#but I love seeing friends type/say it

[mxgoldenwood]

I'm doing a little project on language development and it got me curious! (this poll is not for academic research purposes, it's just for my own personal intrigue. even so.) please feel free to reblog for reach because I want to KNOW

for purposes of specificity - this is asking about phrases that you enjoy hearing from friends, whether you add them to your own personal lexicon or not

#polls #language #slang #my personal answer is 'I do sometimes' (neurodivergent ofc) #because it's something my brain does naturally but also if I try to type it or say it out loud it often feels awkward/ironic #so the poll is prompted by a sequence of events like... I've been reading about slang and language development lately #caught myself thinking 'naur' in response to a minor inconvenience today #even though I've never typed it or said it out loud #but I love seeing friends type/say it #cue convoluted introspection that I'm now making everyone else's problem. ie I'm curious what y'all's experience is with this kind of thing

i think. for spot being in love is the biggest and most unexpected thing in the world to him he didn't expect it he doesn't quite believe it's real he can't get over it. and for race it's another tuesday. and this means that race says I love you first because it's not hard for him and race says it more often because it's not hard for him and race says it more casually because it's not hard for him but spot says it and feels it from his head to his toes and there are not three words in the English language that mean more to him than "I love you" to say. or to hear.

#ive long held for no real reason that spot is a poet #and i think he'd (exclusively in private with race) be the type of cornball to recite his own poetry to his partner in a quiet moment #i think spot shows his love in so many ways. race can just say it but the words get stuck behind his teeth. so instead he does things #makes lunches offers to do the shopping cleans up without being asked brings things home that will make race smile #writes sappy poetry soaked in layers of metaphor that only race has any hope to understand (and only race will ever get to see) #i think race knows how much weight spot places on the phrase 'i love you' and loves getting to give it to him so often #and also appreciates how much it means that spot says it to him and only him. #spot loves his friends but is not casual with I love yous. he will do things for them he will care for them he will stick up for them #he has only ever said 'i love you' to race #also his sister in aus where she exists tho. he loves her soso much #anyway. #newsies #sprace #spot conlon #racetrack higgins #race higgins #also spot Never gets sick of hearing race say it. doesn't matter if it's the first time ever or the tenth time in ten minutes #he's going !! he loves me!! in his head every time

#persona 4 #p4 #persona 4 golden #p4g #hanamura yosuke #yosuke hanamura #this scene gets to me because it reveals how a lot of yosuke's talk about getting a gf or meeting a girl and all of that is just... talk #on the one hand it's atlus needing the best friend character to fill that role of “lets check out girls!” #on the other hand it also reads to me as another facade of yosuke's struggle to meet his idealised conception of an average teenage boy #see it's funny because even in the first instance the role is always a bit deeper than it is #slight spoilers for p3 and p5!!! #but in junpei's case regardless of his flirtations he doesnt actually reciprocate or is even a potential LI for femmc #in ryuji's case when ann turns on the charm and offers to go on a date with him he tells her off and says that she should be like herself #i think that theres always a surprising level of nuance to be found with that skirt-chasing stereotype atlus likes to give us #i think yosuke's narrative here quite closely parallels junpei's in that theyre actually super devoted people #and yosuke has found an attachment to saki in the way junpei had with chidori so of course hes not willing to compromise on it #its such a mixed thing because even though he knew saki's kindness to him was probably faked yosuke's loyalty to her was already set #yosuke strikes me as the type of person that if youre nice to him once he'll follow you for life #i love that nanako was the one that responded to yosuke with like “oh like homework?” and yosuke gently plays along #its evocative of his tendency to shoot his mouth off only to quickly cover it up with a joke #but yu is there in the room as well listening and empathising and i think it was a moment that really #revealed to us (and yu) yosuke's underlying motivations and beliefs #even if it was sandwiched between the moment of yosuke trying to look at yu's prn #or perhaps especially because it was sandwiched between that moment the juxtaposition becomes more salient #that such talk from yosuke functions as a distraction from the anguish and ennui he feels about losing saki #he's good with his queue

