How does one become your friend?

honestly I'm so mentally compromised by fatigue today that my answer- I don't know??- sent me into an actual spiral of "do I not know how to be a friend to myself is it a commentary on my psychological health and state of being" sooooo might just have to leave all that aside and go with, uh, try messaging or chatting some way? I'm generally afraid of bothering people, what if they think I'm a creep, but I usually like it when people talk to me and then boom! I, at least, consider us friends- same as most people on here I'd guess. But watch out! I am annoying and unless discouraged will then consider us pals forever if we have two friendly interactions, sorry.

#to be honest there are many people on here I don't talk to and maybe aren't even mutuals with who I kind of consider friends #but that definitely might just be in my head lol #I see familiar names and think oh hey guys. here we are. hanging out :) #thornier questions include how to be a friend? does chit chat a friend make? should I be doing more? #things I am good at: talking about fandom stuff. annoyingly ranting about fandom stuff #things I am not good at: talking about RL stuff. not being awkward if attempting to address real life stuff #fun fact got this and a troll ask together and was like... are they making fun of me? will this one disappear when I block the other one? #but it didn't so I guess it might be real? feel weird posting but would feel weirder not answering #idk you guys should answer in replies how does one become friends with anyone online what do you think?

open starter

plot: they're in the backyard of his family's summer home, everyone else has gone out for the day leaving them alone.

possible connections: his girlfriend's older sister, girl-friends mother, older step-sister, step-mother, best friend's older sister, best friend's mom (open to f/nb - age gaps encouraged)

"you're going to get a sunburn if you plan on laying out here all day." theo mused as he approached the pool lounger, settling down onto the one beside her with a bottle of sunscreen clasped in his hands. "you're already getting a little red, if you're not going to put any on at least let me do it for you." he urged.

[gibaraltar]

as far as social media sites go, even if some people on here are. A Lot. And there's bad corners, as per everywhere... Still, compared to Some Other Large Sites there is an appreciation for the Human here. The experience of being human, the joy of creation, exploration of the reasons we share things and the motivations and experiences of authors. Of reflecting on how works impacted us. How even simple funne posts or whatever impact us.

#in the corner ive pruned for myself at least i feel much surer that we all understand that intention in media matters lol #like. i saw a post by some tech shithead about how “the future could be that we never have to watch or read the same thing twice” #implicitly that thanks to AI we'd never have to consume the same thing twice. #and i just. felt like an alien #bc even though he was obviously being ratioed to fuck #very few people were saying explicitly “that would blow who even wants that” #but i know for a damn fact all my mutuals here who have read the same 3 books on rotation for decades bc they were formative got me lol #personal #text post #People who don't create and have in fact removed the idea that they could ever create are black holes of humanity btw #even if you think you aren't creative most of us have at least some hobby where we make SOMETHING #whether you took to mending your own shoes or DIYing or playing guitar or dnd or woodworking or 3D printing or collecting retro synths #you likely have something you relax with #channel feelings into #these people seem to have never once experienced the human concepts of exploration or creation or play. all they have is consumption. #and its making me even more mental than i already am lol

pulling an all nighter :)))) like I wouldn't have been able to sleep anyway cause Bilbo's surgery is in 3 hours and I'm decidedly not freaking out but also, if I have to get up at 6, I'd rather not go to bed tbh. Also thank you to everyone who sent a 💌 and helped me stay sane during the night, I will answer the rest when I'm back and mutuals should feel free to send me one and get a nice little love note ❤️

#meow speaks #society if I had a normal sleep schedule #it'd be over for everyone #goddd I'm worried and terrified #even if we aren't mutuals but do talk to each other/know each other #then this includes you!!

[guiltye]

besties, if someone has blocked you pls don't try to create new accounts/blogs with new looks, and then follow them.

#psa. #pls!!!! respect boundaries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #gonna hide in drafts for the time being but ugh. #vague / #not about any of my mutuals i promise!!!!!! or even non mutuals that aren't blocked???? #but i wanna tag it just in case because i dont usually do this!!!!! #also don't create new blogs and then reach out in the ims being like: why did you block me? #especially if we have never interacted before? #this has happened to several of my friends and i am like: ????? pls just respect boundaries that people establish.

[pinkprimrose05]

So... apparently I have 100 followers now?

Where do you people come from. What do you seek in this barren wasteland.

