#dont know how that happened

these fellas

When you find a tag for some random ship that you haven’t seen before, and is also not something you thought of.

But you read the fanfic/tumblr post anyway

And then you read more

And in the course of a few hours you now really like this ship and have a billion of your own head cannons about it and will defend it with your life.

Bonus if the ship will never be cannon ever, but your delusion enough to think that it could totally work and might happen.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

Linktober, Day 12: Tarry Town!

You defeat the final boss in the volcano causing the floating islands to float! Congrats. Unfortunately, with the destruction of the said monster, the islands are no longer floating and are, in fact, slowly coming down enmass as the magnesis scatters.

Zelda would like to point out people are much more likely to survive walking around slow giant rocks from the sky versus dodging flaming lava. She’s practicing this new thing called positive thinking.

I feel like we have accidentally sent the wrong message with adjusting to new pronouns when we complain about people saying "it's just so hard to get used to" so I would like to clear things up.

It is entirely fine to accidentally misgender someone because they recently changed pronouns. Hell, I, as a trans person, have accidentally used the wrong pronouns for my trans sister. The issue is the effort actually put into correctly gendering people and the reaction when called out about misgendering someone.

I do not have a problem if someone accidentally uses the wrong pronoun and then quickly corrects themself without making a big deal about it (ex. "She-- oops, sorry--he" or "she-HE") I don't even have a problem if someone misgenders me and doesn't immediately realize and correct it if they usually use the correct pronouns. I also won't hold it against anyone if I only mentioned my pronoun change in passing, and they just forgot, as long they aren't dramatic about it if I remind them (ex. "Oops I totally forgot, I'll try to keep that in mind" or "Ok, feel free to call me out on it if I continue to do so")

My personal issue is with people that anytime someone corrects my pronouns to them, they just make a big deal about how they're not used to it, but don't actively try to change (ex. "SORRY, it's just SO HARD to get used to these new pronouns, just give me some TIME" or "ugh, chill I'm just so used to using she/her pronouns for you calm down" and then they never even try to use he/him pronouns for me) I also get slightly irked when people have to make a comment every time they misgender me (ex. She-- oops sorry, it's just so hard getting used to this whole pronouns thing.") Literally just quickly correct yourself an move on.

How about- I used it and I turned out fine-ish. I followed all my parents rules, only really had Facebook for the games before finding and using the closest thing to social media that I actually like enough to consistently use(fanfiction sites) and having your parents actually ask you to make a social media account

Man that sure is a Situation where two 14 year olds push the limits of each other’s trauma responses until they both reach extreme breaking points. and then they deal with the aftermath basically all by themselves. Isn't that super awesome and totally not kinda fucked up at all.
