#which is awkward for walking

[ghost-bxrd]

Prompt:

Jason, recently returned to Gotham and still in the process of setting himself up as the Red Hood, is feeling a bit under the weather and goes grocery shopping.

He ends up quite literally bumping into a familiar face.

#I know the most obvious would be Alfred #but consider: Bruce #Bruce did not expect to almost bowel a kid with a nostalgic red hoodie over in the supermarket #Jason did not expect to bump into Bruce #they are both very much blue screening #jason doesn’t know whether to run or play dumb #Bruce considers the possibilities of twins #(and by god is he gonna adopt this kid pls) #Bruce ends up striking up a convo with a very awkward teen #jason is internally screaming the entire time #trying to weasel himself out of this #Bruce is not about to let this specter walk out of his life no sir #or he bumps into dick #which is a whole other can of worms #jason todd #batfamily #batfam #dick grayson #bruce wayne #robin #tim drake #red hood #prompts #batdad #Batman

in love with my little crew

#henry got very very mad at sprig the other day #after a lot of trigger stacking #i had been bed bound for 4 days post tonsillectomy #so none of the dogs had had any interaction or exercise #so they were all stressed and restless #i was in bed and heard hollering and screaming #i ran downstairs and by the time i got there the fight was over and no one was injured #i looked back on the camera and hen had been lying down chewing something #moby was being irritating and trying to get it out of his mouth #hen ignored him #then budge came over and tried to retrieve it as well #hen continued munching and didn't even bother correcting them #but then sprig walked over to see what was going on #and stuck his head in hens mouth #hen gave a slight correction #and then sprig in awkward panic made a move to like mount hen?? #and anyway hen just turned around and NAILED him #which was scary because hes never done anything like that before #I'm thinking it's because sprig is entire and also quite a bit larger #and apparently at like 10-12mo their hormones go insane even if they're not acting like jerks?? and it makes neutered males upset? #anyway i'm sure sprig has learnt not to hump hen #but my immediate instinct is to DESEX SPRIG NOW #because all of my dogs have been desexed under a year old #i dont know how to own entire dogs! #but i really really wanna keep spriggy entire until at least 2yrs #anyway Sprig literally just screamed and peed himself which was most of the noise #if needed i'll start separating the old man and the baby regularly so they can have time out from each other #still very good boys #henry #sprig

i just came out to a real life person and i think im having a heart attack

#IT WAS SO UNPLANNED I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT AT ALL I DIDN'T EVWN THINK WE WERW FRIENDS?? #she lives in the building next to mine and we go to tui together to divide the auto fare and we've been walking home 2-3 dino se #and she likes kpop and kdramas #but like there isn't that Spark yk like oh ny god i love u best friends forever its a little awkward and formal still #but we were talking about something and oh my god #when we reached home we were standing uski building ke neeche and she was like i want to introduce you to my childhood bestie i think you #two will like each other #and i was like kinda weirded out like um are we that close yet i thought we were just classmates 😭😭 #so i asked ki oh why all of a sudden #and she's like 'i like you' and i look at her and laugh and she said STOP LAUGHING i don't meant it like that im straight ok #and idk something in me snapped i was like oh are u homophobic too? #but pls she didn't know what it meant 😭 so i explained ki do u hate gay people then #she said no no ofc not SO I JUST BLURTED OUT KI good cause im bisexual #THE SHOCK ON HER FACE OMG im saying this now in freaking out now but at that time i said it really coolly and proudly without fumbling #my voice didn't drop down to a low volume or waver or anything (which im so proud bc she's like the first irl person ive come out to face #to face??????? i mean obv childhood friends don't count they're all gay #but anyway she was like OH and then SHE FUMBLED she was like oh nice i respect u very much and it was so awkward i was like haan haan shut #up just don't tell anyone very few ppl know 😭and she wasn't done she was like so as i was saying #we're growing old and real good friendships are getting harder to find and i like you (stop laughing!!) and i hope we don't jinx it #and she literally touched a wooden table lying there and said touchwood???? 😭😭😭😭😭 #now i am thinking why did i tell her she's so extroverted she talks to everyone we go to the same tui this town is tiny #she could tell everyone my parents could find out #but also a part of me is relieved cause im so sick of hiding something that is such a small yet imp part of me #and if she tells everyone then cool maybe there'll be more queer people i can't ve the only queer person in this town and we could be #friends and my parents eh they'd never believe something like that they'll ask me if it's true and ill say nah just rumors dumb kids #and they'll believe me because they'll want to believe me so bad #so no harm #i still don't feel very bestfriendy with her but maybe my standards are too high 😭 idk ig i can't see myself being friends with her #for a long time if we weren't forced by circumstances and i don't like her that much but im happy i got to say it #literally said it omg 'kyunki main hu. bisexual' FUCK THAT FELT GOOD

omfg the other day i was explaining to this guy (j) how i eat all my meals while pacing & in doing so i used chicken n rice as an example -> j: no way r u a GYM BRO / me & L (mutual friend who’s also brown): nooo omg chk + rice in like a brown way / j: ohhh. i’m sorry gym bros appropriated ur culture like that man

