#its my whole friend group

finding out your white and white male friends voted for the ultra right hurts but most of all it angers you

it angers you because they're your friends, have been your friends for over a decade, you grew up with them, you thought you shared the same values and it fucking sucks when politics finally becomes a topic of conversation, because you're grown now, and find out you don't really know these people, and it angers you because you've shared so much with them, with people you now realise are the exact same as people you've always despised and spoken up against

finding out your white and white male friends voted for the ultra right hurts and most of all it angers you but you ultimately see how it was always there

but finding out your queer friends, your immigrant friends, you neurodivergent friends, your barely-lower-middle class friends voted for the ultra right? friends you've seen go through struggles and discrimination and lack of possibilities? that shit cuts you like a knife to the fucking heart because you don't get it, you don't understand how they could listen to people that outwardly, blatantly and unapologetically hate them for who they are and are outright fascists and go "that's who I'm voting for, that's who represents me"

you don't get it and it angers you, it really does, but most of all it saddens you, it saddens you because they're dooming not just everyone else but themselves, too, either because they don't know or they don't care, and you don't know which one is worse

Genuinely being a single woman in my thirties, living alone, is such a mixed blessing sometimes. I do love my house and when I'm here I literally never want to leave. But on the other hand, I do get tired of leaving to go hang out with people, even though I love seeing them. Especially because I have such a great group of friends but they live all over the place, geographically, and therefore most of them don't know each other. And I actually really love hosting? But I never have people in my house because logistically it's always more practical for me to go to them than vice versa.

But sometimes I buy new old dishes and wanna just have a little fancy wizard party, but all my guests are far away. Please may I have the teleport spell. Or a high-speed commuter rail system.

#Hazard of moving to a city where i dont have people locally i guess #a very insular city at that #and honestly i am not lonely! I have lovely freinds! But I do miss the college days of everyone basically living in walking distance #in one city #as opposed to now #where DND takes me the width of the state on a weekly basis #usually the only time there are groups of people in my house is around christmas for the family holidays #and like...in the overall balance of my life this works #me going to my people is the logical choice #and its not a bad thing #but most of my friend groups are...local clusters where I am the out-of-towner these days #which again: fine; i knew that going in when I decided to move where I did and overall its the best call #but also sometimes I want to just load up the whole crew in detroit and tell them we're heading to mine this time #dont worry there'll be fancy little finger sammiches when we get there #just give me an excuse to use the wizard plates

Windy at my house + power flickering = no comm work = quick laptop doodle

#my characters #i genuinely hoped the wind would die down but like ??? nah? #and the last time we lost power without an actual storm it WAS bc of wind #and so i just get so panicked over please dont fry my tablet with a power surge #if it calms down by tonight i really wanna work on art since i spent almost all day yesterday struggling with a pose and i finally #think i thought of something that could work and then (gestures to the wind) fuck me #also in regards to these two you have seen me drawing deacon a lot recently and i only drew armya once so far #she is a devoted follower to fulj which is really rare since fulj no longer has a large following nor a temple #so when fulj finds her its comforting and reassuring and she adores armya a lot #however the fact that fulj relentlessly teases deacon and calls him names is like..... ok wait would you really be mean to me if it wasnt #for her ? like would you still pick on me? :c and shes like lol yeah dude absolutely #deacon is just constantly dunked on by the lightning group and hes so sad because he wanted to be friends :c #but also the guy wouldnt really recognize the followers if it wasnt for the traces of lady fulj #so if they would wander into the city without having been possessed recently he probably wouldnt even cast a glance their way #nothing personal he just straight up doesnt decipher looks fast at all #he could think they look familiar but then not know why ESPECIALLY if they wear something he's not used to them in #like if armya showed up in something other than her loose white jacket he would not be able to go AH YES ARMYA immediately #he identifies people by hair or clothing details so it kinda messes him up if people remove whatever identifying trait they have #long hair getting a hair cut? suddenly a whole new person #and armya knows this very well since he never looked her way unless fulj was possessing her or trailing her #so she does like to tease him as just. we are both in servitude to a deity and same rank but like. bro youre too easy to mock #(fulj agrees)

