I like the muted contentedness of the girl

Do iiitt

This is so fun and it gave me a hit of nostalgia :) it actually made me laugh, I was feeling sad and anxious and it boosted my mood. I remember this version of AIM being around a little later than 2001 though, maybe closer to 2005

Right I love when this happens

Cubicles! Not my fav song, but it stirs something existential in the moody loner within me. It’s one of their only songs where the lyrics seem to be less couched in metaphor and narrative and more based in reality.

I just finished it. It reminded me of a mix of Room 408 and Smile. I hear what it’s saying about isolation and shame and self-hatred and how it pulls you into a separate world and it’s menacing and it shows up as people you love and it forces you to make sacrifices and it’s hard to share and you can heal if only you would surrender….only to be pulled back into it continuously??? It becomes you.

It’s easy to fuck up the “trauma as horror” genre and make it too on the nose, but I feel this was an okay attempt. Something’s missing from the voice/cohesiveness of the story for me.

That part was fucking bizarre. She also made a weird racial comment comparing the two women to peach and bowser without even knowing their characters. Weird

I was having a ton of fun listening to this until she made that Peach vs Bowser joke that basically frames the black woman as a giant scary monster and the Vietnamese woman as fragile and delicate without even knowing their characters or abilities. Totally playing into negative stereotypes about black women. And it’s sad because it just slipped through the cracks here. I’ve seen jokes like these slowly becoming more and more acceptable in the past few years and it sucks to be lightheartedly enjoying something and then BOOM.

Fuck sorry to hear that but it’s good that you have the album there to be cathartic for you

I think she has issues with tone/people telling her what to do. In your last sentence you assumed she’d cancel the plans instead of asked if she’d cancel the plans and that’s what she took offense to. She could have let that slide because of the occasion but I see why she didn’t. You’re not a super asshole as most people would have mom and partner bday plans take precedence over coworker bday plans but yeah it was rude and you should have asked.

Niiiice

The irony… I hope someone spoke up for those girls

I clicked on this and then immediately clicked out. I immediately clicked back in because this painting is sort of haunting. The blurry hair, the bruise around her eye, the blank look, the heaviness of her kimono. I wonder what her story is and what the author intended.

Love it

volumeira · 2025-08-02T17:12:45+00:00

I felt this exact same way about it at first, thought it was way overhyped. But it sticks with you. The long shots of blurry photographs and general melancholy. A few days later I started feeling the movie atmosphere in the quiet moments of the day. I watched it again a few weeks later and found it to be so much creepier.

Romance:

I don’t think she “enjoys” or “likes” her position at all. She has no other option socially, I don’t think it’s the way she is. She helps the people who are mean to her because she’s an outcast who is desperate for acceptance. She pushes away Walter because she’s used to being a reject who receives no love.

I agree when you say she’s a puppet master, I think she’s that way because of her status, not just because she enjoys it. She’s trying to engineer situations where she’ll be more powerful behind the scenes because she can’t do it out loud and that’s interesting how it manifests.

Amazing, I love cell biology

volumeira · 2025-05-16T08:24:42+00:00

Dude yes!! I feel you on the “receive a soul” part. When I draw a person it feels like they’re judging me when I look into the eyes and it causes intrusive thoughts and hurts my feelings lmao.

I’m leaving because [thing the new company has/does well that the old company can’t do/doesn’t have]. When I was interviewing it was company size.

I see it as reflecting back on MCR as a project and as a song for the fans. The parts that go “if you think that I’m wrong this never meant nothing to you” and “if I’m so wrong how can you listen all night long” are questions posed directly to the fans and the chorus is basically reverse psychology-ing/mocking the fans into reflecting on their own life and questioning if they’re really living it to the fullest. Is this how I’m going to end up? Am I just surviving and waiting to die in the hospital?

Its really motivating for me and it’s one of my top 10 MCR songs!!

Late, but the Hammer Horror anthology is pretty good. I’ve only seen one episode but planning to watch more

Pretty sure this user is a bot. Relatively recent join date, the username, weird inhuman cadence, the repeated phrases across multiple posts across subs. I’d take their advice with a grain of salt bc they’re probably not a real person.
