My most referenced meme is actually this sign from a furniture store's going out of business sale in my hometown.

here's the image without the screenshot

I love thinking I'm a hater and then meeting a real hater and going wow that does not look fun actually. Going back to my lukewarm hater ways. Performative haterdom. I couldn't name five hater bands.

no one says "ive read enough hentai to know where this is going" anymore

because they dont read enough hentai

so they dont know where its going

nobody knows anything anymore.

our day

yesterday I had the thought "visual novel for normal people" (?) and halfway through making this image (which I thought would be really funny) I realized it was completely meaningless

"Do it scared" is out. "Do it in a fugue so dense as to barely be penetrable by uncertainty" is in.

artist dude: Women are so insane and incomprehensible and mysterious...their ways are fascinating to me A regular human being and every time I write about them I delve into an alien world, fascinating and frightening

women in real life: Hey man how's it going

Unironically I think the early to mid 20s age group in America has unbelievably bad consent boundaries on all levels and so much language to defend it but this makes me sound like elon musk if I say it however the commonality of someone who will be like “I had 47 panic attacks and it’s your fault” if you tell them no is insane

I rejected someone and got called “the scariest person I’ve ever met” with so much therapy speak interspersed like alright okay alright okay alright okay

“You just say whatever you’re thinking and I don’t know how to handle it” was verbatim part of this conversation. Also everyone hates to see an autistic bitch

When I was in this age bracket, there was a huge emphasis on improving consent culture via graceful rejection, and it's gone by the wayside. Which sucks.

Twice in my youth (once in high school and once in college) I was in situations where I was asking someone out and I could tell they were calculating in their heads the risks of rejecting me, and both times I said, out loud, "you can say no, I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't prepared for either answer." And then they said no. This wasn't some spark of special wisdom I had - I knew to do it because feminist conversations among my age group brought it up regularly. This isn't happening nearly enough anymore.

More recently, I was really glad when we got to "rejection sensitive dysphoria" in my IOP program and it was one of those symptoms where the therapists really emphasized how it affects others. Because it does.

Being someone who cannot handle rejection makes you much more likely to violate boundaries, and yes, that includes sexual ones. Yes, you, reader who has never hurt a fly. If you don't want to stumble backwards into sexually assaulting someone, fix your RSD meltdowns. If you keep them up it's only a matter of time. Because if you're nice enough to interact with, but are known to have RSD meltdowns, guess what happens when your friends and acquaintances need to reject you?

Aw, how sweet, they have seating for your pet Pokemon, with little steppies for the teeny ones! How adorable! It's so lovely that this city is so considerate of Pokemon!

I wonder how well they treat the homele-

oh.

Frankly, creating entire blogs dedicated to posting screenshots of every single thing someone else posts is the scariest shit. It literally doesn't matter what that person is posting, spending your time being an unpaid, dork ass, pig-wannabe, monitoring everything someone else does on here, all with the infuriating smol bean affect...

You are the dangerous person.

you guys have to get more weird. it's genuinely not hurting anyone. get weirder. get horny and sexual with it. get violent, get horrifying, get scared, get sad.