The fact that q!forever got rejected by q!philza so many times to the point he gave up on love and decided he will only committ to the grid, but now has two guys fighting for his attention and love its truly romcom peek

yaoi smp strikes again

#and the fact both ships are sooo valid and okay #like i love 4halo a lot you dont understand #but max deserves someone who would worship the ground he steps and thats exactly the type of person forever is #lime UGHH WHY ARE BOTH SHIPS INCREDIBLE!? #goddamn cubicle gays not giving me one day of rest from their shenanigans #qsmp #q!forever #q!badboyhalo #qsmp 4halo #q!maximus #ohnanaduo #quesadilla smp #also important to say that although max sees forever as a potential lover i think forever sees max as a friend which hurts even more 🫠😭😭

your room was square

i once noticed from there

in your bed, as you slept

and i held my breath

everything had its own place

and i wondered what space would i take

in the order you kept

#in this drawing i wanted to use the song ‘Square’ by Mitski #personally i feel like this song is about being in love and trying far too hard to be the perfect lover that you are incapable of being #to me it’s like trying to see where you fit in that person’s life and not knowing where you belong in it #but then you’re still longing for that feeling of belonging there with them #so you self-destructively go to great lengths to ‘earn’ your place with them #i feel that the self-destructive behavior of trying to be that perfect lover just to ‘earn’ their love #is exactly the ‘burning’ that Mitski describes #it hurts trying to fit in but not quite succeeding again and again and again... #this is something that i think i relate to #trying far too hard to belong with someone who is 'only sometimes madly in love with me' #and says that i 'wouldn't be their first choice' #-that person kept switching between wanting me as a friend and a lover and now i am neither #and yet therein lies the problem: if i cared less and gave less effort #perhaps we could’ve worked things out without me trying too hard to “earn” their love #but why would i ever try to care less? #the situation was doomed from the start and i lost a friend in the process #i made this illustration to reflect that the best i could. I think the square motif was particularly obvious— #the canvas itself is a square and the illustration itself has to fit in a square box #everything else i drew would have to fit within this box to maintain the “order” #the colors are all some type of blue with not too much contrast except for the text eyes and teardrop on the figure #i wanted to keep contrast low within this illustration— everything should be “fitting in" after all #for the figure itself i wanted it to be clear that the figure is being forced into that square #its body’s being forced into that half of the box and even then its head is forced downwards #it’s clearly not fitting comfortably but it’s sure trying its hardest to #also also also!!! i wanted to do more angular shapes with this drawing because square and whatever lol :P #i don’t think i was particularly obvious in communicating that in the drawing though #but anyways i just wanted to draw to help process something that happened to me a while back :0 #i still think i love that person but just like how i don’t have a place in their life #i don’t think they have a place in mine and i think i’m starting to make peace with that :D #jaevyart

also ok maybe had a weird little freak moment yesterday :/ i was with lydia and needed to eat my godawful shitass sushi before going to the library so anyway who do i spot but the roommate with some random guy naturally and im like lydia pause i need to be a stalker but so casually for just like a sec. (this is in a downstairs like cafe/hallway/elevators area) so i stall and then we go to check for a free room to sit in and when there r ppl in it we just go back near the cafe area and theyre over in this little. alcove. of a sitting area. lounging. and im so normal and rlly naturally glanced over a couple times hoping to god the guy didnt see me cause luckily roommate was faced away. anyway. but lydias screenaging it up so im just sitting there awkwardly. and i have to walk past them at one point to get soy sauce to drown the sushi in and maybe that made me look like a weird little stalker too. well again this is if the guy even knows who i am and prob not so whatever its like fine. but like yeah and then i def saw them getting up and then on the elevator to leave so i think my skittish little creature tendencies scared off the vibe from across the room even... and i didnt just wave like a normal person bc i wasnt sure they saw me but we've spotted each other at much greater distances there's simply no way. i was treating them like what the kids call an 'opp' kinda... me when im an anxious little beast...

