you think YOUR hyperfixations are bad? every single one of my friends from my childhood absolutely loathes the film ‘robots’ because at every playdate and sleepover i attended when i was 7 i’d force them to put it on whenever we watched a movie together, despite also watching it by myself almost every single day. i must have seen it at least a hundred times, i was genuinely that obsessed.

my friends: please……….please can we watch something, ANYTHING else that isn’t-

me:

Gen z culture is talking about your mental illnesses thtlat have actually been fucking diagnosed and adressing the issues they cause you while your mother says That’s stupid and it’s bullshit or to just get over it

ive been thinking and honest to god: i think i would actually join a girl gang if the offer came. like a legitimate, hierarchical, “let’s carry knives under our skirts and beat up men” gang. fuck college

bringing back the sukeban girl gangs from the 70’s that wore long skirts against teen sexualization and fucked things up for the patriarchy

and look, of course i know that “violence is bad” and “not the answer” and that obviously this isn’t the route to go down. i know. but you can at least appreciate the fact that these girls did what they did out of anger of their limited state and actively acted against it. they hated the overly traditional clothes they were forced to wear so they personalized them. they made them something they could be proud of.

a lot of these girls came from the working class, where all the men that they knew were allowed to do the things they wanted and voice their feelings, and they wanted that.

everything was a boys-only club, so they made their own girls-only club. equality to them meant giving girls the chance to be rowdy and devious and make mistakes, just as all the boys did.

they didn’t want to be perfect schoolgirls, they just wanted to live.

obviously the times has changed. fighting for equality is more complex than its ever been. but this was one specific take on one specific problem between the female/male community. allowing “boys to be boys” but not giving an inch of room for girls to be girls.

gangs aren’t the answer, but girls supporting girls is. the way they did it wasn’t ideal, but i’m not gonna stop appreciating these girls cause everyone here thinks they’re too good and pure to understand why they made the choices they made.

me, a lesbian, mistaking a nice twink for a nice butch lesbian: [gives him the lesbian nod]

him, a twink, mistaking me for a twink: [gives me the gay once over]

me, a sensitive dyke: [calls an uber and spends the whole time misty eyed, wondering why this nice butch would look me over like i wasn’t a HUMAN BEING, like i was something to be gawked at. i ignore my Uber driver’s attempt at small talk, staring out the window and questioning everything i know about life, meaning, and the pursuit of lesbianism]

him, a confused gay: [stares at the space this twink just vacated, completely floored. a nod. does he think this is a game. does he think this is a joke. this isn’t a PTA meeting where you nod at your old friend but also secret enemy Brenda from across the room. was i not even worth the once over. have i lost my game. what does this mean]

Maybe this is what the straights mean when they say we’re confused.

Early Spongebob was a perfect combination of strong writing, great animation and hilarious voice acting that wasn’t very common back then. Most cartoons had two outta three, but Spongebob was the whole package.

They had locked you up without ever once trying to find out the truth. It had been a tragedy, a horrific one that would stain peoples minds for many years to come. Such a violent murder deserved to be punished. They should have searched for the true killer, should have actually tried to make an investigation. But they had appearances to keep up, and this murder was a blight on their record. So they needed a scapegoat.

They came with no warning, and gave no explanations, claiming that they had irrefutable proof of your guilt. They chose you because you were a nobody, someone that few would miss, in their minds. You were nothing but a get away free card for their ineptitude. Due to your “horrible deeds” you were being sent straight to prison before the trial, a “just in case” measure, they claimed.

They threw you in the deepest darkest prison they could find, in the hopes that you would be killed by the powerful prisoners they housed there. The prison was filled with the worst of the worst. Creatures of supernatural abilities, who’s abilities were too great to be set free on the world, and were thus locked away for their nature’s. 

They expected you to be torn apart, an attempt to silence you before you could be put on the stand, without any ties to the culling themselves. They hadn’t expected you to survive the months they delayed the trial, and certainly hadn’t expected you to make friends.

By the time the date of the hearing was only a few days away, you were ready. When you put so many powerful entities in one place, show them cruelty for so long, simply because of their nature, its funny just how readily they attach themselves to genuine kindness.

You weren’t what you were when you first entered that prison, thanks to your new friends. You had found a kinship there that you hadn’t expected, and in return for your genuine kindness, they gifted you things, that no humans had ever been gifted with. Not all at once at least. 

When you left, you would be ready. Your new friends had been locked up long enough for simply existing… perhaps it was time that changed.
