including life-giving oxygen.

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility #but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion #that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone #i am an environmental educator #so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering #that people are going through #without doing my research and providing real ways to help #this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning #to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering #unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this #and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this #and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity #(complaining) #and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself #for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion #i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out #rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually. #my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free #is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY. #anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i #which is more than their CEOs can say

For those who are unsure of whether or not they really have the "sensitivity to cold" symptom of fibromyalgia, because you think that it's just you not being able to handle colder temperatures like other people, that's one way of putting it. The other way is, when it's winter and the temperatures start dropping, do you feel your pain more intensely? Do you feel like you have more problems with your joints? Is your partner always commenting how cold your fingers and toes are, but it somehow gets more frequent in winter? Those are other ways to consider being sensitive to the cold.

#just a little food for thought #I'm thinking bc I'm high af #I had to take an entire 50 mg gummy tonight because I had some serious fucking pain #I didn't realize it was going to be a consistent pattern of winter making me feel like shit #but here we are in year two of No Longer Ignoring My Symptoms #and I'm still questioning whether or not it's actually fibromyalgia #like I 100% definitively know what it is #I just still don't have the doctors sign off bc I hate phone calls and I'm getting new insurance next month #so I figure might as well wait to see if the new insurance covers any differently #things to look forward to with the new job #anyways I'm forever grateful I didn't have to jump through every stupid ass hoop my husband did when he went full time with my company #it's explicitly designed against people who aren't neurotypical and it's honestly the most bullshit program ever #no they don't give full time by merit in my company #I really only got the job because my file boss wanted me explicitly for her job when she retires #and I will be eternally grateful that she saw something in me that no other manager saw #anyways ignore all these tags anyone who reads this that found this in the fibromyalgia tag instead of my blog #fibromyalgia #>.> #kudos to those who read this far #your journey shall reward you with a small token of my gratitude #🐦‍⬛ a friend for you

I don't know anything about Team Fortress 2, I'm bad at FPS' and multiplayer games, but I watched Emesis Blue today and its. hm. spinning in my brain.

#the horror of it being never ending you think you finally have reached your end you are free #but no you are forced to come back again and again and AGAIN because you are no longer a man not a human YOU ARE COMPANY PROPERTY #and they will keep bringing you back to fight in an endless war to fill the bottomless pockets of a select few bastards #emesis blue #tf2 emesis blue

I’m reading the scripts for Yes Minister for attempted political inspiration and can’t stop imagining the culture shock of Tommy’s first few months in office.

#Weeping with horrified laughter but anyway #I don’t think he was ever given a portfolio in his first election tho when labour was in power #then after what had to have been his second election (labour no longer in power if my timing is right) he was deputy whip- #-so probably dodged a portfolio. That said given he was in America as part of a trade delegation #I have theorised he had some kind of shadow-economic portfolio after his second election because #deputy whips stay home they don’t go overseas. Unless he bullied his way into the delegation as a cover reason to be in the US- #-either bcos of the amount of trade/manufacture/the BSA in his constituency or as an SME advisory role due- #-to his business acumen. #this is the bullshit that occupies my mind I could be thinking of sodomy but instead I’m thinking of organisational logistics #Anyway if Tommy took an economic or trade portfolio the conflict of interest given the number of govn contracts he then ‘bought’ via his- #-holding companies should see that man in prison for decades; decades I tell you; the horror of what he has done #/tongue in cheek #Mannnnn the newspaper articles about him must have been so absolutely vile #I’ve always writ him as being madly triggered by reporters and think it all prob circles back to the absolute slagging he would’ve got- #-in right leaning newspapers. his baptism of fire in print and then the de-balling by civil servants. And pederast ministers hire him like- #-some lackey. Terrible idea politics.

thinking,,, would star pirates have star shanties ???? i think they'd probably be made by banging together anything on their ship (weapons, old machinery, etc etc), playing any instruments on hand, and just singing about literally anything ,,

#i want to explore star pirate culture more because theyre such a big part of the world #like piracy is so widespread that they dont really give a damn anymore #not 2 mention in the world of uktimate excalibur any unauthorised ship that doesnt belong to a naval company (or any company for that matter #is considered a pirate ship. a lot of quote un quote pirates dont actually pirate but a lot of them do ! #i already mentioned a while ago in the notes of a reblog that many pirates grow up on ships and never see any actual planets #i like to think that shear has never left his ship for longer than a month... #whole generations of families living and dying while travelling the whole galaxy #oc rambling #ultimate x-calibur

I think Soldier Love is off Spotify now. I told Spotify to hide the song from me, but I could still see the album cover and shit when I went to check and now it's gone entirely from their artist page. I was able to find a page for it by specifically searching 'spotify soldier love the rampage' on Google, but the song can't be played.

