#what relationships do you prioritize

if the only time you bring up A Secret Third Thing is when someone has suggested generally celebrating or uplifting platonic/queerplatonic fictional relationships in spaces that ordinarily obsess about romantic ones to the exclusion of all else perhaps consider why youâre doing that and also stop.
#gav gab#im tired lmao#âi think platonic relationships are worthy of celebration tooâ#âBUT WHAT IF THE NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP DIDNT MATTER IT WAS JUST THE DEVOTION WHAT ABOUT A SECRET THIRD THING!!!â#cant help notice you never do this when romance is being discussed#:)#cant help notice you only bring this up when people want to be specific about enjoying SPECIFICALLY platonic or queerplatonic dynamics#wonder why that is :)#wonder what you actually mean is you want to change nothing about how you prioritize relationships#and also escape any kind of challenge to that#rather than just owning that you donât fucking care about platonic or queerplatonic dynamics#which is whatever just please be straight up about it#letâs not do this wink wink theatre please#TO BE CLEAR this is not about any time anyone uses the phrase ever#please donât come at me for that im not saying The Whole Phrase is inherently bad#just that ive noticed some patterns in when people use it and what brings it up

How do you sleep at night? No one to hide behind Betrayed every alibi you had You had every chance to make amends instead you got drunk on bitterness And you still claim that you're innocent, it's sad
#daniel ricciardo#dr3#christian horner#for the blacklists#I recognize that christian horner in a gifset is NOT the kind of content people in ricnation are looking for rn#debated posting this but fuck it#me đ€đŒ daniel: two bitches that love a depressing song lyric#it's about breaking free from a toxic relationship and the importance of prioritizing one's own needs#and that it can take a long time to recognize the dynamics at play in those relationships#and removing yourself from that situation can be just as hard and that just kind of epitomizes daniel with christian for me#in the return to rbr I think daniel trusted that CH would at the very least be straight forward and upfront with him#even if the end result wasn't what daniel wanted or hoped for#daniel could handle not getting the rbr seat#but something he couldn't handle was the truth that the one person he believed he could trust was gaslighting him and using him#and daniel had a light bulb moment - the point where you realize that sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to walk away#and so he got out#also this is obviously my interpretation of a relationship that I have zero insider info on and maybe they are chill now#as alwaysâŠthinking too deeply about people I donât know in the tags#also i recognize that this song is actually about a tiktok hype house but whatever rbr are that immature so it fits#this is my first go with this type of editing in PS so if you have any tips on style and execution i'm all ears#Apparently i also owe CH an apology bc i was so sure he didn't shake daniel's hand pre-race in singapore but he actually did and i missed i#during the breakdown i was having anyway fuck him still

no offense but i genuinely fear that their potential dynamic will go severely underutilized
#rick and morty#morty smith#prime rick#my biggest fear continues to be 'morty gets kidnapped by prime to bait c137'#because i think it could just. be so much more neat if morty and prime actually formed some kind of relationship independently. good OR bad#like idk imagine if morty is coaxed to join primes side out of some misguided attempt to protect his family#would sure be fitting for a character that clearly values his family and their safety idk!!!#and like. god imagine what morty mighjt think of prime#like he currently only has rick's perspective of prime. and obviously whether he wants to or not he sort of Has to rely on what rick says#idk imagine morty meets prime and hes like damn this dude is pretty cool. whether its because prime is putting on a deliberate act#or morty just Genuinely Thinks he's cool#ohhhhhhh imagine this is how they bring the morty mindwipe thing back.#prime would b like 'did you know c137 left the parts of you that disagree with him in a video game? isnt that fucked up morty'#theres just so much TO DOOO and im so terrified of NONE of this happening#bcs the writers seem to be physically incapable of prioritizing anyone but rick#LIKE GOD PLEASEEEE i know they only care abt the redditor audience BUT PLEASE do something ANYTHING with morty im about to start crying#went on a little rant lol sorry. can you tell i really like morty.

