I think it may be obvious that Mahiru is The Woman Lover but how did she come to terms with herself

Bear with me as I diverge into a quick anecdote about my own ridiculous retroactive signs of being a lesbian for a second.

When I was in high school, I wanted to be a Let's Player on YouTube, because that was what you did if you liked video games in the early 2010s. And I wanted my gimmick to be that I would only play games with female characters, because I loved and cherished women in what I thought was a super heterosexual way (it was not). And I did actually get it set up and make a few videos! But I very quickly realized that, when daydreaming about Making It Big, my daydream would naturally lead to "and then lots of girls LOVE me and lots of queer women think I'm great and maybe even sexy." But here I would have to stop the daydreaming. Because I was like but then...they'll discover I'm not a lesbian...they'll think I'm Encroaching On Lesbian Spaces...I can't queerbait them into thinking I, a heterosexual, am one of the Gays. I Can't Let Down The Lesbians By Loving Girls In A Non-Lesbian Way* (*I Was Loving Them In A Lesbian Way)

That's the type of shit Mahiru pulls. Mahiru does the absolute gayest nonsense imaginable, up to and including centering her school projects solely around female photos every year, but in her head she's like. I'm Doing This In A Heterosexual Way. It isn't until she's 25 that she realizes that she and Sato were in fact in an intense psuedo-romantic relationship under the thin veil of high school friends and that the reason she let Hiyoko get away with so much shit is that she thought Hiyoko was adorable. At the time she was like yeah. This is just how all straight girls are. And in a perfect nondespair world she'd go OFF THE WALL in college. But in canonical despair world. That girl is getting Freaky on that island with, like, all of the other girls. Ibuki mentions her boobs one day and for some reason this time it Clicks and she has to sit there going OH. OOOOOOOH for 43 hours.

Look at this twice-broken scarlet dismay Cigarette smile at the end of the day You're a mess, no Falling to pieces at best Throw stones at the mirror

Here's an example of why you should try To distance yourself from the notion of Falling in love so unnecessarily Laid low by thinking it over

Fear has an eight-legged weakness You've got to settle the scores Scream and climb up on a chair You're afraid of what you've become You're afraid of what you've become...

Spinning a web comes with no guarantees With every word that runs under the carpeting My guess is you're getting desperate To hide this stigma of yours Suddenly I understand what you said About having eyes in the back of your head but I just don’t get the way you act like a trap set waiting to spring

Fear has an eight-legged weakness You've got to settle the scores Scream and climb up on a chair You're afraid of what you've become You're afraid of what you've become...

The moral of this story captured at last Under the mouth of an overturned glass And it’s time to stop telling me you've been lied to I already know

Fear has an eight-legged weakness You've got to settle the scores Scream and climb up on a chair You're afraid of what you've become...

ALSO on the subject of spiders, here's a bit from a clickbait article he wrote in 2015. What a jerk 😤 (affectionate).

I was cleaning out some boxes in my storage room and while I am planning on tossing out all my old sketchbooks/notebooks, I do plan to take pics of some old drawings that stand out to me.

Like this picture! It was concept art (I guess) for some background sets I had to paint for my drama classes play about Elvis Presley.

I do remember painting the Peacock window, I don't think the gravestone made it in the final play. I also remember being in a Sisyphusian struggle with painting this LARGE canvas (bigger than me) of a TIME magazine cover with Elvis' face on it.

The issue was this was for Drama class....not drama club. I was stuck repainting his skin with borrowed paint from the art classroom and everyday I had to re-do what I did cause my mixed paint for his skintone was always tossed out when I came back in the next day. It eventually got done but man, that was a struggle lol.

I never saw the final product because the play premiered when I wasn't able to make the time to see it. Oh well.

@vitaegratis sent: “fucking hell.” //idk I just miss writing with you 👉👈

The party had been broken up by the cops in the middle of an acid trip, but Natalie still had enough sense to know she could go to a neighbor -- one particular neighbor -- for some refuge. Her mom wouldn't really care that her daughter was out all night, so long as the girl wasn't truant at school the next day. And for the most part, Nat always made it to class eventually. She just needed a place to crash the night.

She was a little banged up from crashing through the back woods, pupils wide -- but she still figured Eddie wouldn't be a total dick to her in this state. Plus, he knew his way around different drugs. Though her expression remained dazed, Natalie was relieved when he opened the door.

"Look, man, I just need a place to crash for the night... cops busted the fun and I'm tripping right now."
