#genuine human friendship

[nateriverswife]

someone teach Near not to be afraid of getting close to others

#I already know what I want to see in the next one shot #genuine human friendship #I need him to get a fucking friend #or maybe a group of friends #that show him that even though it's scary #he can overcome this fear of intimacy #that opening up slightly to other people is not that bad #and I want these friends to have nothing to do with his work #I want them to see him for who he is and not L #I want them to be ordinary people that simply bumped into him one day while he was forced to go out with Roger for x reason #I want near to experience the boring ordinary life of anyone who isn't L or isn't part of any national agency #I want him to be more than just L #I want him to feel unimportant in a stress free way #I can see him thinking that he wishes he can experience the average life while he is with these friends #but then Rester sends him a text saying that there may be a new case he might be interested in #so he has to go back to his life as L #and it's just sad #seeing him just get up from the table #and his friends ask him where is he going because Near forgets to announce his moves because he's not used to it #and Near replies that he just remembered that he has to do something and leaves #and when he enters the HQ/his place #He realises that he actually feels kinda sad #but I mean he cannot stop being L can he? #death note #nate river #near #dn.near

if you call himmel pathetic i'm throwing hands at you. himmel showed the purest form of love for frieren and you guys think that's pathetic? what's pathetic is not respect other people's feelings or boundaries and acting like people owe you anything just because you like them. himmel was happy to have a friendship with frieren within her own conditions just because he genuinely enjoyed her as part of his life. he was happy to wait for her for his entire life is he had to but he also never stopped living for himself. that's fucking beautiful. loving someone so much you are able to let them go, not wanting to change who they are or impose anything on them? unconditionally, nonetheless? that's the point of life.

#either platonically or romantically having people genuinely appreciate you and having genuine connections with people is what makes life #worth living #frieren is a beautiful show about loss grief and how people change you just by being present in your life how they add to your life how #your true friends inspire you and how we keep each other's memories alive how love is timeless despite the finality of our human condition #and you tell me himmel is pathetic? #what a joke #i'm biting himmel haters like an enraged chihuahua #infection you with the power of love so you understand that loving makes the world more beautiful #besides frieren not understanding her own feelings at the time she always cared for himmel and the others as well #she just took more time to learn how to reciprocate and demonstrate the importance they had for her #because she isn't humans which is normal #a big part of life for everyone is having regrets and wishing it wasn't too late #frieren explores that perfectly #the friendships in that story are so pure and well nurtured #it's a shame internet culture rotted your brains so much that you think there's something inherently wrong with having unrequited feelings #and being okay with it #it's a shame you reduce such a genuinely good character who proved his will was above anything mystical to a 'simp' #anyways. himmel stays winning. #he put a ring on it too like imagine thinking he's losing when frieren is having dead wife flashbacks of him the entire show

I'm not sorry I still believe in love

Last year I was talking with some coworkers during our closing shift. The conversation jumped from topic to topic and then Janice [fake name] asked "Hey [Me], do you have boyfriend?" I said, "No, I've actually never had one." These women are all twice my age. I've known them for a few years now and I wouldn't say we're close friends or even best friends but I'm chill with them and trust them enough to know they would take a punch for me. They're a little confused about my answer and continue to press.

And before you say anything, yes we talk about nsfw topics at work sometimes so the beginning of this conversation wasn't really anything out of the ordinary for me. I stay in my lane and tune it out most of the time anyway. The spotlight was bound to land on me at some point. Alexa [fake name] yells from across the floor, "But you've at least fucked, right?" "No. I have not." I say a little quieter. Jane [fake name], pops her head in from around the corner, "What about a blowjob?" "No." "Handjob??" Alexa raises her hands above the endcap does a stroking motion with her hands. "Nope." Alexa has a quizzical look on her face and says, "You're a cutie, what do you mean you've never gotten down like that girl?" Jane hums in a agreement and adds "Yeah I mean, I lost my virginity at 16." You and I had very different bodies at 16 Jane. But, okay. Alexa leaves her cart of things in the aisle and makes her way over to where Jane, Janice, and I are by the registers. "If I were gay or bi or a man, girl I'd definitely go for yah." Alexa winks at me. I give her a deadpan look, "Thanks Alexa." Janice continues to count the money from the register, "But why?" I look back at Janice. "Why haven't you?" I think for a moment. "I don't know...I just haven't really met someone. I'm waiting for the right person y'know?" They all laugh and now it's my turn to act confused. Janice speaks up again, "Ohhhh I see. So you're still waiting for your knight in shining armor, is that right?" Jane chuckles, "To be saved and whisked right off your feet?" Alexa leans into Janice and says "Oh knock it off, she's still young." Janice hums in agreement, "Yeaah, life hasn't broken her yet. It's okay, soon enough you'll realize people are terrible, and princes don't exist, you'll see."

