#Fuck your imaginary friends

[dougielombax]

Maybe the real Fight Club was the friends we made along the way.

*muffled Tyler Durden-like screaming from inside a massive padlocked wooden chest nearby what keeps shaking and shuddering violently at the same time*

Not this crap again….

*starts hammering violently on the wooden chest*

SHIT!!! UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

*the noises and shuddering stop abruptly*

Anyway….

#dougie rambles #personal stuff #my poor attempt at a joke #what #fight club #chuck palahniuk #david fincher #tyler durden #you’re not your fucking khakis #shit #this sounded funnier in my head #shitpost #highbrow shitposting #wooden box #the horrors #imaginary friends #or lack thereof #the friends we made along the way #remembrance tank #faction paradox #tangentially #media literacy #satire #anti consumerism #anti capitalism #leftism #make of this what you will

I feel like everyone's quality of life would improve dramatically if they watch Yugioh Zexal at least once in their life

#ygo #ygo zexal #zexal #yugioh zexal #btw sub OR dub it doesnt matter! #yes the original is better bc the dub did like... fuck up a lot of character nuance #/like erase an entire character's character arc #however. i think it depends greatly on what you want out of zexal #if you want to watch a show about a dude learning to love tomatoes but then cry nonstop: original #if you wanna watch a show about a dude telling ppl to butt out bc hes talking to his imaginary best friend #and ask if you just summoned your mom? go watch the dub like trust me its a TIME #yuma asks shark if what hes wearing is polyester and shark is SO offended its literally peak comedy

Feel free to skip on past this, I’ve just gotta ramble for a minute bc i cant stop thinking about this kid from work last week. They were so much like me at that age (5-6th grade) that I didn’t know how to interact with them? I didn’t know what to say to them bc I don’t know what I needed to hear back then, what I would’ve WANTED to hear? What would I have even listened to? They were almost entirely silent and looked out at the world with a hesitant curiosity, but would pull back so fast as soon as you tried to interact w them. Little to no eye contact, face hidden in hair, always looking down, following others until they could strike off on their own and just quietly explore. Intently focusing on drawing any chance they got. We did an art project and they hunched over their piece the entire time and wouldn’t let any of us see it in progress, refusing to look up or acknowledge us if we asked to see it or to know what it was. Idk. I barely interacted w them while they were with us for those few days bc I didn’t know how? It almost hurt to try? It was like looking back into a time machine and i didn’t know how to tell them that it does get better,,, I still don’t even know if where I am is better, some days feel so unsure that I don’t think I’ve made any progress at all. But seeing that kid, idk. I’ve come pretty far. And it DOES get better. Maybe it’s not the best now, or even that great at all, but it’s better. I wish I could’ve told them but I don’t think they’d have wanted to hear it anyway

#im a rambling sam #I’m in a weird place again since getting here for this season of work #idk maybe I’ve been in a weird place all year probably #I don’t think I’m that far from where I was at that age but I know I am there’s just still so much further to go #one day I think it’ll feel easier but maybe not today #I do love working w kids but I’m considering going into horticulture instead of outdoor education bc I don’t know if I can handle this #I can #but god I don’t know #in my heart I’m still that exact kid and she’s still in there so damn anxious and unsure and needing to observe the world and everyone in it #just to get some sense of understanding of just what the fuck is going on around here #but by the time I’ve gotten a good handle on what is going on everything is already so set in place and my place is outside the system and I #I don’t know how to step into it #sorry sorry I’m still rambling I’m having a weird day I probably just haven’t eaten nearly enough in the last few days and I’m about to #start teaching on my own this week which is terrifying and I can’t stop thinking abt that damn kid I wish they stayed longer I think #we probably would’ve gotten along #but groups only come here for a couple days and then go home which is v weird after having the same kids for 3 weeks for summer camp #idk life gets better and it gets worse and sometimes u grow into the world a little more but there’s still a mute child in your ribcage #little hands pressed up against ur ribs like laying a palm against a bus window #I put my hand over my sternum as if we could press our hands together thru time #when I was that age I used to pretend to have someone around me like an imaginary friend but usually it was a book character that I liked #and I’d talk to myself in my head like having a conversation and giving myself motivation and assurances from someone else to me #and now I’m here and I still talk to myself like that but without the imagined friend as a buffer I just talk to myself in my head #now I’m the imaginary friend for the little Sam that lives in my chest #when I talk to myself I’m talking to her #I’m giving her the assurance she needed back then #the assurance I still need now #I am here for her so I am here for myself #this is getting poetically nonsensical maybe it’s time for bed

Fuck I’m fully invested in this au now. Baby Sam naming Azazel the first time he ever meets him (disguised as a clerk in the grocery store) because Lucifer sees [his true face] and immediately warns Sam (knowledge is power & Sam deserves power) — freaking the fuck out of John and Azazel both.

