who is old enough to be part of the fanfic.net era where we literally talked to our characters? like, had conversations with them?
cause I do. as a lonely child of 12 who had no friends, it was a favorite pasttime of mine to boot up the dial-up internet and type out imaginary conversations with ouran high school host club characters in the beginning notes before even starting the damn chapter (which was inevitably 500 words long and absolutely awful)
it's completely shocking and saddening to me that people are taking this superstraight bullshit seriously enough to think that it's something you need to reject. Stop making posts that say "DON'T TALK TO ME IF YOU'RE SUPERSTRAIGHT. UNFOLLOW IF YOU IDENTIFY AS DJFNJDDN". You're giving this obviously fake creation by some imageboard social rejects the legitimacy they were hoping for when they were concocting it. By acting like "superstraight" is anything other than something someone made to piss people off, you're laying the foundation for people to start identifying as it unironically.
Just let it die. you don't NEED internet points for reblogging a post saying "unfollow if you're superstraight!" or a post making fun of the concept entirely. so just don't interact with any posts you see which act like it's a legitimate thing. it isn't.
social anxiety: see? no one wants to talk to you. everyone who doesn't already hate you is starting to realize how annoying you are. they're already sick of you and it would just prove to them how manipulative you are if you asked them to lie just to reassure you.
One of many things that makes Nepal a fascinating country is that it’s one of the last remaining countries where Marxists play a major, active role in governance, and like most Marxists everywhere, none of them can stand each other
i do unironically love saying The Before Times when talking about covid. if we’re gonna be in a deadly pandemic we might as well talk like we’re in bad YA. let’s allow ourselves that
i ADORE the anomitinity of tumblr. when i post stupid ass shit from my mush brain on like snapchat or whatever i gotta deal with messages like “are you okay?” and “what does this even mean”. here i can just post 30 pictures of dinosaurs in a row and my followers will be like YEEEEEAAAA BABBY
"claims to be pro life / dies anyway" is truly the gift that keeps on giving. we can get endless mileage out of it. thank you to whoever concocted this perfect little phrase and thank you especially to antonin scalia for setting the ball rolling here