[potatobugz]

dynamic that i think would be really funny: Pip being uncharacteristically pissy & passive aggressive towards Gregory because he keeps one-upping him in every way. *forced smile thru gritted teeth* "hello gerogry how ar.eyou today"

and also Gregory does not realize that he hates him

he gets a little bit of jealousy. as a treat

#south park #sp #pip pirrup #pip pirrip #damien thorn #gregory of yardale #butters stotch #DO U UNDERSTAND MY VISION #and also pip is not being mean. theres q difference between hating someone and disrespecting them #he is still trying his best to be nice #but hes failing #and its very funny #also i really like the idea of. gregory cheistoph pip and damien friend group #i think Damien and Christophe would get along well actually #much to the dismay of pip #theres so much violence in his eyes. #ID ALSO LIKE TO THANK. GOOD FRIEND CALIKENFROMHELL FOR ENGAGING IN THE HYPERFIXATION W ME #GRINS #everyone jn the school thinks theyre besties & the whole time pip is just.on the verge of breaking #glass shattering sfx #the hilarity of it all #potatart

the “good luck liking this character because all people get out of their arc is the surrounding satosugu” club

shoko

riko

yuta

#babbles #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #jjk spoilers #in Tags #sooo tired of how ppl treat shoko like the only person geto+gojo are important to are eachother #as if their thing wasn’t being. A Trio #like hidden inventory is not just geto and gojo. there is a whole entire third person in that friend group #riko saddens me because (pronoun hcs incoming) his arc is so so tragic and he’s such a good character and YES the impact he had #on geto+gojo emotionally is important in fact that’s the entire reason he exists as a character. but its still saddening to care about riko #and only have people talk about him in the context of his role in other people’s arcs and how his death made geto Sooo Sad and not #his death being tragic in its own right because he had an entire life to live and was a kid who up until then thought he wanted to die #(I LOVE GETO HES ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS BUT CAN WE CARE ABOUT RIKO ON HIS OWN… pls…) #yuta here is mostly because jjk0 is just the satosugu movie to some people. But he doesn’t get this treatment As bad as the other two #(hmm shoko and riko in particular i wonder why.. #obligatory I LIKE SATOSUGU I JUST THINK PEOPLE ARE ANNOYING

alhaitham is such a lying liar who lies dude. acting like he and the sumeru boys gang have always been besties since forever. "that's how it's always been with the four of us" - man who has barely spoken to most of these people before he decided to team up with them to overthrow the government and regularly skips social gatherings with them. yeah right buddy ok

#explicitly said that he's barely spoken to cyno before when they clash in the archon quest #will literally just skip or show up late when they do meet up #very notably had a huge falling out with kaveh that ended with them not speaking for years #does he even talk to tighnari?? like one on one???? do they hang out???? #i stg kaveh and tighnari are the glue holding the whole situation together #the other 2 are just off to the side being autistic #well cyno actually tries to be social alhaitham doesnt give a fuck lmao #alhaitham after speaking to people that do not annoy him about once a month: 'hmm. i love my best friends' #he adopted a status quo and now simply pretends there has never been a different one #hes so fucking funny #genshin fans who try to make him some kind of big dick sexyman you are so wrong hes a silly goofy clown to me #on a more serious note i do actually much prefer the interpretation of this being a friendship they formed as adults #and everyone involved has different levels of closeness with each other #rather than making them all mutual best friends with each other (even since school sometimes). i think thats a lot more interesting #and canon is weirdly ambiguous about it so shrug #like the current friend groups as it is seems to be a relatively recent formation based on canon bits but then the writers lean into it #so hard as their Thing its a bit odd. but also fun to play with. they dont need to have always been friends to be close

[sneevl13t]

so i got a new kitten

#my art #art #nekopara catboys paradise #soooooo yeah #im into femboys and catboys now lmao #the story behind how i even played the game is awesome #my friend reccomended this to me since i like adwd and dear god #i showed it to my other friends and tehy told me to fukign play it #lo and behold a whole friend group is into this one fucking femboy #hes so bbg tho #malewife moment lol #but none of us like the leona kingscholar or dehay or whatever the fuck his name is #the himbo guy i forgot his name #ah right sage #yeah we just skipped the part whenever hes on #ITS THE SIDE VIEW MAN ITS THE SIDEVIEW!!!

