#I just Overthink responses

[linipik]

okay, but what do you consider just plain annoying from an artist on here?

not "what makes you outrage or unfollw them forever", just... annoying enough to stop interacting with their posts in the long run.

reblogs are appreciated since my own blog has a limited reach. Thanks!

#lets remember i have anxiety #so this is just me outsourcing responses instead of overthinking #artist on tumblr #hope this is not about spreading negativity im just curious and anxious #also not an attention grabbing scheme i just... #...i dont do thing bc i consider that others will consider them annoying and i dont want to annoy elanyone on their leisure time on tmblr #i know it is dumb and long live to anar chy ... but i am also highly anxious

For the ask thing: what's your favourite thing to draw!!

#south park #kenny mccormick #kyle broflovski #k2 #sp k2 #my art #doodles #(and creek too! and cute outfits) #sorry for my super late response to this! #I was struggling a bit and overthinking this lol #so i stuck to what I genuinely just love drawing...

Mildly worried that some people will be Upsetti at the weird and gross shit in my weird vaguely bronze age "Pokémon-is-slavery" bodyhorror setting

#the response has been very good im just paranoid bc i am not interested in smoothing out or cleaning up this fictional preindustrial society #this is also not about my thoughts on the pokemon franchise which i love at least the pre-switch content of. mostly #i just love to overthink things and i like anthropology and i like humans even if human behavior is frequently grotesque #theres definitely a reason i havent posted much off of discord abt it but im glad people are interested and responsive so far #babbling

Got a handful of asks wondering about headcannons and AUs and I’m holding myself back from answering em cause I cannot answer any of them in a short concise response of two paragraphs or less hhhHHHHH

#I promise I’m not intentionally ignoring y’all I just overthink stuff #I get nervous about giving too long of responses or rambling pffffffft #cause then I think folks will lose interest #more of a show instead of tell kind of guy ya know

begging and pleading for Morty's depiction of Diane to not be 100% accurate because if it is I feel like Baby Beth was doomed to have horrible parents ?????????

#i hate rick and morty romance episodes because they're always so codependent and toxic arrrghhh #like i love Diane being cool and sassy and fun but i hated all her actions ??? she's seemed so ?????? #like i'm probably overthinking but like ??? can beth just have a nice loving family with actually responsible and caring parents ??? #she's so tragic to me

keeley: what did you send? a dick pic? a kinky fantasy?

roy: worse.

(the text in question was something like “sometimes it’s only moderately annoying being around you “)

Oh absolutely 😂

Other things that can count as risky texts include (but aren’t limited to)

- telling Jamie he’s proud of him or that he’s played well when he’s playing for the England team so Roy isn’t there to say it in person

- Jamie whining about I know you hate me but this is just ridiculous over a minor inconvenience and Roy responding with I don’t hate you anymore you fucking moron

- saying anything at all about missing Ted while texting him (especially in a not threatening or angry way, but it still feels risky to him sending something bitching about how something is Ted’s fault for leaving them until he gets Ted’s response and rolls his eyes at it but it’s fine)

- literally texting anyone other than Keeley first in any context other than something team/coaching/training related or something bossy or something angry or vaguely threatening (asking Beard or any of the other guys to get a drink with him later in person? totally fine… texting them and waiting for their response for an indefinite amount of time and then not knowing the tone of their response? torture… like you know he rolls his eyes and vaguely grumbles about Ted’s over enthusiastic texting style but at the same time it’s a lot easier when Ted responds to everything clearly enthusiastic and that’d definitely help the whole living on a different continent and time zone thing to be more bearable)

- saying anything about any feeling he has toward Keeley or Jamie to Jamie while they’re all single post the fighting on her doorstep disaster

#Sorry I meant to answer these asks on the weekend #Roy has a tough angry bitch reputation he wants to uphold #But also he doesn’t like waiting for responses or not being able to tell the tone on anything at all too sincere or important #But Keeley’s an exception because he’s long since learned how to just say whatever to her without being mortified and overthinking it #Ask #Mine #Roy Kent #Ted Lasso #Anonymous #I did not reread a word of this so I’m assuming there are errors

after spending the last week very stressed out and losing sleep over how much i regretted giving my number to a stranger, and after talking to several friends who all gave me the same very wise advice ("decide first what YOU want out of this and make decisions based on that" sounds obvious now but honestly blew my mind), i saw food truck man again today and he asked me if i have a boyfriend, told me he's all alone, hugged me twice, and tried to kiss me. i texted him after to be like just to be clear, i don't want a boyfriend, but i hope you find somebody! and he texted me back: i don't need a girlfriend. i'm married.

#AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA #i was actually so upset after he tried to kiss me. technically he did kiss me but not on the mouth because i would not turn my head lol #but i was like you know what i am an adult and i am going to be soooo mature right now. watch how mature i can be #and sent him this text #and then got that response and honestly now i feel a lot better about everything?? for some reason #i am not really understanding all of my reactions to this situation i need some time to process #but ultimately i have learned some new things about myself (or i probably will once i have processed lol) #and i'm actually quite proud of that text because i could have psyched myself out too much to send it #which i think would have just made me continue to be stressed about this #but i didn't!! i wrote it and i sent it and i didn't overthink it. yay me #sorry 2 everyone who wanted me to have a sexy time but it turns out i did not want to have a sexy time! #and i decided to take some advice that i should only do things i want to do <3 thank you to all my wise friends #it is a work in progress because he asked if he could hug me and i didn't really want to do that but i said okay #baby steps! working on it! #i feel insane though because i usually have a much easier time saying no than most people i know #so i don't know what's happening. it's because i gave him my number. i felt like by doing that i had consented to other things #but i hadn't. and even if i had i can withdraw consent at any time. yes. i do know this

peace and love on planet earth save me.... peace and love on planet earth.... save me peace and love on planet earth....

#had a terrible night last night and am having an awful morning so far bc. I agree with everyone but disagree with #the level of some of the reactions #if that makes sense #I'm being intentionally vague but. I did talk this through with someone last night #I just think the magnitude of some responses may simply be... overreacting? at least in my perspective #and the perspectives of several people who I'm fairly close to #it's simply... I really struggle with having solid opinions about stuff bc I'm not confident in my knowledge #my political views are essentially ''I wish everyone would be nice and get along'' #which ik is not possible in this world. however. I #I don't think that giving up a whole Interest and something you love just bc of something someone associated with it believes #is necessarily always called for?? and in this case I don't think that it is??? #maybe 2 people will get what I'm saying here and I don't want to get into arguments. I think killing and destruction should STOP #end of story. idc who is doing it or why. I think it should just stop. but I also don't think dropping [REDACTED] for associating #with someone whose support falls the other way (saying this as kindly as I can btw :/ ) is necessarily a response that needs to be had #does that make sense?? at all??? #I just wanna have fun next weekend 😭 #anyway. Christian girlies and anyone who prays please pray for me to stop overthinking and overfeeling this

#i started seriously overthinking the responses here and my rule for that is to just post it before my OCD eats me #so if i missed something obvious...i am sorry #¶ #jumblr #polls

saw a video about 2 player ttrpgs and one of them was like "this one's about a pretend marriage" and i was like oh? and i looked it up on itch (eyes on the prize, fyi) and it's 50% as of right now and i was like OH? and i bought it immediately & ive read most of it and i am a big fan. and i KNOW that i have friends who would have fun playing it (it's a 2 player or 4 player game; the 4 player variant has 2 fake couples) but asking them is going to be so cringe. yeah we're gonna make up people and pretend to be them and then pretend to pretend to get married and the characters when they start their pretending they're gonna be like "oh we don't have any romantic feelings towards each other this is strictly plot" but then (get this) they will start to develop real feelings for each other. and we're gonna act it out together and pretend to be them but don't worry! we have no romantic feelings towards one another. this is strictly plot. when WE (irl) pretend to be in love it's actually platonic, unlike the people who we are pretending to be to each other. so do you have like 2-5 hours you wanna dedicate to that next week

and the worst part is that's 100% what i want. like i have roleplayed romance before with friends it is literally not a big deal because the whole point of roleplay is that the character ISN'T you. but with a fake relationship the crushing weight of dramatic irony hovers behind me

#i do want to play it though it seems fun. i actually think it would be more fun to do the 4 player variant #just bc like. to me fake dating is all about the audience. the way you act alone vs in public #it's about the drama. the show. having other people to bounce of off in rp i think benefits that #eh. im overthinking it i'll get over myself & bring it up. i at least wanna talk about it to people even if we don't intend to play it #i also kinda think you could use the game as more of a writing prompt than a roleplaying game if you wanted? #like. ideally you're still have 2 or 4 people who have a character they mainly control #and you'd like. co-write a story by hashing out responses to each card (which is the main game mechanic) & writing it down #but you would lose some of the imo more like... silly (affectionate) parts of the game? #because some of it is really about the improvisational aspect of both ttrpgs and the fake dating trope #but i still think it would be really fun. and i have done a lot of text-based roleplay before #so i am biased towards it just in general. #i also think you could probs play with 3 players with slight bending of the rules and in and out of game acceptance of polya relationships #esp because the setting is like. vaguely period piece fantasy nobility. you go to fancy parties and shit #i feel like those people had very complicated love lives i think a throuple would be fine #also We Are Playing Pretend #good idea generator #unrelated but did wtf when did they update the post editor the tags are so ugly LOL

coming to the conclusion that people in my speech class are either transphobic or wary of the speech i chose and i'm leaning towards the former

