New pinned post to introduce myself to new and potential followers, and reintroduce myself after coming back from hiatus.

I'm Ben Literal and my goal is to make queer male art A HELLUVA LOT more diverse.

What exactly is the point of following over 108,000 people on a social media app? Why are you following what is more or less the population of Visalia, California? What are you doing, bb? What fun could you POSSIBLY be having with that?

I just randomly remembered that Richard Simmons isn't alive anymore and it honestly made me so sad.

That high you get from seeing a really hot friend's nudes for the first time.

I have such weird fetish combinations. Like, I want you to wear tighty-whities, but also fishnets. And if you could put on a pair of nylon joggers on top of it all, that'd be just swell.

I'm...an enigma.

I'll never forget when a rando followed me one day on Instagram. He became my long distance bestie in 2018, long distance boyfriend in 2019, live-in boyfriend in early 2020, fiancé in late 2020, and husband in 2024. And here we are in 2025 still doin' the THANG! Can't imagine life without him.

I feel the same way about guys who only exist on social media to plug their OnlyFans that I feel about those high-pressure salespeople you see in the mall. Like, I respect the hustle. I really do. You're out here trying to do your thing and make your money. But like...please leave me alone.

Dudes are really walking around unironically calling themselves "alpha"? I thought that was just a joke. Meanwhile, this is what I think of every time: "Ay-yi-yi!"

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔
zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Not to mention all the lying I have to do about how I loooove high pressure environments, as if I didn't have a meltdown just a few days ago because I couldn't decide if I wanted pizza or a sandwich. Girl, I am not built for pressure.

It's Day 1 of my new job today, so I know they're gonna expect me to be Mr. Happy Face. But I'm in such a garbage mood right now and I honestly just feel like crying.

I'm glad I'm employed, but I'm not glad about the amount of social masking that comes with it.
