flirting is so fun i wish i could do it

[napping-sapphic]

this is probably such a niche complaint but i REALLY like rhythm games and now it’s a problem because my Bone Affliction™️ recently decided it also wanted to manifest via constant hand and finger twitching and now i always twitch and mistap all the time and ruin my scores and it’s honestly SO devastating

[napping-sapphic]

want to SLEEP but miss kitty has her HEAD resting on my LEG so i can’t MOVE

[napping-sapphic]

I would be SOOO good at giggling and kicking my feet while thinking about you btw if anyone wants to come occupy my mind rent free

[napping-sapphic]

What if I wanna be holding you all day while you sleep? Would it turn into a soft play fight with lots of kisses and giggles that ends with us comfy in bed and covered in lipstick marks falling asleep in each others arms anyway or would it…. sorry I blacked out for a minute, what was I saying

AHHHHHHHHH😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫❤️❤️❤️

I don’t know but i sure HOPE it would omg hang on gotta go rotate this scenario in my brain for the next five hours

hello! i‘m back a little late. thank you for the candle :D and for sharing the linguistic-philosophical thoughts about the certainty and comfort of “doom,” i love getting to hear these things from people.

i‘m not a native english speaker, so i thought very much of a feeling i know and picked the word i thought would communicate it best to you. the word itself doesn‘t really reach me. i understand it and i can learn about connotations and the history of its usage, but i often feel like i‘m missing this subconscious knowledge native speakers (of whatever place) have, and i don‘t have my own personal emotional connection to this particular word.

in my own language, you can only express ‘being doomed’ by saying ‘something/somebody is damned to doom’, or smth like ‘faced toward doom’ (except without the element of personal agency sort of present here; the certainty is there, yeah), and doom itself is very much The End. it doesn‘t say that nothing new can come from the same place this thing ended, but this thing is Ending, quite dramatically and entirely. it kind of feels like it’s at once too, but it doesn’t strictly have to be. you have to add what exactly it is that is facing doom too.

i feel like the expression is pretty theatrical. it‘s very fairytale lol, it has that fairytale flare.

i don‘t imagine it‘s really all that different from the space ‘doom’ occupies in your language/dialect, but idk, i felt like sharing smth too 😅. i hope you found it interesting too. anyway,

i like your personal take :‘) i haven’t thought about my own feelings toward the expression before. if you ever feel like talking about this more or something else in a similar way, i‘ll be very happy to listen/read :‘)

take care! <3

Aghh speaking of being late!! So sorry it took me so long to get around to this😓

Thank you for the little blurb!! This was really interesting to read!! I love hearing how different experiences lead to different perceptions of phrases/words/etc. Reading about subtle nuances like that is always equally cool AND kind of scary to me like ahhhh how do i make sure i communicate properly when everyone has their own history and views of everything😵‍💫 like language is very fun and great and intimidating and perfect and every other possible descriptor all at once somehow lol

I do agree it has a pretty theatrical feel lol, i think that’s probably why i used it initially too! Since anxiety gives a pretty overdramatic view of situations, I think language can have a tendency to mirror that when discussing said situations. I think the overemphasis on catastrophizing can be kind of nice though since it leads me at least to consider realities that are less than ideal and accept them rather than repressing them or whatever else lol.

Thank you very much for sharing!!! I honestly had a lot of fun reading and thinking about your thoughts :)

[napping-sapphic]

Day off where i hold you in my arms for the entire day and we nap together

[napping-sapphic]

Our cat mostly sleeps with me but every once in a while she goes and spends a night or two with someone else in the house which is fine until she comes back to sleeping with me and forces us to be even CLOSER than usual as if i’m the one who kept us apart for two (2) days

[napping-sapphic]

IT’S MISS KITTY!!!

[napping-sapphic]

was feeling soooo cocky because i dodged the most common intense side effect of my new medication only for it to hit me with a godawful combination of three (3) of the less common ones instead🫠

[napping-sapphic]

they should invent a being alive that isn’t so so so lonely

[napping-sapphic]

I am once again thinking about when you’re hugging someone and they put their hand under the back of your shirt to run it up and down your back

[napping-sapphic]

What do you mean you don’t want to lay against me while we both do our own thing??

[napping-sapphic]

I'd volunteer to help with your dress but I don't know if my hands would be steady enough to be much help. 🫠

Ahh you are very sweet😭❤️

It’s okay though, it’s the thought that counts more than anything else😤❤️ and not to worry we’ll find an equally romantic and non-fine motor oriented alternative

[napping-sapphic]

If i dont have another woman zip up a dress for me soon i might pass away for real

[napping-sapphic]

i don‘t know what it is but i would like to think that there are always new ways you might find that will make it slightly easier to live with it? it‘s been that way for people around me, so i hope it will be that way for you too. also, apparently doctors tend to underestimate what all certain changes to your diet can do to help all kinds of physical conditions. i really don‘t know anything about your medical history of course, i have no idea what i’m talking about ! but i wanted to give you something to hold onto perhaps if it could fit, so that it doesn‘t feel so much like you‘re doomed for things never to change

🫶🫶

medicine and science are always evolving, there are new things being developed and old faulty ‘facts’ being revisioned every day. it‘s probably best to try to become okay with things not magically being fixed, but a sense of doom affects your life so drastically, so maybe change always happening is a thing to keep in mind anyway?

i don‘t know, i don‘t know

much love 🫶🫶🫶

Ohh you are so very extremely sweet thank you very much for the concern <3!!

I probably should have clarified, i don’t actually think i’m Doomed™️ moreso it’s that i’m still learning to cope with actually having a name and prognosis for the Thing™️

In my experience at least, even if I knew before I had it getting a lifelong diagnosis was just kind of intimidating and caused more anxiety than I expected! So like yeah you get those thoughts but I’m all good and aware that they’re just anxiety and not reality👍 I was less bemoaning my existence and more just surprised and a little annoyed by how hard it hit me mostly and wanted to express that lol, I probably should have clarified that😅
