We live in the dumbest, lamest cyberpunk dystopia possible.

So LA has been — and continues to — protest against ICE. These protests haven’t gotten any smaller or lost any momentum, but social media wasn’t reflecting it.

TikTok users, realizing that the platform/other social media are censoring/deleting/shadowbanning these protest videos, decided to find a workaround.

They’re calling it the LA Music Festival. Ice detention centers and other protest locations are “stages.” The hottest band is Rage Against the Machine. “Here’s what gear you should be bringing to stay safe at the LA Music Festival.”

And it fucking worked.

TikTok has become a proving ground for a lot of new music, meaning lots of labels and organizations have lucrative deals with TikTok to promote their new artists and music festivals. So they absolutely cannot censor the words “music festival” or train the algorithm to ignore it, or they risk endangering that very important revenue.

So now protest videos are flooding feeds again, but it’s the LA 24/7 Music Festival. Truly an incredible timeline we’ve landed in.

Reminded by flag discourse about my proposal for a new Massachusetts state flag. The looming black triangle represents the creeping dread one experiences in Massachusetts, the white represents the horrible weather, the blue represents microplastics, and the slogan represents I saw it on a pack of cigs and thought it sounded sick

being an adult and watching others succeed because they have stable relationships with their families can actually be so demoralizing, because while they were experiencing growing up you were only surviving

same guy that was thinking about krusie in the context of soul-as-disassociated-self.

snowgrave/weird route is probably the strongest indicator of soul-as-parasite but the idea of like, being kris' capacity to do harm and manipulate is entrancing on its own.

Nobody is getting that you're being genuinely awful, if not completely evil. Only you see what you're committing, seemingly on autopilot. You don't know "why" either. You hate this and yourself, and they'd hate you if they could just put the shape of your sins together. How do you stop? (you don't know how). All you've got is self-flagellation, because at this rate you deserve it. You keep harming others all the while, and thus you are awful.

honestly i think you can read even the weird route as a representation of some of the more complex, less sympathetic experiences of being an abuse victim with dissociative tendencies that being under that kind of stress only makes attempting to cope with significantly more frustrating and painful. and i don't mean that in some kind of horrifically ableist "evil split personality" way. nor do i mean to suggest that it lets the player off the hook for taking any responsibility entirely - the impulses may be kris', but you're the one who enables their decisions, and chooses which direction you want them to play out in. if you pursue the weird route, the game and kris give you - outright beg you to take, even - many opportunities to turn back before you push beyond the point of no return.

however, kris doesn't know they're a character in a video game. from their perspective, it's as if their intrusive thoughts and destructive urges they've attempted to repress are translated to action through a will stronger than their ability to deny it, satisfying a guilty curiosity even as another part of them is horrified and disgusted by them. which, speaking from my own experience, is very accurate to how it sometimes feels when you've been so viciously mentally and emotionally battered - not even always by direct, intentional abuse, but also by neglect, self-isolation, and the traumatic experience of feeling betrayed by your own mind and body as you attempt to cope singlehandedly with developing unaddressed health and quality of life issues without any adequate support system to fall back on - that you've fractured and hardened into someone you can hardly recognise, who you can't bring yourself to trust, or trust anyone else with. not after you've had so many lessons in how quickly people will realise they can take advantage of that naive, shamefully reliant desire for comfort and safety. not after you've been abandoned so many times before when you failed to be what people needed from you. not after all the times you've bitterly fantasised about doing something so appallingly cruel and violent that the other shoe finally drops and the remaining "good ones" who truly mean well give up on you like they're going to eventually anyway, even if you don't force the issue, when they realise that you're never going to get better. that you're damaged goods, sharp enough to cut their hands without even trying. too sick to be anything but a vector for infection. too dirty not to stain them.

all you'd have to do is lean into that hateful, sadistic part of you that wants to dig a hole so deep you'll never be able to climb out, and no one will ever be able to reach you - but at least the choice will have been yours. at least you'll finally be in control of yourself. all you have to do is keep pushing through the perverse relief of watching yourself burn down your own life around you, and you'll finally be free. you'll finally be you. they'll all finally see you as you are and regret that they ever thought they could do better than you could. all you'd have to do is stop trying. weird route from kris' pov is "letting the intrusive thoughts win" played completely sincerely, except the game was always rigged against you. but you knew that. that's why you did it. because what's the point in trying to prevent it when this is where you were always going to end up? what's the point of still pretending you don't hate yourself enough to turn the knife you twist inside yourself outwards on the people who made the idiotic, reckless, enviably naive mistake of having faith in you?