#ALSO there was such an awkward moment that night tho.. basically we (~10 of us) were going on a walk right #except 5 of us left like 2 min earlier. and then the rest of us except j left (bc it’s his house n he needed to get keys) but then i went #back to pick up my jacket bc i was cold so basically me & j had to walk together on our own to catch up to the rest. which would be fine if #we didn’t fuck once almost a yr ago & then avoided each other at all group gatherings since #.txt

#oh wow... #i just had an oh shit fuck moment #wow #i usually complain about the one therapist i had in my entire life and how she wouldn't just listen to what i was saying #if it didn't fit her textbook definition of whatever she was thinking at the time #and how i talked to her about my anxiety and how that made me feel and she would only focus on how i acted #so the example i gave her was the one time i went into a shop to buy something by myself #because my mom didn't want to go in for me and arguing with my mom in front of the shop in public and then inevitably have to #go in myself either way was way worse to me #because of the embarrassement of arguing in public. the fact that my mom was gonna spend the entire walk home telling me how i have to #''just suck it up and learn and just overcome my anxiety because i don't have a problem'' or whatever #and then having to go into the shop where the lady had been watching me from inside the entire time how i clearly didn't want to go in #and possibly be even more awkward with teary eyes because of the anxiety and awkwardness i already bring to the table any day... #all of those things that were going inside my head were trumped by the fact that i did go in and did buy what i needed #although my heart was coming out of my chest the entire time... all that didn't matter to my therapist because in her words: #''if you had anxiety. you simply wouldn't have gone in'' #which is ridiculous #but anyways... i just had an epiphany... that was masking wasn't it? #forcing myself to do something that brings me major discomfort to make my mother and the shop lady not judge me? #pretend i'm a normal human being just doing normal things instead of someone who's about to have a heart attack buying embroidery thread? #panicking the entire time because i wasn't prepeared and hadn't scripted the entire transaction in my head? #yet still going in and putting on my ''normal person'' mask to try to seem like i wasn't just dying seconds ago (and still was)? #isn't that literally what masking is?! #and the ''autism specialist'' ass therapist was like ''if you did it then you don't have a problem'' #when i'm literally telling her how much of a problem it actually WAS?! #you know what's the best part about all this #that when i told my mom after i left that therapist that she didn't listen to me because [insert everything above] #my mom's response was ''well sometimes therapist will say things that you don't want to hear but you have to accept them''.... #same woman who's always saying how much she hates therapists because they ''will say whatever and pretend they know shit'' #ok so it's only The Truth when I tell you it isn't...

the boy and the heron (how do you live?)

#the boy and the heron #hayao miyazaki #i have many many personal thoughts after this movie and they’re all running wild in my head #you watch some movies at just the right time in your life and this was one of those #it was the same with kiki’s delivery service which i watched right after moving away #coincidentally also all alone and by the sea and to pursue education #i cried six times and i will no longer consider wet eyes crying at a movie because i was full on sobbing #for the first time in my life #first at the very beginning. then the fiery girl. then the creatures #then two times at the end of movie monologues. Ann then the closing song delivered the final blow #i’m very sad that the only person i would immediately want to walk about it and who would enjoy it with me isn’t here #but i’m also hopeful and i believe that there will be equally great friends in my future #i will find them or they will find me and perhaps it will be a little awkward at first but that’s how you build relationships (and worlds) #piece by piece and changing them once in a while #and it will be ok and i will not forget #mine #oh and i also got a movie postcard in the cinema which was so nice

torn between free food and going home

#life is full of tough decisions #but the problem with free food is i barely know anyone :( #and while i know it osnt it still FEELS like intruding #bc its a thing for the line and like yeah im on the line but I've also only been on the line for 3 days #so #but free food :((( #tho its probably like. wings. which i dont even eat. #well #i could walk that way and see #...... but idk:( #i probably just wont bc id feel too awkward #shh ac

[tinylittlebab]

ill be skinny. it will happen. ive been trying for so long now. once it was just trying to eat less and be smaller but not much real focus on my physical appearance. now its all about that. 11 years of my ed and 7 years of wanting what i want now. i dont live with my parents anymore. i have more control. i will achieve it.

there was a time where id eat 300-700 consistently. ill get that back. i will.

