#so i chatted w her about that too

[mainfaggot]

just spent 1 hour and 20 minutes making cringe fail conversation with my crush I think I'm overwhelming to be around also she does not like me guys this is bad

#i was leading the conversation and asking her questions about her degree/life/family/hobbies #ALSO WTF WE GRADUATED FROM THE SAME HS #so i chatted w her about that too #but i noticed i asked nearly every single question. otherwise it was silent #but not awkwardly silent? like she seemed comfortable in the silence but i felt awkward #like i was imposing on her peace... #also i was trying so hard to be slightly humourous but not self deprecating #and also to not talk about myself #too much.. #god i think i was too obviously nervous and talkative #i just cant stand the silence its too heavy for me.. #i don't think shes half as interested in me as i am in her #i also don't think my interest comes from a good place. #honestly. #i kind of just want to be understood by someone #and she very well could be not the right person for that. like for me #it's kind of like my interest in her is selfish and projecting this idea on to her #i think it would be best if we could just . become friends first so i can sort my shit out in the meantime #but i dont think she needs anymore friends #again. it feels like im entering her space and that shes graciously allowing me to do so #more out of pity than out of genuine willingness #kind of like i was acting with this other classmate #but to be fair that other classmate and i dont talk anymore bc i pitied her social ineptitude and she ended up being homophobic and racist #i didn't view myself as her savior or anything but it was arrogant of me to stick around bc i felt sorry for her(?) #arrogant or .. i dont know I genuinely felt bad for her bc she reminded me of myself before i learned how to wear a mask in social settings #i dont feel bad though she was an asshole #anyway what the fuck should i kill myself #z.post

so magical that yakuza 1 and shadow the hedgehog came out the same year........ 2005 the best year for sega honestly.....

#snap chats #AND DAYS APART TOO IN JAPAN (rgg1 dec. 8 while shadow was dec. 15) #the gap is significantly wider for US releases but thats not important..... #japanese kids were winning on christmas i swear #'snap why are you bringing this up' isnt it obvious. i am playing shadow the hedgedhog #and i keep thinking about daigo playing shadow and then later down the line just talking to mine bout it cause he can be a lil sillay #i hope he had dreams where he and shadow got to be besties. and by Him And Shadow i mean he dreams himself as sonic #because obligatory Same VA Joke Is Obligatory IF WE CAN GET ONE (1) W FROM RCS VOICING DAIGO. LET IT BE THAT AT LEAST. #for me..... let it slide for me..... yes ik it was jason griffith voicing sonic (and shadow) back then but let it slide this once.. #i refuse to acknowledge modern shadow. unless it's from that one uhhh fuck what was the cartoon called #its on netflix Point Is the one time shadow was actually like his old self girl i sobbed. too bad sonic was a dipshit though #a soul for a soul ig.... i think its ok just this once.... #im getting so off topic but this is how i inflict my other interests upon you lot #i trap you into reading a post vaguely about rgg and then i make it about something else :) #look at my pfp you fool. i legally have to talk about shadow the hedgehog like once a month ok let me have this #while im here. like /i/ know this game is nine years long but sometimes i forget HOW long #326 endings and for what. because they love me thats why. #fym 'revenge at last' is only ending 11 that seems like the third route or so you'd take (only black doom missions) #ok ive talked long enough. anyway bye im gonna uhhhh god idk.... i keep getting distracted #i started watching kagerou while my sister was playing mysims the other day but i got too engrossed by her playing to continue #mysims was like. A White Whale of sorts in my house for a while since it was one of like five games my sis actually played #and it was her fave but one day 1.) we lost it 2.) our wii stopped working. since that day she's blamed me for losing it #WELL then i found it and i got the wii u working SO all that can stop now 👁️👁️ ok ive fr gone on too long #unfortunately i cant talk about EVERYTHING i want to lest i just turn this into a general games blog. but i wont i prommy #for now. bye fr i think my sis just got home actually LMAO

