what he means: my first girlfriend sacrificed herself for the good of her people, and she didn't think twice about it. i saw firsthand what it meant to truly protect those you love, and in that moment i also experienced what it meant to be loved enough to be protected. but i wasn't ready. i didn't have enough time to say goodbye. she was gone before she fell back to me, and i knew it even before i looked for a pulse that wasn't there. she was heavy, until she wasn't, because i saw death happen in a way i never thought it could when her body vanished from my arms. i now know what it feels like to kiss a spirit, and it's the last touch i have of her. she sacrificed herself because she believed it was her duty, an expectation she felt she needed to face, and it should never have happened. but she got dragged into a war that we brought to her home. there was nothing i could do to protect her from its devastation, and i blame myself for her death.

what he says: my first girlfriend turned into the moon

what he means: that is so out there it is literally beyond my feeble comprehension and i have no idea how to respond and yet i can tell by your tone and expression this is something that has impacted you and yea that does sound like the sorta thing that would impact a person and it seems to have been a negative impact and i would like to console you somehow make you feel better and improve the relationship between us but even on a good day and with a normal subject id have no idea how to do that like what you just said sounds like something you should talk to a therapist about or maybe a priest or something but im not gonna say that i dont wana make you feel weird or isolated you shouldnt have gone through that and i would like to say its going to be ok but i dont know if it is or if this is the right moment to say that im sorry that happened to you

what he says: thats rough buddy

never shared a bedroom with siblings but have them

never stopped sharing

don't have any siblings button

Voting ended onJul 18

not enough spaces to add individual options for birth order in the "never stopped sharing" or "never shared" categories, so please specify in the tags/replies if you feel comfy doing so!

also, feel free to share stories and perspectives about this in the tags too. i personally am a middle child (kid 3 out of 4) and i shared a bedroom with my sister until my 10th birthday, i think? she's about 2 years younger than me, for scale. she actually was the one who begged my parents for her own room because she couldn't handle me and my friends making bad horror movies on home video while she was in the room (valid, we were terrifying and were pretty constantly doing that so) and i believe that one of our older brothers had just moved out, so his room was empty at that time so they begrudgingly let her have it.

edited to add: just pretend that the middle and oldest sibling middle options both say 9-12 years old dkdjdkdjd oops

you're telling me this hole is significant to the plot?

[fishandshesmygills]

it’s so hard for me to not doxx myself every single day btw. my oversharer’s spirit is being stifled by internet safety

[righthandarm-man]

can you remember the name of every person you’ve kissed?

yes, I remember all their names

I could name most of them but there are few I can’t remember

if you put all of them in a room I could put a name to at least half the faces

i’m not confident I could name a quarter of them, let alone half

I can’t remember more than one or two names

I’ve never kissed a soul and want to see the results
