i don’t want characters with healthy coping mechanisms, actually. i want them to yearn and weep and suffer and have their brutal worldviews informed and/ or altered exclusively by their unyielding love for like. one other person. sorry

I don’t choose ships. They choose me, and then destroy my life.

truly never getting over the greatest loss streaming services caused: the disappearance of DVD special features. behind the scenes, bloopers, deleted scenes, commentaries, I will never forget you, I will never stop missing you.

decentralize and clean up your life!!!

• use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.
• use firefox instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).
• use mega or proton drive instead of google drive.
• get rid of bloatware
• use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite
• use vetted sites on r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH for free movies, books, games, etc.
• use trakt or letterboxd instead of imdb.
• use storygraph instead of goodreads.
• use darkpatterns to find mobile game with no ads or microtransactions
• use ground news to read unbiased news and find blind spots in news stories.
• use mediahuman or cobalt to download music, or support your favorite artists directly through bandcamp
• make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge
• use search for a cause or ecosia to support the environment instead of google
• use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)
• use flashpoint to play archived online flash games
• find books, movies, games, etc. on the internet archive! for starters, here's a bunch of David Attenborough documentaries and all of the Animorphs books
• burn your music onto cds
• use pdf24 (available online or as a desktop app) instead of adobe
• use unroll.me to clean your email inboxes
• use thunderbird, mailfence, countermail, edison mail, tuta, or proton mail instead of gmail
• remove bloatware on windows PC, macOS, and iOS X
• remove bloatware on samsung X

idk I just personally think that getting chills from music is the best part of being alive. like when a song is so good you can feel it in your whole body. that's why I'm here.

they should invent a me who is not exhausted by simply being alive
