Glenn: How many hours do you have in Elden Ring?

Me: 60!

Glenn: Yeah. Yeah…and how far are you?

Me: -_-

You ever realize that you maybe know two whole people who haven't been in a romantic relationship of some kind before and it makes you want to melt into the floor and die?

#i turn 26 next month. i have been on a grand total of 3 dates in my life #i don't want a quote unquote traditional romantic relationship #(i know this. y'all know this. i have talked about it extensively before) #i don't even know if what i am looking for is a romantic relationship entirely #i just feel gross and vaguely lonely and thinking about this make me feel even lonelier and also kind of broken #and i have friends who love me and i can talk to any time and hug and do stuff with #i saw friends literally yesterday #actually i think maybe i just want a hug. like a really really really long hug #someone needs to lay down on my couch and let me lay on top of them and stick my face in their stomach and squeeze them till i feel better #that's what i want #you can watch tv or listen to music or read or whatever you want while i do this you just can't move or touch me. just let me squeeze you

delete every app that makes you hate your life, cut off people who don't treat you as you deserve, start to organize your life, take a break from social media everytime you feel like it, wake up early in the morning and listen to music, make a cup of tea while reading a book, only talk to people who make you love yourself, stop giving everyone the love that you should be giving to yourself. life is good and beautiful if you only know where to look.

my personal favourite potential hawkeye/bj or hawkeyse&bj dynamic is so so dysfunctional and/or does not work out for any number of reasons

I like the fact that mike farrell was talking about walking across america for hawkeye, and that it wouldn't be the same, because I think yeah, the love (be it platonic or otherwise) is real, but they weren't functioning well together by the end of the show

they were highly dependent on one another, but hawkeye had a habit of giving everything of himself until he broke and bj would mess with him and with others, he'd lash out, he'd shut down, he'd not allow that emotional vulnerability and if he did, it was often through undirected anger

so I like the highly dysfunctional very-bad version in which they really try to reconnect and there is no happy ending to it at all, I'm a fan of bastard-bj who still lashes out when things don't align as he needs them to in order to function, but I also like the one that's simply "it was a bad time, and we got through it however we could, and now we're seeing each other again and it's different and awkward, and we don't talk about the war, so there's nothing to talk about, and everything we try to talk about knocks against scar tissue until we end up silent," or even the one where bj and hawkeye write to each other for a few months and then the letters thin out and maybe they see each other at the reunion ten years from now (although maybe bj doesn't come to it, despite saying he would)

big big fan of thank you for existing in this space and time when everything was falling apart, but actually the things I know about you because of the way we met, makes us worse than strangers now

#bj hunnicutt #hawkeye pierce #mash #im really less invested in it as a romantic-or-not nailed down type thing #i like it undefined and hovering and a closure that only exists in the goodbye that happens at the end of the show #everything after that is like deciding when to remove the life-support for good #i also also enjoy bj being good at grand gestures but perhaps worse at maintaining day-to-day mutual support (with peg or with hawkeye) #overall i dont think id write any of this i have other things im more focused on but it's the versions of events that interest me the most #mash meta

Persona romance routes are all pretty bad but damn they really hit rock bottom with p3p femc route like the misogyny is very blatant and it’s almost hilarious like look at the Shinjiro romance. When you do his social link he’s like very clearly respectful of Kotone as a leader and explicitly says stuff like "oh yeah you’re clearly the best fighter we have, I don’t really know much about fighting like you do, I hope I’m not dragging you down, you’re doing a good job as leader just remember to take care of yourself, everyone looks up to you I know you can rely on them" etc. like he has faith in her leading abilities. But then when you romance him he’s like got dialogue like "bwah bluh i gotta look after you because you’re a GIRL and you need to stick by me, a big strong MAN so you don’t get hurt" and "don’t wear that revealing outfit in front of other guys 👺" and it’s like. Does he respect her or not and also like it doesn’t make sense for him to look down on her for being a girl cuz he literally has never not been led by a girl leader during his time in sees and Mitsuru in particular really has her shit together when it comes to being responsible and a good fighter and she’s always known the most about Tartarus

It’s also like. Idk maybe its just me I’m not a girl so FUCK IF I KNOW but to me the appeal of romancing Shinji is the fact that he’s sweet and sensitive and gentle and has respect for you despite the fact that he acts all scary. That’s like, what made me like this character in the first place. But the writers seem to think what women want is for a BIG STRONG MAN to protect them because they are just DELICATE WOMEN who are inferior in every way it’s like. Shut upppp thanks

