Completely random question but what do you think about the male loneliness epidemic?

I think it is valid to discuss men's issues but from what I've seen is literally men holding onto toxic masculinity and traditional gender roles that they resent and actively harms them while refusing positive changes that could create an impact while wanting women to do something about it.

I think men have every right to discuss their own issues while not expecting women to solve it for them or looking inward on how the biggest perpetuation of the rigid gender expectations for men is by other men. The answer to the loneliness epidemic isn't easy pussy or a girlfriend. Most women are socially expected to be accommodating, emotionally sensitive, and internalize their problems to avoid causing trouble for others around them. The most isolated and unwell women can act out and externalize their issues, but when they kill or harm others it's typically themselves or people closest to them; this is horrific and these women shouldn't do this obviously, but it's a different kind of horrific act from the way many of the most isolated and unstable men will be much more likely to kill and harm total strangers (ie. The majority of serial killers and mass shooters).

I also think that men who only bring up the male loneliness epidemic when complaining about how feminist cunts are ruining what it means to be a man should contribute to the growing male suicide epidemic, because they don't actually care about the men they're using as a cudgel and a gotcha to complain about women having more agency and the ability to say no. If you think women are inferior, then solve this problem yourself. If you think women are equals in terms of social intelligence and emotional regulation to men, then maybe you can try to emulate the way we've coped with loneliness and form community. After decades of being mocked about dying alone surrounded by boxed wine and cats, plenty of women are realizing that's a better prospect than putting up with the modern dating scene. Maybe men can find a way to cope with loneliness the way we have, foster a sense of community, etc.

It doesn't help that the communities that get the most notoriety among men are sex traffickers like Andrew Tate, closeted gay misogynists who harbor pedophiles like Nick Fuentes, coked out child neglecters like Rekieta, and incel forums where they commiserate and feed their own delusions about how interpersonal relationships work. Internet Daddies will never fulfill the social need that men and boys are wanting and the sooner they realize that the better. The same goes for the parasocial relationships with women like Vtubers, idols, Twitch tiddy streamers, and Only fans thots. They're paying for a delusion and a fantasy that's as real as a credit card statement and it goes to show that women are just as capable of grifting off male loneliness as other men.

TLDR: I feel bad for the men and boys genuinely trying to escape the crabs in a bucket mentality that is male socialization, but the majority of guys bemoaning the male loneliness EpIdEMic are the crabs pulling others back into the bucket and should boil themselves

#again im not offering detailed solutions because its not my job and not my problem lol #i feel bad for isolated men but considering how way too many of them view pity as attraction #and how many incels and chronically lonely men dont even bother having empathy or sympathy for women? #its very measured pity and sympathy bc i know how theyd be if the roles were reversed. #sloot bitches about things #sloot's essays

Sometimes I think about how long some of you all have been following me and I'm like wow, ya'll really like watching this clown.

#i know so many of ya'll by icon especially since I'm a visiual learner #I'm honestly very lucky to have attracted so many nice and cool and interesting as hell folks #i don't wanna sound like cliché or anything just like #even if I can't respond every the time know that I do really appreciate you all taking the time to be kind to me and show me things #and ask me stuff like #tumblrs always been my safe spece online #especially since this blog was made cause I had to avoid a stalker #and it's grown into this place where like #i love hearing what you guy have to say and show me things #I live alone and work a lot (and have been on tumblr more due to a lot of irl drama I can't get into yet) #and if any of ya'll are like gone for a while I will be like 'I hope ___ is doing ok' cause I do notice ;-; #so many of ya'll have been just so willing to be kind to me or let me vent to you privately or educate me about stuff #led me in the right direction and offer help #like the kindness goes both ways and I think that's really special #i might remove this later cause I get shy sharing but ahhhhhh #thank you all so so so much #it's been a rough as week #and a rough few years #so I'm just really thankful to you all ;;;;;;

[aroanthy]

hi!! i know u talk a lot about aromanticism a lot on here, but i don’t think i’ve ever seen u talk about aromantic anthy. would u mind discussing/elaborating on it or linking to a post where u do because i’m very curious!!

i got a similar ask half a year ago or something ridiculous like that on my main blog, but i’d like to really do justice to my url right now and explain it in more concrete terms.

