Because something happened and I want to talk about it and it's gonna be a little venting but also a reflexion.
So my partner and I had this textual rp going on for a few days and I thought it was gonna be pretty long and I got super excited about it. Like, a bit overexcited.
"I'm gonna create two new characters and spend my entire saturday afternoon drawing them and I'll daydream about a secondary plot with them in it and it's gonna be super cool" kind of overexcited.
Thing is, since my partner was the rp master for that one, I didn't know that she planned to stop the thing soon and I got way too hyped and when she said "ok let's stop there!" I had a literal, physical, painful reaction and freezed for a few seconds. I'm not even being dramatic. It's just that the thing I had daydreamed about and planned for literal hours got shattered in an instant and I'm left with two characters that I didn't have time to develop and will never use again and their designs. Which is completely not my partner's fault by the way, I assumed all alone that it was gonna be longer than that.
We have another rp on the side so I'm not feeling too bad per se but that's what I hate about hyperfixations : it's taking over my whole brain, it defines my life for a time and if it's forcibly interrupted I physically feel awful. And kind of stupid because the expectations I had for this were actually way too high for what it was. And it lasted from tuesday to sunday. That's not even a week. What the fuck brain
But yeah this isn't the first time that I've been so into something that I was feeling immense pain when not doing it and oh boy oh man that is certainly an Experience™ because what do you mean my silly little rp came to an end and it gave me a literal headache from the dopamine drop
I have absolutely no regrets tho but I should probably go and communicate with my partner about this-
"Minsc," Astarion growled, his voice dripping with disdain, "Do you seriously mean to tell me that you came down to the Underdark with not a single health potion on you?"
Minsc smiled. "Why would Minsc need to bring a health potion when he is so strong, my friend?"
Pac: Oh man, what is this, what is this, what is this man? Where can I buy this? [Slaps his desk] I'll buy two.
Pac: [Laughs] It's very good man, very good. "I love you, Fítche!" [Laughs] You're going to think the worst, this is the worst phrasing you could think of. Like, I mean– a guy might say 'I love being fit, I love go to the gym,' but it was a certain way… I don't know, in English it seems wrong, right? "I love you, Fίtche" I don't know if that makes sense, right? Because it would have to be "I love fitness," right? There should be the 'ness' there at the end, right? Or am I crazy? My understanding of English there should have been an 'ness' at the end, right?
I think loveless aros deserve a thousand dollars for every time someone claims that love is the meaning of everything or love makes us human etc etc
"by love we mean all forms of love, including nonromantic!!1!" You clearly Do Not understand. Return to start, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.
There is no center of the universe, there is no unified meaning of everything, and there is no social or biological trait that "makes us human" besides the literal being humans thing, and any attempt to assert otherwise will other and alienate more people. There is no one emotion that you need to feel in order to be a good person or even a person at all
