The video camera is plugged into the VCR, allowing it to record itself being poked and prodded.
GIF’d version of Vide-Uhhh! (2005)
you are literally so so so right you’re the most correct ever
This is like a foundational @is-this-yuri type text to me
I agree with the tags that the energy here is almost sexual. If the camera were sentient, allowing this kind of interaction would be a big sign of trust. Our urge to personify pretty much anything speaks to the human ability to connect on an emotional level with inanimate objects. Though the connection is one-sided, it is still real. There are real emotions behind the viewing of such a video. Through our ability to personify, we see implied human behavior everywhere. This is one of the foundations of Miyazawan yuri.
Maybe it reminds you of something? The choice of words here, ‘poked and prodded’ is perhaps an intentional reference to the kind of physical contact that produces erratic responses like what we see on screen. Even if it wasn’t the original intention, these gifs undeniably bring up familiar feelings.
Despite there being no girls in this post, the static and glitchy artifacts could be interpreted as feminine responses to being touched. Despite the potentially destructive nature of dropping and scraping, it doesn’t seem vulgar or baseless, but quite trusting and intimate. These actions are done with care and intent, as if experimenting or sometimes trying to produce a specific result. It bleeds love, and implies a deep emotional connection. It’s not difficult to imagine that this interaction between VHS camera and human hand could be yuri.
Conclusion: This is yuri.
“I don’t think that I accepted that I wasn’t gonna die young until I was 26 or 27. I really don’t think I fully…when I was 14, 15, 16, 17–I mean I knew as sure as I know that I am wearing green shoes that I was going to die before much happened. It was a certainty for me. And I had shaken off the directly suicidal urge by the time I was 21 or 22, but I still was pretty sure I was going to die pretty young, it really felt like an inevitability. It takes a long time to realize no, you’ve changed…if you shared those feelings with people at some point you go, ‘well, I guess we’re going to stick around.’ And it’s a funky thing to admit because there’s a part of your inner younger self that kind of judges you for that.”
John Darnielle fucking me up with the single most relatable thing he’s ever said

reminds me of when he was about to play werewolf gimmick in 2015 and
“[Audience member: Live hard, die young!] Yeah, it’s a little too late for that, man. It’s easy for you to say. I have news for you: sometimes… sometimes it turns out the slogan you didn’t know you were living by was ‘live hard, live long.’ The slogan begins to stretch: ‘live hard, live long, feel pain, go on. Wake up, keep going, keep going, keep going. Grow old, keep going, outlive all friends, last man alive, unending desert, so many stars, limitless, endless stars, throne standing alone in the desert, and yourself [inaudible]…'”
was it normal in grade school to be tracked with a daily behavior sheet that denoted whether you were good or bad in different areas at different times of day or was that just a special ed thing
me, seven years old, looking at my behavior report sheet nearly entirely filled with little plusses: "wow, i got a good grade in Behavior"
there was a long period where i learned how to be a good dog, and I started getting all plusses regularly. i remember it exclusively as a haze of fear and dissociation, i think the time i had the police called on me was after my 'good' streak. dogs trained not to growl won't be able to let you know they're upset until they explode and bite you
the school i attended after that one, when i was 9 or 10, they had a differently structured but identical process in purpose, except worse because they actually sat you down and told you what your kindness score was from 1 to 3 and gave little beads out to reward good behavior that you could cash in for sweets and dollar store toys. that's also the school that gave me a bruise on my neck. i might go back to believing in god so i can imagine they'll end up in hell
Watching across the spiderverse today was a spiritual experience. These two stole my heart
not twst but i watched spiderverse a few days ago, absolutely loved it ( also Pavitr my son…!!☀️)
it's so funny that pavitr was like: "look. the secret identity thing is incredibly important to me, HOWEVER, putting my hair in a mask would be a crime. it's my best feature!!!" and therefore is the most conspicuous spider imaginable. whether this is due to vanity or stupidity is yet to be determined
Ok ok ok I'm getting emotional. Lemme be corny for a minute..they had an Indian spiderman. A whole superhero who is INDIAN. Not a sidekick. Not a tech guy. A hero. Who does hero things!!! And is unabashedly, whole heartedly desi. His world is desi without being tragedy porn. Like yes show us Bombay traffic! Show us ads for zomato!!! And aunty ke saath shaam ki chai! Show us people pilled on a scooter with no regard for safety!!! Pavitr Prabhakar is amazing and I love him with my entire little desi heart.
“Being Spider-Man is so easy! I wake up, skip the workout because I’m naturally buff and I don’t wanna get too big, ya know?”

"Girl" is completely removed from the concept of Being Female in my mind at this point it's barely even connected to femininity girl is about the vibe. Girl is a mindset
Baffling
