#I’ve never even BEEN in a relationship

[silvercyclops]

I’m working on a fic rn and it’s a crossover of two very obscure books and I’m like “wow I’m really doing something different here this is exciting” and wouldn’t you know it it’s about two characters having relationship problems

#I’m a creature of habit #I’ve never even BEEN in a relationship

[sciderman]

You said that if you dated Peter or Wade it would make you miserable. Which– Okay fair, Wade does have a history of purposely hurting the people he loves.

But what about Peter? Why do you think dating him would make you miserable?

because I’ll always know I had the option to climb a 6’8 cyborg and I passed that up for a sweaty little twunk that I perpetually have to remind to bathe (sorry peter)

#I don’t know. I don’t think peter is good boyfriend material. I think his insecurities would get exhausting. #Wade has bottomless patience. me… I don’t know. I don’t think I could. I’ve got my own stuff going on. I don’t want a Project. #peter is definitely a project. and he needs someone with shed loads of patience and perseverance. #me I just. I wanna have a good time. so. come to me my big beautiful time traveller. whisk me away. #take me to the beach. you can disappear after I don’t mind I’m not needy. just spend a beautiful romantic week with me. #sci speaks #I don’t really know what kind of person I’m compatible with really actually. #all my relationships have been. pretty short. #and I don’t think it’s any fault of my own really. and I don’t feel any loss over them at all. like at all. I wish I did. but I don’t. #a sci has so very thankfully never felt heartbreak. #but it makes me kind of question what kind of person I am when it comes to this sort of thing. #because I really don’t know. #I don’t know if I want commitment. I don’t even know if I want sex these days. #I … weirdly… am so devoid of yearning these days. like I feel content right now on my own. I don’t even feel lonely. #I used to yearn but I think I’ve moved past it. and I kind of just want to have a good time. #and that doesn’t even . involve a relationship or anything anymore. like I don’t think I want one actually. it feels like I’m Over it. #it’s kind of great because I’ve never felt so calm in a long time. all because I decided that I don’t. actually Need anything. #I don’t need anything more than what I have. and that’s brought me rest after So Long being restless. #but if a massive time traveller came and whisked me away on sexy adventures how could I say no

Rebels has been a comfort show for me longer than I’ve actually cared about star wars (my grade 6 self loved watching Disney XD on tv what can I say🤷🏻‍♀️)

And the main reason is because of how much the ghost crew loved each other..they were a family and I loved that about them

Anyways, I haven’t felt that same comfort until The Bad Batch and I just love it so much

I’m gonna feel super empty when this season ends :(

#star wars found family is everything to me #Star Wars has always excelled at the found family trope in a way I’ve never really seen before #Like I’ve been a marvel fan my whole life and I’ll admit the mcu has really only succeeded in found family with the GOTG #(you know…the movies that are heavily influenced by star wars) #But like I really feel like if I didn’t care about the relationships between star wars characters #I wouldn’t care about star wars nearly as much #even in the OT it took a while for me to care as much about that group because in that trilogy alone #we don’t actually see the relationships grow on screen aside from leia and han #so it was hard for me to get invested #watching the prequels is what got me to care about the OT characters #and watching TCW got me to care about the prequels #anyways what I’m saying is I love tbb and swr because I love watching characters become a family #yeah idk where i’m going with this #just felt like acknowledging it #star wars #sw rebels #tbb #the bad batch #swr #the clone wars #star wars original trilogy #star wars prequels #marvel #guardians of the galaxy #kate's post

so i’m sure someone might have mentioned this before and i’ve just missed it, but. i just noticed something .

so of course we remember the prelude to the circus scene, where everyone in brian’s entourage (+ curt) form this beautiful royal-esque gaudy portrait (pictured below):

but upon reexamination of the orgy scene… (pictured below):

obviously it’s not the EXACT same furniture (and this shot is much less vibrantly lit) but. the red and gold furniture is similar enough to suggest to me that… that the orgy is still a performance in the same (or at least similar) way the circus prelude was.

which is why brian and curt leaving the performance space and going into a private, intimate moment seems illicit. at least in the circus, the press and the people get to take part in the ‘strange’ intimacy, and make a commodity of it. but in the orgy scene? when curt gets up and goes to another room, and brian follows??? they, essentially, are leaving the stage entirely. they exist as only they will ever know, and not even us - the secret 4th wall audience - get to experience that.

