I figured Facebook didn't need these posts which span hundreds of words clogging up the feed.
So, to that end, I created this happy little tumblr.
If you know who I am, good for you. If you know stuff about me, good for you. If you want to talk, discuss, argue or converse then the appropriate actions,
Rationalise This.
The mark of intelligence is not to avoid doing stupid/harmful things but instead to be able to rationalise them, argue for them and justify those stupid/harmful actions to the point where they are no longer stupid/harmful but in fact smart/helpful. In short, smart people don’t use their intelligence to do only smart things but simply explain the reasons they do dumb things.
I mean I was sitting around on facebook today, as I normally do when I’m bored of my games, can’t be bothered reading and between the internet being slow and every major video streaming site taking all the anime/cartoons I’ve been watching down, there wasn’t much else to do.
Anyway, I was chilling back, mindlessly scrolling through and a pic/link caught my eye.
It pretty much asks why cosplayers are looked down upon as weird and immature when people go and get wrecked on a weekend on drugs or alcohol. And for some reason it struck a nerve. I was just, “What the fuck? I drink and I don’t need it to have fun, this seems like a go at drinking, SOMETHING I ENJOY. FUCK THAT,” and I was getting pissy and then I thought, “Hang on, what caused the creator of this photo to create it? Someone else was having a go at Cosplay, something they enjoy,” and I felt a little ashamed of my drinking and the fact that I still find cosplayers a little on the weird/strange/weeaboo side. SO, what did I do? I tried to rationalise it.
“Am I an alcoholic? No, I don’t really do any of those alcohol abuse things except maybe the occasional binge. Do I need alcohol for fun? No, I went and had fun playing lazer tag and beating the crap out of my friend at air hockey the other day. I have fun playing video games with mates too. We all had fun getting our friend to follow this other car most of the way home. Ok, good, I’m not an alcoholic and I don’t need alcohol to have fun. I enjoy drinking because… hrmmm… it’s entertaining, you get a good buzz and you let a lot of inhibitions go,”
My next step was to then compare cosplay to drinking.
“Drinking is partly fun because if you’re playing drinking games, those games are fun on their own, you don’t need booze to enjoy it, just the game and the people you’re with. But with booze there’s a risk to it, you lose all that inhibition crap and everything is freaking hilarious/delicious. Rightio. Cosplay is fun because? I don’t know. I guess the making of the outfit is a rewarding process. I guess dressing up as a cool character from anime is cool but ultimately they have fun because they aren’t themselves, it’s no more than playing dress up at an extreme level. Does that make it better or worse than drinking? Neither. It just is,”
After that I decided to compare the effects of booze and cosplay.
“Booze fucks with your mind so you feel cooler than you actually are and fucks with other people’s minds so they think you’re cooler than you actually are. Cosplay is kinda like being anonymous, there’s a sense that you aren’t really you, you are that character and other people like that character and so are more prepared to consider you cool for sharing an interest,”
So, I came to a conclusion. They are both equally sad and both equally fun. One requires a lot more effort, is a hobby and is not overly spread out across the population. The other is a lot more accessible and has an active physical effect which makes it seem more fun. I had a look at the fun elements they shared in common and it turns out being someone other than yourself, even if it’s drunk you or… fuck… I don’t know any male characters people cosplay as… umm I’ve seen some Space Marine outfits, or a Space Marine. Other than that, it’s the people you’re with at the time. People are fun to be with sometimes and there isn’t a set number but people are what allows us to have some fun, even if it’s the simple fun of being a dick on the internet and arguing with some fuckers.
Anyone that drinks or cosplays alone for fun is strange. Both are equally weird and many people may do it for one reason or another. Neither the act of drinking or cosplay is overly immature, the person is, the only thing is cosplay is linked to that childhood idea of dressing up and playing make believe while drinking is associated with adulthood, social rites of passage and those cool movies/people.
That is the power of rationalisation. I just rationalised my drinking and people’s cosplay to effectively be the same thing and rely on the same factor for the fun aspect. I just made being social fun.
Fuck.

