Fuck YouTube To Hell

Not unreality, not a joke-

In addition to Google/YouTube’s support for American fascism, YouTube constantly recommends racist and transphobic videos, advertises medical scams, and uses AI to modify user videos without permission. As such I will not be using it further. Some of my video-embedded fact posts will no longer work as a result, sorry.

All my videos have been deleted from this atrocity of a site, you can view my movies like Jealous Gods only on Vimeo, here is my channel-

And then that note becomes the opening of the novel.

sometimes you try nine different starts while writing a scene and then verbatim type [[bitch just come back once you remember how to write]] into the document and move on

And then that note becomes the opening of the novel.

Many are graphics, too and here is my favorite. I have no memory of why I have (made?) it.

2026 booktok discourse: sad books are a cognitohazard (they make you sad)

unfortunately some people on twitter are very literally already there

Same genre I fear

The ideal book is 500 blank pages which act as a safe space that allows the reader full control over the narrative without running the risk of nonconsentually forcing their train of thought or violating their cognitive boundaries

I’m not even that far in this book and already I can totally believe that story about Mishima having a hands free orgasm from performing mock seppuku

It’s funny that if Mishima had been into like inflation instead of classically-tinged homoerotic S&M his internal struggles would have been almost exactly the same but he could’ve never published a book about it. Wouldn’t have the same grandeur despite filling a similar structural role.

I always feel like that’s a problem with movies that want to show a sinking into sexual excess or wrestling with their sexuality – it’s a visual medium so they have to present it in a way that doesn’t look ridiculous, absurd, or just lame, but most real world examples are exactly that!

For a moment I was like… SEQUEL IDEA???

homunculus-argument:

Imagine unexpectedly popping up in Valhalla with your pants around your ankles because just half a minute ago you were taking a shit so bad that the Viking gods decided that it should count as dying in battle.

Isn’t it even worse? You don’t just pop up there. You get carried there by a Valkyrie.

You’re experiencing a gastrointestinal event, and are really not having a good time, and the suddenly, without any logical way to be present there’s a Winged Woman in there with you, in Armor, with Weapons and Helmet, who looks like she could take down Sandor Clegane or Geralt of Rivia in the 10 minutes before waking up, just plugs you from your porcelain throne and doesn’t even gives you the chance to pull up your pants before carrying you off.

Elvis, pantsless, being carried from the mortal realm by a huge gorgeous Brawnhilda valkyrie: oh woah pretty mama where we going
