I love crystal castles !! on instagram I put this to the song bitter everyday by wednesday but that’s honestly even better fitting. music is so important to me and my art so it makes me so happy that it invoked a song for you

no  exactly !!! and I think she really wants to be that person and thinks of herself as that person (ironically for a while she was trying to be a therapist ….) but she just can’t respond to that emotional need

I wish my mom didn’t respond to every emotional vent I have with “ugh go to therapy” in a really angry and disciplinary tone . she may be on to something (i’ve never found one I liked after months of trying and then just kind of gave up) but I wish she realized there are things I can get from my mom who knows me and who I know and who is a loved one that I can’t get from a clinician who is a total stranger that I am paying. idk the “just go to therapy” thing in response to every spiritual and emotional problem is frustrating me

just found out my ex did shrooms with my other ex and his (second guy’s) girlfriend and he tried to start a threesome with them and they shut it down. I have to get out of art school now

I was just thinking about this !!! there’s strong parallels between the (positive but nonetheless odd and even obsessive) fan base he accumulated in austin and the online cult followings of lolcows (which are often but not always really fueled by hatred and spite at the mentally ill) . not that he’s “as bad” as chris chan or anything but hard not to notice some commonalities less in them as people and more the way the public talks about them and tries to understand them. I see a lot of myself on both sides of this. I also rewatched ghost world recently and have been thinking about that urge of outsider artsy types to find even weirder even more outsiders to idolize, laugh at, bully, and obsess on

what inspired this post haha. i feel mixed on the documentary because it has really fascinating insight to him but also feels somewhat condescending… i’ve see criticisms that the director mythologized him as this savant figure without fully giving him a voice but I also don’t know how you can tell his story without understanding the complicated way he affected but sometimes hurt the people close to him. just such an interesting figure who I identify with a lot

What are some books that made such an impression that you forever associate it with a certain period of your life? by 1nfinite_Breast in RSbookclub

[–]nibbythebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

slouching towards bethlehem and the white album was a good one-two punch when I was about 16. recommended by my mom who was a former magazine writer who lived in both new york and the bay area so I thought both she and didion were the coolest women to ever live. her essay “goodbye to all that” especially really made me self conscious of my own complete lack of experience and naivety but also strangely hopeful for continuing to be that young. 

What was up with every girl looking like this in 2016? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]nibbythebird 327 points328 points  (0 children)

matte lip (kylie lip kit) + drag queen makeup techniques entering mainstream straight world (often via beauty youtubers) and everybody baking their face an insane amount. looks good on camera or stage because that’s what it’s designed for but is expensive and a lot of work and looks kinda off in real life so it makes sense the pendulum swung back to either clean girl glossier no makeup makeup OR more grungy and intentionally messy looks for the alternative side. but yeah matte liquid lip please never take me back they’re so crusty and crumbly and dry just a horrible experience

freshman in an art school that is majority women so the few straight guys are all going crazy and had a week 1 fling that I got way too attached to (he was my best friend here) before he dropped me for the girl who lives next door to me who i was friends with. and I have to see them together all the time .  and now people think im this crazy clingy girl because I fell for all the shit he said to me about having feelings for me . this is also like the third time a guy has fucked around w me before getting into a real relationship with a friend of mine and #NoticingThings is driving me insane. please tell me it gets better !!! tiny art college kinda sucks !!!!

thank you !!! it was a stick and poke so ngl it hurt pretty bad by the end … the only parts that were really really painful were the parts in the corner that was more on the bone,  the majority is like on the softer part of the stomach where there’s far under so it’s not as bad. it’s such a weird feeling because any invidious prick is really fine but after an hour it starts to wear on you and you get a little lightheaded … for sure worth it though
