#or reach out to old friends

[pippuns]

the only thing that could have improved SVSSS is if shen jiu was in the background providing scathing hateful commentary the entire time. i want to see him and shen yuan eat each other alive <3

#svsss #shen yuan #shen jiu #shang qinghua #og shang qinghua #pippart #im so interested in the tragedy of sj's whole thing #like there's the obvious bit #with a guy who gets replaced by someone else and its obvious that the new guy isn't the old guy #but no one really cares to look past their initial misgivings about the situation and just accept it #both bc of false rumors about the old guy but also bc he's just. really too wounded to connect with other people in any meaningful capacity #but im also just soooo interested with what shen yuan does with shen jiu's life #because its literally objectively better #he doesn't get tortured to death #he has friends. his disciples love him. his martial siblings rely on him. his reputation is improved on all accounts. he finds love. #he's more sociable and he trusts other people more and other people trust him in turn #but in order to get this result you have to completely divorce the old goods from the new #its a similar reason as to why im so interested in kris's whole thing in deltarune #is this something sj could have gotten on his own if someone had reached out to him first? #was sj ever in a place where he could have accepted a hand reached out towards him? #or was he always doomed to be his own downfall? #anyways. i am very normal about the media i consume. #obsessed with the stranger vibes of svsss SO much #hello fellow tma enjoyers that podcast permanently changed how i evaluate characters #hello tumblr exclusives you get the benefit of seeing my deranged thoughts in the tags #bc im too shy to just tweet this out

i knew this would happen. this is what always happens.

in my mind this is about two and jamie but take it as you like. he was still young, and he still hoped, and he still lost.

lafayette, orville peck // it was the animals, natalie diaz // i guess, mitski // S6E44 the war games: part 10 // mahmoud darwish // aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe, benjamin saenz // unknown // the garden of eden, ernest hemingway // a self portrait in letters, anne sexton

#doctor who #classic who #second doctor #jamie mccrimmon #ahhh brainrot my old friend #just something about being young and arguing that zoe and jamie should go before the time lords come #and him giving in so easily to letting them stay #he wanted them to stay #and maybe he thought it all turn out okay if he could still reach for them #twojamie #alright tumblr #LET ME IN

i find it so ironic that after a year, you contacted me first. it was something so insignificant, just a video from our past. and yet here i was antagonising having to be the first one to reach out between us. and no, we’re not fighting, we never were—but in my head, when i decided to ghost you last year, i knew i was better off than to keep hoping for something i wasn’t even sure i want. i did it for me and i never regretted it even though sometimes i’d wonder if you wish you did more than this, try more than me.

— anyways it doesn’t matter now that a year has gone by. without you, i let myself grow into someone better. i’ve found many people who are better, and i’m more sure now than ever that i deserve someone better. thank you for reaching out to me first, even if it was over something so insignificant, i guess it won’t hurt to send you a message in reply after all.

trying to use telepathy to urge people to contact me because I don't want to be annoying

#on a related note I wonder if other people think of me and want to reach out but don't #idk I feel like no one ever tries to reconnect with me and then I'm scared to reconnect with them #like I wanna meet up with old friends when I got home or something but I'm too scared to say anything

It feels like it was only yesterday I read about Oscar getting a mermaid girlfriend and now there's Ikasumi. I ship it, though! I'm curious what happened to the mermaid girl. Also, I think I'm experiencing what the rest of the guild is feeling when it comes to Oscar's lovelife, like since when was this a thing I want deets 😂

FUN FACT: HE STILL HAS THE MERMAID GF TOO!!!!!!!! this is what i mean when i say oscar has that playboy streak!!!!!!! hes like "Oh we have [problem]? I know someone who can help! ^^" AND ITS ONE OF HIS EX-GIRLFRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and FOR REAL this is oscars running joke. he always has things going on that for some reason he doesnt tell anyone about and doesnt bring up?? 1) his girlfriend changes often and 2) his other running joke is hes always doing part-time work at some different job every so often. mochi and coco go outfit shopping, trying to pick clothes, mochi like "What do you think of this color on me?" and oscar, somehow working at that clothes shop, out of nowhere is like "Nice it brings out your eyes!"

mochi & lime after some magic commission exhausted in a far off town, go to get dinner and sit down and the server (oscar) is like "Hey guys! I can get you a discount since I work here!" when theyre like "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE???" he replies "Oh me? My uncle lives nearby and im visiting him for the weekend so i decided to help out at their diner. Pretty cool, huh?"

they go to some festival happening in town, walking around stalls and theres oscar managing one of those hacked, rip-off game booths like "Hey Mochi! We have this fluffy cat stuffed animal that looks like your style! Maybe you can solicit Lime into winning it for you! (overworld challenge noise)" (which turns into an aggressive "I'm gonna win that fucking cat." vs "I own this damn game and you're gonna empty your pockets before I let you win it.")

anyway, oscar is a psuedo-cryptid in his own right.

