Headlove: a headmate you love!

Further explanation below cut

I was unsatisfied with currently existing words to describe relationships between headmates. We are not quite romantic/sexual partners, or roommates, or friends, or family. These words are intended to describe external experiences between singlets! Of course they don't fit us!

This term is intentionally left with a loose definition, and is gender-neutral in nature. The only requirement is that you are close to the headmate(s) and love them.

Headloves can:

* hug, kiss, cuddle

* manage daily affairs together

* sleep in the same bed

* play games and listen to music together

* be each others' closest relationships

* have sex

* hold hands

* share interests

* or none of those things

It does not matter. The main requirement is love, typically that which is not well-described by existing words.

I had a dream about Columbo at a drag show. This is what came from it.

I'm waiting for him to explain to me how his newfound love of drag allowed him to prove I killed my business partner

My boyfriend, again blending together fanfiction tropes: So what if when you finally find your soulmate, that’s when you discover if you’re alpha or omega, right?

Me, hands shaking as I frantically search for pen & paper: KEEP TALKING

[xekstrin]

Me: Seems hellish

Boyfriend: So does being an ant person

Me: Again, baby, they’re not ants

Boyfriend: YES THEY ARE. They communicate via pheromones— LIKE ANTS.

Me: So back to the soulmate thing….

Boyfriend: You could trick them into following orders and thinking they’re dead by spraying them with a spritz bottle. I think they need a queen.

Me: So back to the soulmate thing…. Seems hellish!

Boyfriend: Not really. If being around the other person is what triggers the changes, if you want to go back to normal… all you need to do is leave.

Me, writing: (You found your soulmate. It’s changing you in scary ways. All you need to do is leave… how difficult would it be to leave? What pressures exist to stay?)

Boyfriend: So these ant-people—

Me: OMEGAVERSE IS NOT ANTS!!!!!!

giggled at something and my coworker comes out of the break room and goes "I just heard like, a haunted child laugh... so weird." and I'm like okay so it was a normal regular alive adult laugh actually

i tried explaining to this girl at a party once how i could be gay and asexual at the same time and it basically boils down to never being into anyone but like once a year i’ll find a man attractive. and she was like “so what am i if i only like girls, and i’ve never found any of my boyfriends attractive and and i just wanna do cocaine all the time?” i was like “you’re a lesbian with a coke addiction?” and she was like “woooooah”. she broke up with her boyfriend that night and had a threesome with two girls in the bathtub. rebecca if you’re out there, i hope you’re going places. well, not far, since you’re electronically tagged. but spiritually.

thanks that was really helpful

now that this has broken containment i have some things to clarify:

1. this isn't a hypothetical scenario. i searched how to remove the complexity bar in spore, clicked on the first result, and was met with someone condescendingly describing how to use google (no actual answer present in the whole thread). "actually if this happened-" no but it did though. it did actually happen and i was compelled to immediately draw it (losing all desire to actually find out the information i was initially looking for)

2. "just use duckduckgo" i was using duckduckgo. i said it was goople.fart and added in the ads for comedic effect, and bc they might as well be the same bc the problems run deeper than the search engines themselves. duckduckgo isn't a superior search engine, its strength lies in that it doesn't track you the way that google does (and it's not overrun by advertisements)

3. "use marginalia search" have YOU ever used marginalia search??? it's not good for finding the answers to questions. in fact it is not good for finding anything specific at all. it's good for finding random websites when you're bored. it's like, a novelty search engine. i appreciate it's existence but really it's not very helpful in the day-to-day

4. "it's ok you can say reddit" INCORRECT. it was steamcommunity

5. for the record, someone saying "just google it" in a forum setting is different than someone saying "just google it" when you're asking them specifically, like in a social media or blogging context. it's still not particularly helpful, but strangers don't have an obligation to explain things to you (esp when in many cases they would just be the one going on an aggravating goople.fart journey in your stead). the difference with forums is that everyone saying "just google it" is going out of their way to leave unhelpful non-answers on a thread that they easily just could've ignored (plus, when someone makes a post on a forum asking for help, it's safe to assume that they've already been searching for an answer and couldn't come up with one. NOT the case for social media), with the unfortunate side effect that pages like that are the ones that come up when you search for that question

This was on a post discussing shit parents doing a new satanic panic. Valid points all around but. But I’m crying. This is the funniest lie ever, no parody I could come up with this will be this funny. Nonbinary Julius Cesar

keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it

there's no fucking way

[red-dyed-sarumane]

stop calling your own work slop

[red-dyed-sarumane]

stop forcing yourself to disengage with what you love because a layer of irony makes it more comfortable. admit you care and let yourself feel good about it

My best interaction ever i love humans

i think it's beautiful that cats eat you if you die in your apartment and nobody finds you for a while. i don't know why it's used as anti-kitty cat propaganda as if eating you means they don't love u. if i died and no one found me for a while i would want my kitty cat to eat me bc i love her so much and i don't want her to starve. it's not her fault i'm too dead to give her her fancy feasts. she's going thru something scary ok. i don't know a single cat owner who doesn't feel the same way
