Mormons can't drink caffiene. It goes straight to our horns.
We wear our hair so you can't see our horns, except when we are in the great tunnel from Palmyra to Salt Lake. But you can only get to that tunnel from jumping out of the Salt Lake temple into the Salt Lake, otherwise you won't have enough momentum to sink.
Additionally, to keep us docile, our bishops install a gland in our brains that explodes if we ever watch a rated-R movie or eat a cheerio on Fast Sunday.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I'm crazy enough that I think I'm going to attempt to build a virtual Hackintosh

Genre fiction is all, on some level, built around fantasies. People's responses to genre fiction often boil down to accepting those fantasies uncritically, or rejecting them unilaterally.

All fiction and most nonfiction is fantasy of a kind. Media is lies, but they're lies that help put the world into focus, help people understand themselves, and make people happy.
i think you could have a case for scrapping the 'most', even
This discussion reminded me of a thing.
The novelist E.M. Forster proposed the existence of a 'fantastic-prophetic axis' running through some, but not all novels. Some of these novels were entirely fantasy, some entirely prophecy, and others varying degrees of in between. He compared this axis to a beam of light which illuminates everyday objects and allows us to see them in a new light. He described this as 'intermittent realism'.
Forster's definitions of fantasy and prophecy were not the usual ones. Fantasy, for Forster, encompassed stories featuring the supernatural and imaginary worlds, but also included parody and certain forms of adaptation, as well as stories in which there was no explicitly supernatural element but in which the expectations of common sense are defied so as to almost suggest that some kind of supernatural organizing principle is acting on the world and its inhabitants - so basically, anything that wouldn't actually happen IRL. Prophecy, conversely, was a tonal quality; prophetic fiction was fiction which contained no violations of commonsense expectations, but in which some grandiose theme permeated the entire novel from start to finish. Forster likened the effect of prophecy to song, and instructed readers to resist any urge to laugh at such stories and instead to read them with humility.
Novels which incline towards fantasy, according to Forster, include Ulysses and Tristram Shandy; novels which incline towards prophecy include Moby Dick, The Brothers Karamazov and Wuthering Heights.

aesthetic is a word i was using properly before tumblr started using it
however i feel the tumblr sense does not seem too far removed from the conventional sense of the word
it's just semantically narrower and slightly more syntactically flexible, which makes certain uses of the word on tumblr seem odd if you're only familiar with the conventional use
The cool thing about "This is just a semantics debate" is that you can deploy it anywhere people are having a debate and idiots will feel like it applies.

Trufax, guys.
(NOTE: NOne of this is true!)
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
Not with the second.
This is true, however.
It doesn't have to be like this, though.

it's an idea that's stuck with me, though
tho tbh i never understood Personal Brand, either
people use non-dictionary words a lot and they never seem to have trouble understanding one another
Hopefully
Now you're amazed by the VIP POSSE
Steppin' so hard like a German NAZI-Vanilla Ice
Or, as it's usually abbreviated, Alicorn XD
