#like someone who is easy to be around

[writhe]

feeling more sad about my friend

#we weren’t super close but we hung out quite a bit a few summers in a row a couple years ago #and i saw them pretty regularly #and they were legit so warm and genuinely and comfortably funny #like someone who is easy to be around #and very present in community #so many people are grieving deeply #& there this little hole i can see forming & ripping at the edges of where they should be #yknow #like man i meet them when i was a weird lil punk and they were so fun and like. nonjudgmental and affirming and weird #we had a day where we marched 9 miles together #we buddied up at stuff #they always seemed happy to see me #& we saw each other often at the bar or at shows or at the corner store by v #*chance

stuck thinking about when day gets crowded and overwhelmed on his birthday he calls out to gee of all people there to remove him from the situation; and how when day tells her he wants to be alone she makes sure he knows she wants to understand him and he can talk to her (not to help him or to fix things for him; simply to understand him) and when day reaffirms a boundary she accepts this and doesn't press further. he's her friend and she cares for him but he's still an adult and she has no problem treating him as such and i think that at the moment she is the only one from day's past who is actively able to do so

#last twilight #gee best girl #i know disability is difficult on loved ones as well and it is very easy for those closest to you to fall into pitying and babying you #but gee has been working very hard to not let that happen to her friendship with day #she is immediately ready to keep teasing and playing with day whilst also quick to adjust to the new aspects of their relationship #she wants to learn how to guide day through the badminton court to take over from 'his mhok' and is more than willing to take day #to the bathroom in the bar but when day assures her he can handle it she doesn't infantalize him #she immediately invites day to the bar without any hesitation and then continues to invite him to her game because that's #an important aspect of their friendship #and when he shows up she isn't afraid to joke around and tease him #she's extremely good at not treating him like a broken piece of porcelain whilst also quickly taking cues in how to adjust where it is #necessary #im glad day gets someone from his past who doesnt need as much time as his family to readjust to his new normal #and it is also an incredibly good parallel to how bad augustus' assessment of the situation is #last twilight the series

For everyone who wanted bullfighter Nando when I mentioned it the other day, here you go :D

+ this one I don't feel like coloring yet(imagine he's in Ferrari colors!!!)

#did you know bullfighters dedicate their kill to a friend or member of the public by giving them their hat? #i really wanted to draw silly vettonso where fernando offers seb his hat #seb retires from bullfighting(yeah its an au now) and fernando in his green costume is like; #'here is my hat. now will you come back from retirement? 🥺' #but yeah feel very abnormal abt that ^ and also the thing abt them having someone who helps them get into their costume as a sacred ritual #theres just a lot of thoughts and ideas floating around in my head bcs of it #anyways i liked drawing this but it was very suffering too and took me like 5 hours #its like. you see the intricate embroidery and im like ah! omg! i love painting details!!! #and then remember im not the best w coming up with ideas for the embroidery pattern itself #so pls bear with me 😭😭 mainly i was trying to reference the diamond logo of renault #but most of it kinda just ended up being austrian knots i guess bcs thats what my mind defaults to #i thought the shoulder pad would be the most difficult but that came together the easiest and made the rest actually work in my head #aaahhh also im surprised w the angle of his face! im usually not good at side profiles as well as tilted down heads #but i think he looks pretty good honestly??? #also w the sketch i just wanted to post it bcs i liked his face okay 😭😭😭 #i wanted to paint it too but I realized im so naive thinking i could paint two of these horrifically detailed things in one session #but his face 🥹🥹 i like it!!! theres some renault era pic of him i really like where hes sun drenched and angry looking #^ and i think i captured the vibe well so!!!!! #well anyways mayhe ill draw more of this. it was fun but also like sucked my life force out bcs it kept going from easy to 'I CANT DO THIS' #the pictures of matadors are just...insane to me. tiny waist fat ass flamboyant costume. im dead 🫠 #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #catie.art. #fa14 #matador au