#persona #persona 3 #shinjiro aragaki #this is soooooooo obviously not the only romance route that sucks in this game yall know which one im referring to 🤨 #and i actually tend to think of the shinji romance as the best one in the series cuz at least his confession scene is the only unique one #that really highlights who he is as a character and goes with the story #but ughh just idk its so annoying how the writers cant decide if hes sexist or not its really weird and its like #really shows how poorly the writers think of women playing their game its like all the romance options are trash and then your boyfriend is #sexist to you and its so clearly done in a way thats supposed to be romantic which is. ew #like idk if my partner was like talking about how i need to stay close to them because im a weak girl and they are strong man #especially when im literally the leader of the team and have been doing perfectly fine thus far and am clearly the strongest here #id simply run him over with a bulldozer #and its like this will all the guys in this game its like girl shut up and eat glass #meanwhile when youre a male protagonist your gf will kiss your ass to the point its infuriating #and their character arcs can never be too grand cuz then they might not wanna fuck you if they realize they have worth #uh sorry my brain is all over the place basically i hate persona romances lol and i hate how they wrote shinji in his #like dammit i dont want him cuz hes gonna protect me like a man i want him cuz he isnt great at fighting and prefers cooking and puppy dogs #and has respect for me and trusts my judgement and asks me to talk about my life and interests and smiles sweetly #but god forbid a woman in this series be respected i guess

9 Anime to Watch When You Want to Feel Like 👇🏾

So you just finished something heavy or maybe you finally finished an epically long show (looking at you, One Piece) and now you need a silly little respite for some casual viewing. Here are a few short series/movies to check out for a quick laugh.

The Devil is a Part-Timer (series) - this is not your average isekai. Usually, we see someone from modern times getting sent back to like feudal era (or something fantasy-eque but primitive nonetheless) who sees meteoric success because of their expansive knowledge compared to those around them. Yea no, imagine Satan himself blasting into the modern era with no street smarts, no self-awareness and none of his fiendish powers. How does he get by? If you want a touch of action with your funny, this is a great choice.

Sub/Dub | Tubi, Funimation, Hulu, Crunchyroll

The Vampire Dies in No Time (series) - I love a good subversive comedy (as seen above) and this also challenges the notion of strong vampires and.. even what vampires can be. Ronaldo, white haired vampire hunter pictured above, had no idea the peril he'd encounter when he snuck into the great Draluc's castle. It was the kind of peril that lingers since, ultimately, Draluc ends up becoming his unwelcome house guest along with his faithful companion, John. Expect maybe a tiny bit of fan service but not in ways you'd expect.

Sub/Dub | Funimation

Wave Listen to Me (series) - what if your shitty ex could give you more than just a broken heart? Like maybe a total career change? Minare, woman after my own heart, gets plastered one night and ends up on the radio airing out her own dirty laundry. Turns into quite the side gig with her penchant for self-deprecating Gilmore Girls tempo delivery. The overarching message of the show has depth and the character feels real despite always being wrapped in a few layers of fiction. All in all, relatable.

Sub/Dub | Funimation

Chio's School Road (series) - Chio is just a gamer girl with an eccentrically rich inner life stemming from some severe awkwardness that endears her to me immediately. The show follows her everyday commute to school that is made complicated time and time again, usually by her own hand.

Sub/Dub | Funimation, Crunchyroll

Hinamatsuri (series) - imagine a magical girl who isn’t quite so… magical. She’s got the powers but she has a complete lack of self awareness and social graces. That is our MC Hina which is to low-level yakuza thug Nitta’s distinct displeasure when she appears in his apartment one day. The series follows their best attempt at a functional father-daughter relationship as Nitta tries to turn Hina into a normal kid with some wholesome and endearing subplots involving rough around the edges, Anzu.

Sub/Dub | Funimation, Crunchyroll

Life Lessons with Uramichii-San (series) - maybe this is the kind of show you only find funny once you have lower back pain but there's something about the bitter, worn down Uramichii contrasting the bright and hopeful children he entertains that just speaks to me. Imagine finding out that the Sesame Street cast is comprised of a bunch of depressed, chain smoking loners who are hanging on by a silly string thread (oh and they also have troubling sleep paralysis demons). Millennials, rise up, this one is for us.

Sub/Dub | Funimation, Crunchyroll

Love After World Domination (series) - love hurts but sometimes it's a good hurt like when you're forced to fight your significant other to keep up appearances so you can avoid scandalizing your relationship. Oh, just Reaper Princess and Red Gelato? This Romeo + Juliet story follows a villain and a hero as they awkwardly navigate their first romantic relationship, privately. Fan service in this show (as seen above) is going to be more in abundance and, at times, used as a comedic device so be warned.

Sub/Dub | Crunchyroll

Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun (series) - There's something about characters who show a complete lack of awareness that kills me. The story centers on a girl confessing to her classmate not realizing he's actually one of her favorite shojo romance's mangaka (who is supposed to be a girl). If you're confused, so is Chiyo when she somehow secures an invite to her crush's house. It's cute and awkward and the crazy characters that seem to surround Nozaki ultimately inspire his manga.

Sub/Dub | HiDive

Grand Blue Dreaming (series) - Rife with so much debauchery there's a disclaimer at the beginning, this show follows college freshman Iori as he moves to a seaside town with his uncle who owns a dive shop. Iori has moments of wholesome reflection while trying to appreciate his coming of age which is constantly underpinned by the mischief and trouble one can only expect when navigating adulthood, independence and romance for the first time. The show has a good sprinkle of life lessons from unexpected places, but, considering the source, take it with a grain of salt as there are several questionable elements that I'm choosing to gloss over here. Expect gratuitous fan service though. And some generally problematic tropes sprinkled in with those hijinks. Is it obvious I’m second guessing this recommendation?