#jokes aside tho thanks to all one hundred of you for existing in my orbit somehow #most of you are mutuals but even those who aren't are very neat and fill me with joy whenever i see them in my notes!! #hope you enjoy the rest of the ride that is this blog #where we put no tomatoes in fruit salad

[stabbyfoxandrew]

you know the feeling when you send someone a nice anon ask and they're just... kinda mean to you? lol

#damn #honestly it wasn't even that mean but it still hurt my feelings? #sighs #(to clarify this isn't about anyone in this fandom at all. it's about a mutual i've had for years) #(actually i just checked and we aren't mutuals anymore? lol) #diaerie

I mean no fanbase is perfect but from my experience the TF fandom is pretty nice overall are there bad people in it oh yeah I’m sure but that applies to just about every fandom.

However that’s not to say I’m excusing bad things within it like misogyny and it’s good when it’s called out which thankfully does seem to be called out in this fandom.

Anyways yeah you’re right it’s not your responsibility to constantly bring up anything negative about something you enjoy.

It's not even about responsibility. It's just not necessary for me to do it all the time. Not every post needs a little disclaimer at the bottom abt how my post doesn't apply to x or y or z. I don't know why I've fallen into this need to do it--actually I do know why. It's because since I've started the habit the anon hate has gone down. It's like I'm shielding my back from every possible bad faith interpretation that could be made, and while effective it has made me just not want to post anything.

There are obviously many times when this effort and extra step need to be done but the amount of which I am doing it is exhausting and needless tbh

#like that post I just sent out abt tf art that sat in my drafts for a month #that I didn't want to post because I know there is so much bad and just plain distasteful art out there #but obviously my post isn't about that art. so why would I need to write a whole paragraph saying that #if someone wants to send a stupid comment or ask I can laugh at them #if someone wants to unfollow me over that post then I don’t know why they followed in the first place #even if worst case scenario a dear mutual unfollowed me for smth like that then I was working wayyyyy too hard to keep em #and we frankly aren't compatible people #this is such a trivial obvious conclusion to come to but given I was doing it all subconsciously this took a very long time to realize #and this is my blog! fuck it. this is about my man vs self journey it doesn't have to be a profound discovery see I'm fucking doing it agai #do you see this? do you see this unnecessary end note that protects me from even the possibility of someone finding this post #annoying or stupid? even just in their thoughts? #Mac asks

I hate Twitter, I've been exposed to worse racism than I experienced while literally being forcibly silenced about my race in school.

#negative #on this day Native people have been brought into the Palestine genocide for literally no reason #and it's been decided by some wise asses that we don't understand genocide #IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT US WHY ARE YOU BRINGING US INTO THIS SHUT UP #not to mention I saw some cartoonishly evil pro-Israel ranting from a popular FFXIV info page #The Phookas is the page that went off the rails for my FFXIV mutuals that get their info from this person #so you might wanna. Not. anymore #anyway Free Palestine I'm so tired of seeing pro-terrorist ranting and raving that also brings in people that aren't even involved

Post-barbie movie human arc for ken where he undergoes an existential crisis because the real world changed him too and he gets to know all the difficult emotions like jealousy and grief and resentment before the good ones like relief and happy tears and he's afraid of being human, at first, and yet he cannot seem to let the idea go and it scares him

#I love ken okay he's become a very interesting and complex character #even if he is #just ken #ken #barbie #barbie movie #barbie 2023 #and maybe #I like barbie and ken together in the 'they become better people for themselves first' kind of way #'friends to lovers but friends first because they dont have to be lovers to care and love' kind of way #'second chances at love' kind of way #'mutual growth and mutual healing' kind of way #i love how the movie ended #barbie definitely has so much to look out for and ken has a lot to learn and grow and they weren't ready for a relationship #whether with each other or otherwise #and i love that barbie prioritized herself first #and just. its okay for women to not have to be exceptional all the time #to just be #because we're all human #aren't we?

[genderqueerturtle]

Got so much anxiety I worry about breaking followers' DNI

"Oh one of my followers doesn't like [X], looks like I can't post about it"

#even if we aren't even mutuals #I can have 0 interest in this person but they've taken the time to follow me and now I feel the need to accommodate myself for them #yes this actually happens and yes ik it's a problem #it's not my job to curate the experience of the people who actively choose to follow my account but I still feel the need to #I'm a people pleaser can you tell #leo talks
