#the dangers of trending

Foolish: You'll never take me alive.

[Foolish jumps off the platform before Pepito can lasso him and lands in a pool of water. Pepito follows him shortly after, and Foolish laughs as he takes the elevator back up to the platform]

Foolish: Alright, this time: Waterbucket.

(They were both fine; Bad, Bagi, and Mike all came running to help them)

#Foolish Gamers #Foolish #Pepito #QSMP #I just cross-posted that Fit edit and saw Pepito trending with over 15k tweets and felt my heart drop into my gut #I thought he DIED #I've never opened up a tag faster in my life #lmaooo #anyways I just pulled up the VOD they're fine #World's most casual response to a potential Egg death LMAO #classic Foolish #TBH there was no danger around and there were a ton of people online so I get it #Man's living in a sitcom #EDIT: Tumblr PLEASE stop deleting my image descriptions

there is something deeply, unfathomably cruel about the fact that something called the clean girl trend is actually only accessible with perfect skin and hair and nails and bodytype. that if you simply use enough products and time and genetics you too will be able to be filter-flawless. it isn't just about being pretty, it's about being naturally pretty, with perfectly ethnocentric features that absolutely make a mockery of the poc they stole their techniques from.

something about this not just being a fashion trend but directly positioning any alternative as being "unclean" - if you use visible foundation to correct your skin in a desperate attempt to fit in, that's cringe. if you draw your eyeshadow and eyeliner in a way that feels personal and full of expression, i was told this looks "cheap" and "unfeminine." if you do not endlessly adhere to a nigh-impossible routine of beauty and sacrifice; you simply aren't one of those girls, girls that are better than you and deserve their good life. if you were not lucky enough to be born with this, no worries; it can be sold to you. it will be sold to you.

the women of color who made half of these things popular - hoop earrings, slicked back ponytails, oiled babyhairs - they do not get credit. they are not included in the trend. they are ostracized as being too different, too hispanic. because it's not clean when we do it.

no, if you're not perfect (and perfectly white), you're dirty. you're basically a slob. i actively like doing my makeup, and i've been told a lot - it's just a few basic products, it's really not that hard. nobody seems to get what i'm saying - we absolutely should not be linking makeup to hygiene. that linking cleanliness with rich white girls in yoga pants and glass waterbottles is incredibly bigoted.

she rolls her eyes. "okay, we get it. it's literally not that deep. you just hate makeup. i mean, it's fine. just say that you're ugly."

#i really do love makeup and i am really not bad at it and it is SO annoying that #any time im like #this trend is dangerous and bad #ppl are like #'''ughgfkjghj stoppppp trying to point out BIGOTRY''

I need us all to be more urgently concerned with the current state of journalism.

#the thing about irresponsible journalism is that it endangers people which is why this not so new trend is so troubling #there are actual material consequences that come with the way you frame a story and so much of it is a step beyond tone deaf #and actually dangerous #palestine #free palestine #free gaza #free congo #free yemen #free armenia #free sudan #free lebanon #free puerto rico #free haiti #free hawaii #free syria #fuck wsj #fuck nytimes #fuck nypost #fuck cnn #please. not every opinion piece needs to be published istg #journalism #western media #social justice #anti colonialism

season 7 Thirteen was peak because she was lowkey an asshole. In season 4 and 5 the show didn't really know what to do with the crazy depressing backstory they'd given her so for a while she was more or less Cameron 2.0 but with 10% more sarcasm 50% less heterosexuality and 120% more emotional avoidance but then someone in that writer room realized that this girl's life is so shit, even House has GOT to tone it down a little on the contempt. Bc on any given day she's the one most likely to be having the Worst Fucking Time out of all of them. Dead mom. Euthanized brother. Life expectancy of a Christopher Nolan movie if she's lucky. Girlie was fistfighting demons every morning just to get to work and you could finally see it in her incredibly jaded beautiful sad blue eyes.

#gonna follow the trend of blogging about House md like the show didn't air more than 15 years ago #thirteen #remy hadley #house md #having house look mildly concerned everytime she spoke was nice touch #also that one scene where she breaks into house's flat find him injecting himself w dangerous untested drugs calls him a moron & leave >>>>

9yo me : "The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive."

17yo me: "His little brother. Always his little brother"

will you finish Love Me Not?

yes, if you believe in me, and if I believe in myself. sorry that I am the way I am

#ask #anon #I was just scrolling thru my phone for a pic to put and k found these team rocket references I saved ages ago before the pairs special #bc I was hoping evil ladynoir would have a team rocket-esque dynamic and I was gonna make a comic about it #but I didn’t #one of the many fanworks plans I never followed thru on #much like poor love me not just sitting there rotting #sorry babe #I’ll come back for you #rn I’m working on secret santa gifts that are in grave danger of being late #do you see the trend 💔

marble nymphs and medieval ladies with their gallant knights and Boticelli’s virgin staring at you gentle and half-moon eyed and Goja’s Maja with her rosy cheeks and Liberty guiding the people, hope and anger and action all in one symbol, and women of each of Renoir’s impressionist paintings playful and alive, and Suzanne and Judith and Esther and Bathsheba and all of the women of artemisia gentileschi. imagine having all those pieces of art depicting  your face. The plumpness of the cheek painted with such painstakingly precision that now your face represents history. imagine carrying centuries of art in the roundness of the face and just decide to throw it all away just because the last fad says every single piece of softness has to be obliterated. fuck buccal fat removal.

#buccal fat removal #plastic surgery is already extremely dangerous and unnecessary as its #i hate this need trend particularly #because its so unnecessary #im tired of all celebrities having the same face #aesthetically i also think it looks very bad #give me roundness or death

a fellow english major, really happy to see someone who's proud of their degree <3

you know that "no love, no matter how brief, is wasted" line? i think the same applies for knowledge too - no matter how useless it may seem, knowledge acquired is never in vain.

#honestly like. idk what your age is but when i was attending uni i kept getting told that i shouldve gone for IT. because the future #- and the money - is there. #now look at the IT companies. the whole thing is crumbling #not to mention the arrogance. that IT degree didnt make you immune to the same old scam tactics did it. how are your nfts doing btw #honestly i never really expected it myself that a humanities degree would prove useful in a daily life type of way #like. sure i knew it wasnt useless but still. its entirely different to experience it in real time yknow #and the whole new wave ''it isnt that deep'' trend is honestly pretty dangerous bc there usually IS something deeper. #a narrative an agenda a propaganda etc.... or simply just capitalist greed #so its needed to read between the lines and see what the point/intention really is #- and thats what literary and other art analysis is making you do! it makes you stop and think #this is all not even mentioning all the political historical and cultural stuff we learned about all the anglo-saxon countries #which all prove to be pretty useful in light of recent events...... #so yeah. anyway. dont listen to all those who say its useless (and theres a lot of those even among the ones who chose this major too) #its clearly not. but even if it were it wouldnt matter ehat they think #(i do wish tho that i couldve attended it already on the right meds bc i feel like i forgot A Lot bc of my mental state at the time #but oh well. what can you do) #thank you for the ask it was really nice of you 💞💞💞 #ask #anon
