this can't just be me but do you ever hear a YouTubers voice and immediately click off because you just can't stand how they sound and don't know why. even if the content itself is fine

was at a party a couple days ago and i had cause to open up my bag o'holding (small bag inside of my regular bag where i keep all my shenanigans, band aids + whistle + sewing kit + fishing line + swiss army knife etc), and the girl next to me peered over, saw the contents and piped up "oh, so you're a wizard"

My one contribution to the Goncharov Phenomena is, I’ve seen people comment on how Tumblr only managed to have a nuanced conversation about a piece of media when the piece of media doesn’t exist, but...
I can’t help but think. It just isn’t the same people.
The people who bother to make memes examining the complexity of Goncharov are the same people who enjoy examining the complexity of actual media, who have been here doing that forever, who already knew how to handle a subtle take.
It’s just that the people who would usually come crashing in and derail the whole thing aren’t saying anything, because, well, faking nuanced interpretation is fun for its own sake, but faking moral outrage isn’t.
I don’t think it’s so much that Tumblr finally learned how to handle a nuanced take, I think it’s more that the fakeness of Goncharov automatically filters out people who can’t ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the extremely casual in dialogue implication that Sec Unit just has drones UP IN PEOPLE'S FACES from System Collapse had me screaming and now I have to reread all the other books. How often does it describe someone's facial expression from a drone camera but now we know the drone is like, hovering RIGHT THERE 😳🛰️ lmaoooooo

Being aro or ace in a society that’s obsessed with romance and sex is so funny actually. Because everyone is constantly talking about how great these things are and we’re just like??? Huh???
