On System Responsibility/Accountability
I think it's reasonable to not want someone else's actions to be put onto you. It feels unfair, especially if the actions were harmful or if the person that did it absolutely does not want to take responsibility. Oftentimes we have no control over what other alters do, and it can feel like being blamed for someone else's behavior.
However, I think the reality is that taking accountability for other headmates' actions is an important part of navigating social relationships while plural. Regardless of how unfair it feels. Apologizing on behalf of others is a signal to those harmed that you don't stand against them, and that you think what happened to them wasn't right. And if you have the ability to work within your system to prevent further harm somehow, that's even better.
I feel a lot of arguments in favor of "system responsibility" or "collective responsibility" do really boil down to "Well, you're all part of the same whole" (read: 'Actually just one person') which. Hm. Certainly doesn't apply to every system. I think a better argument is that it will benefit everyone when an effort is made to show remorse and a willingness to avoid future harm, and if the original cause of that harm isn't willing to do so, then someone else can, and that still means something.
The reality is complicated; none of us are perfect. No one should be expected to throw themselves at someone's feet to attone for someone else's actions. "I'm sorry we said/did that, I will talk to X about how that's not okay" can go a long way.

going on instagram in your early 20s is wild because there are people i went to high school with who are married, own a house, and are posting pictures of the baby they just had or others who travel the country spontaneously with their significant other. and i’m looking at these pictures while i sit in my childhood bedroom on a saturday evening, like nothing changed.

I used to have countless mutuals and posts with 100s of thousands of notes and now I feel like an ageing movie star looking over my sunglasses as Hollywood burns to the ground

unsurprisingly songs by "teen suicide" no longer hold up but there's still something familiar to the vibe like walking thru a house you used to live in when it's all emptied out

Thinking abt how all the ppl I’m interested in first thing they usually say to me is like “oh I’m into your brother actually” or something to that effect (something generally about how they like him more) and ppl who don’t r either not into me for other reasons or ashamed of me or whatever. Makes me feel old lol (even though like he’s just young lol)

part of the reason why nitw is so good is bc i related to mae a lot - and like yes in the felt very lost in college, home feels more corporeal somehow, people being new and change feels terrifying, but also i love stargazing, i love climbing things and sitting on roofs for no reason, i love video games, i love hearing what other people are enthusiastic abt. and she finds hope at the end :) i like it it makes me more hopeful about the world bc i felt a lot like her my freshman year of college

Is it okay to reblog art that are of fictives/self portraits? I don't want to make any of you uncomfortable and as if I'm just vewing you as fictional characters. Sorry if this was weird to ask!
🌪 Hey, thanks for asking, we appreciate that. We're cool with it as long as people don't make weird comments (p much anything 'ship-y' or putting words in our mouths kind of thing); if we wanted to keep people from reblogging entirely, we could turn off reblogs or even just not post in the first place.
🌹 Thank you so much for asking!! We love interacting with others, since we don't get to very much in real life, so please never feel nervous about good faith questions! 🩷

What if SNW goes full chaos next season and Kirk and Spock kiss. What if they date and break up. SNW is fully within its rights as a Star Trek series to retcon all the K/S pining in TOS as “two dudes who used to fuck,” think about THAT for 10 months.

the only way we'll ever manage to actually grow out our hair how feefs wants is if miraculously nobody ever comments on it in a way that makes the feeling of Filth That Won't Wash Off start up. with hair it's easy cuz you can just chop it off. can't do that with the rest of the body. it's the sacrificial lamb. there'd also have to be 0 flashbacks, and 0 contact with the mother. that last bit is more feasible than the other 2.. in short, it is never gonna happen, the hair will probably always carry those meanings even though it isn't inherent.
when it starts getting too long it starts to feel like, i look too much like how i did before. i can't stand it. and when it's short like this it is also tied to the times where one of us went rogue with the scissors but that is way more agreeable.. i can't stand seeing it, feeling it, i can't stand the way it is like.
yeah for her it's just how she prefers things, but that's only cuz she's never been the one to experience real-life, only the parts that are okay. none of the disgusting, repulsive, skeevy, creepy, nasty gross bullshit, or the obsession our mother has with our appearance, which is also in that category, and none of the exhilarating feeling that came when finally after like 11 years of never ever ever ever being allowed to cut my hair, finally, they cut it down to juuuust at the ear. i'd been begging even though it's a bad idea to ever ask them for anything or bother to try and express anything, it only ever makes things worse, but it was so amazing - my mom was so pissed. it was like breaking a spell. it felt a little bit more like i was human and not a doll. i never ever ever want to give that up. it's not just hair, it's not just looks, it's important. being here, it's even more important not to give that up.

Remembering how I was happiest back when my only digital presence was private instant messaging (across various platforms) and then blogging here on tumblr. That’s it. It was kinda nice how untouchable I was. Might go back to that again…