#this question is very hard for me to answer so obviously I have to torment everyone else with it#cause like. like I can really see the potential in either answer. both are feasible#I will say. most realistically. to me. edwin first charles harder#because I thinkâŠ..I think the reasoning behind the other way around usually tends to be about how edwin absolutely was slower to bond and#open up in general whereas charles hit the ground fucking running#but i donât think that particularly applies to their romantic relationship#if you mean âfell forâ in a general sense rather than a romantic one then yes 100%#but thatâs not what im talking about here#I have a few different reasons but generally I think edwin fell first because like⊠the way he attached himself to charles and accepted him#as his person and etc is so unlike him to do with literally anyone- especially at the point where they first met/the first years they knew#each other. charles just seems to have hit him as something very very special and irreplaceable quite quickly for him to open up the way he#did and change and flourish into a fully realized person because of how safe and worthy charles made him feel#he took to charles with an unusual amount of ease and trust and I think that says something about how charles struck his heart Early#whereas with charles⊠yes on one hand he did stay on the mortal plane largely because of edwin and absolutely wouldâve been impacted by the#tender act of mercy that was edwin reading to him as he died so he wouldnât be scared. thatâs absolutely what got him to trust edwin and to#want to be with him and protect him and so on#but charles would still do that and be like that under intense platonic circumstances I think#but most importantly I just think charles fell harder. when he fell is less important to me here- more important is that by GOD that boy is#down so fucking bad and outright SAYS IT in so many ways that he doesnât realizeâ the sheer amount he restates how heâs content so long as#heâs with edwin. how he doesnât want to be anywhere where edwin canât follow. would and Did go to hell and back for him. believes him#to be the kindest and most incredible person heâs ever met. prioritizes him above anything and everything. etc etc etc#thatâs not to say edwin doesnât feel a similar amount of devotionâ but charles just. really loves him with his whole person. loves him as a#fact of his existence and a piece of his very soul#idk man. it just feels like he is so incredibly smitten and he doesnât even know it.#like I said though I can see both options and give reasons for both options so this question EATS at me I GENUINELY donât have a super#strong feeling either is absolutely correct. itâs so difficult to answer theyâre both so smitten and have such a history and GRAHHHH#payneland#dead boy detectives#rambling#polls

it's kind of like insanely isolating that literally every aspec or "ace & aro" space I've found has been in actuality, solely for aces. perhaps arospec aces or aroaces who entirely prioritize their asexuality could also find company there, but even as an aromantic person who is also asexual, they're really not intended for me. so I can only imagine how isolating it must be if you're aromantic and allosexual
#I went to this aspec club on campus last fallâ and cliquiness asideâ they were literally talking about dating in there. like one guy was all#''I've been talking to this girl.... you think I should get her number?'' yada yada yada#like ok I guess this is just for asexuals then.#I can put up with hearing vague romance talk in other situations but in an allegedly 'aro and ace' club? nah fam#alsoâ the first time I went (I gave up after the second meeting lol)â we went around and introduced ourselves and then you could say what#kind of aspec you were if you wanted to#and everyone was saying asexualâ with maybe 4 or 5 aroacesâ and then when it got to me I said ''aromanticâ probably asexual'' and they just#all looked at me weird#maybe I imagined that. I'm bad at reading expressions#but cmon. imagine if I'd said aro straight or aro gay or smth#anyway I really do not like how the aspec community as a whole prioritizes asexuality over aromanticism#partially it's likely bc asexual used to mean aroace before the SAM was a thing#but I think its also bc people can imagine going without sex in a relationship (although they may conflate it with celibacy) (and not to say#people treat alloaces well at all lol)#(but the idea of someone eschewing romance entirelyâ whether they (want to) have sex or notâ is still widely horrifying or confusing or#scary to many people. including other queer people and including asexual people#)#I'd make my tag rant into an actual post if I was sure I could word it right lol#aro#aromantic#aroallo#aroace#non sam aro#o.

Does anyone fw the hyperspecific version of pre cogs inc firesaw i made up in my mind that I donât even know how to explain but itâs been on my mind this week.
I WAS gonna post my backlog of flint fridays but tumblr decided to not work so.
#lin draws#ttcc#toontown corporate clash#theyâre both here so#chip revvington#flint bonpyre#firesaw#shoutout tumblr user heaven-zent DO YOU KNOW. THE VIRUS THIS HAS AFFLICTED ME WITH#???? they even have a ship tag?#I cant find them but thereâs also mailmanâs firesaw sketches and stuff⊠where is it I need it for science#nooooo because itâs like. I think theyâre buddies but the relationship a romantic more intimate relationship didnât work out#thereâs my own aspects on how I wrote each of their histories and how that made them the way they are#but epic mutual brought up that flint like. lacks direction. he needs someone to tell him what to do#heâs literally describes as taking orders well and loyal⊠tunnel vision at times and good to work with#because he wonât talk back. flint whereâs your rage RISE RISE RISEES anyways#and then chip who like. I feel like he refuses to be vulnerable and open up even pre cogs inc#he refuses to let anyone in and prioritizes his work over everything including himself#gawd theyâre awful#they eventually reconcile and it was good but then override happens and chip starts pushing flint away and itâs awful