#please please just imagine being John and doing some normal shopping with your weird creepy son who talks to things that aren’t there #and then suddenly he locks eyes with the random pimply teenager and says the name of one of the most powerful demons you’ve ever heard of #and before you can scold him for talking about these kinds of things in public said cashier narrows his eyes in something like confusion #and they turn fucking YELLOW #(and then smoke pours out of his mouth and he collapses before you can draw your weapon) #absolute pants shitting experience #ramsey barks #lucifer #sam #little 7-10yo Sam holding himself and talking like a king you are so important to me #imaginary friend au

I love The Forgotten Son, because Brigadier (tho he’s still a colonel when this is set) goes back to his home village, and realises he remembers basically none of his childhood, and the other soldier he’s with asks “did you have a traumatic childhood?” And Brig’s like “nope. Definitely not a traumatic childhood. I remember basically nothing but it must be because of something else”

Then the rest of the book proceeds to show that Brig did indeed have a traumatic childhood that slowly comes back to him

(Ofc, it’s the dr who universe, so the memory loss is alien stuff, but still)

#classic doctor who #brigadier lethbridge stewart #“I didn’t have a traumatic childhood #*vaguely remembers his village and knows he should have memories of places but just doesnt* #*finds a carving of his father’s initials and someone else’s’ and proceeds to have a nightmare unlocking past memories* #*proceeds to have a few memories resurface* #*his old friend also telling him other memories that he doesn’t remember but should* #*finds out he witnessed his brother die* (Also doesn’t remember having a brother - alien stuff) #(Also his dad died during the war - also also his mum became very religious and I daresay a bit distanced from Alistair because she got #trauma but it was the 40s so she got no help) #(also Alistair saw a ‘ghost’ as a kid and so did his brother James and Alistair slowly kinda lost his brother #(brother getting an ‘imaginary friend’ and becoming closed off etc)) #essentially finding out parts of his childhood made me go ‘omg if the great intelligence hadn’t fucked with your memory you totally would’v #repressed most of this because yeesh’ #but he’s the brigadier so he handles this all remarkably well #I say - pretending he didn’t basically kill a person out of anger for messing with his mum

situation song where its just retelling the events of yifc and its called "your imaginary friend 2"

your imaginary friend… TWO

#that would be cool. but neil would have to make that song #his hit song Your Imaginary Friend was the primary influence for the comic it only feels fair #also who the fuck else has made a song called your imaginary friend

[cosmikazie]

im so fucking tired of seeing arguments in favor of proshipping and “letting people have fun” there is literally nothing to say about it that makes it sound even remotely okay to me

#proshippers always tell anti-proshippers that ‘fiction is separate from reality’ #like theyre adults telling kids that their imaginary friends dont exist #when are you fuckers going to realize that thats not why we have problems with it #the problem with shipping adults with children is not because ‘it makes me feel bad :(‘ #its because its fucking weird to do that #youre free to deny how doing that says something about you all you want #but why the hell would you do that for any other reason #than precisely the reason we are all thinking of #this argument doesnt come from brainrot or delusions or anything like that #because i saw some asshole saying that #and let me tell you #what a douche way to discredit people against proshipping #i dont wanna see anyone for any reason give credit to that kind of shit ever again

i swear to god no one understands death in puss in boots like maybe i'm just morbid and think + care too much about death the concept in general but it's like come on people. even beyond my own weirdness i just feel like the way people... personify? death too much just does such a disservice to that whole arc in the movie in general

it's like. death is a CONCEPT. it's intangible. it doesn't have a personality. it doesn't have a body. it's just, something that happens. it's a natural phenomenon. i can't even say it's a nonsentient object, because like, a rock still has a tangible form. but death is literally just a concept it doesn't exist as something you can touch it is just something that happens. it's like, gravity, or the way the wind blows, like they're concepts. they undeniably shape the world but they're just events, things that happen, not any tangible or physical or living parts of the world itself.

so then isn't it so much, then, for someone to be so arrogant and full of hubris, that he pisses off an intangible idea, a concept, something that just happens, so badly that it takes on a tangible form just to fucking kill him?

by personifying death too much - by which i mean, acting like Death is an actual character with an actual personality, someone who is easily irritated and intrinsically violent - is both like, that's not what death lowercase is, but it also just takes away the pure punch of the whole concept of this arc in the movie. if death is just some actual guy and he's already so easily moved to anger and violence then puss isn't really like an exception yknow? but if you treat Death like lowercase death then it's like damn puss screwed up SO BADLY that he moved literally an ASPECT OF NATURE to such anger that it decided to smite him down prematurely. it's to show how badly puss screwed up!!!!! removing that removes so much of the power of his character growth. it's not about being forgiven by this one guy, it's about accepting and coming to peace with your own mortality, and learning to make the most of life in spite of it

