Can you imagine the dynamic Venus could have had with Casey
#tmnt#tmnt tnm#because listen she is close with Raph who's normally besties with Casey#and she and Donnie roast each other which is often the dynamic Donatellos have. With Caseys#and like if he had 03 Casey's backstory Venus would like. idk how to explain but like#they would pick on each other so much and learn from each other so much#i think mostly initially they'd kind kf avoid each other just because they're so different#but they're also both very loyal so having mutual friends would mean they matter very much to each other#in the letters Venus is April and Casey's go to babysitter but seems to mostly be friends woth April#which I think makes sense because again she and Casey are very different#but I think once they become friends / once in a while when they find themselves hanging out because of April and the guys#they could have a lot of fun together#also just a fun group dynamic like#Raph and Casey doing their thing. Venus thinks it's dumb. Casey gets defensive#Raph immediately takes Venus's side. sorry Casey that's his sister#Donnie Venus and Casey on the other hand. it's a bloodbath and everyone for themselves (with much fondness between them)#that's enough tags yellow

besides itachi what other naruto characters do you like?
do you dislike any ones?
Mmm. I like many characters, I'd say, but to varying degrees, and not always do they bring me as much joy in canon as they do in fanon.
I've been into Naruto since I was 12, and my interest in the series has gone up and down over time. Back then, I don't think I gave much of a shit about Itachi at all and instead, my favorite character was Obito. Oh, how the turns have tabled. I also liked Gaara a lot early on, but that period was fairly brief.
Currently, my biggest favorites are Itachi and Sasuke. I'd vote in Shisui as well, but unfortunately, I think many of my opinions are shaped primarily by fanfiction 😭 Which brings me to my next point...
It's a joke at this point, but sometimes the fanfiction - not even by altering a character's characterization but by diving deeper into their existing psychology and expanding upon its human aspects - does a better job at portraying a character, leading the fandom to develop a new commonly accepted lore which is referred to as "fanon". This is how I often end up enjoying characters like Madara, Izuna, and Tobirama as well even though their canon characterization might not speak to me personally (because nothing goes over a tsundere adopting children /hj). Fugaku is on the list as well-ish. He is the one that I got attached to IN SPITE of fanfiction telling me otherwise. My entire issue is that I am no longer certain whether the personality I have in my head for Fugaku is actually canon or just... made-up (he barely has any screen time, why is my interpretation of him so complex?).
There are also a lot of characters that I like a moderate amount. That list includes Kakashi, Tsunade, and Choji. And if we include Boruto characters, I do enjoy Sarada and Mitsuki as well. It simply just isn't enough for me to become very attached to or even just seek out fanfic that portrays them as more complex or more compelling characters. A good fanfic could probably change my perception of them but that's just where I am currently at.
As far as characters I hate go... I do dislike Jiraiya. His "quirks" don't translate well for me personally. That's a me-problem, though, and I understand and support anybody who likes him regardless. I also have beef with Hiruzen, though I have to admit it is mostly a show-vs-tell conflict in which the show pretends he isn't that bad when actually he is and I am not sure whether to prioritize the show or tell version.
Then there are characters I hate and that list includes Danzo and the two elders. Go to super-hell 😊
Regardless of any of this, I do not support harassing anybody over liking or disliking a character (though I don't mind venting). Like and dislike do not necessarily need a justification. They just are and why should we waste our energy on fictional characters of all things? Fandom activism? Too often are favorite ships and characters used to establish group dynamics of fans shitting on other fans.
It's a different story if said people are harassing other fans, publically insulting them, or making shit up. Still not worthy of harassment but definitely deserving of a call-out as, if not regulated, hatred just breeds more hatred and eventual transgressions. I am sure all of us had someone popping up on our blog before only to tell us how stupid we are (not even discussing but just immediately insulting us) for liking something.
