#had another such interaction today

[adarkroomandawallflower]

To people who talk to complete strangers you briefly meet by circumstance in public (i.e. having to sit right next to someone on public transport because there are no loner seats available): why do you do it? What compels you to do it?

I swear I don't mean this in a rude way, I'm just genuinely curious because that's something that's always baffled me. In my mind, it's irrational/pointless to have a conversation with someone that you very likely will never see or meet again, & in general it just seems like a recipe for discomfort & awkwardness with very little reward to me. Again, I promise I'm not trying to be mean, that's just how I've always viewed these kinds of interactions.

If you're one of those people who does initiate these types of conversations, I'd genuinely like to hear your reasons or motivations for doing so! I'd love to hear your point of view, as I genuinely cannot think of any logical reasons or motivations for striking up a conversation in a situation like that

I think Tallulah is lying to herself when she says she's scared of the new eggs. Not completely, I don't doubt they make her nervous, but I'd bet Sunny and Tubbo are the root of her fear and she doesn't want to admit it.

I'd bet Tallulah doesn't like that she doesn't like Sunny. She wants to like everyone, but she doesn't like Sunny. So it must be because the eggs are new, right? All the new eggs are scary. Because they came from that horrible island. Because we don't know what they want from us. She couldn't possibly dislike Sunny just because she's loud and brave and loved by someone who used to put her first.

We know Tallulah was overwhelmed the first time she met Sunny. Sunny came up and tried to say hello first thing and Tallulah got barely anytime between that introduction and discovering Sunny is Tubbo's kid.

She was overwhelmed that whole time through meeting Em and Sunny, but one of the only times we see her relax is when she's teasing Tubbo about relationships. Because she loves Tubbo; he always works to make her feel seen. Then he leaves immediately off with his daughter.

Then yesterday, we heard Tallulah's concerns re: the new eggs. She also expresses concern over Niki and Tubbo's reaction over her hesistance. Especially Tubbo. She brings up Tubbo the most. While she really loves Niki, they haven't spent that much time together. When Phil left, Niki was supposed to watch Tallulah but instead Tubbo cared for Chay and her by himself. That last week before they left, Tubbo spent the whole time making sure they stayed alive. He comforted her on that last day. He shooed the others away and brought them to uppies and sang Jort Storm!

And then on that island, he stayed by her the whole time in that awful room. Waving and dancing and keeping her attention even when things were confusing and her papi wasn't there and they were in danger.

But now he has a daughter. A daughter he's going to put first, the way he put her first. A daughter she saw with her own eyes who seems louder and cooler and braver than she's ever felt. Where does that leave her? Another person gone from her life? Left behind for something better?

Why would she want to know the egg that's taking someone else from her. An egg her papa says steals and takes and wants. An egg who stole and took and wanted Tubbo. An egg we don't know the background of.

Today I think showed proof of Tallulah's underlying insecurities with regards to Sunny and Tubbo. She was totally fine to ignore Pepito when he woke up. He didn't interact with her, but she stayed in the area. It could just be that he didn't interact with her so it was okay, but that's the point. Pepito isn't trying to take anything from her.

Sunny though? We saw Tallulah get upset and leave at the mere mention of Sunny when she asked about Tubbo's crown. Tubbo who's showing his daughter's ownership love of him at all times. She turned around and left immediately after he said that.

We haven't seen much interaction with Tallulah and the new eggs, for obvious reasons. That said, I bet when we do it'll become clearer that her concern is centred around one egg in particular! And it'll be GREAT angst because Tallulah doesn't want to dislike someone, but she does. What happens when she can't hide behind fear of the other eggs? Or her grounding? What does she do then?

insuline & nicotine flirting is just antoine initiating by saying something insane about étoiles unprompted (i.e. “your ass is driving me crazy and i need it”) and étoiles responding on the same wavelength (i.e. “your knowledge of world capitals is like my ass, you’ll never forget it”) . truly the fun part of it all is seeing the evolution in how antoine would just do this without any big reaction from étoiles for a while until étoiles just started clapping back and being just as insane unprompted

I have experienced my first interdepartmental nonsense at work. I think that Officially makes me a member of this office now

[mojavemoproblems]

you know, there were a couple years where i was beginning to think "wow, maybe things ARE getting better for women". i wasnt as scared of men and i genuinely thought sexism was decreasing in the workplace, the classroom, etc. (also i am a white woman so i can't speak for woc and i absolutely understand if any woc has never felt this way)

but god, its been fucking rough lately. i'm fully considering deleting every single social media account i have because its getting so bad. i cant go 3 posts on twitter without seeing the most misogynistic post i've ever seen in my life. we are constantly exposed to men doubting us, telling us we're less than, telling us we shouldnt be allowed to vote, telling us we cant make our own decisions about our bodies. you cant even fight back on twitter as a woman or your mentions and DMs will be filled with men telling you theyll rape you or that you dont deserve rights.

what the fuck has happened? it's been fucking eating at me and i feel like i'm just constantly holding back tears. what the fuck did we do to men to make them hate us so much? what has caused this INSANE resurgence in men hating us? sexism and misogyny has been so normalized in recent years and i just dont know how much longer i can handle it. i feel like i'm unraveling. i can't even open up instagram comments anymore.

and now trump is just straight up posting shit about how kamala fucked her way to the top? and this is a FUCKING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE? we've had to sit through THREE (3) trump elections. I know misogynists have always had platforms, but giving a rapist misogynist the biggest platform in the world has so severely fucked up the world and the gullible little men who listen.

i have always considered myself an incredibly strong-willed, independent, straightforward, courageous woman but this has been absolutely destroying me. i can't even imagine what its doing to women who haven't had as much exposure to feminist ideas as i have.

because jesus. the self doubt? the fear? constantly having to prove to men who dont give a shit about me that i'm not fucking breeding stock? its exhausting. its killing me. i dont know what to do.

what did we fucking do?

Hello everyone!! My fantasy/fairytale moodboard event is over (I forgot to say this a couple hours ago)! I hope you guys had as much fun with these as I did!! This event really helped me take care of some requests that I thought had a similar theme. Maybe I'll do another one of these in the future if I get enough requests at one time!

Also, I've updated my account with a dedicated post of request details!! It can be found in my pinned and includes my rules as well as a list of things I won't do! I also incorporated answers to frequently asked questions throughout!

I'm being like astoundingly social lately. Starting from Thursday last week, I saw my girlfriend, then spent time with family on Friday, then saw my girlfriend again on Saturday + some of her friends, then watched a movie and drew stuff with friends on Sunday, then had a session 0 for new dnd on Monday, then watched anime with a friend on Tuesday. Off day on Wednesday. Then on THURSDAY I hung out with my girlfriend, had a study session with friend group (with mixed success at the studying part), AND watched anime with a friend again. And then today, watched a different anime with a different friend.

And TOMORROW I'm going to a concert with family and a friend, Sunday I'm hanging out with my girlfriend, then Monday I've got dnd thing again (probably? Need to double check). And then potentially more hangouts to come.

It's insane. What is this new social me. I don't think I've ever hung out with this many different people in such a short time before.
