guys i just finished my first shift at my first job, could you guys congratulate me.
#when my family picked me up they didn’t congratulate me bc my little sister was crying that she had waited too long on me to finish my shift#and the whole ride home and night was about her#and no one noticed or congratulated me until i was sobbing and even then the attention wasn’t really on me#i know it might be petty but this is my first job and i just wanted a pat on the back but instead no one even talked to me#sorry for venting#shroom talks

RANT POST ABOUT CALLIE AHEAD!!!
I need to get some old and built up feelings out of my chest before i explode into a trillion pieces, if you do not wish to see a LONG rambling about me getting mad and rageful about this important character to me then by all means skip over and have a good rest of your day or night!
If you can handle me getting a bit pissed off and mean then keep on reading!!
This will also be a VERY LONG POST!!! Because I have a lot to rant about. Some of it i have talked about before many times but i need to talk about them... Again..
So anyways. If you wanna move on, that's okay, if you wanna stick around? That's all good as well!!! I highly HIGHLY encourage you to read all that I have to say. Okay? Thank you!
You know, as someone who has put in a lot of time and research into Hypno Callie and the others. What I've come to notice in media is that people tend to use the words mind control, brainwashing, hypnosis, influence, indoctrination, corruption, all interchangeably despite each word having vastly different meanings and connotations and effects.
Brainwashing has been used as an incorrect word to describe a lot of these kinds of plots in TV, movies, games, etc. and it really bugs me personally. Like, if you see something as clearly hypnosis, they explain that it is hypnosis and there is a hypnotic element at play here, you cannot just slap the word brainwashing onto it. It's like if I called a mango an apple you know? Or if I showed you a squid and you called it an octopus and you were REALLY adamant that it's an octopus.
Another example, if there's mind controlled zombies that are being controlled by aliens or something, slapping the word hypnotised or brainwashing onto that scenario is stupid because they clearly explained it in the story with evidence that it's straight up direct mind control and nothing else.
This doesn't just to apply to Splatoon btw, this annoyance goes for every other time a "mind control" plot has occurred in fiction.
I don't wanna sound rude here, I really don't! But guys, do you realise that we have this cool thing all across the world called a language? And languages have words in them!!!! And words have meanings in them that are brains understand and interpret!?
If I say the word "fluffy" what do you think of? "Fluff, fur, cute, huggable, adorable." You think of cute fluffy things, yeah?
If I say the word "hypnosis" what do you think of? A trance like state, a weird altered state of consciousness, maybe even a weird sleep/flow state?
If I say the word "brainwashed" what do you think of? Cults, militarily, experiments, evil, etc.
You guys see why I take issue? You guys see why I am extremely picky and laser focused on people's word choices when it comes to Callie and what happened? You guys see why I get really angry when people who do fuck tons of research into the events of Splatoon forget that languages exist and fail to see things past a fucking Wikipedia article?!? Is it seriously THAT hard for some people to say hypnotised?
I don't even necessarily blame most people for the words that they use, they don't know any better! And you know what? That's okay! I don't wanna get mad at SOME people since that word has been used incorrectly in media for a long ass time. And you wanna know another reason why i don't blame the casual fan or someone not in the know that much too? Because even the SPLATOON DEVELOPERS use brainwashing to describe Callie which is just... from my research and posts, incorrect.
I have yet to find a single person who can confidently explain to me that Callie was actually brainwashed and provide evidence to me to prove their points. Cause all I see is people just saying that "oh, a wiki and an artbook said so, so it must be true." Instead of looking at the actual game and looking at Hypno Callie's personality, behaviour, actions, etc. and comparing them to regular Callie.
Why do you think 99% of people call her Hypno Callie? Like there's a reason as to why her name is that in most circles... Have you ever talked to someone who calls her brainwashed Callie? Probably not...
God... I'm really sorry if i come off as some gatekeeping fan or elitist snob or some shit. I'm not trying to be and i don't wanna be like that. I wanna educate people, make people think of a different perspective and make people think a little more you know?
I'm just getting tired of it all... It affects how I see Hypno Callie and the events of Splatoon 2. I can't enjoy it when some people throw out these certain words, and it makes me feel so sad and terrible. And not in an engaging way, just a sadness that fucking stings my chest and I'm SO SICK OF IT!!!!!
I just despise this notion in the Splatoon community, Inkipedia, YouTube videos, social media and official sources that Callie was kidnapped out of the blue when she was alone and Octavio forced the shades onto her, brainwashing her and removing her memories. I hate it so much. It's something that truly fills me with great sadness and pain and pure anger. Callie is a comfort character of mine and to hear that scenario for her in official canon is just... no. I can't accept it. I refuse to accept such a vile and awful thing. It makes the Octarians more evil and way less sympathetic that way too, it makes DJ Octavio's eventual redemption make less sense because in one game he's this fucking monster and the next he's like "Hey guys imma help you out!" It makes his character incredibly inconsistent at that point.
it makes his appearance with Cuttlefish at the Grand Fest feel less satisfying because there this huge black spot on his character from Splatoon 2 where he apparently did something truly evil and unredeemable. Why would Cuttlefish be okay with standing next to a man who """kidnapped and brainwashed"""" his grand daughter?! I don't care about their history together, if i was Cuttlefish and I heard about that kind of event for my grand daughter, I WOULD NEVER FORGIVE OCTAVIO!!!
Hypnosis by nature is less evil and has more nuance and agency for Callie and the Octarians. Sure it's still fucking bad but not as extreme and dark as brainwashing is. The two terms are so vastly different and using either word willy-nilly is extremely annoying and frustrating to me.
Hypnosis ≠ brainwashing and you cannot prove to me otherwise. You literally cannot mind control someone with hypnosis, that's not how it works. They are so opposite of each other it's actually insane. I DON'T GET WHY PEOPLE USE THEM INTERCHANGEABLY ALL THE FUCKING TIME?!?! WHY?!?!!? Is it a lack of knowledge?!? Lack of caring?! Is it because of how hypnosis is portrayed?!?!
And the whole "Callie was kidnapped/abducted." My god... Do people understand what words are coming out of their fucking mouths?
Callie was more than willing to join the Octarians and she said to them "okay fine I'll hear you out." That is not KIDNAPPING!!!!!!!!!! THAT STATEMENT MADE BY CALLIE GOES AGAINST THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD!!!!
I don't know why they say this in some official sources either, i don't know why Inkipedia lists it on their pages. i don't know why fans keep wanting to push this idea that Callie was kidnapped, is it because an artbook said so and nothing in the game? I don't know why timeline explainers and people who do a fuck ton of research into Splatoon push it too. If Callie was kidnapped you figure she would mention it. But she doesn't!!!! Marie does and says she was brainwashed in the North American (NoA) localization, but of course she would think that and from her perspective she would figure that is the case from her limited knowledge of what happened to Callie.
God I just.... I hate it when people say Callie was brainwashed. I fucking despise it. It makes me so violently angry and upset and EVERYONE WHO HAS A LOUD VOICE IN THE COMMUNITY SAYS IT!!!
This doesn't even impact just Callie. It impacts the entirety of the Octarians as a species and DJ Octavio too. I LIKE DJ OCTAVIO!! I THINK HE WAS FUNNY IN SPLATOON 1! I like his role in Splatoon 3 and how he redeems himself and how he appeared in the Grand Festival with Cuttlefish. It ties back to before the Great Turf War when the Inklings and Octarians were on good terms and now finally that peace is back....
But this enjoyment... this appreciation of his character growth gets ruined because of the shit Nintendo did and what the fanbase did when Splatoon 2 rolled around... I can't enjoy Octavio as a character anymore because of the notion that Callie was brainwashed by him.
