I kinda find it hard nowadays to get too invested in any media like comics, shows, movies, or games.
Like there are people talking about media in a multitude of ways, mostly hate due to being the louder part, and there are a few that are actually just joining fandom without prior knowledge, like there was a guy on twitter who just got into jojo, which is incredible with how often it’s referenced.
But with all the discussions, spoilers, and videos and threads about topics, I can’t get the same sort of excitement unless I get into a old, untouched by many media, or one that just released.
I know that the easiest solution is “get off social media”, but I’m just stuck because it’s kinda like an addiction, I can put it down, but not too long, and something in my head just says “keep it on you at all times” like watch a vid when eating, play music or a show you won’t watch for background noise, look at memes to feel emotions that isn’t stress, actually finish work on the computer. I’m too mentally reliant on media to just walk away and even if I’m not looking for spoilers, I’ll find it anyways.
In the end, I’m not going to be like other fans, like I can join in on discussions or share ideas, but I won’t feel the surprises or emotions others will.
This is probably a me problem, but I need to do this to get this outta my head. I find things leaving my head if I draw/write them into something else.
If anyone sees this, have a good day.
Trick or treat!
Wasn’t expecting one so soon, here’s a big plate of spicy Mapo tofu with rice.
Ahh, I love it when a story has two characters who fit with each other’s story and their personalities mean they will get along but are cursed by never meeting in canon whether by missing each other, never in the same place or death. At least fanfics help remedy this.
stupid leftists and their belief in *checks notes* the intrinsic value of human life
oh ya I downloaded xiaohongshu/rednote please enjoy some of the fresh chinese memes I've collected from our international sisters
Well, that was a story.
Something you can’t really unread, but good to know.
I will be thinking of this for a long time.
I only learned about this story a couple months ago from my friend who does Wormgerm, but I instantly knew that 1) it was going to be my October 31 post and 2) I was going to illustrate it.
This is of the most horrendously nasty fairy tales you may ever hear. It revolves entirely around graphicbody horror and repeated non-consensual childbirth between a demon and a kidnapped fairy queen. I do my best to preserve the details without getting too upsetting, but the demon literally keeps drugging his stolen wife to conceive a series of deformed monsters and some of the ways in which they were born even make me squeamish.
But, yes, this legend really does involve tapeworm creatures. And weirder. The nine demon children are responsible for all diseases known to man, and take a variety of verminous animal forms, each with their own areas of expertise in the art of pestilence.
I’ve transcribed the most complete version I could from multiple sources, and drawn all nine slimy hellspawn.
So if you have a strong stomach for dark, disturbing ancient legends, learn where the common cold really came from (a hagfish baby. It was a hagfish baby.)
I’ve been thinking of how those rich anime girls or Ojou-samas and how they laugh and I got to wonder if one can imagine one laughing in French, Like not in a dignified ohohohoh~ but more like an exaggerated hon hon hon laugh
I really need to do more studying and write an essay on how Americanism is a genuine folk religion which reveres capital and the vague concept of “the free market” as a god of providence to be pleased in order to lead a prosperous life, also that the founding fathers are prophetic, perhaps even messianic figures who basically gave birth to this god through the revolutionary war, and that the vast majority of conservative Christians in America revere capital more than the god they claim to serve in an ironic sort of golden calf situation.
Mostly here to lurkWill sometimes interact with users if I want toYou can ask me things.
