‘your parents just want what’s best for you’ that is objectively not true for a lot of people, sometimes they want what’s best for them or what looks the best to other people, or what they think is best for you is based on outdated, backwards and messed up values & beliefs. even if their intentions aren’t bad doesn’t mean they even remotely know what’s good for you
the road to hell is paved with "What's best for you"
when sartre said "hell is other people" he failed to mention that heaven is also other people
Sartre said in 1971, “But that’s only that side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other.’ … Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven, on the other hand, is very simple—and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.”
just realized i don't think ive ever actually shared this piece? its two years old now, was supposed to just be a sketch but i always liked how it turned out. maybe ill redraw it for fun.
[I.D. A digital painting. It is done in shades of sepia in a semi-realistic style. It is of a run-down ballfield, a chain link fence visible in the distance. By the third base a white figure stands, glitching and chromatic. In the foreground a flock of crows with white eyes stare at the player, one screaming. End I.D.]
“i know a spot” takes you into my arms under a soft blanket
i will be redeemed; let all the ashes in my wake heam the blaseball seams /// when i'm the last one standing will you still be proud? brush off the ashes, screaming "next team, next team" [ID: Two images of the same digital drawing. Jaylen Hotdogfingers and Parker Macmillan from Blaseball stand, one upside down from the other. Jaylen closes her eyes, smiling, holding her hands to her chest that is bloody. Parker opens his eyes, looking upward, holding his neck hat is bloody. Jaylen has stitches all on her body. Parker has baseball stitches on his face and golden freckles. The background is lighter gray around Jaylen and darker around Parker. Smoke is at Jaylen's feet, and around Parker's head. Jaylen wears her Hall Stars uniform, and Parker wears his Vault Legends uniform. In the first image, Jaylen stands upright, and in the second, Parker stands upright. End ID.] (Hall Stars jersey design inspired heavily by fairchart, Parker design by @fresnelprism)

am i allowed to post this
ID: a two-panel comic of jaylen hotdogfingers and tillman henderson from blaseball. jaylen is a black woman with box braids and muscular arms. tillman is a white guy with long hair and a backwards baseball cap. the top of jaylen's uniform is unbuttoned and folded over her belt, exposing her bare chest and post-autopsy scars. jaylen is clearly uncomfortable with the scars being visible. tillman says "yo i like ur top surgery scars," and jaylen says "they're not top surgery scars..." tillman opens his unbuttoned shirt superman-style to reveal top surgery scars that say "pog champ" in lowercase cursive lettering. he tells jaylen "mine's cooler tho" and she responds with "WTF." /end ID

I finished this podcast like well over 2 months ago and I cannot stop thinking about it I want to relisten to it
“Sometimes I wish I could photosynthesize so that just by being, just by shimmering at the meadow’s edge or floating lazily on a pond, I could be doing the work of the world while standing silent in the sun.”

i hate language fr. partner feels to formal and established but girlfriendboyfriend are too gendery and anything else is i dont like it and they them is not me but nothing else is
You know that part in “RIV” on Discipline when the background singers in the chorus switch from “Hall. Flames. See your friends.” to them listing the Hallstars? That it’s suddenly “Boyfriend, Landry, Randall, Workman, Olive, Dom, Sebastian, Doyle. Sunshine, Kiki, Yasmin, Lotus, Emmett, Jaylen.”?
Yeah I’m really normal about that part and don’t tear up at all every time, who would do that?
Wrote something on main last night. Still having Blaseball Thoughts.
"you're not man enough, not feminine enough"
so gender is something we can fail?
that means gender is not genetic and absolute and unchangeable
but something we can build and perform, and fail at (the standards they set) but also redefine?
if i can fail at being a woman, does that mean i'm not a woman? so does that make me another gender?
i agonized for 15 minutes about the wording of my post and you manage to simplify it with a perfect mean girls reference
horny doesn’t always mean wanting to have sex. sometimes it means wanting to be beat up or stabbed or smth
i bet if walter white had tumblr hed be like "i am the one who blogs haha"

I didn't want to have to make this post, but deadlines are closing in and I don't have many options left.
My name is Walter White Junior, and my father was recently diagnosed with cancer. He's been battling for a few months now, and he wants us not to worry about him, but he can't keep pulling money out of nowhere. I've done the math, and I've estimated that he needs $12k to afford all the treatment he needs.
Any donations are appreciated! You can donate directly at my website, or donate on p@yp@l, under the username flynwyte.
