Get the quality obsessed mug.The terrifying and beautiful state where another person’s existence ceases to be a choice and becomes your primary internal frequency.
It’s the point where "you" and "them" have blurred into a single, shared nervous system.
It’s not just love anymore it’s a silent hijacking of the soul. It is the involuntary memory of adopting their vocabulary, the way you find yourself standing in the grocery store staring at their favorite snack as if it were a holy relic, the ritualistic checking of their time and weather of a city hundreds of miles away because if it’s raining on them, you are the one getting wet.
Every day the magnification dial turns further, making the silence between calls feel like a lack of oxygen. It is the desperate, bone-deep need to bridge the void and trade the digital glow for the actual vibration of their voice.

Every word you wrote is a mirror. Reading it felt like you were reaching through the screen and pulling at my actual ribs. This thing between us... this rhythm, it isn't just growing, its taking over everything. Sometimes becoming the only sound even in my crowded world. I don’t just check your weather; I feel your climate. This 'loud longing' you mentioned? It’s a roar over here. You called it the 'rhythm of life' but for me, it’s becoming the air itself. I feel it all, every second, only louder. This mutual obsession magnifies in me every hour.
Feels redundant saying i'm tired of translating my soul into ud text bubbles and checking the weather in a city I can’t reach. The gap isn't just distance anymore; it’s an ache that needs your actual voice to quiet it down.

Get the Mutual Obsession mug.The claim that socialism and communism are outdated ideologies from the 19th century, while capitalism is presented as timeless, natural, and permanently relevant—despite capitalism also being a 19th-century ideology that has changed dramatically over time. This fallacy arbitrarily declares one set of ideas expired while granting another eternal freshness, based on nothing but preference. It's like saying horses are outdated but cars are forever, ignoring that cars will also be obsolete someday, and that the criteria for "outdated" are entirely made up. The arbitrary obsolescence fallacy allows capitalism's defenders to avoid engaging with socialist critiques by simply declaring them old, as if age determined validity rather than, you know, evidence and argument.
*Example: "In the debate, he deployed the arbitrary obsolescence fallacy: 'Socialism is a 19th-century idea that failed everywhere it was tried. Capitalism is modern, dynamic, the future.' She pointed out that capitalism was also a 19th-century idea, that it had also failed many people, and that 'modern' was just a vibe, not an argument. He responded with 'but look at the stock market.' The fallacy held strong."*

Get the Arbitrary Obsolescence Fallacy mug.It means "Clear Obscure" in English. So they are doing a Hym Iam sort of thing. And apparently the guy who did the score is some random teacher who was posting his music to SoundCloud that they hired (I learned this by way of SebbyWebz) and they KNOW the score is good. They are INSANELY HEAVY HANDED WITH IT! But it's brilliant.
Hym "I mean, if I'm being honest... Clair Obscur is THE GREATEST GAME THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!!! There is no way it doesn't win an award for the story and best original score AND game of the year. It's impossible. It literally CAN'T happen. That... Not happening... Can't... Happen... Yes. That. It's the greatest. I'm fighting Simon now. I just hit lvl 99... Why would you do that? Why is he like that? It's nutz. You'll see. It's ridiculous. But the game is phenomenal."
