Answers to "it hurts"

I know (apologetically)

I know (condescendingly)

It's supposed to

Good

I'm sorry

It'll be over soon

Stop whining

And it'll get worse if you don't *insert threat*

Well it wouldn't have to if you didn't *insert mistake*

You're supposed to say 'thank you'

I love hearing you say that

This is nothing, I'll show you actual pain

Get used to it

You'll get used to it

Stop lying

At least you still feel it

Shut up

Why don't you beg me to stop, then?

Can't be that bad if you're still talking

I don't care

You can take it

Charles and Edwin's relationship is really beautiful and I would love it if they got together in a future season, and when I started the show, I definitely thought Charles would be the queer one but.

I think I wouldn't mind if he wasn't.

Because even though it isn't romantic, it is very clear that this is an important relationship for both of them, that their bond is strong, that they're closer than anyone else and no one can replace the other.

Charles tells Edwin that there's no one else he'd go to hell for, while he's actively in a romantic relationship. He has a girl waiting for him up there and yet he doesn't hesitate to make it clear that there's no one more important to him than Edwin.

And that's really fucking beautiful and to me, it's only made better by the fact that their love is platonic.

#not that it would be worse if it was romantic #but like #they're such good friends it's so beautiful #idk do you get me?? #i know this is funny coming from a stucky truther but #idk #it's different #charles rowland #edwin payne #dead boy detectives

The thing with a friend group being a kind of community and a community not necessarily being a friend group is that a friend group is together because the people in it gel together and are there to hang and fuck around and do shit together because they like each other, the onus being that there is no one specific topic, people are there for the people.

A community exists around a certain something, so while a friend group could be a community, a community is not necessarily a friend group, and the onus of the community usually is a topic, a show, a game, something that you have congregated to celebrate and enjoy regardless of who you find in there, because you’re not there for the people per se, you’re there for people in general, and some of them you’ll like, and some of them you will not have a single droplet of chemistry with.

Friend groups also exist because interactions are made in good faith: It is normal to assume that whatever encounter of interests or opinions is ultimately not personal, and you just move on, because you like each other or at the very very least you don’t want to shit it up for everyone else and you’ll be good with whoever you have a disagreement in like 2 hours from now, anyway.

Communities are not necessarily based on good faith. In fact, it is a very common story that like cliques within communities try to undermine others in a vie for “influence” or “power” within that niche microweb context. You are united by an interest, one of the weakest bonds possible, so it’s not at all surprising to see person A misrepresenting person B, engaging them in bad faith, or taking them out of context for the express purpose of stirring the pot. The members of a community are also not necessarily your friends, and the context isn’t necessarily one of friendship, so you have a lot of, pardon the bluntness, socially maladjusted jerks that would just get the boot in any other context hanging out and shitting things up with toxicity.

What I’m trying to say with this is that you should not consider a community a friend group, and likewise, your friend group is invaluable and is a community, but it’s also home.

#from personal experience and observing things for a long time on the internet #perhaps a tangible example would be for those of you that have been along for the ride: #Touhou RP Community compared and contrasted with Hopeboyz #the former was a community #the latter is a friend group #a number of people from the former are in the latter #entirely because we liked each other and wanted to have each others' presences specifically going forward #the former had rampant anon hate and some high key drama #the latter watches toku together plays FFXIV shares their experience in roguelikes and talks about anything #it's different #remember the hostility of the community midst the joy it can bring you #cherish the sanctuary that is a group of friends

it's so hard to be in a bad mental space but still wanna talk abt stuff and feel like you're bothering everyone by existing

#i knew moving out would be hard #but i did think expect the abuse to get worse the closer i get to leaving #and being here used to be a refuge to talk abt mindless stuff #but no one here talks back anymore #so i'm talking to a void #and yes i do have friends irl and we talk but #it's different

had the thought 'it might be interesting to also collect a cicada nymph before it can molt and keep it as a wet specimen' and then immediately the concept of a cicada quietly growing underground for thirteen years to finally, finally emerge into the world only to get killed and put in a jar before it ever has a chance to stretch its wings just because some idiot thought it'd be neat nearly made me cry

#'jay aren't you gonna eat them' yeah #it's different #the main reason I stopped collecting insects after DJ and I broke up is that I get Weird about it #it's a weird... like. so vulnerable species notwithstanding #one thing about bugs in an ecosystem is that they're highly abundant and-- on an individual basis-- disposable #they lay a zillion eggs because they're getting eaten (or just stepped on even) by every other goddamn thing alive #in general my sincere belief is that a hobbyist with an insect collection is literally fine #but on a PERSONAL level because I'm not A Scientist and I know my personal desire for an insect collection comes down to 'they're pretty'-- #feels weird. feels bad! feels like a bad reason to kill something even if killing that specific thing isn't measurably harmful to do #same way I feel about people killing spiders when I JUST SAID I would take care of it #like... okay there are a zillion other grass spiders where that came from but YOU are still a dickhead for doing that for no reason #ANYWAY. I'm making a collection exception for magicicadas because 1) okay @me come on there's gonna be a zillion. it's literally fine #and 2) this double emergence feels like such a genuinely big deal to me! first one in ~200 years and there won't be another for ~200 more!! #if I can collect scientifically viable specemins it feels like... there's a point to that #beyond 'I saw a butterfly so pretty I just HAD to kill it 🥰' you know?? #... this has all come a bit tangential to the post I guess lol but... just feels existentially cruel #lots of cicada nymphs are going to get stepped on or eaten before they can molt into adults and I know that but it still just.. makes me sa #they live SO LONG. they've waited SO LONG for this. aahhh... #about me #cicada quest

