Had a similar experience? My current partner are high school sweethearts, and we started taking after I was rejected by my first crush. In the dream my first crush was flirting a lot with me and I started to panic because “oh god I dont wanna leave my boyfriend I love him!” And eventually told them to sod off.
Woke up with the biggest feeling of relief in my life.
Really, I’m still on Twitter because I follow a lot of my favorite artists there, and they sure don’t have Mastodon.
Hell as a teen I fucking hated those tests because I didn’t even know what I wanted to study, and everything I started just felt either so daunting or not worth my time. It straight up advised me to be an accountant and I got depressed thinking that’s what my life would be.
Nowadays I’m in IT, and sure, a bit on the full side, but I actually get it, makes good money, and on the side I paint for fun. Not the worst life, and certantly better than being a goddamn accountant.
Dude I wish. Didn’t know what candy cigs were til I was on my 20s, and I learned that the chocolater sells fake chocolate joins. You bet your ass i was pretending to smoke that shit.
Honestly my biggest blunder of this was telling my boyfriend we watch Miraculous Ladybug and that it gets really good in season 5. I honestly lucked out that we both found it a riot from start to end, it’s now one of our favorite shows.
Ok, yeah, my partner loves the Mc Neal Seal puns, and even when we were watching it he was like “season one is supposed to be the bad one? Jesus the show is good then”
Hell correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t one of the most infamous examples of this that the government refuses to admit the unit 731 existed?
Me with Bojack. I straight up tell most folks to skip the first 5 episodes and start with 1-6. The jump in quality the show does when it gets to “The Telescope” is staggering, it doesn’t feel like the same show.
I’ll be honest, have the complete opposite approach here. I moved around a lot, country to country even, back when I was a kid, and had no way of keeping up communication with anyone before. Now in highschool, I made friends though a club and met by now partner, and all of us have admitted we probably wouldn’t have stayed in contact if it wasn’t by us sharing a videogame server in which we stream on the weekends, which came in handy specially during the pandemic. We’ve all been friends for 5 years now.
Ooo, that’s good, thanks for the input. And thank you so much!
I think I made it about half a year to a year ago? I should update it soon.
No big! I got a good chuckle out of it, thanks!
Any grammar errors I should correct for next time? English isn’t my first language.
Yeah, if I remade this nowadays I’d likely do exactly that, or lean more towards bodily independence, but hindsight is 20/20. Thank you!
Was into the original COS back in the day but was never a formal member. Wasn’t until my mid 20s that I found TST and by then I had mellowed out a lot, and TST appealed a lot to my humanist side, along with my partner. It was mostly causality than anything else, but it’s been great so far.
Might just be cus we’re both neurodivergent, but we have a lot of non verbal cues, though he’s nowhere near as showy as I am.
Whenever I end up overstimmed and go non-verbal, I tug at his shirt gently, or paw at him. From then it’s simple ASL. For him, he genuinely just has simple phrasing or wordings that are kind of “key words” between us. The both of us are high functioning in our 20s, this is just kind of how it ended up and we’re both super not subtle about it. It’s great.
Edit: we literally do pigeon noises at each other at random. One of us says coo and the other goes roo. It’s literally just a “thing” between us and it started because of us watching pigeons together and it stuck.