#fandom group-dynamics are of course more complex than just haters vs fans#like when to expose a hater's hypocrisy you end up hating on their personal favorite#it doesn't fuck up the conversation rarely though because you slowly start to associate defense of your favorite with hate for others#and then the cycle continues#back to fav characters. obito was such a wonderfully problematic character#in case nobody knew yet i pick my favorites according to who is the most fun to bully#also posting this one ahead of the other asks but this time because there is not research involved#naruto#naruto miscellaneous#naruto ask#ask#anon#anon ask

ok. hear me out. bear with me. ive been struck with an idea for a kny au in which basically genya and kanao become main characters.
keeping in line with the whole "5 senses" theme, genya would have a heightened sense of taste and kanao would have good eyesight. :)
#rambles#demon slayer#kimetsu no yaiba#kny au#demon slayer au#genya shinazugawa#kanao tsuyuri#INCREDIBLY SELF INDULGENT AU AAHHH LIKE#IVE THOUGHT ABOUT THE 5 SENSES THING BEFORE. AND IK THE STORY WOULD PROBABLY WORK JUST FINE WITHOUT A BUNCH OF MAIN CHARACTWRS#BUT I LIKE BIG GROUP DYNAMICS!!!!#AND ALSO we did not get enough of these fharacters. tbh. they are so cool.i wanna see them#also i imagine genyas sense of taste would b something like “he can tell a lot about something/someone just by taste alone”#aka im just imagining him fucking biting people#like he wouldnt. but he would (?) idk it's funny#hed probably like. know exactly what ingredients werw in soething he ate idk#if you ever meed to steal a secret recipe from a rivalling business then hes your guy#and then kanao could see things from very far away + shed probably have god like aim & accuracy#THAT JUSY MAKES ME IMAGINE KANAO WOTH GENYAS FUCKIGN GUN#tanjiro + nezuko + zenitsu + inosuke + genya + kanao is such a fun friendgroup. i like to imagine them going on missions together#i also have the vivid idea in my mind of genya and kanao being stuck on a mission together and#neither of them say a single word to each other. because Kanao doesnt talk much and Genya is very awkward around girls#especially if it is somebody he doesnt know#the idea of them fighting a demon together; never saying a word to each other but eventually getting along maybe?#fighting in sync? learning 2 fight with each other??? idk i like the idea of a silent mission#hold on. thats cool. storing that in my brain#the dynamic is also pretty funny bc kanao is way better at fighting than genya. this poor guy#ALSO NOT TO MENTION THE TASTE AND EYESIGHT THING GOES ALONG WITH THEIR CANON ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS AS WELL!!!

i have this silly little idea of these two (+ a couple others) going on some sort of dnd-style fantasy adventure together and they have THE funniest fucking dynamic ever. god they hate each other. orpheus has two goals in life and that's to take care of memory and make frederick's life absolutely miserable and i'm just constantly imagining silly scenarios with them it's so fun
#void and i talked abt it a while back but bc emil also has a fantasy merch design#we thought of him being part of the party and orpheus just. constantly implying he knows shit abt frederick and emil#like orpheus is the epitome of that one image of the homophobic dog just staring going “i know what you are”#i just think. just once. while they're sitting by the fire. he needs to look at frederick and go#“must be hard not having a room to yourselves for once hm”#and i need frederick to just stare and seethe#the group currently is frederick orpheus emil ada and memory#but i may add another character or two#just to maybe balance out the team / get some more fun dynamics#i'd include norton but i don't like his fantasy design very much </3#like it's alright don't get me wrong just doesn't fit the setting imo#ANYWAY#rambling#idv#identity v#idv orpheus#idv novelist#frederick kreiburg#idv composer

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.
Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.
