Am I the asshole for getting my best friend killed?

I swear to God, it was an accident.

My (27) BF (34) has a reputation for getting himself out of any jam you can imagine; and at first it was just a fun little thing the friend group noticed: there goes Oily J wiggling his way out of trouble again. but as the meme evolved in the group, it got to the point where we'd loykey started getting him into situations just to see how he'd get out of 'em, and he akept getting out of em. He was having fun with it too same as us. "Oh you guys," he'd say, "getting me into situations again," before laughing it off and getting out of it, so it was enrichment for our shared enclosures, and as time went on, the situations got more intense.

The trouble is, it turns out that putting a man in too many situations eventually gets the police interested. And not local hobsknockers cops either; they was like, proper three-letter FEDs. They put out a bounty on any information pertaining to his capture and everything. It was good money too so I thought, hey why don't I put J in another situation he can wiggle out of like always (and he'd wiggled outta worse before, so I thought this one'd be relatively mild), and at the next boardgame night (cause it was too late to do anything special for this one) we can buy some extra strong booze and get absolutely blitzed while having a giggle about the situation.

Boardgame night, and we were playing some social deduction nonsense or another and he says: "One of you is gonna betray me tonight." and I can't help but think, looking back on it, that he knew. It's stupid, I know he was talking about the game, but the way he said it, it was like he knew. We all felt it, and we had a big round robin round the table taking turns promising that we'd never betray him. And I said it so easily cause I thought it was true. Sure, I was gonna talk to the feds about a bounty; but, I fully expected my big beautiful oily boy to wiggle his way out of the trouble I was 'bout to cause, and that's not a betrayal. I wasn't lying. I didn't think I was lying.

My big beautiful oily boy didn't manage to wiggle his way out of it. They killed him and I got my blood money. He's gone.

He's gone and I'm devastated, crying, mourning. I loved him so much. We all did. And I can't stop thinking that it's my fault: that I'm the reason he's gone. and it is. and the guilt is eating me up inside. and I just need to talk to someone about it. So, I tell the rest of the group what happened in the group chat, hoping they'd understand that I didn't want this. I didn't want the government's blood money. It was supposed the be a prank. some joint enclosure enrichment. He was supposed to wiggle out of it like he always does... did, i mean.

They call me, among worse things, the asshole and kick me from the group chat. And, I know it's my fault he's dead: I know that. If I didn't do what I did, he wouldn't be dead right now. But, I didn't mean it for it to end up this way. He was supposed to be okay, damn it. I loved him. AITA?

What are these acronyms?

the thing is the existence of the widower arc necessitated a conclusion in which castiel is rescued because previous experience suggests dean would not want to live without cas. that was already demonstrated onscreen?????????

All I want is for Shiggy to just try to provoke Izuku by saying something like “your little boyfriend might have defeated AFO, but you won’t defeat me.” (Izuku doesn’t even have to respond. I’d still be happy.)

If we don’t get explicitly clear bkdk, i at least hope for heavily implied/ambiguous things. I might start a series of snips or something cause i have these inklings far too often.

who ever said autotranslation would make us dumb, didn't consider how i now, whenever i visit a non-german website / read an instruction manual or similar, have to translate the "german" text back into english in my head while reading, and as literally as possible, browse through possible synonyms in my head for every word or expression, find a fitting one and by that method try to adivinate what the text is trying to tell me

I MAY just be looking too deep into this but I THINK we actually got to see one of Amelia's concept designs in ONE 10.

[pseudophan]

alright im done fucking around how do i, an unemployed loser with no degree, get back into the uk......

i would literally just go to study because although i'm not a fan of the concept i think i could at least do it now that i've got meds, but there is just. nothing for me to study lmao. i'm just not interested in things... i want to get back into video editing and oh my god if there was an option to JUST do post production as an undergrad i would jump on that immediately, but i really cannot be bothered to do yet another THREE YEARS of film production (after already doing two years of media at college and another year and a half of film and tv production at uni) just to be able to do a post-prod masters like oh my god
