Kai Monteago and Damon Maitsu being more similar than most think is genuinely so... There's no way he's not going to end up as Damon's support now.

I genuinely thought Kai would be a naive extrovert who would talk to anybody, but in chapter 1 he's the complete opposite of that. He's extremely cautious and aware of the dangers of simply existing in the killing game that they're all in.

He stays in/near his room most of the time, only going out when necessary. When he loses his ring under the fridge in one of his FTEs, he asks a few people for help but doesnt ultimately try to persuade them because he knows that no matter how much that ring means to him (a lot), his survival and safety is more important and he ends up returning to his room.

But once hes there and he sees Damon, he allows himself to show his vulnerability and be on the damn near verge of tears, pleading for his help. He trusts Damon, of all people, more so than I can say he does with the rest. He allows them both to sleep in his room, and even his bed. He knows Damon won't do anything to him. And during the blackout, he immediately turned to Damon so they could pair up. Oh princess how I hate you.

And Damon on the other hand is just as distrustful of the rest, shown by his only ally having been Eva. The only difference between him and Kai is that Kai presents himself as more sociable, whereas Damon is far more reserved.

They're also both extremely lonely. Damon didn't have the time to make many friends as a child. Even his debate partners were mere acquaintances to him, because he was so focused on studying debate to make money for his family. Kai, on the other hand, lost all of his friends when he became an Influencer.

Kai believes his current 'fans' are his friends, because they're all he has left. They support him no matter the controversies he's been in, and he believes that's their way of expressing their care for him. But, in reality, it's a parasocial relationship. After all, he's just another influencer to them, and he never bothers and even dislikes receiving private messages.

Damon with his superiority complex, and Kai with his inferiority. Their views on the world are warped to appease their own egos and conscience, and I don't know if they're doomed because of it or not

TLDR: Kai and Damon share similar struggles and Kai is going to be one of the only people that Damon will first grow to 'depend' on

no not really. Rarely does a dlc character come out that power creeps a roster and the few times it happens it’s corrected.

and sure you don’t have to spend money on gachas but it’s the “wrong way” to pay them and the game knows it. plus tekken isn’t trying to have a parasocial relationship with me with light dating sim and slice of elements, nor is it trying to get me to do free labor for it by sharing adds and entering in officially sponsored fan contests for loot and virtual currency.

The top five characters in tekken 8’s first season were all base game and many people thought half the dlc characters weren’t nearly as strong. Tekken 7 only ran into a broken dlc character situation near the end of its life with the infamous “7 Leroys in top 8 because why play another character.” Also, there’s no FOMO with dlc characters unlike limited time gacha banner characters. If I I want Eddy I can buy him whenever.

not remotely comparable in the slightest.

stop playing gacha games 2025 and play stuff that respects your time and wallet

#i had a good cry #let all those feelings out #things got too me too quickly and i felt overwhelmed #i’m much more calm now #my friend and i had a conversation that put a lot of things into perspective #she’s a g/aylor so she’s gone through her fair share of bullshit too #it’s bad that this is getting to me to the point i have a breakdown #and it’s because i have a parasocial relationship with him #at the end of the day we don’t know him personally. we don’t know what goes behind the scenes #and maybe distancing myself a bit from the whole personal aspect of him would be better #also something else. we all have a parasocial relationship with him #la/rries. antis. solos. the people that spend their time hating on him #we all care so much about what he does to the point it gets to us #i still love him and his music and call me crazy but i’m still going to his shows and buying 28op #and i’m gonna play the hell out of lt3 when it comes out #because i enjoy his music and his work. and to me that’s all that matters #whatever his personal life is. whether h and l are still together or broke up or it was just a fling. that shouldn’t matter #don’t get me wrong i still believe in la/rry. nothing can stop me from believing it. but it shouldn’t take so much space in my life #i’m still gonna stream his music. i’m still gonna blog about him. i’m still gonna be his fan #i’m still gonna gif him #but i’m gonna work so hard to make it healthy #somehow i’ve managed to do that with h already #so yeah just lots of words #treating this site like my personal diary aksjsjksjsjs #also @ parasocial relationship anon. somehow i feel offended by it but that’s a me thing not a you thing. and it’s true #logan.txt