Update on what i screenshoted from School Bus Graveyard

Also I found out that the reason it seemed so familiar when i started seeing it around was because my friend literally recommended it to me a few months back..

anyway

Ashlyn and Aiden being adorable hours. there is so much of them being cute, and Im always just. glad they can get what little comfort they may from getting closer because those kids sure need it

Another one, it is jsut. so soft. so important to me. Yes offer each other support and closeness in theese hard times, humans are mode for community

I dont think ive mentioned this but its so important to me how all the kids are caretakers of the group in their own ways, like they all care SO much and they show it in different ways but its undeniable.

Ashlyn cares in the way she tries to keep everyone alive and takes on responsibility and also in the way she is on the lookout for danger and generally tries to make plans and get them out of trouble

Taylor takes care of them in a more emotional core capacity, as in she has communiction skills that a majaority of them are indeed lacking in, she says things that need to be said and she helps keep them all together

Tyler on the other hand tends to care for people more in a way fo things he can Do, like doing laundry and feeding when they lived with their mom, practical things, and in the group its very much taking point, hitting things, going over and scaring of that guy that was bullying logan

Ben takes care of them in a medical way, he ptches them up physically and he worries about them and offers his silent support, and like he is still such a teen about it, they all are, but just. When they met up in the facility and tyler was like how about some words of encouragement? tell me its going to be okay and shit, and Ben just wnet and touched him while doing thumbs up, that was so sweet and so teen behaviour i love them all. And of course he is also protective in the way that he gets angry on logans behalf and would also hit someone physically as well

And the way Aiden cares for their little group might be filled with jokes, and a lot of adrenaline and overall danger seeking behaviour, but he still tries so hard, like yes he bothers people on purpose but he also livens a lot of situations, and when they need him he is there and delivers, he tries to ground ben, and ashlyn as well, he is the sort of prescence that you know will stay by your side

And Logan probably shows the most outwards signs of being scared but he still does so much and he clearly cares about the group back. He protects their back and worries about them and when push comes to shove he is there and pulling more then his weight, he helps so much with figuiring out the way the shadow realm works (thats what im calling it. it seems correct to me) and when he got that card? Like he doesnt seem to be very used to having actual close friends, which is true for most of them, but he does care about people and he does try to help others

Idk i just love all theese kids

also, this one hit different, i was so worried about tyler, im glad he is alright-ish for now

Also i know its easy to see how Ashlyn is a lot like her mom, especially in the beginning chapthers but i think its cool to see how much she is like her dad as well

I know there are a lot of other things to be said, and that i probably need a little more time to properly think about stuff and analyze before i can make any actual analysis but for now Ill probably put it a bit on the backburner

On the topic of theories and stuff thou, the phantoms to me have very much seemed connected to shadows in some way, as the changes in the real world affect their shadows, but people who dont see it dont seem to see the changes aeither, as we sall with ashlyns parents, and the things they said abour rifts - it overall definelty has a different, potentionally mirror dimention feeling. Also, If the phanthoms are caugh people, then the giant sentepede thing is likely a turned animal maybe? It seems likely to me that the forest would have less humanoid beings because it is less populated

Also im really curious about Logans grandparents and hoe they got that sedative. Also i have the bad feeling that their parents will get hit with the comatose version of being taken into the rift.