It’ll pass series 1/5: ronance

#drawing #art #stranger things #robin buckley #nancy wheeler #ronance #look I’m sorry for this series #it’s all sad #and I’m sad #bc I don’t have a funny story to put in the tags ☹️ #but I like to think they were like together #enjoying each other and the closeness of being around someone simply but never going too far #I think that Robin would say it first bc she loves so easily and so much that how can she not let Nancy know that she loves her? #how is robin supposed to keep her feelings to herself when she always felt so unloved as a child? how could she refuse to let someone know #that they were loved? #and sweet Nancy with her walks built up high and tight with guards stationed round who grew up with people yelling her they loved her #and never meaning it #so she sees beautiful Robin and her nervous smile and easy confidence in her declaration of love and thinks that she’s either lying #or soon Robin will see Nancy with her walls down and see her unguarded and think oh #this isn’t what I expected behind the walls you built up #and leave #so robin loves too much and Nancy is scared that she’ll not be enough for that love so she stops her heartbreak sooner than it can start #even though telling Robin it’ll pass is a heartbreak in itself bc Nancy fell and didn’t even know it #robin has already seen glimpses behind Nancy’s wallls and thinks it’s the lovely #but alas no communication happens #and so they part and Nancy always wonders if rob would have still lived her with her walls down #and Robin will always wonder why her love wasn’t enough #anyway #digital art

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.

Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.

#my characters #waiting on some info on the next commission so i indulged in ocs today bc i doubt i will have as much time for lil comics for a bit #deacon is so devoted hes like yeah i would kill for a deity that could easily kill anything himself but yknow teehee #and fulj just did you tell him you needed therapy also does he even know youd murder in his name #deacon caught red handed haha no of course i havent told him it should be obvious enough haha.... and its in his defense not his name :c #man really does have some issues but i love him so much and hes so devoted but like. unhealthily after a while #he does in fact need a chill pill and therapy but to be fair #ymber has needed therapy for centuries and yet he just bottles it all up and suffers so #its pretty unhealthy until they yell at each other one (1) time bc they are so insecure about things and get mad over very valid reasons #but then theyre like you know what that was necessary and i still want to stay by your side if you let me #and then fulj is like dude hey sorry you seem really happy did you fu- and ymber is like no please stop there we have not #fulj just squinting cause have not is very different than will not but whatever she doesnt wanna think about that with deacon involved ew #and eventually fulj is like hey ymber im sorry to say but i really do hate deacon and i dont even know why but he makes me uncomfortable #while deacon is just. in the room. hearing this and thinking how he knows she thinks hes weird but wow that wording hurts #and ymber doesnt wanna fill in memories better forgotten by fulj which she had forcefully removed #so he just says oh well his hair and clothing are black and you had someone in the past that you might see in him and its not a pleasant en #so you know maybe its that idk #and fulj is then WHATST i was rude to him for someone i cant even remember? lame im gonna try SO HARD to be nice to him now #and deacon just still sitting there with some food like this is v awkward and i wish i could not be here for it #and later he asks ymber about who he resembled and as ymber is descibing her it clicks in deacons head and he gets really sad #that he might somehow remind fulj of the woman she loved before she was punished for loving a mortal #and he feels kinda bad pestering her so much with his curiosities about deities and he kinda gets it #the fact hes close to ymber might remind her at the core that she was once that close with a mortal if not closer #anyway story time in the tags again #im so obsessed with these peeps and i have made them suffer so much but they do all end on a happy note #its still funny and nice to me that while fulj is creeped out by deacon and doesnt like talking to him #he still expresses the most emotions to her - he tries hard to remain serious around ymber and collected and obedient at all times #and when out and about with ymber he has to be intimidating and refuses smiling but fulj?? all sunshine and smiles and emotions easy to rea #and she is just that is so weird go away i hate you

This has probably been done before but whatever!

Avatar The Last Airbender but Hama managed to get back to the Southern Water Tribe.

It took some time to perfect bloodbending enough to escape but better late than never. After a couple of days she stumbled across a small town. The people were kind. Fed her, gave her clothes and even had a job ready for when she regained her strength.

Disgusting. Their spices and seasoning made her throat burn much like the air in her recent prison. Shades of red all over her body just the lashes they gave her and her people. A job...HA, they'll work her until she sweats blood...

She hates that she can't look any of them in the eye. Hates how the mere yellow of the flowers reminds her of the gleeful expression the guards had when punishing her. She hates how her body flinches and quivers when a child uses her bending to light a candle.

Disgusting.

It takes 2 weeks until she's healthy enough. It takes another until the moon is full. She certainly won't be going hungry for quite some time on her journey home.

After years of travelling she's built up a reputation for herself. The Puppeteer. Most places think of her as a spirit or vengeful ghost. But the places she lingered at know better, even after all these years some of those towns still have curfews.

