#and we all have a group chat

my ex lowkey annoying tf out of me rn ngl

#we're still friends (classic lesbian stereotype etc etc) and share a group of mutual close friends #and we all have a group chat #and one of my friends there he and i often disagree or have discussions where we're not on the same side (not abt serious things) #and we have a very bantery poking fun at each other vibe #and both of us get it bc that's always been our vibe and we've known each other for nearly a decade #and we're both chill w it that's just how we are #but my ex is so conflict averse to the point where anything she perceives as conflict even when it's not actually real conflict #and even if it doesnt concern her #makes her uncomfortable and she feels the need to point it out #and it's like #???? #like why do u have to constantly point out that our interactions are 'insane' when we're literally just having fun #like it's not like we dragged u into the conversation or anything #u inserted urself into it to say how u didnt like how we're interacting #and it's not like she doesnt know that this is how we normally operate she's know us for just as long as we've known each other #and yet still so often she has to be like this #but like if she actually has a real problem w something she never properly speaks up #just is passive aggressive or silent abt it #she just wants to be a hater abt inconsequential things #🙄🙄 #ennuitxt

[Blows the dust off this blog] Long time no see...

Back in the Danganronpa pits... have some silly doodles for an...AU? or like, slight canon divergence/missing scene? I got to chapter 5 in my THH replay and was thinking about the part where these four are alone in the gym dismantling Monokuma all night.

I know realistically it's supposed to be because they were paranoid and extra careful about taking it slow so nothing went wrong... but like... their alibi is from 10pm to 7am? In my heart of hearts it actually took the whole night because they kept getting distracted and chit-chatting and got into a bunch of shenanigans once the actual dismantling part was done. Like Byakuya says they went to the bathroom in pairs?? Not to mention you'd totally expect him to make a comment about how insufferable it was being stuck together for like nine hours. And Hina says they played rock paper scissors to decide who brought back breakfast???

You can't tell me they didn't bond at least a little bit. A friend pointed out it'd have the vibes of a 4am discord call and that's exactly it. Emotional confessions about personal fears and insecurities to dumb physiological debates that become inside jokes forever. Etc.

#danganronpa #trigger happy havoc #yasuhiro hagakure #toko fukawa #aoi asahina #byakuya togami #makoto naegi #dr1 #thh #danganronpa trigger happy havoc #sry these r kinda wonky i didn't want them to take FOREVER in getting details right.. #some of these come off as a little shippy and if you wanna interpret it at that idm #but it's really supposed to just be them being dumb friends.. they really do seem like a team up until mukuro's body shows up. #like makoto feels like a 5th wheel #u know during the trial one of them makes a reference to some stupid thing they talked about that night and they all laugh at it #and kyoko and makoto look at each other like... did we miss something??? #post-canon they have a group chat w/o those two in it (tho there's obviously one for ALL of them) #uuuehuueuue let them b friends... #i know they only all BARELY tolerate each other in canon at this point #but let me DREAM #thinking about them technically being 'done' with the monokuma robot and realizing they should probably go back to their rooms #but then they check and still cant find makoto and kyoko #standing in the empty dorm hall all lingering by their doors... #until someone is like 'since our circumstances are extremely unclear right now staking it out in the gym is the safest option' #translation: we made something and i don't know what i'd do if something happened to you. please don't leave my side. #clawing at the walls. CODEPENDENT SURVIVORS!!!!!!! #okay i need to stop rambling on my OWN POST LOL

Does anyone else think it’s fascinating how nicknames develop? Like sometimes a nickname is a logical shortening of a name, sometimes it’s a different part of their name, like a last name or a middle name, and sometimes it’s completely random, manifesting out of a series of twisting inside jokes and memories that is impossible to explain and you’re just like, “Oh yeah, that’s our friend, The Ball, don’t mind him.”

