#people who are Too lonely

[ankerias]

my words arent working right now but @ that loneliness post ive been thinking about that for so long. ive had atleast a few interactions where ive tried to talk with someone who also waxes about loneliness and isolation just for them to like have to actively try to not tell me to be less autistic

#and my situation with heavy isolation is fucked up and weird its not 'just' autism but god its like. i do not know #sometimes people gush about loneliness very romantically but then spit at you when you agree from a place where your loneliness led to #never learning how to speak properly. you know. it feels like some people aestheticize loneliness and isolation and then are scared of #people who are Too lonely #& if you say something about something like that or the sentiment in the original post those people are so fast to hit you with the 'well #atleast i have people and you dont!' #i am. not coherent right now i dont think im getting what im trying to say out but man #same to a degree when you ask for like. 'lonely people how do you deal with X' or whatever #i see it a lot with like. moving situations/moving furniture etc #and someone replies with 'i have friends but/i have a partner but/etc' as if they like. need to make sure you know #obviously i dont think thats always ill intent as much as a note its just like. why do you need to make sure people know #like are you afraid of being associated with the situation of the person you are responding to? do you think this is contagious? #'hey other people who have been stabbed how did you get it out how did it heal' #'i have been stabproof my entire life i think you should try harder though'

Death Loves No One

Cause if he did he'd want to keep them forever

After obtaining the title as Ghost King and losing all his family, Danny started to feel lonely. He had friends, ghosts that would stay for eternity by his side but it wasn't the same. Danny felt that his personal connections were what kept him sane, the evenings with Clockwork calmed him down, but it wasn't the same calm that Jazz used to provide.

So, when he was given the title of Equilibrium it wasn't really a big deal. It was just another title among a thousand others, Clockwork advised him to visit earth to discover his purpose but also warned him that he would not look human.

Danny accepted it but didn't take it seriously, he couldn't help but get scared when people started screaming around him. He wasn't doing anything weird, he was visiting the cemetery, his family's graves, but everyone was running away scared.

He realized that since he lost Jazz (the last one to leave) he no longer looked human. He wondered if it was possible that someone might be interested in talking to him but dismissed it. Some people began to nickname him "Death" because all he did was stay in the cemetery.

That's why it was extremely rare to find a boy calling him every day and making a small talk, he became attached to the boy. The boy would visit different graves but always stayed to talk to him, never yelled, or called him a bad name. Danny couldn't help but love him the same way he loved his family.

He wasn't surprised that the boy died soon after (knowing him brought misfortune didn't it?), but he never stopped visiting the cemetery. So, when the boy rose from his grave completely disoriented, Danny wondered if it was somehow his fault.

#dpxdc #ghost king danny #Danny lost his family #he felt cursed after it #as if everything around him is destined to die faster #his family did not stay as ghosts because they were at peace #Danny never was #His lack of contact with people made him less human #because the halfa began to forget how to be human during his pain #and his core reacted to his emotions #changing his appearance #dc x dp #dp x dc #Jason was the one who visited the cemetery #he liked to leave flowers for his mother #and Danny never scared him because Jason always thought death was kind #and maybe too lonely #Danny wonders if the fact that he became attached to Jason led to his earlier death #or to a half-life like his #he's not supposed to love after all

also, okay, scar thought: so it's kind of funny that scar like, keeps on going "maybe THIS is the session i finally make friends again, maybe?" and then he gets hit with a task that makes him push everyone away EVEN HARDER. "i am trying so hard to stay hinged" says man who kind of doesn't actually want to be an unhinged loose canon but just. can't. help. it.

#secret life smp #secret life spoilers #goodtimeswithscar #feels like a strange encapsulation of his character. he's lonely. he wants friends. he's too much of a loose canon to keep them. #and only the people who are willing to accept he will sometimes just Do A Little Murder are any good at staying by his side. #like do you see what i'm getting at.

One of the most tragic parts of Oliver's story in Saltburn is the way that he started out as just a very lonely, socially awkward person who was, I suspect, genuinely looking forward to Oxford as his chance at a fresh start, a place where he was going to Do Better and Make Friends and Be Normal.

And then the first person to talk to him when he arrives at Oxford - all wide-eyed and dressed up like he's going to an interview instead of starting University - is some random guy who makes fun of his jacket.