After years of travelling she's gotten even better at her craft. She hopes that by the time she get's back home there'll be few little benders running around for her to teach.

Finally she's back. The tribe is joyous when she returns. A miracle they proclaim. She's dressed in her missed furs and blues, fed meals she dreamed of and tried recreating but alas it could never beat the real thing. It's wonderful to see old and new faces but sadly there are no more benders...the good news is that Kanna has a son now!

Decades go by and finally a bender is born! Kanna's granddaughter. Finally she has someone to carry on her work, and so eagerly too! Little Katara simply can't wait to train with Auntie Hama.

#seriously tho how scary would Katara be if Hama got to her sooner! #we loved Hama at first #well at least I did #so it wouldn't be hard for her to be loved in the tribe especially if she could heal #and when Kya dies it'd be sooooo easy for her to mold Katara #AU where katara is secrectly a trained bloodbender who will turn crazy the second she gets a legit reason to bloodbend someone #but then go bakc to normal when sokka/Hakoda is around cause cant have them finding out also they'll never believe you buddy #maybe like a two face like katara #atla #avatar the last airbender #katara #atla au

i've been trying so hard to get along with my brother-in-law but oh my god my sister's type of men are sooooo exhausting

#yes we are back to venting it's just one of those weeks #it's kind of aggravating how patronizing he is and how he looks at the way someone lives and has like. 50 suggestions no one asked him for #and i did seriously consider his suggestions but they're all so redundant and dumb #and he's such a typical stem dudebro who thinks every other job in the world except his is easy #<- not even saying my job is hard it's just. he was so dismissive about tv anchoring - one of the most flustering environments to work in #and i know it's a stupid thing to get mad about but i'm sick of him i can't believe he's staying here a whole week #he's got such an air of 'i'm right and everyone else is stupid' that it makes me feel so anxious and small around him #this is not even touching the fact that him and my sister make each other WORSE #actually i have more to say: #i hate that he doesn't care about hurting my mother's feelings & he's def picked this behaviour up bc my sister doesnt care abt her feeling #and just. WHAT has my mother done to deserve this. she's a people pleaser this is going to KILL her and i hate that #eat your fucking vegetables like a grown ass man you're not in your mother's house!!!!!

people who absolutely hate crossovers and crossover shipping and shipping characters who barely/never interacted but the fan is interested in what their dynamic could look like, who hate any non-canon shipping are boring as fuck and really annoying when they have the need to go in the comments of these posts and be like "that's so weird why do people do that?" or start ranting how much they hate it

because they can and it's fun, dumbass so stop ruining other people's fun just because you don't like it

if it's not for you that's all cool and fine it's not for everyone but you can just scroll away or block such things you don't have to spread your negativity in the comments where others are just trying to have fun with other people who have the same interests. stop it. you're being the weird one here.

let people have fun in the fandom that's what fandoms are for!!

#when will people realize that they're the ones who curate their fandom experience and it's their job to organise what you see #and what you don't if you don't like it you have every right to block it and please do so if you really hate it so much #but it is nor other people's fucking problem and you have no right to tell them what to like amd what to post #you don't like it? you block it and let people who like it enjoy it in peace #it's that fucking easy #don't go around shitting on it especially not in a space for the fans that's just read and fucking stupid #the time you spent writing stupid annoying comment you could have spent instead blocking it and making sure you won't see it again #but no instead you decided to make yoir dislike everyone else's problem for literally no reason??? #like do you think others care that you hate it? no they fucking don't you're just ruining the good time they were having #the world doesn't revolve around you did anynone ever told you that? #sorry i'm pissed and had to rant lol #fandom #people are ok with self insert and self shipping but if you try to ship a character with someone they never met suddenly you're weird #bitch they never met you either🤨

[totheidiot]

i hate that the solar eclipse just now serves as a reminder that nobody loves me.

