I know we’re like shitposting about the apparent and imminent demise of Twitter but I can’t help but feel like a library is on fire. So much fandom history is potentially going to be lost. I know screen shots and all that are forever and there are tumblr master posts but there’s also something about physically going to Louis’ account and seeing AIMH right there. Or Liam’s snake habitat tweet. Or Niall’s last night was a great night but no one talk to me tweet. All of baby Larry’s lovesick nonsense. IDK man. It’s fucking depressing.

Okay...okay...so...sososo...you know how Twitter finally made good on revoking all the verified accounts from people who weren't paying the $8/mo asshole tax?
NO!
NO, THEY DIDN'T!
There's no way to automatically remove the verified flag on all the accounts, they would have to have gone account-by-account to remove them individually.
So instead...THEY JUST HID THE CHECKMARK ICON!!
You can still see if an account is legacy verified by putting in the search filter:
filter:verified from:@namehere
Anyone with a legitimate verified account you search for will show up. Anyone with a this-mfer-paid-for-Twitter account won't.

I want to leave twitter so much it's unreal but then I remember that despite everything it's still one of the few websites where people actually support artists by sharing and purchasing our art.
Looking at you, tumblr.

WELL, just letting you guys know that my Twitter account got suspended for no fucking reason whatsoever - the email i received says I was suspended for "violating our rules against evading suspension" which literally????? clarifyies 0 things about why this has happened. I'm trying to appeal to bring it back, cause I'm pretty sure this is all some stupid bug mistake, so let's see how it goes. Wish me luck!

Light Pollution
I don't recognize the stars anymore.
Terrestrial life is one of changes
It rises, it falls, it expands, it shrinks
And while the stars are not immutable
Their span is on a much longer scale
These lights above me are not the ones
So constant and familiar
That my two and four-legged ancestors both
Could navigate their way back home by them
These lights are not the twinkling diamonds
Born from the exhale of a warm sigh
That captured the minds and hearts
Of scientists and artisans for centuries
Their sparkle is cold, lifeless metal
And impersonal binary.
Yet these are not the capsules of my grandparents
Crafted with hope and fear and passion
In a time when that vast black above
Was not prime real estate to be simply colonized
But a terrifying unknown to be respected
As well as a new frontier to explore
These are cheap trinkets, baubles
Manufactured en masse then left to rot
A passing whim of a creator
Who thinks himself a god of men
But who has already grown bored
Of his own toys like a child
They form a dirty choker around a blue wife's neck
She has always been faithful to him
Even while their heirs slowly poison her
While he looks longingly at the mistress
Dressed in her tempting shade of blood
Waiting down a long and dangerous cosmic hallway
A new star attempts to rise and join its siblings
Forced upwards by man's sheer will
It rumbles, it roars, it streaks across the sky
Searing red as something goes wrong
The chemical smell of fuel instead of wormwood.
Two hundred, five hundred
A thousand years ago
This would have been regarded as an omen
A sign of the coming end of days.
But the true prophets have been blinded
Their clear skies clouded by these false stars
Placed by a false prophet, a man playing god
A father of lies and broken promises of innovation
And so no one listens and heeds the warnings
Until his stars come falling down
A hundred thousand heralds burning bright
Like the stars they pretended to be
Revelations that are realized
One minute too late
…I don't recognize the stars anymore.

There's like... 5 layers of irony in the existence of Genlock season 2. The theme of the Ship of Theseus being prominent in season 1, and later season 2 being transfered to a different company, with writers, artists, and overall staff being replaced entirely to the point where it's not the same show anymore. The hamfisted anti-capitalist ideology that wasn't present in the first season (or at least not in the way s2 presents it), and the fact that season two is what it is because of greedy capitalistic practices. The fact that a plot point was greed and wanting results as quick as possible (also leading to the plot being rushed), and the fact that season 2 was quickly rushed out with only about a week of marketing out of nowhere.
Just... So many things. They may have had an RT supervisor, but a lot of good THAT did.

(( ok, so i’ve come across posts from people questioning why gojo is so weird when he fights jogo. like, why is he so horny about the volcano man? great, awesome question. here’s my unsolicited take on it.
warning: possible jjk s2e9 spoilers! ))
consider this: fighting is the only moment where gojo is allowed to be 100% his unhinged self, but it's rare that anything or anyone is actually able to hold up against his powers without getting immediately obliterated.
it’s akin to giving a golden retriever a toy that ends up getting destroyed bc pupper played with it a bit too vigorously. when there's no toy left, it means playtime is over. for gojo that leaves him with an overall feeling of unsatisfaction. gojo is that sad pupper who doesn't get enough endorphins released bc no 'toy' can handle him.
so, the fact that jogo can take gojo being somewhat rough towards him is enough to trigger a release of dopamin in gojo, hence the impression of arousal. (i mean.. come on, look at this. the touching, the playfulness? it's just too sensual to mean anything else. also, just to be in the clear, i'm not shipping them, lol).
tbh, i'm just trying to point out that with the immense powers this man bears, it's only natural that he is in a constant state of feeling understimulated.
tying this in with gojo's awful personality, like.. him being annoying af is probably the maximum amount of ‘normalness’ this man can muster without going insane from absolute boredom.
in reality gojo might be holding back bc he knows normal people wouldn’t be able to handle him if he were to fully unleash himself upon them. it might not seem like it, but he’s actually treating every non-enemy with as much care as he possibly can.
conclusion here is that gojo's entire personality revolves around the fact that he's finding himself constantly understimulated. in general, he's just so unimpressed that for him to even get genuinely stirred up, there needs to to be some perversion involved in the act. it just makes sense for me, okay?
so, can you blame gojo for feeling actually excited while fighting mr. volcano head? not really. but is he a freak? definitely. but honestly, shouldn't we just let this man truly enjoy himself for once. just look at how happy he is.

I'm so angry all the time because the world is so bad but I feel like there is nothing I can do about it
You grow up with all the adults say they are sorry we have to inherit their mess, and how it's up to the next generation to fix this, and the world is on your shoulders
And it looks like they aren't doing anything but shoving their problems on the young and all they have given us is a hopeless situation and anxiety with no idea or skills on how we are supposed to fix things because our schools are designed to make factory workers not thinkers and fixers
And you wonder if they really want things to get better or if they want us to shut up and make the rich richer as we die off