#like logically #they very well could just not be interested in the speech i chose #which is 'Strange answers to the psychopath test' by Jon Ronson #while everyone else chose college or political speeches and the like #so that is a very reasonable reason #but i was the second person to post on the discussion post on the first day it was released #and my name has the (they/them/their) pronoun set next to it #and literally everyone else up until yesterday has at least two responses #so #i dunno #it's weirdly discouraging #and a bit disappointing since people in other classes respond to me in normal manners #i can't tell if i'm overthinking it #it's making me want to remove my pronouns just to see if people start responding later on #but then that wouldn't really be accurate in later discussion posts with diff topics agsgsjd #whatever #i'm just gonna hope it's actually because people don't like the speech i chose #and not because their transphobic #it's better they ignore me than be discriminatory though so #we'll see how it goes #mars babbles

Oh yeah just a quick update - I have temporarily made 13 Students private on ao3, meaning you will need an account to read it. This is only temporary. I should be making it public again soon!!!

#I've been receiving a rather specific amount of guest kudos daily and whilst I'm not complaining about getting kudos #what's making me wary is that it doesn't seem like the hits match this new influx of guests #and I'm sort of under the impression that a bot or something is leaving the kudos??? #I could just be overthinking all this and maybe I've just gotten lucky but #I haven't received almost 200 kudos during a single update before #paired with the fact I have not received a single comment ever since this rapid increase #I am a little 🤨🤨🤨 #I do not intend to keep it private for too long because I know a lot of my readers are guests in the first place #but idk #the latest chapter has the least engagement I've ever had on a chapter so receiving a bunch of kudos #after such a quiet response has got me a little suspicious lol #and this isn't me hinting at people to leave comments #but that has been a bit of a tip off that something isn't adding up #I haven't really heard of an issue like this before but hhhhh #rather just make the fic private for a little while instead of worrying if my fic has a bot issue or something

help i sent a music rec to the band chat and it's gone all silent DDDDDD:

#maybe they are just looking for ț on the keyboard? #of course i am overthinking it #that is what i do #i am prepared for any response #except no response

[allylikethecat]

I am both very excited and also very terrified to see The 1975 tomorrow 😳

#allylikethecat #ally's thoughts #i've literally been trying to see them since i was 18 and it never worked #i just i am so excited #but im also really nervous because some of the fans on twitter seem really aggressive and territorial #should i have not bought pit tickets because I cant get there until around noon because like adult with responsibilities #i really hope that i can still get an ok spot in the crowd #and that people are nice idk #everyone on tumblr for the most part has been super nice #but i made the mistake of checking out twitter #and people there seem scary #woot woot gotta love anxiety #im so excited to see peanut with my own eyeballs though #i guess if anyone gives me shit imma be like ummm were you a fan when they used to send out promotional twitter dms #in like 2015/2016 #because i still have all of them in the twitter account that i look at twice a year #except not really because thats mean and it doesnt matter how long someone has been a fan #as long as they like the thing and the thing makes them happy #ugh yay for being weird and overthinking shit #keep it kind #sorry for anyone that actually reads this #im basically talking to myself #but also if anyone has any advice for not getting eaten by the crowd #i am all ears

to be fair to Alfred Bruce professes himself as a horrible monster on the regular even when he's just a normal human so who can blame him for being unable to tell if this time it's true or if it's just Bruce being Bruce again

This was definitely a patented Dramatic Bruce Moment. But also Alfred is willing to overlook basically any of Bruce's flaws, so really it's not surprising that he was down to accept vampirism.

In retrospect, it's kind of humorously tragic how resolutely unwilling Bruce was to extend Alfred the same courtesy in DC VS. Vampires.

#alfred pennyworth #bruce wayne #vampire batman #he's SO casual about it too. honestly brutal #you know that if bruce had been the first justice leaguer converted instead of hal #alfred would have been ride or die for an undead bloodsucking bruce without question #the fact that bruce said this as a response to alfred trying to prove his loyalty by drinking holy water #because he thought bruce didn't test him because he trusted him #is just even more painful. 'oh. how... thoughtful.' #anyway the 1st panel is from crimson mist #the 2nd and 3rd are from batman/catwoman no. 9 #the 4th is from detective comics annual 2020 (which took me forever to remember so i could actually screenshot the panel stuck in my head) #and the 5th is from dc vs. vampires no. 2 #can't believe it took me this long to answer an ask from father's day. i love answering asks but boy do i overthink my responses
