Imagine getting in your f/o's way and instead of getting frustrated and yelling at you they tackle you with a great big hug.

@demialien replied to your post “i'm sorry i'm still thinking about "they were...”:

Where they written as brothers though? I have 4 siblings that I'm close to and I honestly cant see it. I feel like most people are so insistent on the 'they are brothers' because seeing people shipping them makes them uncomfortable. Which happens an awful lot in fandom. I wonder what people with DID feel about the shipping discourse.

​i don't think they were. they were written as alters.

i can see why people might jump to siblings. that's not a good description of the relationship, but i can see why someone might jump to it.

anyway, everyone i know agrees that shipping them is fine and normal and something that people need to be quiet about. intra-sys relationships are quite common, representing a variety of things.

(also most people who aren't in the fandom want to be left out of mk discussions. i'm touchy about this one because a few of my friends who didn't care about mk got pulled into a discussion about it and were very justifiably upset about it. this is just me sneaking in a reminder that there are lots of systems who HAVE offered to answer questions and you should not bug the ones who haven't.)

"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

I gotta say, one of the greatest achievements of my 20s was that I learned (mostly) to differentiate between:

"I truly do not want to go" and

"I'm just feeling the Demand Avoidance, and I will like it once I get there."

things haven't been great but i think they will be. eventually 🌻🌼🩷

I just love it when video games let you do really stupid shit that kills you immediately. I love being like "oh this is a terrible idea" and being able to do it and then die. It's good game design.

nothing makes me go "ooooh we are NOT the same" quite like reading some post about how people talk with their parents about their interests. what do you mean you told your father about stevebucky. what do you mean he asked further questions

me when i fucking Boop you

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

don’t worry about me. goodbye, big brother