Glenn: You’re never afraid to share your work first. AND you accept what people say and listen unflinchingly…how?

Annaka: I never show a bad poem.

Glenn, deadpan: Woooooow. You are a piece of work.

#grand romantic life #‘it’s easy Glenn…get good’

[myrainydayloves]

Headcannon that Glenn uses semi-cringe millennial words like “doggo” or “hoomans”. 

#grand romantic life #it’s okay I say ‘lol’ out loud

[cottonpuffmouse]

Glenn and Annaka are both neurodivergent so fiding a show to watch can be challenging because of how quickly they lose interest.

Right now: It’s car chases. Like the ones on the news? They watch it like cats watch a laser pointer move.

After months of pining for him ever since his debut, I FINALLY GOT HIM!!!!!!

Took like 90 SQs, but I finally got best Lancer.

Instant grailing and skill maxing after that.

*Farming for Charlie flashbacks*

Also, a bonus Liz Spook at the first multi roll

#fate grand order #fate/grand order #fgo #fate go #koala plays fgo #fgo jp #the greatest roll in my jp fgo life this year I don’t think there will be other rolls that can top this #I thought it will be a repeat of the first attempt (a lancer spook) but it had a happier ending this time #he’s my top 1 fav lancer by virtue that his existence and writing illustrates the best of Traum (as opposed to the…Rider char) #an embodiment of idealism in the face of reality…one of the most romantic concepts in Fate #anyway no more blue apples for now gotta farm for best lancer #grailed servants

hi! first of all, i wanted to tell you that i love the way you write, i really enjoy your fics <3

i was wondering if "glitch" is inspired by the taylor swift song?? i just realized they share the same name 🥺

if you've already talked about this before i'm sorry!

aaaaah thank you <3<3<3

GOOD QUESTION. actually i originally first had this idea when i was still writing steve/eddie (stranger things) fanfic, and it was wholly based on joe keery's performance as keys in free guy lmao. anyway never ended up writing that, and then when i entered the f1 fandom i saw this gif set (which SCREAMS programmer!max to me somehow) and i was like hm. HMMMM maybe i should dust off that idea but now its lestappen (and it worked??? somehow??)

anyway originally the fic was called 'grand romantic life' after this song because i listened to it pretty much on repeat while writing chapter one and i still think it captures the vibes of the first chapter perfectly, but then i was listening to glitch (which is one of my fave midnights song) and i was like holy shit. holy SHIT this is perfect.

so yeah no not inspired by, definitely named after :)

#have not actually talked about this before so!! thank you for asking :))) #also still think 'grand romantic life' is a great name for the pre charles sitcom spinoff for this fic #that is completely from daniel's pov and spans the years leading up to max meeting charles (so dan/lando/max meeting and their shenanigans) #eby and i were literally JUST brainstorming this #glitch

becoming increasingly concerned/convinced that I’m destined (doomed?) to be (romantically) alone, not out of any particular desire to but because dating requires so much energy, and how does one do it safely in the era of covid and now mpv, and the world is on fire so shouldn’t I be focusing my energy on other things? but also the world being on fire makes me even more scared about facing it alone. I just want someone (or someones, I would be happy w a platonic community too) who I know will be there with me when things get hard, to put down roots and make plans with even though the future is so uncertain.

like logically I know that I’m not too old to find love and/or a partnership, I’m not saying this in a “well I’ve reached age X so no one will want me” way, honestly I think I’m a catch and I bring a lot to the table! but given the state of the world, the pandemic, where most of my friends are at in their lives, it does feel like I’ve either missed the boat, or am about to miss the boat when it comes to finding a serious relationship/life partner. but how does that urgency translate into action when I’ve only just got a handle on dating during covid and now there’s another virus to worry about? and trying not to burn out while still nurturing my friendships and many other activities? it’s not like I want to be alone, I want a community but don’t know how to find the people for whom that is also a priority, and then it all goes back to the question of meeting new people and nurturing relationships - how do I go out and make platonic connections that I can trust enough to face these scary times with either? how do I balance a desire for a romantic partnership with valuing my friendships as well? how do I live in a way that demonstrates my value of community, when circumstances have forced me to be so solitary?

#covid cw #mpv cw #monkeypox cw #personal #ranting about my love life (or lack thereof) #I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but /also/ #really starting to feel like I've missed out on whatever window I had to shack up with someone #like dating during covid last summer/fall was one thing #felt like I had figured out what I was comfortable w and how to do it safely #but omicron is so much more contagious and even though I just had it I don't want to get it again #plus now there's mpv to worry about as well #most people I know are partnering or partnered up and therefore prioritize their romantic relationships #which cool fine makes sense but where does that leave single people like me? #hard to make long-term plans when the future is super scary AND you don't have anyone to coordinate with #not to mention dating in general just exhausts me like #where are my fellow monogamous not-party people?? #idk if I'm just on the wrong apps but seems like everyone is very into drugs/going out or polyamorous #which is totally fine obviously but that's not what I'm looking for #and trying to find a place where lesbians congregate irl?
