I have a stupid crush on someone.
I shouldn’t. I had a small boost in therapy today where I realized I can have hope for the future. It sounds silly but I can allow myself to dream beyond the day’s goals and hope to achieve big things.
I get butterflies when I think about her. She’s the first person in a long time that made me feel like this. I’ve had friends who were understanding of my situation or were good at listening to me or stuff like that. She’s the first person who wouldn’t leave my mind and I would be worried[?] for. Like I have anxious questions like is she okay, is she doing well with her courses, is she getting home safely, etc…
It’s so silly. Her focus is on school and research. She doesn’t need someone like me bothering her beyond what’s needed to help her with those things. I… I want to go on a hike with her.
I’m going to go to the gym and do the stair master. I’m gonna run. I’m gonna work out.
I need to be able to keep up with her. I need to be able to be more than I am right now. She doesn’t need me. She’s doing great.
I just… I felt happy hearing her say she was behind me when I went to the area to study.
She sees my vulnerable side. She and I ate ramen. This is nothing. These are what friends do. I..
I can’t think of a life with her. She is a colleague and friend.
But god, do I think about her. I always get slightly happy when I see her.
She said I am her person. When it comes to social situations, she uses me as a person. She said I seem to get her. I don’t want to ruin anything. We barely talked about anything deep.
I don’t eat organs. I didn’t grow up with grandparents. I am an alcoholic. I am overweight. I have bad skin. I have a soft personality. I’m not protective. I am scary at times.
I am not worth her time beyond being friends.
She doesn’t need me.
This is just a crush and nothing needs to come out of it. Gosh, do I love hearing her explain things. The smug smile she has when she’s right. The excited look she has when she has a question or tests out her answers. I want to want to relieve her stress and help her figure out what works best for her issues with work or homework. I want to be someone she can always come to for help. I’m nobody. I don’t have a clean room.
I don’t even have sheets on my bed. I don’t take care of myself. She needs someone who can go on hikes with her. She needs someone who can drive.
I am a fool for having feelings for her. Oh my god, I feel so awkward.

Figuring out that I was aplatonic made so much sense.
I’ve never made a friend on my own. All the friends I’ve made approached me and made me their friend, or I met through friends. I’ve never felt a desire to have friends. Even as a child I never felt I needed them, which made adults think there was something wrong with me and peers think I was stuck up, thinking I was “too good” to be friends with them. I was seen as a mean person. Adults pulled me aside to ask me why I was by myself, and I told them I didn’t like people. I told them I didn’t want to be around people. I said there were more important things to worry about. This got me sent to school counselors, who would ask me why I pushed people away and didn’t want friends and I didn’t have a reason. I enjoy my friends’ company, but I don’t miss them when I’m away. I never understood why it mattered so much, even as a kid. I always preferred to be alone, honestly. I thought for the longest time it was related to being autistic and ADHD, and maybe it is to an extent, but I simply never liked people and never had a desire to be friends with them.
I’d already known I was aroace. I never felt a desire to have sexual or romantic relationships. I never saw a point. I felt no attraction towards anyone and had no desire to. My life was enjoyable without it. Once I learned about aromanticism and asexuality, I understood that that was what I am.
However, aroace spaces put so much emphasis on platonic love that I never felt like I really belonged in the aroace community. I felt like I was still weird and gross. I felt like a freak who was destined to be alone, someone who could never be fulfilled and would always be missing something. I felt like a freak in my own community because I felt no love. I didn’t feel platonic love or attraction and frankly didn’t want to.
I found the word “aplatonic”. Someone who feels no platonic love or attraction. Now I understand that’s who I am, and that’s not a bad thing. My life is no worse without love. I’m not missing something. I still live a fulfilling life. I’m still human.

Feels pretty ludicrous that we talk about dog welfare in sports and the ethics of competing with dogs and what not but at the same event we just get spoon fed the glorification of using dogs in active police duty and we’re all just like yes this is totally normal and good actually 👍

I think one of the weirdest thing to me about Helluva Boss is how they keep proving that Striker is right but at the same time they refuse to let Striker himself be right.
Someone on twitter pointed out that in Oops Striker talks about it being an embarrassment to imp kind that Fizz is a purse-dog to his over-bloated master, and then, while Striker might’ve been referring to Ozzie (although the use of over-bloated makes me wonder if he truly meant Mammon), the entirety of the next episode is all about Fizz saying fuck you to Mammon (his master) and quitting his job because he doesn’t wanna be exploited or abused anymore.
And this just reminded me how in the first season they had Striker say to Blitz “Starting with the one that treats you like a plaything.” about Stolas’ treatment towards him in Harvest Moon and then in Truth Seekers (the next episode) they literally had Stolas say “Who dare threaten my impish little plaything.”
I don’t know if this parallel is on purpose but that’s twice now where in back to back episodes in each season Striker has a made a point about the hierarchy in his episode and then the following episode goes out of its way to prove his point.
I just think it’s odd how they prove that he is right in other character’s storylines but in Striker’s own storyline he’s like not allowed to have a win despite everything around him saying he should.

I think that Jason has a stuffed animal that one of his guardians in New Rome have to him when he was a baby. A wolf or a fox or some other dog/cat-like creature - maybe even a stuffed hellhound or something, something that he rediscovers on accident while in the 5th Cohort’s barracks, something that makes him sit down on the floor holding it in his hands and cry, for some reason, something he can’t even remember but he knows was important to him once upon a time.

The next one on my list is Robin Arellano!!!
He likes rock n roll, milkshakes, and watching scary movies!
In this au, Robin definitely is trying to block out everything that happened to him. Any mention of the grabber and he’s changing the subject, and is uncomfortable.
He tries very hard to not be affected by it, to not think about how he couldn’t kill the bastard who did that to him, but in the end it does effect him. It effects him a lot.
Robin can’t stand the scars on his forearms, they’re always going to remind him of what he “failed” to do in his mind, something he knows isn’t his fault but can’t help but blame himself for. He doesn’t wear his bandannas anymore after having to see his cut up and bloodied one from his own kidnapping be put in an evidence bag.
He tries everything to forget what happened to him, to try and be stronger, and better in case there’s another grabber out there.
Robin blames himself a lot for what happened, he doesn’t know how or why it is but he just knows it is his fault that Finn was kidnapped, it was his fault that he couldn’t kill the grabber, it was his fault that he was kidnapped because he should’ve known better, and it was his fault for getting murdered…
He tries to keep it inside and tries to look unaffected and happy like he used to be but like all the others, Robin is a traumatized child who didn’t know any better and that is something that infuriates him.