"and i hope i never get sober" resonates with me far too much for someone who has barely ever touched alchohol

i made that post but i am fr afraid of talking to some fic writers i follow HELP

#✧— aphe's musings. #but i am AFRAID of talking to them as in “wow this person is cool. i want to be friends with them” #not as in “you are just a content creator and do not need my engagement to create” #it's different

It's been wild to follow a youtuber chronicling his first readthrough of YYH, saying he specifically wanted to read the manga because he wanted to know what Togashi had been up to prior to HxH, and enjoying it a lot, and then look at the comment section to find every time people telling him to switch to the anime because it's so much better.

#the anime is not better #it's different #it murders the characters of keiko shizuru and koenma and erases atsuko #and i have Opinions™ about what it does with kurama's characterization in the last two sagas #otoh the cast is great the music is beautiful and george saotome is a blessing #(but also i know that by the anime is better most mean that the usa dub is better than any version closer to the og) #(which is another can of worms)

What do you think about the iwtv tv show?

It's fine enough! Funnily enough i got into iwtv in the first place because my friend suggested I check out the show and I forgot what medium they suggested the series in so I read the book instead lmao. I think if I watched the show first I would be a lot more into it, but honestly with the context of the books I didn't love a lot of the changes. Mostly to do with Claudia (esp relating to her relationship with Lestat). I love Louis in every iteration tho! he is always a delight to see and I love seeing different interpretations of his character and story. Idk I could point out all the reasons the show didn't hit in the same way as the books to me but it's been talked to death by book fans and my opinions aren't super original I'm sure

On a slightly more frustrated note I'm really not cool with the way the showrunners erased the canonical asexuality of the characters. Because honestly that's what it is to me and a lot of other fans. Iwtv is the first adult series I've gotten invested in that had asexual themes that didn't feel tacked on and also didn't need to be pointed out. It's taken seriously and the lack of sexual attraction doesn't infantilize the characters in any way which is just really nice. The romance and passion in the books is something that really connected with me and the fact that they both made sex possible and also an important point to several different character's arcs is really frustrating and it's kind of the reason I don't like interacting with the show.

Idk I could go on but a lot of people who are a lot more well spoken than me have articulated better comparisons than I ever could so I'll leave it here

#to clarify i don't think fans making au where the characters can have sex is ace erasure #it's different #the showrunners should have been more responsible imo. idk. it makes me mad that people go “oh finally the characters are actually gay” #just because they fuck. say that again istg i'll kill u in my wolf form... #i sue you amc we will see a #asks! #saying things #amc iwtv

december this year feels different, felt different. no matter how the year went, december was usually the time I was able to make sense of it. build narratives I could make peace with. wrap it all up neatly with a pretty bow and place it in my life's library. this year, however, it's different. everything that happened deviated from everything I was expecting, wanting, thought. the roads travelled, even though already travelled now, I still can't name nor recognize. and I do not have the time or the desire, nor the energy or headspace to travel those roads back to find answers. but december is still december and I am still me so I will do things that will bring me some joy. like use my fairy lights to make a wall Christmas tree. and look up his astro chart to see how our stars are aligned. and have strawberries. and write emails to my friends. and read. and for when none of that works, thank god for those nights with people you don't particularly care about anymore but feel comfortable enough with that you can get shit-faced drunk with and forget that you exist.

Listen. Modern AU RDR2 may not be my cup of tea but I need all y'all who do enjoy it to get one thing right:

Not one single member of that gang would be a good or safe driver. Not one. No, not even the one you're thinking might be a reasonable person behind the wheel.

They wouldn't.

There would be speeding, reckless driving, lack of seat belts, distracted driving, road rage, no turn signal, etc.

Absolute nightmares on the road.

Would some be better than others?

Sure.

But that wouldn't make them a good driver overall.

#ramblings #i just have Opinions okay? #rdr2 ramblings #now would they be proficient drivers? #some of them sure! but not Good or Safe #it's different #much of my family tree are and were Proficient drivers but also Nightmares #(i think one of my friends would like to put me in this category but i would like to remind her that i am not That Bad) #my grandmother used to lead cops on a chase through the desert for FUN when she was BORED #i am qualified to speak on this topic