[thejugheadparadox]

well im being proven right in my hypothesis that im incapable of keeping a uni friend for more than like 9 months BUT. at least im besties with like four of my professors and am soooo good at having adult fun convos with them that make them think im interesting

#i chatted w my tutor about musicals and the state of modern shakespeare performance for like 20 mins #and then ran into lovely medievalist who i hang out with on the ucu pickets and talked to her about strikes #and the other day i spoke to Incredibly Cool Woman about my measure for measure production #I AM SO SOCIALLY ADEPT THAT IT DOESNT MATTER THAT EVERYONE WILL EVENTUALLY REALISE IM TOO DIFFICULT

[mistbornthief]

i spend a disproportionate amount of time thinking about Aerith and the Turks and their relationship. it tickles my brain so nicely

#there's just a bunch of small moments that hint at a positive relationship despite everything and my brain latched on to them #obvi tseng mostly in the new game but in the first one too #the banter w/reno and her trying to stop cloud from killing him and then chatting with rude in his intro fight #'not everyone at shinra is bad' feels like its about the turks but im also biased so #ffvii rebirth #ffvii #like no time is dedicated to it but i....love them

I ordered an ergonomic pillow for my mom from amazon and today the app said "ok we delivered your pillow!!" and the picture shows a 6 inch by 4 inch envelope propped up against the door (in the rain) and I get home hoping it was some kind of error but nope they gave me a phone case instead of a pillow. a phone case. and I am disproportionately mad about it!!

#i come home from a LONG day of work looking forward to open this surprise for my mom #a pillow which might allow the pressure sores on her ears to heal #and i get a phone case #which was just extra confusing bc i also got a phone case in the mail today from etsy so i was like?? #did i accidentally order 2 of them? from different etsy shops? #did i order one for dads phone too and i just forgot?? #but no its in the delivery pic from amazon and it has my moms address on it. it says its 3.3 pounds. ok #i went through the steps on amazon to report i got the wrong item #and i picked the option to 'return it for the exact same item you ordered' and hopefully? #that will get me my pillow?? #they said theyll process it once they get the returned item so like #i would hope theyre not gonna be like 'ummm this is not a pillow lol. return denied!' #and i wanted to contact them to EXPLAIN this to them and make sure i was going about it the right way #but they dont have any fucking way to contact them!! #their customer service page is a fucking joke! #which shouldnt be surprising except that the last time i ordered the wrong item (MY fault that time) #(an hdmi cable with the wrong plugs for what i needed) #i WAS able to open a chat w a customer service rep and they were basically like #ohh ok np! we'll send you the product you meant to order. and no need to return the other one! #ugh #and now i need to take a trip to the nearest kohls to return it #idk call me old fashioned but i think when the company fucks up and sends you the wrong item they should offer like #literally ANYTHING to make up for the inconvenience. anything #or even like #have an agent available to chat with you to straighten things out??

[yardsards]

somewhat recently found out that my habit of clinging to a trusted extroverted/outgoing friend like an orphaned duckling in social situations is straightup a trait of autistic masking and stuff has been making A LOT of sense since then

#eliot posts #like??? #i can track all of my high school friends back to one girl that took me under her wing and i clung to and befriended her friends #all of my *close* online friends can be traced back to my one cousin who i have been good friends with since we were young #and sometimes i meet someone else to cling to from the original person #in high school the baton got passed from that girl to a guy i still consider to be one of my besties #and w my online friends i no longer cling to one person specifically but that's more just how online group chats are set up #but god like. i have NO close friends in college #i have acquaintances #and ppl have told me i seem friendly and kind and approachable and i have learned so many scripts for polite small talk #but i don't know what to do after that part! #and then like online i don't have close friends outside of one or two branching circles #i have some mutuals on here that i think we're maybe friends but i'm not sure and it doesn't feel like CLOSE close friendship? #like no one i feel comfortable approaching out of nowhere and talking about my day to #i don't understand how so many people talk about having made close friendships through fandom #it seems cool i just. ????????? #and on that note i have no clue when to consider people friends! if it's too soon i come off as clingy if it's too late i come off as mean #and what social actions are appropriate to initiate at what levels of friendship??? #why is socialization so fucking hard??? #it's SLIGHTLY easier w other autistics but even then it is fucking DIFFICULT #though that's all moot cuz i can barely convince my shitbrain to message the friends i DO have #but like ugh i wish i could make some irl friends SO BAD #to go out and do shit with #i mean i do a lot of typically 'social' activities alone and have a blast not having to deal with anyone else #but some shit you just kinda need someone else there to have fun

