#in the mortifying scenario where all my current friends see rotflh

[kingofthewilderwest]

Half my problem with relearning how to be trash (affectionate) on tumblr is that I'm used to being a hyped-up nerd about certain categories of things with certain groups of friends. It's a matching exercise. You match X with X, Y with Y, and Z with Z.

I change my groups and hype convos depending on what things I'm being nerdy about. I like being in multiple groups. Sometimes I like a sense of separation between groups. Makes me more comfortable, ya know?

As an analogy, the dorky things you do with family you might not want your friends to see, or vice versa. Mixing the two is where it gets uncomfy.

I've well-established my tumblr circles and know what I'm comfortable raving about. But I feel uncomfortable raving about X class of things because X doesn't fit into my tumblr communities. I'm like, "Ahhhh, I don't want THIS group of pals seeing me unrestrained about X! EMBAWWASING!"

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah sideblogs exist, I've used 'em, but I'm at the point I recognize it's useless to sideblog forever because it fragments me into artificial pieces. Toooo many sideblogs can turn into losing out on fun, too.

This is the trash site, Haddock. Regardless of whether you've posted anything like that in the ten years (TEN!?!?!) you've been here, no one is gonna blink if you're looking at YouTubers being like, "Oh my gawwwsh he's so hawt" or "Marukaite chikyuuuuu" or thirsting about fucking 1950s bluegrass or whatever it is you wanna say.
