#I don’t know the context and I don’t wish to

[buttered-toasty]

This image is endlessly delightful to me. The first instinct is to say, as my friend put it, he has handfuls. But waist is lower down. Tits are a smidge higher up. Celebrimbor you have handfuls mostly of ribcage. Also he is yapping as if this is a normal part of conversation. Annatar looks like the colony rats in his lab just developed new, never before seen behaviors. If I walked into a room and saw this I would audibly say “that’s enough of this room for today” and turn around and walk back out. Clearly I am interrupting something, though what that something is is anyone’s guess.

Also there is obviously something queer going on here but it doesn’t even matter. We have transcended the use of queer in reference to sexuality and gone back to its original meaning. They are so fucking strange.

Goes without saying this image has boundless template potential and I WILL be doing this to my OCs

Yeah… I’m so glad I took an intro linguistics class in college, because that was the first time an educator told me that prescriptivism is actually bullshit. And I WISH I had that elation and validation and sense of freedom and whimsy back in middle school. If a teacher tried to lecture me about the purpose of “Standard Usage” I would have just gotten even more mad about the whole thing, personally.

It is true that in different contexts different ways of speaking will be perceived differently (duh) but adapting to that is just code switching, and it can’t be swung as “learning the rules so you can break them.” Language literally doesn’t work that way!! It’s closer to the reverse. Making new rules to replace what you don’t know or what doesn’t work for you.

is it bad i wish people would give examples of how dream is “manipulative”?? because the examples I am seeing right now are just him over explaining himself

tw/ drama, sa mention

i can give you one example but you have to bear with me here, it’s kind of hard to explain through text and i can’t give full context because it would drag other people into it and i don’t want to be messy.

edit: i added a division here bc i don’t want to see all that when scrolling through my blog lol

the following screenshots are taken from a conversation we had in july 2023, where he messaged me after 7 months of no contact and basically tried to make me apologize to him after he ghosted me. i have since blocked him and deleted his number (i had to dig through my friends’ group chat to find these screenshots). the conversation was extremely long and if i wanted to dissect it fully i’d have to make an hour long video on it and and tbh, i don’t care that much so this is what we’re working with.

for at least some context: the “she” being referenced is a former mutual friend who informed me that he had a gf the whole time we were talking (i have since learned that might not have been true but with him who tf knows). The name blocked out is her boyfriend, who is his friend. and the block of text covered is just him yapping and name dropping too many people. also i guess to give him some grace, he had just gotten surgery and told me he was high off pain meds, which is why he was messaging me.

here we go

“your memory is wrong”

this is referencing the day i was told he had a girlfriend. that day, the girl and i went to get our nails done and during that time, she informed me of the situation. as you can see in the message, i had texted him saying that we had those plans that day. he never replied to it. like seriously, that was the last message i ever sent him before blocking him a few weeks later. so, in this context, him saying my “memory is wrong” is textbook gaslighting.

“i swiped to look at to give you the chance to bump it, which you never did.”

now… huh?????? tbh i’m still confused about this bc he’s basically admitting that he didn’t reply to my message after saying that he didn’t ignore me. so, contradicting himself there and making it seem like it was my fault that he didn’t respond.

“you can unblock me on snap”

as we know, he has a history of having conversations with girls and other people exclusively through snapchat in order for him to say whatever he wants because the messages disappear. i guess he had a point there bc here we are. you could see this in his favor, but i see it as a way for him to avoid any accountability whatsoever for the shit he says. he was trying to move the conversation over to snapchat, i guess to avoid exactly what is happening now: evidence of him being a slimy little shit.

“I was the only one actively trying to keep you in the friend group despite even backlash from others for it”

now this one just pissed me off at the time. after getting out of an abusive relationship (which all of our friends knew about btw) everyone continued to hang out with my ex instead of me because: a) clout and b) they had been friends with him longer. here, he tried to make it seem like he was doing me this huge favor by still talking to me and “keeping me in the group” (which he didn’t btw). now, at this point he already knew about my sa, he knew about all the shit that happened in the relationship, and he still wanted me to be in a friend group with the man who put me through all of that, his other friends, who made super weird sexual comments about me on multiple occasions, and other people who enabled all that shit. then, he tried to make it seem like he was doing me a favor. insane and manipulative.

i hope this helped, anon. i kinda had to relive some shit in order to provide this for you but i think it’s the only example i could give from my situation in which he was being manipulative. i think these are pretty good examples and i hope it wasn’t too confusing without all the context.

Hey, for the record, I’m not a Dream supporter, and I don’t agree with him, but I respect you a lot as a person for what you’re doing and I wish you the best. Thanks for keeping a level head, you know? It’s really mature of you and I don’t see a lot of people willing to bridge the gap between “I agree with this” vs. “I agree with this” without throwing around insults haha

Oh that's completely fair. But can I be honest with you now that I blocked the anon that sent me hate asks? I was crying while typing that. I'm not keeping a level head at all

The name of the game wasn't even to try to bridge the gap between Dream and clingyduo fans, it was just "ask me about something said on the original stream and I will give you context of what happen in the stream"

You guys (from both sides) were the ones who managed to start having calmer discussions. And that's crazy because I can't think of two sets of fans more aggressive to each other. What's next, Quackity stans will come over for a sleep over? /lhj

[spaghetticat3899]

When you absolutely despise something a lot of people like, and no matter what way you look at it you cannot see the appeal, but you know you can’t talk about it in public or else you’ll get dogpiled to hell and back, so you just kinda sit there frothing at the mouth like this

Angeal was having a good night’s sleep. He’d even gone to bed early. Then his phone buzzed itself off the nightstand, and the charging cord knocked the glass of water off his bedside table and made a loud crash. Then he lay facedown on his pillow for several minutes trying to ignore the buzzing. Then, finally, reconsidering all of his life decisions and choices in friends, he checks his phone.