#shower thoughts #well it was a shower thought that I kept thinking about #I could not for the life of me think of a random nickname for a real human I know though #so maybe this is just a product of too much media consumption #I personally only have a family nickname that’s my name shortened that most people don’t call me #so maybe that’s why I think nicknames are so interesting #all I could think of murph as a nickname versus the ball as a nickname #this probably also manifesting from rewatching 911 #and being so curious about Chimney and why he’s called that #fantasy high #dimension 20 #d20 #riz gukgak #brian murphy #I do have a friend that does by Morple in a chat but we never call her that and also I don’t really know the story behind it #do people have friends or are the friend with a weird friend group nickname??? #inquiring minds want to know #nicknames #nickname #it’s symbolic of a deep and loving and long-lasting friendship to have a weird random nickname okay? #I secretly want one

Thanks to EVERYONE'S recommendations on my post about How Do I Get A Knitting Circle To Adopt Me - A Woodcarver - Into Their Group, I have discovered:

My local library has a knitting/crochet club that welcomes other crafts, too! I will be attending that tomorrow, so maybe they'll adopt me!

There's a local woodcarving group that has monthly meetups! Granted it meets at a senior center and membership is encouraged which I can't do obviously but I'm going to see if that's like, a hard line or not

There are a couple small, independent craft stores that might have leads on more groups, I'll be trying to hit those up in the next few weeks and see if they have any leads!

My witchy shop used to have crafting meetups, I saw it on old FB events! That will be starting back up again soon, so I can hit that up too!

And here's a tentative one - there were so many others like me who expressed the same sadness of not being able to find a little crafting group where we could all work on our respective crafts and just have fun with crafty friends and learn neat things. So I'm talking to a friend about how complicated it would be to set up a discord server for us, because gd it, I know we all live far apart but if there's a way for all of us to do a craft night together once a month or whatever and become crafty friends, we should be able to do it, along with showing off our interesting things we make in between! So put a pin in this one, since I've only ever used discord, not really run one, but if I can make it work, I'm going to try when I have some time.

#everyone had EXCELLENT tips and now i'm using them to find some crafters I can meet up with hopefully! #the library I'm SUPER optimistic about and I'm hoping it goes well tomorrow! #M CARVING APRON IS READY #and then if i can get into the little woodcarving group that would be neat too! but i'd be just as happy if the knitting circle adopts me #but i also really am going to look into the discord server because gd there are a bunch of us that just... #really want to have a nice little crafty friend circle now and then to sit and make things and chat with #it shouldn't matter that we're far or that we're all different crafters #and we can show off our things and if someone wants tips on theirs they might be able to find someone or just have others #to talk about whatever your craft is

Mera MERA you're the only one who get me. Riddle's beach outfit??? RIDDLE BEACH OUTFIT????? HOT GIRL SUMMER????PLS when I saw the exposed stomach I was immediately like "ahahah...what if...what if I were to grind on it...AHAHAH Jk jk...........unless👀"

YES OMG OTL hot girl summer Riddle is something I never thought I’d see in canon, yet we are here and it’s wonderful!!! Grinding on his tummy or even running your hands over it, teasing his navel, complimenting him for how good he looks in that outfit even if he’s against showing so much skin. <3 he may think it’s against the rules and very unbecoming, but you think he’s the most attractive one on this beach, and when Riddle hears you say that it’s hard for him to think otherwise. Maybe it’s fine to show a little skin for the sake of this vacation—so he doesn’t get hot in non-summer clothes, he insists! After all, there aren’t many rules one must follow when on vacation. :)

#twisted chit chat #having sex with riddle on the beach but you’re with what’s possibly the worst group #azul floyd and jack can just smell both of you all over each other when you meet back up with them #and they’re all thinking ‘no way riddle got laid before us?!?!’ #riddle is not the best liar either and he’s trying his hardest to look composed despite his tousled hair hehe #and ace finds out why jack and the sushi squad are acting so strange #and omg they’re all teasing riddle about it #but then also they need details when you and grim part from the group to go to your room #they’re nosy!!! >_< (and all virgins) #WAIT AND LILIA OMG HE KNOWS TOO #they all look at riddle like: 👁 👁 we haven’t seen but we know