#🍂 arian's shit #IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. but yeah #i will always think of the solar eclipse i witnessed and think about that #two people one of them my friend the other i thought i could consider my friend but HE PROBABLY DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT. #they both talked and did their things and laughed and they are so damn close to each other it almost made me cry and reminded me that #it was such a profound moment too when i realized what was going on #they were in another world that didn't have me and i get that. i do. they have known each other for a year and i abruptly showed up #two months ago and one of them we are getting close she likes me around #at least i think #the other one he is nice he is supposed to be like this he is nice to everyone that is who he is #so what is happening: he is completely indifferent to me. most he did was remember my name and face. but he is nice. #i like them both so so much it almosg does hurt when i stood there awkwardly almost like i was intruding #and i realized that i have never not been close to anyone #no acquaintances all the friendships i have had they sre the reason why i live and i know that they live for me too #we have known each other since kindergarten. they held my face and cried and told me that i was love when i was leaving for the last time #they love me. i am sure of it. #but now i don't have anyone near whom i do love. people don't love me. i used to be love. #it also hurts that i am Average Person In The World #i am not funny. i do not have unique quirks. i do not have a single talent. #all i am good for is saying the wrong things all time. #even in my old life i was someone. someone who isn't the same as the person who saw the solar eclipse today and felt all this #i was the idiot. I WAS THE IDIOT. i was the writer person. #i don't feel like any of these things now. they had a thing in common: their capacity to love and be loved. #i love very easily but i am not an easy person to love. #vent post #god this is such a small little thing i am the most pathetic thing in the world #feel free to scroll away don't even read this shit #arian contemplates his universe

girl who sucks at making OCs needs to make a DnD character send help

#I did make one who was rad but then got vetod by the DM and now I handed in a half-elf wizard but she's just so basic #she literally has no personality send help #and also idk what direction should we take because I have no idea what the other people will be like in the party #and I'm the only girl player there so I don't want for that to be like be a thing and bring a stereotipically girly character #and I could make her like a standard bookish wizard which obviously stands very close to me and would be super easy to play #but that's so cliche and I don't want to be like everyone's mom in game if everyone else is just running around and fucking shit up #but I know that I'll have a harder time playing a more reckless and careless character and if there isn't going to be someone #thinking for the team and we just go headfirst into stuff that also sucks. #and like I like to be someone who thinks about the solutions it just can't just be me being the party pooper if you get me #but poor wizard girl is just so mid with her 'my parents wanted me to be an X wizard but I'm gonna be an Y wizard instead' backstory #like wow such rebellion you're gonna show them girl #but at this point I'm a week behind schedule so I need to have a character like for yesterday #and I don't want to just copy others' dnd characters from D20 but they have like a group cohesion and individual arcs and that's so cool #and I suck at making up little men #miaing #mia's dnd adventures #I'm stressing so much over just making a character and meeting strangers bringing a character with anxiety disorder wouldn't even be rp #I guess great that my sorcerer got vetoed how would I play out being the face of the party

[every-sanji]

what are some of your favorite moments where sanji just gets screwed over (like the hgeegh bit)

I'm not sure if that's like. Getting screwed over so much as just being made fun of for saying silly things. That said I do think his bit where he just starts talking in wing dings (here) is incredibly funny and given the fact that it has been one of my most popular posts this month I think most of you can agree with that. I do in general think the zoro and sanji dynamic is incredibly funny even if I'm just skimming for sanjis I'll keep an eye out for them for a giggle.

#asks #anonymous #not sanji #i say that last part as if i dont have z0san blacklisted. i dont like them romantically #theyre just funny to me. literally antagonistic to each other for fun to the detriment of everybody around them #i love when zoro goes out of his way to rile up sanji which is. just about every time it happens #he's so teaseable its so easy to get under his skin like that #also since i'm already rambling in the tags i started watching high card recently #actually finished s2e2 when i saw this ask #hoping to get to s2e4 today if not more #<- guy who binged literally 10 episodes of it yesterday #uhm. if there are any high card fans following me... hmu i'm so obsessed with this series now #(not that. the enstars hyperfixation is going away thats still going strong #and ironically i started watching high card bc a friend mentioned an alkakurei high card au and i went oooo sounds neat) #but yeah. i need a vijay focused episode yesterday please and thankies. #but otherwise very solid series i think most of you would like it if you like one piece for the action sequences #characters are pretty well written too. chris... #someone on discord compared the cards to op devil fruits but if you could take them away and like. kinda? #the card chooses you but you have to activate it in play to like. use it #not entirely like a fruit that you eat and it becomes a part of you whether you like it or not #but anyway. watch high card #thats too many tags goodbye

[shirogane-oushirou]

having a no good very bad health day so i've decided my trainersona DOES in fact have a lugia on standby. as a treat. bc fuck you. 💖

current loose trainersona idea + some art:

they did in fact get through most of the johto league, went hog wild, burned out a bit after all of the Commotion around catching lugia (need to brush up on this, my memory is fuzzy, but i'm firmly in the "there are a bunch of legendaries they're just reclusive and hard to catch" camp so they're not like. taking The One And Only Lugia lol.), took a break to travel for college in kalos, got into a poison sting accident w a nidorino / nidorina while traveling near geosenge (and was saved by wild-but-eventually-partner sawk), and re-joined with their family who had either moved to coumarine in kalos OR wedgehurst in galar.

