Much To Think About - Tumblr Posts
so i came across your addek sad baby theory post and can you talk about what you were referring to when you said “bc there is just so much stuff in the early seasons that could be interpreted as foreshadowing or implying things”? because i love this theory but as a first time watcher i didn’t pick up on anything myself
yes. i’m also a first time watcher (slowly trudging my way through season 13) i just spend way too much time thinking about the dynamics in those first three seasons. off the top of my head, i think there was a ton of subtext in their scenes together on addison’s first case in seattle (the ttts case she flew in for). there scenes in the NICU especially. when they’re talking about the baby and addison is all like “she just needs someone to fight for her” and it’s all emotionally charged. i don’t remember the exact dialogue but i remember it was clearly like they were talking about two things at once. and sure, it could be interpreted as addison pushing for fighting for their marriage, but i think that would be a weird metaphor for it. i think derek also says something along the lines of “don’t get too attached” or something iirc. and then later in season two when meredith is thinking about her father and she asks derek if his and addison’s marriage would have turned out differently if they’d had kids. there’s a very interesting expression on his face and a weight to his words. there might be more, but those are the examples that stick in my mind. plus the fact that they both clearly want children (bc they both end up having them) and they were married for over a decade but never had any. i think there was definitely a reshuffling of their backstory when they decided kate was gonna be in more episodes and then there was another reshuffling when they decided to give her a spin off.
just laying in bed thinking about your first time with mingi and he’s just too big for you to take so he only fucks his tip into you and the whole time he’s teasing you for not being able to take him all and saying things like “what happened? tiny little pussy can’t take my big cock? that’s just a shame” while he thumbs your clit and fucks into you hard.
and the next few times he starts size training you, pushing in an inch more than last time, and being much sweeter and encouraging about it. “come on, be a big girl and take my cock.”
yeah

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
You cannot become a parent just because you want a baby that guy you made is gonna start having independent thoughts faster than you think he will
maybe I should shut myself in my room for a week or two and do nothing but learn animation. could be really good for me
thinking about how orpheus turning to look back at eurydice isn’t a sign of mortal frailness but a sign of love
The version of you right now is deserving of love. Not you two years ago when you had more of your shit together, or the five years later version where you’ll surely be thriving. The version of you right now. The one that might just be okay, or is really struggling, or is bored and unproductive. That version deserves love. Having trouble accepting this is fine, but actively denying it is not. Your value is intrinsic, and finding confidence in that is mandatory.
In fleeting moments of beauty
will you think of me?
If there was one image
to come to mind
when my name is murmured in kind
ringing ears
interjecting thoughts
what would it be?

I don't know how unpopular this opinion is but I strongly hold the position that society today seems unable to differentiate "Art" from entertainment, and this blurring of lines harms both. _ what do you mean?
What I mean to say is that society nowadays fails to recognize the fundamental differences between art and entertainment. Thinking that they are the same or interchangeable does a disservice to both. To me, it's not an "art vs. entertainment" situation. Rather than opposing them, the distinction lies in recognizing their complementary roles because a healthy individual needs both art and entertainment, but for very different reasons.
Entertainment, of course, entertains us; it delights and validates us by affirming our existing beliefs and emotions. It's there to make us feel good — a safe space that doesn't challenge us, as it has been created specifically for our needs and is catering to our preferences. However, it leaves us unchanged and not transformed. Entertainment is produced because there is a public demand for it.
Art, on the other hand, is meant to change and transform us. It's not always delightful, entertaining or self-affirming. On the contrary, it can sometimes feel like an attack on our beliefs and the reality we think we’re living in. Art can be uncomfortable, even disruptive, and by being so, it forces us to engage with it on a deeper level, challenging our perspectives and encouraging us to evolve. Unlike entertainment, art is not made because there is public demand for it. To be more precise, the demand for art exists, but it doesn't come from us — the public; art meets the demands of the time. Real artists are those who can discern the lessons and demands of the time and make them digestible for the public. While entertainment caters to an audience’s desires, art challenges its audience, often presenting ideas or emotions they may not have asked for but need to confront. It’s not about pleasing or fulfilling expectations; instead, art serves as a catalyst for intellectual and emotional growth, pushing society to reflect, adapt and progress.
My beloved Armenian poet Paruyr Sevak has a very thought-provoking piece that, I think, is about real artists. I'll present a rough translation: "They come unoften, yet never too late. / They are born at exactly the right time. / And they get ahead of time itself, / Which is why they are not forgiven".
The role of a true artist goes far beyond technical skill or the ability to produce aesthetically pleasing works that will be liked by many and, thus, make a fortune. A true artist serves as a visionary, a truth-teller and a catalyst for change. They push us to reflect deeply and think critically about the world around us. This is why, in the absence of such people (and I strongly believe that we live in such times), individuals become more susceptible to propaganda, manipulation or conformity, as there are fewer voices prompting them to critically examine their environment. Additionally, without these voices, society loses touch with its emotional depth, becoming more disconnected, indifferent and apathetic to the suffering or experiences of others.
True artists are what we need today. There are many discussions held online about whether today’s celebrities should address "political" issues and the problems we face as humans.
My answer to this is no, at least not for everyone that society considers an "artist." Most of these individuals are mere entertainers who are there solely for entertainment purposes (I would be quick to add that some of them even fail at that). Dozens of them can't even form comprehensive sentences in their mother tongues; how can we expect them to express trustworthy opinions on grave issues? This is one of the reasons why it is highly dangerous to confuse entertainment with art.