It is also no longer available on YouTube - I found the video by going through my history (because I left a comment on it re: ... everything) and the video is unlisted and unavailable.

Which - good call, wish you could've done that a liiiiiittle faster there, LDH.

#the rampage from exile tribe #rmpgfext #ldh's legal department is probably having a Fun Time Right Now #with the kororo contract #because the kororo ads with soldier love are still up on their youtube channel #could be they haven't come down yet #because it seems to be taking them a few days to get it all down #and i would not be surprised if they're negotiating with kororo regarding those ads #like goddamn that feels like a lot of departments got fucked over #well done ldh #pr/communications #legal #marketing #(seems to be swiveling from 16soul to 16pray as the album they're pushing - also now fighting an uphill battle to convince people to buy) #i would have started printing cds and lyric booklets as soon as the tracklist was in place with all songs recorded #or at the very least more than a month out from ship date #so anything printed in advance is no longer good #so whoever handles the publishing and distribution also got fucked over #i think the announcement of the delay came from ldh japan #because no other department or part of the company had the power to make that call #i think it also is like - look we're taking it seriously #we escalated the problem up the command chain #it's not just these idiots handling the problem #it is people with authority and power #we went 'we have a problem' #they went 'let me get the manager'

what do we have to do to get ch 8 earlier?

USUALLY it’s to have 35-40 unique commenters per chapter bc that’s what I’ve been getting for almost every chapter so far (some of them exceed! love you all hehehe ❤️❤️) but sometimes it’s a busy era and people don’t catch up for weeks at a time for instance and then do a multichapter binge (which is always fun!! love seeing people return)

when regular commenters like disappear their numbers are usually made up by either new commenters (ALWAYS SUCH A JOY TO SEE) or returning commenters who’ve been away for a while (ALSO ALWAYS DELIGHTS ME)

the reason why I wait for such numbers is because I wanna ensure the usual Amount of people are caught up w tvl!! so if you’ve left an anon that’s really good and means a lot to me and are SO appreciated and helpful to the tvl cause but at the same time I go by ao3 numbers -> my apologies if any of this sounds insane but I promise I genuinely am so grateful for anyone showing support for tvl and I do recognize how lucky I am to have any sort of readership at all

#ask #tvl #rn tvl ch7 is at 26 people!! #for reference I think ch6 is at 40/41 and that accumulated over the course of 2 weeks #YEAH CH6 -> 7 TOOK A WHILE #PARTLY BECAUSE OF CNY BUT I WAS ALLOWED TO TAKE LONGER BC OF THE NUMBERS… #I know im just one insane girl but its funny pretending that im a publishing company and unless the Numbers are up there the mean ceo (me) #won’t let the silly little writers (all me also me) publish their passion projects (more chapters of tvl) #anyway yeah since anon asked… im revealing the numbers in my head

i understand where people are coming from when they say spike was shitty to luigi but like i'm gonna be real i do not think he was a bad boss to luigi specifically 💀 i feel like people are ignoring how much more of a dick he was to mario than luigi honestly like i dont think they both quit solely because of how he treated luigi

#talk tag #not to say he was nice to luigi but like calling him an idiot vs grabbing mario and telling him he'll never amount to anything and throwing #-him to the floor #and like almost hitting him with his car and then grabbing him and yelling at HIM for 'almost denting his van' or whatever #in my heart m&l both worked for him but then luigi quit and mario stayed with the company for longer out of like. real winners DON'T quit #hashtag unhealthy work mindset and believing that if you work hard enough things will get better #mario is a character who is prone to overworking himself just trust me. luigi is much more of a real winners quit guy #anyways rambling aside all of this to say that spike was also probably bad to mario and i'm kind of annoyed of seeing so much of like #'they both quit because luigi was being treated poorly and mario is overprotective and luigi just would never have quit without him' #idk #i think i just have really specific characterization for them + i didnt even know luigi was playable in the wrecking crew series until like #very recently #so to me spike being a bad boss has always been a thing like. mario specific to me #my timeline is like 'they both work at wrecking crew' -> 'mario works at wrecking crew and luigi does a lot of freelance work' -> #'mario quits and they both start their plumbing company'

SPOILERS FOR THE HOLLOW BOY!

seeing the shift from lucy feeling comfortable, secured, and loved to the complete opposite is so heartbreaking. :(

#i personally don’t think holly has done anything wrong actually because her employment is very logical #the company would’ve slowly sunk the longer they went on without any management behind the scenes (management that lockwood especially does- #-not actively want to resist like barnes and deprac) #and honestly it makes it a bit worse KNOWING that the majority of lucy’s reactions were born out of insecurity #and that no one else in the story can seem to pick up on it (aside from the skull but he’s being a little shit) #lockwood and co #lucy carlyle #thoughts and prayers for my state of mind bc idk what this was #the hollow boy
