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.

I like it.
I think the greenery in these pictures is doing quite a bit of lifting. Brutalist buildings without plants are less fun to look at
I think that was the original idea for brutalist buildings, complementing them with plants? I don't want to look for a source right now though, so take it with a grain of salt.
Any building without plants is less fun to look at
Brutalism without greenery does not work well in general. I love the post apocalyptic vibes of a concrete building overgrown by plants.
These look like defensive structures from a war movie with some plants on them
I've been looking for a reason why I find them unpleasant and you found it for me. They look like the decaying Nazi bunkers I got to explore on a Danish beach when I was a kid.
Though I also don't like massive towers of glass. Or rowhomes. Or really cities in general. Give me a nice cave in a swamp any day.
