DO GOOD RECKLESSLY

@somespaceman / somespaceman.tumblr.com

I have been here for ten years either this site goes or I do. I don’t make the rules.

spending most of my formative years with multiple flavors of ocd that I've managed to get a lot better from is really funny in the specific situation that something confronts me with a "difficult question" I'm supposed to have never considered. little do they know I already did my time pondering it obsessively between the ages of 7 and 13. and in most cases I came to the conclusion "well it depends" or "yeah that would be fucked up. I hope it doesn't happen but if it does I'll cross that bridge when I get there"

when the media property hits you with an existential question that is supposed to be really scary to even ask, but you already spent years thinking about it obsessively

"People defining their own genders around a made-up false binary are just buying into nonsense. I will be the voice of reason by creating a false binary made of my own incredibly specific bullshit, which is somehow straightforward and rational"

In a frenzied fit of anxiety induced insomnia I’ve decided to redownload tumblr which I used to use as like an online diary of sorts which wasn’t healthy for me or the people I’d developed parasocial relationships with probably so now I’m hoping to write more like a reasonable adult instead of a teenager approaching adulthood. This site has been the source of great joy and pain for me and so many people and I feel like there could be books or dissertations made on the toxicity that bred from this site in the early 2010’s. But that same toxicity I see play out now on parts of twitter and TikTok. People engaging with identity politics as a form of self righteous outrage but not for the good of the people marginalized but for the sake of assuaging their egos and need to be “right”. Or even more extreme, right-wing detractors mocking or parroting leftist taking points to devalue important issues. Think the whole thing with Santa should be a woman, or other made up campaigns that the right crusades against. I’m digressing at this point but I’m extremely tired and probably not getting any real sleep before work today so of course I need to share my thoughts into this weird echo chamber.

“Thin brows are back in” “skinny jeans are back” “wolfcuts are out” “this style of eyeshadow is soo trendy right now” “big asses are out, slim figures are in”

Hey do you guys ever make your own decisions or form your own ideas on how you would personally like to look that’s not based around what’s currently being sold to you. Is that not possible

there’s obviously a lot of nuance to to this conversation, but I feel like the way that people nowadays talk about friendships is so cold and devoid of love or empathy. like you aren’t allowed to complain or be sad, ur burdening ur friends with ur problems, helping someone through a hard time is ‘emotional labour’ and ‘you don’t owe anyone anything’ and I’m just thinking what does friendship even mean to you then? like honestly? people say ‘I’m not your therapist’ as if therapy is the answer to everything. what a sad world where a paid clinician is the only person you’re allowed to be emotionally vulnerable with. this ultra individualistic mindset leads to everyone feeling alone and isolated and we’ve lost all concept of community and support systems

I hate driving because you have to do everything perfectly as fast as possible or everyone around you will announce their displeasure with airhorns

oh and if you mess up you die and kill a bunch of people at the same time

LITERALLY like disarming a bomb except there’s a peanut gallery watching you and they’ve each got an airhorn and also another bomb

Dead End: Paranormal Park | How to draw Norma

Norma was hard to get right in the design process, but once we figured her out she was so much fun to draw. She looks a little different to the version of Norma in the books, but I like to think this show is almost that version's origin story. In the show, Norma is still quite bright eyed and innocent, whereas when we meet her in the book she's quite jaded and downbeat, more like the Norma we see towards the second half of Season 2.