#most of the years ive had an ed i had no access to a scale so it was very jard to track progress #maybe i did lie my ass off and fool ppl around me into thinking its actually healthier for me to have a scale bc ill restrict worse without #one which is half true. not that kts anyones right to make that choice at this point. at least not in 2 months when im 18 its not #part of the problem im having is i wanna be small but i have so little muscle that ill have to be very dangerously underweight to look even #close to how i want. many peoples ugws are under that line. mine was once. before i learned that its genuinely very very dangerous #and a lot of the people who look the way i wanna look are only just below that line which is where id like to be #they look that way bc they have more muscle. most ppl cant maintain a bmi of 14 or less for that long. eventually your body freaks out #ppl use instances like eugenia coonie as proof that you can actually do it but like. most peoples bodies wont hold out that long #and many of the ppl in thinspo pics eother only maintained it for a short bit before gaining or getting really sick or they weighed more #and had more muscle. and like. my goal isnt to be all bone. i dont wanna push it that far. bony people arent physically nice to hold anyway #i just wanna be light enough that somwone cpuld carry me and people might view me in a certain way #i wanna be seen as cute and fragile and shy and like. young and sweet. ots hard to explain exactly what i want peopel see see me like but i #want when people look at pictures or videos of me for them to think i look sweet and wanna be gantle and nice to me #and when i walk around places instead of seeing an awkward weirdo they see a timid cute girl whos really tiny and pretty #i know ill never be that but. maybe if i lose enough weight and dont have much acne and leave my hair down then maybe i can come close

I got flirted with by a cishet man at my parent’s church

#I went to high school with him #and apparently we had a college class together but I don’t remember this #last week he came up and started talking to me out of nowhere #told me he’s trying to join the military and was generally just making awkward convo with me #didn’t think too much of it until today #i walked past him and said ‘how are you’ out of politeness #to which he said ‘good now that I’m talking to you’ #and I sure didn’t register what he said so I said ‘I’m good thanks’ #and walked away #and realized like 4 seconds later what he actually said #accessible

[cantsaythetword]

Aaaaa social situations hard

#he speaks #im in a social NIGHTMARE lmao #its my gf's sisters bday #and this event was described as a “family dinner” #which im like oki cool dinner with gf's mum and two sisters #but them i found out it was not that #it was in fact not only with her mum's new boyfriend #it was being held AT THE BOYFRIENDS PARENTS HOUSE WITH THEM THERE #and just to make matters worse #her mum was running late to the thing so i was like nuh uh we waiting outside til the mum gets here #but apparently her mum called the boyfriends parents to TELL THEM we were outside #and so the parents WALKED DOWN THE STREET TO LOOK FOR US AND BRING US INSIDE WITHOUT ANYONE ELSE THERE #so i had to make awkward conversation with these people IVE NEVER MET #then they arrived #but halfway through food something happened and gfs mum had to go home to get something for the sister #and my gf was staying in the bedroom with her sister #LEAVING ME ONCE AGAIN ALONE WITH THE RANDOM PEOPLE #i am now sitting next to them on the couch on my phone while yheyre watching avatar 2 #i want to leave #but we cant until gfs mum comes back #which could take anywhere from 10 mins to another hour #depending on how long it takes to find the thing #fuck this is awful im stressing so much my anxiety is BAD #not bad enough for it to show on my face or anything #but still internally im SUFFERING

Realized I had more Azalin doodles I never shared so here

#ravenloft #azalin rex #I feel like at this point it's very easy to tell which darklord is probably my favorite huh #also unrelated and not to make vague commentary in the tags of a post that isn't about the thing but #I cannot lie the feeling of walking through the proverbial forest fire only to go 'hey guys look at my memes' is #well it's a something; palpably awkward I would say #but I wanted to post these at least

watching toku

#chiakao #morisawa chiaki #hakaze kaoru #enstars #ensemble stars #fanart #2022 #then adonis walked in and next undead practice was awkward #also my friend made this joke and i was like oooh ik which one u mean and she meant a different one from the one i was thinking #toku is so silly so goofy

[idontdrinkgatorade]

my mom was just trying to tell me that it wasn't acceptable to send digital invitations to a graduation party