#bpp #text #lore #oscar lore time #also a good excuse to like. get him to random places #this also plays into the girlfriend thing #(what are you doing in the outer reaches of the kingdom?!) (oh my girlfriend wanted to visit her friends so we took a trip!) #all his little jobs also means hes loaded #makes sense for the guy that bought a storefront home in the middle of downtown capitol city #his vibes are venti-like where they seem so sweet and nice but theres something obviously off about them #and anytime you question it youre hit with the old reliable (ehe) #actually a very real thing may be that we dont see oscars full love subplot play out in the story #may be just hints that it would go in a certain direction but it is left in the air #oscar hits me as the type thats not obsessed with romance the way the others essentially are #the only normal fucking person in the story #besides the arm

"grown up friendship is so hard" -- true BUT it has the added benefit of adults being genuinely excited to reconnect after long periods without contact. sure it's easier to make & keep friends in the vacuum of young adulthood, but now i can pretty reliably hit up friends from past eras of my life like "hey im in your city! it's been two years since i last texted, but do you wanna grab coffee?" and once you get past the first awkward five minutes you remember that you know each other and fall back into a rhythm. that's cool! and something you can only experience by getting older.

#and like do they always fit into your current life? probably not tbh #but thats ok ! bc its just kind of nice to like #be little time capsules of each other #evidence of lives lived and old habits and memories you might have forgotten #post brought to you by i am soon moving to the city that i know my childhood best friend lives in and im rly excited to reach out and like #reminisce about being 8 years old LOL

major same to the autistics have the "social deficit" trait of just having no desire to make new friends 99% of the time. like, you may or may not like HAVING friends, but either way don't feel like making them or socializing. my entire friend group and also my online friend group exists only because they adopted me into it and i decided to stay

#autism #actuallyautistic #seriously my friend mika just came into my tumblr inbox one day and bc i decided she was interesting i kept talking to her skdhksdjfhk #and atlas just DMd me one day and we started talking about loons #the rest of the friend group followed bc of them #meanwhile IRL i only have friends bc. i was the new kid more than 7 years ago and everyone decided to try to be my friend #about 2 of them stayed skdhfkdsjhfksjdhkghjskf i did NOT like most of them and judged accordingly #the exception is my best friend who i actually approached first! ... because i liked. her name. yeah. logical there #and then we didnt talk for a year and then HER friend got me to hang out with both of them and now they are my 2 friends #traumadump moment but i DID want to make friends with people when i was little i think. but then they were mean to me and i was like #''lmao nah im done'' and now i only hang out with people who prove they like me (as in. they reach out first) #but also even when i did want to make friends.... i didnt actively do it lmao. my friends were my cousin and my old best friend #and that was basically it

i just came out to a real life person and i think im having a heart attack

#IT WAS SO UNPLANNED I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT AT ALL I DIDN'T EVWN THINK WE WERW FRIENDS?? #she lives in the building next to mine and we go to tui together to divide the auto fare and we've been walking home 2-3 dino se #and she likes kpop and kdramas #but like there isn't that Spark yk like oh ny god i love u best friends forever its a little awkward and formal still #but we were talking about something and oh my god #when we reached home we were standing uski building ke neeche and she was like i want to introduce you to my childhood bestie i think you #two will like each other #and i was like kinda weirded out like um are we that close yet i thought we were just classmates 😭😭 #so i asked ki oh why all of a sudden #and she's like 'i like you' and i look at her and laugh and she said STOP LAUGHING i don't meant it like that im straight ok #and idk something in me snapped i was like oh are u homophobic too? #but pls she didn't know what it meant 😭 so i explained ki do u hate gay people then #she said no no ofc not SO I JUST BLURTED OUT KI good cause im bisexual #THE SHOCK ON HER FACE OMG im saying this now in freaking out now but at that time i said it really coolly and proudly without fumbling #my voice didn't drop down to a low volume or waver or anything (which im so proud bc she's like the first irl person ive come out to face #to face??????? i mean obv childhood friends don't count they're all gay #but anyway she was like OH and then SHE FUMBLED she was like oh nice i respect u very much and it was so awkward i was like haan haan shut #up just don't tell anyone very few ppl know 😭and she wasn't done she was like so as i was saying #we're growing old and real good friendships are getting harder to find and i like you (stop laughing!!) and i hope we don't jinx it #and she literally touched a wooden table lying there and said touchwood???? 😭😭😭😭😭 #now i am thinking why did i tell her she's so extroverted she talks to everyone we go to the same tui this town is tiny #she could tell everyone my parents could find out #but also a part of me is relieved cause im so sick of hiding something that is such a small yet imp part of me #and if she tells everyone then cool maybe there'll be more queer people i can't ve the only queer person in this town and we could be #friends and my parents eh they'd never believe something like that they'll ask me if it's true and ill say nah just rumors dumb kids #and they'll believe me because they'll want to believe me so bad #so no harm #i still don't feel very bestfriendy with her but maybe my standards are too high 😭 idk ig i can't see myself being friends with her #for a long time if we weren't forced by circumstances and i don't like her that much but im happy i got to say it #literally said it omg 'kyunki main hu. bisexual' FUCK THAT FELT GOOD

