Several months of inactivity and I come back with THIS

#my little pony #the mane six #rarity #applejack #pinky pie #twilight sparkle #fluttershy #rainbow dash #mlp #mlp fim #friendship is magic #so look. I was a child when this show came out but I was on the internet so I was embarrassed to like the brony show #so I think I’m entitled to enjoy a show that was well animated and well written #reclaiming all the past rejected femininity etc etc etc #doods

Ignore if you don’t want to read about me being stupid once again

#pls dont read if you cant handle venting and whining #once again i am here to say that i am the loneliest person alive and i feel like i can’t grasp the basic consept of friendship and do it lol #like idk how to be friends #i feel like i will forever be sad and lonely #and i know everyone will say you can talk to me and i know that but i’ve just been by myself for so long that i don’t remember how to have #actual conversations with people i feel like i am disconnected from reality #i feel like i am an extremely unlikeable person and that’s why i was all alone in highschool and idk i am oversharing on the internet again #because it’s the only place i kind of feel safe doing it #pls take care of yourselves first before comfoting me or anything im sorry i sound very pathetic #how do i start living again #how does one live anyway #im just in my head all the time #this was supposed to be hot girl summer but it’s once again summertime sadness #im so stupid!!! #im so anxious and depressed that i dont know what to do with myself #im so sorry for oversharing i have a therapist dont worry im kind of taking care of myself #but the eternal loneliness just wont let me go #idk how to be a person anymore #i’m just sad #thinking of going to a church and pretend to be a believer so i could have a community again lol

Getting to the part of your healing journey when you begin to want relationships again (friendships, romance, community etc) is such a sign of growth. Healing is meant to be a one-mans’s journey but never isolating. And approaching connection from a ‘I desire community’ vs ‘I need community’ truly has you entering that compleatly differently. And yes, you may get triggered or get disappointed, but nothing that happens will happen to you because you’re peace will be your priority. Boundaries will be set, and you won’t have a need to impress or fit in. You enter as your authentic self with the discernment to spot the right people <3

#wanna be mutuals / Internet friends tihi 🤭 I like cute and pretty things #art / am a spiritual babe / wanting to live that peaceful fun and pretty life so 🧘🏾‍♀️ #lifestyle #thinkpink thoughts #friendship #community

how does one befriend a sciderman u seem really cool and interesting to talk to :]

bless you anon! bless you bless you!! i'm always looking for friends, it's kind of why i do what i do! i know a lot of people are afraid to talk to me, (stinks) but i love talking to people about spider-man. that's why i'm here and why i live and breathe

unfortunately i'm chronically bad with DMs - they fire me up with such an inexplicable anxiety that makes me freeze up. i can't explain it and i wish i was better at it, but DMs are awful for me. i think maybe because it takes me so much time to form a reply and they wind up piling up because of it, and seeing all those messages makes me want to cry and hide underneath my bed. so please no DMs! it's the executive dysfunction.

i'm much much more comfortable in social spaces because i feel less cornered there - i've always functioned better as part of a group because it feels like less pressure on me to know what to say (as much as i love writing dialogue, i'm really very nervous in conversation when i don't know people well enough). in more open spaces i can vibe and just contribute when it feels comfy to do so.

so if you'd like me to get to know you better and to get to know me better then please don't be shy to interact with me more in my replies here on tumblr or on twitter! or i have a discord server that i've met such a great deal of wonderful people through - some i've even wound up meeting in person (insane), and we're bffs for lyfe now! tied our dicks together and everything. i love the gay people in my phone.

#sci speaks #please be my frieeend!! i'm a silly goofy little human who craves friendship. #but just friendship. (sorry) #sometimes people come to me wanting more than that and it scares me. please be gentle with me. #i love that people get starstruck about me. makes me feel cool and loved but also makes me feel weird. #i'd love you guys to talk to me like i'm normal. just a funny spider-man nerd. i don't feel any sort of cool in real life so #why should i be cool on the internet. no it doesn't make sense. #im a loser. like you. #(affectionate)

[sotwk]

OMG A NEW FOLLOWER. Just be cool. Don't be weird. Don't be weird. Don't be--

#i havent said this in a while #welcome new followers #i love you already #thank you followers #i hope you enjoy your stay #i hope you like my stuff #follower appreciation #tumblr stuff #friendship #mutuals #internet friends

cross-generational friendships have been so important and formative and crucial to my adulthood. and i'm not talking about "oh I'm in my 20s and nearly all my friends are in their 30s ha ha ha" [true], I'm talking about "I labored side-by-side with people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s and became friends with them."

one such friend and I went to a funeral today to support a third friend and it really reaffirmed how important these relationships have been to me and how good they are for keeping perspective and taking advice from people with more experience than you.

tomorrow I'm going on a walk and then getting lunch with an old boss-turned-friend/mentor who's old enough to be my mother (like, literally her oldest son is my age) and I'm looking forward to it so much. having friends who you can bond with but also learn life lessons from is such a gift and it makes me lament my current work situation (everyone on my team is within a 3-year age range).

