for the first time in a long, long time, a no-gimmick, straight-up top 100 topster. was surprised by how much more difficult it was than the last time i did it!!!
honestly so funny that one man’s obsession with 70s progressive rock has infiltrated basically all of japanese culture so that there are now unintentional emerson lake and palmer references in dark souls and pink floyd references in danganronpa. i aspire to that kind of power
a friend cured me of this by just staying completely silent every time i did it so i had to sit with what i just said and why i had said it. it was really funny
since this got five billion likes i feel compelled to point out that omelas is not about how fucked up it would be to torture a child but is instead about how fucked up it is that we as readers and human beings can’t even imagine a utopia that doesn’t run on suffering
After another rebrand to The Achillean Boy (because man can’t help but use the same Greek mythology branding as Telos), he began going on tiktok, first using AI voices and emoji avatars before finally using his actual face and voice, which is how others discovered it was him

it's incredible to read the chapter back over and realize you see him doing it but it happens with so little fanfare that you probably didn't even register that he was doing anything
i mean of course prog rock was huge in japan throughout the 70s and many influential japanese artists and composers were directly inspired by it in the decades that followed but jojo’s might as well be the weeb monomyth everything that came after directly springs from it
you were probably mis-taught it in high school so it’s worth going back and reading it again because the real message—how can we strive for a world without suffering if we can’t even imagine it?—is pretty important and far more interesting to think about than “is torture bad?”

while i think $8 is a fair price, it definitely will look like money grubbing unless you add some small extra shit to the game (could even be like an extras folder with demos or soundtrack stuff or w/e)

i had an rpg character like this except he was an old west gunslinger so he drew and fired his gun by kicking it and it could transform into a pogo stick he could use to basically fly
just found out m parents have deliberately re-enabled motion smoothing on the living room tv after i turned it off because they think it makes movies look better im gonna be sick
the disappointment i feel at everyone going "futurama reference!!!" not knowing that the futurama bit was a reference to the king in yellow which predicted this in 1895
An assisted suicide pod that passed an independent legal review showing it complies with Swiss law.
At the push of a button, the pod would fill with nitrogen gas, rapidly lowering oxygen levels and killing the user.

at one point when i knew it was going to be taking a picture i opened up our discord chat and started typing for a really long time but didn’t send anything just to fuck with it
every dumbass saying “wow this must be so painful for the poor horse” seemingly hasn’t watched the video because the horse is standing completely still and letting it happen
neurotypical abled cis men who help feed the homeless are better people than disabled autistic trans women who murder babies. pay no attention to why i might be drawing this equivalency
some of y’all will see a tweet like “i think it’s weird to fuck yoyr cousin” and reply “but my cousin and i didnt even know each other growing up so it’s fine for us right 🥺” like who is forcing you to say anything just fuck your cousin in peace why do you need twitters approval

But there are other reasons than complacency that obstruct people from coming out: living with parents, an abusive home situation, access to employment/healthcare, etc. The film seems to say that those people live utterly empty and pathetic lives, which is both cruel and untrue
update: it was only difficult because the pharmacy gave me the wrong size of needle. tried again with 25g and it was completely fine and didn't hurt or make me bleed at all
Ethel Cain responds to Joe Biden sending support to the Israeli military:
“we need to bring back assassinations…billionaires and politicians should be strung up in the street because what the hell is going on. and we can't even have a revolution because our terroristic military
that's cool. anyways, i love superhero movies and fantasy movies or just purely fictional. theyre better than "real cinema movies"
i rather watch a movie thats about superheroes or something that doesnt exist than watching a movie thats boring news or old history
sorry not sorry, not going to care about larry david because i grew up with an alcoholic, psychologically abusive father in constant state of distress, anxiety and worry about the future. hearing the key in the door every evening was my own larry david for almost 20 years
this here’s katana. she’s got my back. she could cut all you in half with one sword stroke just like mowing the lawn. i would advise not being killed by her… her sword traps the souls of its victims.

this is the moment that took me from "really? they're gonna go on for another season? what's the point without gus?" to "SEASON FIVE LET'S FUCKING GO I'M GONNA START RIGHT FUCKING NOW"

Can you guys not do this? It's not you, it's my character. It's ok to relate to his looks, vibes and be inspired, but this feels a bit invading. Am i wrong for feeling this?🥲
