All is well nothing’s wrong just thinking about Jocelyn seeing Clary and Ash standing together from behind and just letting out a lil tear bc of what could’ve been but was lost bc of valentine

#jocelyn and clary and ash bonding is a need #if it doesn’t happen in twp then what’s the point #like yeah I’m here for the romance #but I’m even MORE here for the parabatai and complicated familial relationships #that’s where it’s at #the wicked powers #the mortal instruments #the shadowhunter chronicles #clary fairchild #jocelyn fairchild #ash fairchild morgenstern

really wish my one friend would quit flirting with me. and trying to goad me into hanging out more. and assigning us fictional characters that are oh-so-coincidently either couples or with romantic tension. and then interrupting our gameplay to ask me repeatedly if I think they’re “like us” (which they rarely are…). and matching my icon on discord without asking (again, usually by insinuating a couple connection). and giving me random things I do not want and did not ask to receive (and then forcing me to take them???).

#storyrambles #it’s not creepy. just for context. it’s just irritating because I’ve told this person repeatedly that I’m not interested in romance.#this person is also naturally a huge romantic so it is next to impossible to tell whether it’s actual flirtation or just flirting for fun #flirting for fun is cool. I wouldn’t mind that. but if I do it once this person will take that as an invitation to do it an excessive amoun #but yeah after being given 12 roses out of the blue when I said ‘no don’t buy me flowers’. there’s only so many things that can mean #‘it’s nice to see your face you always cover it!’ …I’m masking. because of covid #I’m narrating a game and suddenly ‘I like hearing your voice I should call you every day so I can hear it for 10 minutes’. …no.#‘you have to take the snack I brought you know it’s rude to refuse a gift’ I have never refused a gift. It is rude. But also I didn’t ask.#‘you know this game is one you can play without talking so we can play more often!’ we already play games once a week for usually 3 hours.#‘but it’s not talking so it’s less social energy’ no. that is not how it works.#sorry for the rant im just. tired.#you know those people who are so pleasant to hang out with and then they try way too hard #and that’s actually what makes things awkward? rather than when they’re just being themselves?#yeah. that’s this friend here.#usually I go along with the bit but when I can never tell when the bit is actually a bit #and you insist on me taking on the ‘girl role’ for most of them #I am not going to play along.#UGH don’t get me started on the ‘you’re cute when you’re flustered’#I wasn’t even flustered. I was trying to do mental math while running on four hours of sleep and he was staring directly at me #it’s uncomfortable.#also. I never want to hear that again. fuck. ‘you’re cute when you’re angry’ ‘you’re cute when you’re upset’ ALL THE FUCKING TIME AS A KID #will I be so cute after I kick you in the nuts? will I?#(for clarity I don’t want to kick him. I want to kick those other people.)#I need a lot of alone time. I really do. I can do 3 hours and then I will be drained for the rest of the day.#‘how did you grow up? did you not talk to your mom for more than 3 hours a day?’#first of all. that’s different?#secondly we actually regularly do separate things without talking to each other. or go in separate rooms to take some time to ourselves #also I don’t have to be on high alert for if I’m going to be flirted with. so.#ugh. I like him as a friend. I really do. I know this all makes it seem like the opposite. I try so hard to be as nice as possible.#but UGHHHHHH

i think that if they do a whole “hurt the nice guy on the way to ur real love” thing with manny i’ll be a lil disappointed honestly. don’t get me wrong i still love gregory but i just feel like quinta and the team are more creative than that

#nothing has been exactly what we expect and I hope they continue to subvert those norms in the usually fun ways that they do #like I understand that Janine is finding herself and being selfish with her time and goals #and I’m very much here for that #but I think they can do that and explore whatever might or might not be there with manny and eventually Gregory #without being shitty to manny in the process #I just hate that trope in romance stuff #there’s absolutely something to be said for the importance and beauty of new experiences and yeah sometimes being with someone else #shows you what you really want #but there’s a way to do that without being horrible and gross #and I think if anyone can find it it’s Janine and Quinta #abbott elementary #janine teagues #ae s3

so yesterday i experienced my first fictional crush and it’s been downhill from there

#so like i know i have a flawed experience with romance (confused arospec here)#but i really don’t know what else to call it so i’m just saying it’s a fictional crush it feels right #‘but jaye you have said you are ‘in love with’ so many times about so many different characters’ here’s the thing:#most times i say that it’s because i either heavily relate to them or i live the person they are played by #so like not like an actual ‘crush’ (i really don’t know what that feels like)#but yeah anyway i am absolutely in love (my own definition of love) with this character #and i’m way to scared to say who it is so i will refrain from doing so i don’t want people hunting me down #ok thank yall for reading my jaye rant happy tdov peace out ✌️#(tumblr is like a digital diary that 40+ people can see. to me. this is incomprehensible isn’t it)#jaye's originals ig

