imagine spending months of your life stalking and mass reporting the same handful of girls over and over again. you have to hunt down their blogs, every time. what do you think you're some kind of noir film hardboiled detective? you're a pack of pathetic losers harassing women. leave the angel and aria and co alone for fucks sake
Vox is very tired and Val is VERY satisfied.
And even though his arm is cramping, that managing the pen and the cigarette is difficult, he won't move... Not yet.
Girlfriend went all out dressed me up in its patterned tights plus a scene goth over-accessorized short plaid skirt and graphic tshirt which both belong to its girlfriend (special added NTR flavour) plus prior lore striped fingerless gloves and a collar with name tag from PetSmart that has the name i was given during an elaborate months long doll tf roleplay scenario that is still ongoing and then i got taken out in public like that and honestly i was kinda ditzed out enough i wasn't even that shy about it so I think I've probably made it though i have no clue what 'it' means here.
You Have To Break The Boymoder. By Any Means Necessary.
It is still wild to me that I legitimately have to research in a bikini in order to effectively collect data.
And the reason being is that people (of all genders equally) perceive me as a threat otherwise.

Threat vs not a threat
People have said before that they are concerned I’m gonna get them in trouble, but I think the real reason folks get mean is that tourists effectively enter a liminal space when they go on vacations (especially American tourists on tropical vacations) and they don’t want anything to pull them out of that mindset.
So when I show up with a clipboard and wanting to talk while wearing an outfit that clearly says “I’m working, but not in any sort of position that exists in your vacation fantasy,” that pulls them out of the fantasy and they react negatively.
Meanwhile, if I’m dressed the same way everyone else is, even if I have a clipboard and want to talk about the same thing, I automatically become a wacky NPC who is part of the fantasy.
I no longer hear “It’s really weird that you’re just out here watching people” but instead “You get to lay on the beach all day and call it “work?” Hell yeah! Living the dream!”
People from outside central Florida cannot comprehend the chokehold Joey Fatone has on the people of Orlando.
i lived in Orlando for years and i am absolutely delighted to say I have no idea who this is!!
You don't know Joey Fatone?! Joey Fatone from international boy band *NSYNC?!?!
Everyone's dad has had a night at the bar with Joey Fatone
He was the biggest sponsor of (and frequent collaborator with) the Rocky Horror Shadowcast Company we went to every year.
Joey Fatone could be Mayor but he lets Buddy Dyer do the job
the floating head of wisdom
Please don't fall victim to internet misinformation. There is no floating head. It's a regular horse, it's neck is just hidden due to the position of the camera. I made an image to help you understand the what's actually going on.
Thank you for the clarification
Standard sword and sorcery fantasy film periodically interrupted by cutaways to an in-universe historian from a notional period hundreds of years after the depicted events explaining the film's various historical inaccuracies. There's a recurring tangent about how the film's protagonist is a conflation of three different guys, all of them much weirder than the end product of that conflation.
At one point the historian remarks that the film's principal villain probably never existed, but you can tell from their thousand-yard stare that there's some Poe's Orangutan level discourse about that topic.
Honestly would love to see a King Arthur movie with this framework.
Still thinking about this.
Except now I’m envisioning:
Standard King Arthur movie with the usual ‘back in the 6th century…’ establishing blub, which looks a little odd because it started with a specific year, which was crossed off and replaced by another, which was also crossed off and replaced by ‘~6th century, give or take’ along with a few other editorial addendums.
Opens with Uther and Merlin discussing the siege of Tintagel. Things go smoothly until Uther’s name is used, cue the first interruption to explain that Uther was probably an ‘invention’ of Geoffrey of Monmouth, but then that academic is interrupted by a Geoffrey apologist (possibly yours truly) to defend his work with a complicated spiel that gets interrupted by the actor who plays Merlin insisting ‘we should get back to the story’
What follows slowly unravels into a poorly disguised academic debate mediated by the Merlin actor as the voice of ‘well I was actually There!’ And it slowly becomes clear that not only does he genuinely believe he’s Merlin, but his version of the story is absolutely the most unhinged and least academically supported version and relies largely on the French Romances for some reason*.
*the reason being that this is an accurate representation of many fans, who hold the Romance era as the ‘Cannon’ for King Arthur even knowing it is not the ‘Historical’ or even ‘Original’ narrative.
A lot of these elements were in Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I do not feel that Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail was overly concerned with presenting an accurate summary of the historiography of the Arthurian mythos.
one must imagine a disabled angel with wing atrophy 🙏
stretching its wings out to help with the soreness, digging your thumbs into the tense muscles to work out the knots. nevermind that the angel's squirming around under you like it's about to cum, this is important for its health you can't stop now
Folks are really out there arguing that generative AI represents the death of truth in advertising like we haven't spent decades watching TV commercials pour motor oil on pancakes because real syrup doesn't look like what people expect syrup to look like.
I think what the present discourse about generative AI in advertising really highlights is that a concerning number of people genuinely have no idea how far removed your average TV spot is from the reality of whatever it's trying to sell you. Like, I don't just mean camera tricks and good lighting – I mean that more often than not, the thing on screen simply objectively does not depict the thing you're buying. We're trading one maliciously deceptive simulacrum for another.
Even tho that's technically true, I still think the art of making fake food is still cool and shouldn't be replaced with AI
I think when discussing the evils of the Lying To You In Increasingly Intrusive Ways industry, the artistic integrity of the medium they're using to lie to you is a deeply silly thing to be concerned about tbh.
it's still a neat art form that is in danger of being lost
Nobody is stopping me from pouring motor oil on pancakes and taking a picture of it as an art project if I want.
Lets just take our armor off and see what happens
