@AdalwinAmillion Old as dirt and twice as gay

Anyone else experience a phenomenon as they get older, where all their feelings and thoughts become so complex that none of them feel all the way happy any more?

I read comics I enjoy and I enjoy them and then I think about how I kind of hate one of the creators for something (usually a legitimate something, as in they did something crummy.) I get furry art commissioned and I am reminded of the person who, out of the blue, decided to hate my guts. I'll be enjoying something as simple as a video game and then something in the repetitive structure will dig up a memory and I am taken out of the moment by feeling bad. I'll talk with a longtime friend and then be reminded of an argument we had years ago.

It feels like trauma, but it's not just over stuff that should be traumatic, it's over minor stuff everyone else seems to be able to get over. Everything now just seems to unlock a cascade of memories that are all conflicting with each other and I have no pure emotions or experiences any more.

@rodhilton My favorite part of every single article about Twitter nowadays is the sentence at the end of the article that is words to this effect.

@LongTallJodie 🤞

If you're down on No Way Home, you are super valid; I overall liked it, but I can see the stitches pretty easily. But people frequently complain about the weirdest shit with these things. Sandman's underwritten character is right there if you wanna moan.

I am discovering that many, many people are mad that Peter Parker made fun of the name Otto Octavius in No Way Home, which is a baffling thing to still be mad about a year later.

A) they already lampshaded Otto's goofy name in the movie he's been sucked out of via magic spell,

B) He's PETER PARKER. Making fun of the absurdity of supervillains has been his deal since the year dot.

@stevewmorris I don't think that we think enough of just how much we, the audience, are demanding of a comics creator. "It needs to be the product of 10,000 hours of research and every rivet of every bridge needs to be visible, and also, how dare it cost money."

@moali this makes me ill. I feel like universal health care is a human right, and the UK had one of the best in the world, rightfully proud of it, and it has been dying from a thousand cuts for so long.

@taterpie Am well! I've been in a much better mood since I took birdsite off my phone and put Marvel Snap on it.

@JenniferdeGuzman 👍

Yeah, I have the little made-up internet person who gets mad at me living in my brain too. But I'm glad you're not letting it get you down. If it's important to you, you'll have something important to say about it, haters be damned.

@GWillow it's really sad just how fragile the whole thing is. Like watching an MMO shut down; the sense that an era has passed.

@stevewmorris It's takes all the way down. There is no bottom.

@stevewmorris But then we'll get the takes about the new Doctor instead

@AdamP Well, they specifically say that the reason he relates to her is because she's a service worker, and they also explicitly say that the audience pointedly does not appreciate what he's serving; he sends them a bread plate with no bread and she's the only one who thinks it's bullshit. So I can't say I really agree.