#h u h #what does it mean RGG #that is certainly a thing that is going to happen I guess #yakuza #ryu ga gotoku #like a dragon #lad8 #y8 #I will now use the rest of the tags to rant #I REALLY hope this isn’t about to be a romance focused game I detest the majority of romantic media in any capacity #I’m well aware of the fact that the game is apparently going to have a huge plot but personally I’m not a fan of someone trying to #sell me something under the idea it’s heavily linked to romance in someway #yeah I know that this is only a fraction of things to come but this Ichiban/Saeko stuff feels really out of left field #nothing in 7 set that up and I’m sitting here like oh god help I’m so confused #it doesn’t help matters that I also don’t care for lead boy lead girl romances unless someone can ACTUALLY put effort into them and do #a good job crafting the relationship #I have no idea where this is going at all or where it even came from #feels like I’ve been thrown into the middle of point A and point B but I can’t see either of the points like a line that blurs either way #into the distance #and what does Kiryu mean with what he said???#if they throw another lady at him I’m going to roll off a cliff #being honest I don’t feel hyped right now I just feel deeply confused over well literally everything #I’m just soooooooo completely lost 💀💀 I really hope they start connecting the dots eventually #so yeah on a personal level I feel very 😐🤨 about what they’ve shown so far #the America thing is curious but nothing major but the everything else is h u h?#RGG is taking me on a hell of a bumpy road and I keep hitting the roof of the car

reconceptualizing myself as period piece pretty. i’m going nowhere in a jane austen novel but i fit enough of the stereotype for a temptress in a penny dreadful who something horrible happens to. i have big eyes and an unsettling air about me. i would do numbers on Victorian tinder.

#and yes it is gothic horror. i wouldn’t be an object of desire in victorian romance.#i’m eerie and people assume i’m mean. there’s an appeal from a penny dreadful perspective #dracula’s brides type shit.#i’m also fat so its like. no worries my dude. my body type is proof we have the means to survive the winter. let’s fucking GOOOOOOOO #is there racism there? is there a reason its a temptress role? yeah. yeah of course. we’ve all read hunchback of notre dame here.#time is cyclical because there simply MUST be a moment in which i am personally beating the shit out of victor hugo

I don't id as aro (bi grey ace) but figuring out what is friendship and what is romantic is hard and I do the same thing of like imagining what a romantic relationship would be like with friends, especially new friends, like my brain needs to go through scenarios to decide if someone is in the friend or crush box. I think this is one reason why it took me a while to realize I was bi because I just used gender to sort people, if that makes sense

THIS. EXACTLY

#literally this. my brain needs to do this sorting too #sometimes it will turn into whole ass scenarios i daydream while pacing around before i eventually process what i actually feel 😐#and yeah it’s so hard to figure out the boundary between friendship and romance and like. knowing what’s appropriate to do/say 😭#especially growing up as a girl and having affection between girl friends (friends who are girls) not necessarily being read as other than #platonic except You are attracted to girls and still figuring out and confused and then also being weird with your boy friend whom it’s not #socially appropriate to be affectionate with because it will be immediately seen as you having a crush on him. confusing as hell #*figuring it out #also the bisexuality thing 😔 i’m too insecure to id as bi again (and genuinely am unsure of it anyway) but this is a mood right here.#replies #sociallyanxiousdragon

me grabbing eyrie and shaking them by the scruff of the neck to pick one person to be in l*ve with

#anyway I’m feeling something about eyrie and g’raha! it’s a mess!#I did a hah what if I wrote a thing last night and now I’m sitting here seriously thinking #many post EW thoughts. all the post EW thoughts of the two of them #I have not a single brain cell that can pick a ship for eyrie #and the worst part isn’t that there’s too many it’s that my brain is small and unable to cope #it’s me trying to quit chickening out on playing ShB again #owen talks #anyway G’raha being there for eyrie while they’re recovering in Sharlayan #doing his best to help even if he’s a bit much with it #it echoing back to taking care of each other in ShB #no but like G’raha raising his arms to protect his face once the shield breaks #how that hurt him and eyrie realizing that #the soft hand touches. the quietness of that #romance is in the hands y’all #the mirroring of that interaction with like. eyrie’s own hands changing in ShB #HANDS. oh gosh I’ve made it about hands I’m finished #doomed j say I’m doomed #(aka give it a week)#edit: no yeah eyrie asking full well about how he’s doing #brushing his hands up to touch the bandages #both knowing why #shsjdjdjd G’raha asking what eyrie meant by saying they loved the whole of them before sending them all off #eyrie knowing but not knowing the answer. how the answer is both the same and different for G’raha #me picking the two of them up and sticking them in a funky fresh AU box along w every other ship

hot take (aka headcanon) but I kinda think that nishiki and kiryu’s relationship pre-split wasn’t on both sides platonic/familial or fully romantic; I feel like nishiki had a thing for him (not sure if he fully realized it though) and that he had developed feelings for kiryu over the course of a good long time that were deeply confusing on their own, but even more so considering they would’ve been hard to sort out with what could just be attributed to close friendship or a familial-type bond.

and on the other side of this, kiryu was utterly oblivious and never thought to question what they had as being anything other than a close friendship or familial-type relationship or whatever it was being called out loud (we know kiryu, he’s blunt as hell and takes things at face value– not the best at reading between the lines) hence why the split between them, though both were clearly hurt a ton by it, hit nishiki harder and more acutely– because on top of losing the most important person in his life, which is bad enough, it would’ve crushed any tiny shred of hope he may have had to live out his long-time, perhaps even since-childhood fantasy of being by kiryu’s side forever as his one true confidant, in a more intimate way than as a friend.