Zack (10:19pm): heyyy geal! :D I prooomise I’ll do thst paperwork right afte r I finish this level i pinky promyy

Genesis (11:37pm): Angeal my dear, have I told you about my theory on Act III of Loveless?

Genesis (11:38pm): I know you want to hear it again ;) <3

Genesis (11:49pm): The altercation is, of course, between the hero left behind and the one who flies away. Although we are given little context, we can assume from the line “to a world that abhors you and I” that these two friends are viewed as outcasts in their society (Loveless 3.2). Since the other is captured, they likely all are. How strange then, that one of them is still called a hero—a timeless commentary on the fickle public opinion, is it not?

Sephiroth (12:01 am): You instructed me to message you when I returned to my apartment. I have done so.

Zack (12:05am): RHHAHSH TAKE THAT beat the game!!!! You better be proud of me geal I did it for you XD

Zack (12:05am): okeyyy staring on the paprwork noww itll ve done soon

Zack (12:06am): and i wont use crayon this time like u said

Genesis (12:07am): But I digress. From the next two lines, we gather that the hero who flies away does so out of a sense of hopelessness—he believes that “all that awaits [him] is a somber morrow,” and the other friend fails to convince him otherwise (Loveless 3.3-4). Is he correct, do you think? Everyone has their own opinions on that, it’s been brought back again recently as a renewed topic of debate. I’m sure you have far more taste than most of them.

Zack (12:15am): why do u thinj rhey call it a fridge

Zack (12:15am): like where do they get that nane form

Zack (12:16am): *from

Genesis (12:17am): That was not a rhetorical question, Angeal. I demand your opinion on this. I’m going to go open that bottle of Dumbapple cider you love so much without you while you consider how wrong it is of you to abandon me so. >:(

Zack (12:52am): geal can u put energyy drinks in the microweave

Zack (12:54am): mean microwave haha tho microweave is so cooool bdhrgdhhd its like some kind of magic version

Zack (1:00am): do u think a magic microwave could br ing chicken back frm the dead

Zack (1:03am): i wonder what would happen if u put noddles in a necromancer microwave

Zack (1:04am): like wht would get brought back from the deaf??? what do noodle s come form

Zack (1:05am): in just gonna try it

Genesis (1:07am): No Angeal it wasn’t me who set the fire alarm off this time. So don’t even think about blaming me baselessly again. And stop ignoring me.

Sephiroth (1:08am): How to tell if loud beeping noise is real or if you’re still having auditory hallucinations please.

Zack (1:29am): okayyy so that didnt work but its fine kinsel put it out

Zack (1:39am): pleeeeease can I live gealll?? Im sorry leaneed my lesson 🥺🥺🥺 i promise

Genesis (2:00am): And now Sephiroth isn’t answering his door either. You both are tasteless fools and it serves you both right that there will be NO alcohol left for either of you 😤

Zack (2:25am): okayy i did the whole eorkout routine w extra sqats will u forguv me now pls :(

Sephiroth (2:36am): Angeal, I believe Genesis wants you to answer your texts. He is banging on my walls and yelling loudly. I believe he is intoxicated.

Genesis (3:04am): ANGEEEE love of my lifeeee <3 did u know that I love you??? :3 ;) <3

Zack (3:07am): y arnet you respondijg i dojt like the silent treatment :((((

Genesis (3:07am): How I miss our days running carelessly through the orchards! How simpler it all was then. How I wish dear Seph could have been there with us, the poor thing deserved better. He deserved to know you when you were more fun.

Zack (3:12am): oh shit i fifnt realise whut tim it was sry ur probably slep

Genesis (3:15am): we were happier then. Despite everything, we had each other. But then the world had to turn against us, and now it’s always separate deployments this, we can’t have all the Firsts on the same mission that. Perhaps it was we who flew into a somber morrow already.

Zack (3:15am): okkk im doj ng the reports now i pronise itll be done by the time you wake up

Sephiroth (3:22am): How to remove bloodstains from carpet quickly.

Genesis (3:46am): do you hate me geal? Is that it? Have you flown away and left me behind?

Genesis (3:50am): how long? How long have I not been enough for you? Did you ever love me?

Sephiroth (3:56am): Disregard previous messages. I mistakenly thought this was a search engine.

Angeal’s phone shatters quite easily. There, that should hold off the barrage for a few hours at least—enough to finish his interrupted well-deserved rest. He nestled back down beneath the blankets.

And then shot right back up again. WHAT had Sephiroth said?! Blood??? Hallucinations??? Oh goddess preserve him not again. He was not getting that good night’s sleep after all.

If Sephiroth has Genesis' phone number it means that he also has Angeal's number. And we know that he canonically has Zack's number too. Zack definitely had Angeal's number, but probably not Sephiroth's number and DEFINITELY not Genesis' number. Genesis probably had Sephiroth and Angeal's numbers.

YOUR SAT QUESTION IS WHO DRUNK-TEXTS AT 4 AM AND WHO SNAPS THEIR PHONE IN HALF TO AVOID THE BARRAGE.

had some thoughts regarding the bastardization of Porky’s legacy in recent decades and thought they were perhaps interesting enough to relay here

Original Fiction

Fictober Day 13 - “that’s not the point”, a vague bittersweet angsty kinda fic about my beloved Willow and Pyg

[icterid-rubus]

I’ve got a bizarre and predictable cycle of making friends getting very excited about hanging out and seeing them a lot and then becoming terrified and tired of hanging out and it’s annoying
