#shouting into the tumblr void

[abductedlawnchair]

*ranting and raving and stomping on rooftops and flailing my arms about* HUMANS ARE AMIMALS!!! WE ARE ANIMALS!!! QUIT ACTING LIKE WE'RE NOT!!!

I am so goddamn tired of society acting like we're not!!! I am so goddamn tired of us as a society acting like we are above all the other animals!!! I do not care that we are the apex!!! We are fucking ANIMALS!!! Like, just take a step back and observe us like we have our own nature documentary on Nat Geo or something. Maybe with David Attenborough or whatever, idc. Just imagine it.

We are a species of apes that just so happened to gain the ability of extremely complex and abstract thought, capability of language, an almost absurd level of self-awareness, and the type of intelligence that allowed us to discover, invent, and develop tools. A species of apes that just so happen to have such a crazy level of curiosity that we have the capability to learn about the world around us, and beyond.

The way we learn and develop is fascinating. If you observe a toddler from that standpoint, watching them interact with the world around them, you'd see how natural curiosity is to us, in our human nature. Neil deGrasse Tyson has literally said that children are beings of chaos because they're curious and learning about the world around them.

We all have children in us, just like we have our ancestors in us!!! Our brains are wired like theirs. Relatively, we have been in this state of society for an extremely short amount of time!! Our brains and nervous systems are still wired to survive and keep us safe from predators and other dangers!!

We are social creatures!! We need love and connection to survive!! We can't do things on our own. The only reason we ever got to where we are is because we work together and communicate and share knowledge. The way society is right now is too isolating!! Humans aren't meant to be fighting for a place in society!! Haven't you seen zookeepers?? Or anyone who cares for nature in any capacity?? We have an incredible capacity for compassion and caretaking, because we have the capability to know and understand the inner workings of ourselves and countless other species!! Caretaking and compassion is literally an innate human trait!! We're supposed to take care of each other and the world around us!! We literally are capable of pack bonding with ROOMBAS, for fucks sake!! Little robots that our ape brains see moving around on its own, being part of our homes, and thinks "little guy is alive... I love him"!!! Isn't that beautiful???

We were an evolution of Mother Earth, Herself, to grow Her and expand Her and care for Her!!! Whether you believe in intelligent design or just the absurdity of it all, it still happened like that. We have the capacity to care for Her in an evolved level, yet we're fucking it up so badly right now.

Indigenous cultures have always been on the right track. They've always been right about this. They have always known that we are all pieces of the same organism, just like the atoms and cells and organs and electricity in your body are all part of one body!!

And btw, culture is another HUGE part of us being social creatures!! Being expressive and creative and connected!! That's part of our nature!! We're meant to sing and dance and laugh together!! That connectivity of us being a collective is So Important!!! Making fun of people for being "sheep", or having "herd mentality" every single time is so stupid because yes!!! Yes that's EXACTLY how we are supposed to be!!! We are social creatures, remember?? The whole point is that we do things together!!!

I know how society is rn isn't the end all, be all, but it just breaks my heart that this Capitalism shit goes against some of the most beautiful parts of humanity!! We are animals!!! We are cute and curious and compassionate and social and we need warmth and sunlight and sustenance from the earth and water and sleep and shelter from the elements!! We have instincts just like everything else!! We came from the dust and we will return to the dust because we will always be part of the Earth, just like all the other animals!! And somehow, despite all odds, despite how robotic Capitalism wants us to be, our human nature seeps into everything.

Take care of yourself! You are an animal, after all! <3

"Oh no, Meg will die one day and Apollo will be all alone. How sad. :("

Like Meg isn't going to bully her way into immortality sometime in her 30s.

Furthermore, while I do not think Apollo will be able to go through with overthrowing Zeus (mostly because it proves Zeus's paranoia right), Meg is toooootally going to do it because he made her dummy cry that one time.

(Artemis is totally down once Meg tells her about their dad has done to Apollo behind closed doors)

I've just made a personal mid year resolution and rule never to buy anything that's advertised to me through that nightmarish text to speech tiktok voice.

Every time I'm on Instagram or YouTube I see them. It's like a cheese grater being run over my ears.

Gonna talk into the void about Bo-Katan at the end of the most recent Mandalorian ep:

I know everyone’s talking shit about how she joined a cult *again* and that she’s going “oh shit” or “wtf” but I interpreted it very differently. She had everyone under her abandon her. She was literally by herself in that castle and then just watched her home get destroyed.

And then she arrives in the covert and gets asked two simple questions: “Did you bathe in the waters? Have you removed your helmet?” And when she answers truthfully, she is accepted. Nothing further asked. And she is lonely. So her body language at the end is more so one of relief. Of being accepted again. Of having a *home*.

(Not to mention the teeny tiny crisis she’s having over seeing the mythosaur.)

Job searching is so annoying. I’m looking for an entry level job and the employer says it’s entry level BUT they want 4 years of industry experience??? My guy if you want me to have past job experience then don’t list it as entry!

Also internships being exclusive to college students but also happening at the same time classes are?

