I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

#anti intellectualism #media #movies #books #music #critical thinking #my friend who primarily listens to one very popular band once said that people who listen to obscure music are annoying and pretentious #which rubbed me the wrong way because 1 she knows that I listen to obscure music and 2 it’s such a cowardly consumerist take. anyone can #make music and hey a lot of the people who do make GOOD music. and this goes for all *obscure* media #this post was mostly inspired by people talking about Barbie and those anti pick me girls like the pick nobody girls who insist thinking is #for boys and having fun with an empty brain is for girls. Greta gerwig is an artist. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I know it has a deeper #message than haha cute pink! I’ve seen the summaries about the true meaning. the pinkness and popularity doesn’t negate the narritive. #though in the notes I saw a lot of tumblristas comunistas shitting on the film for being one big ad that people *fell for* which tbh is #tbh almost as anti-intellectual. don’t get me wrong they milked this film to sell hella shit but I don’t believe kids who play with dolls #are the target audience as these people claim. Barbie is a culturally iconic symbol almost archetypical of societal expectations for women #you say barbie people think unblinking perfect plastic pink girly. reminds me of the poem The Last Mojave Indian Barbie. yeah yeah you all #hate brands but this one carries undeniable significance and makes for a powerful literary device. it’s been used many times before #sorry for writing a tag essay about a film I haven’t even seen but I’m tired of internet people focusing so much on proving others wrong #that they end up oversimplifying everything just as much as the other person. god I saw people doing this to Nimona saying transphobes were #looking too deep into her character and they’re reactionary clowns for making that jump. like for once the transphobes are right. she is #trans. it’s a queer story. and irl the first people who notice queerness are the bigots who can tell you’re different. sick owns telling #them the story’s not that deep is harmful and it’s like they’re ignoring the real message on purpose. okay enough rambling hehe! thanks #barbie #nimona

i finished doing an updated reference of my explorers of sky team!! these guys live rent free in my head i like them a lot (some fun facts under the cut because i have too much to say about them)

circuit

was found by mello passed out on the beach, with no memories other than their name, and the fact they were once human…

had the scars on their horn and fin from the moment they woke up on the beach, and never figured out why they had them until they went to dark crater

the main navigator and also the cartographer of the group! they carry the wonder map with them, along with a feather pen and paper for mapping out the floors of mystery dungeons

was originally always the leader, but often now they will switch between themselves and mello depending on the situation

came up with the team name! they think it is very cool and nobody else except for mello agrees.

has a habit of rushing into fights without thinking, so they often need to duck behind mello for cover when things get dicey

only stores light things in their bag, like their paper and a few healing items in case of an emergency. they will also often hold onto items that need to be delivered to clients so they don't get mixed up with other equipment

they offered to carry mello's bag once and were immediately squished by it, and now they are permanently banned from carrying anything heavy.

mello

formed a team with circuit after the two joined wigglytuff's guild together

a lighter color than most mudkip! the 'splotchy' or spotty patterns she has are also a common trait of water types, possibly because it helps them blend into the water more

her gills are curved and her head fin is longer than normal, which causes it to fold over because of the extra weight. these are only aesthetic differences, and don't affect anything about their functionality!

keeps track of the job requests, usually has a bulleted list she keeps on her. likewise she also keeps an eye out for the items and/or pokemon they need to find in dungeons

has a fascination with all things ancient and mysterious. she has a growing collection of aged books, even in subjects she doesn't have much interest in.

also enjoys collecting various odd objects, and souvenirs from the places she's been! she decorates sharpedo bluff with them.

originally carried the bulk of items they found in dungeons, but after luna joined mello now only carries equipment (orbs, scarves, etc.), while luna carries treasure (boxes, poke, etc.)

one of her favorite hobbies is reading, she finds it's a good way to wind down after an exploration. recently, she has taken up journaling as well.

stripe

met circuit and mello when they explored sky peak together, and she joined the team soon after!

grew up in a colder climate, hence their extra fur

trained at marowak dojo following her joining the team, in an attempt to match the levels of circuit and mello. her brown bow is from marowak!

handles inventory management, took over for circuit who did it prior. she insists she doesn't mind, she finds it satisfying to do.

doesn't speak very often, except to people that they're comfortable with. because of her easygoing nature, she's often the first one other members of the team come to for advice!

has their own home where they live by themselves, but they stay at sharpedo bluff enough that they consider it their second home

one of her favorite spots is spinda's cafe, they enjoy sitting down and crowd watching. mello likes to join her sometimes!

