the very nice guy who works at the centre was asking me abt my art and i was so anxious the entire time bc i didnt want to ramble or talk more than i was supposed to, but he kept asking questions and didn't seem like he was in any hurry to go talk to other members so i just kept talking and I'm like. so scared I did smth wrong w the amount i told him but fhdksl I didn't know how much I was supposed to converse with him and I was trying to be so careful in case he needed to go talk to other ppl but he hung around for so long (probably not even ten mins in reality but it felt like absolutely ages, i never get to talk that much with a person in a setting that isn't strictly one-on-one,,,, that was wild) so I guess ,,, i was okay ?? idk, im going to be overthinking this for the rest of the day now augh 😭

Hi I hope this question makes sense but how would I call out friends use of what might be aave? Im worried about being wrong and it not being aave/sounding like a white knight but I dont want to ignore it.
Hi! And no, you’re fine. If you’re not black, it’s always best to look up terms and listen to what black people say to begin with, that’s the most important thing and if you’ve seen black people talk about a specific term that you might recognize as being aave, simply let your friends know that they shouldn’t really be using such terms in the first place since at this point, viewed as antiblack and micro aggressive because Black people have grown tired of having to talk about this same problem over and over again. Especially when they use such terms directed at Black people. If they continue to use the terms despite being told not to, then you already know what they are.

You know. Sorry for another sporadic unprompted post about that friend who has caused me so much trauma in the past year. But I remember this one time his old high school friend I met once, he's really nice I liked him a lot. Cool guy. But he lives far away so they don't meet up a lot but they text. One time he sent this friend some pictures of us that were taken at a cooking class that he'd been bothering me into going to despite that it was all the way in Boston, there was a lot of walking to get to it, etc. And I was like constantly feeling sick and run down and exhausted from having Covid recently. He texted his friends those pictures of the two of us and his friend asked "Are you and Diana dating lol" like pretty innocently but honestly curious.
And he just replied "Are you fucking high" and he showed me and told me about it. Like. Like it was uncomfortable for HIM to be asked that.
Like his response isn't SUPER INSULTING TO ME.

the issue with genshin lore is that it has established time and time again we cannot take any given source in game as unalienably true not even stuff like basic narration in character stories and in fact you often should not because a lot of the information provided is written or told from the point of view of completely fallible not-all-knowing individuals that only says as much as they Could possibly know in their own position existing in the genshin world, which means you have to constantly be making assumptions and taking leaps of faith to try and piece together concepts as basic as “who the hell even gives vision holders their visions”.
like i think this is very cool personally and it’s been made a super obvious Theme that they wanna explore within the game with shit like zhongli’s entire first story quest or the existence of that sumeru scholar guy on watatsumi who is actively rewriting enkanomiya history bc it’s what he believes is right, but then this tendency often results in a lot of vague/subtle information that hasn’t been fully explained in game (bc genshin hates progressing its own story and expanding on things apparently) being forcefully made to “make sense” in an easily digestible way so players can understand the story and/or worldbuilding in simpler terms. which is a noble cause but then all it does is spread info that has never been confirmed to be true as factual canon and then ppl have annoying long ass arguments about this stuff over who is right and wrong wrt to random pieces of genshin lore when all along the only true to game answer we have rn is “we literally do not have enough info on xyz thing yet to say either way oh my god”