In the moment I just laughed all of this off but I knew, deep down, they were wrong. I shouldn't feel stupid for having a little hope...

I don't blame them for thinking like this. I know each of them have had their struggles. Teen pregnancy, loss, life has thrown enough shit at them for them to have these points of views be justified. But to say "don't worry life will break you soon enough." The thing is, life has. Time and time again. Believe me. It has.

I'm not sorry I still think love is real. I am, however, sorry life was not kind enough to you to keep believing in it.

#story time #long post #do you believe in love? #do I just have main character syndrome? #did I watch one too many animes about “the power of friendship fixes Everything!!!!” as a kid?? #idk man...I love love and I love genuine human kindness and I wish everyone could feel that way #Sometimes Loops writes real blog posts that aren't about wanting to f Loki (crazy concept I know!!!) #loops talks #random thoughts #Ignore me I'm just a hsp

I have seen like three fics where Desire tries to seduce Hob just to piss their brother off, and I'd like to raise you :

Desire telling Hob they want to be friends (just so they can seduce him and hurt Dream of course) except they end up genuinely appreciating his company and it's nice to see someone who loves the little things in life so much and he's not trying to hit on them which is kinda refreshing tbh and oh no, they really are friends now aren't they.

#Listen. Desire trying to 'befriend' Hob for dastardly reasons except oooof #They have been infected by the human disease called Friendship! Dammit!! #Also I think Hob would maybe think that Desire being flirtarious is just Desire being Themself and think it's in their nature #(while Desire is In Fact trying to seduce him like they could use their powers but #Where's the fun) #So Hob would not take Desire's flirting seriously and they would end up being genuine friends because Hob is very befriedable #And that's funny!! #And then Morpheus finds out and oooooh boy #It's a whole shitshow bc Morpheus is obviously convinced that Desire is doing this to fuck with him #(he has All The Valid Reasons to think that) #Except Desire!! For once!! Isn't!! #But admitting that they genuinely like this human now is kinda beneath them #But if they say that Yes They Did It To Fuck With Dream it would ruin their friendship. #A true conundrum #dripping stardust #the sandman #desire of the endless #hob gadling #dream of the endless

Why did you make this AU?

Short answer: I love unethical men.

#i have a Thing for emotional manipulation in fiction. originally i wasnt supposed to talk about nick on main #usually when i see emotional manipulation in comics or fics or else its too... obvious? like. not subtle enough to be... realistic? #i dont know if im making sense. but theres multiple things i think about when making nick lore #1) no one wakes up one day thinking 'im gonna be a bad person today ! :D' #2) no one wakes up one day thinking 'im gonna let myself get manipulated today ! :D' #theres gotta be plausable deniability *or* youre in too deep to even try to deny-- that wasnt your original question was it #anyway. to stop the rambling: i have a thing for exploring the worst parts of the human psyche *and* im a homosexual. #i want to see bad people who are genuinely bad people and there's not a lot of those so im making 'em myself #...nick isn't as bad as it could get really. he's pretty tame actually #maybe i'll make worse things one day #ask #powercoreact #and of course there's the fact that nick was originally a vent thing but that's a story you unlock at lvl. 5+ friendship #arsenic #omori au #omori

so I got to THAT part in trimax…….

#i have so many feelings #mainly because baby knives was actually a child and genuinely wanted to connect with humanity #i feel like this is another influence to vash’s pacificism but more subconsciously #because his brother saw what human friendship could be like!!!!😭😭😭 #but damn. tessla…. #that’s some genuine mood whiplash #trigun #trigun maximum #live plague reaction

starting to realize my only authentic relationship is with my cat

#i luv u kitty cat #im slowly learning my friendships are full of my fawn responses and it just feels so fake and im disgusted with myself #i love my friends who i dont talk to regularly but i know if i got any closer id ruin it and repeat the cycle #i just want a genuine affectionate experience i want to be able to have friends to have sex and be alive but it hurts too much im too broken #i can't even notice until i have a breakdown i don't even know who i am and i never have. how am i going to learn to be human

Wish i was better at competitve playing so when i make new "form" for a pokemon, i could actually think about their utility and how to build strategy around them

