i also think the fact that i had such a stunted and isolated upbringing and now that im an adult all my friends are on atypical life paths (and honestly even my friends as a kid were like this too) means i find things that are usually very common life stages really interesting. like knowing someone who has a house and a wife and 2 kids (with that wife) and a job with a salary feels like meeting fucking paul bunyun to me. or hearing the kids i work with talk about graduating high school and going to college and being on a real path with that stuff is neat? or even sometimes knowing cis/het people who are like going thru that coming of age stuff that i never really experienced the way you see it in the movies bc of transness/queerness/neurodivergence. its like woah they said the name of the thing in the thing. do u know what i mean???

i think one thing i'm never gonna get over about the movie is that the memorial wall full of art — some of the drawings are of shadow nimona. i can't get screenshots right now but like. shadow nimona smiling. beaming. getting hearts and smiles and hugs, from the kids, from other shadow creatures. it's just. it's so sweet. like it's the kids who drew that taking all that raw hurt and vulnerability from the final act and giving it the hug and empathy and solidarity it needed. and it's like, look at nimona's line after the kwispy incident, look at the cereal ad, the board game billboard; look at gloreth being taught hate, and then look at the drawings. and i just lose it every time i think about it

Well, that friend I had a fallout with texted after a month. I was worried, though I did suspect she was taking a break. Didn’t mind it, of course— but her message is extremely dismissive and I have been laid off as a friend. “I appreciated” “you were always” and yeah all too familiar.
Can’t help but feel a bit betrayed despite it being me the one who sparked the disagreement we had. I didn’t do it consciously, I was stupid and rash and should have taken her feelings into consideration. And I am deeply hypocritical thinking she should have given me a heads up. Now she’s a month ahead into dismissing me— and I feel it.
I feel really sad about this, despite everything. It was a short friendship but she was a smart, sweet girl and I appreciated her beyond fandom shit. And fuck fandom. And fuck it for real. But she has also frustrated me in the way she handled it. I suppose I didn’t deserve a second try and it’s fine. I will respect her boundaries.
But to say “if you wanna get it off your chest” don’t you? She worried about being immature and what if she was sometimes? I never cared. I never cared about her being sensitive and letting herself feel. I never give myself space for that. What exactly is being immature in her mind? It was refreshing to see someone so attune to what they felt. Come to think of it—I am immature. I am immature writing this now and complaining about everything to no one and always rationalizing everything. And I will be a coward in not replying because everything I say sounds dismissive and framed as a farewell. And I don’t wish for it.
Anyway I’m just all over the place about this. I’m just ranting and victimizing myself. Look away.

would it be the worst financial decision in the world if i left two months early but kept paying my rent…. i hate being here so much which sucks so much shit bc i loooved this house but living with this random roommate is TORTURE i’m anxious 24/7 already bc of social reasons but that i could cope with except bc of the cat thing that happened earlier (roommate left our back door wide open then went to sleep and My cat got out) (i found her) now i feel unsafe because she’s leaving doors unlocked and wide open while we’re sleeping and now it’s 4am and i’m just laying here awake. i can’t move for at least two months bc i work at a school but after that i might just pack up all my stuff into a storage unit or smth and drive for an extended visit to my parents house
