every now and then i’ll visit family and every single time someone and their big fat mouth has to bring up i dont have a boyfriend and now that im not a teenager anymore and especially now that im almost done with university theyre wondering why i dont seem to want one but unfortunately i dont have the kind of family that would understand what an “asexual” or “aromantic” person is so its just constant “when? when? why not?” GODDDDD SHUT UP!!!!! and i can only keep using the “im still in school” excuse for so long its bad, its so bad. is it not enough that i am busy chasing my own career goals and personal dreams? WHY WOULD I WANT TO SHARE THAT WITH A MAN. WHY?! “oh but youre pretty you must have a boyfriend” NO!!! THATS NOT HOW THIS WORKS!!!! any aroace men out there u need a cover hmu its actually so dire. my mom said she wants to introduce me to people oh my god i actually cant think of anything worse that could happen to me

Chewing on him. Why is he so cute???

Genuinely now that I’ve ran around natlan for the whole day I have to give you guys the rundown of why it’s so awful compared to Fontaine in terms of gameplay too. Like apart from the mechanics being so ridiculously persistent in convincing you to pull for characters (I know saurians exist but you cannot tell me the characters are not far better) but also the puzzles aren’t even puzzles. They’re just tasks literally. Like I’m doing chores instead of figuring out something and using my brain it’s so time consuming and pointless and half the time I’m just running back and forth to open gates from one side to go around and get through the other. It’s outrageous. We need FONTAINE BACK .

If work is stressing me out so much that I start looking for other jobs (which I NEVER do bc. Scared™️) that's when I KNOW it's bad lmao

The thing about doing a PhD is that it sounds nice to spend a long time working on a single project so you can do a really good job at it. But then you realize you are starting your 6th year working on the same thing, and you are so fucking done with it actually.

funny how it is now 2024, 7 years have passed since tjlc was shot down by that horrible mess that was season 4, yet this simple fact doesn't seem enough to stop this weird phenomenon from occurring, where the longer you stare at meta the more you believe in tjlc again. you can't let it go it makes too much sense to be fake. you're suddenly waiting for a s5 that confirms it all. it's like some sort of brain tumor that regrows when you poke at it

only way i could ever be into satoru is just as a ruse to get closer to suguru

i'm this fucking close to walking out at work i fuckimg can't do this anymore

[dollypopup]

no but like. . .it really is just so fucking depressing. it's *so* fucking depressing walking into the tags and the archives and seeing post and after post and narrative after narrative of the same damn Pen stan power fantasy of Colin on hands and knees for forgiveness. of how stupid he is. of how we want other people to swoop in for Penelope.

I love this character. That feels like a rarity in this fandom, but fuck it, I do. I love him. I love Colin. I love Colin's recklessness and his silliness and his honor and his hero complex. I love that he doesn't say the right thing and that he's all but howling for someone to hear him. I love how he makes friends with all the unconventional people and I love how he doesn't subscribe to the same narrative as all the other couples. I love him for all he is. For his mess ups and his triumphs.

And forget what the show will have happen, but what is *wrong* with us, that we can't muster up ANY empathy for him at all? Don't you remember being 20 and with no idea what you'll do with your life? Don't you remember being young and aimless and unsure? Are you always perfect with what you say? With knowing when other people are interested in you? Have you never hurt someone's feelings without meaning to? Have you never said something about someone behind their back who means so much to you in a moment of poor judgement?

Don't you deserve tenderness and understanding, too? Why are we so punitive with him? I understand angst, I understand drama, but I don't know how we can be here for any period of time and not hate what we've done to him? Hate what we've done to *them*?

Is anyone listening? Is anyone there?

Do you know? Do you even *understand* how shitty it is? To pour so much love into this couple and see nothing but us hating on him? To have him as a favorite and see people calling him stupid, useless, hoping other people make him feel like shit? Nowhere is safe for us. Even his own SHIP isn't safe for us. It's just wanting him to grovel and be humiliated and jealous and sad. Where's her pride in him? Their support for each other? Where's the encouragement? The tenderness? Why have we taken their love story, that was meant to be about being messy, making mistakes, and being loved regardless, through it all, and turned it into a 'You have to suffer to deserve love' narrative, instead? Into having to be on hands and knees begging for care? Why is it everywhere? Why is there nowhere to go that isn't permeated with it? And why are WE the weirdos for loving him? Why are we the ones who need to suck it up and shut up? Why are we the ones getting bullied by other members of our ship? IT'S HIS SHIP.

What have we turned them into?

Colin is one of the best love leads in the entire series. THE best male love lead. No, I will not change my mind. And yes, I wholeheartedly believe it. Because I LOVE this couple. I love this couple so damn much. And every time I walk into these archives, I feel like some weirdo because everyone is salivating over the same Puritanical 'MAKE HIM SUFFER' shit and there's NOWHERE to go. There is never anywhere to go.

Why don't we love him more? Colin is fantastic. And doesn't Penelope deserve a fantastic partner? Doesn't Colin deserve a partner who strives to understand him?

Is the shape of our ultimate love story really one that's drawn facedown in the dirt?
