G... GOD DAMN BRO IT WAS A JOKE...

GOT ME KICKING MY FEET AND SHIT- AM *I* BEING ROMANCED RN?????? WHO DO I CALL??? POE-LEASE??? OFF-THORY-TEASE??

IS THIS WAR??? IS THIS A CALL TO ARMS??? GIVE ME LIKE...,,,, A FEW DAYS AND ILL FUCKING

SHODIFH

IM COUGHING UP BLOOD HERE THAT WAS A CRITICAL HIT HOLD ON--

what if i am malicious or mean-spirited? what then?

you say it like you aren't, you FUCKING BULLY

but let's ignore the fact that your love language IS BULLYING so that i can disprove those preposterous rumours of cowardice that you've been spreading around about me

meeting noel wasn't really a life-altering experience but deciding to invite him over for that first movie night that lead to a sleep over definitely was. see noel has this type of... disarming confidence that sort of scared me at first, but after a long rant about anime (and the assurance that there was something queer afoot with this guy), i decided to give this a try yknow? after all this is uni and I'm not in my home town and I don't wanna have zero friends here so i put on my big human pants and gave it a shot.

you would not believe how well it worked. see noel has this loud unabashed and pretty much shameless personality that i wasn't sure if i could work with. I'm the type of person that has a history of always being the one to compromise for the louder personality without saying anything and letting things bottle up until i literally decide to cut the other off, so i was cautious about managing my old bad habits and not letting them have a say in this new friendship.

enter stage right noel, who is loud and shameless but so so fucking considerate, who will ask and check, who is so careful about not making me feel uncomfortable (and the fact that i never feel bad about redirecting a conversation because of that speaks for itself). noel, who will initiate conversations that feel so meta because talking about your friendship with the friend involved isn't something i was used to at that point WHICH IS INSANE BECAUSE ITS SO USEFUL.

funnily enough, despite his loud energy (and i have never found anything funnier than this), his gamer rage is a "ts" that barely sounds mildly annoyed. it's endearing and utterly hilarious.

also, and i know noel being autistic plays a part in this but let me tell you, as someone that gets anxious and is a bit of an overthinker, the honesty that's always a part of my interactions with noel is so refreshing. and the fact that on top of all this, this guy doesn't even complain about living in a state of semi-constant confusion at my sarcasm. and by sarcasm, i mean that i sarcastically responded to noel telling me that I'm a sarcastic person okay? it's not just your casual run-of-the-mill thing, i live and breathe in sarcasm and this guy right here (who called me an eldritch being which feels like such a compliment) doesn't even complain. IN FACT i had to needle him into telling me to use /j or /s via texting, which he would never bring up himself ig and honestly. YOU'RE SO CONSIDERATE BUT NOT TO YOURSELF.

ahem moving on. noel is a also a fucking bully in the most loving way possible. we once highjacked a video call for a uni project just to snipe at each other with petty fake (or not so fake but meant with love) insults BECAUSE I COULDN'T TAKE THE ABUSE AND I STAND BY THIS; HE STARTED IT.

he's the guy that calls me out so. much. who loves to needle me and tease me because that's what i signed up for apparently. it took me a bit to figure out how to go about it in a way that didn't lead to me accidentally internalizing the wrong thing, but once i figured that out it was game on.

conversations with noel will span from us aggressively calling each other out, to pretending to be a victorian couple to yelling about cute animals and raving about our specific extremely interesting thing at the moment. this guy has shown me so many different and diverse fandoms, from the owl house (which i still need to finish but whatever) to bee and puppycat to anything link and hyrule related. in return, i try to keep my rants about star wars (which i absolutely love and he absolutely cannot stand to listen too much about) to a minimum (which only works sometimes, sorry). and this right here is so important to me.