I can't look at his inkipedia page because IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH THEY SAY HE BRAINWASHED HER!!!!
And don't you EVEN MENTION the line "I remixed Callie's brain!" My brother in Christ, that is not only a call back to a line he said in the final boss of Splatoon 1, but it's also because DJ Octavio is a.. idk... DJ!!!! A DISC JOCKEY!!!! In the NoA version of Splatoon, Octavio's personality is very loud and in your face, compared to his more sinister and intense personality in the European and original Japanese versions. This serious personality was only given to Octavio finally in the NOA version of Splatoon 3 ROTM where his personality actually matches his Japanese and European versions from Splatoon 1 and 2.
Octavio says puns and musical terms to describe shit in the NoA versions of Splatoon 1 and 2. Remixing by definition is taking a song and altering it to make something new. What is Hypno Callie? A REMIX OF CALLIE!!!! It's Callie but she's more aggressive, emotional and impulsive. And you know where we've seen this remix of Callie before? IN SPLATOON 1!!!! IN THE SPLATFEST DIALOGUE!!!!
Octavio didn't literally mean that he "remixed her brain." via actual brain, washing. He just means that he gave Callie a new twist, and Callie in her hypnotic state was like "okay fine I'll hear you out."
Octavio hypnotising Callie who wanted to help the Octarians anyways out of her own free will, planting suggestions into her head that SHE HERSELF ACCEPTED AS DURING HYPNOSIS, SUGGESTIONS GIVEN CANNOT GO AGAINST THE PERSON'S MORALS AND IDEOLOGIES!!! So that Callie would be more likely to stay in Octo Canyon and not decide to suddenly run off as Callie was under a lot of mental distress and emotion from her busy and lonely life, and allowing Callie to put her influence onto Octo Canyon to help his people and boost motivation, fits more in line with Splatoon as a series and Octavio as a character than the whole "he brainwashed Callie" bullshit that has plagued the internet for 7 years and continuing. Why do you think Callie is so chill to see DJ Octavio come back in Splatoon 3 huh? Why do you think she misses shaven Octarians in ROTM? Why do you think she calls Octarians cute? Hmm... I WONDER WHY?!?!?!
Is Octavio still bad? Yes! Did he use Callie to benefit his people? YES!!!! Was Octavio being manipulative and selfish? FUCK YES!!! HE'S THE ANTAGONIST!!!! I AM NOT RESOLVING THAT MAN OF BLAME!!!! DONT GET MY WORDS TWISTED!!! HE'S STILL BAD! just not unredeemable... because once you say he brainwashed someone and forcefully removed Callie's memories like a pure evil monster, then you have a character who is pretty much unredeemable at that point. You have made him cross a line that he can't turn back from. You implanted these disgusting and disturbingly sexual suggestions about Octavio and Callie and her outfit. Why the FUCK do you want that? Why?! Why do you wanna even suggest the idea that Callie was forced to wear skimpy clothing against her consent and knowledge? Do you know how fucking DISGUSTING AND EVIL THAT IS?!?!?! FOR A SERIES SUCH AS SPLATOON?!?!?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ON WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO FUCKING IMPLY HERE?!?!?!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!?! GOD!!!! WHY DO YOU WANT THESE AWFUL THINGS DONE TO CALLIE AGAINST HER KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT IN THE MAIN TIMELINE!!??!?!?!?!! For AUs I get it, it's your right as a fan to make fanfiction and explore darker topics. I personally won't read it but I won't EVER stop someone from making a darker AU. It has its place in the community and I 100% respect it with all of my heart. I truly respect those who make dark AUs and darker takes on Splatoon because I'm sure it's fun and interesting for some people. To each their own! I actually like hearing my friends talk about Fuzzy AUs and stuff like that, given the time and place, darker toned AUs are something that i find really interesting but I'm not super duper in love with them.
But don't you DARE put these disgusting and sexual undertones about Callie and the Octarians in the main canon. Fuck off. Don't you even try and suggest that the Octarians are this purely evil race that forced Callie into a revealing outfit while she was completely unaware and it was against her consent. And that they just grabbed her... god... Jesus Christ man. Fuck. I hate thinking about that so much dude.
This type of scenario that people push did NOT happen.
THIS DID!
I'm so angry. I'm so sorry for this giant humongous rant. I care a lot about Callie. I only want the best for her. I only want a more engaging and more in-depth take on Splatoon 2. I want to enjoy Tidal Rush, I want to enjoy Spicy Calamari Inkantation, I want to enjoy Fresh Start, I want to enjoy the Bomb Rush Blush remix like how i enjoy Unconscience by Marina Agitando. I want to enjoy Hypno Callie in general, BUT SOMETIMES I JUST CANT AND I GET SO SAD AND MY CHEST HURTS!!!! This has been going on FOR SOOO LONGGG!!
I keep making all these posts about Callie because I still see that kind of bullshit being thrown around. Imagine having a perspective on a character you really love and you try and hold on to it. But everyone else around is pushing that perspective down and you feel so sad and stupid and ridiculous... And so your only option left is to scream and bark and yell....
I am literally gonna keep ranting until I can see the word "brainwashed" in media without having a fucking heart attack. I wanna just be able to enjoy Callie's arc and see it for what it truly is...
A story about two cousins drifting apart... Callie becoming so popular and famous... and lonely... that she became so mentally distraught and overthought everything. She did something incredibly irrational. She went to Octavio and the Octarians. Octavio knows that Callie can be a huge help to him after his loss and so he enlisted her help. And she just said, "okay, fine."
She was given hypnotic shades by Octavio in order to keep her more under control as she was ridden with mental illness and could leave Octo Canyon at any point with her overthinking. But he did NOT put her under total control and brainwash her, he needed Callie's influence for the Octarians, to decorate bases and add her touch into their music. The Octarians became happy and more motivated then ever. He didn't need a drone to help him. He needed, CALLIE.
However... Callie, in the canyon, lost herself, she gave into bitterness, hatred, sadness, anger... She knows who she is, but her memory is so cloudy and muffled by emotion and the shades... She needs help... Proper. Help. You can hear it in the songs found within the Octo Canyon, her reversed vocals sound so sad and deeply emotional...
When Marie arrives, Callie is mad at her, she wants nothing to do with her. But when Marie shoots the shades off of her, Callie is still dazed, upset, emotional, sick, she dances and continues to sing back against Marie's desperate words and pleas... Marie only wants to repair their broken relationship and lend out a hand to her cousin who needs to see the light....
But, when that heavenly melody echoed in that stadium, it was like a rushing tide of memories and feelings flooded into Callie. All of her and Marie's time performing, hosting news, celebrating Splatfests, and arriving to Inkopolis for the first time, came back to her and dispelled the darkness in her heart.
Callie heard the melody and went "wait... This isn't me! What am i doing!? YEAH! I REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And well... The rest is history, the pair healed their relationship over the course of a few years and are stronger than ever.
They fulfilled their fresh start, they helped redeem an angry vengeful man from the past, they inspired the present with Off the Hook, and they planted the seeds for the future in Deep Cut.
and they won the Grand Festival... TOGETHER!
Well... At least that's MY interpretation on things ;). And i want my interpretation to be held strong in my head... I'm tired of getting chest pains man... I'm tired of feeling this sadness and pain... I'm tired of going on Inkipedia and seeing that FUCKING word. I'm tired of being scared to watch YouTube videos focusing on lore and the story of Splatoon because deep down i KNOW they will say that word that has such fucking horrible connotations and meaning behind it...
Anyways. I think I'm done. I think I'm just in a huge ranting mode and I had to get it out, my autism was really acting up and i wanted to vomit this stuff out of me. I hope you guys feel what I'm feeling and if you have a character who you feel similar towards, let me know! Let the anger out. Okay?
Have a Callie for sticking around and actually reading. You're amazing.