pop quiz what breed of childhood trauma borne neuroticism is it called when being condescended to on just the most neutral, limpid, nothing thoughts you express like you’re a little silly child, or “out of your depth”, or woefully misinformed, or just speaking on something you shouldn’t cause fuckin hell you’re doing it *wrong*, and with the most plainly obvious remark too, makes you want to chew on your own arm until you reach bone marrow

#i hate internet discourse i hate internet discourse i loathe online Big Fandom it makes me come out in hives #i'm not stupid. i'm NOT stupid. i know this. i'm not being mean and nasty and bitchy either. just saying shit wrong. #siiigh i don't want to just stop making shit and like speaking. about stuff. on the internet. but like also. why would you? #there are exceptions (who i hope would recognise themselves if not i apologise) but largely i am more miserable #and more self destructive more regularly since stepping out of anonymity and engaging with people online #except animal crossing. like everyone i've interacted with through acnh has been. really Nice tbh. which is nuts lol #the stories you hear are almost universally bad and yet everyone i've chatted with albeit briefly has been so nice #i get anxiety over whether or not some stranger i'm never gonna meet thinks i'm an imbecile or not like how stupid is that? it's ridiculous #my self esteem has somehow gone backwards??? #it don't fuckin matter! proving a relative nobody wrong and keeping her in her place don't matter! i mean it's daft but what's the point #and i know i need to internalise that i KNOW but damn it's hard #i want to just say fuck it and leave. become like a fandom esque zombie or whatever. but i also want autonomy over what i've produced now #unless i just delete all that too ig #but why should i!! #i go through this cycle every month it's like having an extra self-loathing hormone #if you're super attached to something w my username on it just download it for yourself you have my blessing give urself peace of mind lol #in principle i want to ghost and all of a sudden i'm am unperceivable and none of it's my damn problem any more lmao #but then i'm too bullish and prideful and egotistical so i'm like 'bbbut my seven tumblr followers who always like my silly text posts uwu' #i'm the dw in this scenario. the sign says 'just leave you're a nuisance' and i'm looking right at it like 'he he. no <3' #even if just doing what the signs says would definitely go some way to help with not wanting to just perish. or the arm chewing thing. #i just. simply. think. i would like to know. what it is i have done specifically #i know the answer is somewhere between nonexistent and nonsensical like it's not worth thinking about #what i've done is exist in a way that is arbitrarily deemed stupid/distasteful/ugly/deviant/noisy/irriating/etc it's irrelevant #and yet. there is a burning black void of needing to know in me. anon hate get into my dms tell me why you dislike me so #nothing is scarier. is the phraseology #like a game of wackamole with every utterance. is this one gonna get bapped with the hammer of 'you are so wrong'? why? does it matter? #who knows....it is a mystery...... #i matter so little! i have 50 followers! two (2) ppl read the fanfic and thought it was 'aight! i don't matter! i am such a tiny fish! #what is even the point just leave me be no one cares! #i *could* redirect this hysterical existential horror energy into my original work. i *should* do that

[vamptastic]

a lot of people are being lied to by their parents and teachers and pastors and a lot of people don't want to ever confront that fact. doesn't matter how much access to information has improved, i think the core of the issue is still primarily that people don't feel comfortable with changing their minds, whether it's because it'd isolate them from family, or because they'd have to confront that they were wrong or did something wrong. ive spoken to so many people my age where ive spent hours digging into their misfounded belief, figuring out what misinfo they were told and why, used the internet to firsthand show them exactly what lie they were told and empirical evidence of the truth, and then had them go, yeah, well, i still disagree. i mean, dont automatically assume someone is wrong because they have the same access to info as you and are just stupid, but willful ignorance is definitely still a thing.