And then the only person to talk to him at dinner is some guy who is immediately insistant that he and Oliver are doomed to be friendless loners forever, and Oliver shouldn't even bother trying to make other friends.

(And I think he did try to make other friends - the next thing he does after that first dinner is sit himself down in an empty common room, alone but approachable in a public space, while no one tries to approach him or talk to him.)

And then he discovers that even the professors think he's kind of weird, when his tutorial professor responds with surprise and almost discomfort upon learning that Oliver read the entire summer reading list. Academia was probably one of the few things he could take refuge in and be proud of himself for, if he managed to get a scholarship to Oxford, but now he's at Oxford and even his academic smarts aren't as important as knowing the right people and saying the right things.

Which is a lesson he learns when it turns out the other guy in his tutorial is the same asshole who made fun of his clothes on move-in day, and the professor forgives this guy for being late on Day 1 and takes his side on academic arguements even when this kid hasn't done the reading, because the professor had a crush on said kid's mom back in the day.

We see Oliver get bullied, we see Oliver get treated with awkward dismissiveness, we see Oliver repeatedly told that he'll never be friends with anyone at Oxford but Michael Gavey (by Michael Gavey, who never seems particularly concerned with what Oliver thinks about the matter).

We see that Oliver is unhappy, that he is alone, and that even when he tries to put himself out there in public spaces that he doesn't know how to make himself the kind of person that other people approach or talk to.

Until finally, he takes a more active approach and engineers a "chance meeting" with Felix.

And Felix thinks Oliver is great.

Felix tells Oliver that he's kind; Felix talks to him and touches him and smiles at him without reservation; Felix kisses his bike helmet while telling him he loves him. Felix asks for his name and repeats it over and over like Oliver is a name Felix wants to have in his mouth, and then he even gives Oliver a nickname that same day while riding off to his tutorial on Oliver's bike.

Honestly, it's no wonder Oliver's crush went from intense and maybe a bit creepy to fullblown obsession, when Felix is the first person at Oxford to seem overtly, openly, unreservedly excited and pleased every time Oliver is around.

No wonder he got so desperate to keep that feeling, even as his own happiness around Felix started being consumed by his fear of Felix getting bored of him, his fear of Felix abanding him. He could tell himself that all the stress, all the anxiety, all the lies and compromises to his own selfhood and integrity would be worth it, as long as Felix still looked at him like Oliver Quick was someone worth looking at. As long as Felix still looked at him like he was something special, like he was something good.

#saltburn #oliver quick #felix catton #i love One (1) sad lonely boy who just wanted a friend who thought he was Cool #a boy with a crush who didn't know how to let go and wound up going too far #felix made him feel *good* about himself #and then he fixated on felix until he couldn't imagine ever feeling good about himself without felix again #until he found himself in a place where he chose living in a world with no felix at all #over living in a world where felix smiled at other people but never looked at oliver again

thinking about how isolated jason was throughout his entire life is not for the weak!!!

as a child, he was homeless, both parents gone, and had no friends. he couldn't have been more isolated during a time where he should've been making friends in school.

as robin, he had no hero friends his age like dick, tim, and damian have. all he had was bruce and alfred. it didn't seem like any of the school kids particularly liked him. he was so alone during his robin years, those young teenage years where he should've been surrounded by friends and peers.

then he comes back to life, gets sent to a care home where he's unaware of everything, survives alone on the streets for a year, lives with talia for a year where he's just basically used like a science experiment while catatonic, and then he finally returns to gotham and literally just works alone. artemis and bizzaro come later on but even they eventually leave.

he was so alone and it's sad to think that he never got the chance to be a typical hero or child like dick, tim, and damian got to be

#the agony that is jason todd's life #why is he always alone #he literally has no friends of his own #artemis and bizzaro came and went #roy and kori are dick's friends first #the only people jason interacts with are the batfam #and criminals and children #he's so lonely please give him a family that will actually love and cherish him #give him a lover who will smother him with love #is it too much to ask for #jason todd #red hood #batman #dc #jason peter todd #robin jason todd

Hi hello, I was struggling with my Spooktober challenge, but wanted to draw something today, so I ended up with this:

He is Very Shape, so I had to lmao (I don't draw animals much, so it was a bit tricky, but hope it came out okay!)

