#maybe a little parasocial

[sergle]

spill girl why they whining

Omg so. A lot of the recent HT launches have had pretty much the same colors repeated over and over, but Specifically the one that was released on saturday! Really just, as a majority, shades that are near exact dupes for polishes that have already been dropped very recently. And so fans of the brand are kind of taking a minute to complain abt the way that a collection will be hyped up, only to be completely identical to stuff already in the catalog. Me, complaining and talking about Colors are two of my favorite things, so I was gonna read all of it anyway, but I also totally agree. Also the last color story is kind of not a complimentary color palette, imo. Brown, aqua, neon pink/coral, yellowish taupe, and primary purple?

In particular, these two "new" shades are the ones making everyone lay on the ground dead, bc they are just. There's an ultra bright coral and an ultra bright aqua shade in like every release.

Brands obviously will make multiple polishes in a similar color family- especially once they have a large catalog. But HT has a ton of color families they haven't even touched yet, in favor of making mostly Purples, Blues, Aquas, and Corals. Ppl aren't loving these two either tbh:

The sorta Sandy color, I do think is different Enough, but the purple is very... tsk tsk... Because the brand also just dropped a purples-only release very recently. I think it's interesting to see! Because HT is a newer brand, only around for a few years- and, ultimately, an Influencer Brand. Since it's owned by one person, and the creator of this brand is designing the polishes herself, there's an element of just. Making a lot of polish in her personal fav colors! Which normally end up being very saturated, very cool toned, with a strong preference for purple.

#I didn't mention the brown/copper shade because I DO think it gets a pass #and nobody has really complained about that one #I think it's rather unique #But yeah there's a ton of fun stuff happening there #some people are really mad and like I enjoy reading that *TOO* #but also people are just complaining about repeat colors. which is not even a weird thing to complain abt at all #I think it's healthy for HT to have a lot of its fans Tamp Down a little bit bc #due to it being an influencer brand and a new brand with lots of Hype #people like it a lot and also maybe defend it to an aggressive degree #bc they aren't defending the brand- but rather the person who has created the brand. like parasocial vibes #idk bitch I just LOVE talking about nail polish #sergle answers #nailposting #I think it's good that this is shaking up ppl's Brand Loyalty. like. direct some hype toward another nail polish brand!

#i showed this picture to my little sister bc she’s in love with yung gravy and i wanted to impress her #but she didn’t care that i saw him live 😔 #i actually think i broke her out of her parasocial relationship so #maybe i did her a favor 😊

[hippy-pants]

number of days since i opened Pinterest and the first post i saw was an edited image of Neil Cicierega or a personal image reposted from his personal social media with the caption "OMG IS THAT NAIL CIGARETTE? 😍😍😍" and people in the comments calling him a fictional character: 1 0

#i guess maybe i just aged out of pinterest's demographic but like it's fully unusable i can't open it without this shit assaulting my senses #and i can't escape it because it's algorithm is so fucked #anyway kids can and will like lemon demon i guess but i wish they would dial back the weird parasocial shit like just a little #maybe i should just delete pinterest. that app has been so shitty for so long idk why i haven't deleted it yet #neil cicierega #lemon demon #pinterest #mine

So the problem is. That I don't want to call Ten-cubed "fourteen." I think Ncuti should be. Fourteen. He IS fourteen.

But if I want to talk about Ncuti's specific incarnation of this character. And make it clear that I am talking about him. I will have to call him "Fifteen." But doing that means that everyone involved in this ridiculous naming decision wins.

#maybe we call him 'gatwa!doctor' ?? #kind of like we do with the masters #(and we've done this with other doctors too like war and ruth so it's not like there's no precedent) #(then again this will change ALL the numbers going forward. like whoever's after gatwa will '''officially''' be sixteen & so on & so forth) #WHY DOES THE SAME ACTOR GET TWO NUMBERS. ONE OF THOSE WASN'T EVEN A FULL RUN. WTF RUSSELL #like I'm willing to say that maybe. MAYBE. there wasn't active malicious intent. but holy shit the optics are SO bad. #genuinely I am still mad about this and I will be forever #I promise I am not trying to make this one (1) writer man into my parasocial enemy there are plenty of other people I could do that with #who deserve it more. I just get...tired. #like really it's the fact that everyone interpreted the past 2 eras in the WORST faith possible and STRAIGHT-OUT MADE UP THINGS TO COMPLAIN #ABOUT THAT WERE NOT CANON. but there's SO little impulse to criticize ANYTHING regarding russel or dt's 70000 incarnations #which. that discrepancy/hypocrisy isn't COMPLETELY the show's fault. but that. unfortunately. doesn't make it any less annoying. #there was something else I was going to say but I deleted it for being a bit TOO salty #mel screams about The Weird Little Space Show again

how it feels to chew five stickmen.                           stimulate your senses

