I truthfully think that the idea that you have to have lots of accessories to be alternative has really just added to consumerism in subculture

The audacity of well established bands to only sell merch for their most recent album. You bastards, you fiends, your peak popularity was in 2007, sell me a tshirt with old album art for the love of god.

In love with the contrast between Dream and Tom. Dream has a gravitas to his mere presence and with Tom it's like omg he's just a little guy!

More Agreste Twin AU! Is is anyone going to explain what on Earth is happening in the Miraculous-sphere right now? 🤔

Virgil is, imo, one of those emos who definitely should stop drinking energy drinks (specifically monster), but he doesn't. Instead he's collecting the cans on a shelf for some unholy reason

do you ever think about how most characters in super paper mario only call mario "the hero" and not his name?

there's something so weirdly sweet about the fishing aspect of cruelty squad to me. like sure, we never get a proper backstory for john, but he knows how to fish (and the names of different species of fish in the cruelty squad universe), and a tattered rain hat is "nostalgic" for him. it's pretty clear that he used to be a fisher, maybe even a fisherman's son, someone who grew up with this completely ordinary and grounded hobby that he still understands and enjoys as an adult, despite whatever mental breakdown he had apparently causing him to lose touch with most of his memories (personal interpretation).

it's so strangely comforting that in a game notorious for its absurdism and jarring graphics and incomprehensible lore, a game where you literally kill and become god, a game that's essentially a parody of late-stage capitalism, you can ignore your mission and go fishing instead. you can put on a tattered rain hat and go fishing. to me, it feels a lot like a reminder that even in the absolute batshit world we live in, people are still people, no matter how hard you try to strip them of their humanity (you can fish on any difficulty; john's ability to engage in his one and only hobby can't be taken away even when his divine light is severed, or even when he apparently loses bodily autonomy).

and it's not like that hobby is somehow pure or untouched by the horrible reality around him; you still find human bodies in the water, you still ultimately find the fishes you catch on the stock market. you can't escape capitalism, it infects everything, but you're allowed to find momentary comfort in something you can control. something that was born of you and your humanity alone.

forever disappointed in Rick for, when presented with the decision of "what band t-shirt do i give Nico to signify his character and style," having Nico wear a Ramones shirt when the opportunity for Nico in a Welcome To The Black Parade shirt was RIGHT THERE. PEAK EMO AND IT HAS A SKELETON ON IT-
