Have you had any online connection turn into real life one? Have you met anyone on tumblr that you wanted to meet?
yes, I met my gf online, we first started talking on twitter back in 2014 (now X hahaha) and became friends but before we actually met up irl it was 2016 lol
and oh yeah, a lot! but most of them I don't keep in touch with anymore although I did meet one mutual in London last year, great girl, such a sweetheart, sadly she ghosted me after some time, disappeared from discord and all other social media
but yeah I still think about that one french dude I had a crush on and we had jokingly said to meet up in germany🤪🤙🏻(gosh it's been a year since we stopped talking I think)
OR the cute boy who would write poems for me and had a massive crush on me but I literally had to break his heart but we even facetimed and he stayed up all night constantly to talk to me (🥺) bc he was based in the US and the time difference was nastyyy
OR the girl that I instantly just clicked with?? same age, similar experiences, both great tits (🤪) and she is so funny, I loved hearing her yap about so many things, such a smart and entertaining girl, sometimes I do feel sad that we stopped talking but I guess that's life🤷🏻♀️ but honestly I could see myself being irl friends with her
OR the one that almost made me want to be in a relationship with a man, like he GOT me soooo bad, we spent hours talking, he always listened to me yap with the podcasts I sent him on whatsapp, he made me a custom wallpaper based on our interests, made a cinnamoroll-inspired game for me, I still have the 3ds emulator on my laptop that he helped me set up bc he knew how badly I wanted to play some older Pokemon games, I even bought him a bday/christmas gift and sent it to him, he got stickers from me and put it on his laptop, we were so fucking close, and then idk...those feelings were so intense to me and I panicked and started distancing myself and yeah...but he's the best, I hope he's doing good🩷 most talented person I know and I'm so sad we never met
OR my batboy who was so fun to talk to everyday, sending each other goodmornig and goodnight texts was our thing, he was the best person to talk to about pokemon, taught me how to play, I may or may have not considered visiting just to watch him play a tournament (shhhh I hope he doesn't see this bc I cut contact with him like a total bitch🤫)
OR the one that is not actively on tumblr anymore but is still my biggest online support system and a fan ever, our discord convo is like a whole 10-books long novel and I just can't imagine not talking to him, his view on life opened my mind so much, he inspires me to do/be better, helps with my motivation and just...I'm sad we probably won't ever meet irl but the joy I feel every time we talk is sth I can't even describe with words
OR The Bestie who practically knows about every single shit that is happening in my life and good thing we have most of our convos on snapchat bc istg the unhinged stuff I say to him sometimes is...well🤪 good thing it disappears after 24 hours but gosh this dude <3 love him telling me about his passion, seeing his doggo, saying the right stuff when I feel down, scolding me when I do stupid shit, having the same energy, teasing him, yeahhhh, we have 300+ day streak on snap, that's /something/ lol - if only he lived closer and not like in a middle of nowhere 🙄🙄
and literally so many other people too: @ 👻 🐰 🐟 you know I'd love to meet you irl too😽 and a couple of others too but I don't have an emoji for y'all hahaha, basically ppl from my dms💞
