If you don’t mind me asking, what does outgrowing someone mean to you?

it's just when your values or priorities or overall person stops aligning w theirs i think. i used to contextualize outgrowing people as a dramatic falling out!! i hate their guts!! they did me dirty!! but w growing up came the revelation that that's hardly ever the case. most of my experiences outgrowing people have been a slow burn. each of us takes a step back, one bit at a time, and then it suddenly hits that the differences have grown far too wide to reconcile. it's almost never just this cataclysmic moment where they're this monumentally shitty caricature of a person.

and sometimes it's just you taking that step back, while they remain in place. sometimes it's just them, and you feel abandoned and stuck. but i stopped demonizing people who just naturally drift away from me--and i also stopped feeling guilty for drifting away from people. i think this is a major thing i've struggled w after reconnecting w a close friend: the realization that she's not a bad person, that she's been going to therapy and addressing her issues, that she's far kinder and more patient and more understanding now... but that maybe she's still not for me and that is okay. at the end of the day it really does come down to how that person makes you feel.

i used to suppress my gut feeling & intuition & just force myself to dwell around people who felt like they were sapping me of air rather than imbuing my life in any way. bc i didn't wanna hurt their feelings. bc they're not a bad person. bc they didn't do anything wrong. but what about what i wanted? so long as you're not a jerk about communicating these feelings, i think it's valid to acknowledge you've outgrown someone--whether it bc bc they changed, whether it be bc you changed, or whether it be bc you woke up one day and just started feeling differently. you're not wrong in that, and neither is anyone in your life who may feel that way about you in the future.

#if this is suspiciously sounding like it's also a reminder to me thats bc it is #ive only recently gotten more in tune w myself and stopped demonizing my feelings if they didn't align w somebody else's #im not trying to be harsh but clinging on to people who dont make you feel much #bc theyre familiar... bc theyre doing better... because because because #does neither of you a favor. wouldnt you rather they were in the company of someone who appreciated them for who they are #rather than someone who's forcing that appreciation? thats how i see it

Not going to lie, I’m surprised the fandom isn’t eating up the new tone shift and characters’ struggles in ep5. Maybe I’m not looking in the right spaces but fandoms usually love that stuff.

I KNOW I mean the amount of angst art that was made prior to the episode really made me think people were gonna take everything from the new ep and run with it. Though that's not to say people didn't. I've seen plenty of people discuss what happened in the episode (especially regarding John and his daughter/his family in general,, people were going insane over that and I get it like we're getting deeper into what happened to him and his family which I'm also super interested in. Plus seeing his photos in Ignacio's house really got people discussing his connections/past with the cult and how there's such a specific focus on John).

#Grim answers #spooky month #maybe I'm also looking in the wrong places pff #but I kinda hate that one of the things I remember regarding the whole John nd Ignacio thing was ppl making a stink out of shipping them #GUYS PLEASE ARE WE NOT GOING TO DISCUSS THE IMPLICATIONS OF IGNACIO KEEPING SUCH A CLOSE EYE ON JOHN SPECIFICALLY?? #OR THE FACT HE LIKELY REPORTED GREGOR TO THE CULT AND HAD HIM KIDNAPPED AND INDOCTRINATED?? #<< Oh and speaking of that some ppl thought Gregor died but I'm like 99% sure they just got him into the cult #I'm pretty sure they only sacrifice children to The Eyes #Plus having a little-known but potentially powerful religious figure work under their cult could work so well in their favour #Like I think I saw someone say that Gregor being in the cult could be a means to get more people into the cult by tricking them into- #thinking Gregor's church is just an innocent regular one. But once you get in it's just another way for the cult to find more members #But no one really thinks much about it since again Gregor is new in town so he's not really known. No one is going to be suspicious of a- #sudden change in behaviour from him (except maybe Jack and John + Skid and Pump but Skid and Pump are too naive to realise) #I went off topic there oops #I JUST REALISED THERE'S SO MUCH FANFIC AND FANART POTENTIAL THERE #CULTIST GREGOR WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!! /silly

Just saw your tags about Dick & Clark meeting first, where is this from?

