subject to interpretation

There are currently SO MANY fandoms going on in this space:

The Untamed (MDZS, but mostly CQL)
the related chinese actor fandoms and cultural interest
Official Liu Chang Addicts Club Member (2020)
the Liu Chang addiction has now spawned a Liu Sang/DMBJ/Daomu Biji fascination: warning for high meme density: check #dmembj tag
there is now an entire subset of SVSSS and a bit of TGCF reblogs
Marvel and MCU (hugely conflicted about upcoming content? Like they’re offering up all the stuff I wanted 4-6 years ago, but it’s … been so long. But I do want to support Kamala and Sam and Monica etc. so …)
80s music nostalgia always happening
Black Sails (perpetual)
The Witcher (TV series)
X-Men (mainly XMCU)
Murderbot
The Expanse
Killjoys (for as long as folks are making gifsets - ❤ u guys)
Star Wars, mostly Rogue One (Cassian! and and Patty Jenkins starfighter pilots, and … I just idk how much of that will end up here)
Stargate and SGA (perpetual but in the background for now)
plus a bunch more i’ve been in that come back around

Anyways, this blog is a mishmash of those, current events posts, cat and landscape pics, tumblr standard posts, fic recs, and memes.

I subscribe to the “if you like it, reblog it” philosophy of sharing creators’ posts, because they put the effort in and deserve some appreciation.

Welcome!

Blanket creative works policy: if you ever see a headcanon, not!fic, tag ramble, or silly manip of mine that inspires you to write or art in any way: go for it!

just drop me a tag if you post it bc i’d love to see!

In this post @xcziel mused on what kind of hats Club Moonlight Liu Sang would be wearing, and not to go totally fashion-backwards but
ALL THE CLOCHES.
And maybe a headdress or two
Though he definitely varies it with the occasional wide-brimmed number
This also seems like a pertinent place to point out that in the unwritten opening scene of my unwritten Moonlight-adjacent noir AU he is definitely wearing a wide-brimmed hat and one of those incredible 1930s “pajama” suits.
He’d look soooooo good in that one on the left. Eat your heart out, pool boy.

this is SO EXACTLY RIGHT and also perfect that i CURSE YOU because i have never regretted of my lack of photoshopping skills more!

liu chang spends SO MUCH TIME in baseball caps and bucket hats i was like SURELY it CANNOT BE THAT HARD to create an appropriate edit but alas!!!!!!

au where parallel to Lan Wangji having his bunnies there is Jiang Cheng with those yelling frogs
lwj visits to relax, jc to join their screaming

@kholran have you seen this channel? the second part of this clip has zhang mingen being too cute for words

this one is all fo ye focused, for the william chan fans (you know who you are)

modern au in which Nie Mingjue is the hottest man on the 30 Under 30 Corporate Executives list (until Lan Xichen joins) and moderately twitter famous for (a) being hot, (b), being a weird horse girl (think Viggo Mortensen) and owning and knowing how to use a fuckoff huge sword, and © periodically saying absolutely scathing things to politicians and the worse business rivals. Also sometimes replies absolutely deadpan to hid dilettante brother’s shitposts.
The account is, of course, curated almost entirely by Nie Huaisang doing a pitch-perfect impression of his brother, albeit a slightly alternate version of his brother who can be bothered to understand or care about social media.
#the only people who know it’s not nmj are nmj himself; nhs; meng yao the hypercompetent and terrifying pa; and maybe nie zongzhi #idk if i spelled that right; i only know them from a few fanfics #lxc has had multiple twitter exchanges with nmj without knowing it’s nhs #and probably carried at least one conversation over to real life and nmj just kinda went with it #huaisang will fill him in on anything actually important (and a bunch of stuff that’s not remotely important)
#oh actually u know what wwx knows bc he caught nhs at it #and lwj knows bc wwx had to tell SOMEONE #lwj has not seen fit to inform his brother bc honestly the man needs to figure some things out himself
#modern gusulan is like yamaha corporation wherein they’re known for making musical instruments and motorcycles don’t @ me i’m right

