this was interesting and a little conviction to me because I think I (along with what i would assume to be a lot of people on this site) tend to be guilty of what I would call a sort of apathetic perfectionism, where in spite of a lack of actual effort to make positive changes and impact, I still claim that I hold myself to high standards and want to make the world a better place.

this doesn't even have to apply to morality or anything, even with school and work I find myself paralyzed at the thought of getting the wrong answer, instead of actively trying to find the right one. I never let myself progress or heal or learn or grow, just because I'm so terrified of making another wrong turn after a failure. I tell myself to wait, think, be responsible, don't chase after that yet, make sure you understand the whole thing before going in. and all the time I grow more irresponsible, foolish, and lazy.

we must pursue not the absence of death, but the furthering of life. we must chase the sun even as it reflects off the moon, and not wait until it's already noon.

the world is running out of glassblowers and yet you want to become a fucking doctor

Reblog for greater sample size.

I'm leaving for basic training tomorrow and it's just been this odd quiet sort of bittersweet. Like a sunset without the music. Singing happy birthday early bc i won't be in town when it rolls around was ridiculously sad, everyone started crying.

This isn't a particularly poetic or comedic post, just felt like it was something I should say while the emotions are still fresh.

My dad's in the bedroom trying to act like he's not about to cry, mom's not doing much better.

I'm not even nervous. Just a quiet, accepted sadness.

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

finally somebody said this

"nothing matters, so be kind to each other and make this meaningless world a better place"

so... the world would be better if people were kind? you made a value judgment on different types of worlds? you think people ought to be kind? you think kindness is good?

so you think that the world has value and significance? that some ways of life are better than others? that some things are genuinely good?

then why did you say nothing matters?

Mushoku tensei was legit one of the most messed up and disgusting shows I've ever seen. I managed to get through three episodes before quitting, it made me legitimately ill. Isekai has so much potential for meaningful storytelling and I hate how it's all just "basic mcblandboy: reborn into a world of teenage powerfantasy and pedophilia."

I hate how every season we get several shitty power fantasy isekais for the bros to jerk off to that are basically just “reincarnated dude is not strong until he suddenly is by the end of episode 1 also he has like 43 girls in his harem one of them is an actual child and the other is a cat girl and they all wanna bang him bc ofc they do” like come on😭😭😭😭 if you gonna release something shitty at least release a knk anime 😭😭😭
