as much as i would like for ppl to just be honest about their feelings i genuinely don't know if i could react to someone saying they have a crush on me with anything other than a mix of visible fear, disappointment, and just general distress. (or maybe insensitive laughter)
cuz my knowledge of how crushes work is that you don't have to even like the person. you dont have to care about them, or agree with the stuff they say or their worldview or find them interesting or even really want to be friends with them at all outside of romance. for a lotta people it seems to be that their attention and daydreams are fixated on the idea of dating someone else. and a lot of people regardless of gender seem to stop pursuing a relationship after they're turned down. or like feel "too hurt" or something to keep being friends with that person.
so if someone says they have a crush on me my immediate thought is like ohhh nooo this wasn't a relationship we were building together at all this was all like. a little play for you. like i thought i was making a potential life long connection/friendship but you were just indulging yourself in the company of someone who made your stomach flutter until you got the courage to ask if i wanted to date or not. and now that the answer is "that's not really how this works for me" this whole thing is gonna disappear.
(like i COULD "date" someone but only someone i was already friends with who i knew i could trust im not. gonna date a stranger?? thats insane. and sex is like barely on the table.)
LUCKILY i'm a disgusting recluse so this hasn't happened to me since high school but the FEAR IS THEREeee

Being a GG fan in queer spaces is so exhausting sometimes bc every time I try to talk about it transfems always make some sort of joke about Bridget like. Okay I'm glad you like her and I WILL fight transphobes to the death for her but she isn't even in my top 15 gg characters?
Like can you guys maybe stop enjoying this media at a surface level and making the same jokes at me, a person who is known to be insane about their interests? Me talking about how much I love guilty gears music is not an invitation to ask "is the town inside you" like no. That's a super mid song. I am talking about the metal, the hard rock, and the fucking pipe organs . I was literally talking about how much I loved Necessary Discrepancy? And love letter to the future? HELLO?
Idk I'm just. So fucking tired of people engaging with GG on the most shallow level and then attempting to joke with me about it. Yeah haha brisket whatever

having issues with men, the associations the instant distrust, which i dont like i dont want it i want things to be different, just all of it so much just the dynamic i have the relationship all of it the way the world is atleast online and having a younger brother. I wouldn't trade him for the world, I try and talk to him where I can and will continue to do so i adore him but i fear. i believe in him i want joy for him. I fear that his peers will feed him fckn brainrot and it scares me. not even just that he'll fall into that thinking that his fuckn upstanding that his unwillingness to follow ppl will hurt him. crazy shit at schools, like why tf r ppl dying kids young teens killing eaachother with knives? ??I don't want to loose him i don't want to see him loose who he is and the heart that he has i don't and i hope he rises above it all and will continue to. i feel like im stating what he has to be or smth but all i could ask for is his wellbeing, respect, humanity, that he treats himself well know what he deserves and has some sense of self, some gravity. I feel like shit sometimes for this aspect that i'm concerned that i just idk, i dont like the whole 'dont disappoint me' thing he owes nothing to me other than basic human decency and respect, hes a reason why i live but to i just that intrusive thought of there is no different the hell u think of is real about men to someone i hold so fckn dear to in a way show me their fckn fuckery its idk, like another? it'd hurt me, it'd hurt me bad.
i've never understood men or boys, amab, who go on about their connection or like protectiveness of their sisters of their mother but treat other women like shit like their familiars aren't women? you don't want to fuck them so its different? what is it like just whats the difference why does it have to pertain to you for you to care? do you care or do you see them as an extension? is it a personality trait for you? a 'lover boy' thing? a signal to women, women u imagine u want and is going to be 'ur woman' but u cant even like visualize them in a way that doesnt pertain to your sexual interests? a signal so people can say oh he loves his mother so hes good to go and prime? a 'mummys boy' ? are they not real women just because u dont feel that sort of way? talking about women that way with your friends? do i have to bring up the fact those same people could date your sister etc for you to care? those people could make the kids that surround your kids, your daughter. idk.
its like okay u want sex so u respect them less? did no one hear dont bite the hand that feeds you? what the fuck is going on. you cant fuck them so its all good? the demeaning-ness? lack of gravity, venom is just rapid, vapid