#rambling #sad boy hours #this also ties into why I hc nishiki as being gay rather than bi for the most part (though both are absolutely valid and understandable)#won’t get into that here too much but yeah there’s just… a lot of tragic gay angst that can be associated with him and the way he handles m #(or doesn’t handle) their little… breakup and whatnot #and as for kiryu’s side of things. honestly if things went a different way than they did I don’t think something beyond friendship would be #out of the question. it’s just. I don’t think kiryu would’ve ever considered the concept because he’s so clueless #when it comes to relationships and romance and so on and furthermore because of the way he was brought up- which of course wouldn’t really #highlight the idea that falling for a guy (or vice versa) is even a possibility let alone that it’d be applicable to him and someone so #close to him and whatnot. learning about nishiki’s past feelings for him in a hypothetical post-kiwami situation I think would make #him short circuit. and to literally anyone else who knew about nishiki’s actions after the split and all it’d all click and make perfect #sense hearing that. but to kiryu it’d take some fuckin Time to process #I think the past would be in the past by whatever hypothetical future point this is but still its a lot to apply to some of the most #important and fundamental parts of/events of his life. hh. yeah. tack on some guilt if you wanna say kiryu would be with majima at that #point (however you define ‘with’– important part is It’s Not Straight) so the potential there- whatever it was- wasn’t totally nothing like #it would be if he was simply straight and thus it would’ve never been a possible relationship outcome #but. yeah. anyway. sorry I’m. I need to stop I’m going insane I think l #I hope I don’t sound too insane or controversial for this take gahdhshdh have mercy on me #it’s. it’s all just ideas. thoughts. in a game. in minecraft. etc #nishiki #kiryu #yakuza #long post

Me: “Haha I will write goofy silly queerplatonic quiobi and it will be funny and goofy and not serious at all”

Me: writes goofy silly queerplatonic quiobi but, right as I’m finishing up, I accidentally hit the comically large glass vial of “Emotions” that I kept above the cauldron, and now there are emotions all over my feel-good, gaff of a story

Do you believe in soulmates? (2/2)

oho. oh HO ho. there is no joke this time you do not know what essays you’ve gotten yourself into with this one

#so. to begin with i kind of fucking hate this whole concept #okay maybe hate is a strong word i can understand the whole whimsy for the “we were meant to meet and love each other in every life” part #it’s cute yeah yeah you can have a little bit as a treat. i’m not the sourpuss shitting on valentine’s day as purely corporate scheming #and it can be nice if it’s platonic as well #but holy fuck the whole “The One” aspect of this oh my GOD it drives me insane #even disregarding how it basically encourages holding romance to a pedestal and the mindset of Your Partner Will Solve All Your Problems #how it puts so much unrealistic pressure on this one person to Be everything you’ve ever wanted and the whole weird relationship as therapy #slash replacement for human connection or a single relationship being otherwise inexplicably superior thing #have you seen the amount of motherfuckers with the “i can fix him” i mean it’s funny as a MEME but god if y’all really thinking like this #i don’t know what to tell you #it feels so fucked up to designate finding this isolated perfect love as your destined purpose #like god knows we’re already way too conditioned to want a romantic relationship by society as is. now you’re saying you gotta??#i’m not saying all sentiment is trite by this or anything i too am a silly little man in love and yeah #sometimes you get to pondering the metaphysical orb of why we’re here. it isn’t wrong to do that #but it feels like the massive amount of expectations we have around love bc of this culture has turned it into more of a Whole Thing #and sometimes what it makes us think of the Whole Thing is FUCKING WRONG #i’m sure someone out there’s phrased this way more eloquently than me i’m just one skeptical arospec bitch. but you start to notice things #this has been your daily drug induced rambling signing off at 10 o clock

#don’t read this if you like critical roll #trying to watch Escape from the Bloodkeep but had to take a break because Matt Mercer was being a touch homophobic #like whaaaaaat the fuuuuck no you did not #his character admits to being a little in love with a guy and the next scene he’s talking about accessories #like wtf! maybe i’m reading too much into it but also he just assumed Rehka’s character wanted to be romanced by him #like he just doesn’t fit in with the d20 crowd #and i tried watching brennan’s critical roll thing but holy shit #one of the guys said ‘this whole episode is a trigger warning!’#like yo what. clearly that joke and jokes like it land with his crowd but i’m over here like what is funny about a trigger warning and also #that’s not how trigger warnings work #i can’t stand them and yeah it’s not for me #post
