he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

#i used to think it was romantic too and then i was like. now i see it as a HUGE red flag #writeblr #it is also almost EXCLUSIVELY said by immature ppl who think this is normal #fyi even if u think it's funny and ur like 'im an introvert it's just TRUE' like. you need therapy (ily tho) #healed introversion is just ''i would prefer to be by myself'' not ''i hate every person'' ... hate is not normal. that is not healthy #im sorry. i know it feels accurate. but if you're walking around with that kind of rage.... #1. you're making a LOT of assumptions about every single person u have ever met. which is often unfair and unkind #and also usually involves judging people based on their worst moments or little mistakes #2. you are being unfair to the person who is ur ''exception'' #3. there is a VAST difference between ''ur my favorite person'' and ''the ONLY person i like.'' #idk i think this is just a personal bias thing tbh #im sure there are people who have this experience normally #but i have YET to find a man who thinks like this and ISNT absolute DOGSHIT. although tbh.... like. im sure he exists #when u hit like 30 some of the things that were once kind of hot now just sound fucking exhausting. like ''im in a band'' #edit in the tags: i used to kind of be like this too. but the thing is that like. my life became so much more peaceful #once i started believing that people are generally good. like yes i am mad at the world at large #but it's just.... a very hard way to live. you're not a bad person or wrong for the ways other people hurt you and taught you to be angry. #but that anger will continue to hurt YOU. it will punish YOU. it will prevent YOU from making new deep connections. it will protect you yes #but it will also cause MASSIVE blowback. bc if you lose the One Person... your life will fall apart. i know this personally. #i really recommend just trying to be... cautiously optimistic instead. like. yes #people can be horrible and cruel and there are some communities (incels for example) that aren't worth that optimism #but i think like... most people will hold a door for you . most people want to help you find your wallet . #i hope one day you are able to find peace. i hope that rage eventually smooths over. i know how hard it is PERSONALLY #and i know what must have happened to you. and im deeply deeply sorry we share the same wound. #but i promise - sometimes we all need someone else to help us carry the weight. eventually the rage has to die so that we can let help in #i had to spend years biting at outstretched hands. i still often do. im still very wary . and my heart breaks that you flinch too. #here's the thing: i don't blame you. but we were both acting out of fear and pain. .... not out of healthy behavior. and ... change #was needed. i needed change too. rage was useful for a while. then it just left me isolated and bitter. i had to (with effort) #choose to let that rage go. and let people in . VERY SLOWLY THO LOL

To me, Machete kind of has the energy of a secondary villain/coldhearted side character in someone else's story that a lot of fans latch onto, moreso than the protagonist. Question is, would he be the villain in anyone's story?

Why, thank you! I'm actually glad to hear he gives off that vibe. I don't think he set out to become a villain but a lot of people certainly view him as one.

#in the 16th century canon he starts out as an introverted but sincerely well meaning guy that never quite manages to find his social niche #he was a sensitive kid and when subjected to enough pressure #his insecurity fearfulness and powerlessness mutate into distrust resentment aggression suffocating repression and self-restraint #I don't think he's a bad person in fact he consistently tries very hard to do the right thing #do his job properly avoid letting people down and get through life with a sense of dignity #but he is supposed to come across kind of cold impersonable and difficult to be around if you don't know him personally (and very few do) #people can sense there's something wrong with him and are put off by it #Vatican is a nest of vipers and as the stakes rise he retreats deeper into his coldblooded untouchable work persona #he has no choice but to start lying scheming blackmailing and eliminating his enemies #in order to maintain his position keep Vasco safe their relationship under wraps and his own head above water #essentially playing by the same rules everyone else in the holy see has been playing with for centuries #eventually he loses his spot as the secretary of state and is manipulated/forced to take on a role in the roman inquisition #and if people were sort of iffy about him before being the authority overseeing trials torture excommunications and executions doesn't help #and since he has so few allies and such an infamous reputation he's an easy target for scapegoating whenever necessary #towards the end it dawns on him that he's become the kind of twisted cruel corrupt person he used to fear and despise #and the guilt moral injury and abject self-loathing had largely sapped him of his will to live by the time the final assassin gets him #answered #anonymous #Machete #Vaschete lore #he thought his dream of priesthood would make him a better person more worthy of admiration safety and love but he climbed too high #and got roped up in the dangerous games that take place under god's nose and slowly got strangled to death