[trentcrimminallybeautiful]

help this post has infected my brain i can't stop thinking about some journalist ex-colleague of trent's just watching the entirety of richmond's football team + several members of the staff (including ted lasso) scoop him up and sprint across the pitch holding him aloft. this has so much comedic potential. im just picturing so many different like. tableaus. jan maas giving an absolutely stoic trent crimm a piggyback ride. exact same position but it's jamie tartt and trent crimm appears to be pointing directly ahead as tartt cackles and charges. they topple over. dani rojas has elected to carry him bridal style for some reason. sam obinsanya, who was supposed to be one of the reasonable ones, follows his example. one of the players has trent fully sitting on his shoulders somehow and somehow they don't fall. both the participating coaches (ted and beard) simply throw him over their shoulder and book it. for one of them he appears to be laughing loudly for the other his arms are crossed and he is making such a pointed expression of grumpy tolerance (like a cat who has been picked up and is resigned to it but he's not gonna like it!) that it is clearly exaggerated. trent makes exactly one (1) attempt to carry someone else (it's roy) and he actually does fairly well considering but they do end up sprawled on the grass and just. roy flat on his back staring at the sky, trent having half pushed himself up on his elbows, hair a complete mess, laughing. they're all arguing about times. there are fans sitting in on practice who can Just See All This. like. you know how there's like bullshit nothing articles about dumb shit? just. some "article" that's like "richmond appear to be doing wife-carrying races as training for some reason, and even more bafflingly, trent crimm appears to be the wife in question. anyway here's our top twenty photos of this because it is funny and weirdly wholesome." and then it's all over twitter for like three days. trent's ex-wife is texting him like "babe why are you a meme now". keeleys like "good news this is great pr! bad news [sends trent a candid shot of ted scooping him up unexpectedly and trent very obviously blushing]" and trents like "ah." some of the photos are hilariously blurred in motion. they're pretty much all smiling. forget about the realistic "but would they get criticism for not taking practice seriously" shhhh. everyone is enjoying this. it's about the wholesome nature of the whole team playing around and genuinely having fun together and also trent is too. formerly feared respected scary journalist cackling like a little kid while balanced precariously on the shoulders of a premiere league footballer. it's cute. it's also extremely funny. how did anyone find this dork scary

#im going in circles and not articulating this as well as i'd like but i'm picturing it so vividly and spinning spinning spinning it #it's so funny and wholesome to me #he's FRIENDS WITH THEM ALL!!!! #and also just the hysterical image of former colleagues/people who know trent by reputation just seeing this #utterly ridiculous and wholesome photos of someone who is clearly genuinely having fun #although im also not really diving into the implications of photos here. #i guess rather than a journalist it could be like #keeley taking photos for The Nelson Road Group Chat that def exists nad then being like 'these are really wholesome and funny actually #and also probably good pr we should post them' and getting permission? #SHH BRAIN STOP OVERTHINKING THIS #LET ME ENJOY SILLY THE ENTIRE TEAM CARRIES TRENT AROUND FOR SOME REASON POST #<- please that makes it sound like they're just treating him like a little purse dog. #not even the wife carrying races just. #picks him up. walks away #dlfkjlhkjfgh

tbh when mitski said “you’re my best friend/now i’ve no one to tell/how i lost my best friend”

#my freshman year of college my best friend and I were both a wreck #and on opposite sides of the country #during winter break I made the decision to share certain information with their parents bc I was actively concerned for their safety #they were deeply upset about me betraying their trust like that and asked for a break in our friendship #(a few months later (which happened to be early March 2020. lol) they did shrooms and realized they wanted to talk to me again lmao) #(so we talked and cried and now we’re still best friends almost 4 years later) #and my birthday is in january so it fell right in the middle of the period we weren’t talking #and my friends at school actually put together a really lovely party and it remains to this day the best bday party ive had #(most of my bdays have been sad and shitty lol) #but i just remember being drunk in my friends dorm room with my friends all around me #it was the end of the night people were just kinda chatting in little groups or whatever #and i was lying on my friends bed just miserable bc all I could think about was how my best friend was supposed to be there too #bc my parents were going to fly them out for the weekend as a present #and obviously that just got dropped #and id been talking to my friends about it kind of but all I wanted was my actual best friend #I left them a very embarrassing drunk voicemail that THANK GOD they deleted without listening to #but it’s just. the quiet agony of being angry and sad and hurt because your person doesn’t want to be ur person anymore #and still wanting to talk to them about it. still needing them to comfort you and give you their advice and insights #i don’t want to talk to anyone else about it. they’re not you. #sigh. anyway. ive actually lost several close friends for various reasons ranging from reasonable to bullshit #and it always blindsides me how much I want to talk to THEM about it #so thanks mitski for expressing that so artfully #op