#and me when i type up a long paragraph abt like nothing happening! <3 #um. and i am overthinking and in my defense. ill lament one more time. HAVENT HAD MY ANXIETY MEDS IN DAYS. so plz be nice.. #and lydia joked abt how i was a little weird. which i was. but now im like fuckkkkk man we're never hanging out again... #they also went back to like one of my stories theyd seen this morning so its like wowwwwww so youre literally obsessed w me.. #anyway. still being so strong and leaving it to them to make a rain check plan if they wanna. and if not thats so hashtag chill #also ive barely seen sam this week which is like nice but i found out they last second saw the eclipse together #and again not that i think i would come up or w/e but i did have sam off my close friends for a while bc he was stressing me out. yk. #and im not sure if um... that would have become evident... doesnt actually matter who gaf #but yeah also naturally hes seeing one of the coolest most beautiful talented creative etc girls in the film major rn #on top of his little fuck buddy. and im not being a bitter little incel abt the fact that hes got bitches and i dont. #bc its like. whatever. too much going on rn to have bitches. tho ill stick to my guns in saying some good sex could fix me a little #yayyyy i love talking #abby talks

[vagueiish]

i don't vibe with astarion as a father for a host of reasons

i do vibe with him being a 'grunkle stan, if grunkle stan were played by bayonetta' type of relative, tho

#i say this as someone who fuckin adores kids but wants 0 of my own #the bat boy would make a terrible horrible father. as he is now. maybe in a few centuries if he worked on himself more? #i dont want to yuck yums but i also kind of wish i could see what some people are seeing because... #im not seeing it #he's the cool uncle/childless wine aunt combined in my eyes #i say bayonetta specifically because of that post with the gif of her and jeanne dressed in foxy santa type outfits and walking cuntily #about to bring on the toy reckoning for christmas or whatever #like. yeah. astarion comes to spoil the fuck out of the young ones and get them hyped up on sugar or whatever #and let them run around with knives. and then he leaves his friends who are parents to deal with the aftermath! #that shit's more fun anyway..... #more power to you if you can see him as a papa i suppose #the beauty of art - people get different things from it #to the void with love

Venti seem like the type of friend that would just hug you. No warning. And you ready know it's Venti whose surprise (attacking) hugging you.

this! you're barely able to stand on your own two feet as Venti pulls you into a tight embrace, rocking back and forth. he’d be koala constantly clinging to you and he’d even sleep right next to you! but you admit his hugs are really warm and makes your heart flutter it’s nice to have an accompany all the time 

and plus it feels like he was always there for you when you needed him the most. your head was resting against his chest and he kissed your forehead, breathing in deep.

"i love you," venti said and you felt his fingers twist through your hair 

"you know that right?"

"of course i do!" you gasped and pressed your face against his chest again, feeling his heart beating wildly. he has this stupid grin on his face while looking at you with those big green eyes of his.

#its up to you if you see this snippet as platonic or romantic! #even having venti as a friend he's the type to say i love you to you <33 #he's that one clingy friend lol #venti x reader #ellianswers #anon ask

just saw someone recycling ye olde "X character doesn't read as Y identity to me, someone who doesn't & has never held that identity & thus am not as intimately familiar with mannerisms, tropes & characterizations that are typically associated with Y identity. There is no evidence for X being Y and you guys are acting insane."

like. do you understand that you are using the EXACT SAME excuse that other people are using to shit on YOUR headcanon that you're so attatched too because it has so much evidence?

did it ever cross your mind that it would probably be harder for you, person who isn't X, to pick up on subtler tropes & identifiers of X that you've never experienced because you aren't X?

like you get how it sounds like you're shitting on other wueer people?

#blocking another god damn fantasy high account that i really liked #because when people say 'theres no evidence for your headcanon' and theyre wrong its bad and tbeyre erasing underrepresented identities #but when YOU say 'theres no evidence for this' you are good and correct and the rest of us are just stupid weirdos #like oh my fucking god bro #if i see one more person who isnt fucking gay say 'erm actually fabian cant be gay he liked girls' im gonna lose it #gay men also experience comphet! #and it's not because he's 'effeminate' #because he really isn't THAT effeminate or flamboyant #he dances and he talks like a rich boy and those are the only two things i can think lf #that make him seem 'effeminate' #but like. dude rides a motorcycle from hell. he fights with a sword and plays football #he punched someone on the first day of school & routinely punches and gets punched by his friends #like. fabian is wildly more stereotypically masculine than he is feminine #most of us think Fabian is gay because up until he took interest in Mazey #he had exclusively expressed interest in girls that were unavailable or unobtainable #his 'type' was literally toxic and/or unavailable women #which SCREAMS comphet to anyone who has fucking experienced it before #'yeah i love women but only the ones i cant have amirite lads' #'classic completely heterosexual man behavior' #anyway #i think its incredibly rude to take people seeing their lived experiences in a character and say 'youre insane bc i dont see it' #especially when YOU YOURSELF have a headcanon that a huge chunk of people cannot understand fully but accept anyway because they get it #because they understand seeing yourself in a character and how important that can be #unlike you #vagueposting #me when i vague for the first time in like 3 years

