So i started school (had an introduction day yesterday), and im not very social at all. I find it hard to make conversation. Once i get comfortable it's much easier but im scared people think im annoying or weird, (thanks to high school and the people there)

And obviously it's the first day and no one has made many friends but still im so anxious that im the one left behind with no friends (whcih honestly won't really happen because everyone in the class is pretty nice so far and are actually trying to connect with everyone) but still:')

[beefcakenpinkyring]

I often wonder why the fuck would a person choose to tie themselves down to one other human being in a way that looks more incovenient and uncomfortable than anything else from the outside. I always would try and remind myself of what I'd feel for my crushes to reason with my general disgust, but frankly, even those are passing. They're charming in their lack of incrimination. They're sexy in the unlikleiness of their immediate nakedness. They're desirable in their distance.

I thrive as a rebound, everyone knows this.

Tonight, though, I see it.

It's probably silly and just plain wrong, but romantic partners are for when your heart and mind burst with the urge to love.

Sometimes, like tonight, I am overcome with energy so soft and loving, so pressing and intense. Nothing fit for a platonic conversation. In fact, I start back up the blurriest of my friendships, pick up where I left with my last talking stage, harrass my best homies.

And yet none of that is enough.

I can't even pretend that it is what I crave.

I want to flirt, so bad, so unreasonably. No wonder people tie themselves down. No wonder people go out clubbing. No wonder people swipe on dating apps.

But I'll be honest ; this feels destructive by definition. It almost feels like a bipolar episode, manical and nearsighted.

If I had the slightest inkling that I would follow through with any advances I make tonight, I'd allow myself to venture, despite not having any set targets in mind, honest to God. But I can think of neither names nor valid ethical justification for any romantic beginnings, and for that, I shall log off messaging apps and go to sleep.

me: omg why am i single

also me: avoidant attachment style, hates PDA, hates using pet names in front of people, horrible texter, physical touch avoider, severely independent and prefers doing almost everything alone to my own detriment

[pinkpigtailsprincess]

Hey uh 🙋 same anon here about the guy. I know what I have to do… but, how do I put this

His unwanted circumstances (?) affected me so much that I’m not sure if I want him.. or maybe I do what him but I may be a bit ashamed because of his past actions such as like.. not answering my text (even though I know he’s a horrible texter) and not calling me back (even though I know he’s busy).

I am actually confused

i have a couple of different things i feel like can definitely help in this situation!! i hope atleast any of this advice can help you im always happy to help!!

A) Make a pro-con list and reflect on how much this circumstance effected you to see like where you are with liking him

B) you can revise the event to where it never happened (if you need help with revision you can ask me no problem)

C) don’t repeat the old story of how he like doesn’t text or he’s too busy for you and ignore the circumstances of him never texting circumstances don’t matter they aren’t more powerful than you!! and also don’t react to the unfavorable and just completely give up on the unfavorable

if you do decide to take any of this advice i suggest using affs like:

🎀 - *sp’s name* is always texting me and calling he’s always making time for me he has no choice

bc omg one of my sp’s was the exact same he was a horrible texter he never really knew how to talk to me and we’d go weeks without talking

P.P being sick (and needy possibly?)

We all know Peter becomes a needy baby boy whenever he has even the slightest snivel

He needs you to take care of him. Well, he doesn't need it, but he highly requests it. It starts off with a call in the morning after you text him your usual 'good morning' text.

Peter's more of a caller than a texter because he likes to hear your voice and doesn't have the patience for texting. He'd rather word vomit everything on his mind out loud to you. This morning is a little different. The call starts with heavy breathing followed by a gross coughing fit.

"Save me," the gravely voice croaks on the other end. "'m dyin' over'ere. Come to me. Hold me. Help me. I can see the light. 'm goin' into the light."

"Is this about cold from yesterday, Peter?"

"No...maybe...yes...but, I swear, I see the light. It's callin' out to me. Quickly. Come pull me back from it. This cold has mutated. It's become a beast. Takin' over my whole body. Can't function anymore. SOS. Save me. Please." -cue more horrible coughing-

"Drama queen."

