#no i'm not explaining our relationship

[sga-owns-my-soul]

not to be disgusting on main but my partner does this thing when he sleeps where he has to be as close to me as possible and when i get out of bed when he's asleep i come back to him being fully on my side of the bed (often with his arm half off the bed) like he's looking for me in his sleep and i'm gonna fucking melt i'm so goddamn in love with this boy

I was at my middle school best friend's birthday yesterday (We'll call him M).

My close friend (let's call her N) was also here as she's also the girlfriend of one of M and I's high school friend.

There were a bunch of people I didn't know as they're M's new friends from Uni or Discord.

Anyway, N had to leave at some point as she was working early the next day. After that, I noticed how her boyfriend was always checking on me, engaging in small talk from time to time, asking if everything was alright...

At some point, he brought me a plate of food and told me : "Before she left, N told me to take good care of you".

I played it cool and cracked a joke but I swear I was crying inside.

I love them both so much. You know that thing when couples adopt their third wheel ? Welp, I guess I'm their child now 😌

TUA s04

I watched the whole season except for the last episode.

I didn't hate it so far but mostly because TUA tens to give interesting plot twists at the last second and I was trying to keep an open mind... That being said, I am quite disappointed in a lot of things this season.

And now I'm genuinely afraid of watching that last episode, there's too much to unpack so far and I'm afraid of the implications of some of the storylines being built up, I'm also very afraid that they're going to do the lazy writing thing and kill a bunch of characters off without any resolution or catharsis just to wrap up the story.

Plus I've been trying to avoid spoilers but I already caught a few glimpses that scared me.

This was my favorite show ever, I don't want it to end on a bad note, a rushed and lazily written bad note.

one thing i'm really really fascinated by is the fact that everyone in the modern pokemon world seems to consider the deities a power source, nothing more. the games generally imply that knowledge of the legendaries has been lost to time and legend and only preserved by a select few who keep to the Ancient Ways but i don't really think that sounds likely. i think they might be common knowledge people just don't seem to. conceptualize them as greater than in the way that we generally think of them. "this is a divine force that underpins reality and has been worshipped since antiquity" is not a thing that seems to have any problem coexisting with "i'm going to put this thing in an engine and make it my tool." and it's very frequently the baddies doing this which maybe weakens the point a little but very rarely is the point of contention with the bad guys "hey you shouldn't do that to god" that's kind of like, never the part of their thing that people object to. it's always their motives, never their methods. when the Good Guy (local ten year old) catches god and makes it their new partner, nobody has a problem with it! and people joke about this but i'm saying it might imply a way deeper facet of society than people give it credit for.

and is this maybe trying to force the round peg of pokemon legendaries into the square hole of actual religion. very possibly! the games aside from pla certainly seem only very occasionally interested in treating these creatures as gods or godlike or worshipped in any way, and far more often just want to treat them as regular pokemon But Stronger. so it's maybe not reasonable to try and say these entities are deities. but the problem is they are! it's not like this isn't supported textually, it's just... not a part of canon that canon is actually interested in. dialga, palkia, the lake trio, kyogre, groudon—these things are gods. canon can mince words and call them legendaries and "worshipped as deities maybe sometimes" but when you get to the point where you're discussing something that represents a fundamental force governing reality and/or can end the world on a whim then idc what you call it. that's a god.

but the problem is that they are gods and also pokemon, they're both simultaneously. and people in the pokemon world seem to have worked this out, and have had the collective realization that the gods are truly not exempt from their own rules. they can be captured, they can be subjugated, they can be used. this also ties back in with the whole anarchism discussion obviously but it's just the fact that like. it goes way deeper than everyone being fine with the ten year old putting the lord of time in a ball. the entire world operates on the premise of "eat your gods."

does that like... contradict worship? can you be faithful to something knowing it's been used as a tool?

wait no sorry one last quick immature bitch moment

the more I find out about how this person has behaved in both this relationship and a bunch of other relationships, the funnier it is how much they like to set themselves up as a like. authority on ethical nonmonogamy and consent and conflict management.

when like. they constantly sexually assault people to prove a point, pressure their partners into shit, got into enm by cheating on 3 people concurrently, and literally every time a problem in their orbit is brought up it gets explained away without anything actually changing, or they cry about how hard it is until everyone says OH NO IT'S FINE DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT

you know. very "call yourself a Community Organizer even though you're not on speaking terms with your roommates" energies.

transfem furries hornyposting online about the relatively niche/"out there" things they're into have inadvertently helped me accept myself more than the body positivity movement of the 2010s ever did

We love giving our master's pre-thesis to our apprenticeship tutor so they can proofread it, and all they have to say is that's it's "too political" and "too controversial", that I should "censor" (no jokes, they used that word) the extract of my field diary that's in it, that I should delete or rewrite one of my hypothesis and, finally, that interviewing teachers for my research is "too delicate".

i need therapy from being a twin fr there needs to be twin specialist therapists😭😭😭 every time ive been to a therapist it gets awkward because I end up 90% talking about twin stuff and they literally dont know how to respond or deal with it, honestly some of them made me feel worse by not understanding how much it can impact u and they want to talk about something else because they must think there's no way my issues can be so rooted in something so minor but literally the more I get to know myself literally every single thing is that at some point
