I'm really not a villain enjoyer. I love anti-heroes and anti-villains. But I can't see fictional evil separate from real evil. As in not that enjoying dark fiction means you condone it, but that all fiction holds up some kind of mirror to the world as it is. Killing innocent people doesn't make you an iconic lesbian girlboss it just makes you part of the mundane and stultifying black rot of the universe.
"But characters struggling with honour and goodness and the egoism of being good are so boring." Cool well some of us actually struggle with that stuff on the daily because being a good person is complicated and harder than being an edgelord.
Sure you can use fiction to explore the darkness of human nature and learn empathy, but the world doesn't actually suffer from a deficit of empathy for powerful and privileged people who do heinous stuff. You could literally kill a thousand babies in broad daylight and they'll find a way to blame your childhood trauma for it as long as you're white, cisgender, abled and attractive, and you'll be their poor little meow meow by the end of the week. Don't act like you're advocating for Quasimodo when you're just making Elon Musk hot, smart and gay.

Love autism. Wish I wasn't included in it but.
#cant we get to the part where they figure out how to upload people's consciousnesses into the internet#I fucking hate it here#I hate that Im weird and offputting and difficult to understand even when I try so so hard to mask and be seen as normal#but then im stuck where nobody likes me either because of being offputting or they do but they like me in the way#somebody likes a fucked up dog. like im not a person#I hate when somehow I have a normal conversation where Im masking really well and theyre treating like an actual person#and my mood and mental state notably improves#thats not something I can stop being. im gonna be autistic until I die or I can learn to get better at acting#am i just stuck being everybody's dog until i die#cool. awesome.#and there are spaces! for folks!#and ive been invited to those spaces in the past!#but I had to get fucking. shitty verbality and social anxiety autism instead of loud quirky fandom autism#i dont blame people at all for being uncomfortable with my anxiety and not wanting to have to make an effort to invite me *every* time#i get how much of a drag that is I just!!#i wish i could exist without being a drag. or being offputting#in this stupid fucking society where everything relies so much on communication and Getting it and being appealing#what happens to the weird kids who were supposed to kill themselves in highschool 👍 what place to we have#what the fuck is a job interview. unusual and cruel.#i was made to do the tedious busywork nobody supposedly wants to do#'if no one had to work no one would' wrong. i would sort and clean things all day if I could be guaranteed food and shelter#fucking... minimum wage. we should eat government officials I think.#cw swearing#sorry#mmmmhmmmgmgmgmgmmgmgngnfnfnngngngnngngngngngngnngngngnhngnmgngmgngngngnngng#best i can do at textually reproducing the image of dragging my hands down my face#hell world!#hell world#vent#status noir

reading things about particularly young and online queer people/leftists without much experience with bigotry is a huge trip as someone who grew up completely surrounded by centrism

you know i oscillate between appreciating and resenting this fact about me (which is VERY maretypical tbh) b/c of how complicated it makes things but in this moment i must step back from my emotions and say. holy SHIT i am so glad i do not possess a drop of impulsivity in me holy fucking shit oh my God.

Me, an American, researching the fall of the Roman Republic and noticing some... parallels:
Tumblr media
Image description: a gif from what looks like a 90s anime film, showing a woman leaning in to look at a computer and seeing that it is glitching and repeating itself. She looks at it wide-eyed in concern and fascination.
#original#american politics#rome#roman empire#really Rome fell multiple times in a way. I feel like the Roman Republic dissolving and becoming an Empire is a kind of fall.#listen. i want the state to dissolve as much as the next guy but we have got to get on this community organizing and defense business ASAP#because when empires fall it often ends most poorly for the folks who are already the most in need of help#and that is the extent of my modern knowledge. my ancient-world knowledge tells me now is a good time to invest in#horse-mounted combat.#so i guess i should learn more about the gun debate as it pertains to Black liberation bc i only ever hear the white side of the gun debate#and I'm not saying that Erik Killmonger was RIGHT i am just saying that he was actually probably right and there is a reason that the film#had him strangle an old woman and burn the sacred flower grove after becoming King of Wakanda and the reason is that otherwise he is#just the hero of the film.#and we can't have a marvel film that isn't painfully centrist and we can't have a marvel film that changes the social landscape of the#shared universe#anyway i do still think mounted combat sounds rad as hell but it is possibly outdated lol#also i heard this great limestone recipe for building GREAT BIG DOMES#which seemed important to Rome. their domes outlasted their shitty government anyway.#if anyone shows up claiming to be the next Caesar kill him immediately. but watch out. he has a nephew who will HUNT YOU DOWN LIKE DOGS#that was an octavian caesar joke. he was julius Caesar's great nephew and (posthumously) adopted son#and also the single scariest bitch in roman history. if this was Heathers he'd be the red one. and also Veronica would die halfway thru#because you DO NOT WANT TO FUCK WITH OCTAVIUS CAESAR

it’s so funny that certain people are taking “taylor says she sees everything!!!” to mean that she’s watched every interview anyone she’s ever associated with her has done, and not like. a cutesy way of her saying that she looks at what her fans post about her online sometimes