#fine ill go ask my mom but you're still wrong and vaccines are dangerous #talked to this antivaxx kid #figured out exactly why he thought that #he said an uncle went into a coma and died of uhh think it was the polio vax in the 70s #sounded weird to me so i looked up stats on polio vaccine deaths n showed them to him. asked if he was allergic #kid said no. said it happens to tons of people while i showed him stats on how it doesnt #i mean the medical anomaly he was describing in the specific time/place was literally impossible #i think his uncle died of aids maybe exacerbated by early hiv drugs and his family lied to him tbh #but like man i was literally showing him stats on this specific drug #looking up his uncles name finding zero news reports on his death or any similar to his #i mean hed been told a lie he had so clearly been told a lie #and the best i got out of him was #fucking. pre covid vaccine too. people are sometimes just. Wrong on purpose. #had a similar convo with a gungho military rotc girl #cos i was chatting w a friend about her recruiter brother and we were both like damn. hate the military. #and this girl butts in to say oh i wanna be a marine with this tone of like. checkmate libtard. salute me and respect my service right now. #she had literally sat there. for upwards of an hour. hearing from a direct secondhand source exactly what lies recruiters tell #EXACTLY how recruiters are lied to themselves. by someone ALSO FROM a military family #and just. didnt listen. at all. #i personally did not fucking like her so i just raised my voice kept making my points to my friend and ignored her #but like man she had all the information. she sat there and watched us verify it and discuss it and just didn't absorb any of it. #had another similar thing with a kid about neopronouns-told him about leslie feinberg and stone butch blues and told him to google it #(because again he had just butted into my convo and i didnt want to spend an hour reading quotes to him) #fucking. completely ignored me said maybe that's true but i still think this neopronouns business is stupid. you're ok though. #not that he used the pronouns. that HE asked for. for me after that. #like man. okay. i do my fucking level best to talk to these people. i give them the tools. they HAVE the tools #people also just don't fucking want to confront their beliefs and don't want to do the most basic research!

[davlucies]

remember when imbalance came out and people managed to be upset griffin handled dav's perspective about cycle 92 & his relationship with lucretia with sensitivity, nuance, and realism

#imbalance #discourse wank #i'm still upset about this... people don't ever explore/care about how dav thinks/feels... all they care about is hating on lucretia #this was such a moving thing to hear articulated too... imagine saying you like dav but not caring what griffin says about/as him?? #bc you'd rather see the sole canon woc vilified and insulted.. and all the complex moral and interpersonal issues in canon glossed over #i mean if my headcanons had been jossed more aggressively in imbalance maybe i'd be upset but idk. it's just more angst/meat to write abt!! #think of it as a good fun creativity-inducing thing!!! come write emotionally complex dav fics that engage w canon!!! please..anyone.... 🥺 #there is so much interesting there & it's the worst feeling being alone in thinking that... and having no one to write for & talk to.... #i miss when fandoms were fun & creative and like a positive thing. just liking the characters/story and chatting & making stuff about them #i still remember when imbalance happened and someone got mad at me for being happy about it bc of course... of course. it's a taz fan! #i couldn't even be happy about imbalance with anyone because my harmless ship is so bad and weird to every single taz fan! cool!! #they're fucking friends! he regrets not supporting her and letting her voice be heard! he thinks he shares some of the blame for it all!! #sorry but you can personally dislike a ship without collectively & baselessly gaslighting me that it's abusive bc of what you're projecting #i'd daresay after 100+ years of friendship davenport nd lucretia love each other deeply despite everything..imbalance propped that up a lot #but you don't even wanna write or read about that do you... #dav having emotionally grounded and complex thoughts and feelings? not in this fandom. lucy being treated kindly? banish the thought... #also davlucy is CUTE. they're nerds. they're hardworking and devoted to saving lives and to their friends. they care for each other !!

