TIK TOK MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE IT DESTROYS LANGUAGE
Ok, unless something’s going on I’m not aware of (extremely likely), I gotta point out the term “Pet Play” is significantly older than Tik Tok, or most of its userbase for that matter.
Yeah, I’m not mad about using the term “pet play”. That’s a perfectly fine term. I’m mad because they didn’t use that term: they used “pet p!ay”, a censored version
Oh. Oh gawd I missed that. Objection withdrawn, that is objectively terrible.
To anybody who is new to posting on ao3, if you’re using a tag you have to use the correct spelling of that tag. People aren’t going to type in every version of a censored word to hide or look for your content 
For everyone new to tumblr, the same rule applies to tumblr too.
You cannot censor your tags! Censored tags cannot be block or filtered. Censoring tags HARMS your audience, it does not protect them
posting this on twitter will get you put into witness protection
The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.
Video game easter eggs that trigger when cheats are detected
Numbers stations
ARGs that never reveal a product being promoted
Deep web sites that don’t seem to be selling anything
Glitch pokemon
A telephone number with no context in an unexpected place
TempleOS and Timecube and other staggering monuments to net psychosis
TV broadcast interruptions
messages hidden in programs not intended to be found

If reading this post does to you what writing it did to me (tears in your eyes, a knot of fear and anticipation in your stomach just thinking about it) please contact me asap so that we may have a May wedding
I particularly love Saria because she’s the hypothetical Hip Square from the song.
Absolute failwoman supreme in a most scathing, tragic way. Strong, intelligent, successful in work matters. Her life is full of regrets and an unending trail of pitfalls. Her rock-solid work ethic creates misunderstandings often. She does not allow herself to trust. She has the smarts and the strength, all acquired by her own merit, to achieve anything she wants. She has achieved very little that matters to her. What she has achieved, she’s seen rot from the inside. She’s the most divorced woman in the world. She’s a good, loving person. Few know this. She has so much potential, even now. She keeps tripping on new stones with every step.
I want to see her succeed so much. I want to see her sink much lower. I want to see her rip herself out of the swamp and into the light.
watch out with your joke phrases lest you too become the sort of person whose instinctive default greeting is “hail and well met” and whose default goodbye is “smell you later”
The tags on my whiteness post said to me that white people (at least those that are racially aware) and colonized natives perhaps have more in common than most people think. Or at least more than they talk about it in public.
Not that they’re the same. Misogyny and transphobia are not the same, but they are both veins of oppression in a patriarchy. Similar.
In the same way, that empty hollowness white ppl feel where your culture should be is not unlike what I feel as a native, from what I’ve read of your accounts. Learning your ancestors chose whiteness and safety and comfort over culture and identity. That now you have nothing because of the colonization and assimilation your grandparents experienced when they got to the USA. Because of whiteness. Because of the power it has even just as a concept in the US.
We experience these for much different reasons and at least your loss bought you privilege.
… but they aren’t total opposites either. A hollowness where you know rich history used to be? Having culture but feeling a disconnect where you know More used to be? Feeling like you only have scraps of the culture your family used to have? Clinging to what you can get your hands on? Feeling like it’s so detached that it’s not really yours?
I get that and I bet I’m not the only one.
The USA’s habit for white supremacy, racism, and colonization hurt all of us.
And it will benefit all of us to discard the systems those things built. They’re still there and still hurting every one of us.
We can build a future that benefits us all instead as soon as we all start working on that together.
But we can’t do that if some of us refuse to admit the system is what’s hurting us. If we refuse to acknowledge that even with perfect politicians our Systems would still prevent progress because they are built on outdated and white supremacist ideals we’ll just continue to suffer together under those systems instead.
We can’t keep attacking each other just because some of us refuse to look at the ideologies fueling our current reality.
I was thinking recently about how “alt” subcultures are so aestheticized now but they used to be much more about your societal views than the clothes you wore or even the bands you listened to, and my brain connected some dots. Idk if this is anything
sorry for veggieangelism but really you can put pretty much any veg in the oven for 20 minutes at 400 covered in olive oil, salt, pepper, onion+garlic powder and have it be good
