At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.
You must unlearn this.
You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.
If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.
i hope when gen alpha gets older we see a sudden swift surge in skibidi toilet gay headcanons. and they have their own skibidi toilet sonas that have paws and furrifyed features. and there’s discourse on whcih skibidi are morally correct to ship together. and the big art style revival of the given decade this is happening is liek sfm animations and i say i want this in a completely neutral way. not for it or against it. i just think it would be interesting to examine from afar as an outsider and smoek my biiiig pipe and laugh and shake my head not in condemnation but in bemusement ……. think about it…
a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints
ARADIA: first thing id d0 as a skelet0n is drink red wine fr0m a g0blet and have it spill 0ut everywhere. sec0nd thing id d0 is play my ribs like a xyl0ph0ne
JOHN: if you normalized something (non-awful) because your family did it and then realized it was not, in fact, normal or remotely common, i would love to hear about it. i'll start.
JOHN: the villain in my bedtime stories was always the president of the home owner's association and i was sooooo confused when no one else had heard of him.
JANE: When I was a kid, my dad and I would play that game at the playground where the kid stays up on the climbing structure and the adult stays on the ground to chase the kid. Usually the adult is like a monster or a lava monster, or something. But my dad always pretended to be George Bush?
JOHN: OKAY?
ROSE: My mom never let me roll down the windshield when we were on highways, because, and I quote, "the car is goign so fast tht the wind can topple cars". And I just... never questioned it until years later. Turns out she just didn't like the noise.
DAVE: oh yknow that game grown ups do with young children where they chase you around and go "oh youre so cute i could eat you up! im gonna eat ya!" that kind of thing
DAVE: ok well when my bro did that i used to go "no you wont you love me. also im your only brother"
DAVE: then my bro would go really silent and tell me that actually No i had another older sibling that he cannibalized. i only survived because i was a cute baby and he waited too long and i got too big to fit in the pot anymore
DAVE: and it would make me really angry because i knew he was lying but i had no way to prove it and he thought it was the funniest thing ever
DAVE: anyway i only found out in school when i was trying for a "lol so relatable" type of joke with my friends that apparently being told your whole life that you had a dead middle sibling that my bro cannibalized isnt a common thing that other families also do
