The Tumblr Experience
does anyone have that tweet that’s like “talking to the ace hardware employee: gonna remodel an old brownstone by myself can I get the fisher price tool kit and stupid white paint”
THATS EXACTLY IT THANK YOU SO MUCH
my parasocial relationship is better and more ethical and less gauche and passé than yours

I go to youtube. Cute animal videos are AI now. I go to instagram. There are AI influencers. I go to spotify. It’s flooded with AI bands and music. I go to ebay. Every product is AI. I open netflix. Every movie has AI. I watch TV. All commercials are AI. I cancel all my suscriptions. The customer support is AI. I buy a book. It is written by AI. I talk to my friends. They tell me that AI is their new therapist. I take the subway. Some dude is talking to his AI girlfriend next to me. I go to the beach. The sunset is real. I take a pic and upload it. The photo is enhanced with AI. You can’t opt out.
“when did we all become so performative” idk man when the threat of being recorded at any time and posted for milions to see without your knowledge became normalised.
Never occured to me I could just buy one

Why my cheese taste like lightning
*grabbing mlm shippers by the shoulders* guys nobody needs to be the twink. nobody needs to be the sub. nobody needs to be the femboy. they can both be big fat hairy men who bask in each others masculinity or they can both be unspeakable monstrous creatures with inhuman genitalia it’s okay I’m holding your hand. Let me show you the way
The thing about Pacific Rim is that it’s an allegorical fairytale.
The Jaegers are an allegory for the things we can’t do alone without burning ourselves out. Yeah, it’s possible to pilot a Jaeger solo for awhile. But nobody can last the whole fight. If you try, you will collapse under the strain sooner or later. You will die.
The drift is about the necessity of making yourself vulnerable to someone, letting another person in, so you can lift this otherwise impossible burden together. Because if we isolate ourselves, if we don’t face the mortifying ordeal of being known, we will change nothing, and we will die alone.

every time i remember tumblr exists as a platform i scroll through your thor tag like its the daily newspaper and i just wanted to say how much i LOVE your human thor raised in a cult idea it’s so perfect
Glad to still be providing enjoyable Thor content in 2026. The brainworms have not only won, they have taken over and settled in comfortably.