i will say, it’s important to bear in mind that this reading of anthy’s character is very much informed by my own experiences, and a lot of those experiences are ones im not keen to talk in depth about. but you know. let’s make some nebulous gestures towards ideas of being traumatised, being autistic, struggling to meaningfully connect with others and honestly not really wanting to do such because of how they treat you.

like ive previously said, an aromantic perspective on the world would, i think, really benefit anthy. when youve lived your whole life experiencing violence at the hands of these patriarchal structures, of which romance is absolutely one, it’s kinda like. damn. im uncomfortable buying into those ideas.

anthy also has this lovely line in ep 19 where she says to utena ‘romance either happens or it doesn’t’ and it’s just sooooooo. so very interesting to me, actually, that anthy would say something so black and white about ‘romance’, a topic that anthy knows better than a lot of rgu characters is hopelessly confused and arbitrary and often enabling violence. and utena (fellow aromantic gaybo) says 'yeah, i know, but...'. these simplifications, these elisions. what is and isn't articulated. but what? maybe things are much more complicated than we'd like to think.

anyway enough of that tangent. one thing i as a trans and aromantic person always return to when discussing trans and aromantic readings of characters/texts more broadly is that there's no singular piece of evidence that can really cement these readings as Undeniable. it's like. okay. there's a critique of romance as a patriarchal structure in revolutionary girl utena. there's an ambiguity about anthy's feelings towards characters like utena, where there is clearly a queer connection but it takes shape in unconventional and complex ways. me, i'm aromantic, i see all of these pieces and i go oh well that's because she's an aromantic lesbian. you know, there's plenty of little moments i can evidence but those moments can be used to argue for an alloromantic lesbian anthy too. romance is a very arbitrary thing and i think everyone should take their own approach to it unapologetically. of course, mine is that it's hellish and i want nothing to do with it, but im just one guy. and im okay with that. i feel strongly about this reading and it is personal, and id be dishonest to say otherwise, but i do also find that it's well-evidenced in the text. as one of my lecturers once said, don't worry about authorial intent, it isn't real <3

#and authorial intent is NOT real i really cant emphasise that one enough #like it's fun to engage with the stuff a writer/director/whoever thinks about their art #and it can be very useful #but it's not definitive. that's not the last word on the topic #like did be papas consciously write any rgu character as aromantic? idk probably not #but i find such powerful aromantic narratives and themes coming through in this show #in how it chooses to examine relationships and power dynamics and the pervasive nature of romance as a concept #how it is so easily unequal how it is DESIGNED to be unequal how it offers chivalry and safety to mitigate harm #which it directly enables. makes easier #and that doesnt mean that aromanticism is the only solution bc you know. some ppl do feel romantic attraction #but it's like ok let's rethink 'romance'. let's combat amatonormativity let's challenge the relationship hierarchy that privileges #families and romantic partners in such a dangerous dangerous way #and i see all of that in this show and it resonates so deeply with my experiences many of which pertain to aromanticism #and you know. this show made me accept that im aromantic. so i think that speaks to how strongly these themes come through #but i digress. i find it hard to talk about this stuff bc its deeply personal and quite arbitrary #and also every time i do someone sends me anon hate about how i hate gay people. which is so cool btw please keep doing that #i didnt realise that loving being gay and loving gay people and loving when gay people love each other made me homophobic /s #just to clarify for the second time that is all sarcasm im gay and aromantic and i dont have time for arophobia here #anywayyyyy #im aware of all the asks ppl have sent me. im working on it i prommy <3 #dais.txt #dais talks aspec

A crack poll for you.

We all know Pat and Pran love a bit of role-playing...and that they would definitely role-play Tinn and Charn after watching Laws of Attraction (because Paa made them watch ep 1 and then they couldn't resist finishing the whole series), as @grapejuicegay and then @dimplesandfierceeyes said in our dms:

...but what came first?

Did A) Pat and Pran have their bench moment before seeing Tinn and Charn do the same in Laws of Attraction, thus spurring them on from the occasional "you look just like Charn, Pran!" banter to full out bad-lawyer/good-guy sexy role-playing?

