You see, ever since I was a small child I've always HATED Valentine's Day. Or, not so much hated it as much as I never really understood it.

If you make a holiday all about love, why be expected to do the least lovely, most annoying, most humiliating things? Like go on uncomfortable dates with strangers, or buy ridiculously expensive chocolate for someone who doesn't even like chocolate that much! No one loves that! Why not do something you actually love? Like sit at home and listen to niche Bulgarian techno bedroom shoegaze. Or buy some nice aged stinky cheese.

See, none of it ever made sense to me. Until I realized I was aromantic! I just don't feel romance. And nobody even told me!

You'd think that with something that significant and annoyingly present in life, someone would've at least given me a heads up. Like a doctor telling you that you're lactose intolerant, or allergic to wild parsnips. It's nice to have the info. Like, yeah, I'll probably still eat ice cream from time to time, but at least I know now why it rubs me the wrong way.

Which is why, Perry the Platypus—

I really deeply hate how the correct statement "using man-hating as a cover for transmisogyny is awful and you need to be able to recognize when that's being used as a dogwhistle" has somehow evolved into "misandry is real and that's why terfs are wrong" like no I don't think it is. Can we please retire Not All Men I can't do this

hmmm almost like he is additionally the most musical-protagonist-coded generic man in a suit blank slate ready for a whirlwind adventure romance comedy and yet does not like musicals hmmmm

Crazy how Paul Matthews, AKA the guy who gives off the biggest catboy energy, AKA the guy who looks like he'd rather stay home with his five cats than go out to socialize, AKA the guy who looks like a future 'cat mom' is written to NOT like cats

#no one show him cats the musical or he’ll flip the FUCK out #in all seriousness i adore hey melissa and i can’t fathom why you all don’t like it #i just found out about it and it’s maybe one of my favorite starkid things ever now #it’s a perfect if cracked mirror to paul’s storyline in TGWDLM with him eventually becoming and submitting to something he personally hates #also everything else about it is hilarious #i’m one of those ppl that really wanted the movie tusk to be good so i’m overjoyed that there’s a good version of that now #also melissa and her sick twisted human pet friends that hate quote unquote dogs is so layered and gendered and dissertation worthy #it’s saying so much in this messy way that i think goes over a lot of peoples heads if they’re not cool with shocking and fucked up stuff #but i love it #definitely does it better than jane’s a car smh #that song at the start does a better job of exploring the whole car as a woman thing than the entire episode #should’ve committed and made tom houston one of those guys that really wants to fuck his car. but they’re too attached to tom to do that ig #anyway #loony rambles #hatchetfield #the guy who didn't like musicals #paul matthews #starkid productions #starkid #hey melissa #jane’s a car

paulkins really is perfect bisexual representation because from the outside they seem like the most normal couple on earth but separate them and one evolves into a crotchety lesbian pot farmer and the other becomes a full time submissive catboy. also the world usually ends before they ever get the chance to truly understand their love for each other. also in the one timeline where they make it past the awkward flirting stage and get married, their love is only able to flourish when they themselves are the earth-shattering twist, revealing to each other just how abnormal they are, and how perfect they fit in each other’s arms. did i mention the catboy thing

this comment on the npmd livestream is so fucked up actually

something really beautiful about finding some extremely taboo piece of erotica & recognizing that the author is like, a person with aesthetic tastes? like they put jokes in, they're horny but they have a story to tell, something something the indominable spirit of the artist

#i have a similar piece of art i can never tell anyone about #if i were a brave man i’d make a cj the x folgers incest commercial style video on it #i never will #maybe some things are just for us

When I was eleven or twelve, my sexuality started growing in weird like an unchecked wisdom tooth. I had thoughts that were terrifying to me, sadistic sexual fantasies, specific and comprehensive, ones that I couldn't tell anyone close to me about. I thought it spoke to something horrible within me, something broken, I tried to shove it out but I couldn't. I just groomed myself on niche forums and communities, accepted at the age of 15 that I was a pervert and a pariah. I wrote songs about young gay love, but it was a front.

I'm 24 now. Maybe it's improved theory of mind, maybe it's just cus I've been able to talk about these things with other sexual assault survivors and I'm looking at my sexual self from the outside for the first time in my life. In the past months, I've realized my fantasies were always age appropriate. They were the fantasies of a scared and angry puppy, they were juvenile cries for help, desire for power, for love, a need for the things that were done to me to make sense. I'm autistic, all the interests I had in my youth are still with me, that scared and angry puppy is still here. It's cute, really.

“You shouldn’t self-ID as ADHD/autistic, you’re turning a very real mental condition into a trend” Ok then stop saying delulu. Stop speculating on which cluster C personality disorder the criminals you hear about on the news have. Stop saying “schizoposting” and “acoustic” and “is it restarted?” Stop using “psycopath” and “sociopath” as catch-all ways of calling someone a bad person. Stop saying “the intrusive thoughts won” when you bleach your hair and then turn your nose up at people who suffer from very real, very scary urges of physical/sexual violence. Stop saying “I’m so OCD” as a way of calling yourself neat. Stop treating BPD/ASPD/Bipolar as inherently abusive. Stop saying “OP I am living in your walls” without tagging for unreality. Stop diagnosing complete strangers you’ve never met on r/AITA with NPD.

You first. If you don’t want our disabilities to be treated like trends then stop belittling and minimising them. I’ll NEVER judge a person for trying find labels for their symptoms when an apathetic, racist, sexist, ableist healthcare system refuses to. But I will absolutely judge a hypocrite. Which a lot of you are

Hey btw, here's a piece of life advice:

If you know what you'd have to do to solve a problem, but you just don't want to do it, your main problem isn't the problem itself. Your problem is figuring out how to get yourself to do the solution.

If your problem is not eating enough vegetables, the problem you should be solving is "how do I make vegetables stop being yucky". If your problem is not getting enough exercise, the problem you should be solving is "how do I make exercise stop sucking ass". You're not supposed to just be doing things that are awful and suck all the time forever, you're supposed to figure out how to make it stop being so awful all the time.

I used to hate wearing sunscreen because it's sticky and slimy and disgusting and it feels bad and it smells bad, so I neglected to wear it even if I needed to. Then I found one that isn't like that, and doesn't smell and feel gross. Problem solved.

There is no correct way to live that's just supposed to suck and feel bad all the time. You're allowed to figure out how to make it not suck so bad.

The thing about the r slur is that people who are using it again are indeed using it as a slur. This isn't a word that is being reclaimed. This is a word that is once again being used 100% as a slur. You're being a bigot if you're using it against others. Straight up. There isn't another argument to be made. Knock it tf off.
