I say, I saw that this situation of mine was the precise situation of every mortal that breathes; only, in most cases, he, one way or other, has this Siamese connexion with a plurality of other mortals.

(I wanted this for future reference, transcript of Martyn’s defense below.)

I’m gonna go with ‘not the asshole’! Bros before hoes, and bros before bones. It’s an age old rule, it’s an age old tradition. And this friend, supposed friend, completely went against that. And why wouldn’t they wanna join the company, the kingdom, whatever it is? Why not? I think they should.

Your friends know you better than your partner ever will in those early stages, and if they can see that they’re a wrongin’ from the get-go… It’s not nice doing the ‘ha, told you so,’ or anything like that. I think the friend should’ve listened to the friend. I think the friend should’ve listened to the author.

‘Are you biased?’ No, this isn’t me. So… Don’t know what you’re talking about. I dunno, man.

‘You’re the asshole if you have to gaslight people to make your point, your point is invalid.’ Nah, but some people need to see the world through a different lens. That’s why you have to… sort of… tell a little white lie, and then when that person rebuttals it, and all the truth comes out. It’s like poking at the beehive, right? Poking it’s not pleasant, it’s not nice, and you might get stung, BUT at least, you know, this all goes through.

[Reading chat.] ‘They were husbands, how is that early stages?’ They got married fast, I don’t know what to tell you. They were married after the first day. I saw an edit on the post afterwards, and they said (…) they got married after a day, so this was like a shotgun wedding. This was a shotgun wedding, felt a bit cult-y, felt a bit, y’know… bit weird and a bit rushed. So, I dunno, man.

Shen Qingqiu is an unreliable narrator. This is a well known fact by the Scum Villain fanbase. But while his self-brainwashing and deflections are well known, what is less well known is exactly who he is behind the lies he tells himself. 

I'm going to be analysing Shen Qingqiu in multiple parts! The names of the parts are below, and I'll link to each part when I post it.

Part One: Loving The Protagonist! …Or His Halo?

(A Dive into his repression, and how he may be less oblivious then he appears)

Part Two: Unlike The Original Goods-

(How similar is Shen Qingqiu to Shen Jiu? How often does Shen Qingqiu use Shen Jiu as a shield for his true emotions?)

Part Three: Grandmaster of Self-Brainwashing

(Shen Qingqiu’s lies to himself, and why he tells them)

Part Four: "I'll Gladly Endure it"

(Shen Qingqiu does accept himself. Eventually)

(May possibly do more parts!)

Song of the Day 01/11/2023

Hello Cold World - Paramore

I reserve the right to be really fucking obnoxious about my Paramore obsession. With the new album slowly coming out, I thought it would be fun to talk about a throwback! This song turned a good twelve years old this year, and it’s one of my favorites! This is a song with your usual Paramore energy and pop punk drums, and Hayley William’s vocals are as incredible as ever. It feels turbulent, but hopeful. Like the world is chaos, but we’re going to be okay in the end, if you get what I mean?

Favorite Lyrics

Twenty-two was like, the worst idea that I have ever had

It's too much pain, it's too much freedom

What should I do with this

As someone who just hit twenty a month ago, a girl can relate to the early twenties feeling of too much freedom and too much pain, still learning how to survive on my own

It's such a cold, cold world (hello cold world)

And I can't get out

So I'll just make the best of everything I'll never have

The world can be cold, but hell yeah we’re gonna make the best of it anyway—I’m going into 2023 with hope and optimism

You wanna make a difference

Get out and go to get it

Again, that feeling of hope! We can fix this! We just need to get out and go and do it!

Final Takeaway

Paramore never fucking misses, but I ADORE their more hopeful music. I like that I can be edgy and hopeful at the same time with this band. I’m still so incredibly excited to see more music from them, especially since a lot of their new music has their old punk sound. I do hope we get at least one song from the new album that’s more like this and Last Hope, a little brighter, like hey, maybe this isn’t the end of the line. In any case, I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND.

Check out the 2023 SOTD Playlist!

I'M ONLY GOING TO SAY THIS ONCE

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, you can combine one 8oz can of pumpkin puree with one box cake mix (any kind but spice cake is best) and about 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, drop by tablespoon-ish onto a greased/parchment/silpat cookie sheet, and bake at 350F for 13-16 minutes

if there are no spices in either your cake mix or pumpkin puree i suggest adding warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves

Of course, the burkini ban is messed up on grounds of religious freedom and racial discrimination. But also

Under any other circumstances, people would be HORRIFIED at a government mandate that women have to show a certain amount of skin. Like. That’s fucking dystopian, and the absolute opposite of feminism. If a government tried to pass a law that all women had to wear tube tops and miniskirts to go outside, people would rightfully be up in arms demanding blood

But because it’s targeting a marginalized religious group, many folks are lauding the blatant forced sexualization of women. Appalling

(apparently the ban also outlaws things like sun – protecting bathing suits if they cover too much skin. Which like. Yes, let’s give everyone skin cancer just so we can spite a religion we’ve decided to hate. Sounds like a good plan </s>)