Or B) After watching Tinn and Charn in Laws of Attraction, Pran decided to imitate Charn to comfort Pat on the bench during lunch as part of their casual everyday roleplaying of their favourite tv couple?

#bad buddy #laws of attraction #bad buddy the series #laws of attraction the series #a very important poll #also everyone is absolutely welcome to offer their own patpran / charntinn headcanons

#this article is so thought provoking. 'listen to sex workers' okay but the sex workers are hating on jakey. #realised why this article feels so refreshing to me #andi think its many things including the polyvocality #but it also just. doesnt bring desire into the equation at all #let alone attraction. the conflation of which with desire is already a huge problem when talking abt women #but like atp feminism has like failed to know what to do w the concept of desire #as a result this article doesnt really have any room for lesbians (unless they r selling sex to men) but its interviews w sex workers so #i both get why it doesnt and yet it feels like a very pressing absence. #really interesting 4 the ppl where it took being paid for sex to realise that men dont really have anything to offer them #and to just like..de-exceptionalise the concept of male desire #as like an addendum to 2nd wave criticism of romance. like if you conceive of sex as something worth money #what are you actually recieving in exchange for it in a 'romance'

im so into the federation / resistance as a hunger games snow / coin type thing . with the fuller context we have as the audience, the resistance is already sus, but i wanna see those cracks expand and deepen until they’re completely unavoidable and obvious

#qsmp #also i just wanna get more resistance lore tbh #how were they formed who are their current members who are their leaders #jay rambles #the resistance is such an attractive thing to join at the minute bc it’s the first concrete thing offering itself as Anti Federation #like the islanders have formed their own groups before but this is the first Official thing #and while etoiles and fit are still somewhat cautious of them i wanna see things progress to a point where it’s like #‘oh the resistance isn’t very good either’ and the choices that’ll come from that #whether they’ll choose to stay with the resistance or leave and do their own thing or leave en masse and form a new group

sometimes i want to reach all the way across multiple oceans and gently grab the faces of people i know and whisper with immense care and a will of steel

if you are not running a gimmick blog nor trying to run a small business

post what you want

post what makes you happy

fling yourself between interests

talk about whatever

share your fan writing! share your original writing!

if people leave to go elsewhere that is fine! normal even! more people may stick around than expected!!

take up space in your own enclosures please i beg of you

#also adding very seriously: rid yourself of the burden of giving a shit about numbers when it comes to work you're just doing for you #it's For You #putting it out there for other people to look at is offering a gift but people might not want it for some reason or other #meanwhile others will start frothing at the mouth and may hand you back a gift in future or just scream with joy for hours on end #be yourselves be real #earnest engagement attracts earnest engagement #play!!! be free!!!!!!!

Warning- this is a very petty post, but I think I'm entitled to at least one petty, pissed-off reaction every time I finish a classic novel that hit harder than I expected so take this as my quota for the year.

Also spoiler warning for a book that came out over a century ago but still, I didn't know the plot going in so don't want to ruin it for anyone else, if you haven't read it shut your eyes. (Also Local Tumblr User Going Wild Over Book Published a Hundred Years Ago That Everybody Else Already Read should probably be categorised as akey part of indigenous tumblr culture at this point).

Anyway I just finished the War of the Worlds and in between studying I've thinking about Themes and Motifs as you do, and idly looking for further analysis. I then accidentally ran into an article called 'A Quiet Place II Succeeds Where the War of the Worlds Failed' and:

Now I haven't seen any of the Quiet Place films, this is not a rant against them and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But re: the ending of The War of the Worlds, I have to ask, did this guy somehow miss, uh, the entire point of the book or am I just utterly insane?

