i’ve died on smaller hills, so i can’t judge. but i do think it’s funny whenever posts about the proper definition of a poor little meow meow circulate, considering none of them mention that the origin was a kpop fan’s absolutely bonkers tweet about not being able to protect a full grown man who was getting backlash for including audio from the jonestown cult leader jim jones in one of his songs
I was clearly not at the devils sacrament what the fuck
the thing is that childhood doesn’t just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it’s going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it’s going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you’ve suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing
looking at “cringe sonic ocs” and it reminds me that people usually stop calling it cringe only if and when the art is supposedly good. like ive seen several suddenly get banger updated art a decade later and theyre “awesome now”. like you cant act like you didnt dog on it in winters past bc now it “looks good”. you aren’t suddenly “in on the joke”, you’re the one that turned someone’s special guy into a target in the first place. eat my shoe
you’re not cool for shitting on ocs.
and this goes for any and all ocs/aus. your self insert, your recolor, your sonas, your oc x canon, your mary sue, your fankid/family, your edgelord, your joke ocs, even your random background characters etc. they’re all important because they were made by someone. nobody’s oc is more valid than the other just because its “drawn/designed/written better” or their origins are “pure”. you can’t gatekeep how or why ocs are made. bullying people for having fun is a loser profession.
to those who have faced this bullying, you may try to hide and attempt to exclude yourself from this post because you’re embarrassed. maybe you did write and share self-servicing stories of everyone falling in love with your self insert at age 11 on wattpad. but at the end of the day it made you happy; those who shun you chose to feel that way, you did not make them.
please be kind to your past “cringe”, because that was once your present happiness.
and dearly behated, “cringe aficionados”, self-employ some fucking childish wonder and go make an oc.
“The thing about idols is that we don’t have to commit a crime or do something that’s controversial for people to blow little things out of proportion and judge us. I could never understand the mentality of those people.”
