“quite literally stalked” is such a weird phrase to use about friends lmao
coming for me now, huh? i am only going to answer this one ask so don't bother sending any more, i'll just delete them. (unless you want to have a genuine conversation, in which case i’m totally open to discussing more, but you’d have to come off anon.)
stalking is not only done by evil creepy people who mean harm. fans can stalk celebs. people in relationships can stalk their partner. friends can stalk friends. sometimes it's serious and dangerous and that’s when it is said with the legal definition in mind. and sometimes it's said in a less serious, joking/harmless or even affectionate way in casual conversation.
for example, you are fixated on this one user and you scroll through their account, and they have their other socials linked/mentioned so you go and look through/follow their other accounts. if you did this with malicious intent to gather info, or did it despite them blocking you, this is absolutely stalking (aka harassment). if you did it just because you really like them/their content, i would still call that stalking, bc it is in a way, albeit more jokingly since it's pretty harmless. if you’ve ever had a crush and searched for their social media and then looked through pictures they’ve posted or something: again, stalking. but again, usually pretty harmless.
obviously when i said dream stalked george and ponk i meant it in the latter harmless way, but i would still absolutely classify it as stalking. he spent hours looking through random footage to find his friends in the background. that's not something your average friends do. : )