I’ve had a question for awhile but asking Twitter isn’t the right place without starting a big fight that ends with people insulting eachother so I kinda wanna ask it here, just to have an understanding.
Today there was a moment where BBH said Roier had a pretty smile, and Twitter took it the wrong way, saying that people only say Roier as a toy to ship with people. But this happens every time someone even flirts or says a comment towards Roier. They say people “don’t really understand his character” or just “use him for ships”. But that is not true.
I’ve seen a lot of tweets saying that people who ship things out of spiderbit/guapoduo are romanticizing infidelity because Roier and Cellbit are married to eachother. I’ll use one example, spiderduck, because that seems to be the biggest issue.
Spiderduck was a thing before spiderbit was, sometimes even Roier fed into it, they have kissed, they flirt. But a lot of spiderbit fans say “it’s all in their heads, that ship isn’t real” when they have had their moments. But I’ve seen a lot of spiderbit fans being chaosduo fans. Spiderbit clearly has more development, remember that Roier is in Quackitys list of important people and Cellbit is not, and it can also be said that they are romanticizing infidelity as well if you use their arguments.
Most of the ships like spiderduck, spiderhalo, etc, that Roier has were a thing before spiderbit even became a thing. Roier was and is a very flirty character. I’ve seen the excuse that “it’s the fandom that ruins it for me” but that’s such a lame excuse.
And it’s okay, I get it (?) sure! But the attacks only seem to appear when the person who is flirting or receiving compliments is ROIER. No one says anything when it is Cellbit. It is like wrong or something for Roier to even be shipped or even joke around with another character without this massive hate coming in.
No one said anything when Slime makes advancements toward Cellbit (which happens a lot) people even make jokes and say “watch out Roier” or shit like that. And that’s literally fine, but they get so defensive over Roier being the target.
Is it something that I am not seeing or understanding? I just think it’s very weird for there to be like this possessive behavior towards Roier.
Why is it okay if it is Cellbit and it’s not if it’s Roier?
Keep in mind that I do like spiderbit a lot, I can’t seem to ship anyone at all with either of them. It just stinks sometimes because people seem to get possessive over Roier, and before anyone says this isn’t true I have the weirdest tweet ever said about someone’s take on this. There was also a big tweet a few weeks ago where a bunch of spiderbit fans agreed that they could enjoy Cellbit with another person but they couldn’t do the same with Roier.
Can someone help me understand why this happens?

