Hello there! I'm Max, I'm an adult, and this is my main+multi-purpose blog. I'm an aroallo trans guy, and I think sex is super fascinating, so if that's not cool with you, you probably should not follow me.

I mostly use this account to reblog posts I find funny, insightful, or interesting, as well as occasionally talking about philosophical/introspective things on my mind.

I love all forms of art, but I'm particularly interested in Western Art Music (i.e. Classical music), visual arts (such as illustration), and literature.

I also really like anime/manga, video games, sciences, languages, and any kind of human expression that feels meaningful to me.

Feel free to send a dm or ask at any time! My stance of online messages is that it's like having a pen pal--There's never an obligation to respond quickly (or even at all!). I'd rather have well thought out responses than have my conversation partner feel obligated.

Current fandom fixation: streamer rpf and not one of the popular ones (please ask me about them I would like to spread my otp agenda)

I wish something people talked about more with depression (at least from my experience) is that while yes, you do feel numb, it is extremely painful. As in, a physical pain. Physical pain so bad you can barely stand, barely eat. (And oftentimes, physical pain does manifest.)

So, my advice for anyone currently experiencing this is A. You are in real, tangible pain. It is not simply existential. B. The “numbness” is exhaustion, it’s not that you don’t care about anything, because you probably do. C. Take care of your physical body!! I don’t mean just exercise and eat healthy, I mean eat something. I mean take painkiller when you need them. I mean keep a routine even if it’s just for waking up and going to bed. Carry a bottle of water around with you so it’s right there and easy to access.

Take care of your body first, and then you can get at the emotional side of things! Because rolling into the numbness and denying the fact that you’re in pain only further denies the emotions you’ve denied yourself. (Talking to myself in past tense.)

To everyone saying they recognize the program this was made in and thinks this was an architectural software — NO IT WASN’T. This is a player wearing an orca avatar in an MMO at a public humiliation/exposure fetish place and as soon as the orca entered that place he found it was a bunch of real life photographs of old guys bending over and exposing their assholes. After staring at a certain German guy’s picture for too long the guy in the picture noticed this (he was zoomed in) and messaged the orca some shit like “does Sir like what he sees?” “the slave thanks you for looking.” the orca didn’t have the social skills to handle this, tried to be polite, panicked, tried to turn around but since the avatar is so big it was like the Austin Powers truck driving scene and every way he turned he saw more babyboomer asshole. how do i know this? that orca, was me

#this is the most relatable shit ever#I would do this for real

One thing that has made me a much more well-adjusted person is a clip I once saw of Hank Green saying that anyone can be in amazing shape as long as being in amazing shape is one of their top three priorities.

(This is obviously a generalization that isn't true for everyone. But it is true for most people and I'm proceeding from there.)

This "top three priorities" framing has genuinely reduced my tendency toward jealousy and self-comparison a lot. Now when I feel envious of someone’s spotless, aesthetic home, I think to myself, “Having a spotless, aesthetic home is probably one of their top three priorities. It’s definitely not one of mine, so I shouldn’t expect my home to look like that.”

Or when I see an influencer with a body that takes a ton of work to maintain: “Maintaining that body is obviously one of her top three priorities, because it’s her livelihood. My livelihood is my brain, so I’m never going to prioritize my body like that.”

It also helps me to identify areas that I actually DO want to prioritize more. I realized in recent years that my envy for my friends who prioritized writing more than I did was NOT going away, so I started to prioritize writing more. (Not top three, but higher priority than it has been in the past.)

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

  • the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
  • taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
  • at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
  • 'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
  • it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
  • it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
  • you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
  • young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
  • there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