bestie… what’s the 600k incomplete merlin fic please drop the title

SO glad you asked and also I misspoke. It is actually 871k. THE HANDS OF A HUNDRED WINTERS by FOURLEGGEDFISH. It is in four parts and you both can and should read it despite being incomplete, I have only read 3/4 parts because I am loathe to part with the reading experience of writing this good. This is both my favourite Merlin fic I've ever read and potentially my favourite longfic I've ever read (though hard to assess when it's incomplete and I haven't read it all as yet). It's AMAZING to me that the author has managed to sustain and even increase my interest over this many words, a feat managed by no other fanfiction I've read longer than 400k words ever (and I read a lot of those!). Don't get me wrong it's not perfect, and I do have minor scruples with some things*! I also don't think it's for everyone, my dear friend didn't like it and found it too dark for her personal tastes. But for ME? SPECIFICALLY FOR ME? To quote something I said to my friends 'wells for boys, lads, wells for fucking boys.' I also think it's so immaculately beautifully written that even if it's not your personal cup of tea you should read it anyway. ALSO the sheer dazzling breadth of research that went into this fic is REMARKABLE. I am not joking when I say this author has achieved everything I want to achieve as a writer in this fic. In many ways this is Ur Merlin Fic. The Once and Future Fic. To Me!

*I have minor scruples with almost every fic I've ever read and frankly remarkable how few scruples occur with a fic on this size. There are also scruples I had with things like tone, characterisation or even sex scenes that were then resolved with plot explanations that made sense a mere half a million words later in a quite satisfying way. This fic is a masterpiece in how it threads things like that through and pays them off very handsomely. I know how much blood sweat and tears goes into creating fanfic and I am overwhelmed by the skill, love and zillions of hours that must have gone into crafting this. Nothing but respect for such an incredible piece of art.

#this is what fanfiction should aspire to be. this is the star by which we should all navigate. #merlin #fic rec #arthur x merlin #ask #anonymous #kira for ts #I cannot say enough about this fic you should see my group chat history about it. #again I do have a few scruples or Things I Would Have Done Slightly Differently but like #what is that in the face of being constantly dazzled by the writing. arrogance I'd say. I only mention it bc as I said #I know it's not for everyone and I will state that upfront #but this is literally like to me. everything I've ever ever ever wanted in a merlin fic #and more! #looking back through my chat log on this fic and to quote me #funny that some people will just come out of covid and write a 800000 word cross-era merlin epic #well we all went through things during the pandemic wish mine was half as productive

there's a very specific kind of vibe that comes with living with your friends in final year that it just does not have in first year or even second year. like as a fresher it's usually the first time any of you have lived away from home let alone with SO MANY people your age and it's terrifying and exciting and randomised to boot so it's generally carnage for a whole year in the best and worst ways, and then second year you pick who you're living with and it feels like for the first time you're doing this adult thing PROPERLY. you have a place of your own now. these are the people you've chosen to live with. studying gets serious etc. but it's still fresh. it's still new. you still don't know how to navigate it. but final year? final year is when you actually get it right. you know how to manage your time better. you know what works for you and what doesn't. studying is the main focus and you've been out in the world for three years now and it's not loud and boisterous like it was in first year and you're not exciteable and awkward like you were in second year. you're comfortable. every single one of my flatmates has their own friend group and we mainly keep to our own social circles, but we'll still meet each other back at the house after a night out and sit in the kitchen or my room to do the debrief. sometimes i'll go days not seeing either of them despite sharing a house but every now and then someone will softly call up the stairs that 'the heating's on!' or one of us will sneeze and the other two will yell 'bless you!' through the walls. the lack of interaction isn't interpreted as dislike in ways it would have been even last year, because we're all just old enough to be past that now and settled enough in our friendship not to worry about it. idk. uni is very loud and unsettling a lot of the time so it's been really sweet to see how almost boringly comfortable final year is.

