#i'm talking about roads

[narcissistcookbook]

boys i'm starting to think building a society where the primary imperative of business is to make as big a profit as possible might have been a bad idea

lads stop me if i'm wrong, but was it a mistake to make money so central to our society that rich people become functionally omnipotent?

gents i can't believe i'm saying this but am i wrong for not trusting the private sector to have my best interests at heart??

i am begging one single person in this entire show to consider, for perhaps one single second, THE POSSIBILITY THAT THERE IS A REASON HOUSE HATES HIS DAD THIS MUCH

#everyone is so dreadfully shocked and confused by him not wanting to go to his own father's funeral #but not no one makes any real effort to find out why #and that's not to say house would actually talk about it #(though tbh he might if someone asked in a genuinely nonjudgmental way. and he does tell wilson a couple of things.) #but either way it just feels like everyone is assuming #that house is just being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole #and it has occurred to no one that house's late father could possibly be at fault for his son not wanting to attend his funeral #i just. it would be nice if someone would consider the notion #that a person not wanting to be at their parent's funeral might have a valid reason for that #(like abuse. or something) #anyway this was a good episode #i'm always up for for daddy issues and hilson road trips #(i am considerably less up for forcing abuse survivors to honor their dead abusers) #house md #house season 5 #house 5x4 #op #john house

One of the most annoying things about being a European into feederism is the unit hell. Thanks to the dominance of Americans in the space pounds and inches have sort of become the main unit for gainers (in the english speaking parts of the scene). However, I literally only ever use pounds when it comes to the weight of a fat person. Literally that's it. I couldn't possibly tell you what a pound of flour looks like, they're just the magic hot lady unit XD

#I actually use kilos when referring to skinny people pounds is exclusively for when I'm talking about gainers XD #I'm british so we have our own domestic unit soup but the only imperial measurements I actually use much outside of kink are pints and mile #pints are just a really good size for a drink tbh #we have different pints to the US tho and ours are cooler because they're bigger >:3 #and miles because our roads use them #I use metric for everything else ngl #Also fuck stone omg imagine being a worse and stupider version of pounds

what i love about the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi of it all is that...it's not just that he's famous and therefore widely recognizable wherever he goes. like yes that is very funny because he was an exorcist before he became a famous actor, which means he CHOSE, on purpose, a day job that would make it harder to hide his double life/secret identity from the hordes of his adoring public, but it's more than that. it's not just that he's famous, it's that he's famous specifically for being an ACTOR, aka a person whose job it is to dissimulate, to make believe, to inhabit roles and emotions other than his own. like he decided he was going to become as visible as possible (which again was literally not necessary! he could have gone into any other career for his day job!!) but in such a way that everyone would see him but no one would see him - they would just see his various made-up personas, including the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi persona. i can't decide if he's a genius or if he just made so many absurd decisions that they canceled each other out and circled back around to working out. he's either playing 9-dimensional chess or he's eating the pieces. too soon to say.

#the other thing i love about it is that in a very real sense it's his actor day job that is his alter ego #being an exorcist is his normie job. he's just a famous celebrity on the side #which isn't that uncommon in secret identity setups but it's still very funny #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #natori shuuichi #natsuyuu meta #my posts #f #i think probably the actual answer is that acting was a very natural career choice because he already masks so extensively #both to hide that he can see things other people can't (and that youkai exist and that he exorcises them) #and to hide what he's really feeling so that no one can use it against him #so if it's already something he has to do & he's good at it...why not have someone tell him exactly how to do it & get paid for it? #and the other part of the answer is that most ppl don't go into acting assuming they'll get famous. the fame was a side effect #so each decision as it was being made probably made perfect sense. but put them all together #and you have this hilarious assortment of elements that seem to directly contradict each other #okay also i would be remiss if i didn't mention the other possible answer which is that the attention came first and was unavoidable #and the acting developed from the need to protect himself from the attention that he was going to be attracting no matter what he did #because he's so beautiful. and (in the exorcist world specifically) because he's the last of the natori #the more i talk about it the more i'm like no becoming a famous actor was the only path that made any sense for him lol #1) he's gonna be watched no matter what bc he's him -> gotta figure out how to hide his secrets -> learn to act as self-defense #or 2) he's got secrets -> he's gotten a lot of practice hiding them -> hey you could make a career out of this! #all roads lead to actor natori shuuichi. and since he's beautiful...all roads lead to FAMOUS actor natori shuuichi #i love it when i ramble so much in the tags that i end up contradicting my own post lol #he's neither thinking ten steps ahead nor is he irrational. he's simply making sensible individual decisions #that follow logically from what is available to him and what his priorities are

Why does this keep happening to me

Like, not to harp on this, but just because you don't see the "value" in a piece of art or don't think it's "technically beautiful enough" to be acclaimed or don't want to interact with it because the function it's serving isn't something you're interested in doesn't mean that it just. Doesn't deserve to exist.

#by these standards we'd have to bar most amateur art. and that is NOT a road I want to go down. like imagine trying to #rob someone of participating in one of the richest and most fulfilling human experiences because of YOUR standards. #'oh I'm not talking about amateur art I'm talking about stuff that gets popular/famous' as if amateur artists don't get #discovered or go viral or get a random cultural wave of popularity all the time #there is no amount of gatekeeping that will keep art you think is 'talentless' or 'effortless' from seeping into the professional world #so maybe like. we should all chill out a little bit. #okay. I'm done now. #the good news is that this reminded me that any art I do is for myself and it doesn't have to be Technically Perfect #so thank you to the modern art haters I guess

in regards to the advancement on this site where americans are being like "i love when foreigners make jokes about us :) like yeah i sure do love hamburgers!" have we all noticed how fucked american drivers are

#poast #american Attitudes towards driving are one thing but i'm talking specifically about driving skill #i dont think i know a single american who drives and who hasnt been in at least a semi serious road accident

#his lips and the way his teeth are showing here are so beautiful i'm gonna be sick #can you imagine if he had a tooth gap..... dear god #the shape of his cupid's bow is ridiculous #i wanna lick his teeth so bad it's not fair #and yes i just watched crash again i've been found out #keep thinking about that one shot towards the end where he's backing vaughn's car up to go check on catherine after she drove off the road #and as he's looking behind him he kind of draws the corner of his mouth back and you get a real clear view of his cuspids #why didn't i get a screenshot of that #anyway god i lose my everloving mind when he does that #i would let him pierce a hole through my tongue with his teeth honest to god #anyway that's enough tooth talk nighty night

do you ever think about the parallels between Baldr&Hoder and Lauriam&Strelitzia? do you ever think about a young Xehanort knowing, somewhere deep within his heart, that the khux characters are his friends, even if that doesn't make sense, and finding Brain in his friendship with Eraqus, and maybe finding Lauriam in his friendship with Baldr? do you ever think about how both of those friendships ended?

#kingdom hearts #khux #khdr #xehanort #kingdom hearts dark road #kingdom hearts union x #it's missing khux and khdr hours here..... #the parallels between those two games are CRAAAZY #i could talk way more about the sibling parallels but #rn i'm thinking about young xehanort for some reason.
