospital AKA insane asylum) so we’re in a standoff.
Oh, also, Peanut told me she wants me to die after she accidentally knocked over her mandarin oranges at dinner. Which is what prompted the forty minute breakdown.
the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.
capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.
now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.
and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.
and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.
and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".
it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"
My buddies and I were talking about Barb getting Floyd to sing raunchy Nine Inch Nails songs and I had to make it happen </3
They're JUST lyrics BUT I wanted to be safe anyway so I censored them eee sorry guys cant be too careful on tumblr
The songs in order are Closer, Big Man with a Gun, and The Collector!
(sorry for deleting and posting this again 🙇♂️🙇♂️ one tiny insignificant thing was bothering me and when I edited it it wouldn't show on reblogs and that kinda made me go 😠😠😠)
