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!"

#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility #but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion #that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone #i am an environmental educator #so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering #that people are going through #without doing my research and providing real ways to help #this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning #to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering #unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this #and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this #and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity #(complaining) #and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself #for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion #i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out #rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually. #my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free #is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY. #anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i #which is more than their CEOs can say

i’m loving this near universal outpouring of love and praise for starkid here on tumblr. i feel like when black friday came out it was a bit polarising and not everyone loved it, so the hype died down quite quickly, and then because of covid it’s been 4 years since they dropped a musical on yt, but i’m so glad that everyone even beyond the staunch hatchetfield fans are loving and appreciating npmd. makes me so happy that this slightly niche theatre company will always have a cult following on here

#starkid #npmd #nerdy prudes must die #idk man like sk has got me through the last 5 years and just seeing a wider array of people be hyped and appreciate their new show #is so fuckin great #seeing my faves get the flowers they deserve #mansi says stuff #also everyone in the npmd tag should watch nightmare time on youtube just saying #hatchetfield

i really hate when people treat mabel as The Dumb Twin compared to dipper. the creators have literally said MULTIPLE TIMES that dipper and mabel are of equal intelligence!!! yes she acts silly but she's also 12 years old!!!! the only reason dipper seems "more mature" is bc he has unfathomable levels of anxiety and overthinks everything!!!! and even then he makes some really stupid choices. he's not inherently more rational or smarter he's as much of a little kid as mabel is AGGHHGHH part of me feels like it's also at least partly bc dipper is more of a stem guy while mabel's more artsy and creative. and guess which one of those fields is considered more valuable!

#sorry i was showing my sibling gf and they kept commenting on how dumb mabel was #they even sided with dipper during the summerween episode. can you imagine. #it just really made me want to snap at them #i decided not to do that but the thought is still plaguing me so might as well share it with the internet #bet that when they watch tale of two stans theyre gonna side with ford like a fuckin chump /lhj #ferret rambles #gravity falls #gf #mabel pines #dipper pines #mystery twins

i think the structural nature of doctor who makes it so i cannot relate to people who are consistently obsessed with it nor can i relate to people who are exclusively casual fans the entire time. Doctor Who is one of the ultimate pieces of media that's like BUILT for having it consume your every thought for like two years and then you forget about it for a decade. And then it comes back around. But that might just be the perspective of someone who like comic book characters lol

#doctor who #idk man there was SEVERAL years where i was like. damn i don't really get why i was SO into doccy whomst #like i had been watching it i've watched almost all of new who #(except the last of jodie's run I've only seen through the flux specials whoops) #but i wasn't like. Invested. it wasn't making an impact. #but then i fuckin watch go season 1 #and i was like oh fuck i really like david tennant that's right #and then i rewatched donna's (aka the best) season #and i was like OH RIGHT. I LOVE DOCTOR WHO BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT FUCKIN BAAAANNGGGSSS #and now we're here. congrats to both 2019 and 2008 me <3

While of course "yo Mr. White I just bought my first binder. bitchhhh"posting is "inaccurate" to the content of Breaking Bad (I put "inaccurate" in quotes because it's obviously inaccurate, it's intentionally inaccurate, the disconnect between the content of "I need a penny for the souvenir penny presser yo" posts and the show is literally the joke), I don't find "Tumblrinas when Walt and Jesse KILL PEOPLE instead of BEING TRANS (CRINGE, NO MEDIA LITERACY)" posts to be really accurate representations of the fine nuances of the show either (and they're usually posted without the same level of self-awareness)

#sorry i keep posting abt this fuckin guy. i will not stop soon #it's bc i'm watching it w my family and so we talk abt it all the time that inflates my interest far beyond when it's just me #also i might tack on a bigger more analytical reblog. not rn tho i'm eepy #open mick night #breaking bad #jesse pinkman

Just saw a post that said Scott and Stiles are not in love with each other. WRONG. they are so transcendentally in love with each other that they don't know they're in love and have instead resorted to saying shit like "I want to be the same person as you. We need to merge" and thinking it is normal. They are the epitome of weird, fucked up, closeted even to yourself, codependent queer friendship, guy edition. This is not projection

#lee rambles on and on #tw #teen wolf #sciles #in all honesty i have read all the st--erek fic out there and i've still never seen the appeal #sciles tho??? idk maybe im watching a different show than everyone else but it's the fuckin. core of the show to me #again. for reasons that could never ever have anything to do with projecting my personal experiences at time of watching onto the show :P

Mutant Mayhem spoilers

It’s such a small moment and maybe I just have brain rot or something but in the beginning when Splinter is talking abt why he hates humans it’s Mikey specifically that chimes in with that little “you don’t know that.” And just UGH

Even just by his tone you can tell that he knows his words aren’t going to change anything because they’ve had this conversation too many times. But also Mikey was the one Splinter almost lost that day, like if Splinter was any slower Mikey would’ve been gone.

And you just know in the minds of children Mikey equated their isolation from humans as being his fault because he almost got ran over as a baby.

Like I don’t wanna say it because sometimes leads to unnecessary angst, but children who grow up isolated from everyone else believing that they can’t confide in their parent often blame themselves for their parents decisions.

Donnie and Raph back talk and make fun of Splinter the most but Mikey does it like once and Leo does it never. So you can tell Leo and Mikey don’t get upset with their father, they get upset with themselves for the way things are and I just

#mutant mayhem #tmnt mutant mayhem #tmnt #tmnt mm #mm mikey #mm splinter #LIKE THEY INTERALIZE IT SO MUCH #It makes every scene with Mikey longing for the human word hit harder bc what if he’s like ‘this is my fault’ #i noticef Donnie rags on splinter the most like Donnie talks back and calls Splinter a shut in and all that #Raph is second because he actually gets angry at Splinter but when he does he just shuts down and isolates himself #Mikey makes fun of Splinter once with the cheese butt joke but that’s literally it like he never rags on Splinter even when the others do it #and Leo just never does it he has that oldest daughter syndrome where he’s like ‘they sacrificed so much for me I have to be good’ and just- #fuckin ouch man #EVEN WHEN SPLINTER KS APOLOGIZING RAPH JUST LOOKS AWAY LILE #LIKE RAPH CANT EVEN LOOK AT HIS DAD BEING EMOTINALLY HONST BC HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT #Hc whenever Raph got angry Splinter just out him in timeout so now Raph isolates when he’s angry with his family #mutant mayhem spoilers #in case now one has watched the movie yet