I just think people need the gentle reminder that while you may consider a celebrity a loved one, to them you are just someone who loves them. I’m sorry if that hurt your feelings✨

#and yes I’m looking at y’all who think you deserve an invite to Liam’s funeral because he’s special to you like y’all have to understand #a funeral is private for family and loved ones not for fans and we can mourn him and grieve him on our own not at the funeral with his #family who are trying to say goodbye to their son or brother or father or actual bestie #like i love y’all but sometimes I need yall to turn your big brains all the way on #celebrity culture #one direction #liam payne #my little lanky baby #my little irish marshmallow #harry styles #niall horan #louis tomlinson #zayn malik #parasocial relationships

hello. it is i, your friendly neighbourhood goblin that pops up every now and then to scream about something new.

i love damien haas.

this has been a psa.

#i just made a very long post about parasocial relationships and saved it in my drafts because i just needed to sort my thoughts out #never meant to publish it and never will #but it was about damien and youtubers and streamers and how they're Different and harder to deal with than like tv stars #i mean well duh but i've not been into that many youtubers like this. there's dan howell and drawfee and geoff castellucci #and none of those was to the level i've had with traditional media celebrities #but anyway i talked about him and i also just needed to scream into the void about how much i love him and how much i relate to him #and how seen he makes me feel #and safe #like i for real wish i could be his friend and tell him how awesome he is (and also like. so fine)#how parasocial of me #but i dealt with that in The Post That Shall Not See The Light Of Day so no tangent on that #also i have realised that nearly every time i've been really ADHD hyperfixated on a real person on here i've also been real limerent #like it's not just a crush it's limerence baby!#and i need to work on the underlying issues there #but that was also addressed in The Post so it's okay #but yeah i was psyched to learn about the concept of limerence #it me! every time!#internal monologue #damien haas

HOW DID I FUCKING FORGOT IT WAS MAX'S BIRTHDAY OH MY GOD I AM SO DUMB HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX KNOW THAT YOUR MERCH POPULATES MY VIRGINITY CORNER

#clarification: I have a bunch of F1 themed stuff that's mostly RedBull/Max themed #I call it the verginity corner cause being a RedBull fan in Italy is a surefire way to never get laid #not that I was having much luck before #ANYWAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX!!!!! Happy birthday to the guy who got me into this sport #simply because I believed the memes about his dominance must have been exaggerated #Like nobody can win this much #right?#but he could. I miss those days. Anyway happy birthday to my most dangerous parasocial relationship #I am still firmly convinced I could pull him if he wasn't an F1 driver #he could infodump to me about cats and I could infodump him on. So much fucking stuff.#(also thanks Max for getting into F1 which made me grew closer with a friend because we're the only F1 fans in the friend group)#max verstappen

I genuinely feel like I dont have a right at all to complain or talk negative about Japanese fans but like……..the evident cliqueish-ness of honestly what looks like a very unfortunate larger chunk of them ……😮‍💨

like i gotta be honest the concert was a lot more isolating than it actually already was in itself because of the vibes at least a couple of clusters of fans gave me