tumblr meme culture is really just a form of neo dadaism
I’d like to clarify:
dada was a largely european art movement that took place after wwi. this time and place is not a coincidence. let me explain.
dada art made no sense. the artists who made dada lived in a world in which nothing made sense - in which conventional logic led to the senselessness of a world war. so, making art that made no sense, making - well, you can’t really call it art, so making ANTI-art that rejected the conventions that brought about that atrocity in the first place - it made total sense. (if that makes any sense.)
so the artists did weird things. new things! putting things that were already made together and calling it sculpture, cutting up bits of pictures and putting them together and calling that something to frame - this site has some nice examples.
but from my perspective - there’s serious intellectual continuity between the absurdity of attaching a bunch of tacks to the bottom of an iron, rendering it useless, and say…. bath bomb posts. Put a fucking macbook in a bath. it’s useless now. Nobody fucking cares anymore. you want something funny? you want a punchline? gun. that’s your punchline. Take it. I am laughing
in a way it could be a method of venting some of the frustration and hopelessness and dissatisfaction that tumblr’s userbase (largely, disenfranchised millennials) feels in the modern day. I can’t really speak for anyone else, but… at least from a US perspective, there’s plenty to be disillusioned about. growing up in a constant state of questionably justified war, income inequality, an economic recession caused by the actions of a handful of wealthy fucks who didn’t even get properly punished, growing awareness of police brutality, being called lazy and self-absorbed by the generations that gave us these problems in the first place… I can’t help but think that these factors (and more) could produce a similar mindset to the one that precipitated the first dada movement.
so of COURSE we make nonsense jokes. it’s a coping mechanism for a world which doesn’t make any sense.
related: this isn’t by tumblr but I have to plug UCLA’s atrocity of a virtual gallery once more. it really needs to be experienced, but… it’s definitely also millennial neo dada. from the presentation (like an unplayable video game) to the content (THE DOGS HAVE ARRIVED), it is exactly what I am talking about. it is a fucking shitpost. and it’s high art, too! I love this
tl;dr: my generation is fed up with this bullshit, and the best way that we can express that is by shitposting. alternatively, dada was an early precursor to modern shitposting and we should all thank duchamp for signing a fucking urinal
a dear friend has given a perfect update to some of my phrasing, courtesy of their word replace extension:
you see this? this is exactly what I’m fucking talking about. the thing that I’m talking about is:
I’d also say that while Dadaism was obsessed with the technological aspects of Modernity, of newspapers, of industrial mechanics and factory made clocks, neo-dadaism (of which shitposting but also the increasingly broad reach of the New Aesthetic and net aesthetics) is obsessed with the technological aspects of our time, or at the beginning of our time.
As just a comparison, the Clock in Absurdist and Dadaist art is both a symbol of the uplifting beginning of industrial relations (as one of the first complicated machines made by manufacturers, as the symbol of mankind’s ability to triumph and analyze nature and better ourselves) and as the deified symbol of horrific modernity (of demarcated time, labor hours, the oppression of the working class via managerial time), Neo-Dadaism/Absurdism has a similar relationship with early computers, which both symbolizes the utopian attitudes which we entered the digital age with, and the horrifying period we live in now, where the Digital is ever present and semi-deified.
My favorite dada satire is probably from Georges Grosz who takes the kind of robotic modernist tube people of folks like Leger:
and turns them into these mindlessly patriotic broken automatons chanting rote phrases:
And it’s so so funny to me that there’s all kinds of Gen X artists out there creating art about the millennials on their damn cellumar phones who think they’re the inheritors of this aesthetic but really it’s people who use the Madden gif generator to shitpost because they’re taking the technology meant for a coherent purpose for a particular narrative and they’re breaking it and turning it back on itself.
I think you might be onto something…

Aside from color palettes and materials used, I see literally zero difference.
This is one of the top 3 best posts I’ve ever seen on tumblr and I’ve been here for years.