#she was like 'in my generation digital invitations send the message that you don't actually care' #and i was like 'okay in MY generation digital invitations imply the event is casual while paper invitations imply it's more formal' #and she was like 'well that's wrong' #girl no it's not #neither are wrong it's just dissonance in cultural beliefs #there's also a difference in delivery #i see texting someone an invitation as a less formal version of mailing it to them #which is non-confrontational #you just send it to them and wait for them to respond #however the way i would have to deliver my friends physical invitations is personally by walking up to them and handing it to them #which is more confrontational #through delivery (whether digital or via mail) the other person is given the opportunity to take some time before responding #which they can use to figure out if they are free or if they feel like going #while in handing an invitation to someone in person forces them to respond to you in some way during the interaction #granted they can say 'oh i'll have to check the calendar later' but that's significantly more awkward than giving a resolute 'yes' or 'no' #anyways she continued to argue about how i was wrong and i'm like literally neither of us are wrong we just have different understandings #but like a typical boomer she has to always be right and she can't bear the thought of a younger generation having a valid cultural view

hiding food gives me so much anxiety

#i was having a good evening until I saw it and was reminded I have to somehow get rid of it without anyone noticing #maybe I can get rid of it on my walk tomorrow but someone might wanna come with me which is awkward #my first plan was to break it up in little bits and scatter in bin so nobody notices but that’s not going to work Devon #aghhhh #tw ana trigger #ana meal #ana🦖ia #tw ana diary #ana bllog #anatumblr #ana rant #ana trigger #btw it’s packaged food im not a minger letting food hang around naked in my room #i would just chuck that down the toilet

[liketheinferno2]

Also list of characters in FFXIV I think have autism:

G'raha

Estinien

Cid

Ryne

#also estinien's social awkwardness walking him half undressed into people's bedrooms constantly vs g'raha comes looking for affection #fucks up and scampers off #chef kiss #let him speak #dante plays catboy simulator #Cid is just the hypercompetent jerkass kind which I find so funny #and Ryne is very Neurodivergent Teen Who Has Been To Therapy

okay this is going to be an insufferable and niche post but the reason I’m so hard on Elyse Meyers is because we have so many similarities and such differences of purpose. Like. for both of us it goes

✔️ brunettes (curly hair)

✔️ interesting, imperfect faces

✔️ infectious laughs (eyes go all crinkly)

✔️ tons of anxiety

✔️ natural storytellers (good with words)

✔️ able to combine charm and vulnerability to awaken empathy

but we’re using those powers for very different reasons and in different ways. Every choice she makes is one I have consciously turned away from because I don’t think they’re valid choices!!!! (More thoughts in the tags)

#not to be like ‘she uses her power for evil!!!!!!!’ But. She uses her power for evil #Like. 1) she hates Taylor but won’t admit it cause elyse is threatened by Taylor #2) she is non-political in the most fake ass bitch little way. like that breathing exercise/hug/phone to the shoulder thing #after the Supreme Court decision re: abortion last June was SO. COWARDLY #she wanted to be part of the moment but she would not pick a side so that she could play both she does this ALL THE TIME #and as someone who also hates to be political but knows that you cannot walk that apolitical line forever without being dishonest #I hate to see it #3) she will not admit that she knows she’s charming but uses her (real!) anxiety as a blind to make her seem more humble #like bitch. BITCH. You can have anxiety and know your own powers and have you SEEN your comment section????? #your success??????? You KNOW you’re successful and you damn well know why #4) her stories lean into the (real!) awkwardness and cringe-ness of life PAST THE POINT OF COMMON SENSE which means that #a) she treats people in an insane way and thinks it’s ‘cute’ and gets away with it #or b) she’s lying #(I think she’s lying) #which. Leads me to 5) #5) she !!! uses!!!! her personality!!!! to make money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she USES her charm #which whatever. fine. Go for it if you can #but don’t LIE about it #and don’t make your (almost convincing!) little videos about how the person you’re talking to is so beloved and necessary #and should quiet the voices in their heads #and pretend that caring about people is the ONLY reason you’re saying this #when guess what. you are RAKING in the cash and the sponsorships #with every candid I just woke up with my messy hair at my kitchen table video #she weaponizes her natural gifts for money but WILL not admit it. will not own it #will not even acknowledge that she KNOWS she’s good at it #that there is IMMENSE power in her likability and ability to make people empathize with her #and she has a responsibility to acknowledge that in some way because power like that has to be checked #and she won’t!!!! #anyway I WILL be so hard on her. partly because I have to fight every day to not try to weaponize my personality to make money #because ….. I kind of think I could!!!!!!!!