#BECAUSE I knew I really liked filming and editing things and doing set design and costume design (from having done little bits of that#here and there in media classes and my own stuff - i used to be a lot more into making videos than I am now). BUT I was always thinking#that a movie is WAAY to big and long. even a short film. So I was trying to think of ways I could still like#have the fun of scouting locations to film and dressing up actors and etc. etc. without it having to be a Huge Million Dollar Production#on tv show or movie level. SO then I was thinking about like... just doing commercials. Or music videos. Like shorter things where I still#get the fun of the filming and everything but it's less of an intensive long term project.#So there is an alternate version of me (I suppose if i somehow did not end up having physical and mental health issues#as badly somehow.. or like.. randomly came into wealth and was able to pay my way through a nice college despite missing#days constantly being out because I'm sick or something lol) that works in some corporate advertising office coming up with commercials#and directing or filming them or doing the sets for them or something in that general vicinity.#I also was considering being a corporate psychologist. or whatever its called.. oh from google:#''Industrial and organizational (I/O) psychologists study and assess individual group and organization dynamics in the workplace''#I don't think I even knew what the job entailed. I was at the time just thinking like.. the type of person that comes into a business offic#and gives everyone personality assessments or does MBTI or big-5 testing crap for whatever reason that some businesses get that#done for people. Really i just wanted to be in a Corporate Big Office setting yet still do psychology. Because I used to be really fixated#on living in a big city. Like the ideas of everything being walkable. picking up a coffee in the morning. walking to my job in a Big#Skyscraper Building. people watching in a huge hotel lobby for lunch. flying frequently (I love airplanes and airports aesthetically).#living in an apartment with a giant window overlooking the city. etc. etc. BUT that was before i had really BEEN to a city. Then I actually#hung around a city a few times and went places and I was like... AUGh... The Sensory Overwhelm.. cars people lights loudness noise scary#everything happening all at once. etc. etc. (though even when I wanted to live in a city i NEVER strove for the Night Life. when i say I#enjoy city imagery I mean like... in the day time. Many people who like cities talk about The Night Life and post pictures of cities all#lit up at night and clubs and dancing and restaurants. none of that EVER appealed to me. perhaps a sign I am not a real city person. Like#I am NOT standing in a crowded bar full of loud people in the middle of the night lol.. get AWAY from me!!) but I do adore the#architecture of like bright white clean sterile modern spaces like huge airport lobbies or malls or etc. I think thats what reminded me of#city and what I liked about the idea of that life. Like I always LOVED the layout of schools and hospitals and trainstations and public#transport in general. Though even then I knew enough that I would not be a good architect/city planner. so I guess my adoration for those#spaces was merely to be channeled into LIVING there. but then I realized I didn't even really want to do that that much. I mean I still#definitely aim to live NEAR a city. like the little areas outside of it. I would never live in a rural place 4 hours from anything. I liter#ally just COULDNT since I need close access to hospitals sometimes lol. But I used to want to live in the CENTER of citites like high rise#condo. and now I'm like.... eh....... perhaps a smaller quieter walkable space nearby lol.. ANYWAY.. alternate me in my Business Suit eheh

Rewatching Clone Wars and Rebels and I just gotta say it. Star Wars peaked with those shows. I love them so much
#the clone wars was so unique cuz it was focused on main characters#but it also had 4 episode arcs with different characters#like you weren’t always with the same characters#and the character arcs were SO good man#and it wasn’t scared to touch on the horrors of war and the complications of politics#and it individualized the clones in such a wonderful ways#and traumatized me so much with the amount of on screen deaths#10/10 show I love it so much#and then Rebels only really focuses on the small group of characters#but my gosh the dynamics are just so fun#idk what happened but the soul got sucked out of Star Wars#I will forever be a Disney Star Wars hater#idk if rebels is Disney Star Wars#but I suppose it was at a time when Disney was making actual good stuff#regardless the modern Star Wars is awful#I watched the first two episodes of Ahsoka and I’m not impressed#I’m going in with high standards cuz the low standards are giving people too much credit#but yeah#that show def should’ve been animated man#these live action actors can’t show an ounce of emotion#like ever#what is wrong with these people#sorry I need to calm down I’m so salty about what happened to Star Wars lol#anyways clone wars and rebels are amazing#they have their flaws but they’re so good in their own ways with delightful characters#smiles rambles

now that i've completed all the character episodes and fought with or against all characters i can finally make a tier list with my opinion on everyone ✌