I am so sorry. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling for your family and people. Genocide Biden tweeting his support for genocide while bragging about gun control when my home town Just had the largest mass shooting of the year in this country. He is only in the business of selling murder. I don't know how to respond to something so mindlessly evil. We stand with you everyone in the world with a soul stands with you and Palestine

Thank you. I'm so sorry for the loss of life in your home town, may they all rest in peace. All those people who are in charge are supposed to protect their people but they don't. I think someone once said "once America excused the murders of white American children by mass shooting (sandy hook) that was the end", there's no way America will ever have gun control.

Biden is just the latest in a long line of murderous colonizers who supported and made everything happening today possible. He doesn't give a fuck about peace, none of them did, they only ever cared about their own selfish interests, no thought or compassion for the innocents in their path. They convinced the world not to see Palestinians as humans, because it made it easier for them to keep hurting and killing. Israel wasn't created in a vacuum, UK, US, everyone who helped, their hands are stained with innocent blood. What's happening now isn't new, it's happened all over the world, every single country and people whose homes and lives have been destroyed by colonists greed. We are all connected in our suffering and solidarity.

It shouldn't be this way. The world shouldn't be this way. I always firmly believed that there's good in people, there's good in this world and there is, I know there is, I've seen it. Those medics who are right now asking where they can help people even though they themselves are caught in a rain of hellfire and have lost family members. The journalist whose whole family was targeted and killed going back on the air less than 24 hours after burying his world because he wanted to be the familiar face of truth for so many scared people. The people still out there protesting, giving their voices to the Palestinians who have been silenced. Everyone who boycotted, or donated, who just cared enough to learn the truth. There's good in this world, but it's really hard to see it right now.

I thank you for sharing your compassion with me, but I'm sorry the world is this way. I wish it wasn't.

#im sorry to get so personal #this blog is supposed to be fun and light nd maybe I should have kept everything to my RL sm but its been affecting me over there even worse #and I just dont know how to process any of this #im sorry to type this out so calmly #im at a point where nothing feels real and I keep looking at my clock to see if time is actually moving #i love you and all my friends and everyone and I just want you all to know that bc I feel its important to say #imp answers #palestine #tw: genocide #tw: mass shooting

ok so. As You Like It takes place in france right. and you know what else takes place in France. beauty and the beast at least the disney version. do you see where I'm going with this

#see I was originally thinking rosalind as belle and orlando as the beast because she like. goes into the forest. #but he also goes into the forest #and I think making her the beast is an interesting play on her little crossdressing thing #kind of a twelfth night type of moment yknow #obviously the concept is a bit weird and probably saying some sort of nasty things about transgenderism BUT HEAR ME OUT!! #rewrite it so being the beast isn't a bad thing. belle falls in love with the beast not the prince yknow like hes not evil or bad #maybe it's even a choice and not a curse. for a reason #alsoooo she gets a FRIEND! and the beast did not have friends #also. touchstone as one of the little furniture things would be so fun #OLIVER AS GASTON!! but without the in love with belle part because well. they're brothers #hmm I guess that would be an argument for Orlando as the beast. because Oliver tries to kill him #SO MANY OPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #Rosalind is canonically basically a princess though and so is Celia. and that's the more fun option anyhow #fancy thoughts

Unsure the current trending opinions on Across the Spider-Verse, but:

Beyond the fact that the art fucks 1,100% and the way it made me look back on Into the Spider-Verse with incredulity to see how far back Across’ foreshadowing was set up-

It’s a coming-of-age movie, in the most heartwrenching and unapologetic ways. The whole damn trilogy is a coming of age story. It takes the nice happy ending we get in Into the Spider-Verse, and goes ‘No story remains wholly happy, if you don’t pause the scene after the kisses and hugs.’

