one of my favorite experiences in this fandom is being on my dash and coming across a long meta essay passionately analyzing characters and making points abc based on evidence xyz, reading it, and then scrolling down to find another meta essay directly below it that extensively and fervently argues the exact opposite
Me: -so after it became apparent that ‘retarded’ had become a term of abuse, educators and psychiatrists switched to other terms like ‘handicapped’ or ‘special needs’ in an attempt to -
George Orwell, whom I’ve dragged forward in time with my arcane powers because I’m lonely and want someone to talk to: You have a telephone in your pocket? It listens to you all the time?
Me: Never mind about that, the point is, young people now mock each other by sending the wheelchair emoji - that’s a type of electronic heiroglyph - to suggest mental deficiency and shout SPESHUL!!!! while doing offensive imitations of disabled facial expressions and posture. So any attempt to lexographically make crimethink impossible is pretty much doomed because the meaning of words in everyday conversation can’t be controlled by a dictionary entry, no matter how many Ministry of Truth employees-
Orwell: It reports your location to the telephone company at all times?
Look I can't make edits but the idea won't leave me alone so tumblr or tiktok do something about it
The "Feels like we had matching wounds" audio but before that is Gwen saying "Lets do this one more time" and it cuts between her peter dying and her dad pulling a gun, meanwhile Miles gives Ganke a fistbump and hugs his family
Followed by Miles saying "Lets do this one last time" and the audio repeats, but this time it's all of Miles' drawings and his graffiti wall cut with Gwen bragging about spider society and interacting with hobie and pavitr
Idk if I'm explaining it well visually but god it won't leave me alonee
I’m Still Here from Treasure Planet is absolutely an anthem to kids w/ learning disorders & abandonment issues
Puppet history x ghost files crossover where Shane and Ryan are investigating the puppet history set except whenever Shane leaves the set the professor appears and when Shane gets back the professor disappears, Shane doesn't believe in the professor and the professor doesn't believe in Shane and both are driving Ryan insane as usual
Lil drawings of ghosts based on some synonyms for ‘ghost’ & what vibes I get from each one.
okay but Techno saying his bit about reciprocity just sparks so much joy. we KNOW that Tommy has been repeatedly traumatized by Dream, he has adverse reactions every time he sees something that reminds him of exile, he gets confused every time he even thinks about Dream and his “friendship” with him, he repeatedly asks Techno for comfort whenever he thinks about Dream.
so Dream shows up, Dream who helped Techno escape death and rescue his horse, Dream who’s obviously trying to be on Techno’s side. Dream who brings up these things he’s done to help Techno in an effort to, what, guilt trip? manipulate? force Techno into telling him where Tommy is. direct quote from Dream in today’s stream: “I will say, y’know, you owe me, a little bit. But—“
and here goes Techno. “Ah, that’s true, that’s true. See Dream, you don’t, you don’t gotta worry Dream. I am a person that believes in absolute reciprocity.”
like.... what? at face value that’s such an interesting way for him to phrase that. just say, “yeah i owe you one.” instead, Techno uses his big language, his fancy speak, talkin about reciprocity.
cause Techno’s been around Tommy. he knows how messed up Tommy is over Dream. he doesn’t know exactly what Dream has done to Tommy, not at all, but he knows a bit about it. and he completely covers for Tommy to Dream because Dream has no fuckin right to be asking after Tommy and Techno knows it.
Techno might owe Dream for the save, but it’s not a reciprocal action for Techno to rat out a traumatized teenager to someone who’s been manipulating them. Techno’s really growing on me y’all.
