I think the best thing that our generation has normalised is having "online friends" . The bond created with these people is not based on their looks or their status but on the basis of their likes, their personalities, their favourite fandoms and their interests. You might have never shook hands or hugged them but still you are more comfortable telling them about your stupid mistakes and stupid jokes. The best thing about these friends is you don't have to meet them regularly to keep your friendship alive. And it's also the worst part not getting to meet them regularly or even once a week or once a month. From meeting them in the comment section of a meme to listening to their rants to updating them about our lives, online friends become our forever friends. It's a different kind of friendship but it's the cutest no pressure of any sort just two people sharing bits and pieces of their lives with each other and supporting each other.

People need to realize how the internet changes the context of things, because everyone acts like an authority or like they're an example of common public opinion when they're online. I recently met someone who had a lot of reddit environmentalist takes irl. And while those are things that would seem like serious climate takes online, when they say them irl in an actual conversation my internal reaction tends to be "do you need help, I don't think thinking about this is good for your mental health". And now I'm thinking of analyzing things I read online (or even say online) as if they were meatspace statements. '

Someone calling a kid's interests cringe. Imagine them doing that irl. Imagine how disgustingly unseemly an adult making fun of a teenager's interests to their face would be. Or if they're calling you out for not being good enough at something that's a hobby, imagine them saying that to you while you're showing off your hobby, imagine how terrible they look.

Someone has a hot take about how it's wrong to be attracted to adult women with short heights or flat chests, imagine someone telling that to a guy with a petite girlfriend. Someone tells you that enjoying a story with incest means you support incest, imagine someone telling that to someone reading an ASOIAF book on the train. Someone says you can't enjoy something with a problematic creator, imagine them saying that to someone reading Lovecraft on the train.

Someone has a hot take in activist space that seems really violent or somewhat facisty. Imagine them saying that irl, even with fellow activists. Imagine someone trying to defend Stalin in an actual human conversation, or trying to defend population control for environmentalist reasons.

I know I'm privileged to live in a large city and be pretty socially active, and even I can easily fall into overly online ways of thinking. But remember, even if you can't touch grass, you can imagine how things would be on the grass.

masterlist / taglist

personal data

born a female on a sunny day, she graced the world with her presence. as a first and last born she is her parents pride.

her parents, father, hardworking and loving, mother just as loving and hardworking.

born with no siblings, she grew up as an only child, happy to have her parents attention all the time. as she grew up, it was a bit annoying, but now that she’s away 2/3 of the time, she enjoys all the attention she gets from her mother and father.

racing career

she started karting at a young age, younger than most of the others. young and female she had a rough start, but always found her way back.

at 15 she started to race in f4, driving for CDR or chris dittman racing. coming second that season.

she soon was signed by prema in f3 where she won her first championship. she raced together with mick schumacher and she celebrated his championship in 2018.

they both signed with prema in f2 at the end of the '18 season and started racing in 2019. mick placed 12th that season as she placed third overall.

mick stayed another season with prema, winning his f2 championship, as you started your f1 career with alpha tauri.

when mick got signed with haas, she was happy to have her best friend back on the grid. she left alpha tauri.

languages

she speaks english of course, knows a little french from school and her mother tongue.

she tries to speak as many languages as possible, fascinated by them.

she asks charles, pierre and esteban to speak french with them, but she gets confused and overwhelmed pretty fast. she asks them to stop after like 6 sentences.

she also learned a bit of german, having spent so much time with the german driver. seb was surprised when she heard her speak german for the first time.

carlos repeatedly tried to teach her some spanish, but it never worked. the language just not sticking, just like french to be honest.

hobbies

her hobbies are drawing and singing. she also does some youtube videos around her life.

if she has some alone time, she usually has concerts for her stuffed animals (yes, she still has some, besides already living for herself. actually, that’s why she still has some stuffed animals).

or she draws, she likes to post her art under a fake persona, well her fake name isn’t as creative and some fans have connected the art to her, but she doesn’t care.

she spends loads of her free time with other f1 drivers, feeling lonely sometimes. they are happy to spend time with her, knowing the struggles to live alone at such a young age.

10th class was the best era. Everything went downhill afterwards.

[malencholic-nyx]

In the realm of my mind,

Where reality alloys,

Footsteps echo, Haunting,

As darkness descends..

Every sound, imagined or real,

Sets my heart on fire,

A sudden reflex, a jumpscare,

In this bewildering maze.

I yearn for a haven,

A sanctuary to call my own,

A safe place,

Where tranquility is gently sown.

I cannot bear to live in this state of dread,

I can't go on living like this,

In constant distress,

The world a minefield, each step a risk,

I yearn for peace,

For a haven to call my own,

Where I can heal,

Where I can find peace.

Oh,

How I crave a moment of tranquility,

To lay down my burdens,

To quiet the storm,

A sanctuary where I can breathe freely,

And let my weary spirit transform..

(Whispers in the Shadows) –Nyx

things i've heard college professors say pt. 15

-type “humpty dumpty sat on a wall humpty dumpty had a great fall” with no spaces and no regrets 

-I sincerely don’t sit around reading the wills of people from 16th century Stratford-upon-Avon

-do we have a federal department of education? *reluctantly* yes we do 

-okay. It’s 10:30 and I’m cold and mad. 

-I was assigned to read Macbeth and was like what the fuck, I want to play Nintendo 

-That sounds like something said by someone who wrote 12 historyplays 

-I googled today, which I really suggest you guys do 

-not to bring up florida,

-current event: balloons!

-(cytogeneticist) I make a lot of money saying I don’t know. It’s a pretty sweet gig.  

-*someone comes into the classroom looking lost* is there a meeting in here at 11?

(professor) no i don’t think so, this class goes until 11:30

*person leaves* 

(professor, turning back to the class) probably a serial killer 

-Yeah, and then Shakespeare was like I never fucking loved you– 

-The three typical sources of creative nonfiction essays are the unconscious mind, literature, or the trauma of our lives. Now none of these are technically untrue–

-you don’t have to be smart to understand Shakespeare

*alarm starts going off on student’s phone* 

OH GOD I’M SORRY IM BEING SMITED 

-“In which the men spend several hours taunting each other with speeches and thwacking each other with sticks.” Yes. That sounds perfect. 

-This is, like, nerdy shit I’ve learned over the years

selena was right 'what hurts the most is people can go from people you know to people you don't'

From the way they talk about our generation, I’m starting to think that "Z" means Zero, because we mean nothing to others.