#m#tekken#i like alisa more than leo asuka and xiaoyu but i think all four + lili have a great relationship dynamic#like they could all be a group of besties who do sleepovers and kick ass togetherand get into adventures!! but alas bandai namco hates fun#katarina is SO hot but i need her personality to be shown a little bit more for her to become a fav of mine#i like miguel and bob mostly bcs of the online tekken comic but once again im asking for more content of them#also i think their opposite personalities match very well and they could be good frienemies#imagine that miguel wants to beat people up for no reason but bob keeps stopping him and he's just extra angry all the time#also. miguel showing bob spanish food. eating paella together........ bandai namco PLEASE put them together more often#i dont even need to defend that heihachi and lee are the funniest characters in the franchise you know im right#i hated lucky chloe bcs she looked like weeb bait but then i saw her episode...... genuinely super funny that she's secretly an asshole#AND extra funny that Eddy has to deal with her in t7. honestly i'd love to see eddy work for her and try he kawaii lifestyle#all the while lucky chloe is mega rude and bad mouthed in the behind the scenes#also they could have older bro and younger sis energy... or the reverse bcs we dont know how old is she. actually she should be older#wouldnt it be hilarious if she was like 35 or something#i like the characters in the orange tier mostly because of their designs#julia and lidia are both very cute! and master raven very hot#claudio kazumi leroy and hwoarang have cool designs and marshal law and the kings have funny backstories#i like kazuya when there are family shenanigans otherwise i dont care much about him#the williams' designs are very boring but i like how much they despise each other#the bears are funny too#everyone else.......... i legit dont care

damien and linebeck have the minor dynamic of damien being a guy who’s pretty well built and has a healthy bit of fat on him and linebeck having the prestigious title of ‘boniest man on the great sea’
#salty talks#damibeck#damien fletcher#linebeck#sure! i need to stop worrying abt putting my oc x canon and other post ph atuff in main tags#anyways. its a fun dynamic in the sense that linebeck generally isnt tooooo interested in sex and doesnt typically get a lot out of it#at least not really touchy feely ‘normal’ sex while damien has more of a sex drive and gets more enjoyment out of it. he likes the bones#but he also has the occasional thought of man it feels like im fucking a redead. anyways. this is important for post ph#cuz like. hes bony partically bc hes iust like thst but primarily bc hes underweight n has food problems. so thats smth they work on w him#so damien’s perspective as smth who enjoys being physical abt linebeck and pays attention to the shape and feeling of his body#is an intimate metric of. through damien holding him by the end of post ph its known that hes at a little bit of a healthier weight#linebeck likes being skinny and generally will stay in that area through how he lives and his preferences genetics and stuff#its just like. hey man. you are skin and bones rn. goal is. healthy weight. and damien holding him is the periodic measurement. yeah?#this is partially why i typically hc him as bein gaunt to the point of emaciated i can have this development n its tied to my hc backstory#the other reason is bc bony guys make me feel like a rabid dog#when my mom and i rewatched arcane a few months back she asked why viktor is my favorite character#and i had to take a minute and come up with an answer that wasnt i feel feral when i can see a man’s ribcage#but anyways under the overarching plot and minor arcs post ph is very much recovery as its personal plot#its a bit inspired by berserk in that way (not explaining itd take a whole but iykyk) so its. linebecks condition is important#his is the most important bc he needs the most work done and hes the most in need of the support group the crew makes up#yeah. anyways linebeck is bony as fuck and damien kinda has a thing for it tho linebecks tailbone is a fucking DAGGER so thats smth for him#slightly similar is body hair comparison- damien doesnt have much the T let him down hes got a lil but not much in post ph#while linebeck is generally pretty hairy and damien also likes that. he sleeps with him like mmmm chest hair and then Bones. im losing it

watched the first two episodes of oshi no ko a while back (REALLY FUCKING GOOD, ive been a manga reader for a while but i stopped reading the recent chapters and basically forgot everything except for the major points and god it’s so satisfying to have the adaptation remind me of what i’ve forgotten in the most beautiful way possible)
but this post isnt about onk, it’s about izaya!! izaya orihara!! lets fucking goooooooooo izaya idol au!!!! i cant get this flea out of my BRAIN
i was about to open a new canvas to draw some more shizaya stuff for my animatic that im never gonna finish and i was like huh. maybe i should draw onk fanart. and then i remembered this art of venti genshin impact with ai’s eyes and i remembered thinking man i hope this becomes an artist trend for people to do with their art blorbos! and then i was like OH. guess i could contribute to the trend by drawing izaya with ai’s eyes