And not in a bleak way, or at least I think that’s something Beyond the Spider-Verse will - hopefully - hammer home better than any of us will see coming. But...

There’s the whole overarching thing in Into about “No Expectations” and how this applies to both the expectations his family has and the expections of being a Spider-Man. Well, Miles did it. He had to fight that fight, and he won it at 14. It changed the course of his whole fucking destiny. 

And...Across the Spider-Verse comes knocking on the door and goes “Yeah, that fight isn’t one you fight and win once. The endless expectations that you subvert and slay at 14, are coming right back around at 15. This is a lifelong struggle, and old happy endings will always become more bittersweet as you get older.”

And, as Across has started to lace for us - and, as I think and hope Beyond will run home for us - it’s also going “And this is alright. It sucks. And it’s not fair. But also, fuck destiny and what’s expected of you, and you’ll find family to help build a better future alongside.”

Beyond being on the bleeding edge of animation and having a story being executed to precision, the Spider-Verse movies are also a coming of age story.

#something something 'this ties to the disillusionment we are left with from peter b & gwen & even peni after what goes down in the movie' #'but also the fact the same movie lays the seeds of them trying to recognize their failures and step back up to help miles and be better' #as like...what i think is a fucking throughline of a good coming of age story #because isn't that a thing that we all experienced growing up? a disillusionment with family or friends or the society around us? #and - at least in the good fiction IMO - it helps say 'hey. that's not right.' and 'hey make sure you're there for your loved ones' #and 'the world is possibly broken and almost certainly trying to break you down in some way. build a better future for yourself.' #'build a better future for those who come after.' #and that's something i think is so fucking important to see as a kid; and as a teen; and to be reminded us as an adult #the monkey speaks #into the spider verse #across the spiderverse #across the spiderverse spoilers #atsv spoilers #the best type of meta analysis #genre analysis

youtube video titled "TRY NOT TO SIMP CHALLENGE!!! (IMPOSSIBILE) (not clickbait)"

and it's just a 30 minute picture slideshow of Kaito Momota (a solid third of the pictures have him barefoot because his slippers kept falling off)

#/j #“simp” being used extremely loosely #i LIKE him hes SILLY and he loves space and his friends GOOD FOR HIM #characters that boost my oxytocin dot png #he's the type of guy that unironically asks “wheres MY hug? 🥺” but it's because his brain runs on See the best in people and Give affection #fte with k aede and kaito is immediately all for “teach me the thing you're passionate about!! space needs people like you!!” bro i cry/pos #he's PEAK quality time love language #also absolute peak character trope is “they're intellectually/academically savant and a MORON” #“k aede you're so right i was JUST about to say that!!” WHAT A LOSER!!! (affectionate) #you'd think id be comfortable drawing him by now and yet i keep being full of surprises (incompetence) #ooooh noooo guess the only solution is drawing him over and over what a shaaaame (not a shame) #shut up maiora

ok tell me. what's the typing mannerisms that i so evidently exhibit. i'm curious how exactly you knew (besides me being insane about my little fish man)

hmm okay so like. idk ur like very straight forward about stuff and also u don’t do capitals unless it’s for a Funny Moment. also punctuation and u don’t shorten words usually like “u, rlly, ur, im” etc. also like u could tell the propaganda was very excited but no FULL CAPITALS to emphasize stuff (which is usually what i do) and that’s like a very u thing. also the ‘fucking himbo’ at the end was so funny it was just like something you’d say

#also you’ve talked so much about how gillion is self sacrifical and has no self preservation and that was in the propaganda #idk why i can just pick out little things like this #like on the little like ‘what r ur opinions in me’ quiz i could tell it was u before u said #and i could tell bee’s bc i know she’s British and says ‘my love’ lol #i love stealing ppls things too i steal typing mannerisms from my friends all the time #like charlie (from twb not qfliporina charlie) did like exclamations with a space between like this !!! a lot and i stole it #hi charlie if u see this #asks #sky of stars #beloveds <3 #bc the writing was about gill it was a little easier to tell #if it was about some character i’ve never heard of before it woulda been harder :]