stripe exclusively holds onto healing items like reviver seeds, so they're able to quickly grab one if someone is in a pinch.

mana

joined the team after they came to sharpedo bluff to return to the place they hatched!

has the same kind of splotchy patterning as mello! this is only by pure coincidence, though.

circuit and mello are very protective of mana following their illness when they were young, but they insist they are able to handle themselves.

has the occasional mischievous streak in which they find it entertaining to intentionally scare their parents. i wonder who they get that from…

being the most recent recruit to team epic squad, mana is still figuring out exactly where their specialties lie. but that doesn't mean they're not trying their best!

never quite figured out who exactly it was that left mana's egg alone in the middle of the ocean. circuit has some strongly worded things to say to them if they ever encountered them.

they view mello and circuit as their parents, and walrein is more like an uncle to them. they still see walrein on occasion when he comes to visit treasure town!

carries no bag, only their defense scarf. circuit and mello worry about them straining themselves, so they will usually not bring any items with them.

luna

joined the team after the fight at dark crater!

really not a fan of the team name, but also trying really hard not to be rude about it. she will often refer to it as 'team epic' for short.

not used to having casual conversations with pokemon, so she often will come across as stilted when speaking. instead of names she will default to referring to a pokemon by their position (ie the kecleon brothers are shopkeeps, chatot is head of intelligence, etc)

because of how long she's been around, she has a knack for spotting rare or unusual items! she is not particularly good at estimating monetary value, however.

having trouble figuring out how to relax now that she doesn't have to focus on thwarting any world-ending plots. the rest of the team has gradually been working on getting her to loosen up more

enjoys the company of the future trio, celebi in particular. they like to discuss "legendary pokemon things", as celebi puts it.

has reasons for joining the team beyond finding the work of exploration teams fascinating. she has not told anyone what those reasons are, though.

carries all the various treasure the team finds! she has a liking for any especially shiny objects.

also as a bonus for making it thru the fun facts heres the old reference i did of team epic squad (around 2021 i think??) which this one was a redraw of! (and i also added luna)

#pokemon mystery dungeon #pmd eos #pmd 2 #rotom #mudkip #furret #manaphy #cresselia #mang doodles #my junk #too many tags..... i didnt know what ones to use #i think this is the first time ive posted abt them but ive had these guys for a while #i updated my desktop tumblr theme recently and i added a gif i made of circuit and mello in the corner... the guys ever #also its a lil hard to tell bc both circuit and mello have blue and orange in their color schemes #but their respective accessories are meant to match the colors of each other! #circuits bow is color picked from mello and mellos band is color picked from circuit :]

Do you think Glamrock Freddy x Glamrock Bonnie will be confirmed one day? It's still always a question I have

(Btw every anamatronic after FNAF security breach)

I think they'll add some other hints like the "You and Me forever and ever! -Love, Freddy" poster in G.Bonnie's room but if I have to be completely honest I think Steel Wool Studios doesn't have the guts and rather prefer to leave things ambiguous as they are unfortunately.

#i do ship them tho #like a lot #i think they were so cute together #i kinda want to see how the band was before Monty took his place #i also think G Chica and Roxy would be cute together #but they have too many issues to work as of now #one is obsessed with look #the other with food #fnaf #fnaf security breach #fnaf ruin #fnaf security breach ruin #security breach ruin #five nights at freddy's security breach #security breach #ruin dlc #ruins #fnaf ruin dlc #fnaf sb ruin #sb ruin #ruin #fnaf sb #fnaf sb au #fnaf sb ruin dlc #fnaf sb dlc #fnaf vr 2 #fnaf vr help wanted 2 #fnaf vr hw 2 #fnaf 11 #glamrock animatronics

flashbacks to dialogue that happened less than a minute ago are annoying and a little insulting for obvious reasons, unless it's in bad buddy episode 5 [2/4] and pat is having entirely serious sepia toned flashbacks to fifty seconds ago while almost shoving a set of drumsticks he hasn't even paid for yet up his nose. then it's brilliant and world changing

