#social media is the worst

[your-heart-is-a-treasure]

Our world is becoming increasingly filled with distraction. Information moves faster, louder, and brighter than ever before. Entertainment, social media, and marketing have never been so prevalent. They beg for our attention and our focus. In so doing, our minds are diverted from more important work.

However, these distractions are easy to notice. After all, the battle plays out in front of us each day.

Far more detrimental to our lives are the subtle distractions that quietly surround us. They are not announced with blinking lights or beeping sounds. In fact, they have become so commonplace and ever-present, we hardly even notice their existence. But these distractions take residence in our mind and wreak havoc on our pursuits. And in the end, it keeps us from living our lives to its greatest potential.

I am so emotional for Kit right now. He is a human BEING. WITH FEELINGS.

If he wasn't ready to tell the world his sexuality then people needed to learn that he doesn't owe you ANYTHING. Not that he even needed to at any moment. He has said many times that he didn't feel the need to label himself.

Coming out is unique to everyone, and should be on the person's terms. This was not it. Plus he's only 18?! He's literally still a child. I really hope people learn from this and not be terrible people.

#heartstopper #kit connor #I'm just so mad for him #and so hurt #this was not it #social media is the worst #people feel they are entitled to a label #when they aren't #people are annoying

I joined Instagram for my exchange semester (lots of events get announced on there and other Erasmus students ask for mine and are easy to get in contact through Insta) and I hate it so much.

People I know, but haven‘t told about my account yet are suddenly asking to follow me. I know how it works and why, I also don’t really mind them following me, but I hate that people just… can find me with no effort of their own.

And it really does give me weird feelings. I posted two pics, none of them feature my face, and I find myself questioning whether they come off as weird or whatever.

One person asked to follow me who I was sort of friends with when I was about 10 or 11 and bullied in school. She wasn’t really a good friend, so I don’t really want any contact with her anymore. At the same time I like the idea of her seeing posts about what I‘m doing now as like a „Look at me now!“ thing.

It’s so so awful

#it scares me that I want to post more pics to show off what I‘m doing #i wanna go back to no insta at all #Social media is the worst

so i've been thinking about this premise for so long but it wasn't working for obikin (which of course i took as a challenge) and i think i finally got it where i want it so

au where 35 yo obi-wan is a music sensation across the world but he's recently divorced and going on tour again after releasing a very cutting, personal, and well-received album

and 19 yo anakin joins his tour with his very small band of two other people (ahsoka, padmé) to be his opening act - they have a small but loyal following, a pretty big social media presence, and there are even people who ship anakin and padmé which you know means these are die-hard fans

anakin has definitely looked up to obi-wan and his music for a good portion of his life and he's like. beyond excited that he's going to tour with The Obi-Wan Kenobi - this is big, not just for his music career but also for himself and the little boy he was listening to obi-wan's music for the first time!!

i'm just imagining like....obi-wan and anakin meeting after a few days of rehearsal for opening night, and it's not the most auspicious start because obi-wan's going through like 20 different emotions at any given moment (he's on tour, he's divorced, he's tired, he loves the music, he can't be the person he was in his twenties when he was first on tour but that's a whole different matter, he has all the media training and charismatic instinct to cover up these less than savory emotions with flirtatious empty words) and anakin is just like. sorta starstruck sorta shy sorta eager sorta awkward so:

"i'm uh, i'm a singer it's nice to meet you. hi yeah. hello. i'm on tour. as well. with you. actually." "ah no, are you one of my backing vocal artists? we can't have that - you're much too gorgeous and my ego is much too dependent on the audience focusing on me." "um 😳"

so it's a relationship that begins with a lot of flirting and being flustered and progresses through moments of vulnerability and honest emotion which turns into mutual affection which turns into anakin's celebrity crush becoming very real....meanwhile obi-wan googled anakin and the opening band after the first show/introduction and finds all the stuff about him and padmé being together and that's. that's fine. young love. how sweet. any sort of disappointment obi-wan feels is because he's recently divorced and bitter about it and he's going to have to spend at least half his tour watching the lovebirds snuggling up together.

and even when all the misunderstandings about relationship statuses have been addressed and the pretense has fallen away to leave just attraction, both have to think about their careers - it's all well and good for obi-wan to date someone sixteen years his junior, post divorce, but that's an image he's never wanted to deal with or be associated with. and this is the biggest shot of anakin's career - his best chance to make it in the music industry. in the words of his bandmate, is he really, honestly thinking about risking it for a chance to sleep with The Obi-Wan Kenobi?

but what his bandmate doesn't seem to really understand is that for anakin, obi-wan hasn't been The Obi-Wan Kenobi in a long time. he's just been obi-wan. and that makes a world of difference.

#kit's silly lil aus #obikin #my social media algorithm pulled me into music-tok but make it instagram reels lol #and then i watched the grammys last night #so i was like fine lets come back to this and figure out what's missing #so i know it basically sounds like what if firefighter au obi-wan was a little more jaded and less flirty #coupled with what if band au anakin opened for firefighter au obi-wan #but i'm seeing different nuances for the characters so i feel comfortable making this its own post #like. what if you met the person you were going to love forever at somehow #both the best time in the world for your career #and the worst time in the world for your personal life #etc etc #sorry for the long post i hope you can tell this is all i thought about on a 5k run today lol

dazai makes atsushi take random photos and videos of him throughout the day (most of them are super dramatic and/or aesthetic) only to caption them with the most unhinged stuff when he posts them on social media

