The way that when you’re a child other children can bully you and single you out as an acceptable target for abuse and socially isolate you to the point that it permanently changes your personality, your self worth and the way you interact with other adults for the rest of your life. And there’s nothing that can really be done about this. All you can do is just keep getting older and put more years between your current self and the frightened child that you were. Nothing happens to the kids that bullied you, they might not even remember doing it at all

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

really love keeping up with my mutuals through their little tags and vent posts. getting updates on how they’re doing is something like: glad to know your job at the library is going well. i’m sorry you haven’t gotten that raise. glad your finals went well. i’m sorry your teacher is so unhelpful. glad your tv show got renewed. i’m sorry they killed your favorite character. glad that you scored tickets to see your favorite artist. i’m sorry they aren’t touring near you at all. glad your cat is doing well. i’m sorry your mom is sick again. glad you’re feeling better now that it’s your favorite season. i’m sorry your meds aren’t working. glad you’re married now. i’m sorry you have to step back for your mental health. glad you’re still here. i’m sorry life is so hard. glad you’re alive, i hope things get easier for you soon

road rage

many will attempt to "end" the hug after only five to ten seconds of holding you. crucially, this is where the claws come into play

so i wrote a thing. words cannot describe how tragic it is to me that rocky and ilyukhina never got to meet each other so i made an au of it. rocky learns that humans drink alcohol. they bond over being engineers. they are grieving for their friends. it's deeply silly and i wrote the larger part of it in the middle of the night so bear with me. crumb for you:

[frailbug]

you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way

[matchboxbug]

it's a good and smart idea to work on four of my outlines at once within the same document. i'm sure this will not end in confusion

July morning at an old farm pond

[matchboxbug]

okay, i'm glad that seems to have gone over well for the small number of people who read it. i went to bed for a few hours and was afraid i would wake up to comments that said "hey! we can't understand any of this" because my brain was firing on its last cylinder when i wrote it and i was so tired i literally couldn't proofread my work because i kept seeing double. but nope! still got it

no “carrd.” you learn things about me based on what you can piece together from the vague details of my life I disclose in rare moments of vulnerability
