#para social relationships
Text
Dan Howell referencing the Kit Connor situation in his new video on parasocial relationships seems appropriate considering how much it reminded me of the toxic side of the phandom.
I remember when Dan and Phil were criticized for “queer-baiting” I’m happy the phandom isn’t like that anymore but the heartstopper fandom (at least on twitter) still has a ways to go

#it was a good video#I’m happy he’s reached a healthy place with most of his audience#a lot of it really was just younger fans growing up#dan howell#dan and phil#danisnotonfire#phan#phandom#shipping#para social relationships#heartstopper#kit connor#daniel howell#phil lester#amazingphil#toxic fandom#dystopia daily#Youtube

Hamilton was one of the first pop culture medias I was really into with a cheating plot line and I was like damn. Can’t believe this guy threw away his successful career he dedicated his whole life to and incredible wife and family for one hook up. I should not have been surprised Apparently this is very common and easy for men.
#try guys#john mulaney#like it seems so easy to me to just not do that#not to out my self as an original Hamilton fan but where else am I gonna express this thought#like I have learned over and over to not get too attached to a para social relationship#but#I’ve been watching the try guys since they started so this is upsetting and hard to grasp#idk lol

it’s 5 AM and i can’t sleep, wanna get real for a second?
-
i think some people view their mutuals here as 100% real best friends, and i get that. that really is amazing for them, if that’s what makes them happy. life is hard and any type of friendship that makes it easier for people is good.
i do still think of you as my friends but in a vastly different way than i do my offline friends, who I know physically.
there is a disconnect though, because i don’t technically know any of you. i know the personas you put on the internet - the characters you ship yourselves with, your favorite genres of fanfiction, maybe i know something about your home life or what you look like or what other languages you speak
maybe your account is very close to your real life personality, and i like those personas very much.
but I still view them as personas.
“kirby” is not a real person - kirby is a mask with elements of the real person typing this.
some of you have brightened my days and help me escape reality when i needed it. also at the same time you are not my friend. it’s an intriguing paradox.
maybe i’m just delusional from sleep deprivation, and that comes off as very harsh, and if it does, I’m sorry because again, i do like you all and the work you create.
sometimes people feel things towards kirby, good and bad, that they think are about the real person. and that can be uncomfortable or annoying for me
so i just want to set the boundary of it being known that being friends with kirby, while valid and lovely and appreciated, it’s not the same as being friends, and being entitled to me, the real person behind the phone.
you are friends with kirby, and i am very appreciative that you are friends with kirby. but you are not friends with the real person behind kirby.
you are not my friends, you are not my best friends.
(except one mutual who i know in real life who actually lives in my city and has slept on the couch lol)
#psa#para social relationships are strange and complicated#So is referring to yourself in third person. Also again Kirby is not my real name.#kirby says cute things <3#all that to say ily moots but also#The love we share instead of two very closely bonded fictional characters#Which is not to say it isn’t real.#but it’s not the same as the love between two very close friends

swifties are really losing their mind over this latest development more than the fucking pollution thing
#I stopped respecting taylor as a person in 2019 after brendon urie lol#like give it up guys she makes some tunes she writes some god dang poetry but she is part of the mega rich class#she will never value social justice above her career#and she’s going on a pr campaign with this one but no one knows what the reason is?#like does she really not want ppl to talk about her breakup This much or is something bad about to come out#cus this reminds me of when she did the pr thing with tom hiddleston in an attempt to distract from the kanye thing#lol anyway good luck to disillusioned swifties I wish yall recovery from your para social relationship#I don’t even mean that sarcastically cus I was there a few years ago#matty healy#taylor swift

ant 🐜 in the sink I turned on the water to wash him away and kill him.. Well! He hung on for dear life so I took pity on him and helped him out of there, . This is probably how god feels
#I would feel no guilt over a spontaneous kill but by that point I had been with this ant for 10 whole seconds#Which was enough time for me to form a para-social relationship with it#(-𖦹w𖦹)っ✎

I want everyone to know that if you have posted your face or likeness somewhere on the internet AND we have interacted before I have likely had a dream with you in it.

when I say “kid where are your parents” what I mean is “kid do you have parents or guardians who have taught you media literacy so you don’t fall down the flat earth conspiracy hole? kid, do you have people in your life who care enough about you to discuss the dangers of right-wing propaganda and monitor your online activity? kid, do your parents/guardians know you’re spending hours online arguing w/ internet strangers and causing yourself mental & emotional stress over cartoons? kid, do your parents/guardians know you’re posting your entire medical history for the internet to see without any protections in place? kid, do you have people in your life who care about you enough to take away tiktok and talk to you?”
and other times I just mean, kid where the fuck are your parents, depends on my mood
#chaos pikachu speaks#it's important that kids understand media literacy enough to navigate online spaces#just cause you say ok boomer doesn't mean you can't fall for propaganda yourself#tiktok is full of misinformation FULL OF IT#it's gen z facebook#it's also important to not get caught up in para social relationships#whether that's with big named fandom stans or influencers or celebs

That meme about unfollowing people exploded and seeing the tags, it’s fun to think about how much “following” has changed its meaning throughout the years.
I remember being a wee 9 yo playing pet society on Facebook and this one person who seemed to spend a lot of money in the game sent me a friend request for some in-game event. Fast forward to 2022 I still have this person as my friend in Facebook. We don’t talk, we don’t even have access to the game we played anymore. And yet, they’re still there in my friend list. To me they’re a problem I won’t bother fixing, but to Facebook, they’re my friend and have been for a while now.
Facebook didn’t use a follow strategy until much later on, instead, it used friend requests.
Now, I’m not sure if it was because of this that many people associate “friend requests” to “following” and “actual possibilities to become friends”.
As if following meant to be friends automatically. People, me included, share a lot of their lives in the internet to their followers and friends. But as a matter of fact, you will actually get to know 2% of that people in a personal basis. It could be downright 0% tho.
What I mean to say is following doesn’t mean you become friends and even if the network you’re using labels it as such, you have to wake up and see it’s nothing more but comfortable wording unless you actively engage with the person you follow/your followers.
Thus, unfollowing/unfriending doesn’t mean you “stop” being friends with someone. It’s a simple virtual reflection of real life. Your relationships are a lot more than the label social media uses to categorize whose content and ideas you see on your dashboard.
#para social relationships are not a new phenomena#but please#find the line separating reality virtuality and actual possibilities#I don’t mean to say you can’t become friends with those you follow#and viceversa#but i mean to tell you not to use ‘friendship’ in the same note as ‘following’#but might be my own bias towards what a friend means#hah#in reference I don’t give my address to my friends until a year after meeting them#I have paranoid delusions#so it’s to be expected#but feelings and sensitive information#aren’t in the same level of importance#on what or what not to share#it I’m not the only one who thinks that#as people scream to the void#knowing full well the void isn’t exactly completely empty#moya rambles

I put on Sons of Liberty so I can find the motivation to finish my Sam Adams costume bc I'm meeting Ben Barnes at NYCC on Sunday and I am two minutes in and Sam just appeared on screen and I am literally gritting my teeth foaming at the mouth clenching my fists about to tear through the fuckin drywall at the mere sight of him. Step One: Try to be normal. Failed step One 🙃
#listen like para social relationship i have wothy Sons of Liberty Sam Adams is UNMATCHED#I'm not even kidding like i own that man he is my girlfriend do not TOUCH HIM#i am 31 years old i should be able to be normal about this and yet
