Heated Drama Between Men

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

sorry to put your tags on blast on this insane breach containment post I have since muted, but you're right and you should say it.

It is defeatable. Go for the throat.

This is why I push back on people who make fun of "I need to be the hottest person in the bank queue or I'll die" quips. A lot of us grew up being forced to make ourselves small, and it takes a lot of hard work to get to a point where you are not ashamed to take up space, even if it's just to deposit a check.

Pokemon Heritage Post

y’all my friend decided to investigate what was blocking their drain system and you are not prepared for the answer

i never draw for posts but something about this overtook me so sorry op

on 4chan's deathbed, if i had to pick i think my favorite ever greentext story is either white woman spotted, love me some pickles, or the one about the guy who goes to the club but doesn't know how to dance so he just pantomimes the reload animations from various video games, and basically any shaggy dog variation on "burst into treats" and "walk the dinosaur". i'm also 80% sure that all the "you're listening to [thing] radio (imagine dragons starts playing)" memes are derivative of an original greentext as well. and while not greentexts, who could forget "fun is a buzzword" breaking misanthropic video game discourse like a fault line finally shifting into an earthquake, "I'm straight so whatever makes my dick hard is a woman faggot" johnnybravo.png, and the ukranian guy who posted "on my fucking day off come on" on /pol/ the day that russia invaded.

FUCK THESE ONES ARE SO GOOD HOW DID I FORGET

wait nevermind sorry i just remembered my actual favorite. i think about this one all the goddamn time

Good quote but Karl Sharro calls gimmick infringement.

no I don't have "misophonia" I have the Princess's Temperament. now stop fucking chewing with your mouth open or you're going to the dungeon.

Hang on I gotta look something up

*sneaks across the border and declares sanctuary with a neighboring kingdom while you're distracted*

I no longer have to listen to chewing 👍

My collection

You can be talking to someone and she'll be like, "Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don't deserve voting rights teehee." And you'll be like, "What." And she'll be like, "Oh I'm sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it's this Tiktok meme where, if you're a girl and you do something dumb, you say 'Women don't deserve voting rights teehee.'"

And you'll be like, "That sounds bad." And she'll be like, "No no. It's totally not that bad. It's just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he'll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.'" And you'll be like, "Does that make it better?" And she'll be like, "Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn't vote' a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot."

And then you drop it there because like, you're harshing the vibe.

God this makes me think of this screenshot:

"it minimizes you as a person" really wraps up my entire discomfort with the whole "oh but i'm just a girl" thing when used in most situations.

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

The problem with pokemon is that if you've been playing it your whole life, you end up liking pretty much all of them eventually. Like I know exeggcute is just some eggs but. I've been seeing them since '98, on cute cards, in tv shows, and movies and games. Some eggs just living their best life. Some eggs are my friend.