repetitions on a theme

there's a lot of things people blame for why fandoms feel like ghost towns these days, but no one's really talked about the way discord's contributing to it

#its like #people are trying to force fit discord's chatrooms into forum boards #except discord is just. really really *really* poorly setup for that #and theres no way to archive or share it so everything said in it is easily lost despite personal export or community pins or search option #and like #vaguely hearing about the way some people are unsatisfied with them/feeling unfufilled in the response to them #a lot of people would be better off posting those things to places like tumblr #where there isnt a time limit on when people see or respond to them #part of what's scary/frustrating on tumblr rn is some fandoms arent good about reblogging to posts or tag rambling #like with bad buddy a large part of the fun was the enthusiastic and in depth tag rambles and the way responses built on each other #vs something like kinnporsche which feels much more like-oriented #like? its not like theres any one way to fandom #and there's nothing actually wrong with likes or quiet reblogs #but vaguely hearing about the way some people were/are really upset with some servers im just kinda like #idk #feels a bit like people trying to force a square thru a circle or that they're looking in the wrong spaces for what they want #.......this is not a complaint for my space ajkds i think i've carved out a pretty happy space for myself! #im just checking the reblog graphs of some old vs new stuff and thinking about a convo other cookie and i were having over the weekend #i have a lot of friends around and i love everyone who's happy to ramble with me #but i do feel a slight case of DM burnout rn where mostly people reach out to me via DMs instead of reblogs #which is a very different dynamic #its like. hmmm words #i love DMs but the pressure of responding to a lot of individual messages #vs something like reblogs which is more open forum for everyone and feels more communal #if that makes sense? #the difference between visiting one person at home vs casually hanging out with a group at a cafe #and the lovely thing about tumblr specifically is that i can set down a reblog chain for several days if i need #before returning to it later when i have more time/energy #its got Longevity that discord lacks u know #........okay enough tag musings from me ajkfhjdgfhj BYE

In my experience the best way to find other apsec people in the wild is to first admit you are aspec. Obviously not a safe and open option for everyone but if you have the means and the confidence it’s fun to unlock more aspec friends from the wild unexpectedly

#aka I met another aspec person the other day because I was casually like #‘yeah I’m aroace so I feel like that influences my prespective on this topic a lot’ #and the guy who I had literally just met was like ‘woah we’re the same’ #and I was like ‘FOR REAL????’ #and then we bonded over aspec experiences for a bit #I could also just have a lot of luck #my NM friend has many times been like ‘why do all the aspec people seem to live in OH you know so MANY’ #and she knew only one (1) that wasn’t me ajskakskksks #🤷‍♀️ #anyways I’m not meeting a ton of aspec people or anything #but being out and comfortable talking and bringing it up to strangers has definitely helped me find more #it’s good practice trying to talk about it casually in conversation #by yours truly the omelette of cheese #aromantic #asexual #aroace #also I realize this is probably a no brainer but it’s fun #when you realize the stranger you’re talking to actually shares a lot more in common with you #or when old high school or college acquaintances reach out to you as another aspec person

Never try to be """"supportive"""" as my mother does

#she keeps reminding me I'm alone piece of shit #'you have to reach out of people instead of being so withdrawn' #this is fucking terrible because I do what I can FROM years and thanks for reminding me it all goes for nothing 👍👍👍 #even if some people tolerate me I just feel like a spare part #it's always like there's a group of people who are great friends and honesty nothing really bad happens if I would dissapear #because I'm always like a passenger #my mom told me also that I'm going to be bitter old maid if I won't change #thanks I know it 👍 but I'm already old bitter maid lol #'I know you're in spectrum but even autistic people have friends and raise a family' #thanks for reminding me that even as autistic I'm unworthy peace of shit #yes I told her that I don't want to talk with her about all of this but she kept talking and made me feel even more terrible #and this is being 'SUPPORTIVE' according to her!!! #i want to fucking cry

[mylimoji]

talking with people is so scary. love doing that, but also it's so embarrassing. what do you mean you like interacting with me. leave me alone (please don't) 😁

