Hiya! I'm Laura/Liz whatever; later 20s; i like cats & dogs even if they make me sneeze ✌🐶🐱 i post mostly stuff that just makes me smile :0) have a good day!
i hate dogs with blue eyes. why is fucking jeff the killer at my back door
Do you need something.
before this starts getting notes i have to add that this is not my dog. i dont know how he got in my backyard
someone made a terrible youtube video searching for the source of this dog picture like it’s lost media and he on-screen scrolls by a live tumblr link to this post before claiming i deleted my account, pulling up a wayback machine archived page, and then lying about contacting my ex boyfriend for more information
the thing about labubus to me is that i genuinely do think the design is appealing and i love things that are uglycute and if they were lowkey or more niche i think it would be super cute to have one. but the fact that they are mainstream and trendy sucks all of the fun out of it for me
this isn’t just “durr hburr mainstream thing Bad i need to feel Cool” it’s just that like. collecting ANYTHING popular is such a slog to me. i love pokemon cards and i love collecting them and i love playing the tcg and i’ve been into pokemon cards for like 15 years and i think they are fun. but the recent wave of “buy them, invest in them, flip them, resell them, snatch up a whole store’s stock” is soooo exhausting. because you literally cannot avoid it as part of the hobby. it is an awful time to try to get into pokemon cards or tcg because you cannot physically get your hands on new cards. and the ppl paying hundreds to thousands of dollars to buy up new releases and restocks are not into pokemon cards for the cards - they want the monetary or social capital that comes with either (a) having extremely rare graded chase cards or (b) ‘investing’ in unopened packs that will purposefully sit in storage for the next fifteen years until they balloon in value. it’s not about pokemon it’s about profit. it’s not about the thing it’s about how to harness the idea of the thing for personal gain. you can’t engage with the Idea without necessarily inviting the Meta Idea.
going back to labubus. no one is actually into labubus. very few people care about the design or the character or the artist or any of it. labubus aren’t cool but HAVING a labubu is cool. it doesn’t matter what your opinion is about labubus but everyone has an opinion about having an opinion on labubus. if you like them you’re vapid and following a craze and trying to fit in. if you hate them you’re trying too hard to be contrarian and you hate fun and you’re being silly because it’s just a toy. you cannot win except by purchasing the thing that everybody can’t stop talking about talking about. and then you get articles like this:
and it’s like ohhh. okay. it was never about a hobby or the doll or even about the trend. it has always been about money. ok got it. thank you.
lovely friends and gorgeous people of tumblr.com, i invite you to please reblog this post and put in the tags something that has brought you happiness lately! anything at all, any joy, slight or miraculous, wholly at your discretion!
[ID: A captioned TikTok video by user @stixywixy of a bearded man wearing a sweatshirt that reads “Sorry”. He is speaking against a background that is a screenshot of a Tumblr exchange. The exchange starts with user victini posting “You can control white people by giving them cheese”. User 0ndo replies “cheese is so good tho”. Victini replies “I got one”.
Stixywixy indicates the exchange as he lectures: “I’ve seen this circulating a lot, and as the veil between the worlds grows thinner this time of year, we need to talk about it for everyone’s safety. Summoning, binding, warding, and dismissal are four distinct disciplines. They don’t overlap. Cheese will summon white people; it will give you no command over them. Now you’ve got a swarm of uncontrollable cheese eating white people. Congratulations, you just made France. Now what? Conjure responsibly.” Stixywixy looks away and drinks from an insulated tumbler. /end ID]
