WHAT IS REALITY?

[thenarryparable]

I am dating @ozym4ndi4s and have not realized until. Like a few minutes ago?

Nice to know that Cyrus knows that as well. He needs to know these things-

[hopelessromanticpoetsmind]

hello?

am i alone in this dreadful world we call “home”

am i real

are you real

i’m sinking too far now

pull me out

where am i?

who, am i?

what is this feeling

i am so out of place

let me feel real once more

- questioning reality

You ever just see an edit or a post that is so detailed and just so beautiful and it’s like an appreciation about a fandom you’re in and it just hits you how many people actually love the fandom as much as you do. It hits you so suddenly how much reading that book or watching that movie actually changed your life. It hits you just how much love you have for the characters and the story and you just are so obsessed and in love with it that it makes you emotional knowing none of it is real and that it’s just a story, knowing that all the characters are just a fantasy. But you still appreciate it. Because those truly heart wrenching stories that we read with all the romance, hate, angst, and so many other different emotions are the reason you love and see the world the way you do. Sure that hot perfect boyfriend or girlfriend isn’t real, sure that weird hero who has no idea what they’re doing but is still doing it isn’t real, that friend group with all those poetry and murder talking people aren’t real. But really to people like me and probably you, they ARE real. They’re so so so real and they mean SO much to us. In the end it’s really quite life changing how much the truly mean.

Life/Art Balance

Today my spouse sent me a link to the Cocaine Bear movie trailer. I had seen the movie poster rattling around Tumblr, but my response says a lot about internet memes:

"OMG, I thought this was a Goncherov thing but it's actually a Snakes on a Plane thing!"

My spouse is not nearly as terminally online as I am, so the subject was changed.

It's honestly crazy that discussion around testosterone HRT skews so much towards the beginning stages of it (to the point that you have dozens of guys thinking their transition is "failed" if they don't pass by like a year in lol) and what the initial changes of the first couple of months to years look like, like the classic laundry list of those early basic changes like bottom growth, voice drop, etc, when IMO literally none of that compares remotely to the depth and intensity of the long term total masculinization you start to experience like 3-5+ years in.

I hate how acknowledging unfairness in the world is seen as "childish". Maybe children are right. I don't think you should be proud of the fact that you've become complacent with the state of your miserable existence and took on this loser "it is what it is" mentality. Things can be better.

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram

the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis

I love nautical and seaside town horror stories. Tell me more about the fog and water that eats people

I actually love hearing about reformed people's stories. I love hearing about people who were in toxic communities or people who used to objectively be dickheads talking about how they got out of that. How they made themselves better.

I hate how most people's initial reaction to stories like that are things like:

"How could you have ever done those things?!" "Oh my god, you believed those things?!" "Well it doesn't un-do the harm you did!"

People incessantly advocate for change but then refuse to allow people who have changed the grace of being acknowledged and given opportunities and chances.

I love hearing about ex-antis talking about how they don't spend their days being angry and sending death threats anymore.

I love hearing about ex-homophobes who realized there's no magic law about what is "natural."

I love reformed bullies talking about how they made amends with their victims and spend their days being considerate of others.

You can't scream about wanting people to change but then expect them to spend the rest of their lives stuck in the past and on who they used to be. You can't expect people to spend the entire rest of their lives grovelling and apologizing and demeaning themselves.

Instead of clinging to who they were, latch onto who they are.

Ask how they got out of it. Commend them on changing. Enjoy that there's one less cause of harm in the world.