#You're right it's not very satisfying for humanity that the invaders are foiled by a bacteria and not human action! Maybe that's the point! #Maybe it's supposed to be FRIGHTENING and make you ask questions about what humans will do under extreme stress #Not be a morally uplifting tale about Humanity Heroically Defeating the Martians in a Glorious Hollywood Ending #Maybe it's MEANT to be unsatisfying because this is not a straightforward fairytale #I mean I've only read it once and don't know much about Wells' work so I might have misunderstood the point of the book too #But at places it is a very pessimistic view of the human condition and that's partly WHY IT'S SO POWERFUL #That doesn't mean there aren't moments of individual acts of heroism (the Thunderchild for example) #But the question is not just 'how will humanity beat the Martians and prove that we're still the masters of the universe' #Rather 'a) why is humanity so confident that it's ultimately in control of its own destiny #And b) here's lots of scenes of societal collapse and of people pushed to the brink and what would YOU do in those circumstances? #Would YOU feel remorse about silencing the curate even if it did lead to his death? #What if it rather than a foolish adult it had been a small child? #And even if they were weak did they DESERVE it? Yes it might have been necessary but should it be policy going forward? #Would you also be attracted briefly by the certainties that the artilleryman's (rather fascist) plan seems to offer so humanity survives? #But what sort of humanity would that be if it DID survive and is it worth it? The narrator feels he needs to justify the curate's death #The artilleryman would have probably never have thought it was anything OTHER than justifiable or indeed laudable #Under strain and stress would you start to turn against even your loved ones and become brutal? #Is that the only hope for human survival beyond complete surrender? And was the destruction of London maybe even 'cleansing' #In the eugenics sense or in the sense of a natural horror of dirt and germs? #And the vast exodus of six million people fleeing headlong in panic - we might not have seen that exact phenomenon #But didn't the twentieth century subsequently go on to show us unprecedented scale of slaughter and refugee movements and communal strife? #At the end of the day what really separates humanity from other animals? And what separates us from the Martians? #It's not an uncontroversial book- it was written over a hundred years ago for goodness sake and there are questions worth asking #about the way imperialism and arguments about eugenics and population control and all sorts of other dodgy areas operated on Wells' mind #But dear God I really don't think the problem with the book is that 'Humanity didn't save the day!' #Unsatisfying ending? Yes. A FAILURE? No not in my opinion- looks like it was exactly what Wells set out to do #Humanity didn't win the war of the worlds they had a narrow escape and though it might not be martians next time #Why wouldn't disaster return in the future? Sure we've studied their flying machines and even preserved a martian in a jar #But for all our science what have we ACTUALLY learned that will enable us to avert future human catastrophes? Ethically or socially? #Alright rant over- as usual my opinion is not universal nor necessarily well-informed this take just really got my goat

everyone James potter has had a crush on:

frank longbottom

rolanda hooch

marlene mckinnon

amos diggory

remus lupin

emmeline vance

lily evans

gilderoy lockhart

mary macdonald

ted tonks

regulus black

harrison ford

mark hamill

carrie fisher

#gonna do this with everyone #frank and hooch was more of an admiring crush. like he had a crush cause they were nice and talented in things he cared about #marlene's was more confusing friendship for a crush. they're such good friends and he knew he loved her but got confused in which way #amos was a very strong crush. i feel like james tried asking him on a date but amos is straight and it probably didn't end well #had a crush for a while. i mean remus is very attractive in a non conventional way. james definitely kept the crush a secret from sirius #went on a date with emmeline as they both (thought) they liked each other but emmeline lightly turned down the offer of a second date #ofc he has a crush in lily. very much in love #james kissed gilderoy. he did. we all know it. but gilderoy probably spread rumours about them doing more or just of james' friends #so james' crush very much went away after that #i feel like he had a crush on mary more in the earlier hogwarts years but mary never knew about it and james never did anything about it #he so giggles and stammers whenever he comes with sirius to see andy and ted #ofc he has a crush on regulus. very much in love #amd finally he's a bisexual star wars fan. definitely has a crush on the main three. no one can argue with that #marauders era #marauders #james potter #james potter headcanons

I feel the need to Do Some Drugs about my relationship with my dreams and my subconscious mind, my relationship with the concepts of love and affection and attraction, and whether or not I actually feel any of those things or if I'm just objectifying men because I want to look like them 💀

#the attractions i do feel are increasingly weak and fade like cheap fast fashion #some days i am a mushy blob of pining and yearning and some days i am repulsed by the very thought of any kind of intimacy #some days i am comforted by my own unattractiveness cuz it means I'm very rarely in a position to refuse offers of sex or intimacy #i don't get offers. i never really did. and sometimes I'm grateful for that #other times i feel like i need to be Desired or i am going to perish. #and like. I'm about to be a lot more Visible in general and it's #it's fucking with me