(i'm planning a swsh replay as ren once i'm done with x so i can compare the Vibes of the two places. also so i can dress him up HEHE.)

they officially retired their league challenge on the basis of permanent damage sustained from the attack. even if they could have somehow physically managed victory road, the brain fog made on-the-fly strategizing basically impossible.

if in coumarine: they're usually either in their family's home at the top of the cliffs, or they've ridden their scolipede down to the harbor to draw.

if in wedgehurst: they're either in their family's home on the outer edge of the town, or they've ridden scolipede to the lake at the end of route 2 to draw. basically "place with fresh air where they can ride their bug horsey to a body of water to draw some landscapes".

undecided if they do streaming on the side or not. after their intense league challenge and their accident they've become a little snippier... a little deadpan snark. but they aren't good at relaying sarcasm, and they DO have good jokes but it takes a while for them to form, so the quick-on-their-feet "sarcastic snarker" jokey archetype of streamer wouldn't work for them -- they just come off as mean unintentionally. and they can't be peppy or actively entertaining or anything. maybe they just stream to an audience of a couple of friends and the occasional stray chatter who finds their stream on accident.

hennywaise! all this to say. i want to ride my bug horsie and fly on my big-hands birdy and sit on the shoulders of my punch guy. i wanna ride a funny little Guy to local towns for a day without it being a whole Ordeal.

i want to be on a date with ren, when it's getting late, and he's like "oh shit how are we gonna get you home safely if the sun's already going down?? dangerous pokemon might be around!!!" i turn to him and say, "oh don't worry about me, i have a safe way home. =v= " i pull out a pokeball, toss it behind me, and out comes a giant shadow of a legendary bird with frightening glowing eyes.

and then i turn to it and its form settles into a big cuddly Wet Bird with Big Hugging Hands and i bunt my head into his head and scritch his chin. ren's on the ground, thoroughly spooked, bc Um Why Does My Frail Partner(???) Have A Legendary Bird In Their Back Pocket Like It's Nothing?? Who Are They Actually?????? and i can turn around and casually smile and reach out to him like "want a ride?" while he's still having a Moment.

like this:

....... i didn't mean for this to turn into a mini illust, i was just gonna scribble a little bit, but i mean... hey. neat. teehee. i might post this separately once i have everything figured out. who knows. shrug.

ALSO: working on back-tagging for poke!ren and poke!ro, so once that's done and i'm 10000% sure i want to stick with those tags, i'll make a post with a few tags for potential blacklisting.

#cw venting in the tags: #had a little breakdown a little while ago bc I Am Gregor Samsa but WE STAY SILLY.

strange how you claim trans men see you as nothing but a fuckable piece of meat. idk ab other guys but i do not have so little self respect as to want to have sex with someone who actively and proudly looks down on me and discriminates against me. it'd be like fucking an evangelical or some shit. you are so severely unfuckable i pity the dumbasses who try to go for it.

and wanting to have sex with someone ≠ fetishization ≠ wanting to have sex with everyone similar to them in some aspect.

like just bc i wont fuck some transphobic ahole doesnt mean i just dont like men at all. or vice versa just bc i like girls doesnt mean i want to fuck This One In Particular.

sex doesn't always have to be political but since we're making it that way; being a total asshole and bigoted makes you severely unfuckable to a pretty large number of people.