Are you surprised to learn you have a bunch of thirst follows? It's bear season and we all want you carnally.
Yes!!! Gobsmacked, in fact!!! No one ever told me I was hot irl, like, quite literally no one. Before I met my boyfriend at age 31, I had had sex exactly six times in my whole life, each time with a different guy, and none of them ever so much as texted me again after they left. I've always been told I was ugly, or that I was too fat (even when I was very much very skinny, like I was literally a twink once, believe it or not), or that my cock was too small for them to want to meet me (even if they were total tops who never even sucked cock on the bottom), I've been told I was too gay acting, and I've been told I was too straight acting (like, which is it??????), or that they just didn't feel up to meeting someone with mental disorders. The reasons were different, but I've just always been made to feel that there was something wrong with me. And this isn't just a dating thing, either. It's always been the case for me with most everyone in my life, my family and many former friends included. All my life I've been made to feel like I wasn't good enough, almost like I was only there on a wild card and hadn't earned my place in the world like everyone else. And it's fucked me up bad, man. It's fucked me up so bad that I'll most definitely struggle with these issues for the entirety of my life here on Earth. Is it any wonder I have my doubts?? And I mean, I love these thirst anons that I occasionally get from, I presume, my followers. They really do lift my self esteem and self worth for a brief but precious moment. But they're also anonymous. I know a person wrote this to me, but the person is still unknown to me, and that makes it feel, I dunno, less real? Sorry, this is entirely too much self pity as a reply to a lovely anon on tumblr. But I really needed to say this out loud.