#chatting to her about whats been going on..... she gives me good advice. i just gotta keep trying to do whats best for me even when its hard #its nice to see how she's gotten better at coping with her own mental illness too and can identify with the way i feel. we're very similar.. #she sees me struggling w things she's dealt with too but that im aware and trying to cope with it. and shes proud that ive got a handle on #things that have taken her a long time to figure out and come to terms with. #im so lucky to have her. i love my mum. #personal

A fair payment [W. W.]

Willy Wonka x fem!reader

word count: 1.5k

People who might be interested: @strugglingwriterwattpad @cattail5 [Timothée masterlist]

some minor Wonka spoilers I guess! If you like it, tell me in the comments, that will make me happy :)

“Can you mend it?” Willy asked, carefully holding his emerald green jacket that had the sleeve seam torn.

The boy had arrived a couple of weeks ago to turn the world of everyone present in the laundry upside down and, honestly, you were already beginning to enjoy his presence. You looked in the background at the blackboard that Noodle used at night to give him lessons in the hope that he would learn to read because, according to the girl's words, because of that he was almost eaten by a tiger. But in the man's words, what was important was the almost part. 

However, tonight he had asked you especially to go to his room, because he had a problem that he thought only you could solve.

“I think so, I just have to pass the needle a couple of times” you smiled.

Since your arrival Mrs. Scrubbit had used your sewing skills for her own benefit, because after all you had ended up in that mess trying to save a little to be able to buy the necessary materials to make a pretty dress that would be worth enough to advance in the business. Although, obviously, that had not been possible.

"Thank you! I'm afraid that's my only jacket."

“It will be ready in no time. I’ll just go to my room and come back, okay?” you said kindly, placing the garment in the boy's lap and earning a sweet smile from the aforementioned.

Just as Willy had his little briefcase for his chocolates, you had your own, full of threads, needles, and buttons, which you just had to grab from the floor to get everything you needed. When you arrived back you settled at the little table and he remained attentive to your every movement, pulling out a chair so he could observe what you were about to do.

“There was a boy on the ship who helped me with these things,” he began to tell you, keeping his curious nose on your shoulder “But I never thought about learning. You know, for when I had to be alone”

“Well, it's lucky you ended up here. We are a curious collection of workers,” you murmured ironically, referring to all the people gathered there against their will by the work of fate "What did you do on the ship?"

"Cook. Mostly sweet things, but I also know a couple of useful non-chocolate-related recipes. I was the chef,” he said, and you laughed at the exaggerated way he pronounced the last bit.

Willy began to tell you about some of the adventures he had had on the high seas and you listened attentively as the tip of the needle went in and out to join the fabric. It only took a few minutes to get his clothes looking like new, taking the liberty of repairing other places that also needed it.

“Put it on,” you asked, trying not to look at him too much when he did so or pay attention to the way the jacket fit him perfectly.

"It is perfect! You can't even tell it was torn, huh?” he said with emotion, feeling with his hands as much as he could. “How much do I owe you?”

“Oh, it's nothing.”

“I insist,” the man murmured. His curly hair bounced across his cheeks as he sat next to you and he lifted his small briefcase off the floor, opening it to reveal all the little bottles of ingredients. “Your talent for mine. It's a fair exchange."

You had to admit that the chocolates you had eaten were a complete delicacy, but a part of you didn't want to get used to that luxury or you knew that when Willy was gone you would miss his sweetness. In the literal and figurative sense.

Locked in that laundry it was impossible to meet many people your age and Noodle was your greatest company, as if he were a little sister to you. But now that he was there, there was a certain happiness in chatting with him, much more now that his ingenious mind had devised a way to get you out of there even if it was just for a few hours to see the light of day and get coins from the sale of the chocolates to free you of the enormous debt to Mrs. Scrubbit.

