Just Remembered That Time I Carved A Viking Runestone Transcribing The Fitness Gram Pacer Test…

Okay so like I'm sorry to everyone else's Modern AU Headcanons or whatever but the actual modern equivalent here is that your plane has crashed in rural Nebraska and the survivors are

You

A homeschooled goth girl who was raised in a bunker by a bunch of excommunicated Scientologists

A pissed-off bisexual who grew up in some kind of sovereign-citizen compound and has vastly overestimated her current class rankings at West Point

The disgraced son of some politician who made a deal with the mob to protect someone and then took a dive to protect his father's reputation rather than try to explain

Straight-up a human trafficking survivor who's using a fake ID to try to flee the country

Genuinely a really sweet young woman trying to get out of an abusive relationship whose shitty ex-girlfriend destroyed her highly-controlled and incredibly expensive heart medication out of spite to punish her for leaving, and who also lost her health insurance when she ran

and of course

Some guy from the Hamptons who is otherwise honestly super friendly and normal, except that he's managing his terminal leukemia by sucking the dye out of shoes and it actually seems to be working

My cishet straight man roommate: “I’m a *philosopher*. I have absurdly high standards for all art. I’m a manic pixie poet photographer who listens to Death Grips religiously. I don’t even watch video essays without critiquing them like Scorsese. Genre fiction isn’t art, only high art is art. Sabrina Carpenter isn’t a real artist, BTW; not like the Beatles.”

Also my roommate: “Haliey Welch is legitimately a postmodern performance artist.”

Me:

just in case it gets deleted

My boyfriend: art is a quasi divine thing, it is the pinnacle of human creation. Essentially, art is an artifice in which the artist imbues a particular lens in which a artist frames a particular object so as the viewer can interpret said object. Art exists separately from the medium; every medium can be used to make something entertaining or well crafted, but that doesn’t make it art, let alone good. Good Art will further its medium/media and/or give meaningful commentary on the world or human condition. *Good* art extends upon being aesthetically gratifying. This is why Sabrina Carpenter, genre fiction, blockbusters, Marvel, etc aren’t art, they’re merely entertainment.

Also my boyfriend: Hailey Welch is a post-modern performance artist

so my apartment building got a notice board to post fire alarm tests and maintenance announcements and such. the building is pretty well-maintained, so we rarely get notices. the board is big and grey and to think it would be empty like that 99% of the time was a bland boring sin i just couldn't bear, so i vandalized the corner of its empty canvas with a teeny tiny Guy

and within a few days, there was a sudden addition from my one of my neighbors along with a Bunch of thumbtacks. this was an unexpected, but welcome surprise!

well there was still so much space, i figured i'd add another crumb to the art hoard. i'd been playing genshin that day so i drew my favorite grandpa

and like clockwork, new art manifested!! this person is gonna grow to be a great artist i know it. the detail in those stones? hell yeah that's cool.

we're two weeks into it. more neighbors have joined in with their artwork. who knew there were so many artists in my building?? we're onto somethin great here i just know it.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