#avm #read this if you dare #this doesnt even come CLOSE to explaining everything goin on inside my head #but i guess i can note some stuff #firstly blue is such a little hater because he REALLY isnt cool with people who have hurt his friends #its like they get all older brother about it so thats why they still hate mango's guts #two a lot of the color gang consider red as a younger brother/just a sibling #and three the romantic relationships; purple might've sorta developed a crush on green but he doesnt know that #so he thinks of them as a friend and they dont wanna mess things up so to the friendzone they go #next endie and red have a thing for each other but endie is so dense about it and they dont see each other enough to go anywhere #so they stay friends for now but the others all know endie has a massive crush on red #and lastly vic has given mango the tittle of hot guy i wont shut up about except he doesnt know them so its a bit weird and parasocial #you know the drill #and all of these. arent fully canon in my mind it depends #im not one to genuinely believe in ships in canon unless stated otherwise by the media #maybe purple is the exception cus i see him doing that thing where someone your age shows you a pixel of kindness and you're head over heels #animation vs Minecraft #i actually reccomend doing this even if its not understandable too #its fun to think about #OH and green has a complicated relationship with mango because he isnt sure he's good for purple yet he has to prove himself #but he wont tell him that #on the other hand mango respects him as purple's friend #im not tagging all of these #avm ships #i guess

unfortunately i am not immune paying attention to youtuber controversies/slapfighting because i just found out about the whole qu*ntonreviews thing and frankly he's coming off pretty well in this situation but d@n ols0n. isn't

#like im sorry some of his friends apparently had a kinda awkward interaction with qr a few years ago #but i would've thought olson was smarter than to drag that into a totally unrelated situation about qr being harrassed lol #and then make a tweet response to a qr vid where dan tips his hand that he's not responding to the vid just to his own grudge #idk if im wrong and qr actually does suck in some way then im wrong and that's fair #but it really seems like dan is being. Fuckin Petty about a situation that does not call for it #and then deleting the tweet and vagueing instead to avoid having to apologise. at least for now #maybe this is parasocial of me or w/e but it's just a little bit disappointing. ah well #anyway i should start uni work #gray.txt

Sometimes i have an interest in something, and i think : "hmm... i dunno if i'm normal about it" and sometimes, rarely, but it happens i'm like : "i fucking wish i was normal about that, this is an obsession" and those times, it's always about a silly youtube shows with silly little guys

#puppet history #ghost files #sandersides last year i think ? #slg but like it's a french thing so maybe one person will relate ? #yeah #Excited to see who my next weird little guy will be #(I'm not i wish this would stop it feels like a parasocial relationship which fucking suck)

[tolerateit]

hey meg, i'd like some advice, if you could help. i know the mh stuff is ancient history now, and we're all excited for the album next week, but to be honest i haven't quite been able to move past that whole thing. i wasn't really able to listen to her songs at that time without feeling a little sick, and that feeling hasn't stopped even after so long. part of me is like, it's not that big of a deal, and it's in the past anyway, just get over it. it's not like she herself made those comments. the other part of me is getting more and more inclined to agree with some of the negative stuff i've heard about taylor over the years, because why would she so readily and publicly associate with a person like that? i want to be excited for speak now tv but tbh thinking about it just makes me feel sad.

aaah. sorry for bringing the negativity to your inbox 😅 if there's any advice you might have, i would truly appreciate it, but if not, thank you for reading anyway♥️

im certain you aren't the only one feeling this way right now bestie, and honestly it sucks because this experience would've been so fun and different if one thing had been different. if you can't get past it, you don't have to push yourself to do that! it is so valid to be upset and to express this frustration too, and it's especially worse because you know you've spent years cultivating this parasocial involvement but!!! if you completely want to disassociate from the fandom you do you! If you want to stay for the mutuals/the community, that's wonderful too (this is what I'm doing too but other alternatives are also very understandable choices). If you want to listen to her stuff but not with the involvement of like a level 100 swiftie - nothing can stop you from doing that! I'd imagine it's much better akskjsjsj, as for speak now tv, I haven't felt the hype for a while either and honestly I'm at a point where I won't make a big thing out of it here if i do play it at all when it comes out! My suggestion - take some time to focus on other things, see how you like the new adjustment and come back to the fandom if you miss it too much but with a removed investment in the artist, if that makes sense

#you ask for the tab* #tsou was my swiftie conversion song so idk if I'll play it this soon #But maybe someday I'll feel a little less abt everything and enjoy the music without thinking about my parasocial relationship with her

I care so little about celebrities at this point. If you still like some people then that’s great. I’m happy for you but its starting to feel like bread and circuses to me :/

#trist.txt #vent tw #a little bit #celeberty blank did this!! cool. #this one guy did this one thing!!! awesome #I just can’t bring myself to care anymore #and maybe it’s me realizing that I was deep in several parasocial relationships with a handful of celebrities #maybe it’s me having depression about the world #I just feel like they’re so… inconsequential. yknow? #none of this is in a IM BETTER THAN YOU way. or I’m not trying to be like that at least

googling how to deal with a parasocial relationship with a city

#personal #travelblogging #honestly i genuinely think i’ve fallen in love with new orleans over the course of this trip #like i have no frame of reference. maybe what i’m attracted to is humanity in general #but all the little niches you can find in the city — pirate alley with all the local artists selling original works and prints #artists doing plein air paintings #cute little specialty shops where the owner is genuinely so passionate about what they’re doing #(too many to list! stationery; playing cards; /several/ vampire cafés and stores; etc) #the live jazz #there is such an artist culture here and again i’m not sure if you find a similar thing in any big city or if it’s just here #but genuinely i love this environment! #i’ve bought so many indie post cards and zines #i could keep talking but it’d get pretty cringy. but again i think the best way to describe this is a parasocial relationship #…also i think i got robbed lol.

in my Robert Pattinson enjoyer era

#not in a weird way just in a general parasocial affection he's blorbo from my acting industry just some guy i like seeing in things #kind of way #if that makes sense #just a guy whose acting i appreciate and i think he's a cool little dude #Lu rambles #lu watches tenet #also he has a pretty nice face #maybe the batman 2022 got to me. maybe i just think rpats is a funky little dude who i like to see on my screens. mayhaps.