the old time radio the adventures of superman show from the 1940s! unfortunately most of the serial was lost - we only have episode 2, 4, and 5, out of a 12 part serial. they are number 432-434 in this archive, if you wanna listen dick shows up in 433/part 4!

in brief, batman goes missing on a dangerous mission he refused to let dick in on, and dick, after trying everything, ends up writing a letter to superman asking for his help, and sends it to the planet. clark finds dick unconscious on a boat and rescues him, and they start working together to find bruce! and then the rest of the episodes are lost so we have to piece together the rest of the plot through secondhand sources :,)

#otr taos #< there's a more detailed listening guide and how-to in that tag on me blog if you're interested :^) #basically radioclark speedran becoming a stepdad #was thinking about it reading wf today...like there are a ton of versions of the first bruce and clark meeting #and many of them are suspicious/antagonistic etc. #but back then. bruce wasn't uhh. quite so BruceTM. and that first impression... superman protecting his lil robin... #from the first bruce trusted clark because he was there for dick. bc he helped dick when bruce was trapped. #and from then on they just. constantly save each others lives. and they go trout fishing together. and bruce is the only person clark tells #his identity. radio superbat is such a good flavor of superbat #it always makes me ;w; #the second episode which IS complete is batman and clark kent going to the amusement park together :) (to find kidnapped jimmy and dick) #also the radio show has a fun adaptation of dick's origin story where his parents are associated with the French Resistance #and that's why they were killed. bc it was contemporary! #old timey radio husbands

✨⚡️ Seven(ish) Sentence Sunday ⚡️✨

Tagged by @acountrygirlsfun (a couple times by now, though not actually this most recent time, but I figure it still counts!) Thank you, Caitlin <3 <3 <3

Helix took a deep breath in, counted four flashes of the desperate direct-@ lights coming in from his side chat panels, and breathed out.  His voice came out steady, and miraculously casual.  "We understand why you did it. You were trying to keep our brothers safe." He watched Harp's eyes go wide at the 'our' brothers. Like he hadn't expected the rest of them to claim the Corries. Because he'd been hiding from them just like from the longnecks, he had falsified his— Deep breath in. Two flashes, no time for longer, leave no silence for Harp to panic in.  Breathe out. Keep going. 

This is not seven sentences, but it's also largely not complete sentences anyway, and it is literally what I just seconds ago finished writing. Still counts!

No-pressure tagging uhhh @ialpiriel, @goingsparebutwithprecision, @anaclastic-azurite, anybody else who might want to play?

#tagged by #acountrygirlsfun #I should be taking a shower and going to sleep but this scene isn't clicking so rather than getting frustrated I'm posting it here #I will have to go back through in my rewrites later and make sure everyone doesn't have their breakdowns in the same way #I do a bit better when the characters are speaking out loud #but for internal thought processes I tend to end up with them all sounding suspiciously similar to my own. whoops #anyway this is more of the good data management AU! we've just learned that the Corrie Guards Are Not Okay #and now most everybody else is also Not Okay! we're having bad times today folks #in the story I mean. I had a fine day! #and though it is emotionally fraught and currently fighting me I am still very happy to be getting back to my beloved Guard #Harp's a medic OC and I adore him and he and the Guard he's trying so hard to take care of really deserve a break #and now their brothers are a little more aware (seriously they have only just nicked the tippest bit of iceberg) of how not okay they are #a break they shall shortly receive!! #(it's gonna come with a double helping of Bother so they won't be very grateful. but they will be better rested and that's what matters)

"each thing I learn about you just makes me want to know you more" <-text from my neighbor just now. i don't know what i'm winning at, but i'm definitely winning at something.