#I need a canon compliant social media au #Dazai would liveblog every traumatic event happening to the ada #he would make web weaves with depressing af quotes about feeling inhumane but put a random selfie in between the quotes #my favorite tumblrina fr #he also would go live on tiktok during the worst moments #like hey guys! what’s up! *explosion in the background* oh that? that’s just my partner going full destruction chaos god mode ^_^ #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #dazai osamu #bsd fanart #bsd dazai #bsd #my art #poor atsushi should get a raise

bbc: Some sweet #Silvacre content for your FYP ❤️

#silvacre #suranne jones #rose leslie #vigil #the bbc making a silvacre fan edit was a pleasant surprise :) #i saw the streaming numbers for vigil 2 were very good (understatement) #which makes an s3 at least a possibility #if they can write a story suranne and rose would sign on for #i'm counting on what suranne said that the continuation of the love story is a big part of what brought her back #the series does a good job creating dramatic tension and conflict within a happy relationship that doesn't involve cheating or one dying #if they do a 3rd season i hope that continues #i mean the series started with amy in the worst possible place emotionally and psychologically so surely they wouldn't go there again #s2 with its wlw mlm solidarity/parallel storyline and giving us more insight into amy and how far she's come since s1 #on top of all the other things i liked this season (which i enjoyed quite a bit in addition to the ship) #at heart it's very critical of the british government and military/war machine and some reviews seem to have missed that part #anyway i'm pleased as punch that a prestige bbc drama has two women in love at its center and a lead as compelling as amy #and that it's pulling in the numbers even without the submarine and claustrophobia (admittedly a cool premise) #keep making the fanvids bbc social media team we appreciate you #queue

Saw this comment on Twitter tonight and I am absolutely livid right now. If you think RPF or shipping Michael and David is a bigger problem than someone concern trolling/fat-shaming Michael--who has previously talked about struggling with his confidence--and in a reply to his own comment where he is tagged, no fucking less, then you need to get your priorities in order. This is absolutely despicable and I cannot for the life of me understand how someone would think it is acceptable to say this to Michael...

#michael sheen #welsh seduction machine #and thin =/= healthy either #about ready to set fire to the rain right now #twitter is the actual worst #it is the Florida of social media #this is more disrespectful than RPF could ever be #like what actually is wrong with you #i can't even with this nonsense #i hope Michael doesn't see that comment #or if he does that he doesn't take it to heart #fandom woes

Do you ever just become overwhelmingly cognizant of the existence of evil in the world?

Like, not as a cute, devil-emoji 😈 i'm-so-naughty-i-steal-chocolate-cake-and-do-weird-sex-acts thing, nor still as a melodramatic, comic-bookish, high-absorptivity-black-fabric, soon-my-death-ray-will-destroy-Metropolis thing, but like.

Actual Evil, as a force that is real and immanent in the world.

Just pointless cruelty inflicted pointlessly by one human being upon another because they've forgotten how to be kind. Just entire systems and machinery of state and ideology brought to bear on the problem of annihilating human lives and maximizing human suffering so that small men can feel powerful. Just humans who have through trauma or conditioning or propaganda shut off their ability to see other humans as fundamentally like them.

Anyways, I joke on here a lot. I get angry on here a lot. They're both just scabs to hide my horror and my despair at the condition of humanity.

Your regularly scheduled programming will return shortly.

#i've watched this entire genocide play out over social media; i've followed the news for decades beforehand #none of it ever really affected me in any way but outrage #but i watched just some of that 'bulldozer' video and it gave me the worst panic attack that i've had in years #like i had no idea that that well of despair was as deep as it turned out to be #what kind of people do that? #what kind of systems make people who do that? #do they go home afterwards? do they drink and laugh with their buddies? #do they look at themselves in the mirror every day for the rest of their lives? #do they ever feel even the smallest *particle* of sorrow? even the smallest quantum of disgust at what they've become? #do they have enough of a soul left to feel even the smallest corpuscle of guilt?

a productive all-nighter starts by making a clear to do list & getting to work spending an hour or so searching for the music that hits the vibe just right

#it’s important #for the morale #but I found a new band I rly rly like so it wasn’t time wasted (best thing for morale) #tho they have only 4 songs so far so can’t fill the whole night with just that #but it can fill The Void so it's a start #(love finding bands that are like somewhat new instead of my usual ''omg I love this band'' 'only to find out they disbanded years ago) #(after deleting other social media apps I've been spending way too long times browsing Spotify but at least it's bringing me joy) #(except why THE FUCK are they trying to bring short-form content there also?? I refuse that's the worst way to find music) #also don't ask me why I'm doing an all-nighter ik I do these way too often it's great (sarcasm) #i'm dumb and been too anxious the past days so haven't done shit and now am in deep trouble #but luckily for me the anxiety turned today to the ''I'll never sleep so time goes by slower''-mode #instead the usual ''will have billion naps as a form of escapism'' which sucks ass #april 2024 #2024

Disco Elysium is a dress up game. To me.

#disco elysium #harry du bois #I finished this in February and forgot to upload it but shhhh #I have the worst social media presence of any artist everrrr

[pansyfemme]

i think i may hate instagram the most out of all the social medias i use its so fucking boring i cant stay on there for more than 5 minutes. thats probably a good thing but like if it wasnt for it being the most reliable for following irl friends (and a lot of visual artists i like) i would never use that fucking app it puts me to sleep

#all the ‘meme pages’ are so unfunny and 100% stolen shit #i never want to look at that discover or reels page ever. i like mostly use it as a messaging app lmao #i post there but mostly when i have something 2 say to irls #or art. bc it is good for art to a point #tiktok has the worst content by far but i like the vegan cooking video and art supply reviews so i stick around #its just that that stupid fucking app would rather show me infurating garbage than the content i activly search out #tumblr i like the most obviously. best sense of humor. most like minded people. #my usage is a bit much i agree but like idk. other social medias make me feel like i am being deprived of all happiness and this doesnt do #that at the very least
