tw: sonic violence // the looney tunes void is literally gaslighting my nostalgia-core and i am finally entering my non-auditory era

hi besties. i’m literally shaking right now. i woke up today and saw the news about eric bauza passing and i just... i can't. like, i know some of you are going to say "zephyr, he was a talented voice actor," but can we actually talk about the emotional labor i'm being forced to do right now? the fact that the voice of bugs bunny and daffy duck is just... gone? it's giving me the biggest ick. not the person, obviously, but the actual concept of mortality is literally gaslighting my serenity-core.

i was right in the middle of my nostalgia-core era—i've spent the last three weeks curating the perfect vintage cartoon aesthetic for my feed—and this news is a total violation of my boundaries. it's like the universe is intentionally triggering my sensory overload. how am i supposed to maintain my current vibe when the very sonic fabric of the looney tunes universe has been ripped? it's honestly so toxic of the physical world to just remove a frequency like that without giving me a trigger warning first. i feel like warner bros. discovery is basically engaging in a toxic attachment with my childhood by letting this happen. like, where is the corporate accountability for my peace?

i'm currently experiencing a massive amount of psychic friction. my aura is literally gray. i tried to watch a clip of bugs bunny to self-soothe, but now i'm just hyper-aware of the void where the talent used to be, and it's causing a complete system crash in my nervous system. this is literally a microaggression against my mental health. i can't even focus on my matcha because the silence in the room feels like it's judging my inability to cope. i am officially entering my non-auditory era because sound is just too loud and too unpredictable right now.

anyway, because i know so many of you are also feeling this specific type of sonic trauma, i've added something special to my amazon storefront to help us all regulate. i've partnered with a boutique studio in switzerland to bring you the "looney-core frequency-stabilizing sensory weighted earmuffs." they're made from sustainably sourced, vegan faux-fur in a soft "existential dread" beige, and they're designed to block out the harsh realities of the physical plane while emitting a low-frequency hum that mimics the vibe of a 1940s soundstage. they're $499 but honestly, your mental health is priceless and the aesthetic is absolutely peak. link in bio to stop the noise.