Also, terkkuja toiselta suomalaiselta, meikäläisiin törmää niin harvoin :D

#oh no the boy #he looks like his soul is about to leave his body #what goes on behind those saucer eyes I wonder #the horrors it's gotta be the horrors #the shading and lighting are absolutely delicious! #so many good hues and shades #the orange purple and magenta #I use cool colors so rarely (practically never) so it's straight up ~weird~ seeing Machete with a blue color palette #but it works it makes him look even more out of sorts than average #I'm liking all the sharp angles on his ears #oh and the lone strand of fur between them! I draw that too! #I find it terribly flattering when I get gift art from people who say they don't draw furries/animals very often #because if they're willing to venture outside their comfort zone like that it must mean they really truly like the character #I only draw human characters under extreme and unusual circumstances I know how daunting it can be #to switch from a familiar subject to a more foreign one like that #so I see the effort you put into the piece and I appreciate it! #gift art #lumilasi #own characters #Machete #kanssasuomalainen! virtuaalinen yläfemma o/

also quite obsessed with karl being as detached from the story as he is. there's nothing that makes him have to be the detective that has to be involved, but he unknowingly dooms himself by agreeing to work with the KYAL cult. every other detective basically deals with elias head on except weissman, who only meets him right before he kills him. like he's right when he says "by my choices" because everything that leads him to being mixed up with the mannix cult is himself. it's the gambling debts and the choice to do the dirty work for an organisation he knows nothing about. he's the only one that doesn't encounter that body doing police work and it's specifically because he's told to cover it up. he gets himself into the mess and eventually fixes it but the fact that esther always dies in the doomed timelines and he's always too late even if he starts wanting to change things ("till this child. esther.") it just makes me very ill

#sorry jane who heard this on her dms but now im posting it to tumblr cause im having a category 5 woman moment. AND ALTERNATIVELY: #i am also EXTREMELY obsessed with how its a time loop and the idea (so sorry tumblr user whose post i have lost and was inspired by) #weissman was just so fucking hard to deal with that they made sure that he was in their pockets. i just like the idea of the loop-- #--having like. fixed points that elias would need to ensure the dystopia (body is covered up/the investigation closes/etc) but #how they get there is a slightly slower process and the earliest loops were the messiest/most unpredictable #and what we see in the show itself is like. the most streamlined version over hundreds of loops and attempts #so karl specifically. lonely that he is and determined to survive. AND with a cruel streak against people he doesn't like #kept nearly blowing their operation so they began to incorporate him in it instead #there's also another tragedy in there if /esther/ is what they realise works best against him.. #just love and kindness for a girl that weissman comes to see as family and they immediately exploit it after learning during an early loop #im ignoring specific plot points here (polly seemingly panicking when esther shows up at the station) but I DO NOT CARE. #THERE'S ANGST HAPPENING RN. IM CREATING SCENARIOS TO HURT ME #now if i could write coherently this would be written as a fic but im stuck writing too long textposts #karl weissman #bodies 2023 #bodies netflix #sorry to the other detectives. weissman in particular is my babygirl who i devote most of my brainpower to #personal

[goemon-fan]

I like how Goemon's design doubles as both a display of his intimidating nature at being a living weapon, but also as representative of his social awkwardness. Goemon's face consistently has a flat effect, and he is the character most shrouded in shadow, making him seem "scary" to the people around him. But, beneath the surface, when he is given a chance by someone, he's actually a very moralistic and kind character who simply desires friendship; however, due to lacking friends, he does not know appropriate social conventions or expressions, making him look "scary," thus fueling the cycle again. I similarly like how Fujiko is the reverse of this, in the sense that her attractive appearance and understanding of social conventions and what people want from a woman allow her to draw people to her for less honest purposes.