#i feel like this might be the same point i’ve been making about their relationship in previous posts #but i literally just looked at this and started thinking #idk maybe this is something that has come up in convo with @mangle-my-mind but i’m really not remembering #lina if you’re seeing this pls let me know if i’ve just regurgitated something you’ve said before #it’s just. #the performance never ends until it does #and i simply cannot bear it #velvet goldmine 1998 you will always be famous #this isn’t even the weeks theme but whatever whatever fuck you #velvet goldmine #velvetgoldmine25th #25yearsofvelvetgoldmine

me grabbing eyrie and shaking them is it not enough to have gone through four ships by now. is it not enough for you funny man

#first thancred then g’raha and then zenos and now I’m still thinking about redacted #I can’t even mention and expansion or it’s gonna be so obvious #moots can stash this post in a folder and in two months I’m gonna be goofy pool #me furiously filing away things into AU’s before accepting at this point there just isn’t a canon #okay okay haurchefant doesn’t count bc I never really entertained beyond what the plot gave us #and with thancred it turned into a they had sex once or twice in ARR and it wasn’t ever a relationship #even though they did end up with a messy friendship in post HW + ShB of unresolved guilt #G’raha slipped into they worked better as friends tbh #Zenos is a can of worms of you get to au’s funny man #and I’ve been vibing a lot with the one where he dies and there’s a lot of complicated grief for eyrie #and the nebulous status of what they meant to each other #enemies or friends or kindered spirit or the hero and the villain aren’t so different #I am NOT SPEAKING redacted into the world #I’m gonna rotate it in my brain #owen talks #no consistent canon we create what brings joy in the moment #and look back at what we once created with the affection of something that once made us very happy

i feel like i’ve been WAITING for the other shoe to drop wrt people’s opinions about watcher for this very reason. not that i think the reaction is completely not understandable but the greater the parasocial relationship, the greater the fallout as soon as public opinion shifts. you don’t have a relationship with these people they’re just content creators, chill

#ready to see all the people coming out of the woodwork to say how they’ve never liked watcher/unsolved/etc #and act like it’s ‘cringe’ now that their fanbase feels ‘betrayed’ #it’s great to have a fanbase but parasocial relationships will bite you in the ass every single time #it’s interesting too though because i’ve seen watcher have a LOT of support as they’ve tried to build something separate from buzzfeed #so this is the first time they’re getting real pushback about a decision they’ve made wrt shifting their platform/expanding their brand #so ig we’ll have to see how they react moving forward #but it’s soooo interesting to see how enthusiastically people dump on buzzfeed #AND how many people dump on youtube and how over the years so much of its functionality has been stripped away #how many ads you have to sit through. how much sponsored content there is now. etc #but when they try to do the same thing with youtube that they did with buzzfeed it’s like how dare you not lick their boots #because if you lick their boots and we lick their boots we can watch stuff for free #anyway. #even if you don’t any to say it’s a bad business decision. it’s not like there’s not precedent for it #1) the move away from buzzfeed was successful and 2) what about the dnd shows or whatever #don’t you guys watch those dnd shows that are ‘behind a paywall’ #don’t you guys have netflix hulu disney hbo amazon etc ad nauseum that are actually owned by billion dollar corporations #don’t you guys get on your high horses about supporting independent artists all the time #it’s interesting that people will profess to be such big fans!!! and feel like they’re friends!!!! #but how dare they think their work might be worth paying for #idk. idk. it’s entitlement though #sorry for the rant i’m ALSO not trying to blindly defend a bunch of people i don’t know #but you guys are being soooo fucking annoying about it lol #anyway i’m still waiting to see what their response is going to be from here before jumping to conclusions #also to be fair i am biased to be lenient about decisions made by independent filmmakers vs big studios etc #like everybody freaking out about the ai art used in late night with the devil. who cares honestly #‘they should’ve paid a real artist!!’ idk maybe their budget didn’t cover that #i don’t want it to become the industry norm but at the end of the day i would rather see indie shit getting made then only seeing #the big studios (who don’t have equitable practices anyway!!) making shit #but that’s another conversation. just to be transparent about my viewpoint on this kind of thing #maybe controversial but also can’t we have nuance. for once.

still patiently waiting for the day ramuda and jakurai commensurate over being weapons of the state 😔

