People are new kinds of cruel to the chronically anxious on this website. Just break a lifetime of conditioning! just do it! there's no real reason you're anxious! it comes from nowhere! just undo the decades of conditioning to minimize yourself for everyone's benefit! if you don't it's your fault! It's so easy there's so many resources for it like the expensive doctor who will call the cops on you if you say the wrong thing!

"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

i think that "touch grass" has run its course and that it could be replaced by instead saying "go here" with this image attached. if you want

setting up a tiny detail in one chapter to pay it off in the next few chapters feels sooo devious like oooh i can't wait to write the small little reference here that 70% of readers will miss but 30% of readers will cheer for

something something dirk is both taking the story (and himself) too seriously while also being too irony poisoned to create an earnest and good story. it’s, funnily enough, missing any heart

I think Dirk’s going to recognize it’s not going great, but instead of actually asking why, he’s going to repeatedly double down on the worst parts. maybe I’m misreading this. Stories are awesome or something

yeah!! that's how he's going to repeat the cycles of homestuck, and it's vriska that's gonna throw a wrench in it as homestuck's biggest brightest critic. she's gonna be the one to hold him accountable for what he's doing with the story he's telling and demand he address the impact it's having, both in and out of the story itself. she's not going to let another vriska happen because of any failure on part of the authors to address the problems they're causing by portraying people like her in bad faith. it's PEAK