Do you ever think of someone, just ever so slightly, and then tear off a chunk of your skin?
( CW for venting about our mother under the cut, I guess. )
I remember, when we were a teenager, and our mental health had become so shitty that we felt like we couldn't continue living. Where we were experiencing near constant mood swings, destructive highs, destructive lows, hallucinating far more than average, stuck in a numb, dissociative fugue, etc. I remember how it got so bad that I finally took a first step and I reached out for my own help. When I communicated to my therapist for the first time that I wanted to go to an IOP.
I remember how I discussed it with her and my mother in the same room. How when we got back in the car after that session, she immediately asked what brought it on. I told her the truth, that I was simply advocating because I felt like I needed it.
She told me she was proud of me for my self advocacy.
She told me she would look into the pricing, and if our insurance covered it. She also told me that they might see that I need MORE than an IOP, she tried to scare me out of asking. I told her I knew, I told her they could also tell me I need less than an IOP.
Days passed.
I asked her again if she'd checked the price or if our insurance covered it.
"Oh, I'm sorry, honey. I forgot, I'll call them in the morning after you get to school."
Weeks passed.
Months passed.
Nothing. She didn't even talk about it to me ever.
I remember telling my therapist how she never even brought it up, how she seemed to ignore it.
I remember thinking "Jesus Christ, I'm going to have to slit our wrists in front of her to get even a smidgen of care." But I remembered as I thought that, that she'd immediately deflect it.
That she'd blame the internet, my online friends, my in person friends, YouTube... anything except for the truth
That I was struggling and in pain.
I remember how she always says how proud she is when I mention that I'm seeking help. That I'm GETTING help.
But I don't think she's proud. I don't think she cares.
A mother that loves their child and wants them to get help doesn't blame their child's struggles on everything else except the fact that the child is indeed struggling.
A mother that wants their child to seek help doesn't tell them they can't possibly be experiencing something, and saying they adopted all of this from the internet.
A mother doesn't punish and ground their child for coping with the fact that she didn't listen to her own child's cries for help.
I wish we adopted all of this from the internet.
I wish we were just lying.
I wish we were "normal" like we desperately tried to pretend to be for her, for so long.
I wish she'd believed us or tried to understand us.
I hate that she never let us get help back then. When we really needed it.
That cycle of "oh I'm so proud that you're being true to yourself / seeking help!" and "you cant possibly be this! you're faking, you're copying it from the internet, you're just fine!"
That is what made us like this. So afraid and angry at everyone. Terrified of rejection to the point we reject others first.
So scared that we can't just exist, and so scared of anything meaningful that we still suffer in silence most days.
But what do you care? You're just a person on the other end of the screen right? Just like us.
Who's to say this is the truth? Who's to say that we haven't made this all up, that we got the idea for it for some attention-gathering reason?
That's what our mother would say.
And that's why I have a fresh bandage on my arm tonight.