#which is good for memes and general internet savviness but like. there's so much to be learned from more ppl y'know #i'm glad we got to support our friend today #and I'm soooo looking forward to tomorrow. I miss this woman so much. she really sees herself in me (we have similar ''backstories'') #and I think a lot about how she told me that hiring me (and a few other Young Guns) made her change her mind about millennials/gen z [lolll #but like that's exactly it right? that you can make connections with people you may NOT think you have community with #and BAM suddenly you're not just in community but you're also friends. you can take and give in turn and just really gain better insight #sorry I'm passionate about multigenerational friendships. the 68yo south sider I worked with taught me so much lol I love her

[thisisonlychaos]

Just finished ASOUE for the first time and it was SUPER good, but I gotta talk about the way these two and their freaking adorable friendship have viciously grabbed onto my heart. Like I was rooting for them to be besties from episode one but the fact that the show actually made it happen?!? Thank you!

Fernald's a big softie at heart and it's obvious that Sunny kicks up those big brother/protector instincts in him, and it's just absolutely precious. Also it's so freaking adorable that he only calls her "baby," like does he not know her name or just choose not to use it lmao 😂 Either way it's adorable and I fully believed and was whole heartedly invested in this friendship between a grown ass man and a baby, so...show, you did something right! 😂 Thank you for coming to my rant 😂

#a series of unfortunate events #sunny baudelaire #fernald widdershins #hook handed man #friendship #seriously though i love them #they are precious #Sunny Baudelaire and Fernald Widdershins #none of these are my gifs i stole them from the internet #the one where he picks her up kills me 'cause i can only interpret it as her running to him- #-cause she thinks they're friends and he won't capture her and then he hits her with the 'sorry baby' like BRO MY HEART SHATTERED 😭

if you call himmel pathetic i'm throwing hands at you. himmel showed the purest form of love for frieren and you guys think that's pathetic? what's pathetic is not respect other people's feelings or boundaries and acting like people owe you anything just because you like them. himmel was happy to have a friendship with frieren within her own conditions just because he genuinely enjoyed her as part of his life. he was happy to wait for her for his entire life is he had to but he also never stopped living for himself. that's fucking beautiful. loving someone so much you are able to let them go, not wanting to change who they are or impose anything on them? unconditionally, nonetheless? that's the point of life.

#either platonically or romantically having people genuinely appreciate you and having genuine connections with people is what makes life #worth living #frieren is a beautiful show about loss grief and how people change you just by being present in your life how they add to your life how #your true friends inspire you and how we keep each other's memories alive how love is timeless despite the finality of our human condition #and you tell me himmel is pathetic? #what a joke #i'm biting himmel haters like an enraged chihuahua #infection you with the power of love so you understand that loving makes the world more beautiful #besides frieren not understanding her own feelings at the time she always cared for himmel and the others as well #she just took more time to learn how to reciprocate and demonstrate the importance they had for her #because she isn't humans which is normal #a big part of life for everyone is having regrets and wishing it wasn't too late #frieren explores that perfectly #the friendships in that story are so pure and well nurtured #it's a shame internet culture rotted your brains so much that you think there's something inherently wrong with having unrequited feelings #and being okay with it #it's a shame you reduce such a genuinely good character who proved his will was above anything mystical to a 'simp' #anyways. himmel stays winning. #he put a ring on it too like imagine thinking he's losing when frieren is having dead wife flashbacks of him the entire show

[chandnihumai]

All I talk about is how I love books and literally no one has ever gifted me one.

#my friends are so dumb #and then they go like we don't know what to gift you #stop making excuses you don't even care of my existence #so many people around me act like they are my best friends but where are the efforts? I don't really see it. #it's just me calling them always asking how are they doing. #platonic friendships for me matter so much and I literally feel I failed at making genuine friends #my internet friends are far far far better #also i am not being materialistic this is just something that triggered it #I actually don't care about gifts but bro don't act like you care when you don't #dni

[iglowlilac]

is that all you have to say jeremy...