ive seen so many people complaining about people making joker sonic just so they can ship him with batman shadow and like i dont NOT believe the people complaining about it because that sounds exactly like something people who are overly obsessed with so/nadow to the point where they try to make everything involving shadow about so/nadow somehow even if its wildly out of character for him and/or sonic or just otherwise doesnt make sense would do . but its also wild seeing the complaining when i havent seen anyone actually making fanart of that concept . i feel like im dodging a massive bullet right now
#like did i already block/get blocked by everyone whos doing this . is it all happening on some other site . lmao#anyway my thoughts . sonic would NOT be the joker. sorry. if you think that he would#then youre probably just prioritizing the ship over what the characters' actual personalities are if that makes sense#and ignoring their entire personalities outside of some vague idea of their relationship to eachother#like ''oh sonic and shadow are rivals. so sonic should be the joker'' evne though sonic and the joker have like. nothign in common#like if you wanna make batman shadow kiss sonic dressed as some dc character okay fine i cant stop you. but why the joker .

'rhm and wilhelm trying to hang out but their duties getting in the way so much so their relationship deteriorates throughout the months but in a way that makes them prone to jealousy of others getting to spend more time with the other and unable to figure out what the other even enjoys enough anynore as a gift' for tonight sir?
#big thoughts about the 2 of them#you jnow rhm isnt gonna leave reg alone as chief and sees him as priority#much to his dismay thanks to the guilt he feels for realizing he wants to prioritize reg at the cost of#barely seeing wilhelm again#he doesn't regret the duty but sure does wish there couldve been a way to see him more often. yknow.#like cmon him hanging out with wilhelm at the orion lounge.... off duty....#the fact reg knew he's out n about to spend time with friends now that they're in space and (mostly) safe... brahhh#safety = spending more time with other people than it just being rhm and reg all the time#they would be the couple who love the other's company but slowly have to realize that#the other may not always wanna be around since theyve got other people too#only natural ofc but it could get so warped with what rhm's duty and loyalty is focused on heeheeee#main trouble with a personal vow is that you have to sometimes sacrifice another precious thing#even if it means time with ur best friend at the cost of them not communicating much and feelings#getting complicated#WOW BIG LONG THOUGHTS. sorry im ill for them now#it is just so cute to me tbe thought that reg would like to provide more time to rhm eventually so he can get silly with wilhelm#as leaders they sure gotta focus work before relationships and i do love me the fics that showcase that between rhm and reg#and how complicated it can get trying to separate work and love#now for me to think the same-ish with rhm and wilhelm

About the whole ADHD "finding a way to motivate yourself without using the stress of impending deadlines" thing:
I hate to say it, but learning to be nicer to myself changed a lot of that for me. I really truly hate to say it. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you gotta find a way to be nicer to yourself inside your own head, in whatever way works for you. I know it sucks so bad to hear.
The other thing is, if my brain is really refusing to tackle a task, often times the main thing I'm feeling is confused and understimulated. Which leads to me sitting there with the jeopardy theme song playing in my head, and then I unconsciously gravitate towards something that's more stimulating and therefore easier to wrap my head around. So overstimulating myself in some sensory way helps me be less confused about what I needed to do. Everybody's brain is different, though.
And uhh the other thing that helped is concerta, and listening to my body, and working on not being so ashamed when I failed. Which means you will probably have to fail a little bit unfortunately
#im so so so sorry#it sucks so bad because so much of what i found that works sounds so much like the trite advice we always get#you have to do it while being nice to yourself. if you try it while still motivating yourself through shame it won't workkkkkk#and the path to chipping away at all that learned shame is really individual and difficult#but the shame and stress are buddies that go hand in hand. they come from the same place#i had to make myself physically incapable of tolerating stress before i realized that it just doesn't matter#like you have responsibilities to your neighbors and loved ones and some of them are time sensitive. but HOW you complete them doesnt matte#and you just will mess up. there is nothing you can do about that. you have a disability. ADHD is a disability#''but if i mess up I'll face severe consequences. that's why i motivate myself through stress in the first place'' YEAH I KNOW IM SORRY MAN#it is still good to try and untangle the shame around doing tasks. it's still helpful.#even if it doesn't help you be more productive it will help your relationship with yourself and the world.#which is actually a really worthwhile and not at all selfish thing to prioritize. believe it or not.#anyway. love you!! sorry!! byeeee#personal#brain stuff

