I miss people using non-medicalized terms for other people's passions
like. well and good to talk about "hyperfixations," "special interests [in the context of an autistic person's favorite subject]," or "infodumping" if you have ADD/ADHD or autism, or are talking about someone who is, but...that's not everyone who feels strongly about something, obsesses, or loves talking about their interests. those words mean specific things, associated with specific forms of neurodivergence
don't assume everyone is comfortable with that language
"rambling" is a word; so is "ranting." "obsession" is a word. "passion" is a word. learn them and use them

somewhat related to my last post:
idk who's active on tiktok (i'm not but my friends are) do you remember the scar girl drama. the girl who would put makeup on her cheek and call it a scar and it made everyone weirdly upset
that's anne von blyssen. that's her. people cannot decide if she has a skin condition or if she went off the deep end during her time off from dressage showing and now she's trying to get her fame back. when pressed for details she just says she went to hell and then rediscovered herself. do you understand the drama videos on jortube i'm envisioning. do you

"real jewish people stand with palestinians and support a free palestine." - look, i agree with this entire post, but unless you're jewish yourself (if you are, disregard this), please don't speak about good jews, bad jews, real jews, fake jews. my zionist relatives are just as jewish as my staunchly anti-zionist acquaintances.
i am jewish. and i have zero respect for jewish people who are zionists. just as i have zero respect for non-jewish people who are zionists. just as i have zero respect for my jewish family members who are zionists

Has anyone done a fic where Steve n Robin are those friends who make a pact that if they’re both still single by 30 they’ll get married (so they don’t have to be alone forever), but then in the year where they start planning everything for real and organising venues and music, they end up meeting Nancy, wedding cake baker, and Eddie, band musician?

My pf 0 rizz wizard acquired a surprise gf and it's just??? Girlfriend???? Gorlfriend?????
The we are not friends I'm using you for political connections at this prestigious wizard university because you're nobility and also a Magus (wizard jock) and I think you're an easy target and a little dull -> wow you've considered me a friend this whole time and I've been an ass and also in hindsight you WERE the closest thing I had to a friend in wizard academia -> I only realize this after I break your trust by lying to your face about using you for political gain -> spending time with good hearted adventurers and not my asshole wizard master makes me realize that people normally have emotions beyond just blind ambition??? And maybe guilt is a thing and I need to learn how to be apologetic and not just a neutral selfish wizard post grad??? -> fumbles every single apology because she has had no connections outside of elf politics in a decade -> this pitiful attempt at being honest for once is apparently endearing, esp in contrast to all the machinations and manipulations -> leads to masquerade dancing even with two left feet and a dropped pair of glasses and every other cliche
There's another date??? Squeezed in amongst the political intrigue??? I'm????
Our himbo paladin is also flirting with a murderess ron swanson-esque dwarf and it is. So good.

my favourite thing to lie about is sometimes i will just tell people i’m bilingual. like if you aren’t fluent but know a language that isn’t very commonly spoken, there’s a 90% chance that you will be the only person in the room with working knowledge of that language. make a grammar mistake? who’s gonna correct you? this never fails to work and makes me laugh every time