#crow.txt#blazblueposting#IDK ITS SO FUNNY. HOW ARE U GONNA BE A DEATH GODDESS WITH NO BONES?#also her wiki page is so funny. 'likes: the world' why the FUCK do you wanna kill everyone then girl?#also very amused by how like.. she and relius are on good terms quote unquote but will not hesitate to backstab each other#and she outright hates terumi which i mean nobody on the cast DOESNT i think. except celica but she genuinely doesnt hate ANYONE#love thinking about the blazblue antags as like... the world's most toxic shitty coworkers who will fuck each other over without hesitation#for a corn chip. for a single platinum dollar. for the fun of it really. like even the few who seemingly get along or agree?#the moment something divisive comes up that makes them choose between their individual goals and those of their associates?#fuck everyone else their shit is the Most important. nevermind the fact that they all more or less want to kill everyone or something close#but each of them think their way is the most special and superior so FUCK no they arent working with the other two on it are you CRAZY#the blazblue antags are genuinely the funniest group of antagonists on fucking earth love their dynamic.#ALSO FUNNY TO THINK ABOUT HOW ITS LIKE... 2 MORE OR LESS GODS AND THEN JUST SOME FUCKING GUY WHO KNOWS MAGIC AND IS LIKE 100 YEARS OLD.#JUST SOME WEIRD SENIOR CITIZEN WHO IS POWERFUL AND LIKES PUPPETS AND OPERA? relius is somehow the wildest bb antag#like yeah yeah terumi is god that got evicted from his own body or whatever. obsessed with whatever the fuck relius's whole concept is tho#like you look at him after learning all of these things abt him and go. yeah he looks like the kind of guy that would do all of that tbh.#familial double murder? check. fucked up mad scientist? check.#likes opera? i mean LOOK at that cape and the mask. of COURSE he does. quotes descartes? why fucking not at this point

The more people make essays on why you should like N no matter what the more I despise him, holy shit let people just not like things
#like holy shit#literally it's so annoying whenever we see shit like 'if you don't like him you're ableist' or whatever#no it's that i don't like him#and it's stupid that after a point it feels like we have to explain why just because people don't wanna accept it#so shit goes from 'i don't like him' to 'ok fine let me make you look like even more of a prick'#he's a creep in the manga: he gets way too touchy and weird with characters like black#he tells white in the manga his munna abandoned him because 'she doesn't have a use for your dreams anymore lol'#he follows around a little kid in the game and puts it on a little kid to save the world or let him get away with destroying lives#the ferris wheel scene. js he lied to get the player in the cart with him so he could be like 'btw-'#he's mad at professor juniper because she *checks notes* made the pokedex to better understand pokemon#he's mad at someone for making a tool to help people and pokemon learn about each other. he's mad at someone having knowledge#'but ghetsis-' yeah he's a prick and an a shitty person but literally everyone knows that and you can like shit while being critical#literally n's whole character arc is realizing he's his own person you can't blame everything on ghetsis#also explain anthea and concordia you don't see them being weird to kids or being assholes#'he's autistic-coded so-' using neurodivergency to avoid the consequences of your actions is the lowest hanging fruit you could grab#literally i have adhd (maybe autism too) and am pretty mentally stunted because of shit don't be that dude#also my bf is autistic like you gonna tell another autistic dude he can't like n because n's coded???#literally being autistic doesn't absolve you of shit that's a dick move to pull that card#also in masters all he does is make everyone feel like shit because all he does is complain about not having a dad#literally imagine just hanging out with your dad and then n ditching you because he doesn't have one#silver doesn't do that js#does he get better? yes but people are allowed to not like him or be uncomfortable with him#literally i don't care if he discovers atlantis#people also ignoring the fact that he literally was pretty ok with going along with separating people and pokemon until a kid said yo no#like he was ok with ripping lives apart even after spending time in the real world#in us/um ghetsis succeeded soooo#anyways that's my rant#because it's getting old with this shit#accept that people don't like n or i will put you in the middle of a haunted cornfield at 3 am#rosebud posting 💐

Went for a drive and ate one of the best meals of my life at my favorite restaurant, and then a beautiful song came on in the car as I was heading home and the trees are all red and orange and I just. I feel hopeful? For once?

Also intentional or not, I was doing some rereading and remembered that one of the things I like about early homestuck specifically is the way the introduction of more and more video game mechanics mimics the idea of growing up and feeling like you have more freedom/direct influence on the world around you
