May or may not be working on little pieces for a commission sheet and I really like how this Crane is turning out

It’s like men realised that to be #notallmen they had to actually act like it all the time instead of just when they got a pat on the back for it, and instead of doing so they said ‘nah, not worth it’ and became worse than before

indy it's been quite some time buuuut there is new claptrap content in bl4! i watched this vid from someone who managed to get the game early, and even though i don't wanna spoil it.. it made me feel things

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t lol

I am completely willing to pay 90 dollars for BL4. As you saw, AAA games have been that price for me for a while anyway so I expected that. The DLC being attached to something that costs an extra $80 is a whole other thing though and it can probably wait

before he showed the label he was like 'these are called knees' and I was like 'no those are called elbows' and then lo and behold they were actually called knees

Neither enemies to lovers nor slow burn but a secret third thing called Schrödinger's intimacy. We are in love and we are not in love do NOT open that lid I swear to God.

I don’t think I can stress enough how many people on here need a hobby like 95% of what people refer to as jobless behavior is actually just hobbyless behavior. Take up watercolors or tabletop or join a hiking group or something you probably won’t feel as much of an incessant need to freak out on the internet every day

all big modern games have been 90 dollars for me for a few years so I was fully prepared to pay that, especially because I've historically played the games for longer than 90h, but the DLC for sure isn't happening for a while

I think mostly what young fandom types (and I guess younger people in general) who are very very invested in the idea that “20 is still basically a minor” need to understand is that the feeling of “I’m just a child pretending to be an adult, and everyone else around me is a REAL adult” is DEEPLY universal (and won’t stop, ever, by the way, sorry!) and also is not, like, praxis.

Believe me, I get it, but the self-infantilization needs to stop, especially when you’re trying to engage in conversations about actual children and the harms they can face. Yes, it is scary to wake up and realize you’re 22 and you still feel like you’re 15, but it happens to all of us. You’re an adult. You have to deal with it.

really fun duo you have there. mind if i add arbitrary roles to their relationship dynamic so i can write one of them as an overprotective caretaker and the other as a naive helpless baby?

The rise of anti-intellectualism has been crazy to witness especially bc people aren’t putting the pieces together. Like more and more I’m seeing average every day people saying things like an education and even literacy are not necessary to earn a living. Meanwhile those in power are absolutely sending their children to the best schools and ensuring that they will receive accredited degrees. The people who hold economic, legal and social power are educated; why would you want to lock yourself out of being able to participate in those spaces? If knowledge was so useless, why do those in power not want you have it while they hoard it for themselves and their children?

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

I feel like in the rush of “throw out etiquette who cares what fork you use or who gets introduced first” we actually lost a lot of social scripts that the younger generations are floundering without.
