#or just because

[cinamun]

Friends, I think we may need to be kinder to DJ. This man is just starting to adult. Did he fuck shit up? Yeah, but I don’t think DJ has ever done shit out of maliciousness. He got dome from a lady after he thought things were on pause, which yes, that shit was stupid. He’s expressed regret. Yes, he may have pushed it a little with Amaya when he kept showing up at campus. But did he not try and tell Isa what their dynamic was? Like, Ion really know if I wanna kiki and haha about her throwing that shit in his face.

I think sometimes we gotta look past the fact that this story is pixels and be a little fr. If a girl threw a frying pan at my brother, assaulting him, because of something like this? Friends, I would simply have to get my hands dirty too. DJ is no angel, but I find it weird we’re being so hard on the guy. We’ve seen truly malicious acts, even done with perhaps decent intentions in this story. DJ is navigating the real world! Sometimes you’re gonna misstep. It’s a part of your twenties. He’ll learn, because he got Big Darren every step of the way. But Isa? I’d be more careful about throwing shit like that at people or she’ll be riding out a felony charge one day.

Good morning nonny

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

I think one of the kindest things you can do for people with various mental health struggles is just... let people back into your life after they've been absent for a while.

Making friends as an adult is so fucking hard already and isolating yourself from other people is a very common symptom of depression, anxiety, burnout, ocd, trauma, grief, etc. Which means that someone will do the hard work of recovery/healing and resurface back into a world where their previous friends have written them off because they stopped showing up.

So if you know someone where you're like "yeah we could have been better friends but they fell off the map a bit" and that person suddenly reaches out, or starts showing up to events even though you kind of forgot they were still in the group chat... well they may have been Going Through It and you don't actually have to punish them for their absence you can just be glad that they're back.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