We visited the Railway Museum!  🚂

#Nips photos #we love trains 😭 #I also got video of this!! I'll edit it eventually #the video quality of my new phone is amazing I'm so happy #it was such a fun day a bunch of people complimented our outfits and we chatted and even took pictures with a kid and his mom!! #people were like 'oh time travelers!' 'you guys got off the train in the wrong era!' #it was very cute #if you are very introverted and struggle to start conversations with people I recommend dressing up lmao #personal

i wish we got more molly and will scenes. they have such a good chemistry together. the few scenes we have of them awkwardly trying to talk about their feelings and will unable to reach out and molly reassuring him however she can are so bittersweet. in the script theres WAY more small gestures of love between the two of them like will crying in her hands or kissing her face and molly complimenting him about his progress or calling him hotshot and sweet lol. i am one of those people that truly believe will loved molly !!!!!! of COURSE he didnt love her as passionately and as maddeningly as he loved hannibal. but i feel like he felt safe around her and found his sense of normalcy and soothing and secure environment that hannibal could have but never gave him. he needed that after so many years fighting for his life and everyone else’s. god i WISH we got to see those kisses or those tears from will crying at his own guilt for putting his wife and son in danger even with hannibal being out of his life. ( also molly is so pretty and they look so good together. and i love their little house.)

#will graham #hannibal lecter #hannibal #molly graham #also about the fact that will didnt say i love you back to molly after she told him. #ive seen ppl say that was the proof he doesnt love her. ?!??!?!!!!! #i havent told my mom or my brother i love her in ten years. #but i do the dishes for my mom and save up to buy snacks for my brother and play games with him and lets my mom dye my hair herself. #will went all the way to stopping the dragon to make sure his family was safe and people r saying he doesnt love them #cmon guys. plzzzz. use ur brainmeats ! #and you seem to forget will was abused by hannibal. and will is a very introverted private person with a lot of trauma and trust issues #give him a break for not saying i love you back to his wife when he went back to the fbi after 3 years of peace to protect his family #but im still a hannigram truther forever

#I was thinking of this #I personally see him leaning more introvert actually #I think he prefers solitude #the way he talks makes it feel like he spends a lot of time crafting what he will say #because he just doesn't find himself in spontaneous social situations very often or avoids them all together #if his presence is not required he is holing himself up in his room or going somewhere to get some peace of mind #he only wants companionship of animals and beasts #he spends a lot of time making elaborate plans and being one step ahead #I think he spends a lot of time in his own head which probably contributes to his various issues #and i think it works well as a foil to Link because I see Link as very extroverted #anyways let me know what you think #ganonthots

The long dark days of January are really digging their teeth in right now. Sorry if I am less responsive/vaugely MIA/slower to answer things. It's not you. And I promise I am fine, genuinely, and will continue to be fine. I am just exhausted and all I want to do is sleep and craft and listen to murder podcasts and not think. It's hibernation days. Maybe I'll be back to normal by Wednesday when I finally have a day off (last week was also the busiest week I've had in months), maybe not. But just didn't want anyone with unanswered messages or asks (current and future) to think I didn't want to answer. I do I am just so, so tired. I will get to them when the energy returns, I promise.

