I really don’t want to sound entitled or like I’m getting worked up over nothing but like...one of my biggest pet peeves is when you message someone and you see that they’ve read your message and they just DON'T RESPOND
I honestly understand that people may be responding and not hit “send” by accident or just outright forget to respond but...I don’t know it just rubs me the wrong way when it happens so frequently. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for something like a “Hey, I’m busy right now, I’ll message back soon” or “I don’t have an answer to your question right now, let me get back to you”. I feel like if you have the time to read the message, you have the time to send a quick response if you don’t have the time to have a full blown conversation.
And especially when you’ve explained how you feel about it more than once. I’m more sad than anything (having RSD really does not help me), I just automatically assume the worst when I don’t get a response when I know they’ve seen the message...am I allowed to feel this way or am I being dramatic?

What do you think about afo being touch starved and having depression?
well afo decided to only let one person be close to his heart and treated everyone else like disposables so I would say he is both touch starved and depressed, but acts as though he's not lol. it's what happens when you decide to put all your needs onto one person and close yourself off to everyone else.
I don't headcanon afo to be super affectionate, an unpopular opinion, but humans do desire touch from other humans so he would feel the ache of that absence of touch in his life which is why getting yoichi back is so important as that's the only person he feels that could fulfill his emotional needs.
I do think yoichi felt suffocated often because of this and felt an obligation to stay with him when he was alive as without him who else would afo have? of course after afo goes too far he decided to leave, but I think not wanting his brother to be alone was a contributing factor for yoichi staying with him for so long as it's never hinted at that he wanted to leave before the vault incident.
the depression didn't kick in until after yoichi died and was at it's worse during the time from the sewers to where he's sitting alone and realizes a part of yoichi is still out there. it improved once he got his hope renewed that he could get some form of yoichi back, but it never truly leaves him.
the fact that he changed tenko's name to tomura is the biggest piece of evidence of this to me as the name tomura it means "to mourn". knowing how afo had intended to take over his body I think it's fitting he gives his vessel that name as his whole life has been defined by grieving. with grief being his main motivator for majority of the story to how much grief we see him inflict on others throughout it.
so I do think he's touch starved and depressed and it affects him deeply, but he did dig his own grave in that aspect so he has no one to blame but himself for that so I'm going to bonk him on the head for it
get bonked idiot

Sometimes I think about the fact that Lucy was married and has never once spoken about it. I wonder about Gelsin Mux every single day actually.... Imagining Lucrecia as young and in love in Grulovia before she got tied up in any sort of crazy Psychic 7 nonsense is so bittersweet to me. I like to imagine her ties to Gelsin as being like her ties to her old life. Gelsin and Marona and Lazarus after a certain point of interacting with the psychics in America become almost like characters in someone else's life to her. I'm really fascinated with this idea of Lucy really losing touch with her old life. It's obvious that she had a lot of love for Grulovia and for her family but what she was doing with the rest of the Psy7 was extremely important to her. I like the idea that maybe she just felt a little suffocated and isolated for a while in Grulovia as a powerful psychic and couldn't find anyone to relate to (I hc that neither Marona nor Lazlo were psychics) so the Gulch became a place of acceptance and self expression that she had never been used to having. But the way that the Gulch made her grow as a person meant that she could never really go back to "the old Grulovia" that she grew up in, especially considering that the country was war-torn upon her return.
Also realizing that this image here means that it is highly likely that she left Gelsin in Grulovia with it very questionable if she would return. Since it is canon that Gelsin died in the Grulovian war, and not the Deluge.... and Ford met Lucrecia as Lucrecia Mux. I like to think that they fell in love when they were young and back when things were really simple for Lucy, but after she was able to identify how vital being psychic was to her as a person, they lost the ability to relate to one another like they used to could. I don't think she ever really fell out of love with him, they just grew apart in a sad way...

nothing is funnier to me than opening one of neil newbon's old streams to see how he interacted with the characters and then seeing someone in the chat go "I don't like Gale--he's a walking red flag"
girl you are there in that discord server or whatever because you like Astarion. your fingers should NOT be on your keyboard when it comes time to talk about red flags 😂