#i can't stop laughing #this is my new favorite internet comment ever #cause that girl is sooooo right #ayo is literally gorgeous just... stunning #'pretty' LOL #seriously tho: why are they like this?? #like. i get it. they don't want people to misunderstand their friendship but ??? i mean?? #why are they so silly #anyway. what a moment in history #people should keep calling out people (especially cis men) when their compliments don't do living goddesses any justice idc #i wanna see more of this #imma add the #sydcarmy #tag #just because this is my target audience lol #ayo edebiri #jeremy allen white #they just keep making it weird it's so funny

Ki Tae: I like you, you like me, let's date

Wan: I am not mentally prepared for that so if I could have a second to think—

Ki Tae: OK.

Wan: Thanks,

Ki Tae: are you done thinking? *I* was done thinking like 10 seconds after the first time you kissed me

Wan: I—well yes,

#wan knew he liked ki tae romantically in school but i think if he hadn't kissed ki tae before disappearing ki tae wouldn'tve figured it out #at least not for a little while #probably would've been on an internet forum in uni like: anyone else have a really intense friendship breakup as a teen that devastated you #and look back on your relationship with that person like oh i definitely was not mourning the bonds of *friendship* #our dating sim #ki tae #wan

anyways being a mean girl on the internet at a grown age in a space where the thing we’re celebrating is so meaningful and lovely is such a bad take

#entitlement on the internet over nothing is crazy #the way this entire fandom space changed so drastically when attitudes changed so drastically is wild #i love bts and you know what? that fondness can get lost in the sauce because of all the bad vibes around here lately #things that aren’t competition: enjoyment of context. friendship. artistry. fostering community. #i’m gonna start setting Hard boundaries to enjoy myself in this space again #because nothing gets to overshadow the love i have for these boys #but i rly want some of y’all to reflect on maybe why like half the people you know are leaving without a word #and sure maybe making content feels fruitless and contrinbutes #but also? the environment has become a lot less kind and welcoming #and i fear if i had just made this blog recently compared to when i did join. i wouldn’t last #it’s so so so easy to be kind and open and that’s just … not the energy anymore #and i want to get that energy back #because we’re all here for the same reason so why be anything But kind and welcoming and generous #u kno #.txt

[shapeofmetal]

Me: hmm I did not care for that interaction. “Blocks” ahh that feels better. Now I can go about my day.

The person I just blocked: on public social media “And then they BLOCKED ME. IT WAS SO RUDE. IM ENTITLED TO TALK TO OREO AND NOW THAT THEY HAVE BLOCKED ME HOW AM I GOING TO TALK TO THEM??? I’m deprived. Oreo is problematic actually! 🤬🤬🤬

Me: wow I’m so glad blocking people means I don’t have to see what they are saying. I’m living my life now and moving on.

The person I blocked: MOM SOMEONE ON TWITTER BLOCKED ME CALL THEIR MOM AND MAKE THEM TALK TO ME.

#the fact that multiple people are going to assume I’m talking about them specifically says a lot #I’ve had to deal with pushy or rude people over the years #I’ve always just blocked and moved on #if someone else blocks me I see that as them saying they don’t want to interact and I respect that #I’m not entitled to their time or energy #that goes both ways #if I block someone I’m not obliged to talk to them anymore #that’s why blocking is an option #so many people online treat me like I owe them something #wether it’s art or a conversation or a friendship #I don’t owe people anything #I just wanna draw weird robots #I’m not going to name any names or call anyone out for being obnoxious #if people want to make public callouts denouncing me for the crime of blocking them that’s their problem #I will say though that what I have been shown of those posts is so cringe #I do not regret a single person I have blocked #if you end up blocked on the internet build a bridge and get over it.

i don't know if anyone feels the same or maybe i'm crazy but like...is everyone supposed to accept that when you reach your 20s your friendships turn into this "never make an attempt to meet up but from time to time contact you to 'check up on you' (aka only ask surface level stuff about work etc)"?

sometimes I'll have irl friends from the past say stuff like "i miss you" and at first you're happy bc of the possibility of reconnecting but then slowly as they talk you realize "ooohh...they don't miss me, they're nostalgic about the past and the place they were in when we were closer"

and like i understand that as you get older it becomes more difficult to fit friendships in your schedule and that everyone is busy but...it feels so extremely lonely. i wish people did more than just check up on you, i wish when they asked "how are you?" it wasn't just out of courtesy

#it's like only work and a romantic partner have to matter from now on #and friendships are expected to drift apart? or become second if not last thought #this doesn't rly happen to me much with internet friendships #vent post #i think what i want is #for a friend to talk to me like i'm a real person and not an accessory in their life or part of their past
