#is a novelty to me

[br1ghtestlight]

sometimes i forget the roudise jealousy/kiss plot in bob actually was like a Real thing that happened. like they kissed onscreen and everything. that feels like fanfic I always have a hard time remembering that they're canonically a semi-romantic pairing

#rewatching bob actually right now and anything w/ louise and rudy has me going like wooow #maybe bcuz in the osc ships are NEVER ever canon or even implied to be canon so the fact that romance as a concept exists in bobs burgers #is a novelty to me #wish they had more queer romance though!! but I get its hard when the main couple is in a m/f relationship and then the others are kids #they should give teddy a boyfriend just for fun. like they COULD #its allowed #txt #bob's burgers

everybody go home. this is my magnum opus

#HELP THIS IS KILLING ME #the original version of this had hua cheng in a ‘i have a CRAZY wife she hates STUPID PEOPLE and LOVES DOGS and im NOT AFRAID TO USE HER’ #but if hua cheng was at midwestern gas station number 472 in the novelty slogan tshirt aisle #she for sure would get some sort of ‘your wife (woman symbol) vs MY WIFE (wonder woman silhouette)’ #or ‘trophy 🏆🏆 WIFE’ #or possibly a ‘return to wife if lost’ #or ‘i have a SMOKIN HOT wife’ #or ‘im the BOSS til my WIFE gets home’ #or ‘5 things you should know about my WIFE: 1. she is my queen 2. she is a bit crazy 3. she can whoop your ass #4. she says whatever she is thinking 5. mess with her and theyll never find your body’ #or ‘i go to work so my wife can COLLECT SCRAPS’ #or even at worst. ‘ my wife is the PRINCESS the mouse LOST’ #xie lian would be initially embarassed. but you know her ass would be wearing a ‘proud PROPERTY of an AWESOME WIFE’ shirts @ heaven meetings #or ‘i’m not scared of ANYTHING - my WIFE is a CALAMITY’ #which was sold as a metaphor for your wife being mean and powerful. but she wears it straight. #or even ‘im not GAY but my WIFE is’ lmfao #anyway. #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #hualesbians #modern au #tgcf meme #my art #art #tgcf shitpost #lmao #mxtx

it would have been very beautiful. camilla would have had to cook (horrible bone soup)

#HELLO back at it again #tug introduced groundbreaking new findings about soul permeability but my mind bypassed all that in favour of this au #the division of labour is as follows: #dulcie reads the instructions; snacks; and changes the radio station every time she doesn’t like a song #if you complain she will remind you she's literally dying. life is too short and mediocre songs are too long #pal gets stuff from high shelves and battles his constantly fogged up glasses #he tried to help with prep once and promptly got himself banned from using knives for the rest of his life #cam does 98% of the actual cooking #trivia section - #you can tell i am new to this because i arranged them in the wrong speaking order. let’s all practice our right to left reading #cam has a silly novelty apron because a) the idea was unbearably funny to me and b) i need to spread the gospel (aroace cam) #the cookbooks next to dulcie are ‘a few teaspoons of salt’ (by ianthe tridentarius) #and ‘saintly feasts: food for saints and scholars’ which is a real book! though not written by cassiopeia the first #* #dulcie septimus #dulcinea septimus #camilla hect #palamedes sextus #the locked tomb #field sketches #<< i get to have an art tag now!

#the hunger games #finnick odair #thg #the hunger games fanart #this was a very very weird painting for me. #like i have painted decapitated heads and severed arms and shattered ribs and guts falling out and gallons of blood #and not once have i ever looked up from my work and been disgusted or disturbed by what i’ve painted #but the first day i was working on this one i looked at it and just felt so sick i had to get up and take a shower to get away from it #HE WAS 14 WTF WTF WTF WTF #that is a baby. that is a little kid. turned into a killer and paraded around like a novelty and used like a toy. #but on the whole i am very satisfied with this propaganda piece it's just as beautiful and unsettling as i wanted it to be #ugh my mind. nothing in the composition is overt but all the implications are there #not just the capitol's sexualization and brutalization of children but the fetishization of the districts' labor as well #as my good friend and mutual theworldiswhispering said. #'the hard labor you do is not safe from being romanticized by the people who benefit from it at your expense' #and i think about that every day #wherefore art thou #thg reread #why he so smooth.. just like a shark #[katniss voice] mfs took all my body hair cant have shit in the capitol #i just know tumblr's gonna crunch the quality of these images but i worked on a canvas 4 times larger than the usual size #so a lot of the detail gets lost when i post it. oh well. click for quality i guess #his expression changes when you're far away #far away he looks kind of vacant #close up he's smiling. like the photographer wanted a specific cocky emotion from him and it was there #but when you zoom out there's just a thousand yard stare #i did think about turning these into prints or actual posters but um. i don't think i should do that

reblog for a bigger sample size of former angry, creative, and/or highly dramatic children

#len asks #strangling tw #choking tw #drowning tw #<- ik followers and moots need those tagged but lmk if there's any more you want me to add #polls #personally i mostly hung my toys up. not in like a morbid way but i thought it was fun to swing them from trees #DEF threw them off structures in a morbid way. and melted their faces off in a morbid way. and gave them swirlies in a morbid way #i usually only did that to free mcdonalds toys and i don't think i ever did any of this to my expensive toys but i did like a bit of #violence here and there. it was an interesting outlet for sure. i basically always did it with a friend as well. bonding <3 #OH and we put out sparklers on an action figure once before tying blackcats to him and throwing him off a bridge. fun times! #oh and the freezer. i think that's it tho and i honestly only did most of these things once bc the novelty wore off #gonna periodically rb this for a bigger sample size. i will be HIGHLY disappointed in y'all if 'none' sweeps

oh sure when actors playing a character with DID or otherwise acting as multiple people in one body switch between alters on screen they're "such a talented actor" and you "get chills" but when I, actual diagnosed DID system, switch in front of you, it's "scary and unnerving" and you "no longer know how to talk to me".