#don't mind me i'm just chewing glass today #when the architecture band starts playing at freshy day and ink says to pat hey isn't that the song you two played that christmas? #it's like yeah... but that's a maddeningly casual way to refer to an event that in the context of the series wide metaphor #is really more like their parents caught them making out in a closet. and then pran got sent to boarding school over it #and NOW pran is up there on stage playing that same song again. looking right at pat when he announces it. but plaYING IT with WAI #and not intentionally. not in a mean sort of way. because pran doesn't know #he doesn't KNOW that pat's been shoving drumsticks up his nose while being struck cold by Love Signs #because how could he. all he knows is that very recently pat was sighing in relief that pran isn't his rival for ink. because pat likes ink #pran does NOT know that in the (very short. more than fifty seconds but still very short) meantime #pat has tried to figure out if ink might like him back. pat has in the process accidentally figured out that HE might like pran #AND pat has tried to confess his feelings to ink only for her to go. very kindly. are you sure you like me that way? i don't think you do #(because he's the wrONG SIBLING. she likes the OTHER SIBLING. which is hilarious but a different thing to go insane over) #and it's like. pran doesn't know!!! pran is just having a day like any other. pran has Known forever #he doesn't KNOW that when they're standing there surrounded by guitars (it's essentially a gay bar. don't even get me started) #(because that's a joke but it's also not. not really. it is but it's not. you know) #!! that when they're standing there surrounded by guitars. pat is suddenly going OH. in sepia toned flashbacks to fifty seconds ago #when they were ALSO standing there surrounded by guitars btw. which is the point. nothing has changed but maybe everything has #it's the same thing it was fifty seconds ago but maybe it's not. maybe pat suddenly hears the music that's been playing forever #and maybe this is way too many fucking tags. i don't even think this is the glass i was chewing originally #* #bad buddy #bad buddy the series

I re-watched band of brothers again for the first time in 2 years and It made me miss when this blog was mostly hbo war. Also made me kinda sad because I used to have so many friends/mutuals in the fandom that I would talk to but a lot of them have left and now I don't interact with many people anymore

anyway I need more hbo war blogs to follow , so please recommend some or interact with this post if you're an hbo war blog 💕

#hbo war #band of brothers #the fandoms different now there are so many new people #which is great! #but it's still relatively small and I feel like everyone knows each other #since I haven't been as active it just means I don't know as many people anymore #I haven't left the fandom I'm still here ! #just been posting about other stuff #this blog will always be a multi fandom mess #but I want to post more hbo war content again #forgot how much I love the show #I need to re watch the pacific again soon too #insert *i abandoned my boy* gif here #sarabel speaks #saras personal posts

worst crowd Ive ever been in was Yves Tumor directly following lockdown 💔 I had to leave barricade because people were shoving so much I was getting bruised and it stopped being worth it for me. there was some girl directly behind me and the girl next to me who would NOT stop grinding on the girl next to me even when asked. like a complete fucking stranger. the rest of the crowd was wearing masks (they were required) but she had hers pulled down and kept VAPING in my face. people were loudly rude to the opener and their fans. before Yves came on fans who were shoving in from behind said they would give anyone who got in their way a black eye. I dont hold it against Yves at all and theyre an excellent performer and artist and Id love to see them again but that was genuinely such an awful pit to be in ausgsugwgsh

#only BAD concert experience Ive ever had. and totally the fault of the crowd. was shocked that other concerts post covic #were not this bad. I know a lot of people say concerts are all bad rn but I do think most audiences are lovely #speaking #Ive been to many many many concerts since then and the only other kinda sucky #interaction Ive had were some dudes at interpol being kinda rude to me and my friend because they wanted barricade but. like I was there #first idc. I did my time I love this band too and I showed up hours early so I could get left barricade its what I want man

Did I miss "back from the war" recreation or is that not happening

OK so i've been meaning to address this for a while because it’s actually something i've been genuinely annoyed/sad/upset about; my original plan to recreate the post was to go to riot fest & have someone take pics of me during MCR live in person (caption wouldve been something like ‘when will mcr--omg they;re Back from the Warfdskns’ lol idk). i ended up 2nd row from the barrier & i was like OMG bc i didn’t expect to get so close & i was like ‘WOW these r gonna b such GR8 PICTURES!!i;m so lucky!!this is gENIUS!’ & so my plan was literally going according to/even better than planned right?? i mean the fact that i was ~a few feet away from the stage n was ~1.5hrs away from seeing mcr LIVE??? my plan was going along SUSPICIOUSLY well..everything was falling into place TOO perfectly...it was almost to good to be true right??? IT WAS. everything went to shit & my plan fell thru during the last band before MCR when my body suddenly fell victim to the effects of being crowd crushed for >7 hours straight; i experienced syncope & was pulled over the barrier & out of the pit by security.