No wonder no one wants to work, these people are making it impossible to get a job

Man. Depression is a bitch. Weight gain, dirty ass bedroom, hella dark thoughts? But I’m getting through it slowly but surely. Channeling happiness by doing new and different Pride makeup looks, focusing on bettering myself, even getting my health sorted. I got my fallopian tubes removed in April. Now I don’t have to worry about all these men focusing on abortion laws. And I can be child free for life that really improved my mental health while being in Florida.

Is this a drunken/anxiety induced rant? Yes. Will absolutely no one see it? Oh for sure. I haven’t been active on tumblr in ages. But do I feel a little better? Absolutely. Sometimes you just have to shout into the void.

For those few who made it through this have my new and epic Pride makeup looks as a reward. We have two rainbow flag looks followed by a bisexual Pride look.

to a person i’ll never meet

hi, how are you? were you on bumble all along? did i walk by you and think to say hello but chicken out? were you waiting for me to be a person, someone who can meet you and be more?

i wish i knew you, person, i wish i could call you my love and hold your hand. i want to feel your touch and i want you to feel mine, in the most delicate of ways with the heaviest purpose. a head on my shoulder, an arm on your elbow

i wish you knew me, person, and saw this void and fear and anger and made it worth it for me to be able to say goodbye to the things i wish i had a reason to let go. i wish you gave me your heart and mind and the galaxies of thoughts and ideas to fill the hole i’ll need to make in my chest

because the hole will be there whether i meet you or not, my person. it’ll be there because as i grow older my insides grow smaller and smaller, emptying out into this hole that’s taking me over

the hole will be there because i refuse to not let it grow. because the cost of fullness is emptiness of another kid, of the life i can’t live and the person i can’t be even though my skin and my blood and my books say different

so person, i guess it’s not fair on you anyway? that i need you and i want you and i love you already in a way i don’t know how to love, so that the hole can be worth it, because i know you are worth it

I know this feeling is temporary. But right now I'm sad and just not myself. And I have too many things on my mind.

Tumblr = actual fucking graveyard right now. WHERE ARE Y’ALL?

[heliabel]

Does anyone else not know what they're doing with their lives, or is that just me?

Tuned into the Grammy's for a bit & it was honestly the reminder I needed on why I don't tune into these things.

Funny thing is that there's legit info out in the world on how the Oscar's work & how it has nothing to to with the movies & everything to do with the money, branding & merchandise (sent over to the members of the academy who usually do not watch the movies at all & are often v open about it 🙃) & we still somehow as a society treat it as some sort of indicator.

Haven't looked into the inner Grammy's workings too close but it's probably a twin situation.

Even 'fair' awards would be controversial in most categories -with art being so subjective. But man oh man why would we ever trust a bunch of members of an American organization made up of super-privileged & out-of-touch folks to - of all people - tell us what music is actually "the best" 🫠

ok so i just need to shout into the void!! i need to write this out!!

so im like 85% sure im aromantic and like 95% sure im on the aromantic spectrum somewhere and personally i dont need labels i like to have wors to discribe myself if im asked but otherwise i dont care! im just here, a complicated sack of chemicals to put it way too simply.

now, the arospec experience is a complicated one now some people use the SAM (split attraction model) (some more information on that here, here, here, here and info on QPR's here, here, here)

now using that model i can understand myself in more depth and so do others, now here is where the void shoution comes in. I love the idea of a QPR i really do the ony issure i can see arising is that the other person is not arospec and the romantic feelings re not recipricated. now people can be happy with this (not that i know any my town is small) and thats lovely but like alot of sad love songs the romantic love feeling s not recipricated and there are still underlaying feelings there its not romantic. I get that. i dont get the whole i want to be your partner/so/whatever i do get the i want to be around you and talk to you, now keep in mind some see that as romantic but it feels the same as it does with my friends. i want to be around my friend, talk to them, etc! and it feels the same. i find people attractive and ont get those feelings wich i think is pretty 'normal' anyway but if there is a person where i do really ike this person, where i like them not romantially it feels the same as my friends BUT i totaly made out with them for an extended period of time 40 minutes held hands etc, hand holding is normal with friends but anyway!! yeah and we talked after an everything but im haveing this pit of gulit of like oh dear does she like me like that? i know she did before but im not sure now. but i dont. yeah i like her and i did enjoy our kiss would i do it again? probably? (we were not sober when this originally happend) but if given the chance would i kiss oter people? maybe? again i dont think i have those romantic feelings and i DO NOT want to fall into a one way relationship with someone, break thier heart and have it also be long distance. no thanks.

now see this is why i like the SAM, the romance portion is like LOW (if its there its like demiromantic idk tho) but the sexual/ attraction portion is still all there. Across all genders! diffrent levels probably but still!!!

anyway thanks if you read, but the void is nice.

The most frustrating thing about writing is the feeling of wanting to write and not being able to.

I have an entire detailed outline for a whole fic I'm halfway through, and I want to write it, but asdfghjkhjk I can't make the words go.