Instead of giving them ridiculous stats as an instant win button

#random #currently i only changed Seperior stats #And mightyena has stat of a garchomp with prism power ability #I've been thinking about giving Seperior a crest but dammit. The crest effects doesn't seem to work yet. #Contrary Seperior with crest that lower all super-effective moves against it :] #This is also sorta the lore for my OC coraline #Girl just injecting shit into her pokemon and manipulate their friendship via drugs #Only her starter Seperior has genuine connection to her. #She also works on human...sometimes #Dusknoir has a love-hate relationship with her

i made this a few months ago for a discord and i figured i might as well share it here too

#loz #legend of zelda #phantom hourglass #bellum #bellum is kind of a nothing villain but i like him #this image is basically the framework for how i write bellum's relationship with linebeck a lot of the time #the severity and seriousness of 'ruined your life' varies between aus n shit #ironically post-ph is one of the ones where 'ruined your life' is a bit hyperbolic #im in a talkative mood rn so im gonna have a little tag tangent going on #bellum is fun and like with this image you can take him many different ways depending on your own tastes and readings n stuff #recently i pinpointed some character i mightve accidentally based my take of bellum on and it escapes me rn #but i like to have him come off as a sort of brash young god sort of thing whos been very gung-ho about what hes been created to do and #represent and ive def leaned into him acting differently in different aus but backing it up with the idea that. hes immortal and thinks its #fun to try different things hwne he earnestly interacts with and among mortals. like in my crimson king au (the uh. one where he has a #homoerotic relationship with linebeck) his purpose behind masquerading as human and settling for a decidedly slower and more complicated #method of obtaining food and taking control is because he wants to challenge himself after years of just smashing through and taking what h #wants and because hes more interested in the more minute details of mortal interaction and how he could play along for a while #hes a bit more... whimsical? laid-back? something for the most part with linebeck because he's used to being a fuckin demonic god whos #mostly just playing around and not making attachments bc fuck it if he gets bored he can just eat these people and this one guy gets his #mercy and support because he's interesting and useful as a tool (and eventually as a source of genuine friendship. a common theme i seem to #have with bellum [perhaps as an accidental parallel or smth to the spirits n oshus] is him stumbling into finally understanding why #relationships are worth it? like a lot of the time his interactions with linebeck give him a new understanding of humans and he learns to #care about linebeck despite starting off seeing him as just an interested subject to watch or tinker with idk how to describe it #like in post-ph [ig post ph spoilers] as the fourth member of the main cast his main arc is abt kinda being forced to mingle with mortals #and ends up really caring and supporting these people and considering his own role and place in the world after kind of isolating and #surrounding himself with effectively a literal hivemind and loyal monsters and just reacting to outside forces with the intent to consume #and eradicate all danger so ig theres some parallel with linebeck too? bellum is a work in progress he's kinda a weird oc at this point? #when does an existing character stop being that and starts becoming an oc idk. its a weird line here bc bellum has minimal characterization #) anyways. funny meme or whatever. the discord seemed to like it im not used to sharing memes or whatever. #my post

when you and your brain demon have matching brain issues <3

#meme #billford #who needs romance who needs friendship these two only want: person who fuels their ego #so many thoughts can be summarized by this image #so much of their relationship prebetrayal can be summarized by this image. #people in the multiverse respect bill but they know he isnt literally a god #and people who know ford respect him but they dont tell him hes the greatest mind of this century #its not healthy for either one of them but they sure do love being endlessly told how special they are #once in a lifetime experience for both of them. ford being just barely young and naive enough to buy into bills lies #and bill *finally* coming across a human thats the perfect combination of gullible and able-to-build-a-functional-interdimensional-portal #who ALSO has the added bonus on top of all that of being genuinely entertaining for bill to spend time with #uh oh hubris alert #gods edits

as usual i am up late into the night planning my future when i should be: getting a good nights sleep so that i even have a future!!

