#things the sign lie about

My new Holy Trinity just dropped.

Started from the bottom, now we're here.

#the sign #the sign the series #the colors mean things #and the colors mean these two are already in love #just give in #the colors don't lie #I'm delighted about this #pink equals love

#politics #german stuff #inoffizielles-deutschland #german children are kinder #anyway i cannot stop thinking about this it is the funniest to me #the whole eagle finger 'here' thing too #the standing by his side smiling as he signs #everything about this is so beautiful and everything about this looks so sketchy #you might lie and say this is the guest book of munich #i say this is something else and we should be worried about guy joe over here #markus söder dni

watched Lilo and Stitch the other day and a piece of my soul died at the 2$ adoption fee. Getting an animal from the SPCA where I live costs like $500 now :/

#and the SPCA tends to go out of their way to lie about any behaviour problems #the owners of the cat I got off craigslist for $100 were upfront about the fact she's a menace #I signed up for that lol #this is what 22 years of unchecked inflation has done to us #and we're not gonna talk about how I'm comparing US money to CAD money #so that $500 adoption fee up here is probably closer $700 down there #that's assuming SPCAs still function the same in the states #I'm not claiming that it was ever only 2$ in the states 'cause Lilo and Stitch is a cartoon and they could've just thrown out any number #but I feel like it's in the realm of suspended disbelief #'cause I can't even imagine the amount of kids and parents that would've lost it if they went to shelter to get a pet after the movie #expecting the fee to be from 2-20$ only to find it's in the hundreds #so I feel like that's probably what the fee was around (at least in Hawaii) in 2002 #I know inflation is a thing but going from 2$ being believable to approximately 700$ on average in 22 years is *insane* #btw this is also probably why so few people bother adopting #because what's the point if I could get off craigslist or hell even a breeder for cheaper* than what I'll pay at a shelter? #*depending on the breed

please remember that it is a compliment to be disliked by people. most people don’t even like themselves. think about why you even want to be liked by somebody. why do YOU like YOURSELF?? why give a fuck about whether or not somebody with so much work to do on themselves doesn’t like you? they literally do not even like themselves. they can’t genuinely “like” you.

#mine #so tired of people who literally only know to people please #‘people pleaser’ is such a joke of a phrase bc they’re literally the most disappointing people i know #they don’t respect themselves #they live in such a way that is so repulsive to me it literally gives me euphoria to know they dislike me #call me names lie about me tell me you never wanna see me again #it’s literally bliss #like what do they expect? #for me to cry on the floor and beg them to love me?? i am not a fucking codependent like everyone else you know #i’m not gonna fucking fawn over you after you mistreat me #and of course no one else will defend me bc they’re all cowards too #afraid to not be on the narcissist’s team #bc the only other team has literally one player and that’s the scapegoat / truth teller #literally who tf wants to go against the narc?? nobody!! that’s why they think i’m stupid #it’s a blessing to be hated by cowards #it’s a sign you’re doing at least one thing right #acoa #family systems #codependency #narcissitic abuse #sick & tired of people living in these beat-around-the-bush type relationships where they are never direct and they are never happy #they don’t actually CARE about each other #they just want to be comfortable!!! #well it’s not COMFORTABLE to grow #‘you’re not the same person you used to be’ yeah well you’re EXACTLY THE SAME!!! #i love when people think that’s an insult #go ahead and tell on yourself #you have never changed or grown or confronted the ways that you treat people #i’m over it #it’s such a joke when these people try to talk to you

been thinking about Them so i redrew a screenshot to cope (it made me worse)

#tuco salamanca #nacho varga #better call saul #thinking is so bad - i need to stop doing it #desperately want to write something coherent about them - but i haven’t managed it yet so have this instead! #the way i drew Tuco in like 45 minutes and then Nacho took me fucking hours #and i’m STILL not fully happy with him!!!!!! #he looks so easy to draw and YET!!!!!!!! #i was trying to capture a lot of different emotions there too #bc the primary emotion is obviously that Nacho knows he’s about to betray Tuco and he’s worried about that… about something going wrong #but there’s also like. he’s watching Tuco do this stupid ‘lie detector’ thing - right? #and that’s probably really annoyed Nacho in the past bc - as he says - it makes what could be a very quick and efficient collections #take hours and hours #but now it’s like. this is the last time he’s EVER gonna see Tuco doing it and that’s Something - right? #because also you have Tuco scanning every dealer desperately for any sign of betrayal #and all the while the real danger is sitting right behind him in the form of the one person he trusts completely #it’s all just So Fucking Much #more people should be insane about this #let’s hear it for the Miserable Depressing Relationships gang!!!! rise up!!!!!!