And if I make a full post talking about how Abby, Shannon, and Taylor were actually really interesting and compelling characters that were just wildly mishandled by the writers and weren't allowed to fully explore their own motivations or personalities outside of being a love interest then what?
This is a threat.
#abby and learning how to prioritize herself after spending her entire life caring for other people at the expense of her own identity?#and realizing she's been doing it even in her relationship because she's literally been teaching this boy how to be a good partner#and that's not fair to her no matter how much she genuinely loves him and it really was just 'right person wrong time'#shannon and feeling so helpless and overwhelmed that the only thing she could think to do was run away#and even when she was ready to come back she was so ashamed of what she'd done and terrified she would never be forgiven#and she didn't have the courage to take the first step on her own but once she was given the chance she was ready to put in the work#taylor and prioritizing the truth over the comfort of others because so much of her life was spent being uncertain about her own family#and learning too late that the truth and your career don't matter if you keep hurting the people you care about#and maybe she learns to be better but she already burned that bridge and your personal growth doesn't undo the hurt you caused#i have so many thoughts about the FLEET of women who were done dirty by fox not allowing them to be independent characters#before they tried to make them a love interest#911#911 abc#911 fox#abby clark#shannon diaz#taylor kelly

the thing is i very much understand the appeal of lupcretia narratively bc they are foils who betray each other and then forgive each other because the force of their grief and guilt brings them to an understanding and i also understand the appeal of blupcretia bc its a three person relationship who disagree on something major and split apart leaving one party feeling abandoned when the other two agree against her and what does that mean for the fact that the rest of their lives outside a horrible timeloop are supposed to start soon Because of that decision and disagreement like i get it narratively its interesting!! but hereâs the thing: i just have an unshakeable belief that lup is straight
#+ w/ regard to blupcretia the appeal of that one depends on the Assumption that romantic relationships are prioritized#yk what i mean?#like its only really interesting if you assume theyâre intending to also be life partners/prioritized in each others life#thats why the creeping feeling of betrayal in lucretia is interesting at all#bc sheâs assuming the three of them are a Unit#like thats why its more interesting romantically than platonically (still very very interesting platonically)#but i really donât think romantic relationships Are always prioritized and i especially donât think LUP of all people does so#the most important person in her life is taako and heâs just chilling in this scenario LMAO#he has no skin in the game so even if youre like yeah lup DOES prioritize him over both her romantic partners it doesnt⊠add any depth#and taako and lucretia have their own extremely complex & interesting dynamic and that doesnt benefit from lucretia being w/ lup either#like i tend to think taako and lucretia were already pretty close w/out lupcretia being a thing so that doesnt lend any more complexity#+ all that's not even to mention that i dont think lup or barry as characters really have romantic chemistry w/ lucretia#like i cant imagine her being part of their relationship in any meaningful way#that and i just really do think lup is straight#taz#mine

me having gone to bed at 6 am every day for the past week and generally spiraling mentally while rotting in bed waking up this morning: a 4 mile hike in the heat is a really good idea right now, and while we're at it let's start like 3 art projects
#maybe my mom was onto something all these years telling me i'm bipolar#no i don't think i am but i do technically have a bpd diagnosis so like. mood swings up the fucking wazoo are not new#but i am not one to be like 'exercise will fix me'#i've also just come to terms recently with the fact that i didn't kill myself already so might as well start thinking of the long term#so not being in constant pain when im older is something im actually thinking of now#so like. gotta move more which i was doing during this semester! walking like 3 miles a day which didn't help brain but#it's gotta be good for you anyway even if i don't get the endorphins everyone says you get when working out#that's neverrrr been me bc also chronic illness w exercise intolerance#so it's like. wah i have a desire to move my body more and know it's beneficial#but chronic illness + mental illness + trying not to think about exercise in terms of weight loss bc i'm trying not to make that the goal#although certainly wouldn't be mad if that was the result but if i prioritize it over just overall health it's gonna make me obsessive#i'm saying a lot of words. i have no one to really talk to so i once again come to tumblr as a public diary#ANYWAY. trying to find balance with wanting to exercise for overall well-being but dealing with other factors like chronic illness#which has actually been under the most control it's been in years i barely even consider myself (physicslly) disabled these days#and also balancing the fact that while my disordered eating has never recovered and i still have extremely bad relationship with myself#im in a relatively better place with that. i'm not starving myself and im not going through binge/purge cycles#but my relationship with food and eating is still very much unhealthy#and i don't think that will ever really change bc it's so ingrained in the everything about me#i don't really know what i'm talking ahout anymore or what prompted this#i can't simply just say 'i'm gonna go for a hike today' and be normal about. always gotta psycho analyze myself#im in a very weird stage in my life where i feel like i have control over nothing and i barely even exist in my own body#im just like a cacophony of voices trapped inside a meat suit but im not in the drivers seat im stuffed in the trunk and tied up#and the guy driving is an old blind mind who should have lost his license his ass is NOT road safe!#so it's like i have all these ideas and desires and feelings and ahh!! but hey i'm locked up here let me out please#and also the state of the world. so bleak and hopeless and paralyzing that i've just kind of shut my feelings off so i'm rapidly switching#between numbness and overwhelming agony#what the fuck am i talking about