#he wants to go for a walk tomorrow so i can tell him about my favorite words from the french dictionary. #'do you do anything that's not dorky and interesting?' <-another direct quote #he said that before he knew about the dictionary. this was in response to learning i write crosswords #joke's on him though because now that he knows about the dictionary i think he's caught up on all the dorky & interesting stuff #i do feel like i'm really winning this acquaintanceship. not as a competition between him and me but rather #as a competition between this acquaintanceship and all other acquaintanceships i've had with other people #the trick is to not say anything about your hobbies for the first like. four interactions. then you start parceling them out one at a time. #it only works because we have so much other stuff to talk about. being neighbors. #like at no point have we had to do the awkward 'so what do you do for fun?' thing. so it's just when it comes up organically #anyway i'm enjoying this because i usually feel like i'm a VERY boring person #but i have just been nailing the pacing here. the suspense! keep em wanting more #myfirstname mylastname international man of mystery #also the other day we were talking and i said 'i told you about my mom's vibrator‚ right?' because i was sure i had told him that story #and he was like NO????? so basically he just thinks my life is about 5000% more interesting than it actually is #i'm fine with that though. if it means i get a walking buddy (who has a cat! and gives me fruit sometimes!!!) all the better #fuck it i will just make a tag for him #voisin de palier #now i need to find my first post about him from like 2018 when i was sooooo suspicious of him for absolutely no reason

YAYYY MISHA THEME!!!

MISHA 💖💓🩷❤️💕💖💓🩷💖❤️💖💓💓💖🩷💓

#i loevev them so much did you know that #currently saving up for him and it is HELL after spending it all on sparkel .so many quests and not enough timw ......... #and . ouhhh havent had the chance to talk abt . shit what is it called . lemme go see real quick . #A CHILDS DREAM . yknow that one map with the text on the walls and the melted clocks and stuff . #that was done . SO incredibly well it makes me INSANE........... #so like . im 100.1% sure the speaker (who talks abt mikhail a lot) in that room is misha. #like that IS her voice right . im not going insane #its just . auuh... the dreams (or at least golden hour) in peacony are so childlike .... like . some of the puzzles are jigsaw puzzle ; #turn into a small cartoon character ; and help the cartoon character find his cartoon gears . #and then you get to clockie . who can only be seen by someone w a childs innoence (or smth around those lines) #and that misha can see clockie . which like . cool right ? yeab. UNTIL YOU GET TO A CHILDS DREAM .. #where theres something just ... sososo off . #and its ... its just gotta be misha . its gotta be . idk if theres anything outside of main story im missing (there probably is) #BUT . augh . auf even . #childs dream still has these childlike qualities to it (the paper birds; walking on walls) but just ... more warped #(the general atmosphere of the place; the monsters even .) #the music having a music box to make the tone of the song more distressing ... how its so much more smaller than golden hour .. #aughhhhhh ... its just such a good parallel..... i could talk abt it all day really . #anyways . i WAS going to tell u abt my misha theory (which may or may not be confirmed) bu t i got DISTRACTED. #uhh anyways . my theory is that misha is somehow trapped in peacony . #when misha goes onto the parlor car they mention that theyve never been outside of peacony before and that she can t stay for long . #which i imagine is very normal! BUT its this combined w her lock motif (pupils; most of the doors in childs dream) thag make me suspicious #i mentioned before that golden hour has a very childish quality to it. and that misha has that childish quality. #okay well . what if mishas being kept there so that golden hour can keep on being a dream for other people? #and so that would make golden hour mishas dream. (or part of his dream? could be more people the familys keeping) #and that would imply that childs dream is . well . mishas nightmare . #uhm . i think thats it ..? if i come up w anything else ill . ramble abt it somewhere . definitely not the most eloquent but #i hope i got the point across <33 #i think its an understatement to say i love misha . i LOVE MISHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Events of last night:

Me: *crying*

My girlfriend: what's wrong?? :(

Me: *struggling to form words* intrusive thoughts are bad... I don't want to talk about them because then I'm scared that they're true and you might think I'm awful

My girlfriend: ah I actually get that. I have those a lot. It doesn't mean anything though, intrusive thoughts are just like dreams. Like the things you do in them aren't really things you want to do, it's just stuff your brain comes up with.