#i'm not including this in the main text but I think twcfm did a great job understanding the autistic experience #goemon's a honest person who longs for a connection to someone but his lack of expression drives people away #not to mention his lack of understanding social cues and his botched attempts to seem friendly as seen in the ice cream scene #he's too autistic to understand exactly why people run from him and this makes him painfully lonely #lupin iii #lupin the third #lupin the 3rd #goemon ishikawa xiii #goemon #fujiko mine #twcfm #the woman called fujiko mine

Had a pretty obvious revelation yesterday after spending my weekly hour agonizing over how maybe I should be a little less invested in fandoms now that I'm getting older, and that revelation is that if other adults can be loud about their interest in sports and invest their time and money into it why should I be ashamed to do the same but with the things I actually like

#sports are seen as a grown-up interest #but at the end of the day they work on pretty similar principles as fandoms #watching things. rooting for people. speculating on their lives #so who cares about what people like. we're all having brain rot anyway #life is too short to pretend being something you're not #lonely thoughts

i'm always thinking about this line

if escape rooms as team building exercises became popular im not sure if id be more excited or terrified

#if it isnt already anyway.. i can see it happening as a school frosh thing. idk if it would catch on as a workplace thing #i kind of find the concept of being locked in with strangers and working to find a way out weirdly exhilarating though #at least compared to icebreakers cause i dont have to spend 10 minutes racking my brain for something to blurt out abt myself #as a bonus u could like. put people into groups and give prizes to whoever escapes first second third etc. apparently they also do themed #escape rooms.. maybe let people pick a theme? or voluntary sign up? actually this would be really fun for smth like a blind friend date #although if i found out i was locked in a room with an online friend id be too excited to actually escape LOL #ive never done an escape room before so sadly i cant speak from experience. its like up there on things i want to try next to rug tufting #workshop and visiting new art exhibits or conventions. i seriously need to get out more if it wasnt for the horrors <- school and anxiety #i was planning to invite cass to a drop-in art workshop in town but neither of us could go bc typography is making us go thru hell and back #AND THEY HAD A BUTTON MACHINE TOO #im nostalgic bc i miss working in groups and not being awkward abt it or worrying abt schedule conflicts #i realized that i learn best in groups and its a little corny but i like sharing ideas and talking through a problem #in elementary i could just sit down with friends for review and come out of it energized *and* more familiar with the material #and i could technically still do it now. but as adults we're more picky abt who we work with on top of being way more busy outside school #maybe im lonely. im shy and grew up not talking to ppl unless i absolutely have to so its hard to make friends on my own i guess #only thing getting me thru it is telling myself that humans like helping and that my cringe is overblown in my head. but its hard #hence the escape rooms. i have been able to talk to 2(!!) people though!! mostly abt school stuff but im glad to be on friendly terms #i dont really know how to be happy these days cause im constantly scaring myself abt my portfolio and finding places to work #not being ambitious is part of not wanting to put energy into something that wont work out while also not having the passion to do literall #anything else.. i should probably talk to my counsellor ugh #yapping

[randomnameless]

Regarding Edelgard's "oh you can't understand the plight of the poor because you're highborn” reply to Dimitri's speech about people helping each other, i've heard that that was a mistranslation and the jp's more like “it's easy for you, someone who's never lacked for support or friends and doesn't know what it's like to be truly alone, to say that”; can you verify if that's true or not?

Teaspoon translations compared this line!

So while it's not as worthy as the lolcalised version as a Supreme Reply, it still sort of counts, because Hubert - who stands by her side in this scene? - is still ignored at large, just like Doro and Petra who remain by her side in the last map.

Or are we supposed to really believe Supreme Leader had no one who helped and supported her in AM? I don't believe it a second, it seems it is again another "uwu lonely" message the devs want to give us regarding Supreme Leader, which really falls flat when you consider how, as I said, her old classmates still fight with her. Or maybe she feels like she is lonely and has no allies who support or help her, but that's another story altogether (Hubert who?).

#anon #replies #i don't which is worse #the lolcalisation obviously plays on the poor/noble angle which is stupid and a lolcalisation exclusive line #but the original one is the “uwu sad'n'lonely” trope recycled again #that game really has issues with depicting people as being lonely when they are surrounded by persons who help and support them #at least Dimitri doesn't only mention Billy but mentions the his other friends too #But for Supreme Leader and to a lesser extent Rhea? #'uwu lonely without u uwu“ ”facing u i grow weak uwu“ #eff that noise #FE16

[autisticlee]

it kind of sucks when all your friends and family, everyone you know, are all pairing off and getting married and havinf families, except you. you're the only one that doesn't have a partner and probably can/will never get one. especially if one around you has time for you anymore, they never reach out, never get back to you, because they're only focused on their partners and families. you're stuck alone and drift away from everyone through no fault of your own. you have no hope of finding your own partner or no motivation to look for one for whatever reason. the lack of connections while seeing everyone around you having their own can get overwhelmingly lonely at times....