and then i started thinking and i was like huh. Ai’s never experienced love from her parents, doesn’t think she knows how to love or how to express it, doesn’t get attached to others easily, is a perpetual liar, became an idol because she hoped she would learn how to love - oh hey doesnt. that. sound like izaya. just a little bit. not exactly, her character goes into more learning how to love/that she can love while izaya’s character is i can love but only impersonally because i’m afraid of getting hurt and his arc would be learning to let his walls down for his own good
SO for izaya idol au, izaya would become an idol because he wants to experience love, or something along the lines of “there’s no greater demonstration of parasocial love and foolish decision making than in the idol industry! ahaha~” and probably “idols are perfect liars and i need to put myself into their shoes so i can become an even better liar and close myself off to any possibility of falling in love that could ever exist”
there’s a lot of reasons he might want to become an idol, really. there’s so much corruption and behind-the-scenes dealing and lies and facades and shit in the entertainment industry that i think izaya would eat for breakfast. he would LOVE witnessing that shit and making his own shady deals and stuff and occasionally ruining lives and watching people rise and fall down the rankings and tear each other down. plus the people who are in it for passion rather than money are fascinating as well. psychology student’s dream really- i mean what this is definitely about izaya and not me projecting
plus he definitely has the looks for it (narita would hard agree given how many times he’s indirectly called izaya attractive through other characters. we love a canonically hot king)
now i need to make everything shizaya because i’m not okay but i have no idea who shizuo would be lmao
like you could make him some up and coming manager (no age difference stuff here sorry lmao) or a fellow idol (doubtful. shizuo can act cute but i dont think he could dance) or an actor like akane/kana or a streamer??? like memcho (my favorite character)
a mangaka/screenplay writer/writer in general could also work but i feel like you’d have less reason to interact with idols that way
idk how japanese idol groups work for men in particular or if there’s even like a market for that :sob: id have to look into that if i actually started making stuff for this au
alternatively izaya crossdresses as a female idol and somehow no one realizes. except for shizuo. that would be hilarious actually. he refuses to do swimsuit modeling or other provocative stuff and his fans are like “oh?? the brazen kanra-chan is unexpectedly shy?? how cute” and he plays into it but inwardly he’s like. god i know exactly how im gonna go out with a bang when i retire. and shizuo watches him playing at being shy on tv knowing that that motherfucker is planning to strip on his last days as an idol
anyway this is just me spitballing ideas but ill definitely write at least a concept/intro fanfic of this at some point so stay tuned lmAo im just about to run out of writing juices on ABAON so i gotta transfer my energy somewhere else and where better than the idol!izaya au
#shizaya#idolzaya#ill be using that tag for whatever idol au stuff i come up with#i drafted this like. five days after the onk anime came out#this has been drafted for way longer than i wanted it to be#this was also sorta inspired by the idol!kim dokja au fic that’s really popular#i think the male idol industry is way stronger in korea than japan thiugh#that said i dont interact with idols at all personally lmAOO so i have no idea#i will do research later i promise#and read more of more more jump!’s stories for inspiration PFF#i wonder if izaya’s group should be a bunch of drrr girls or like. mostly irrelevant side characters#or if he should just go solo which again. i need to research how hard that would be#i feel like he might want to blend in a bit inside a group#would be fun to observe the jealousy and drama and group dynamics up close too#because if they get jealous of HIM at any point he might just laugh until he dies#i have more ideas but i should save those for the fanfic….#anyway#izaya orihara#shizuo heiwajima#durarara#im excited for this one bro oshi no ko is one of my favorite series ever#but like. not for the romance just because i really like learning about the entertainment industry LMAOO#i dont ship aqua with anyone tbh#can he just be besties with everyone pls#i loved his and kana’s relationship in the beginning where they’re like two good actors in a room full of mids#that was a fun dynamic but it just went downhill for me personally#oh well i can talk about this in my author’s notes pff

is there anyone in the group they treat as the younger sibling? for both the winx and specialists?
oh cute!!
For the winx,,, I feel like it's Bloom! I kind of wanted to say they could all fit that role but honestly I don't think that's true most of the time. It's obvious that they all care for each other and that if one of them needed more care and attention they would get it, but I think the majority of the time, it's Bloom. At first, it's because she's just so new to everything and they actually need to watch over her a bit more. Later on I do think this gets lessened a bit but Bloom herself isn't against getting a little babied and I think characters like Stella and Flora genuinely like to do it.
