it's so sad that the innies think the outies have all this life and freedom that has been denied to them and meanwhile mark is a depressed alcoholic who lives only in dim lighting, helena cuts eggs in pieces so small the fork shouldn't be able to lift them to her mouth, dylan and gretchen's marriage is desintegrating, all irving has is black coffee and black paint and the black hole of vengeance that wants to swallow him whole... it's just so fucking sad they have the physical means to reach for and grasp all the happiness denied to the innies and they still can't. they're too damaged to. they've drawn a chalk circle of hell around themselves and they never step out of it. the innies' lust for life is the only thing that will help them break the cycle. we can't, we can't, i'm ready, we can't, i'm ready, i'm ready, i'm ready.

this completes the capitalism critique tbh. growing up you have no autonomy, and you yearn for the freedom capitalism promises you- with your own money, you can make your own life! and then you’re an adult, and you are a slave to the system until you die- too chained to responsibility, or too tired after working, or too damaged from normalized violence, to truly enjoy adult life. freedom is an illusion, a promise that will never be delivered

the characters are damaged by the system- it took marks wife, it wore down dylan, it isolated and traumatized irv, it constricted helena. until they could be shaped to be what the system wanted them to be

the innies are an expression of the human urge to love and create and explore and live that is denied to us over and over- until the system breaks us or we realize we’re never truly getting that opportunity. that they were always lying to us

What tumblr fails to grasp is that I’m not interested in community groups for the things I like because fans of my favorite things are often very wrong about them

those rumors they have big teeth ch8 coming april 1!

hey everyone! the newest installment of those rumors they have big teeth (aka band au aka kndts) is coming april 1! this is not a drill. this is not an april fools joke.

in this upcoming chapter we have:

and much, much more!

coming soon!! catch up on chs1-7 (and some flashback one shots) now!!

band au ch1-7: a (not that brief) recap

if you saw the silly j-14 tanthamore spread by @guzzlingplastic but don't have time to catch up on 200k+ words of high quality gay nonsense + h/c, fear not...

kit and jade were in a duo together but then boorman said they needed a better singer so they recruited graydon who recruited elora who has the voice of an angel.

they went viral with their tiktok cover of you belong with me (lesbian edition) and started performing locally (imagine seeing chappell roan kit and the situations live at the forum before they got big).

elora majorly choked on stage because she ignored kit's fashion advice and they got into a huge fight afterwards where kit QUIT THE BAND.

jade made her apologize to elora because all jade's ever wanted was to be in a band with kit and elora and kit baked cookies together so everything was rosy.

none of that mattered anyway because they still got signed by wildwood and went even viral-er with elora's original song my life would suck without you.

continued below the cut (spoilers through ch7 of trthbt)

Gonna start NOT saying dumb shit out loud and replacing it with "no... I shan't say." unfortunately that doesn't apply to tumblr because it's MY blog and I get to choose the one note flop posts.

As much debate as there is about tone tags, 90% of the issues would be solved by just typing the word. Like instead of typing /gen or /hj you can just write (genuine) or (handjob) and you'll be doing pretty much the exact same thing.

You're not going to let me in there, are you? You've got your armour back on. That's that.

I have no armour left. You've stripped it from me. Whatever is left of me - whatever is left of me - whatever I am - I'm yours.

I want to be safe and comfortable and happy. And I want everyone else to be safe, comfortable, and happy with me. Why can’t we have this

new post but im shy so nobody gets to read it

One legitimately weird thing about Tumblr is that we literally can’t code for shit, many people quit working at Tumblr due to a hostile work environment, and we can’t seem to program a simple blogging website to not flood your RAM.

nearing the 10 year anniversary of banishing editable reblogs

if you have a popular post on this site inevitably people will tag it with something like “croggles to bringles when they lost the ploogie in ep 10” and it rules. i have no idea what you’re talking about but you’re right this IS so croggles to bringles when they lost the ploogie in episode 10.

i don’t understand why OPs complain when this happens on a funny text post. they thought it was funny enough to gift to their personal blorbo. are you not entertained? are you not enamored with croggles and bringles? go fuck yourself
