ryan vona's phantom was kind of giving like, generational poster on twitter who you remain mutuals with even when he engages in fights that are pointless and stupid, and sometimes you get a peek through the translucent glaze of Poster's Affect and you're like "oh right, no one whose life was going optimally would be able to tweet with this frequency AND dementedness. either you post good but occasionally have other things to do in life or you start making posts like a mentally healthy facebook mom." and then you realize you haven't seen him around in a few weeks/months/years and part of you is like "maybe his life got good!" but part of you is also like "well he WAS always tweeting with more blatantly suicidal overtones at 4 AM eastern and then deleting them by 9 AM, when he was presumably also still awake, so... grimace emoji!" but then to your relief you see him alive and well one day when he lightly kidnaps you. and you're like "kidnapping, not so good" but at the same time you're like aww, he used all the executive function in his brain for lil old me? awww, he's got me and my boyfriend tangled in his nefarious spiderweb, which means he's interacting with two people in real life! glad to see he's doing well 🥰