#comet comments #comet lore #personal #I haven't seen the sun in weeks #I swear #And this past week has felt very much like “get up do the necessary things survive go to sleep” #and maybe it's just my introvert self being over peopled EVERY DAY for the past week #also still plugging away at words behind the scenes #but man does social interaction of any variety feel like work right now #give me a few days and I'll be back to normal

im not a huge fan of the “ivan is a monster who kept people hostage during the Cold War” concept. i personally imagine it to be a begrudged on both sides forced partnership that neither party consented to or wanted and if anyone stayed in his house for more than 3 hours at any given time he’d beat them with a broom.

#with the exception of his sisters of course #this is just a personal headcanon you don’t have to agree #hetalia headcanon #hetalia #aph russia #HWS Russia #hetalia Russia #ivan braginsky #ivan braginski #mysty rambles #I imagine him to be a hermited introvert with the exception of people he loves dearly and then he very much enjoys their company

#you see. Beni is like a cat in the sense that she'll hiss and scratch people when shown affection/hj #you get what i mean #and being a Kizuna spawn Akira tends to show physical affection to the people she likes quite often #tho generally not in a flirty way. she's just hugging and spinning people around and resting her arm/head on their shoulders #what the hell is personal space #anyways #glasses girl is Benitsuru or Beni for short (Akira calls her Clover) #she's not a fankid per say? at least not in the same vein as Akira #she's Kanata's younger sister. as she's stated to have a younger sister an an older bother that are Hikaru's bio kids #she's an year and a half older than Akira and works in the Kisaragi foundation as a doctor's assistant #so she works with he dad there #I'll elaborate on her soon but for now you should know these two are essentially low energy and high energy couple #they met because Kizuna would bring Akira to Ando for check-up when she was kid and Beni was usually around him #so Akira would go talk to her even tho Beni wasn't very interested at first. sorta just saw her like “that kid that talks to her sometimes” #Beni is like.

Being aroace and an introvert is just a constant cycle of asking yourself "do I have a crush on this person? Or did I just get attached because they were the first person to reach out and talk to me and deliberately be nice to me when I didn't know anybody in this unfamiliar group of people"

I apparently have a real soft spot for introverted smartasses who secretly care very deeply and earnestly about their loved ones

#this is about so many characters but first and foremost this goes out to my most precious and #wonderful partner. this post is about him first and foremost. love you pookie ❤️ #but I can also relate this sentiment to the following characters: #chilchuck. Saiki K. Davesprite. that one hunk with glasses from blue exorcist. Sebastian from stardew valley. idk I seem to have a type #what I need now is more girls who get to be introverted smartasses who secretly care very deeply and earnestly about their loved ones #I’m having trouble thinking of girls who are smartasses. more of those immediately #this is a personal post don’t read into it too hard

why can't anyone understand that everyone is different and not everyone likes the same things and that it's completely okay AND normal for someone not to like going out and preferring to stay at home :/

#honestly i understand that my parents care about me and they don't want me to be feeling bad #and that they ask me bc they just want to make sure i'm okay #but i've explained to them what i feel like and they just don't get and i get mad but i akso know it's not their fault and just... oughhhhh #like yeah i have a weird kind of social anxiety according to my therapist and even she doesn't know exactly how to help me yet #but there are just so many reasons behind why i don't like going out and it's not just bc it gives me anxiety #or why those situations give me anxiety in the forst place #1. i'm just a very introverted person that doesn't like going out #2. crowded places/closed spaces/places where there's not enough ventilation/loud places (be it people talking or just music) overwhelme me #3. all said in 2 + flashing lights give me huge migraines that can linger for over 3 days #4. i am very much a night owl and i'm forced to live in a society where that isn't fucking acceptable apparently and i'm called lazy for - #- not being productive in the morning when the only reason behind it is that i am a lot more productive at night #but no one ket's me do that bc 'why are you doing stuff when you're supposed to be asleep?' #i have been the same since i was little. literally nothing has changed #and people where always like 'oh she's just shy' #but idk wtf changed #maybe it was that i became and 'adult' or maybe the fact that i started therapy and they told my parents that i have social anxiety. idk #but suddenly every single person in my family is worried about it and they're genuinely making me feel like there's smth wrong about me #i mean. i have my problems i'm not gonna go telling you that i'm perfect bc i'm pretty much not #but is there really smth that wrong with me that i need to fix #or is society just a bitch that doesn't understand that there's different kinds of people and everyone is different & IT'S COMPLETELY OKAY #have they ever thought about the fact that maybe these situations cause me anxiety bc i've been forced all my life to do them #even if i don't like them #instead of thinking that i don't like them BC they cause me anxiety?? #i mean. i know i have to go out more and that there's tons of things i can do ofc #but you can't just force me to do things i don't want to and put on a good face while doing it *every.fucking.day* #aaaaand i could add a lot more things but i'm once again reaching the tag limit so i shoukd just shut up #it's just driving me crazy bc i know they're trying to help but it really is not helping at all............. #ranting