Man... I dont know how to feel about Splatoon being the only competitive multiplayer shooter that I'm actually good at. (Currently on S but I'm getting up to S+ again.)
Cause who gives a flying fuck that you're good at Splatoon. It's the only online competitive shooter most people don't take seriously because of art style alone. People are impressed when you say that you're good at Overwatch or Valorant or TF2 or something. When you say "Hey I'm good at Splatoon 3." People go "huh? That game is competitive?"
You know how many millions of people don't even know that Splatoon is this deeply in-depth shooter with a proper competitive scene? You know how many people just dismiss the competitive scene and don't even wanna bother looking into it? Everyone thinks it's a fun Nintendo game made for kids, and it is ofc, but, it also has official tournaments held. Something like Super Smash Bros. Melee was made for families yet that game has a long-lasting and highly serious competitive scene.
I just feel sorta bad that I'm only good at the god damn colourful shooter game made for children.
I absolutely suck at Overwatch, the best i got was gold... ON TANK!!! I HATE PLAYING TANK NOW BECAUSE ITS 5V5!!! The role I have more fun in is DPS yet I'm stuck in silver and playing that game gives an overdose of cortisol.
Oh well... at least Splatoon has Callie in it so... maybe being good at Splatoon ain't such a bad thing...

Small thank you post.
Just noticed that I've passed over 200+ followers, wow, what a timing lol Wish I could be more enthusiastic about it, but so many bad things happen.. I feel that I don't deserve to be praised heh. Anyway, I'm happy that so many people actually interested in my little drawings. I went through a lot of years of various events to be here right now. I know I should draw better for someone of my age, but eh, I completely my fault for not letting my mother teach me art when I was a child. She's an art teacher btw, and rn I look out for her a lot.
Sorry for being pessimistic, it's hard not to when you can only allow yourself to eat once a day if you're in luck and have no money to live. At least I've managed to pay rent for this month, so I have a warm place to stay. I won't ask for money help, for the matter because I'm Russian and it's hard to manage international paying systems when you're banned out of every single one for something you can't control.
Don't worry about me. I've been through worse. I'll survive, and keep posting silly drawings to run away from the fact, that life is not going to be better, and it's gradually only getting worse.
stay safe.

Magneta????
#my ideal: there's a gofundme or “therapy pool” where people can donate $20 - $25 so I can give peeps free coaching services#and down the road when I'm licensed have the same thing for therapy sessions#so then the people that want help most and cant afford shit out there can absolutely get services or try it out and see if it helps#and i get paid enough to not worry about losing my ability to help people cause I'm no longer in the pit worried about food and a roof#the thing i hate about this work is that i want to give everyone a chance#if we dont click and it doesn't work out that's fine but at least give someone a shot to try to help themselves#i hate that money is something i gotta absolutely think about cause im walking in the same shit as everyone else even though I'm a provider#cause my go to instinct is “person need help. help that person. if helping isn't working help person find another person to help them”#sorry for venting#2 client recently had to cancel coaching cause they just can't afford it right now cause The Economy (tm) which i totally get#i wish i could've said “that's not necessary. i can cover your next several sessions via donations from people”#im going off tangent#magenta#magenta is my vent tag

I always think okay I can accept my family is shitty, it's okay, I'll move on, let it rest, don't waste my energy. And without a doubt the moment I start to come to terms with it all SOMETHING happens that brings it back up. I am so tired.
#sorry for venting#y'all are my safe space and i feel okay talking about it here#and i think you can probably relate lol#tw family

If I had a nickel for every time someone I really enjoyed talking to suddenly deactivated their account

Which isn’t a lot but

I HATE when people touch/try to touch me without asking.
Like no! Do not touch me! I'm already so uncomfortable do not grab at me.