#autism #autistic #asexual #aromantic #these are probably the two factors that put me in this position #im undateable because im too autistic to form any connections with people and cant even make or keep friends around for long #so how would i ever try to date anyone???? #and also asexual which makes it harder. and aromantic (not sure what kind if its like demi and i just need to meet “the one” #and form a connection first to actually have any feelimgs for anyone or not sure if I simply cannot experience romantic attraction #either way its a lonely existence in a world where 99% of people pair off or obsessed with trying to partner up #and theres less value/time/effort put on friendships #ON TOP OF being autistic and forming any connections at ALL is an extremely difficult task that seems to always fail on me! #lee rants #lee rambles #im actually visiting a friend and her gf (who is also friend but we are less close) so i know not everyone partners and shuns friends #but they live in another country and i cant visit all the time so it doesnt help this lonely shit feeling all the time D: to have ~1 friend #would be nice to have all the close benefits and of a dating partnership without the physical stuff and pressure of “dating” #if thar makes sense. best friends but life patners. the person is obligated to help me and bw there for me at all times #someone who chooses me first instead of others. someone that doesnt make me their last choice all the time #their very comfortable to be around and we relate and get along perfectly and make up for each others weaknesses #my favorite person and im their favorite person #they usually always say yes to me and include me and im their first choice for eveything #they respect my needs and boundaries and work with me if we have a misunderstanding or disagreement. #its so hard to find people like this. someone who matches me well enough to fit all these picky things i want #someone who would like me enough to be like this. someone im comfortable with and like who fits the energy i want #even if someone liked ME enough and was these thjngs if they arent comfortable or match my energy then i dont want them #im not desperate enough to take Anyone ans im extremely picky about it #being aroace makes any kind of datimg very hard because theres ~less fish in the sea~ #but being autistic makes it EVEN HARDER becuase i cant even make and keep FRIENDS so how would i have a /partner/ ????? #sighs. i think im meant to live a lonely life and need to learn to accept it

bitches be like. i hate vegans so much that i’ve decided i like killing animals and its fine and i dont feel bad and animals dont have feelings and its fine and im cool subversive and different and edgy and like to post fucked up stuff to make vegans uncomfortable bc im just so cool

#you sound like every cishet republican man to me #you're not a Cool Subversive Leftist you're literally regressing by seeing animals as just objects of your pleasure and thats it lmao #im sorry but you dont just get to throw out all of veganism. it does infact have some roots in leftism. #you can sit there and cope with the fact you agree w some vegan talking point by calling it 'animal welfare' all you want #doesnt change the fact that a lot of those ideas in those circles were formed by vegans. #damn woooah vegans arent a monolith and dont all agree on the same shit woooahhh who knew #literally i have no idea how we even got to this point or how this would be surprising. #when i was on vegan twitter bitches were arguing all the fucking time within it. ur really gonna sit ther en tell me they're all secret #eco fash that hates native ppl and people who have to eat meat? ya sure??? #you would think the individuals on tumblr- of all places- would understand how frustrating it would be to be grouped in with the worst #members of their community as if you represent them and are the sole spokesperson #you'd think they'd hate when someone jumps to conclusions about them based on their lifestyle #but naur. i think yall take it too personally. as if a vegan just being in a room is somehow trying to force you to be vegan. #literally grow tf up. #if a vegan being in the same room with you triggers feelings in you that you Have to stop eating meat- i really think thats a you problem #bud. homeboy hasnt even spoke to you leta lone look at you and apparently you feel this weird pressure now #idk man dont you think that pressure might be coming within?? maybe.... you do infact feel things and feel a lil guilty abt eating meat? #not telling you to stop... i still eat meat here n there. but at least im honest with myself about how it makes me feel to do it. #its infact normal to take a second to think about the loss someone made in exploitation to provide you with whatever. #if you can let yourself feel a lil guilt about buying a fast fashion thing you can sure as fuck finally extend your fuckin empathy to #animals and stop treating them like objects or toys.