#ramblin but not a gamblin man #like there’s a point where the pretty fixed staring or being like….physically distanced by everyone just gets…..unnerving #like the train back was completely fucking packed #except for in the space in front of where i was sitting…..lol #there was room for at least two people to stand if only people had actually consolidated and scrunched #like they had been doing the entire motherfucking way through transit and back #but i guess fuck them they can wait for the next train??? sure that makes sense #like i have never felt MORE uncomfortable and self-conscious being a smap/takuya fan #he’s the only piece that actually matters at the con tho 🫰#i probably should have brought merch but i actually was not crazy about the con’s theming (it’s…giving a bit too parasocial for my taste)#and I didn’t even consider bringing gwtf or next destination merch but i probably should have #but it’s not actually /mine/ so then i would think about how everyone that has theirs maybe probably ACTUALLY went to the concerts #that was another thing tho which is absolutely stupid because the whole point of a con is to SHOW OFF the stuff #but it was actually like……..off putting to me…….#idk maybe it’s cuz i innately have a weird ‘relationship’ with smap/individual members in that they aren’t normal-level interests #it just wasn’t sitting right with me seeing hoards of fans with bags..shirts..hats..all kinds of stuff lol #and it’s so hard NOT to have a defense mechanism like ‘I wonder if that person likes smap or /just/ takuya….’#and ‘did you actually want to come to the concert or mostly/just because you think he’s hot/cool/etc etc?’#esp validating seeing TWO people yawn during the con which was genuinely pretty disgusting/distasteful lmao #like that’s worse than leaving early why are you EVEN HERE #sorry okay i could probably vent more but i actually shouldnt and also i might end up talking in circles but #he was genuinely…………so amazing im eternally grateful that i had the opportunity to see him live #and if there is a smap reunion………..#….i genuinely think smapchat should storm it #be our own ✨clique✨#(but like…actually nice and kind and probably how takuya would want his fans to be ie not thickly-layered judgment [heehee :3])#(im also actually kind of so serious ???)

the way i need to write about roksana so bad

#personal #i could write a book about that woman i love her so much #her story is so so similar to vitali but from a different perspective but like. they're the same person to a degree #even her arc with like. cutting her hair short and bleaching it. that's LITERALLY what vitali did as well #obviously vitali is a guy but he was a daughter once. both him and roksana went through the same thing and went insane about it #+ roksana's weird obsession with mikhail which has stayed around all those years because she sees him as like. a symbol of freedom #because vitali was always with him and loved him etc etc. all of that made roksana love him too?? if that makes sense??#parasocial relationship with your older brother's bestie. because it's the only thing she's ever known. i need to chew on glass #and the way she feels like it's her responsibility to carry the burdens of her family because her older brothers both left #so she feels like she has to stick around and clean up the remaining messes to have some sort of semblance of a family again #but her parents are out for revenge and her mother has given up and her father is still trying. there's the whole affair thing with ravager #roksana has infiltrate vitali's office and of course she goes to do that. but with her own agenda in it all #trying to get closer to mikhail again as if she will succeed this time and finally get that freedom she's always longed for #and then she realizes that it was never about finding someone to run away with. it has to come from within yourself #and then she leaves. and she leaves so far that no one knows where she went for a good amount of years #AND IT'S SO INSANE TO ME. she did not have to go through any of that #and maybe if she and vitali had talked more and had tried to understand each other more they could've helped each other #instead of just. become strangers. while being quite literally EXACTLY the same. GOD!

Sometimes I feel like the things I post about Yuzuru are just too inadequate for the admiration I have for him and the impact his skating has had on my life. I genuinely just am in constant awe of his particular style as an artist and his determination. He’s just inspired me a lot in many aspects of my life and I don’t think I’ll ever really be able to put it into words

#it’s odd to admire someone who I don’t even know #not to come across as having a parasocial relationship because I like to think I don’t 😭#but nah he’s just inspired me for years and I’ll never really be able to fully describe it #I did draw him today but y’all will never see it 🥳#yuzuru hanyu

“lmm popscare” is so unoriginal y’all. write some new jokes. it’s just boring at this point.

#there's actual legit reasons for people to dislike him of course!!#just how there is with every celebrity #but at this point it's just copy and paste #while also spamming fandom tags with it #it's so unoriginal and tired #but then again when have these people ever been known for their originality #they just hop onto whatever train the internet has decided to run through someone and ride it far past the final stop #y'all claim to hate him but I also see y'all making every single thing he writes become a trend so...#hard for someone to be “untalented” when you eat up their work every time #sorry I'm annoyed and on my period #like I said you are WELL within your rights to not like him but its literally all the tag is rn #and some of us are mentally ill and need their parasocial relationship fueled #“why is he in everything?” uhhh idk prob bc you watch it every time and make his name trend with every project??#I personally think it's because he's a talented actor but y'all clearly don't so...