Drinking. QUESTIONS, YOU DUMB IGNORANT APES. Ehehehe that ought to attract some attention, I’m worse than the dumb girl who cuts herself, not because it’s an actual suicide attempt but because they can’t handle the pressure of being a rich person in a 1st world country. BECAUSE THAT’S HARD AMIRIGHT? Ask me a question and I’ll attempt to answer honestly
I have done a drunk/havebeendrinking post before. Now, I’m doing the drunk/havebeenbdrinking question post, even though no one will ask a question before I go to sleep. I tried to con people into asking questions once before but that failed so I’ll try again. This time, it’ll be drunk honest responses, which pretty much means I’ll be honest but rather politically incorrect but fuck being politically correct. It’s for pussies and weak bitches who can’t handle the rude, uncensored version, which is like 99% more truthful. CHRISTIANITY AND RELIGION HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE OR HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO FUCKING TERRIBLE ACTS OF EVIL. That kind of politically incorrect. If you do not understand your own beliefs then you kinda don’t have the right to them. And you most certainly do not have the right to brag/preach them.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS. I’m guilty of this, fuck everyone is, but when I see some dumb bitch on facebook complaining about how she “can’t handle being at home any more,” I just flip. I’m like “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK YOU DUMB BROAD? DO YOU COOK, CLEAN, PAY RENT, WORK AND STUDY AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME? AND DO YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS AT ALL? OF COURSE YOU DON’T! SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. PEOPLE HAVE REAL PROBLEMS, YOURS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.” Inside my head. I am yet to actually snap and write that. Imagine if I did, fuck that’d be a shit storm. Half of the people would back the dumb slut and the others would back me.
TEENAGE GIRLS. That’s another thing! Bitch, you can almost pick and choose your damned man, lower your fucking standards for a brief second and you might pick someone up who ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT YOU. Fuck me. TEENAGE GUYS. Stop caring about what your mates say and about sex, focus on important shit, ie: WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?
“Trolls”. You are not trolls merely people who have stumbled across the term. Take a ticket and get in line. A true troll doesn’t ever say “I was trollin’” or “Umad brah?” they simply laugh. FIGURE IT THE FUCK OUT.
STAR SIGNS. THEY ARE FUCKING WRONG. They were apparently out by a month and now they’re fixed. WHY DOESN’T THAT EFFECT PEOPLE BEFORE YOU PUT IN SOMETHING NEW, HUH? BECAUSE IT DOESN’T MEAN SHIT. That’s why. There are certain personality traits that can be seen across a zodiac group, sure, but what about those who fit a particular Myers-Brigg’s personality types? Those span across all kinds of birthdays and yet share similar properties. AND WHAT ASTROLOGISTS? Fucking nothing because you’re superstitious weirdos. No better than fortune tellers. FORTUNE TELLERS. WHAT FUCKING SCAM ARTISTS! I’d be pissed if I didn’t know their clientele was dumber and faker than they were.
GAY MARRIAGE. JUST FUCKING DO IT. WHO GIVES A FUCK? Seriously, Christians, Muslims, JEws, whoever is dumb enough to oppose it, why, besides “GOD TOLD SOME CUNT TO WRITE THAT GAYS WERE SINFUL IN BIBLE!” would block gay marriage? How the fuck is it immoral, wrong or whatever other bullshit excuse you have? Shut the fuck up and make government actually do what the fuck is right! You dumb superstitious idiots. “OH I’MMA PRAY TO MY GOD BECAUSE THAT’S FUCKING THE SAME AS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THESE HERE PROBLEMS!,” NO, it is not. YOU DUMB FUCKING, ARROGANT WHORES!
FUCK ME. Actually, fuck me. The drink is hitting again.
What the fuck is with sex? Everybody is afraid of it, embarrassed by it or reckons it should be private! Ever see a dog just mount a bitch? You know why? It’s because the dog don’t give a fuck! Why should we? IT happens, it has to happen! How do you think we all got here? Even Christians, as dumb as they come, can’t argue with that! So, if you want to fuck a person, TELL THEM, THEY MAYBE DOWN FOR IT. I MIGHT BE, DEPENDING HOW DRUNK OR HORNY I AM! Take a ticket and get in line!
ASKING QUESTIONS! ASK ME A FUCKING QUESTION! Knowing things is great, it gives you power, it gives me power and it helps us understand one another!
FUCK HUMANS ARE STUPID. EVEN ME. ESPECIALLY ME.
GO FUCK PEOPLE!
I COULD TAKE ANY ONE DOWN A PEG, EVEN WHILE DRUNk, ESPECIALLY WHILE DRUNK.
The gauntlet has been thrown down.