Guy who has not dealt with his trauma and is actively unpleasant to be around and puts other peoples lives at risk numerous times for the sake of his own desperation + his friend who follows him around the world even though he could leave at any time and he'd be better off for it
#i personally do not interpret their relationship as either familial OR homoerotic but rather a third secret thing#the amount of times that cobb tells arthur to do something and then arthur just. does it#particularly in the scene where the team has just found out that if they die in the dream they could get stuck in limbo#of course some of this is the prioritization of the job especially since its yk time sensitive#but i do think its an interesting part of their dynamic#arthur understands more than most why cobb is the way he is and i think he also understands what would happen if he left#cobb would deteriorate and so arthur takes that unto himself#if you need to be mean be mean to me#maybe an obligation to mal and the kids too#arthur and eames is fun to play with of course but the arthur and cobb relationship is so interesting to me#arthur from inception#dominic cobb#dom cobb#inception#movies#film#arthur

I love queer stories I love reading about love and finding love and falling in love.
I want it so badly I want to have a partner and fall in love and have someone who is interested in learning me and we can learn to love each other the way we need. And the older I get the more the ache is there, this kind of like accepting ache that like okay, it might not happen for meâŠ..but alongside that lonely ache, I get a surge of huge powerful love for the love I have around me anyway.
I love community. I love queer books and music and I love friends and allies and other queers who get it. I love Pride, I love it. This world feels so fucked up but I feel like I have a found family who is strong enough to catch me when I need to be caught and people who feel reliable and sturdy and safe.
#prince text#just having a lot of feelings#I donât have an ideal love match in my head#but i do daydream wondering what it would be like to fall for someone who wants me back#wants ME back#not an idealized version of me#not a I Am In Love With The Idea of A Relationship me#not the convenient and prioritizes you over my own interests bc you donât seem to care me#maybe I wonât get that#but i have such a full life with the ppl around me#and things are scary but I forget sometimes that theyâre not scary in the same ways anymore#I have ppl I am certain about#and I honestly havenât had that#maybe ever#Saturn Rising is real#Iâm rlly sleep deprived it is bed time

i finished watching the uglies adaptation and it was mid...... except casting for shay was so good and i appreciate the racial diversity in casting. Idk I feel like adaptations should only exist if they have a vision for interpreting the source material but i am so so biased bc i wanted a sapphic interpretation of tally and shay
#im gonna get booed off the internet bc my favorite wlw interpreted relationships are written by men#scott westerfeld just understands women they all feel real and genuine which is no small feat in a book about getting plastic surgery#an inferior writer would've made it pointless fluff... but he's so cool#he has things to say and that's what makes the book interesting#tally and shay are not a HEALTHY relationship but i think shay being driven to the brink by her hurt over tally choosing guys over her#is given more depth when it's because she loved tally specifically sapphic pain of a man being chosen over u#actually though writing it out.... idk female friendship being the focus is cool too. maybe i'm pushing the romance agenda#when i say shay is in love with tally though you must understand#i do not mean she is attracted to tally and wants to kiss her i mean she wants to be the priority in tally's life and build a life 2gether#and looks out for her and prioritizes tally...... this is very vague ok i should shut up#SOMETHING'S GOING ON BETWEEN THEM IDK HOW TO SAY IT. maybe they do want to kiss#sometimes i get passionate over a ship and then i step back and go oh well I am grey romantic so maybe i should shut up about romance#uglies#tally youngblood