#i gotta stop looking at puss in boots stuff sorry i get so frusrtated with this lolllllll #but i do also admit im weird about death lowercase in general anyway so #this isnt even getting into the meat of it all like with the way Death takes on the form of a wolf to hunt puss #all of it shaped by puss's psyche and fear #and how the way you think about death lowercase influences that etc etc etc #Death is death and death can be something you run away from in fear of your own mortality even as it inexorably chases you till the end #or death can be the soft exhale of someone's final breath as they pass surrounded by loved ones #or an old friend you meet glancingly throughout your life until you finally greet it at the end of your life #or an imaginary friend that keeps you company even through your darkest times #or a spector haunting the edges of your vision the corners of your mind even as you try to ignore it #its whatever you make of it !!! FUCK !!!! #brot posts

Absolutely bonkers that people will go to such extreme, and often inhumane and violent, lengths to defend their idea of this imaginary being in the sky. I'm sorry but 90% of religious people, both today and in the past, have completely lost the plot.

#in any other situation this kind of behaviour would have you diagnosed with schizophrenia or psychosis and you would get help for it #but call it God and suddenly it's normal and understandable #thinking about this shit would make me angry but it's also fucking hilarious like??? #grown ass people who are so dead serious about their imaginary friend that theyll literally humiliate torture and murder people for him #and the fact that the majority of the world believes in this bullshit and they just go about their daily lives acting like it's so #offensive if someone were to insult this being that they have no proof actually exists #the only things in this world that are above criticism are babies and animals #you can't tell someone that they don't have the right to question criticize or debate something you believe in #grow a fucking backbone and just be comfortable in your own beliefs if you're so confident that they're true #instead of acting like someone is a demon just cuz they don't agree with you

when I was around twelve I used to sit at the family computer and send hatemail to a white french dude named Jacques who was a self proclaimed communist on Tumblr. This was back in the day when you didn't need a blog to send anon hate. I had no real beef with him but I just didn't like his tone. used to send him "SHUT UP Jacques" periodically. and he'd answer every single one of my asks like "who is this?? show your face or I'll fucking kill you" and I'd be like "now now, that doesn't make sense, jacques" all haughty and he'd get so fucking mad at me. One time he posted a selfie and I sent him an ask claiming I was a psychologist and that his hair parting suggested that he wasn't a communist at all. and he took it deliriously serious and went off on a 2,000 word rant. I can remember going to stay at my grandparents over that weekend, so I didn't even respond to the rant until I came back. I could've chosen to end it there, but when I returned, I sent him another ask which was like "psychologist here again: if you were a communist your hair parting would be in the middle. evenly distributed. All behavioural signs point to someone who doesn't take their own values seriously." and he went ballistic. really swearing at me. all caps type beat. he never turned the asks off, btw. which always made me wonder if he didn't know how to, or if he didn't want to cause he was convinced he was fighting a war, and this action would ensure he lost it. anyway this went on for weeks until one day I completely forgot about him like he was some kind of childhood imaginary friend I'd conjured up in my loneliness. but yesterday I happened to recall the whole scenario, because my buddy was like "remember when you were twelve and I came over to your house, and you showed me on the computer how you'd been terrorizing this random French guy for days on end. And you were laughing like fucking crazy. and I said it wasn't funny because he probably had problems, and you were like 'oh.' and you looked a bit guilty for a second, but then you went and got a grapefruit from the kitchen and threw it out of the second story window at my kid brother, who was playing in the street, and then you started laughing again?" Well. when she put it like that, needless to say I felt bad. so Jacques if you're out there I'm sorry I was such a little shit. you had totally normal hair, and you only wanted people to share stuff. If it's any consolation I know every day of my life that I'm probably going to hell for the sick things I have done

how did i realise i was bi both so quickly and so slowly

#like #on the one hand #the moment i realised i was attracted to women (both times) i went: oh. bisexual. cool. fuck. now i'm oppressed. #and i wasn't like 'but i like boys and girls what could this possibly mean??' it was more. oh yeah no okay this logically has to be bisexua #and there was like wondering if there was split attraction in that (i don't think there is for me) but i was like. either way. there's #some non-platonic attraction for more than one gender #(also why i like bisexual bc i am bisexual and biromantic and i like saying that after coming to that conclusion #also i find it rolls off the tongue better than bi) #but GIRL #why did you get so excited to get this girl's phone number #better: why were you so desperate to get this girl's phone number #i know you were excluded and wanted to make friends but why these girls specifically #why did they make you feel like that #also the kiss dreams #like you have a dream where you make out with your friend in a dark closet. cool. subtle. #i think google said 'it could?? just be a friendship thing' so i ran with that but uh. i had a crush on her through my whole senior year #it was not just a friend thing #especially not given how much i liked it #also. why the dreaming about kissing an imaginary girl? which you also enjoyed? like. babe make it make sense #'yes i love watching glee s5 toxic and ikag but For The Outfits' are you kidding me #to be fair. never took an am i gay test. because i knew that was a common queer experience and I Was Not Queer #how come i knew that at such a young age? #there were. so many signs.