Hey! I was summoned by the tags you put under my post bc I also very much enjoy discussing ethics. I might make this into its own post so I'll try to not elaborate too much...

I think that I can't just decide for everyone if the difference between doing good for the sake of goodness or in order to save oneself matters, but for me, in most cases, including Dazai's case, it doesn't.

I like to believe that morality is a choice one can decide to make, and I don't think it's fair to take that away from them, regardless on how they might feel on the inside. It's a wonderful thing to act morally because it's your "natural" tendency, but I think people also have the right to do so deliberately, for a reason that they choose, without their choice being minimised. They're two different processes for sure, but if the outcome is good, then the action is a good action, and, if being moral is a choice, then I don't think I have the right to decide that only one intention or emotion that will lead there is good enough.

Also, doing good for your own sake and for the sake of others are mutually exclusive at all. One feeds the other, and if we were to put every person's actions under such scrutiny, we would ultimately run in circles.

So, for people outside the story, I would say that the debate does matter, but for the sake of the people involved, it doesn't, because the outcome is the same, especially since Dazai is so opaque as a character, and what he really feels about the things he does is so hard to read, so at the end of the day all most of them experience is his actions.

[Post this is referring to] Thank you for your elaboration, I loved hearing your opinion on the matter!!! That's close to consequentialism, isn't it? The consequences of one's actions, how much good they produced, are telling of it being morally right or wrong. I don't necessarily agree, but that's definitely a valid way to see it!!! I personally believe one's intentions are the most relevant aspect to take into account when judging whether and action is ethically rightful or not. Note that that is judging the moral of the action itself, and not giving a judgement on the person; people can have a million reasons to act selfishly, and in my very “humans are always inherently good” worldview more often than not it's caused by society rather than an actual preference to not be altruistic. But that doesn't change the fact that even a good action, if it isn't moved by good intentions, won't ever be passable of being morally right to me. Besides, then, wouldn't the other way round work to? Someone well intentioned, who's however incompetent, and ends up with their actions putting more bad in the world– as long as they're acting with a true desire to help others for the sake of it, their actions can't be considered morally wrong for me.

To clarify, with reference to your ask; I don't think people who do something for selfish reasons, and end up doing good, are morally rightful; but if they decide to do good, well, isn't that a well-intentioned aim itself? Then I think they stop being selfish to the extension that they consciously decide they're going to do good. That's not morally reprinandable at all.

Now, regarding Dazai... Honestly, I don't think Dazai is a good person. Because he never meant to do good for the sake of it. But now, the thing is, I don't think anyone in bsd is meant to be interpreted as good or evil– nobody, not Atsushi, not Mori, no one. When it comes to bsd– I do think bsd expresses a more or less nihilist worldview. And I know pretty much everyone else disagrees with me on this, I know, I'm sorry. But I do think there lies an undergoing message that good and bad are ultimately the same, and equally meaningless– it's there in Oda saying “Neither good nor evil mean much to you”, it's there in the way it makes you root for mafiosi like they were the good guys, it's there in the way Dazai never even considered to make amends for the bad things he's done (because they were never bad to begin with, because good and bad mean nothing anyway), it's there in the way it constantly shows good people doing bad and bad people doing good in a way that basically equalises them. To me there's really no point in discussing whether Dazai is good, because he is most evidently not, but that's only because he was never meant to be interpreted as such to begin with. Please refer to this post for further details; it's not surprising at all that Dazai switching over to the “good side” didn't come with a radical change of heart, and that he basically stayed the same, because how could he become good when that's no different than being evil, and those both mean nothing anyway?

And I know most people see bsd's core theme as finding a reason to live, and maybe it is, but even then I think that wouldn't be by denying its nihilism, but rather accepting it and finding a reason to live in spite of it: to me all of bsd really sums up in “that, at least, is a little more beautiful”.

#Average Tumblr user reading this post: Wow Op really doesn't get anything about bsd's message #I know it's an unpopular opinion. I'm sorry. Sometimes it happens and you're fully entitled to think my takes are terrible #osamu dazai #bsd #bsd analysis #mine #people asks me stuff #Peoples I know every time I am prompted to say something of this kind I get ten different asks elaborating on why I'm wrong‚ #and I truly appreciate them– without irony‚ I do‚ I dearly cherish getting to see things from a different perspective! #I just haven't gotten around to answering them because. It's just that there's only this much hours in the day– #and although I'm sure it'd open for extremely interesting dialogues‚ there's other things I'd rather be doing than discussing over– #whether bsd as a story is good or bad– I never signed up to talk about anything that wasn't ss/kk to begin with anyways. #I hope you understand!!!! #If I ever was to finish my infinite list of planned posts you can be sure I'll get back to them asks #but in the meantime they're probably going to lie at the bottom of my inbox. #Still I do immensely appreciate people's kindness in attempting to make me see things from a different angle!!!

