writing some of the posts that i had on my other account lol. (@stiffyck @cryptic-bee hope you don’t mind the tag, but you two seemed to like this one lol)

after grian talks about his watcher trauma to scar, he says he doesn’t really want comfort, and so scar, a genius, goes:
“i’m sorry that happened. i’m sure you couldn’t have seen it coming.”
and grian calls him an idiot, but scar can see the small smile that he attempted to hide.
the thought of making grian smile, even after talking about his incredibly horrible experiences with omnipotent beings was enough for him.
and unbeknownst to scar, the way the joke was so out of pocket made grian feel like he was… normal, for lack of a better word. scar made him feel like he was normal, even tho they both were far from it. still, still, it was enough for him. scar was enough for him.
maybe one day grian would be able to tell him.

on the flip side, scar starts talking about his his backstory (tcd), and grian trying to do what scar did, goes.
“wow- uh- i bet you wouldn’t be found dropped dead near one of those then, huh?”
but it goes very very wrong because scar starts actually crying and grian’s like fuck man, that did not work sjsodhskdh.
he apologizes, but doesn’t stop scar from crying his heart out because grian knows that it’s the first real cry he’s let out in a long time. if he held on tightly to his hand as if it would disappear at any moment, grian wouldn’t mention it. no, instead he would reciprocate that touch.
and for the first time in a long time, scar would feel warm.
for those who didnt know my previous accounts, or even those who do, in 2020 I was also SUUUPER harassed for a fnaf fanart where my humanized bonnie and mangle LOOKED AT EACH OTHER.
I'M TELLING YOU, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BACK THEN. NOW I CAN LAUGH BUT BOY DID I SUFFER.
so I may redraw that fanart for the good old times, here's to me being the black sheep of every fandom for no reason😭 lmaooo
OKY ACTUALLY. just for future reference, I'm gunna start using the "#reposters" tag sometimes!! I see ppl taking credit from or not giving credit to artists in main tsams tags enough to be a leetol annoyed and I want ppl to be able to see the post and thus block the OP!!
I'm making it a tag to also blacklist though, so I'm gunna give y'all a sec to let this post sit and marinate or whatevs, n then I'm gunna be telling someone to quit their BS shortly after LMAO
I will never fucking understand blogs that just post shit from one series or one character or one actor even. Not even reblog, just shamelessly post unsourced shit. Sometimes it's not even related it's just some horseshit like "beautiful celebrities" and they'll take a day to spam stolen photos of one actress before moving on to the next one. Like motherfucker what is the point?
On the most obvious surface level you're not contributing jackshit. You're just regurgitating shit that someone else has already put out there. But then even on the purely braindead selfish level you aren't even effectively creating some personally curated gallery for yourself because your garbage blog can just as easily be replicated with a google image search. It's just a waste of space. Both digital storage and visual real estate. Just more garbage for real people to have to scroll through to get to things they actually want.
I normally reserve the "you're a human being who fails the turing test" insult for things like porn bloggers who only break character to post conservative rants in comment sections, who'd otherwise be entirely indistinguishable from porn bots, but there are completely nonsexually motivated people who do this shit too. Most prominently the kinds of losers who dedicate their entire free time and personality to mediocre pop singers.
Is it OCD? Is it a compulsion? Like you actually can't help but do this shit? Because that at least id almost have some sympathy for, but then I'd also expect a compulsive chronicler to want their shit better sourced and cited, not just tag bombed.
I know we're far past the days of crashing Usenet servers with the kind of primitive pseudo-ddos attacks that gave spam it's name, but it's just insane to me that as the internet has become MORE stringently policed and moderated, spam hasnt just not gone away, and hasn't just scaled with the internet as a whole, it's become The standard model of """content""" distribution/circulation. We don't navigate to an from points of content origin, we just swim through a dense sea of recent reblogs and reposts of shit that's already been out there in a hundred other iterations.
I don't have some kind of a proposed solution, but I just cannot fucking stand this bastardized horseshit version of the internet we've trapped ourselves in...
And I know we love to blame AI art for it right now, and obviously it is contributing to the insane acceleration of the problem, but well before AI art got involved we were already fast approaching the internet being completely unusable.
