things get better. my best friend in the world got top surgery after us talking about it for years. i'm getting mine next year. i have genuine friends now who teach me everyday what love looks like. love looks like going to an arcade and talking for hours at the bar instead. love looks like planning road trips to our hometowns. love looks like choosing our regalia colors together. love looks like learning our language. love looks like compression binders. love looks like top surgery scars. love looks like sweet grass tattoos.

things get better.

I want to be honest but I'm not sure I know how

I want to be confident but I feel like a horrible person when I don't apologize for something that wasn't my fault

I have a great time every Sunday when I'm not at home

When I don't have to hear my family yelling at each other

When I don't have to worry about having no friends

Because Church is my real home, where all my friends are, where everything I really love is

But then I go back to my house, and I don't want to be real anymore

I'm happy some moments but I know it never lasts, so I've slowly begun to wonder why is matters

Why should I be happy when I know it won't stay?

I love all of you I really do, but every time I see something you make, I love it, but it reminds me I'm leagues behind you, and no matter how much I grow, you'll always be higher

I want to support you

But everything you make makes me want to cry because I'll never be your equal. And I know that.

Xenoblade 3 artbook is crazy because on the one hand you've got really cool lore drops or info that makes the vision clearer.

And on the other I've got the mental image of Vandam Xenoblade 2 teaching Mythra the secret to getting a trans girl pregnant.

also i Know my experiences aren't universal but the annoying part of my brain is like Well they should be. like i'm an only child and didn't have any cousins till i was 14 so i didn't really socialize w kids (i went to school and daycare but i was a weirdo). and i was pretty quiet and loved just sitting and silently reading, to the point i preferred it over playing; in kindergarten i would lie about needing to use the bathroom during recess so i could go inside, but then i'd just read. and even now, despite knowing and understanding how illogical it is, i have the same thoughts i did as a kid and i'm like. why is everyone so goddamn loud. why can't we just sit and read in silence

Also I want to mention that like a learned behavior I got from my parents growing up in the 2000s is that they would gift all the people they didn't like toasters for their weddings or like

These things in varying shapes because they're objectively useless and just about everyone already has a toaster, but they could gaslight them and be like "I thought this was on your registry" and it met my parent's minimum gift rule for weddings and baby showers, which was "must be at least twenty dollars or passable as being conceivably worth twenty dollars."

And despite inflation, I too follow that rule for people I don't like.

The only difference is that sometimes to be a massive asshole I get the character toasters that brand Darth Vader or some other bullshit into your bread as a form of passive punishment.

How are we doing fellow "has way to many siblings" person(i think your also the oldest, might be wrong), this holiday season

Just spent $50 at dollar tree and dollar general for these brats whom I spoil

yeag I am the oldest and well . atm the only plan is to gift them all with my presence for a couple weeks <3 I probably will get them all smthin eventually tho ,,,, might end up attempting to crochet them all a little smthin ! but also like . my family actually isn't super big on christmas bxjsncndsbxnjc we don't really do a whole lot of gifts in general , so I don't think any of my siblings are really *expecting* anything from me but perhaps I will make them pleasantly surprised 👍 I should probably get on that though lmao-

[robinsnest2111]

if I had a place of my own again you bet I will bombard all the people I love with requests and offers to come over and hang out. Cook, bake, watch movies or shows together, have sleepovers if the work schedules align, arts n crafts while sharing space, cuddle and nap piles if the fancy strikes. the whole 9 yards.

sucks that I can't do that rn...
