Happy Halloween. The most horrifying part of today was when me, a person who hates eye trauma and anything related to eye injuries, rubbed my eye too hard and gave myself a subconjunctival hemorrhage. I can't look in the mirror without wanting to scream.

#for those who dont want to google it #a subconjunctival hemorrhage occurs when the blood vessels in your eye burst and the white of your eye turns red with loose blood #its not life threatening nor sight importing nor painful #but i have to wait for it to go away on its own #which means looking at that eye makes me physically nauseous #not tf #my ramblings

thinking of making a reader + kagami but instead of being insane and weird, it's just insane, and i, the reader, am one of his teachers when he was so so so sad in america when he first moved and i'm trying to give him opportunities to make friends in class and helping him with his english as best as i can given that i don't speak any japanese. but i get on google translate and i TRY because i'm a teacher and this is what i do

#baby kagami makes me cry every time i think about him #plus i used to be a teacher and he reminds me of kids who hardly spoke any english and would get really frustrated and upset really easily #and then be labelled by stupid idiot teachers as 'problem kids' and instead of being stupid myself i would just crack open google translate #it wasn't perfect but given that we had ZEROOOO tools for that kind of thing it was the best i could do #and given that i would have like 8 kids to look after of my own sob #i miss those days and i miss those kids #anyway people can do whatever they want i just dont like reader x or reader + SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY #kagami

some wealthy snezhnayans put floral fragrance in their ink "as a way of injecting a little romance into their writing"?

ngl this is so sweet

...........what if childe writes letters with this type of ink......to zhongli, when hes in snezhnaya or out on mission; or zhongli does so, in snezhnayan fashion- giving childe the chance to smell the kind of flowers he always smells of which makes childe miss liyue and him--

#genshin spoilers #for those who havent done yelans story quest yet #i like imagining childe and zhongli exchanging letters; i even started doodling a small comic about this and a misunderstanding a while ago #bc i just find the idea so nice and sweet ajcbk #totally not bc i also wanted to work on smth bigger again for pixiv; preferably with some story ajkbajkscb #but i guess i could add the ink thing as a sweet little detail akljcn <3 #myountalk #own #genshin tag #tbd #i know romance is not really meant in this way here but in the other way like in the arts and literature #longing for smth #(idk how to describe it in english i lack the vocabulary and dont wanna google translate my whole sentences) #thats at least what i thought how it is meant #akljsckb

what sites for music download do you recommend? Im curious :0

slsk is really all you need. it goes by muchhh quicker than rar downloads, just for not needing to spend the extra time extracting, and a lot of blogspot links are dead or sketchy anyway.

BUT going thru old blogspots is fun in its own right so if youre totally new to downloading vkei, id start with chaotic-dix 🙏

#@s-tandingsex has a handy list of some good vkei blogspots if you really wanted to go down that route #but googling 'neurotic doll download' or whoever is just as effective #also search engines cant work with plus signs so kc+loid marry+an+blood d+ress etc you need to look for via album name #i mean. well. search engines dont work with any vkei name with funky characters so those u just gotta. stumble upon. i guess #AND not everything is even up on slsk obviously so if u really wanna buy a cd or cassette id look on discogs jp.mercari or yahoo auctions #AND if you really cant find a band just like ask someone 😩😩 i guarantee anyone who isnt a trader will be more than happy to send u rips

people (mostly on twitter) are pissing me off so much with the "its reddit, who cares"

like, its not a social media, its a collection of forums, if you hate certain subs for their politics or opinions, dont visit those (you control the buttons you press or whatever)

meanwhile were about to lose so much information about niche hobbies and interests,

and these are the same people who were complaining last week that you cant find anything on google without adding "reddit" at the end,

are you fucking stupid, do you want to have to look through unrelated blogs and ai generated/pay walled quora answers everytime you need technical assistance or wanna talk about a hobby? is that what you want?

y/n: wait

y/n: you don’t care?

charles <3: Nope, I thought the whole flirting thing (the comments etc) was just a joke between friends, yk. At first I was a little confused, to be honest, since we don't usually joke like that, but I figured it was just the way you interact with people you feel more comfortable with!

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

I think Hobie brown is the one character I've seen written completely out of character the most

Like, he would NOT say that

He definitely is. I see people write Miles and Gwen as spot on (pun unintended). Miguel and Pavitr are usually butchered for linguistics reasons

But with Hobie, him being a punk - one from a very specific time - adds a whole new layer of difficultly and honestly. At this point, I can't even blame people.

I think Hobie's mischaracterization is caused by two primary things, one purposeful, and one not. Please allow me to rant.

Hobie Brown, Mischaracterization, and the Sanitization of Punk Culture

I think Hobie's characterization is the perfect example of the way media purposely deminished and trivialized the punk identity in order to erase it's political connotations.