You pull yourself out of bed and get ready to head over there anyway. Peter might be the world's biggest drama queen but he's extra sweet when he's sick and you don't want to miss out on that.

His apartment is really bare. He's been living here for a year and still only has a mattress on the floor for a bed. There's not even a fitted sheet on it today. The man is a mess. A pathetic mess and you take pity on him.

"Alright, Parker, get up. I'm taking you back to my place. I have some leftover dumpling soup I can make for you and a bed that doesn't look like it belongs in a crack house."

You help bundle him up like he's a toddler in need of assistance. He insists on wearing a beanie and scarf even though it's warm out. You don't fight him on it.

He moans and groans the entire way back to your apartment despite it only being a few blocks away from his. You hold the big baby's hand and drag him along behind you.

Back your place, he collapses into your bed and almost immediately starts snoring. He can't keep his eyes open. Didn't even take his shoes or jacket off. He's more sick than you thought so you let him rest.

You tuck him in, doing your best to wiggle him out of his outside clothes, and take his temperature while he sleeps. It's high but not dangerously so. You let the baby sleep which ends up being most of the day.

By mid afternoon, you decide to wake him to make sure his brain is still functioning and hasn't melted into goo from the fever.

He wakes up covered in drool and snot, his eyes are all crusty, his mouth is dry, he doesn't know where the fuck he is. He's groaning and unable to form words. His hands keeps sticking to everything like it's the first time he gained his powers all over again. A DISASTER BOY

"Where am I? Waz happenin' who's there? 'm Spider-Man, I can fight ya....'m so strong..."

You shush him, rolling your eyes, "Yes I know. You're a big, strong super hero. It's just me. Calm down. You're sick. And kinda gross. You don't smell great."

You roll his ass into the shower, letting him get cleaned off and refreshed, while you heat up some soup.

He's more coherent when he comes back and smells nice so that's a plus for you.

You spent the rest of the evening eating your soup, curled up in bed with him, and watching a movie on your laptop.

Peter refuses to let you get out of the bed for anything. He doesn't want you to leave his side. He has you wrapped up tightly in his arms as he dozes off and on.

And even though he feels like a giant, feverish heater attached to you and you're getting sweaty and will probably get sick in the next few days, you let it happen.

If you end up getting sick then he can repay the favor of getting to dote on you the entire night.

Make sure you give him all the kisses all over his fevered face so you can watch his half asleep, lazy smiles and listen to his little grunts of approval.

Because even in his sickly sleep state, he loves and craves your attention.

Who am I?

Alice, early 20s, any pronouns | INFJ, Pisces, 4w5

What is this blog for? What type of content should I expect?

I want this blog to be something between a personal and a writing blog. I want to post stupid little comfort x reader fics, reblog random things I find nice, rant whenever I'm feeling down, etc. This also means that my posts may be triggering for some. Don't worry, though, every fic will have the necessary warnings right at the beginning. As for my rants and such, I'll only put warnings if they're unusually detailed or intense.

What specific triggers should I watch out for around here?

Self-harm and suicidal ideation, ocd, ptsd, anxiety, fears regarding men and intimacy, family issues, and self-deprecating thoughts regarding one's worth in life and society.

These themes will go both ways; whether it's affecting the reader or the member(s) will always be specified at the top of the fic.

How can I show my support?

Reblogs!!! Comments!!!! Reblogs and comments!!! Likes are also nice, don't get me wrong, but they blend together too quickly and don't give me any feedback on what exactly you liked/didn't like about the fic and how much. Even empty reblogs are okay, as they help spread my work around!!! And if you want to stay anonymous, I love receiving feedback in asks as well!!!!

Can I DM you?