Hrmm... put together a roommates quiz finally after years of thinking it would be an interesting idea lol.. Though obviously not meant to be taken super seriously, I just like thinking about this aspect of personality compatibility. Like yeah, maybe you could get along with someone just chatting with them, but living together is such a different thing. .. curiouse...

#Not that I think that many people would really care since I barely know anyone on tumblr in real life and would never live with random #internet strangers lol but... idk.. I made this to give to friends from time to time and thought... why not post it here too #just out of sheer curiosity if anyone takes it what the most common results would be and etc. #My initial assumption is that most people would probably fall into the 'maybe' category and that either extreme of 'best roomates' #and 'worst roomates' would be the least common #very long also since I like to be thorough I guess #THOUGH... upon second thought... tumblr is home of the like Weird Introverts Who Sit Inside All The Time.. so maybe it's more #likely to come across compatible poeple on here. given that many of the questions are about how meticulous #people are with their scehdules or how often they invite friends over or if they like to mostly stay inside etc. #(since personally I think having a roommate coming and going and bringing random people over all the time would be too chaotic #lol... I need a peaceful quiet household) #Also I kind of don't like the way uquiz seems to do results. I was hoping it would be a number tally? I used some sort of quiz making site #before where you weight the question responses with a number (so the 'Best' response is worth a 0 #The worst is worth like 5 points. and all the in between are like 1 - 4 points or something). So then it is actually possible to have a #''perfect score'' category (someone who gets a literal 0 points). and also you could weight some EXTREMELY bad answers #to add like +10 to the score instead of just +5. And someone who got the MAX possible points would be the WORST compatibility. etc. #But uquiz seems to just be like ''which category did you score towards the MOST'. So someone can give some pretty bad answers #that are VERY non compatible. but as long as MOST of their answers landed in a 'compatible' category #then they would still be listed as compatible despite still actually having some dealbreakers in there. Which is also possible with the #'every answer is a number amount' ranking system too. but I feel like that one does allow for a little more customization #and accuracy (like making the dealbreakers add like...+40 to the score or something so that #there's basically NO way that someone could answer with one of those and still get a good score. Or the ability to have a literal #'perfect score' (getting a zero) etc. #BUt anyway lol... inchresting.. inchresting... curious to consider maybe making a uquiz #for the characters in the gameI'm making like.. which npc are you type quiz or something #now that I've made one and seen how it works.. hrmm hrmm.... #(< game will not even be done for like another year but still thinking about nonsense like this lol)

Genuinely though, I'm pretty sure being a part of the RPC, and having to learn how to be communicative and proactive with other muns, has been my hugest "awkward, passive introvert learns how to socialise" thing over the past ten and some years

#; outofsmoke #not saying i'm VERY GOOD at it #but i'm very good at trying to be good at it #as flakey as i can be this hobby is where i'm in some ways the most active and consistent #i am a very very VERY passive person #and very very very introverted and very keen on just Not Doing Not Communicating #yet i am so much more skilled at it with this hobby than i would be without it
