The End, by Alister Lockhart.
Bruh, if you don’t think that having historically significant events well documented from multiple perspectives is a good thing, then idk what the hell u doin.
Besides, like, that is literally a Giant Monster Rampaging Through The Town. What the fuck is the everyday person gonna do other than Tweet/Instagram/Post about it going “It’s the apocalypse you guys! Eyyyy lmao #apocalypse #deathrising #nofilter”?
#like come on your cellphone may not defeat the beast#but it can gain you like 50000 followers before the skies start raining blood so#who’s the REAL winner here? (via @purplebloodedmajesty)
And heck, even if your own death is inevitable getting information out could help save other people, even if it can’t save you. ‘Here are 20 livestreams of the giant tentacle monster including how it moves and attacks, how can we beat it?’ is way more useful than ‘an entire city got wiped off the map and things smell vaguely of calimari idk man’
If people don’t tweet, Instagram and snapchat my beautiful face when I rise from the depths I am going straight back to R’lyeh until the world is ready to give me the internet fame I deserve #ICanFhtagn
Not to take this to a dark place, but I live in Southern California and yesterday there was a shooting. Multiple gunshots. It was through Twitter that people were constantly updating each other. People were letting other know about the campus locking down, possible suspects, etc. It turned out to be a murder-suicide but what if this was yet another school shooting?
People bag on social media and how we “document and tweet everything” but social media is how information is spread and especially during times of an emergency, it is fucking invaluable.