You can certainly try, and I will respond initially, but I'm such a horrible and anxious texter that anything besides technical/practical topics eventually ends with me guiltily ghosting you. I don't know why, but making friends on social media really stresses me out, so I'm not ideal for making mutuals, sorry :(

If you have any other questions or comments, feel free to either reply to this post, DM me or send me an ask! <3

[roleplayhonestybox]

confession time! i am horrible for just disappearing on people who bore me. i specifically ask for people who aren't horribly dry texters, and some of them slip past with initial enthusiasm and then they're just... boring. after we've started something. and then i'll forget they even exist in the first place and a month will pass before i check any server that hasn't been touched in weeks and realize, oh i was the last ic post, why didn't they message? and they'll still be there, so i'm torn between just deleting the server and wondering if they'll even notice, or saying something and not getting an answer (these people frequently ignore ooc messages, another of my 'please dont do this' list). and then i just kinda feel bad? even though i don't need to? it's not my fault they didn't hold up to the expectations they agreed to in the first place. i'm very up front about what i like in a partner. idk, i hate being the only one starting conversations and getting jack shit in them anyway. should i pay more attention and not forget they exist? probably. do i care enough to when they clearly dont respect my time either? no not really.

i want friends but im so horrible at socializing

i am the dryest texter istg i have 0 communication skills

[carmenized-onions]

i am back to gush about chicago's finest... just thinking about how tony and carm have established puzzle time as their little thing, and tony opening the door to little kisses on the cheek and both of them fighting the urge to just smother each other in affection... GAH i need to reread!! carm being... confused at tony and syd's relationship and a horrible texter just seems to fitting for him. bro is lost anywhere that isn't the kitchen. and i love the little moments where tony observes carmy being strong carrying stuff, like ok damn i see you... i think it'd be really cute if we get more one on one time with tony and carm and he starts getting all protective/casually dominant (is that the word i'm looking for?) over tony despite them not being official. ANYWAY. just love their dynamic. two idiots wanting to care for each other while also trying not to care too much. such a fan of them trying to resist gushing over each other. they are little dorks i love them and your work!

Bro,,, first of all NEXT TIME YOU SEND IN AN ASK YOU GOTTA GIVE ME A NAME TO WORK WITH I CANT KEEP TRACK OF ALL THESE VERY SWEET ANONS AND I NEED TO KNOW WHO TO THANK EVERYTIME!!!!

Second of all, YEAAHHHH. It's that very fun fresh new not a relationship relationship giddiness and simultaneous anxiety. Absolutely wanting to smother them and see them constantly and alsO NEVER LET THEM IN!!! NEVER!!!!!

Bro is fumbling outside of the kitchen, bro does not know how women nor phones work. Bro is 100% the way my brother's do not understand why i say i love you to my friends. FREAKS!!!

Thinking of what I have planned ahead, I believe you shall get these moments my dear anon,,,,, at least i think. Honestly every plan pivots once I start writing. Spoiler alert: I tried to force a smooch in this next chapter and I simply hated it so much I took 2 hours away from my laptop to rethink it lmao. BUT I'VE GOT PLANS BRO. I'VE GOT PLANS!!

Thank you sm for loving these dorks and my work and also telling me so, it means the freakin WORLD !!!!!!!! IT GIVES ME MY POWER!!!!

Anyways, I gotta go put tags on this post and write the author's note and post it hehehe SEE YOU SOON HOPE YOU LIKE THIS NEXT ONE BABE!!!

@noworldasgoodasmine i am so sorry for being a horrible texter i love you

[ofallthingsnasty]

theres something very sexy about controlling yanderes for me ngl☝🏻in real life it's an insufferable toxic trait but in fiction???? YUMMM

terrible men who controls every single aspect of my life down to what I wear to how many people I'm allowed to have contact with IF I'm even allowed to have contact with other ppl!! molds me to fit his exact standards and expectations, even if it means I have to reshape my entire personality, change the way I speak, the way I walk... a dream, honestly

btw I love your content and if youre ever interested I have an adult only one piece server with a lil space for dead dove talk <33

