Tamagotchi no Monogatari @tamagotchi-tales - Tumblr Blog

This is the story of me gamifying self-care; I'm in my beleaguered era and I have a hard time remembering how to be human. About I week ago, I was at the tail end of a month-long period of illness, and I likened my body to a particularly finicky and demanding Tamagotchi. The idea is sticking, so I'm gonna run with it.

It’s actually kind of remarkable how thoroughly a huge chunk of the hr fandom doesn’t realize that they are the villains. Like not just in real life but also in the story they claim to be fans of. They play right into the homophobic stereotypes that Shane is so afraid of being painted with, trying to force him into a box of femininity and make his sexuality the most important thing about him. They villainize the older gay man character because the (out bisexual) actor who plays him exists in a way they disapprove of for *mumblemumble* reasons. They say things like “all my homies hate Brad” while refusing to look in the eye the fact that they would absolutely 💯 do the same thing. In seconds. No question. And play victim in the face of any backlash because “representation” is more important than an individual’s right to privacy!

They’re the bad guys, they’re the face of the restrictive barbed wire panopticon of homophobia in the modern world.

Most of them have been doing it for years in other fandoms, hr just blew up so big so fast that it centralized a lot of the worst elements of other smaller fandoms and they’re egging each other on and competing for clout.

They’ll never see it.

On Friendship.

Sometimes I hate talking to my friends. Nowadays, it's happening oftener. I want to tell them I love them and how important they are to me. But I'm afraid that when they ask me how I'm doing I won't find it in me to give them a breezy answer. Everyone has problems. Apparently, even a mediocre time is too big an ask in the current state of the global economy. People are wiped — emotionally, physically, socially, financially. I'd rather not be another reminder of how everyone seems to be Going Through It right now. I just want some part of my life to remain untouched by the meanness of my situation. That part could be my friends. If they don't know how miserable I am, they could entertain the gentle deception that I'm somewhat okay. Maybe just a little too busy with a schedule that's out of sync with theirs, but still, somewhat okay. No news is good news.

But that means I don't get to talk to my friends. I don't get to tell them how I love them and the friendship we share. I don't get to remind them how monumentally crucial they are to my wellbeing, load-bearing and marvelous. That I want to keep reaching out but I feel more strongly the need to raise them above the tide that's trying to drown me.

I just want some part of my life to remain untouched by the meanness of my situation.

'lazy people don't feel guilty about not doing anything' is insane to me and I have been trying to make my brain believe it for a long time, it shocked me to my core when I first heard it