At the same time though! I feel like it also kind of depends on the character? Like Stella definitely babies Bloom a bit meanwhile Bloom tends to baby Flora more while Flora often watches over Musa! You know what I mean? While Bloom def fits that "younger sibling" role a lot, I feel like everyone has that One person that they baby more than the others. Honestly, all of the winx baby each other it's just in their blood they're so in love and so fond of each other like
For the specialists... this feels harder since I honestly don't think it's any of them. They all have complexes about that kind of thing and they usually end up feeling worse when it happens so I really don't think any of them would get treated like a younger sibling Most Of The Time.
But... if I really had to choose, I'd say Timmy! It's ironic since I also called him the mom of the group but out of all of them, I think the younger sibling role genuinely fits him the most. Timmy tends to get upset quicker and take more things to heart so the guys are often more careful around him. They're also a lot quicker to defend him and reassure him compared to some of the others. You can also see this dynamic in their cuter moments - like Brandon teasing Timmy or Riven trying his hardest to offer advice/comfort.
But again, this never goes too far since Timmy also has a complex about getting treated like he's lesser or just Not Equal. And obviously that "younger sibling" role isn't an inherently negative one (it's usually very cute and heartwarming) but the specialists are often more likely to see it as a negative. They really do prefer treating each other as equals and not letting anyone fall into a younger sibling/baby of the group kind of position since that usually makes them feel underappreciated and not respected.
#the difference between their groups is so fascinating to me...#like i Get why people say that the specialists aren't as close as the wi.nx#like for a good chunk of the early seasons they aren't#but i feel like that statement also ignores how close they are?#i only ever see it when people criticize them or give reasons for why they dont like them yknow?#but the guys are close! they would die for each other kill for each other etcetc#and i feel like people sometimes forget or ignore how much they do respect each other and try to keep the peace#obviously they gets into arguments and stuff but theyre also chill most of the time#like their dynamic gets so much better after s1 and you can tell they genuinely enjoy each other's presence!#and they try so hard to keep everyone happy and safe and like !! bro !!#sky's line in s4 about never expecting one of them to die is sooo fun to me because yes you could say thats just his naivety#but i just think about these young guys who go through hell together and always make it out smiling and its like...#bro...#just.. Learning to expect everyone to be okay and make it out and then one of you does die and its like...#anyway the winx will always have a more special relationship to me but the specialists bond gets done dirty imo#obvs the show doesn't show it well cause its not about them but THE SUBTEXT#answered

self isolation as a form of self preservation is going to end up killing me someday
#im already a fucking adult if i dont do something about this shit im gonna be lonely as hell#i just wish i had made friends at college like everyone else#instead of the poor choices of friends i made when i got in for the wrong ideas i had about the type of person i wanted to be#i simply ended up with no friends at the worst place to make friends#imagine me having 8 different classes each semester. each class had about 60 different students#each subject had at least 4 different teachers teaching that so you could choose when and who to take that class with#850 new students each year it was rare to end up on the same class as someone twice#unless you were already friends before and decide to take the classes together#most of my classes didnt have group projects either. no dynamic stuff just reading and reading and reading#it. was. HELL#i actually had like 3 people i could call my friends there but our classes never matched#and im not an easily approachable person i wanted to DIE when i made a friend there that told me she was scared to talk to me before#how many possible friendships i lose all the time for seeming unnaproachable?? for my fucking face bro i cant do shit about it#today my best friend from work also told me that when she first met me she thought i was cold and arrogant#but that i also seemed cool so she was like ok lets give her a chance#i keep fucking hearing it all the fucking time i have MANY friendships that started just like this. people judging me at first#this is so sad and lonely to me i dont wanna be this person#one time a friend also said something like im glad im already your friend id be scared of you if i didnt know you#like????? scared of WHAT. i never treat people badly. i dont fight i dont do gossip i dont do anything to hurt anyone#im always trying to get people together and have fun i always talk to everyone im always nice to everyone#im always trying#so why the hell people still think im unnaproachable#i dont get it i've been hearing this from FRIENDS my whole life. not from people who dont like me its people who LIKE me that say this#what the hell am i doing wrong besides being born with my fucking face#and then. above all. to make it all worse. i self isolate bc im scared of rejection. man i fucking hate being me#i really dont wanna be lonely