Also im curious about the power surges our guys cause. They seem to be emotion based, but I dont see why the other victims wouldnt cause them? Maybe they didnt stay together? or maybe they didnt live long enough? likely both but im not sure its tge reason. Also if it IS connnected to their emotional/psychological state then does that have anything to do with why aiden recovered faster? Personally i think it also has to do with the type of injury, but like do you heal faster in the shadow realm if you have depression? Or does it have something to do with your own self perception of youe wounds?

#me #a shitpost can be blue #school bus graveyard #the friend that recommended it to me is actually still on chapther 6 #she do be like that with most types of comics #and im over here reading mangas at record speeds for our friend group #like when im in a comics mood im reading 10 vilainess stories in a few days then startinh 3 whole ass novels #anyway ive been reading manga for a long time and its always painfully clear hoe my main limiter is how i dont have mobile data

a friend who'd wait :)

#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops. #and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can! #and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol #finn's ocs #finn's art #i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me #and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun #i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here: #barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past #he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it #he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned #which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them #they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore #but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird #and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place #though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library #and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together #since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door #eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement #barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time. #barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate #but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd #he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself #but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done. #and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies. #and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them) #and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances'' #from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov #sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3 #but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh

[bambiraptorx]

idk if this will ever show up in any of my fics but at one point draxum had a friend group composed mostly of fellow weird academics from different fields and they would hang out and have pointless debates about things like taxonomy and whatnot. one such debate was whether the horns on his helmet actually count as horns or antlers or something else entirely, partly because of genuine pedantic interest and partly because it annoyed draxum.

#bambi's rambling #rottmnt #rottmnt au #minor interference lore #<- not limited to that au but thats the lore tag lol #the exact fate of this friend group depends on the au #but in most of them draxum kinda... stops hanging out with them after he starts his whole 'destroy humanity' plan #partly cause he wants more time to work on it and partly cause its very much illegal and he knows they would stop him from it #but anyway buana (my version of tigerclaw) is part of this friend group #not so much because he's an academic as he also likes roasting draxum and this is The Social Group for roasting draxum lmao

OH RHIS SUCKS

#why does it always happen like this im so tired!!! every single friend i make in school leaves #it has happened four times in yhe past five years!!!!! #and most of this i barely talked to after they left. i dont want to lose contact with her too i dont want that #shes one of the only people in this whole school i actively enjoy talking to #we were going to go to the same high school but i dont even know if thats gonna be possible either #yeah my other friends are gonna be there too which is gonna be great its gonna be so much fun but i wanted her to be there too #im not sure how far away the town shes going to is from here but i hope its not too far #i know for a fact long distance friendships never last long. at least for me #who am i gonna hang out with at school now ?? my sister and her friends are there but i dont wanna bother them #theres the group we hung out with but i mostly ever talked to her not them ! theyre nice i dont dislike them at all but theyre not the kind #of people id talk to #i dont have anything in common with them i dont have anything to tell them or any interest in the things they talk about #URGHHH #she was going to come to my home to watch mamma mia!!! we were going to finish watching metal family as well :( #shes leaving the town the 14 apparently....

one of my top 10 hobbies has to be getting added to a large group chat and then people forgetting i am there.

#my ex just admitted in front of everyone and the eyes of god that she has not gotten any since we broke up #in spite of trying really hard to get. anything. and talking about how she desperately needs to get dicked down. GIRL. what. #responded to the message with R I P in letter emojis uhm. i dont think anyone will even #notice tbh but its funny to me. personally. #funniest thing is i kinda knew that this was happening but im like well now i have confirmation from the source i guess lol #HONORABLE MENTION OF ANOTHER SITUATION IN THIS GENRE: my friend is a dancer #with a really competitive dance group and she's in a small group of like 13 people who she #interacts with every day and she had a sort of falling out with them thats too complicated to get into here. #but before the falling out they added her to a shared photo album. and right before she decided she was done with the whole thing #she woke up one morning to a notification saying that there were 50+ new photos added to the shared album #and thats how she found out they did a holiday party where they invited everyone but her...
