Feel free to ignore this but as someone who also goes to art school, I find it really interesting how other art schools also have a “don’t date your peers” sort of faux pa. Like so many people I know (including me) refuse to date anyone else who goes to my college 😭

I wonder why that is tbh, small school thing maybe?

being so serious i didn't have anything against dating other art school peers when i first came here and i think most freshmen dont but once you have one or two art school relationships under your belt you realize why all the upperclassmen avoid dating each other like the plague

i saw that review on letterboxd of all the rhetorical questions for barbie and like… the more i think abt it, the more i’m certain that the review’s author fundamentally misunderstood the film. barbie land is not a utopia in the way that adults would think abt a utopia, like the author seems to imply… barbie land is canonically shaped by little girls playing with their dolls. that’s why we see a supreme court. thats why there are nobel prizes and authors and lawyers (also because that’s how the toys are marketed… would there be a mermaid in ur utopia??? there would be in mine!). that’s why barbie and ken don’t necessarily know what a boyfriend and girlfriend are “meant” to do (not to mention that the author’s assumption that sex is fundamental to a romantic relationship is problematic at best). that’s why barbie is indifferent to ken (i personally had the life size barbie and my sister had the barbie dream house—we had the working woman barbie game, i had the genie barbie gameboy game, we had countless barbie dolls; we didn’t own a single ken doll lol). barbie land is a world created by and for little girls as they play with their dolls (she says in a comment on the original post “don’t little girls play with their dolls in a sexual way?” and yeah, sure, some do. but i didn’t and i’m sure there are others who didn’t… just like there are some girls who completely mutilated their own dolls and made them into horrifying creatures)… that’s why stereotypical barbie starts having an existential crisis—because a grown woman begins to play with her doll again and starts reshaping barbie land… we, as the audience, are meant to understand this as an outlier to how barbie land is canonically created. the author also calls ken “crass” and “slovenly”… maybe after he builds the patriarchy in barbie land he becomes “crass” but i wouldn’t call him slovenly at any point in the film (i suppose this is just semantics tho).

also, please stop saying that barbie land is a reversal of the real world. it isn’t, even if that may have been the filmmakers intentions. again, barbie is indifferent to ken. she does not abuse him, she does not treat him like he exists to service her by cooking or cleaning or providing other favors for her… barbie does not oppress ken in the way that men oppress women in the real world (we have no idea if he owns property or where he lives and she doesn’t seem to particularly care—extremely different from the fact that women couldn’t have their own bank accounts or credit cards, get a mortgage on their own or divorce their husbands through no fault divorce until the second half of the 20th century in the us… within a lot of our mothers and grandmothers lifetimes!!!!) and it is a complete disservice to conflate or equate the two. we actually see barbie drawing clear boundaries around her time and space in regards to ken—this is not a reversal of misogyny as women and girls experience it in the real world, by any stretch of the imagination.

is the film perfect or revolutionary or radical? of course not. it was produced by major studios and corporations in hollywood. of course the barbie movie is a fucking commercial for barbie, like… to expect anything different is just extremely dumb on your part if u saw the trailer, saw the marketing, saw the interviews, bought a ticket, and sat ur ass in the theater, like be fuckin serious. but don’t do women and girls a disservice by discrediting the world and thoughts and ideas it could open up for them by seeing themselves be taken seriously on screen in a major summer blockbuster with stupid fucking questions because u want to feel superior to everyone else because YOU and ONLY YOU see through the capitalist marketing of lipstick pop girlboss feminism (especially when juxtaposed with the way the female characters are treated in oppenheimer, which we cannot help but compare to the barbie film with the viral marketing of barbenheimer).

We ought to write more Pokemon fic some time. We want to recreate the Pokemon Manners/Human Manners cheat sheet that we made a few years ago we think that this site would like the Sliding Scale Of Politeness When Greeting A New Pokemon You've Never Met Before.

imo the main issue with society chronically online is that people are losing the ability to think critically, or maybe we aren’t losing the ability to do so, but rather lack the desire to communicate more nuanced understandings of things in the digital space. this black-and-white mindset leads us to forget that multiple perspectives can coexist (for the same person) and we don’t always have to “take a side” to be viewed as confident/having strong character. life is pretty complex and I think it should be allowed to be, especially considering we personally are unlikely to know everything there is to know about it. For example, I can believe that life is probably complex but I can also believe that life is simple, we live and we die so just be nice! — two things at the same time! and I won’t fight you if you strongly believe in just one and I won’t doubt your entire being if you are unsure of where you stand but I think it’s cool all sides are able to be considered and we aren’t necessarily required to land on one thing (because we actually aren’t a search engine required to spit out definite answers at any moment - a search engine was just a tool created to simplify the complexities of human thought but it never required us to become it). I’m a big fan of the internet but we gotta remember we still have human capabilities !! we aren’t actually bots ourselves, at least not yet. I could be wrong but I highly doubt we were put on earth to become the embodiment of a comment section - in fact the comment section was probably intended to become an embodiment of us, we just got a little lost along the way :,) in saying all that the internet is beautiful, there’s so many lovely people! I love it! I just hope we don’t forget to communicate our cool human abilities in digital spaces too :)

I love how two of the best lines in all of AT (“Finn this is literally serious” and “see this is a good example of why I want to kill you”) are in the same episode

moze  doesn't  talk  a  lot.  this  is  a  known  fact.  but  if  someone  points  it  out  ?  he'll  leave  without  saying  goodbye.  nothing  is  worse  than  being  an  introvert  +  having  selective  mutism  around  people  who  don't  understand  and  try  to  force  you  to  talk.  don't  bring  attention  to  these  things  when  interacting  with  moze.  if  he  doesn't  want  to,  or  cannot  talk,  he  shouldn't  feel  guilty  or  obligated  to  do  so  just  to  make  the  other  person  happy.

i love dressing up i hate fucking trying on clothes bc sizing is inconsistent and already sucks so much for my ingrained insecurities from always being the larger fat kid in my group and i hate when one xl can make you feel so comfortable but give you a false sense of security bc another fucking xl can have the chance to barely fit around your thighs, and its like how the fuck am i supposed to even find clothes that actually fit when the act of shopping feels like gambling. i jus wanna be comfortable and pretty <- trying saur hard not to give a shit and be happy but damn it is so hard LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

Thank uuuuu it’s character development time idk if it’s for the better or worse but I’m chillin. Gonna buy some dried mango tomorrow and be happy not that it’s relevant but I need to tell someone how pumped I am to get my dried mango. The local refill shop changed their supplier and now it has good texture so I can rest happily.
