So you all know I'm basically very autistic despite not having a formal diagnosis (poverty! yay!) and I'm also a huge language nerd.

Well I had this thing where I really didn't like calling all of the people i'm close with 'friends'. To me friends is frustratingly broad as a term, but I tend to think of friends as people I'm quite close too, think people I tend to go to when I feel down and need to vent about very personal things, like a breakup or a personal death in the family or just my inner thoughts. I know these people well enough where I know i'm not going to be judged no matter how insane my thoughts or ideas might be and they're going to support me. The same thing obviously happens the other way around!

But I have certain relationships I don't feel too comfortable sharing these deeper issues with. I wouldn't call them my acquantainces, either, because these people are close enough that I don't mind hanging out with them casually and I even want to hang out usually! It's just more casual.

So I ran into this issue where I have this gap in my language: what do I call someone who's closer than an acquaintance but not as close as a friend? Close aqcuaintance? Casual friend? I don't like that. I want one word to describe this reality, I want to economise language!

So I came up, in my daily life, with the word bienllevados (I'm spanish lol). In Spanish I define it as:

Alguien con quien te llevas bien aunque no es un amigo - Llevar Bien => Bienllevado

But I also wanted a term in English bc I talk in English everywhere, all the time. And I decided on wellknown: An acquaintance you know quite well but who you don't know well enough to be a friend!

Idk why I'm sharing this tbh but I also don't care, I hope all of you found this helpful or at least relatable.

Before anyone says anything: yes I do use both and yes it is weird to make up a new word but it feels better to explain your relationship with someone lol so idc

I love you robots and artificial intelligence with mental illness. I love you repression being depicted as literally deleting archived data to preserve functionality. I love you anxiety attacks being depicted as a system crashing virus. I love you ptsd being depicted as an annoying pop-up. I love you anxiety disorder being depicted as running thousands of simulations and projected outcomes. I love you artificial beings being shown to be human via their own artificiality.

I seriously need Flowey to shine through Asriel when he eventually makes his appearance in future chapters.

Give me one creepy expression. One glimpse of Flowey's condescending tone. C'mon, Azzy, call me an idiot, you know you want to.

Ok TADC prediction time 👀

What i think happened:

Ribbit thought they were friends with Jax so in the moment of crises they reached out to him. But Jax being a distant and dismissive asshole (that he is) pushed them away and probably said something horrible to them which became their final straw and they abstracted.

And Jax felt so guilty for that he refused to give himself a chance to change and be better. Because he himself thinks he's hopeless, which only makes everything worse for himself and others.

What i think is the message:

It's not that his mistake makes him irredeemable, it's his refusal to take accountability and work through it afterwards. You can't help someone like that because they won't let you, they need to do it themselves.