“What flavor do you want to try today? Do you want me to add some unicorn skin glitter? Rays of sunlight from a twilight on the seashore? Tears of an African crocodile?”

“Just give me something you think I need,” you replied softly.

Willy thought about it for a moment, because it wasn't the kind of answer he would have expected. What was he supposed to give you that night? A little hope? Happiness? Nostalgia? It was difficult to decide.

Through his bright eyes you watched him reflect and just a second later his hands began to work. You noticed there was a hint of mischief in his smile as he poured milk, chocolate, and the contents of a couple of jars into the processor, glancing at you from the corner of his eye from time to time.

“What are you going to do when we get out of here?” he asked suddenly, not neglecting the tasks.

“Working in a sewing workshop, I guess.”

“Why don't you open your own fashion house?” Willy suggested carefreely, as if it were a very easy thing to do, “You are a great dressmaker.”

“And you are a great dreamer”

“It's my best quality,” he exclaimed, almost offended. You waited a moment before answering.

“I just don't think it's that simple. It requires effort, time, and a lot of money…”

“We will have everything,” he interrupted you, with that optimism that characterized him. Suddenly he stopped what he was doing and one of his hands traveled to take yours. “When I open my factory, we will all be able to fulfill our dreams. And you are going to have a fashion house, I promise you.”

“You make a lot of promises,” you responded, blushing.

“And he planned to fulfill them all. I always do it"

Maybe there was something about the softness of his grip on your hand or perhaps the sparkle in his eyes that made you look away out of sheer nervousness. He seemed to be good and innocent, to the point that he probably didn't even realize how close he was to you or how inappropriate the position would be if Noodle ever walked in.

A tap interrupted your moment and then he abruptly pulled away, excited to show you the product he had just made. It was a pretty circular candy that was bright pink and seemed to be emanating smoke from the inside.

"What's that?"

“You'll have to try it to find out,” he murmured, as he extended the treat in your direction.

You had to admit that you were somewhat curious to discover what the man was offering you, so you took it between your fingers carefully, and even under his watchful gaze you took a bite.

At first it tasted like ordinary chocolate, but then it took on a strange tone, which made you feel a certain warmth in your chest that spread to your cheeks. It was a most pleasant feeling, like bubbly joy combined with the embarrassment of a hug.

You thought for a moment about what flavor that could be, without any success, until after a few seconds you realized that it wasn’t a flavor in itself, but a feeling, an experience... Was it love that Willy had given you?

“How does it taste?”

“Yummy,” you responded, covering your mouth so he wouldn’t see the wet chocolate on your tongue, but also to hide your smile “Delicious, actually. What does it contain?”

“A special and secret ingredient”

"Oh, come on! Aren’t you going to tell me?”

“I just want to know if I got it right,” he murmured and you frowned slightly, not understanding him “About what you asked for. Did I give you something you needed?”

You had to bite your lip to keep from smiling again, your cheeks feeling hot from the simple fact that he was looking at you. You thought that this could even be a love potion that you had consumed without thinking about it, just because he was the one who was offering it to you.

“We could say yes”

“We're even, then,” he exclaimed as he waved the sleeve of his jacket and you nodded in amusement, eating the rest of the chocolate he had made for you.

A yawn leaving your lips made you aware of how exhausted you were and although you didn't love the idea, you knew it was time to leave.

“It's late, I should go to sleep before we wake anyone up.”

“Yes, yes, of course,” Willy said quickly, getting up from his seat to accompany you to the exit. “I'll see you tomorrow.”

“Rest,” you said kindly, and, gathering courage, you leaned forward a little to say goodbye with a hug that he gladly returned.

As you walked down the hall to your shabby, damp room, you thought that it probably wouldn't have even taken a love potion to fall for the charms of the pleasant chocolatier. You just needed one of his smiles.
