INACTIVE | inspired by many blogs before me, comparing "high art" to so-called "low culture" as a means for reflection on modern content (aka a blog i made in a frenzy at midnight because its summer & im bored) | feel free to request a comparison but know i might not always post suggestions | title from this video, icon from this video

i feel very dumb making this post but it must be said: i know i just made this blog but school is starting & almost overnight i started getting a lot of anxiety specific to this blog (and honestly consuming media based around real-life personalities in general) that’s made me think i need to step away for a bit. maybe i’ll come back to it, maybe i won’t, i don’t know and i don’t feel like handing this dumbass project off to anybody else. thanks for (briefly) indulging my whims, i guess.
#i really dont wanna get into it too much but also this probably comes off very weird#from a blog that started probably less than a month ago lmao#hopefully it was a fun little jaunt for all#i certainly had fun while it lasted
