Be horny about Nosferatu I do not care but also do not lose sight of how much the European depiction of vampires relies on making monstrous an orientalized ethnic other. There is literal Nazi propaganda depicting Jews as vampires and that did not spring forth from nowhere. Stoker's depiction of Romani people in "Dracula," even if not as vampires, is extremely racist. Yes, vampirism as a metaphor for queerness and sexual expression also exists but I'm seeing a lot of people only discussing that.

PLEASE buy from people who have not filled their goals!
Did you know that for a long time, Girl Scouts has openly included transgender and nonbinary individuals in its membership? I first learned of this four years ago while searching for a source for my annual Girl Scout cookie purchase. At that time, a wave of anti-trans sentiment was intensifying, prompting me to seek out transgender Girl Scouts from whom to order. One major benefit of their online ordering system is that it allows for trans girl scouts to sell their cookies with relative privacy and no contact between the scout and the purchaser when it comes to online orders.
My initial effort was a success, meeting the goals of every single scout featured on the page. The achievement felt wonderful during what seemed like one of the most severe legislative attacks on transgender children in recent memory. Unbeknownst to us, each subsequent year would bring greater such attacks. Since then, every year I've repeated this initiative, we've surpassed our previous sales, leading to coverage in multiple major media outlets.
It is that time of year again. I have reached out to the families on my list to gather girl scouts to purchase cookies from. Please consider choosing a trans girl scout to get your cookies from this year - the kids are under attack this year more than ever, so lets give them some joy.

To take it further, I think public figures do not owe anyone politeness or grace when those boundaries get badly stepped on. Sure, sometimes a gentle "cut it out" will suffice but we know that it doesn't always, and some privacy violations are worse than others. I think they should be allowed to say "fuck off!!!!" and leave it at that without the public turning on them as if defending yourself is some kind of dangerous unprecedented behavior for a human being. No is a complete sentence, etc.
I daresay most of us are probably familiar with the dynamic where a victim of abuse or oppression stays silent and takes it and takes it until one day they fight back and suddenly they're painted as the unreasonable one. Yeah. Don't do that to people.
It is possible and good to have parasocial relationships that are healthy. But you have to figure out where those boundaries are. It is your responsibility as a human not to be fucking weird to other people and that includes learning how to interact with public figures who do not know you. And it should not fall solely on their shoulders to tell you to stop it when you fuck up that balance, you need to moderate yourself too.
*no shade on OP but to clarify, I say public figures instead of famous ppl or celebrities bc plenty of content creators for example are neither of these things but still deserve the same respect
Between Chappell Roan telling people to stop looking up her family members and Hozier going into his girlfriend's Instagram comments to chastise fans harassing her, I'm completely here for famous people saying "Okay the parasocial shit is getting out of hand, you guys are getting too bold and it stops now."
#bless me i knew abt none of this bc i mind my business but Yes God Thank You#parasocial stuff is weird. we didnt evolve to have this kind of one sided awareness of each other and so#figuring out how to do that healthily is kind of a weird road. but you can!#for example i have a parasocial relationship with rachel maksy that has no negative impact on either of us#she doesn't know i exist and i refer to her by first name when i tell my friends abt her latest project or funny blooper#and yet i don't spend time thinking abt her personal life or anything she does not share publicly#i dont stalk her socials#i want good things for her but if she alludes to bad things in her life it doesn't ruin my week or give me some kind of identity crisis#i dont fight other ppl online or anywhere else abt her or her content#and at the same time i would be overjoyed to meet her and lots of my in jokes probably come from her content#i say all this to illustrate that there is such a thing as a good parasocial relationship.#you just gotta strike the balance. and sometimes that means sitting down with your social animal brain and saying Hey#this is a weird situation for you to understand mr lizard brain but they do not know you at all#therefore there is a such thing as being overfamiliar even tho it is your instinct to be so#bc when we were hunter-gatherers--if you knew them they knew you#but we have toxic celebrity culture and social media now and you have to adapt#that means you do not get invested in their private life or family#that means what they do when they are not presenting their public persona is none of your business#they can be important to you. formative even. but you don't get to follow the happy bonding chemical brick road as far as you please#there is a cutoff where it gets weird for both of you bc they do not have similar access to your image#do not try to joke around with them like you're best friends (i see that one a lot)#oh enough rambling but my point is that there is a balance and once you find it it becomes second nature#and don't feel like you're 'losing' anything by stepping back if you are too involved and want to get normaler#once you get your head on straight about who they are to you you won't Want to know their personal life or think abt them always or whatever#you will feel Better. bc a well regulated mind is a happy one#parasocial relationships

And after a while you just stop. You stop watering your plants. You stop watching netflix. You stop reading. You stop replying to your friends as fast as you used to. You stop buying yourself nice things. You stop putting an effort into how you look. You stop taking care of yourself like you used to. You stop sleeping. You stop eating healthy foods. You stop petting your dog. You stop socializing.
You stop with everything. You find yourself sitting in your room for hours on end, without doing a single thing. Days feel like years. And you think you can’t do it for much longer.
