This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The tiktok-ification of fucking everything into a trend is the worst in regards to this. The last few years, it feels like any time I'm interested in picking up a hobby that seems like it would/should be cheap and simple to get into, tiktokers have already blown through, turned something into a '-core' for content, and left nothing but over-inflated prices in their wake.
First off, I don't think tiktokers have as much influence over the cost of a hobby as inflation and every other market force that has increased prices. Everything is more expensive and blaming influencers doesn't help.
With that said, it's like Gen Z saw Millennials being Hipsters who pay wayyyy too much for 'vintage crap' and said 'Hold my vape,' then went and did the same thing to literally anything else.
