#They Are Not Your Friends

[witchescollection]

listen, i am once again begging folks on tumblr to have nuanced opinions.

#yes this is about #watcher #if i have to read one more argument without sources for it's batshit claims #from people who clearly heard the phrase 'eat the rich' and 'bourgeoise' and 'parasocial' and looked no further into those concepts #i will riot #watcher do not owe you anything #and you dont owe them anything #they are not your friends #and you are not theirs either #(they are also not bourgeoise billonaires ffs) #not witchcraft #this also applies to discussions about taylor swift btw #same issue

I’m just going to leave this here as a courtesy

#they are not your friends #stranger danger

#ghost band #tired of the dr∆m∆ #the ghouls aren't real #its called acting #there are real people behind the mask #but when on stage they are in character #let them live #give them privacy #they deserve to be left alone #rituals are a privilege #not a right #you do not know them personally #they are not your friends #stop behaving like children #the band ghost #the only tea here #is truth #choke on me #i do not care #leave your madeup schoolyard gossip in your head #stop harassing the band #grow up

Having flatmates is the most unnatural state of living

#like there are these people #they are not your relatives #they are not your friends #and yet you inevitably end up seeing their underwear your towel end up touching in the bathroom they forget to flush down the toilette #and you even see that #you overheard their conversations with relatives on the phone #and you WOULD RATHER NOT #i want to live alone. maybe with my boyfriend is fine. but this is nerve-wracking #I've been doing this for too long

Sorry if this is intrusive, but have you tried Watertown Watch and Clock Repair? They were recommended to me by a local jeweler and they're only about a 15-20 minute walk from the last stop of the MBTA 73 bus, so they might be worth a shot. Depending on the size of your clock, that might be still be too far from transit, of course.

No no, I appreciate the advice!

It's a very small clock; fits in my work satchel. But that may still be a rather tricky odyssey depending on how complicated getting the 73 is for me- I already have to walk a mile to my nearest T stop for the train and several buses. It may end up as a car-necessary trip despite being not that far from me geographically.

Curse this anti-mechanical-clock society driving horlogists out of business until only a few are left and they're all very far-flung!

(There IS at least one place in the city proper that claims to repair antique clocks, but all of their reviews are only for replacing batteries/crystals on modern wristwatches. So...disinclined to take my clock to them.)

sometimes ghumblr makes me cringe and i start wondering if this fandom is still for me and then i hear about what's going on on ghwitter and my god does that put everything in perspective because y'all are really just doing everything wrong over there. it's kind of impressive

#rant #i guess #but it's insane how some people should have their rights to interact with the band taken away from them #you don't know these people #they are not your friends #they don't owe you shit #how hard is it to get that in your head #getting involved in their personal lives is a very very wrong thing to do #you're not being a good fan you're not being righteous #the right thing to do is to mind your god damn business and leave them the fuck alone #you are genuinely scary

Oh, another day of people being too comfortable with the Heartstopper cast and just straight up insulting teenagers they don’t know? Cool. Cool cool cool.

#they are not your friends #they do not know if you’re actually joking or if you’re being genuinely malicious #let them live their lives in peace #Kit wore shorts and tank top in LA wow how revolutionary #he definitely deserves to be made fun of for that #you can like the Heartstopper cast all you want but they are not your friends #stop being this way with them

[cahootings]

I redownload this app for one day once every maybe two months and unfortunately I’m rewarded every time

#everyone reblogging this needs to go stream our flag means death on max #and suck your friends’ fingers

[liquidstar]

Reblogs are off because you people don't realize that a post about gaslighting isn't the time or place for your LOL GONCHEROV XDDSS jokes idk what to tell you. If you find the info the other reblog added to be useful just screenshot it and repost it I'm done though

#thats like punching your friend in the arm when you see a punchbuggy and calling it lighthearted physical abuse 💀

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime? #you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

An important message to heterosexuals, listen carefully: you do not, and I repeat do NOT, have to marry someone you actively dislike, don't enjoy spending time with and/or whose hobbies you despise. You do not have to do that!! stop doing that!!!

#and then act like it's the height if humour to talk shit about your partner among friends #ITS NOT FUNNY #STOP DOING THAT #mine

[demadogs]

nothing can break the bond between a friend who loves spoilers and a friend who just watched an amazing show and needs to tell someone the entire plot from start to finish

#respectfully i think youre a bit crazy if you love spoilers but ill allow it bc it means i get to yell about one of my favorite shows #i did this with st to my friend #it was very fun #1k #10k #post 10k tag: i am shocked theres more people in the tags saying theyre the ones that likes spoilers #im the one who tells someone everything

[oars]

#i feel like tge fact im apprehensive about posting this is kinda proving my point #the way everyone talks about both weight gain and weight loss is just horrendous #like idek if i could fit all i wanna say in here especially while im at work but #i so badly wish people could be normal about weight gain and talking about it #its like if youre not in some constant state of wanting to lose weight people want to kill you #god forbid you want to put on weight to feel more comfortable in your body outside of muscles and a butt #fatphobia is a given thats a whole other few paragraphs #im grateful i have mutuals and friends who are normal but ill have or hear these convos and go #ok i feel sick. why do i feel this way why do you feel that way. #anyways i think fatphobia is one of the worst things to ever happen

jason in titans tower staring at bruce: how’d you know i was alive old man?

bruce: robin - tim - is an avid follower of your tumblr blog that has mysteriously updated after years of you being deceased

tim: mhm, at mrsbennetluvr88 started quoting hamlet and titus andronicus after years of radio silence, it was the only rational conclusion

jason: … at least you know your shakespeare…

#tim: i was your moot goffick-bat69! i’m well aware of your dramatic tendencies #jason: and you didn’t find it so weird that you went out and wore your dead online friends mantel? #tim: i was being poetic! something about vengeance and keeping the magic alive ! #batman #jason todd #tim drake #bruce wayne #robin #red robin #red hood #batbros

East Asian fanartists are starting to migrate back to Tumblr because Twitter is insane, toxic, and dying, and what we're NOT going to do is let the fucking exclusionists get them, do you hear me? We are not going to let a bunch of feral idiots try to apply the most myopic version of puritanism to foreign artists we're not we're not we're not. Form an armed brigade if you have to, do you hear me. We're not going to bully the artists who may or may not even speak English because we have our precious standards of moral purity. If we see art that makes us uncomfy we're going to block the artist and tumblr savior their name so we don't have to see them again AND WE'RE GONNA MOVE THE FUCK ON.

#solitaretalk #i mean it #I will block on sight if I see any tomfoolery #and then I will screenshot your bullshit and send it into a group chat so all my more significant tumblr friends will block you too #fuck this up bad enough and you will never be able to reblog from kitty unpretty again IS THAT WHAT YOU FUCKING WANT
