me: haha oh god this is so bad im making so many unsupported claims and pulling all this analysis out of my ass
my prof in the margins: excellent analysis!
me:
when i was in high school i used to write my papers thinking wow i’m just bullshitting all of this. then like a week before my senior year ended after all the grades were set, i was talking to my english teacher and told him you know i just bullshitted every paper i wrote. he told me that while i may have thought i was just pulling it all out of my ass, i genuinely knew what i was talking about and made well-supported analyses. i only thought i was bullshitting because it didn’t take much effort and it all seemed obvious to me. if you do well on your essays even though you think you’re just making it up as you go, chances are you’re not pulling it out of your ass. you’re just a genuinely talented analyst, even if the analysis that you’re making comes from a subconscious understanding of the material rather than a conscious effort to study it. give yourself some credit.
anything you pull out of your ass had to get there somehow

Oh no two seperate artist created two separate characters with different silloettes whatever has happened to the animation industry in 73 years??? The Horror!!!
This post is making fun of people who cry about “cal arts art style”
I’m specifically mocking this gif
ah, that.
some fun facts about this: the person who made the original chart the gif is derived from outright lied in order to get their point across by deliberately drawing the characters super off-model…
and “CalArts” as a derogative term didn’t originally refer to bean mouths, soft rounded faces, and what have you. It originally referred to 2D Disney-style animation (specifically, it was in reference to The Iron Giant of all things.) And the person to blame for this is…
drumroll please…
That’s right, John Kricfalusi coined “CalArts Style.”
As in, the convicted pedophile.
As in, the guy who notoriously tortured his animation staff.
HOLY SHIT THE MOUSE FROM TOM AND JERRY IS SANS
Say his name. Don’t look it up. Look me in the eyes right now and tell me the rats name.
Love bombing is not a euphemism for “too much affection too soon,” or “high desire for contact.”
“Love bombing” is a term originally used in the context of cults to describe a deliberate and coordinated recruitment method that involved feigning friendship and interest in a potential recruit, via flattery, flirtation, physical affection, and very directed positive attention to everything the recruit says in order to lure them into the cult.
Since cults and abusive relationships operate in similar ways and use similar tactics, love bombing in an interpersonal relationship looks like manufacturing closeness in order to trap someone into a relationship in which the abuser has all the control.
And I know these days there’s a million bullshit junky articles out there that make you think this is a symptom of cluster b personality disorders, but there is no way for you to be love bombing somebody without realizing it.
If you are an affectionate person and the level of affection and attention you give makes someone uncomfortable, you are not “accidentally” abusing them.
If you are uncomfortable with the level of affection and attention someone is paying you, they are not de facto abusing you.
Love bombing is about using someone’s desire for human connection to fast track them into a situation you control and will feel disinclined to leave.
