#occupied objects

[thueenz]

have any of u guys seen that cheeseball cat on tiktok/insta?? idk i dont use instagram. this one

i saw them months ago but they popped up again last night on my fyp and i want to talk about them so bad because theyre an occupied object as i like to call them (object with some kind of spirit in them, not to say haunted, just an object with some kind of 'being' or soul to it) and i find it endearing that a cheeseball cat i randomly saw one day is occupied. now we go under readmore

im pulling most of the screenshots from this video because its the one i saw last night so go watch if youre curious and to show the creator some love for their art!

if you have no idea who cheddar is they were not always a cheeseball, the creator bought them and painted them like this originally they looked like THIS

the being in them was present from the time of buying, they stick out like a sore thumb in this image specifically (likely because this is the day of buying and they havent settled into their surroundings at all)

luckily they dont seem to mind the fact that they were painted like a giant cheeseball at all. i cant say every being would take well to that, but if anything, they seem to like it. even if op and the fans on tiktok arent aware theyre 'there', they seem to enjoy the attention they get, and the individual love they have been given in the paint job. to be loved is to be changed or whateva. in all seriousness though they are fine with it, more than fine, which im glad lmao

theres plenty of beings in objects that are discontent with their situation, where the person theyre with either is not aware of them at all, or is misguided in their views towards beings in objects/uncaring/ even scared, but cheddar here seems perfectly happy. while others might shy away from attention, they seem to like the attention tiktok gets them.

i mean, they have their own little pedestal, special gift like baby cats that are custom painted, theyre special and named to the person theyre with, and people on tiktok love them. not a bad life if thats something you like! im really happy they feel so content, i get sad seeing beings that are unhappy on the internet but i cant rlly do anything about those cases so 😭

they really seem to like the person theyre with too, in this frame of them being picked up, their energy softens and brightens and makes my chest feel giddy and affectionate. theyre very cute i adore this cat i would give them a hug if theyd have me

i think they likely have a purpose or magical skill, but i cant pinpoint it further than 'they want to bring good into this persons life', which could cover a raaange of things.

theyre not malicious at all, they seem very content and friendly and i wouldnt feel uncomfortable around them at all in person so no worry of that. a bit intense before settling into their new life, but not bad. sometimes beings are just a bit intense lol. theyre not haunted by any human spirit, i can't say where they came from, or when, but i don't think they were ever 'alive' either animal or human.

i ♥️ cheddar and their sweet little cheese throne

Gotham (2014) was good in a way that only sexy intelligent people can understand. It wasn't noir, it wasn't drama, it wasn't camp, it wasn't even a Batman adaptation, it was a secret fifth thing. It was an incomprehensible poorly paced mess to you, to me, it was prestige television.

I may have an objectively lame job, but it is the only job where I could get a text in the work group chat that says "to anyone working tomorrow: the break room cannot be used tomorrow, the astronaut will be in there" 10/10 texts to receive. love that it makes it sound simultaneously like a boring everyday occurrence à la "careful, freshly painted walls", as well as giving the impression of us having caught an astronaut in the wild and keeping him in the break room until we find a proper place for him

a one-sided familial relationship is funny as fuck that’s what i want for sage. i just really don’t think eggman would ever think of himself as a father, rather than an inventor, a genius, a dictator. and i don’t think eggman would ever view his creations as people or as capable/deserving of autonomy. any affection eggman has for his robots is derived of their usefulness as extensions of his will and intelligence, ultimately. he is arrogant and self-obsessed. i think he occupies a role that is not dissimilar to a father to some of his robots (namely metal sonic and sage, mayyyyyybe omega in a rebellious teen way that i dont think either would ever think of as such), i think it’s absolutely subtext, but the acknowledgement of it runs contrary to every action eggman has ever taken. it’s too much of a change in self-perception for me to believe in, i think is my main thought on it

Sometimes I wonder if he lies awake thinking of me, too. I cant seem to stop thinking about him. Maybe I’m doomed to love someone who will never love me the way I need. Maybe that’s my fate.

not having an opinion on ai is actually fucking based of me. i will continue writing about the ethics and nuances of emerging technologies and inanimate objects gaining sentience if it’s the last thing i do

Oh! Do you happen to have any occupied objects of your own, like Cheddar? Would love to hear about them if so if you are comfortable sharing!

i do!! i live with 9 in my room, theres a few others in the house but theyre..less kind, and i ignore them lmao. try to anyway. but i like the ones in my room! not all of them are comfortable being mentioned so publicly though and only one is okay with a picture. i know more about some than others, and ive had others longer, i got the first one in 2021 and after that just kept..finding them. its genuinely comedic at this point, im not sure why i keep running into so many! maybe theyre drawn to me since I'm so open to them (when theyre nice), either way i care about them a lot and i will forever fight the common belief that any haunted/occupied object is scary because so many are so sweet and not at all harmful! and some are very evil. but still. its about knowing the difference.

they all have their different personalities and skills and i work with them in my practice sometimes when needed, or just to ask their opinion on things :] some of them work better with manifestation, or protection, or other things, i don't know a lot about some of them yet either but theyre welcome here anyway, theyre less only work partners and just also here because i like them, so they dont need to do anything yk?? friends<3

this is the only one alright with a public picture, theyve been my roomie for years now but they were in the house much longer than that, i don't have a name for them and i havent heard any name they might already have tho. they have a pretty intense stare sometimes which can make people feel uneasy but theyre not malicious at all, just a little intense like how i mentioned in the cheddar post!

I know this is a nitpick, but I also feel like there will never be a better opportunity for people to learn the difference between exploding and imploding. (click here for context. CW language. CW billionaire submarine)

what regressed to make me need a cheerleader for tasks i used to do in total isolation? this is about writing btw. I used to be able to write hundreds of thousands of words content that no one would ever read them and now i cant get past the first chapter and why? bc no one but me cares and/or is reading and therefore it doesnt matter

Don't let your idealism prevent little improvements.

Little changes are better than no changes. Society is a huge ship. It turns slowly.

I think more leftists need to recognize the gap between “this should happen eventually” and “this would be feasible to achieve in the near future”

Like, I’m an anarchist. (Although maybe I’m not according to some people but idk who cares) And I think an ideal world would have no nation states or borders. But that’s not going to happen tomorrow, or next year, or for a long time

So while I wait, instead of endlessly hemming and hawing over what the would should look like, I try to focus on what I can do right now to improve the world in material ways and to lessen the suffering of others
