#and probably not even the height of the conflict they'll eventually have

[paranormaljones]

so like. i know this is not an uncommon experience and i'm probably silly for venting about it on tumblr like it is but. two people in a beloved group chat that i'm in are beefing and i'm not involved in the conflict at all nor is it really my place to jump in and try to mediate because 1) i don't have all the details and 2) i need to stop doing that out of a trauma response and just let people sort out their own issues, but it is stressing me out badly.

milk crew reaction receiven nudes from reader

[suggestive]

Strawberry: Oh wow- Give a guy a little head's up next time. The most innocent about it and just says you look amazing and leaves it there - until he realizes you may want something in return.

Vanilla: Unexpected, but she's not one to complain nor waste opportunity. If she's in a position to, she'll send you a photo back with compliments straight out of romance novel (possibly one she had on hand)

Milk Tea: About time, but secondly how dare you not be around to take care of what you've caused. Demands you drop whatever you're doing and come over - if he's not speeding to your location instead

Ginger: Is in her shop twenty four seven and probably injures herself getting to her phone. Sends you a picture of her bandaged hand and two simple words "Send more."

Rootbeer: Eyes bulging out of his head, heart stopping. Cowboy will sprint to the nearest drugstore to find a pair of glasses that'll work for the time to see you in all your glory. At the end of it, he just sends a picture of his empty bed and "your place, or mine?"

Cherry: "I was in need of some motivation for practice. If only I could have the real thing though" You hear her skates at your door not even a minute later

Spice: "Dear, please. You are gorgeous as always, but I am working." Acts civilized, but the second the bar is clear he's rushing to the back to rub one out and go into heavy detail about what thoughts your photos conjured throughout the day.

Oat: "That's nice, love." Leaves it there or she would go into how lovely you'd look tied up.

Chocolate: "On my way. Move or put any clothes on and we'll have a problem."

Banana: Leaves you on read. This isn't malicious by any means, Banana is just easily flustered and has never seen anyone naked before. Compliments the wall behind you and hates herself for it later.

Peach: Responds with pictures of her in some lingerie she had conveniently lying around. The second you get that "Omw" text is when she's right outside your window.

Cotton Candy: Uses your nudes for reference in their art or starts commenting on what paints would go well on you since it's pretty hard to paint with one hand.

Eggnog: Very conflicted. High chance they're living in your attic during this and they don't know what to do. Should they go down? No - you would've said so in your message. Do you want to see them? No - they aren't pretty like you. Eventually works up to courage to send you a picture of them shirtless just to see where things go

Screamsicle: Sends you a picture of one of their skeletons dressed in one of the sexy costumes they've made along with a cheesy pick up line. This is to distract they're afraid of what you'll say if they send you pictures of themself as they are a bit self conscious about being one of the smallest height and muscle wise hybrids... and you're the hottest person they've ever seen

Mint: Sends a few emojis and a picture of themselves naked plain and simple. Some stuff about you sitting on their face later in conversation too

Apple: Please don't make the doctor horny at work. Their thoughts are on you enough already. If you send nudes during work they'll have no choice but to close shop early because they're too caught up on your photos. After hours are free game and they will be at your door momentarily

Licorice: Calls you so you can hear what your little offering is doing for him. That's what you wanted, right? Depending on the day, those sounds might even come from inside your closet.

American politics below. Also, talking about protests, authority figures, abortion rights, and past personal rights movements

I was talking to my mother this morning about the difference between the US and communist countries. (For context, my mom is divorced and is dating a guy from Czech. He grew up when Russia had a communist hold on the country. He immigrated to America in the late nineties)

We got to talking about American ideals. (It's a strange phone call for six in the morning, but whatever) The first pride event was a riot. It's one of the most American experiences you can get. Trans Women and Leather people were on the front lines, throwing bricks and high heels at police.

A government is infringing on personal rights. People get rightfully upset. Peaceful actions aren't working to create change. So you have to resort to violence to create any semblance of change. If you didn't know any better, you'd think I was talking about the American Revolution.

The same thing happened during the height of the BLM movement in 2020/21. Change wasn't happening by passive actions, so large amounts of people all over the country had to make the government listen for once. Thomas Jefferson believed we had to have revolts every couple of decades, so resentment wouldn't build up into a large bloody conflict within the country. Revolts make people listen.

It's probably going to happen again depending on the results of this year's presidential election. Personal freedoms are backtracking (i.e. Abortion Rights being overturned for one.) and it's eventually going to make enough people upset that the government isn't actually representing properly that they'll revolt again. Except so many issues are present that it won't be about one thing. It's going to be messy and people are going to be passionate about it. They want police defunding or reform so the persecution can cease. They want the government to stay out of their reproductive health care. They want protective unions. They want paid sick days. They want more environmental protection (permafrost is starting to melt, which is releasing more carbon and likely trapped diseases that we have no immunity against), ect.

It's interesting to know that we're going to continue living through huge amounts of history being made. I only hope it goes in the right direction and we don't turn more fascist than we already are.

In Czech and other Communist rules countries, people just disappeared for organizing protests or even just asking questions. Your body might never be discovered, and others didn't dare ask about you because they didn't want to disappear as well. Authority forced people to give them power. While here, mass amounts of people banding together can take a large amount of authority away from those in authority.

During the BLM movement, the protesters outnumbered the police, so the National Guard was called in. It got the governments attention. I don't know, maybe I'm going in circles.

Needless to say, it was a very interesting morning conversation and I have an art class to get to.