#i have work in seven and a half hours. so i should really be getting to bed #BUT i officially made my final definitive degree plan!!!! i mean not the actual classes but all the requirements i have to meet and how!! #(in order to earn: history and information science double major. with certificates in material culture and classics) #and i’m genuinely excited for every single class i have to take except for human-computer interaction #just cause i know it’s gonna get overly technical in ways that won’t quite apply to my future #anyway every single other thing i’m gonna do is very cool and exciting. so everything is good really #but i should be sleeping. and i’m not. as usual 🤧 #idk wish me luck!!!! i’m so hyped about my degree plan though #i’ll go into more detail another time. i’m very excited #ANYWAY goodnight!!!! can’t be so busy planning my future in library science that i DONT GO TO MY SHELVING JOB #kind of important to actually go to work for the library that employs me…. #and then i might go see a first-printing roget’s thesaurus!!!! or i’ll sleep. we’ll see #followed by lunch with GUY WHO IS THE WORST KILL HIM WITH HAMMERS #(there is nothing really wrong with me he just keeps kind of being mean to me and also expecting me to fall in love with him. but like #extremely passively and not manipulatively it’s just like. hey buddy you’re doing this friendship wrong….) #anyway then i have a class and after that i have an hour to rest. and then a phone call and then a lot of homework #(ten page paper draft due in a week and a half!! so it’s time to start writing the actual body of it) #and then i sleep for a LONG time and then work again on saturday. and then sleepover with somebody i have a crush on?? #and then be normal all day on sunday and do a little more paper writing. and programming homework. and whatever else #and then keep up with the slog for three weeks!!!! and all of a sudden it’s summer!!!! #projects left this year: material culture paper (entirely unstarted. but may research the thesaurus and just win!!!!) #history project (draft due the monday after next and real paper due a week after classes end) #one more programming assignment where i adapt my recipe doubler project (probably. it’s getting stupid at this point but it’s what i got!!) #and a programming test in two weeks and then the final a week after that. then no more programming #and then i just have my weekly latin tests and a latin final on may 5th. and then EVERYTHING IS DONE #ok i got this. sorry for walking through my schedule in the tags it’s how i remember what’s real #can’t believe my fucking partner just kind of walked out on me there hello???? like. we should be powering through finals together #but i’m genuinely better off without him so i guess it’s just whatever. trash took itself out or something?? #anyway. i’m so regular. and i have work in the morning. and i’m going to sleep #thank you world. goodnight

there’s some valid criticism against kpop (literally watching half of army in real time turn into a zionist cult) but half the time yall don’t have anything interesting to say and you’re just racist

#criticisms against the fandoms idol worship and cult behaviour yes #criticisms against the horrible kpop industry and how these idols are very much abused and not treated as human #cand date or have friendships because they’re a commodity for fans and they have to be always emotionally ‘available’ #as if they owe us anything #fans feeling entitled to idols lives #do u know how many hate trains i’ve seen over idols in relationships IN THE PAST MONTH #it’s so horrible there i’m only staying bc i love bts but kpop genuinely scares me

Having a Wonderful time deciding that actually in my verse, platonic life partners/platonic marriage is a widespread and widely accepted thing just bc i want it to be

#obviously aroace ppl arent the only ones who can have/want platonic relationships that are deeper than just 'friendship' #but it is a typically aroace feeling/issue #kata's chatter #this is honestly mainly just in general bc it makes me happy #tho it is also relevant to 1) north and higgins and how they view their relationship #and 2) alden and kodiak who probably Would have been platonic life partners in their human lives #were they not yknow. outlaws and wanted criminals and all #just yet another level to both their genuinely v deep running friendship #and their absolutely infuriating level of pining

sometimes you will have an entire evening to kill doing an art project and see that the exploring series had a five hour episode for an scp called mamjul/korar and think "oh, i will have a fun goofy time listening to this" and

and it will. not be a silly goofy time.

#scp #personal #i feel like my brain has been rewired #none of my friends know a lot about the SCP universe but i gotta rant about this somewhere #and idk where the SCP fandom people go to talk #maybe reddit or twitter but ahhh im never going to those places #idk what the scp fandom looks like here on tungle dot hell #but i can't stop thinking about galanis and greaves #i think that's what got me the most #i really like galanis as a character and I'm totally biased because they're nonbinary and i love being represented in media #but unlike a lot of other scp stories galanis's friendship with greaves really struck a cord #probably because the story is so long i was able to understand the characters better skjdholshdi #like how they friendship developed from tension between their two groups to becoming genuine friends and greaves defended galanis #like i know scp stories end sadly like ninety nine percent of the time so i was prepared for galanis to die or something #but i was not ready for greaves to be the one who #well #he doesn't die #but he's never going to be human again or even care and that hurts EVEN MORE #so sad #it's somehow worse that he's still alive and I'm just so sad over it #but i am excited that galanis is being set up as a returning character bc i really do love them #and im so excited to see what rounderhouse is going to write about the aditum and the sarkics #the world building for amoni-ram and mamjul/korar was so detailed and well done I really applaud the writer for how amazingly they've #reimagined these classic SCP stories #just #living in my brain rent free #i can't stop thinking about them #im never going to forget greaves ough #he gets to go have his eternal god nap while the rest of the world goes to shit