#al.txt #a very old friend of mine reached out and want to reconnect and i'm like dkkdjdjd yeah i'll go out with u. 🥲🥲🥲

#vent #wow I will never be able to let myself have friends huh #I am unwanted and inherently unwantable #I have it all figured out I just can't DO anything right. why is breaking silence the hardest thing to do #I can't bring myself to make/maintain/deepen friendships bc I'm convinced that I'm unpleasant to be around and unpleasant to be friends with #my company is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy #<- completely unjustified belief. I am kind and friendly and capable of responding appropriately in the majority of social situations #they reach out and I shrink back every time. no matter how much they reach towards me I can't believe that they actually want me around #and ofc the reasonable thing for them to do is stop reaching! when I never reach back! why would they expect a different outcome this time #so I can't blame anyone. I can't sit around waiting for a saintly mindreader who can see that my actions contradict my feelings #I know I just need to reach out. but how could I do that when I'm convinced it'll only hurt them? #my presence makes their day worse. I'm a mangy dog begging for scraps I don't deserve at their table. I am harming them with my presence #how can I beg for their attention and company and time when I know their life would be better without me in it #<- false belief. when I reach out I make them feel wanted and they feel more comfortable reaching out to me when they know I like them. #everyone appreciates being reached out to. I am pleasant to be around. they like being liked by me. my company is a desirable thing #company in general is a desirable thing. my company is better than no company. people like being liked. #logically I know all this to be true. emotionally? they hate me and I deserve it and the more I show I like them the more they'll hate me #sigh. what a banal problem to have. I'll stop being 18 years old one day. I can't wait until I have better things to worry about #replies appreciated. btw. in the interest of asking for what I want instead of expecting ppl to read my mind lmao #narcissus's echoes

Okay I lived and I'm normal now

#I had fun I feel optimistic about my future rn. I'm actually just literally going to be fine. #People like me I can make friends I can reconnect with old ones I can reach out more it can all happen for me. It will be okay #I love this friend so much she is such a ray of sunshine I always feel like this after we hang out it's just like she is such a positive #Force in my life........😭💖 I'm so grateful even if she's one of my only friends right now it's okay...cos she really does like me #And today she encouraged me to reach out to one of our old coworkers I used to get along well with out of nowhere and I was like #Okay you're actually so right. And you just saved my life possibly. #That's gonna be my goal for this week

Yooo guess who's back again! I honestly love your writing and loved how you wrote for the last ask I made, so here's another one for comfort bcz I need it lol

How about some head canons or somall scenario of the turtles(already into relationship, not poly) with them and the reader/s/o one day just chilling in bed, them doing their own thing, and suddenly the reader/s/o tears up and when the turtle asks what's wrong it's bcz the account of a online friend they had suddenly was just deleted and they're anxious bcz they think it was bcz of them? Just projecting a but bcz it happens sometimes and I was curious how the boys(specially Raph bcz I love him lol) would react to it and such

Thanks if you write it, I hope you have a nice day!

#1. I'm so sorry this has taken me so long to do.

#2. I'm going to do this as more of a Turtle of Choice post, hope that's okay!

Maybe it was the lack of sleep, or perhaps your brain was juts trying to play tricks on you

You'd searched and looked up your friends account at least six times and still it didn't show up.

We're you on the right app?

Yes, and you'd spelled their username correctly, so what the hell was going on?

You'd felt on the verge of a breakdown all week and the stress was causing tears to blur your vision as you furiously tapped your phone.

"Hey," your boyfriend came out of the bathroom, noticing your teary eyes and sat down on the bed next to you. "What's wrong?"

You shook your head, it felt foolish to cry over something like this.

"Baby," He cooed, climbing up into the bed and pulling you into his chest, running his hands up and down your arms and back. "Come on, you can tell me,"

You inhaled deeply, maybe talking about it would help.

"You know that online friend I've had for a few months now?" You felt him nod. "Well, their account is gone, and I don't know if they deleted it or maybe the app took it down.....or......or of they just blocked me,"

Your voice quivered at the last statement. You hoped it wasn't that. Sure you two hadn't talked a lot in the past few weeks, but you were both busy with work and such. You hadn't said anything wrong, had you?

"Oh hon, I'm sure everything will get sorted out," He pulled back, tilting your chin to look up at him and wiping away your fallen tears. "You said it yourself, sometimes the app glitches, maybe it's not their fault. And....and if they were dumb enough to block you for no reason then it's their loss, you're an amazing person, online and in real life,"

"Thanks baby,"

You tucked your head into his neck, taking a deep breath. It did feel better now that you voiced it.

He hummed in acknowledgment and planted a few soft kisses to your hairline.