#like my day today was literally drag myself out of bed at 10am to meet my econ friends bc we're in a group together #and i spent two hours with them writing a fucking TRADE REPORT before coming home #and the rest of the day was kinda lost. i showered. i put a wash on. i had a nap. i mainly stayed in my room #which sometimes is the End Of All Things but today was quite nice #and i can hear in their rooms how my flatmates are doing the exact same thing. pottering about and getting on with uni #and we've barely spoken all day but earlier my one flatmate ran into my room all excited to show me her nails #bc she's been teaching herself to do gels and it took her 2 hours but im still one of the first people she wanted to show #and just now we all went to use the bathroom at the same time and it led to one of our Stair Sessions #where we all inexplicably just gather on the stairs and chat for no reason with a cup of tea #idk it's just nice. it's such basic shit but i can't belive in first year i used to spend EVERY DAY with these girls #and we were one single friendship group and that was all we had #and then in second year one girl branched off bc she lived in a studio and got into her societies #but me and the other girl lived together again and it was the same thing of she was a friend before she was someone i lived with #and weirdly that can actually be detrimental to a dynamic. but this year we're all just very solidified and confident in ourselves #and where we stand and yes we all have our own friendship groups outside of the house now #but there's still that love and simple comfortableness around each other that you only get with time and a hell of a lot of proximity #and a sense of being settled that maybe is just what happens as you get older #idk it's just really nice. if i had this exact same day in first year (doing economics and barely leaving my room) #it would've been a really bad depressive day for me so the fact i can find such contentment from it now is really heartening #i love my little life here im very proud of what ive been able to achieve :) #hella goes to uni #feeling nostalgic because SOME BITCH decided to ribs post

the speak now era raised me actually. it's a core memory

#its also when i met all my group of internet friends! #we were all like 11/12/13 when we met online #and we are still friends we have a group chat still

[hartenlust]

just got invited to a housewarming in JUNE. which is literally 1.5 months away but to me it feels like such a far future. yeah sure I'm not doing anything then yet. I'm sure by then we'll have flying cars so I can come no sweat

#op #ill probably go but tbh. only if i dont have something more fun to do. hihi. #christ like 3 weeks till first draft of my thesis. 1.5 month until final version. lord save us all #anyway about the housewarming she does want an rvsp and to know if im bringing a +1 #girl i know you bought a house with your boyfriend who will soon be your fiance as we all know. but i am still a 20 year old guy #as are most of her friends. calm & chill #tbh its miraculous that i havent just been thrown in a group chat as is standard with organizing parties #anyway. it is free food free alcohol and free seeing my friends. so ill probably go

All the tour groups in Springfield should be very proud of me for how well I refrained from sharing all my fascinating Lincoln facts.

#there were so many school groups! #a giant one came in RIGHT AFTER i entered lincoln's cabinet room #part of me was screaming 'children i NEED to tell you about all these idiots and their insane drama!' #a smarter part of me understood that would be super weird #so instead i regaled different individuals of my own traveling party after we had the room to ourselves #then at lincoln's tomb we lucked out in getting there during the ten minutes of the day when school groups weren't there #which meant we got a personal tour from a guide who seemed thrilled to have grown-ups to talk to #he and my dad chatted about fishing for a long while in the entry #it didn't feel disrespectful because it totally felt like the kind of conversation lincoln would have understood and joined in on #and then we went on our way but the guide then chased us down to share all the fascinating lincoln stories as we went along #(shout-out to lefty you were great) #and then a school group found us so we made a graceful exit #but outside a teacher was explaining to a different group about how robert was significant in his own right so he's buried at arlington #and the RESTRAINT i showed in not immediately informing them that he was present at three presidential assassinations! it was rather heroic #and then when we toured lincoln's house the guide (who accidentally made it clear he was a revolutionary war buff) #(which made it a bit hilarious he was stuck with lincoln) #asked for questions before we started and someone asked about lincoln's 1860 election campaign! #aka one of my SPECIAL NICHE AREAS OF OBSESSION! #you cannot imagine how desperately i wanted to tell him ALL ABOUT seward and thurlow weed #anyway it was fun to go back now that i actually know stuff about lincoln #but it was also a bit frustrating because now i know how much they leave out #(though there was cool new info and artifacts) #(the blood-stained piece of laura keene's dress was very morbid and very cool) #also it reminded me that i still have that book on the 1860 election i've yet to read and the hype is so real #presidential talk

so don't follow me?

i am a max blog. i like posting the things the teams post on socials, and I like to do so cleanly and with sources. i also like posting edits of photos. i like making sure I have a lot of key posts for ~archival purposes. i am genuinely not a blog to follow if you a) don't like max, or b) don't want max content.

#asks #chit chat #Anonymous #i would make a whole update account but there's no point #and again if you dont want to see lots of max content i am not the blog for you #im also half tempted to start a group chat with max content creators so that we all have access to Resources #for optimal max posting :)