#we then very heavily related over having the same intrusive thoughts and now I'm suspicious #thinking about when i told her i might have ocd and she said i didnt #and starting to feel like thats because... what if we both have ocd #it seems like she was basing her entire knowledge of conditions on people shes known with those conditions. which makes sense #but the person/ people with ocd had severe cleaning compulsions and the like #where as me and her obsess much more over morality #like its very clear we think about it so much. and idk what to do with that information #we both feel like the intrusive thoughts and obsessive ruminating are the only things that keep is from being bad people #or that prevent us from being bad people i guess. idk why that wording is just slightly more accurate #like people who dont think about these things (apparently all 'normal' people since this could be *an actual disorder*) #they're not constantly analyzing. trying to be aware. asking themselves questions about their true nature. judging those answers #theyre not really doing that with other people either. of course i could be wrong since im very clearly not a normal person. #but this is what i mean! im speculating about other people and acknowledging the ways i could be wrong and just trying to figure it all out #but it seems like no one does that and it doesnt *make them* bad people. it just doesn't prevent them from that happening either #like theyre just as likely to hurt people as the 'bad' person thats thinking the same way they are #and i cant ever be comfortable with me living that reality even when *this reality* is a waking nightmare #sure im tearing my skin off (good ole skin picking disorder) when im thinking about these things. sure im crying. sure i can't sleep. #sure it makes me feel like im constantly a horrible person and need to attone for everything ive done and havent done #sure. but then i turn around and say its helping me. because why else would my brain torture me? isnt it always about protecting me? #i don't know. all i know is who i dont want to be and what i dont want. so that exactly what my brain convinces me is real #i guess what it kinda comes to do is #would you rather live a reality where everything around you is superficial. your thoughts behaviors and thoughts. your reactions #all of them are things youre never aware of. you could be hurting people or you could be helping themm #you could even be hurting yourself. but you would never know. its a comfortable reality that youre never really aware of #OR would you rather live a reality aware of all those things. seeking answers and sometimes finding them. #trying your hardest to help others and better yourself and fix the broken things in this world #your reality is one where you recognize every threat that no one else does and it kills you inside because they wont always listen #theyre comfortable and you're stuck in a reality where you try and try and try but even when you succeed #your brain forms its own reality. a metaphorical jail. where you never get to experience the reality you fought so hard for #instead you exist in this sort of purgatory where you live out your own worst fears and the worst ways you could have failed

seeing someon being like "woww we did it guys. binders at target. *sighs* i hate capitalism" is honestly frustrating considering how inaccessible safe binding is if you can't order stuff online or from explicitly trans websites. back when i was in high school, i knew multiple kids who would be THRILLED to have these compression tops! yes, they're not as sturdy as a full binder, but they're a good in-between, especially for teens who gotta stay closeted or with unsupportive families! seeing this important step in accessibility for our trans and gnc youth get treated as cringe because it's a big corporation is infuriating. THIS IS SOME TRANS PPLS ONLY HOPES FOR ACCESSING SAFE AND COMFORTABLE BINDING. Don't let your anticapitalist ideals come before that, you fucking walnuts. Getting safe binders/compression tops into large chains is part of the GOAL.

#yes i know there's mail programs for free binders but that does not fit the criteria for mail being unsafe #or anything overtly a binder not being safe #im just fucking bitter. ppl talking shit abt the binders without even fucking looking into them #muhh capitalism bad selling binders in chain stores bad and performative shut the fuck up #I DONT CARE IF ITS PERFORMATIVE. TRANS KIDS CAN SAFELY AND DISCREETLY BIND #if you care more about your ideals than that fuck you you privileged reactionary prick #do you understand how quickly many of the styles sold out? BECAUSE THEYRE A GODDAMN NECESSITY AVAILABLE ON A WIDE SCALE FOR THE FIRST TIME #i stg as far as rainbow capitalism goes target is one of the best ones and i swear the amount of critique/hate i see pointed at them #SPECIFICALLY #is suspicious as hell to me. #like for the heinous ones you get an infographic but target? everyone's gonna clown on bc its trendy and umm totally activism!! #when targets the only one making the effort to get shit relevant and helpful to us too and hiring queer artists and etc #sharing alternative artists you can support directly = good! art is more of a want and there's not really much in way of ramifications #''ick binders from target are cringe and must suck and be unsafe but i havent looked into it tho. capitalism sucks lol' = bad. #wtf is wrong with you
