The time I accidentaly made 3 guys think i was dating their crush

Lets start with some context, Im 17 years old and last summer i met a girl in a summer camp 2 years younger than me, that i will call maria to preotect her privacy, and we ended becoming close friends, even though I live in a place that’s relatively far away from hers.

Despite this and me being really busy we managed to meet up during halloween, where she introduced me to her best friend, which i will call Sofia, but we didnt talk a lot mostly cause she had to leave soon with other friends.

The next day maria told me that a guy from our friend group, that i will call José, had started talking to sofia and started flirting with her, she initially was attracted to him but ended up getting tired but he kept trying and is still trying today (I wish i had that willpower)

Some days later i started talking to sofia cause she was my bestie other best friend and we wanted to make a group, and indeed we ended up being best friends (YAYY)

I dont remember when but one day a guy of my age (yes, he started flirting with a 15 year old girl just two months before turning 18) , that I’ll call juan, messaged sofia through Instagram and started flirting with her and she actually started loving him, and i don mean just a bit of attraction she was really in love, but this guy was really different in person, not in a bad way he just was different, so she ended up loosing the interest again.

Lastly, the last guy is just a dr*g add*ct of her age that consumes a d**g that makes him really horny so he basically arrases her everytime he can, (he wasn’t like this when we met him but some friends introduced him into that things and he ended up like that), i will call him nico

Ok so basically one day we hanged out to celebrate Christmas and everybody of our friend group was there, including my best friends and the three guys that had her as their crush, it was the first time i had seen maria and sofia in a long time ao we were really close most of the time, but mostly with sofia because maria was also with her boyfriend, i was joking around her and trying to convince her to declare (this was while sofia was still in live with juan), but as we spent so much time together and due to our sense of humour the three guys started thinking we were dating, even one of our friends that wasnt in love with her came to me and asked if she was my gf and nico basically told maria that he thought we were in love with each other lol.

For example there was a moment after juan had left when i was alone with sofia at a corner of a park talking and trying to convince her to declare to juan the next time she hanged out with him, and nico was looking straight at us during all our conversation without doing anything else just stood there looking at us, well mostly at her(he didn’t hear anything cause we were to far away), and jose (that is a bit shy) came just by our side and stayed there without doing something, so we had to start talking about other things.

Since that day the three thought they were loosing their chances with her so tried even harder to be closer to her, one of them even started trying to copy my humour thinking that would make her like him LOL.

Now I convinced her to try flirting with a girl and then the guys stopped flirting with her (except nico)

So someone tells me that I'd like Korn I'm expecting heavy riffs, angsty lyrics, maybe something emotional to cry-scream in the shower to based on what I'd been told. And the first song that plays is Twist.

Like. TWIST.

Imagine you’re half ready to experience some legendary 2000s nu-metal vibes, and instead, you’re greeted by Jonathan Davis scatting like a possessed Sims character over pure chaos. That’s not a gateway—it’s being drop-kicked into the deep end.

But honestly? That’s kind of perfect. Because Korn isn’t just about the angsty breakdowns—it’s the weirdness, the raw energy, the "what did I just listen to, and why do I want more of it?" Getting into Korn with Twist is the truest initiation. You didn’t start on the kiddie slopes. You ascended. Welcome to the madness.

Research today is like a choose-your-own-adventure book where half the endings are “Karen from Facebook said crystals cure everything.” Real science is messy, complicated, takes effort. But pseudoscience is shiny, quick, and the government doesn’t want you to know about it!!!

The internet makes everything look equally valid, and algorithms are like, “Oh, you believe this? Here’s 5 more TikToks to confirm it!” Critical thinking is rare, and pseudoscience thrives on easy answers and fear. But science is how we grow. So yeah, let’s normalize saying, “I don’t know,” and actually checking credible sources. Don’t let the chaos win.

VERY IMPORTANT THING EVERYONE SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE

Zamora doesn’t exist. I’ve never met anyone who’s been there, lived there, or has family there. And the one person I know who claimed to have been? He said everything looked fake. Like, what does that even mean?? Everything about Zamora screams illusion.

I’m pretty sure it’s the place where they’re making the Birds Aren’t Real (Automatización Voladora Eléctrica) prototypes. That’s the only reasonable explanation. Have you ever met a Zamora truther? They’re always sketchy and NPCs, honestly, probably paid by the government to spread disinformation. If someone starts telling you they’ve been to Zamora, block them immediately.

I’ve seen the signs. We all know it’s not a real place, and anyone trying to tell you otherwise is just a pawn in the government’s game. Stay woke, people. Zamora is a myth, and I will not be convinced otherwise.

you're probably wondering what is zamora? and to that I say: it isn't

fuck flat earthers. this is the real shit now

WLW relationships nowadays are so much more visible, and honestly, it’s beautiful to see. Like, we’ve gone from sneaky longing glances in 19th-century novels to openly holding hands in the middle of Target while deciding which plant to adopt next. It’s progress.

But what’s fascinating is how WLW relationships still carry this quiet intensity. There’s a kind of understanding between women who love women—it’s soft, powerful, and often feels like finding home in another person. It’s about seeing each other fully and knowing, even in a world that hasn’t always been kind to us, we’ve carved out a space that’s just ours.

That said, representation still has its ups and downs. WLW media often feels like a game of roulette—are we getting a happy ending, or are we signing up for heartbreak and tragedy? And the over-simplification of relationships into tropes like “soft butch and chaotic femme” or “cottagecore lesbians” (as cute as they are) kind of overshadows the diversity and complexity within the community. And sometimes the relationships are just like "yeah! make out!" instead of just showing love

Still, there’s something amazing about seeing more WLW stories in the open, in all their messy, joyful, awkward glory. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours, and it’s growing every day. Here’s to more love, more representation, and fewer unnecessary tragedies in the next season of queer media

Saying “Beetlejuice” three times in real life is such a gamble because what are the actual rules? Like, the movie’s all “say it three times, bam, he shows up,” but what if you don’t say it all at once? Can you casually drop “Beetlejuice” in three different conversations and accidentally summon him? Or is there a cooldown?

And then you’ve got the musical where they’re like “I don’t even need all three, I’m sneaky like that.” So now I’m stressed because, what, does he just pop out if you’re close enough? Does proximity to haunted houses lower the threshold??

And THEN shows like Community come in and treat it like Beetlejuice is hiding in the shadows waiting for his third name, no matter how far apart you space it. Does saying it over years count? If I said it twice in 2010, am I one name away from him showing up in 2025? Because I don’t need that energy.

I’m terrified that one day I’ll trip and say his name by accident. But also, he’s kind of fun, so like... would it be the worst thing? But don’t test it. Or do. Let me know how it goes.

Beetlejuice isn’t just a movie or a musical—it’s a whole mood. Like, it’s chaos and camp and questionable morals wrapped up in stripes and topped with a green, moldy wig. Somehow, it manages to take death, grief, and bureaucracy and turn them into a goth-comedy fever dream that’s weirdly relatable.

The beauty of Beetlejuice is that he’s a mess, but aren’t we all? He’s loud, inappropriate, and doesn't care at all if people like him or not, but at the end of the day, he just wants to be seen. It’s the perfect metaphor for that part of us that wants to yell, “I’m here, I’m important!” But maybe don’t try to marry a teenager to do it.

And the whole aesthetic? The movie was practically designed for Tumblr—goth vibes, spooky whimsy, and enough black and white stripes to fuel an entire Hot Topic line. Beetlejuice is proof that life (and death) doesn’t have to be taken too seriously. Just lean into the weirdness and embrace the chaos. After all... it’s showtime.