Haha yes, it's nice to dream a little sometimes 😭💕 With how fucked the housing market is right now, I might as well get cozy in some obsessed weirdo's basement and play perfect spouse for them (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡) (especially when they're abnormally tall and just ooze evil)

!!! Omg that's so kind of you, I'm glad you like my ramblings!! As for discord, I am unfortunately the fucking worst at texting/keeping up with chats - I've tried multiple discord groups over the years and unfortunately due to time zones and me being a horrible texter, pretty much every single server saw very little of me 😭 I add like... -10 value to groups, it's that bad, I'm so sorry 🥲

[haganez]

GOTG Texting headcanons Part 1

Headcanons since I been RPing Rocket's texts out I thought I'd put my thoughts on how each Guardian (or ex Guardian) texts. Just so I don't have to write it out on each one, no Guardian uses any internet codes like 'lol' or 'brb' because they don't know it. I am not headcanoning that all the Guardians have phones this is more along the lines of 'if' (although I'd assume Rocket and Nebula do from their time with the Avengers, Rocket with a dumb phone and Nebula with an outdated smart phone)

Rocket: Pretty formal, generally good punctuation, maybe a little too much, feels dumb about emojis but throws them in on occasion because he thinks that's the normal thing to do and wants to also seem normal. He can be fast or slow to respond depending on if he's in the mood to talk to people which comes and goes. His phone also only has the basic emojis so newer ones he can't see on his phone or use.

Peter: Will use short hand like "u up?" little to no use of capital letters unless he's trying to yell. He's a horrible speller because he never finished school and he takes a long time to text back because he's still learning the qwerty keyboard layout, which he hates.

Drax: He hates texting mostly because it's hard for him. He would write very formally when he does however. Proper punctuation and it's almost poetic. He would heavily try and keep to just simple one word answers when he could but he will also use complete sentence when he could send out a one word reply such as "We have arrived." instead of just "Here." He finds both slide out keyboards and touchscreens to be irksome so generally would prefer not to bother with it unless he has to.

Mantis: Would use a smart phone and use it pretty normally. She is the most enthusiastic about texting, and of the Guardians is the most adaptive about it. She can hold entire conversations and keeps it going. She makes occasional typos and uses no short-hand but she comes off natural.

Nebula: She use to only text with one hand since her robotic arm didn't work with her touch screen, when Rocket built her new arm he made sure it'd work on touch screens so she could use both hands like everyone else. She's formal when texting but doesn't hold lengthy conversations. After her upgraded arm, she is the fastest texter of the group, but that also may because she also gives the shortest replies. She's pretty no nonsense about everything but she'll send a picture of something if it reminds her of a person, such as seeing a new walkman at a junker shop, and texting Peter, "Tell me if you need this."

Week 2: #1

This assignment really opened my eyes to how social media plays a huge role in my life. My daily life revolves around social media, I am constantly checking my Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. Even when I am just relaxing and watching TV, I constantly find myself going on and off my phone to scroll on TikTok. In the video, he says "Am I using technology, or is technology using me" and that really stuck with me. Technology does take advantage of people and I can admit it does take advantage of me. I am affected by how much time I spend on it, what I see on it sometimes messes with my emotions, yet I keep subjecting myself to this toxic environment. Most of the time, when I am scrolling on Instagram, I see unrealistic body images, relationships, and life in general. I am unhappy when I leave the app, especially when I post something myself because I am worried about the likes and comments. Social media in general has a huge impact on me and my every day life.

In the middle of the video, he talks about texting and how we read messages. I am a horrible texter and all my friends tell me I sound like I am giving them attitude when I respond over text. It is truly me being a dry texter and just responding how I would respond in person. I hate how using punctuation and proper grammar can come off as rude or that I am angry. I hate texting because you can't see how the other person meant their message, whereas, on a phone call, you can hear their voice and how they meant to say something. When it comes to technology in general, I would like to take away notifications from my phone, unless they are from a physical person. I want to be more in the present and involved in my actual life, than being glued to my phone worrying about social media.