#dissociative identity disorder #did #actually did #actuallydid #did osdd #osddid #cdd #this has nothing to do with anyone online btw #I'm just. so tired of people have treated me. #i am so envious of those who can treat DID like it's some cool novelty in media #or a way to flex their acting skills #while I am ridiculed and shunned by the people who I thought were my friends #this is not a callout post for anyone #this is a callout post for society in general #vent

do you ever look at other people's art and vibrate out of your skin from how much you love their work

#rye.txt #im feeling big emotions about art and expression today #part of me wants to emulate other artists because WOAHG PRETTY ART #but then the rest of me thinks that I don't feel this way about my own art purely because im the one making it. if that makes sense #like if I could completely disconnect myself from my own art and look at it with fresh eyes I might feel that way about myself #BUT ALAS my perception is poisoned by the necessity of seeing every flaw and detail in my own artwork and none of the novelty #of seeing it for the first time

I can't for the life of me remember but as a child we had these candies that were shaped like baby corn and was soft like jelly. Please 😔 do you know the name, or does someone out there know? Had it in Chengdu in like 1999

Be respectful when filming or taking pictures in public.

It's one thing if you're filming or taking a picture of a busy tourist attraction where it's unavoidable that some of the crowd is going to be in your picture or video. But it's another thing to intentionally take a picture or video with the intent of capturing someone doing something you find funny or embarrassing, without their consent, with the purpose of mocking them or having "funny" content.

First of all, most people are going to rightfully feel like it's a violation of their boundaries to be intentionally filmed or photographed without their consent. It's also just bullying behavior to take a picture or video of someone with the intention of mocking or ridiculing them.

Some people might think it's harmless if the other person never finds out they're being filmed or photographed, but it's still heavily disrespectful regardless of whether or not they find out. And you can't ever be certain it won't get back around to them.

And some people think "it's all in good fun" or "we're laughing with them, not at them" but if it's someone you barely know, or don't know at all, you can't know how it's actually going to make them feel.

#When I worked retail #I worked in a gift shop #that had big corny novelty decorations outside #so if you worked opening shift you had to drag them outside #and for some reason tourists thought it was hilarious to watch us drag out giant polar bears or wooden cut outs of vikings #so it happened all the time that tourists would take pictures or videos of us while cackling about it #me and a few of my co-workers would actually approach them and demand they delete it #one guy seemed confused about why I was mad #he thought I would see it as all in good fun #but he was a perfect stranger to me #so of course I didn't want him filming me #manners #good manners #politeness #courtesy #etiquette

Kinn has “my other ride is a Porsche” bumper stickers added to all of his personal vehicles and you can’t convince me otherwise

#kinnporsche #kp #except his porsches which have ‘ask me about my other Porsche’ bumper stickers #be has a novelty belt buckle that says ‘Porsche parking only’ but Porsche won’t let him wear it in public #the bodyguards who had to painstakingly apply all these bumper stickers don’t find this funny btw

Jean Madar, chairman and CEO of InterParfums Inc, recently told Bloomberg that fragrance is part of a person’s “core identity”. And while cosmetic companies can face criticism for conflating external products with existential outcomes [...] perfume conveniently sidesteps the problems of the flesh. It’s not trying to change how you look, but how you feel, and, for the span of a spritz at least, it does. In the age of wellness-as-beauty and neurocosmetics, the science of scent is marketing gold.

[...] I wonder if what we’re after here is not a sense of self but a (related) sense of life.

I say “we” because – despite my documented skepticism of beauty brands – I, too, am powerless against a good perfume ad.

Last month, casually depressed and subconsciously seeking comfort and some sort of release, I spent $240 on a scent called Tears by Régime de Fleurs. “What a luxury to weep,” the website read. It described the perfume as “emotion in liquid form, the romance and the sadness”. It promised “nostalgia” too, with notes of lilac to remind me of my grandmother’s front yard and frankincense to call up childhood Sundays spent in incense-blessed church pews. I suppose I wanted Tears to take me back to a time when someone who loved me baked me cookies every week, when I believed in God and goodness, and life stretched ahead of me in an endless expanse of hope and potential.

Of course, it didn’t do that. It smelled fine. I felt something, for a second. But I was still me, and I was still mostly numb.

I thought of that perfume the other day while reading the preface to Henry James’s 1902 novel The Wings of the Dove. James summarized it as the story “of a young person conscious of a great capacity for life” – someone “passionately desiring” to “achieve, however briefly and brokenly, the sense of having lived”.

Something clicked: how to explain Tears if not a brief and broken sense of having cried?

#as someone who is decidedly Not Immune to whatever the Big Fragrance is peddling - the article /did/ provide me with some food for thought #despite not being a particularly groundbreaking take on the industry and its marketing tactics. #but then again: what newsworthy (...essayworthy? substackworthy?) thing can even be said about it at this point? #sheer novelty (especially re: the choice of topic) is not the /only/ criterion by which popular cultural criticism should be judged #is what i'm saying (that and i did appreciate the wings of the dove mention).