#'the boy trannys r sexualizing me' and 'why wont the boy trannys go out with me thats misogyny' #because. i cant stress this enough. you are a tar pit #no one who isnt exactly like you and respects themselves wants you even if they think youre really pretty #why? #because you are just fucking mean and cruel to whole entire minority groups for no reason #other than you feel hurt so you want to hurt someone easy to hurt #and that kind of misplaced vindictiveness and hate is so deeply unsexy #look if no one outside your insular bubble wants to be friends with you or fuck you maybe just maybe you are the problem #like im a pretty opinionated person and even i have made friends w ppl very diff from me #as long as theyre respectful yk #but if your ideology pushes you to beliefs that further isolate you while in a bad place #it is a bad ideology and you legitimately need to 'Go Outside' and try to hang around people not like you without attacking them #'how dare you think youre oppressed' #because even someone as Miserable and Hateful as you feels safe to harass people like me #even someone so Winner Of The Oppression Olympics knows perfectly well who they can target without pushback #if your activism hinges on the concept that other people needing equity and a space to talk about their issues is oppressing you #then you have failed. and also fallen into extremism

FINISHED PORTAL REVOLUTION A BIT AGO IM

#SHAKING THIS GAME AROUND #like ​THE ENDING ALONE- #literally day one and i already have 8 hours in it #portal stories mel has a lot of nostalgic/sentimental value to me so it's hard to get even close to it but porev did it #i only have 1 achievement left (fingerprinter) i'm gonna do it tomorrow im too sleepy to figure out what the description means #i was nervous stirlings voice would get annoying but he's PERFECT 0 complaints #i wouldn't say the puzzles are EASY (got stuck on quite a few of them) but they're simple. they're hard and simple and i rly rly liked them #sassy speaks #portal #porev #for the record it took me ~6 hrs total to complete and then i spend the other 2 getting achievements and generally just dicking around #and i'm like. average portal stories mel stan so i probably did it faster than someone who's only played official portal games #bc like. as much as i love psm those puzzles are BRUTAL advanced mode makes me want to die (affectionate)

i do think the whole "ganging up on one person for a week then moving on" culture of the internet is egregious enough and it's the worst when it happens to ppl who haven't done anything wrong but "body language experts" on tiktok decided are evil or w/e. but it's also still bad when the person's worst crime is just kind of being a dick. this includes creators and somewhat public figures like youtubers or artists etc like i truly think the best thing to do is ignore them. they either made a mistake and are gonna learn from it, or they're just gonna keep being a dick to get more attention. and it's ESPECIALLY bad when the "kind of being a dick" event took place months or even years ago and you're bringing it up publicly to cancel someone (even more so when they clearly changed since then). like why does everyone on twitter think it's their job to school a whole adult man for posting something mean. to call out a small artist for being kinda rude to her fan once. can't we just all collectively find a new hobby

#watching vids abt urbanspook and I'm like man. i get why you're angry. but just don't watch his shit 😭 #and ignore him on twitter on god. if him being a dick makes you cringe you can very much just go do something else instead #another example i had in mind here is the drama with ww when in case i make it came out #like a whole album about recovery and changing and apologizing for who you were #but then someone brings up him being kind of a dick a few years ago (and using buzzwords like grooming to make it stand out) #like man we are all people. we're all gonna be mean at some point. we can't be perfect and pleasant and nice 100% of the time #we have bad days or topics that put us on the edge or we become childish when smth we put effort into gets criticized #and yeah we should take a step back and stay offline for a bit but it's easy to not think things thoroughly when you're already upset #and this is exactly why we should be more forgiving when someone does that. imo. yknow? #it's one thing for the people around them to call them a dick and it's another when thousands of strangers gang up on them #just. man. move on. make a private post expressing your rage if needed but leave the person alone. they're still only human

Where did you learn about Robyn's mom living like a mistress after marrying her husband? Reddit users repeat this all of the time, but never will say where their info is coming from.

A good chunk of the information comes from the book Robyn co-wrote with the other wives called "Becoming Sister Wives". She obviously doesn't frame her mom's second marriage as a mistress-style relationship, but just the way she describes it in even the best of terms is enough that you don't really need to read between the lines.

People have pieced together bits of conversations from the show over the years too, and while Robyn does change some details depending on the narrative she's trying to push at any given moment, some parts of the story are consistently the same. The fact that she grew up with her mom in a different state away from her stepdad and his first (and primary) family has been confirmed with other people besides Robyn, although she just sees it as him splitting time between two families from what I can tell.

#robyn brown #sister wives #for example robyn talks about how in love her mom and stepdad were for years and she uses the fact that they were soooo excited to see each #other when they visited as proof of that. when we know that there might have been weeks or months in between said visits so like.....yea. #its easy to not get sick of someone who is never around #and i think that whole experienced really colored her opinion of what plural marriage is when the other wives who'd lived it had very #different experiences.