sam traumatic brain injury thoughts rn

#gmm voice. lets talk about that. #also back on my sam with epilepsy shit #anyway constant tbis is causing this guy to be half deaf and have regular seizures and migrains and shit #i think the weight of 'my GOD my brains been fucked' would only rly hit him once they move into the bunker and become more established #like their whole life theyre on the move always running to or from something so hes always got a distraction. something to keep moving for #and once he has a place to be and stay it kind of creeps up on him. #he cant research like he used to. cant focus or comprehend certain shit and even if he can hes prone to headaches and migraines and #he wants to keep going. to help out but the only way to help is to step away from any screens and just lie in a dark room for a while #and come back to it later. he doesnt really realise that ur head hurting all the damn time and his level of forgetfulness isnt just #a sign that hes getting older. hes been prone to nosebleeds and stuff his entire life so that doesnt register as weird either #and once theyre in the bunker and hes probably a little less stressed about being on the run for his entire life i think hed realise #that HUH thats weird i havent had a seizure in a while. i wonder why. #i DO this sam wuld have a lot of these things even before any brain trauma #like hes always had headaches and nosebleeds and the occasional seizure. but thats part of why he thought they were just like. normal #disablednatural

i understand why many fountain pen users prefer subdued, more professional ink colours but the thing about me is i dont use my pens much outside of drawing and writing in my planner or oc idea notebook so i’m armed with three jinhaos and one kakuno each with a different shimmer ink at all times

also signing documents with in glittery pink is awesome

#like okay. if an ink isnt a waterproof one (sketchink has been great for watercolours!) than i AT LEAST need some pretty crazy shading #but im not gonna lie i got a bunch of samples a while back and most were funky glittery sheening shading things #and one was like a normal dark green #its a beautiful dark green. but i like. never fill my pens with it #i had a pen with it and after a week i switched it to a gray with gold sparkles #i NEED glitter you dont understand #a few downsides to my glittery fountain pen situation: #1) with fountain pens in general since you dont press hard at all carbon paper is my mortal nemesis #like i already struggled with carbon paper before (had to rewrite so many documents twice 😔) #but with a fountain pen? forget about it hjksdlfJHFKlds #AND 2) the other day in class i lent a kid the pen i was using so he could sign in a form #without thinking about the fact that it was my shark shaped jinhao with 1) is a fountain pen with most people arent used to writing with and #2) was filled with a sample of ferris wheel april showers (glittery light gray) which is decently wet #i hoped they survived that short experience with my shark pen. i gotta start carrying around normal pens again for lending purposes LOL #edit: oh man and at the time the nib in there was an old FPR m nib but today i switched it to an old FPR flex #imagine ur first fountain pen experience being a flex nib.... chaos reigns

i would like to buy less takeout, because it costs a lot of money and makes it harder for me to plan future meals. however i am routinely getting home after 8:30 or 9 and can’t realistically cook & then clean & then get everything else done & then sleep. that way lies living like my girlfriend, who is maximally caffeinated at all times & also has not had free time to have unstructured thoughts in for like eight years. so i guess maybe prescription stimulants will get me there. fingers crossed for the ekg results im supposed to get back soon

i understand that we have as a society invented a solution to this. i know that this is the dread spectre of meal prepping which looms before me. however.... god in heaven, how awful

of course meal prep assumes you have a free 3-hour block on the weekend to make infinite stewed whatever & don’t need to use that time to stare at the ceiling feeling sad about the next 5 hours of your sunday that you will be at work for

#actually i just don't understand how people can own a sufficient of tupperwares or maintain enough fridge and freezer room for meal prep #*number of. tried to use a pound sign lmao #there are so many dependencies! guy who has lots of containers. guy who remembers to bring containers for lunch #guy who can manage to do things in some kind of routine or habit-based way. guy who will do something that sucks and not lie down and cry #guy who schedules out all his eating correctly and doesn't run out of farro too fast or have all the arugula go bad or whatever #guy who likes grains. #so many kinds of guy to be about this. #box opener #food

i think normally it’d be insufferable to see a guy who gets up real close in people’s personal space and basically says “no thats not what ur feeling, ur lying” and of course he’s Right because of a debunked bullshit pseudoscience... but 1. i have exquisite willing suspension of disbelief and 2. i am so willing bcuz
