Just post whatever comes to mind.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.
If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.
Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Speaking of scary stuff, here I am writing an eerie scene, listening to eerie music, in the dead of night, while also looking up "When you see it..." pictures. I should not be doing this, but I am! XD ^_^;;
I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.
Every time I say something I think people haven't heard before, it turns out they have. And every time I say some I think people have heard before, it turns out they haven't.
Jer gets all the girls
It turns out a surprising number of Kiwis I know are actually Afrikaner and I'm just shit at telling those accents apart.
Huh.
Everybody's all "Jerry's old and feeble" till they see him run down a skyscraper and hijack a helicopter mid-flight.
Ever since I found Extruded Book Product, I've been in hate.
"Book publishing, like with any other creative product, is primarily about business, not art."
Contemptible. Detestable. But series written like that are just like episodes in a TV show—often standalone, and you might be able to jump around without missing much arc.
But to make money off of something truly novel is...lucky. Especially now.

Primarily about business, you say? Well, if I ever make a TV show or film or whatever, I wouldn't do it for the money, but rather just to make an entertaining work for people to enjoy. Greed is one of the seven deadly sins, after all, and why some people like money so much that they find it more important than anything else is beyond me.
The problem is, unless you're a superstar director, Hollywood execs have the final say on how a show/movie turns out. So even if you're not in it for the money, someone else far more powerful and influential is, and they're the people you answer to if you want your show/film to get made.
If you wanna make a career entirely out of Doing It for the Art, you're gonna have to resign yourself to solely making indie short films for Youtube or Vimeo.
It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.
Ahr river
Also money is one of those things people need to like, live and eat. It makes the world go round and you're sort of forced to participate in it whether you like it or not.
Read my stories!
I was thinking about that...
It's like, why do the same songs by the same artists get played on the same radio stations in the same day? It's not like there's any shortage of songs or singers.
Is it because it's easier to attach promotion to something simpler and more familiar...
I have yet to find a Parker Square that pertains to a geographic location. I petition that there be.
If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is around to hear it...
Yes it makes a sound. To no one. He's a real weirdo, puts his name in all lower case letters.
That's such a stupid riddle. Yes, if a tree falls in the forest, it obviously makes a sound because things hitting other things tend to make sound whether people are around to hear it or not.
It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.
But is it sound if no one hears it, or just vibrations?

sound carries through waves so yes it's making a sound even if no one to hear it
New theme music also a box
That's a valid scientific interpretation of the prose, but it seems to miss the poetry a bit. (Read: I have no idea what I'm talking about and am half-heartedly trying to save my skin.)
It's like is the glass half empty? Or half full.
Half empty implies that the glass is ALWAYS full, and it being half empty is the variation.
If the glass is half empty, the bartender isn't doing their goddamn job.

Re: the tree falling in the forest with no one to hear it, I always thought that saying was an old philosophical question that has long since been answered. If you go back far enough, you'd probably find a time when people thought something stopped existing when you couldn't see it.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...
You can't tell me that that teapot isn't flying out in space between Earth and Mars!
...if you can, I'll take that back.

It's not,I just looked through my powerful telescope
New theme music also a box
Did you check behind that black kettle.
Disasturbator
Yes damn it
New theme music also a box
...there's another joke in there somewhere.
"The pot calling the kettle black"—the implication is that the kettle is mirrored, and the pot is black. Nobody can see the teapot in space, maybe because it IS black.
Stealth teapots... *shudders* . . . that's the stuff of nightmares.
To an ant colony, an anteater would be an Eldritch Abomination.
