Today’s memory of the ‘90s as a lost golden age is:

Waking up to the sun shining over the green grass on a summer day, calling in to AOL and reading Salon and Slate, playing Final Fantasy Tactics for a bit

Going to the comic book store for M:tG day (also Battletech and Netrunner and Legend of the Five Rings), waiting for a match and reading the Vertigo compilations and watching patrons buy Lady Death ceramic busts and Milo Manara compilations from the highest shelf

good things will never ever return to us

oh hush, you negative nelly, there’s dark forest in between the sun-dappled clearings but we’ll be there again before you know it

  5. brazenautomaton said: @kontextmaschine they take every single thing that makes life tolerable, for the joy of taking. They hurt others because it is fun to hurt others. All are powerless against their malice. Limitless social depredation is the world you live in and you know this is true and you behave as though it is true. It will never get better because their power does not ever diminish. High school is eternal and our tormentors decide everything in our social reality. Forever.
  6. kontextmaschine said: no I don’t, that’s exactly what the forest looks like before you break through. “always darkest just before the dawn”, “this too shall pass”, that’s ageless wisdom for a reason, that’s how these cycles go