sooooo, you didn’t ‘miss’ anything; the post was supposed to be recreated at the concert, but the universe pulled an uno-reverse on me when it remembered i’m on the universal ‘Do Not Ever Allow to Be Truly Happy’ list lol. i meant to post an update abt my failed plan afterwards, but tbh the actual event in itself made me wanna fr kms, and i felt even guiltier/worse for being unable to fulfill my promise to u all bc i fr planned on recreating it at the concert. 'ok but u were still at the concert after u got pulled out’ ok physically yes but mentally N-Ooo. due to the hypoxia (lack of blood blow/oxygen to the brain) i’d obtained secondary to being crowd crushed PLUS the psychological trauma of being removed against my living breathing dying will from the pit (btw the psychological trauma has nothing to do with being crowd-crushed but im not gonna get into that turmoil rn lol), i was stuck in an altered mental state for the remainder of the concert. i was dissociated for mcr’s entire set until i woke up the next morning & it took ~3-4 days for my body to fully recover from the physical trauma of being crowd crushed.

i still plan on recreating the post eventually, but tbh it’s not rlly my top priority atm bc 1) i still can’t come to terms w/ the fact i lost my 1 n only chance to experience MCR live & 2) imo seeing MCR live was the perfect opportunity to recreate the post & that clearly didn’t work out for me sooo now i have no idea how else i can top that idea :( .

#i have an idea but i’m not sure if it’ll work...imma need mcr 2 pull thru n meet me halfway on this 1 lol #anywyas i h8 talking abt riot fest i feel like every1 h8s me whining abt it too lol #i was so angry and upset with the world and myself. i really tried so hard to stay conscious; #ppl were asking if i was ok & i kept nodding yes because i didn’t want to be pulled out of the pit bc #then i’d lose my spot + my ONLY chance to see MCR live & so up close. #next thing i know i’m being pulled over the barrier by security and WHOOSH into dissociationville i go. #they were too much for my brain to handle so i’d just fall back even more into that weird dissociated state #i honestly would have preferred to not have even attended the concert. like HONESTLY 100% deadass i wish i didnt even go. #like imagine urself in my shoes lol i went from being 2nd row from the stage to like 70000 rows away. #yall dont understand how awful it is to have such a golden opportuntiy to be 1 hr n a few feet away from the band who saved u #to having it all ripped away from u in literally a matter of seconds #if i’d just stayed home my 12y/o little wouldn’t have had to experience the psychological trauma of having everything to having nothing. #my 15/16 year old teen wouldnt have had to re-live the experience of realizing there’s nothing left #in this world to comfort/protect/save her OR her childself #22 year old me realizing i failed them and all the other parts of me. i cant be happy i cant have shit in this world #i couldnt have my mom but at least i had mcr right??? nope lol that got ripped out of my fingertips too #i cant even begin to describe the emotional damage/psychological blow the situation had on me bc like #i cant even put it into words and i know nobody will truly understand/believe me when i say how heartbreaking & detrimental this #situation was for my already fucked up psyche. or they’ll think im exaggerating but its like u dont get it #ive lost so many things and people i spent my entire childhood/adolescence maladaptive daydreaming. #at age 12 mcr became my escapism for ~4yrs straight bc they were the only thing that made me happy #while all the other ppl in the real world in my day to day life were making me wanna kms everyday #like ik it sounds extreme/dramatic but ??? i mean i dont even fully understand my reaction tbh. #i think its just mcr used to be my happy place n then i get to see them live and its just an absolute nightmare #and the fact that i was dissociated from their concert when they used to be the only thing to keep me grounded to this earth??? #truly i wish i didnt even go like i cant even listen to their music anymore without wanting to crawl out of my skin #when the only thing that made u feel alive made u feel deader than ever inside....yeahhhhh not fun!! #its a heartsinking feeling i hate it so much i wish i had a doever #mcr #when will mcr return from the war

cowtown, become a robot, and rhythm section want ad feel like pieces of a trilogy

#something very joyful in their experimentation just for the fun of making music #become a robot almost feels like a draft of rhythm section want ad where both encapsulate their mission statements as artists #the former feels like a lamentation for others not to have their spirit crushed by committee #''whoops too late'' because they've seen it happen to many people already #the latter seems more insular and specifically only about their own music and how people have misinterpreted it #it's more aggressive. as if the warning of become a robot didn't get the message across strong enough the first time #which is interesting because they really don't tend to make overtly autobiographical songs?? but this was early on #altho it's also kind of a funny song because they Did expand their band beyond themselves eventually. it did take another decade