#vee queued to fill the void #i never ask for much from their relationship but this has always been the thing i wondered about when i first got thru this track #and five years later i might be on track to getting it since they’ve ‘made up’ lol #i want nb mcd and kp to talk a little more lol like those pairs def still have some healing that needs to happen #tho tbh i’m curious what more mcd needs to settle lol #anyways y’all remember jakurai’s assassin move???? wave???? #i’ve long been of the opinion that that technique is the equivalent of the mics’ predecessor #so in a way even tho jakurai and ramuda are two sides of the same coin sensei is his predecessor sorta #sensei should have been the one to understand ramuda the most which is what made their breakup sad to me 😭 #ramuda only recently let himself admit he hated what he was doing as of the 2nd drb #but i wonder what would have happened if ramuda knew he had other options sooner 😭😭😭

[digitaldollsworld]

Ok admittedly I’m so sick of being alone and doing everything alone I want a Shawty of any and or multiple/indeterminate gender(s)

#and honestly shit like Valentine’s Day reminds me that um. #I’ve never been in a relationship where I’ve felt loved or liked the other person even liked me 😪 #well that’s not fair. my ex made me feel loved for a year or so #and then it all went to shit when we moved in together. whomp whomp #anyway. enough of that happy heart day #rjb.net

hey actually what was up with the artemis fowl series suddenly pivoting to make the grown adult woman a love interest for the teenage boy. like I’ve blocked everything after the first 4 books from my mind bc I hate them for many reasons but like. genuinely what the fuck.

#made worse I think by the new movie making Holly a child as well I think #(I don’t know I didn’t watch it and I’ll never watch it out of spite) #artemis fowl was one of The most influential book series for me personally I loved them dearly #(again. only the first 4 tho) #I HATED 5. it’s the only one I do not own. bc I disliked it that much. #but seriously pivoting the relationship between a literal child and a grown adult woman to be even kind of romantic is weird right #i knowwwww in the book where they kissed she’d been time bullshitty aged back down to a teenager too but like. my god #sorry I’ve had these grievances for nearly a decade now #anyway. I doubt anybody cares about this series lmao #also I must say I’m a niche butch Holly/transfem Trouble t4t lesbian truther it needs to be said #(i am the only correct person about artemis fowl thanks) #.doc #actually I must continue. I loved holly that was a real blow to her character. also no adaption has ever done her right. #theyve always made her too feminine. she’s got SHORT SHORT hair and brown skin and a hooked nose and literally nobody ever depicts her as s

.

#feeling extremely dramatic about the fact that I’ve never experienced love and have never been in a relationship and there’s just this huge #part of the human experience that I’ve never gotten to experience and it’s just so unfair and totally fucked me up for life and now idk if #I could even do the love thing now because of how freaked out it makes me feel and I hate that I’m such a hopeless romantic and that I’m #plagued with loving to talk about and read about love but I’ll never have any for myself #and it’s just so fucked up and I’m having extremely big feelings about it

[stars-and-birds]

i don’t think i’ve ever realized how much platonic/sibling relationships mean to me i am insane

#i love both but #god. #the queer absolute joy i get from lumity and the craziness that hunter and luz gives me #geez #i need help #esme babbles #okay. rant ahead #i’ve always been more focused on romantic ones even though people are always saying platonic relationships matter #just as much as romantic ones because i’ve never had good enough friends that i can hold to that standard and #now i do or maybe they mean that much because i didn’t #i dunno #i miss my friends #i love these fictional characters #i love romantic and solving and platonic relationships

[ctommyisnt]

GUYS. GUYS OKAY. I got offered to be a third in a couples relationship. Not ideal but like. I’ve been thinking about. I mean I wouldn’t be OPPOSED??? When I say third I don’t mean just a sex thing like it’s just actually hanging out. I’ve never even considered it. Would it be awkward???

#idk if I have any poly followers #but I’ve been thinking about it #like #could I??? #I’ve never even been in a real relationship before

I can do it with a broken heart was mostly a BREAK UP SONG, not DEPRESSION AND MENTAL ILLNESS but my unstable self is taking it that way anyway

#non sims #Taylor Swift #I can do it with a broken heart #lights camera bitch smile even when you want to die #I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday every day! #I cry a lot but I am so productive! it’s an art #cause I’m miserable! and nobody even knows! #yeah I’ve never been in a relationship so this song is actually about my train wreck mentally ill life now thanks Taylor