In other words, people misunderstanding Hobie shows how the media warped and censored the definition of 'punk' in the last 50 years.

And that's on purpose.

Let's take the hippies for an example. When you think of them, what beliefs comes to mind?

Peacefulness, usually. Pot smoking. Music loving. And Anti-war. They love peace. The phrase 'Make Love, Not War' make come to mind.

But it's easier for the media to historically display hippies as people who were opposed to war - rather than people who were openly oppossed to the Vietnamese War.

As in, they weren't just opposed to war - which they were. They were also specifically opposed to the United States government crossing borders in order to push a capitalist agenda in Vietnam.

It's easy to say hippes loved communes - then to say 'Hippies were Communist'. With a couple words switched around - sanitization.

Punk is just like that.

It's easier to focus on the response rather than the source. It's easier to look at Hobie singing than to consider what he'd be singing about in those songs.

I feel like in the past 50 years the media has purposely centered the outrage of punk around music - as a targeted distraction, and a method of silencing. This goes from the outward hatred of Sex Pistols - to a President's wife literally taking a metal band to court in order to get the 'Explicit Content label' instated for the first time.(crazyyyy long story- crazy interesting. Google 'Mary Gore vs Twister Sister' - the videos of the band in court is hilarious)

But anyway the outrage of punk music in specific and the silencing of the message behind it kinda changed the way people viewed punks.

Media very much wanted to make punk something about senseless rebellion towards everything, the same way they tried to turn anarchy into 'unending chaos that never stops', when neither of those things are true.

Basically saying 'Oh, those people over there? They aren't angry oppressed people screaming and forming a community based around resilience, those are teeennagerrs. theyre just screaming cause theyre mad at their dads or something PLEASE dont look at them PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT CHECK IF WE'RE TELLING THE TRUTH'

And so people are presented with someone like Hobie, they see the loud music, but not picking up what he's saying if you get my drift.

And the other thing I'll try to keep short.

It's not purposeful, but I think it matters.

The Internet - Subculture vs Aesthetic

I don't think this is something that's been talked about yet.

But I feel like a lot of people misunderstand what a subculture is. So when they see Hobie, they see fashion, and music taste, and attitude. They instead perceive him as an aesthetic. Not someone who participates in subculture.

Subculture is a way of life. It encompasses not only your fashion and music tastes, but it can and usually extends to things like your morals, your behaviors, the spaces you exist in, etc.

Goth, Punk, Vegans, hell - even Nudists - are all subcultures. Because they effects the persons lifestyle. Subcultures are lifestyles.

Aesthetics are not.

An aesthetic is a (usually) visual ambience that is meant to evoke a specific emotion.

Aesthetics can extend to fashion, decor, and music taste - but not your morality or behavior.

E-girls, Emos, Hipsters, what have you - all aesthetics as they do not encompass morals, or behaviors.

And because of that - there are things that do or don't make you a punk. But there aren't really things that do or don't 'make you emo'.

Aesthetics don't have conditions, but subcultures do.

You have to be anti-government to be punk. You don't have to hate your life to be emo.

(Which is why when people bring this up, people are quick to call 'gatekeeping!' Because in the context of aethetics gatekeeping is seen as unneccesary, whereas in subcultures 'gatekeping' is more so protecting the underlying beliefs and motivations of the movement. People who see Hobie as an aesthetic will find these conditions odd because they're not seeing his punkness as a subculture.)

Today on the internet, it's a lot more common and easy to engage in an aesthetic. It's not uncommon for someone to purposefully pick an aesthetic - and go all out - simply because they like it. It's great. I engage with an aesthetic all the time.

But because of that, when people see Hobie it's easy to immediately be like 'oh okay hes doing it out of fashion hes doing it because he vibes with it cool.'

They look at Hobie the way they would look at an eboy (do those still exist).

______________________________________________

Sooo mixing the censored image of a punk along with the modern-day instinct to perceive something as an aesthetic rather than a way of life kinda causes.....this.

A Hobie tag were a lot of people completely misunderstand who he is as a person and his motivations as a superhero outside of 'I hate the establishment'.

Plus add in a dash of people just being totally blank on 70's politics. The Vietnam War, Margaret Thatcher coming to power, the IRA, etc. - all of those things I think tells us a lot about Hobie. I'm currently on a piece about that and an explainer of most of those events. Or if you want a brief rundown please feel free to ask, I'll do my best.

If you wanna know Hobie more - don't listen to punk music. Go read the lyrics, if you get what I mean. They truly do have something to say.

Hope this made some sense, thanks for reading if you made it this far :) also no proofread we die like kings but ill most likely do it later and delete this note.
