Hey instead of a Harry Potter world there should be a lord of the rings world where it’s super immersive and you’re given a sword when you enter the world and giant spiders chase you and the elf actors eat dirt and offer you some
i feel like sasuke is a stupidly gullible parent like hes absolutely convinced that sarada would never lie to him despite her having the same uchiha genes that once inhabited itachis body
sasukes like “sarada did you do your homework” and saradas like “of course papa i always complete my homework before dinner time im a little saddened by the fact that you dont trust me now if youll excuse me chocho and i have plans to marathon zac effrons entire film collection”
and sasukes like i love u child and im so proud of u except all he actually says is “neat very cool” and saradas almost out the front door until narutos like “WAIT. SARADA SHOW US YOUR HOMEWORK” and sasukes like “i trust my child” and narutos like “i dont show us your homework” and sarada throws her backpack on the ground and yells that she hates this family as she stomps upstairs bc she definitely 100% did not do her hw and sasuke is horrorstricken that his own flesh and blood would lie to him but also a lil proud.
literally that same night at dinner:
sasuke: if you eat all your vegetables you can have ice cream
sarada: ive already finished them they were delicious, papa
naruto: [leans over and whispers to her] i know youre feeding them to the dog
sarada: [whispering back] so are you!!
sasuke: [is happy and content with his loving truthful family]
I aint gonna articulate this right but I’ve noticed there’s this weird sub culture on tumblr where it’s frowned upon to say anything positive about your life. Like occasionally I see someone post something like “I love my job so much” and a few responses are like “wish I could find a job :/” or “must be nice to not have depression” and it’s really strange. A lot of people are pulling themselves out of dark places or finally figuring out how to be happy (no easy feat) and they don’t need you projecting your own demons on their moments of happiness they wanted to share.
“Crab mentality or crabs in a bucket (also barrel, basket or pot) is a way of thinking best described by the phrase ‘If I can’t have it, neither can you.’ The metaphor refers to a pattern of behaviour noted in crabs when they are trapped in a bucket. While any one crab could easily escape, its efforts will be undermined by others, ensuring the group’s collective demise.”
- Crab Mentality, Wikipedia
Other examples:
Most incel groups
Eating disorder groups that glorify thinness
Trans groups constantly criticizing each other’s appearance and ‘passability’.
“Other trans people can’t get insurance or crowd funding for their surgery because I have had to save every penny myself”
Basically EVERY “I paid for it so others can’t get it for free, I suffered for this so others can’t have it easy” mentality.
Social justice groups where gaining any kind of ‘privilege’ through transition, finding a job or mental health recovery is immediately met with suspicion, criticism and a decline in group connections.
If something getting better in your life isn’t met with enthusiasm and support.. get out of that social space.
Listen. Cut your own hair. Dye it blue, then shave it off when you’re bored of it. Wear that outfit with those shoes. Paint your nails with all the colors of the rainbow. Get that tattoo. Go to the movies alone. Get coffee, then drink it at that special place you like. Mouth the words of the song you’re listening to on public transport. Put that thing on your wall. Bake. Draw. Dance in your underwear. Life is so much better when you don’t give a fuck
this isn’t 100% punk but dude down to it this is the essence of punk
when I talk about kink being bad i’m not talking about, say, a woman who smacks her bf’s ass on occasion, but the culture of surrounding yourself with kink constantly.
it’s not healthy to consume lots of “vanilla” porn anyway (most of it stolen from sex workers but that’s another post), but it’s especially unhealthy when that porn revolves around violence and fetishism of abuse.
you are not oppressed because you can’t discuss it loudly in public due to the possibility children could overhear/people could find it triggering.
you aren’t coping healthily by reenacting childhood abuse (eg. dd lg), and anyone/any therapist that says it is a good mechanism needs ditching. you are re-traumatising yourself.
needing violence or mind games to get off is not normal, and I do not say this in an ewwwww non vanilla sex is icky way, rather that depending on what in any other context would be toxic behaviours to come will fuck you over long term.
kink going uwu mainstream and the shouting down of anyone who says “maybe we should think critically about this” has lead to a generation of baby girls thinking being choked is a normal sexual practice, and that’s gonna be quite literally deadly.
it is not puritan to say any of this. i’m not saying you should only do 10 minutes of under the covers missionary, but to be quite frank, if you can’t think of ways to experiment in the bedroom without violence, you shouldn’t be fucking.
The goddamn Apple Store is so fucking trendy these motherfuckers don’t even use cash registers anymore. Like holy shit why would I ever want to wait in line to pay for my immensely overpriced lightning bolt-to-usb cable, when I can wander around aimlessly looking for the one bearded top knot in the grey shirt who happens to have a card reader attached to his free iPhone 6? Literally fucking walked up a dude and was like ‘Yo where’s the till?’ And guy looks at me straight in the fucking face and says, ‘Oh well, there should be one or two people walking around on either side of the store who can process your payment.’ ALL OF YOU DRESS EXACTLY THE SAME! Am I supposed to accost every single goddamn one of you until I finally find the one goddamn fucking anthropomorphisized Mac Computer who is willing to let me pay for this shit? And when I finally find the dude and let him tap his shit against the box that I’m trying to purchase, of course he gives me the smuggest fucking smile I’ve ever seen on a human face and asks, ‘Would you like to use Apple Pay?’ Like GOOD LORD can we please just take a step outside of your möbius fucking circle jerk and let me hand you fifteen pounds in cash? Cash money? Real fucking physical fucking tender? No it’s okay, I don’t need a fucking receipt. What, you mean you’re going to print me a real receipt? A physical receipt that I can carry in my pocket? You’re not gonna beam it to my fucking wrist? You’re not going to send it via dropbox to an undisclosed fucking IP Address where I have to complete a CAPTCHA and accept your terms and conditions for the one millionth time in order to check that, yes, I did just spend £20 pounds and 45 minutes on a thin wire made of plastic and metal that’s gonna break in a month anyway? I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND THIS PLANET ANYMORE
