#this happens more often than you'd think

I look up slang I don't understand, almost compulsively. call it the aftermath of middle school bullies constantly trying to get me to agree to gross, sexual, or otherwise Bad statements by using unfamiliar terms. but the upshot of this is, I end up knowing far more Hep Modern Teen Lingo than one might expect me to

a lot of my coworkers do not have this same drive for Slang Knowledge

a lot of my coworkers are substantially younger than me

so please imagine: you're a 21-year-old museum docent and this latter-day Victorian Goth lady in her early 30s is patiently explaining to you what "gyatt" means after some kid wrote it on the response board for the 50th time

Whenever someone goes through a specific tag to like/reblog everything on multiple of my sideblogs i feel like this

[unmechanism]

every once in a while, through their tags on a reblog, one of my mutuals will reveal that they have this random niche kink and I'll just think "cool mate" and like the post

Glammike but a kid should go up to Freddy during a Meet-N-Greet and mention something about playing catch with their dad and then Freddy looks them dead in the eyes like "haha I never played catch with my dad :3" before 4 beats of silence pass through that entire greenroom and bro gets looks from everyone send tweet

So what's your issue with Sai? /genq

I have issues with plenty of people. The internet is full of obnoxious individuals, and for the purposes of my main accounts online I quickly block them (it's what those tools are for, after all). That doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching from a distance, however.

Sai is just one on a long list of internet people that wreak havoc wherever they go. Most just don't seem to notice that because she often targets (or tries to target) people that the internet masses are likely to frown upon. Lily Orchard is ideal for this. A vast majority of the internet dislikes her or doesn't care about her. To me, though, it's about the same as watching any United States election since 2016. It's not about getting something good anymore, it's about taking the side of the guy who sucks a little less.

To put it simply, Sai and Lily are two sides of the same coin.

Lily just so happens to have done much worse things by comparison and Sai just so happens to have opinions on media most agree with and internet history that hasn't been picked clean. At the end of the day though, their personalities and way of interacting with the web at large are incredibly similar.

Both of them, despite repeatedly claiming the opposite, are hopelessly obsessed with each other. Both of them use what little amount of minority status they have as a shield against critics. Both of them love to argue, to the point where it seems it's the only form of communication they can navigate. Both are quick to cry cowardice when someone decides an argument isn't worth having and walks away. Both of them must get in the last word, always. Both of them feel that they are in the right all the time, and that anyone else is either stupid, immature, or both. Both of them often label others as sensitive until it's their own feelings that are on the chopping block.

The best thing that Lily could do, if she really wanted to hurt her critics and make them leave her be, is to simply disappear from the internet entirely and let the people leeching off of her starve. The communities based entirely on making fun of her would dissolve overnight. Lily would never do that of course, because she has the same problem as Sai (one also pinpointed by CrimsonEnder): she simply can't let things go.

Neither of them will ever have the ability to walk away from something unless they have the final say, no matter how small it is. I've seen them both revive petty squabbles that have already long since simmered down for the sake of just wanting to argue.

It's not exactly difficult to put together why Sai has so many "haters" when almost every public interaction she has is a argument. It's not always about some form of homophobia or sexism or difference of opinion. Pardon my French, but sometimes your personality just fucking sucks.

One thing about Lu Guang is that. He actually really likes hearing Cheng Xiaoshi say that he cares about and trusts him

[vickyvicarious]

Before she answered, that sweet, puckered look came into her forehead, which Arthur—I call him Arthur from her habit—says he loves; and, indeed, I don't wonder that he does.

Fairly sure I've made this exact post in prior years, but I don't feel like finding it again right now.

Mina calls him Arthur despite never having met him because Lucy does so often

Arthur has told Lucy he loves her forehead wrinkles

Lucy has told Mina that Arthur said he loves her forehead wrinkles

Mina immediately reacts with an internal handshake meme and clearly approves of him more

Mina takes time out of being worried for/curious about Lucy's frightening sleepwalking experience to admire the wrinkles herself, then think "too bad Arthur isn't here, he'd love them"

It's all so frickin' cute.

"why did you kill us??" "it was an accident!! so sorry!!! i brought you back as fast as i could!" "hmm... okay... well... did anything important happen while we were gone?" "nope! anyway let's go visit that githyanki creche right now immediately."