I've never had this dynamic before. this mutual understanding of i scream about my thing and you scream about your thing, and we focus as much as we can and if we can't we let the other know and they can scream later or scream via text so we can see it in a few days. that is something that i will never stop appreciating, something that i just wont stop loving about me and noel.

noel is the guy that's always there when i drop drinks (milk and alcohol most notably) on my carpet because istg it never happens when I'm alone or with anyone else. noel is the guy that decided to start writing down this wild au i pitched at him, which we started obsessing over and developing for the entirety of january iirc (and this is what urged me to also start writing about it and suddenly we're writing buddies which is such a fun and interesting experience).

he's the guy that was worried that me losing my social battery meant he did something wrong (something that i hope I've disproved by now, and also I NEVER SEEM TO LOSE MY BATTERY WITH THIS GUY?? I've literally never had this happen with any of my other friends but with noel it takes so long for me to me to go mm i need alone time),

noel has also, at many points this last year, practically moved in with me and yknow what? the absolute peace and calm adoration that i felt when i got home from a uni meeting to see him on my chair drawing, there are no words for it i swear

poor old granny scorpion-shoes. no one ever saw her death coming

Ante, 9

You call my takes questionable, but you are one of the biggest degenerates (pos) I know irl.

Everyone, meet mom. She'll shower you with alcohol and dotes on you like a sweet heart and every experience she joins in will immediately become 10 times worse but in the most fun way.

I'll start with the sappy shit for her and her only: when I first moved I was very unsure of whether I was gonna have any friends at all. But then I met her and from the first 10-20 minutes of us talking, I immediately knew that it was gonna be okay, and that I was worried for nothing. And that has proven to be true. Her house is the one Cass, Lilibet and I all meet up at, and the one I laugh the hardest at. And that is a thing to treasure.

Also she's like "uwu Noel says he'd kill for me and that is so sweet" BITCH!! THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT!!

Anyway if Cass is extremely fun to see get passionate, Rei is 10 times that. She is also extremely passionate and extremely stressed, but she has so many thought and she WILL express all of them, and that is always fun. It is never not fun.

Back to the thing I said about experiences with her automatically becoming worse: I don't know if we're like a chemical reaction waiting to happen, but if she's either a) on her own or b) with me, whatever is happening will become a wattpad story draft, like I shit you know. So many story times of us together are comedy slice of life worthy. We almost missed our flight cuz she shoved her... personal possessions in my bag to be allowed through TSA. We stayed up until 4 am watching yaoi. We watched creepy pasta AMVs together. We made it a family tradition to watch bad soap operas together. There is never a quiet moment.

Anyway, bullying her is extremely fun. But only when I do it. If I catch any of you bitches bullying her, it is on sight.

Also her biggest red flag is that she likes Neon Genesis Evangelion and trap music. Pick a struggle.

yeah but what would the number mean tho?

Oh look, a victim!

So. This wonderful specimen of a person is someone who I consider to be one of my best friends.

They are my co conspirator when it comes to all things tumblr. We're in not a LOT of the same fandoms, but enough that is kinda friendship defining. They also proved to me that neither of us are immune to propaganda. They got me into the owl house (thank you forever carter that is quite possibly one of the biggest favors you have done me thus far) and I got them into critical role as a whole (you're WELCOME). I think the biggest "offender" fandom that we were both in together at the same time was Sk8 the infinity? Maybe? Idk, but tumblr had a big ass play in that.

Also do you know that meme of "writers, make sure you have a doctor friend"? Carter is the doctor friend. The amount of medical questions I have asked this man (gender neutral) in order to torture my ocs is enough to get them a medical degree. And they answer! So if any of you get mad at me for hurting my ocs, they're giving me the ammo :)

Also both of us share the emo/punk experience (tm) which... shows. Irl.

Also we are both so gay and mentally ill that neither of us understand the few straight people we converse with, so now our conversations have divulged into different flavors of "straight people are weird".

I won't get into a lot of the personal stuff but I fucking miss talking at the stairs of our highschool with this guy about ocs, that shit was super fun. We still talk about ocs and fandoms, just not at the staircase of our highschool. We do it irl at a park or sth or dms.

I think that's all I have to say? Anywho I love my friends vol 1.

... The number means nothing btw.

SUCH AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT EDIT BTW: I would take a bullet for this guy. This is like true for all of my friends but I need all of you to know that we live 5 hours away from each other and if anything happened to them I would spend absurd amounts of money to be there ASAP. Also I'm currently trying to get them to play Deltarune with me and they're trying to get me to watch OFMD and Good Omens. Both of us are failing.

This is very important research so I can figure out how to arrange my books

hi person I definitely do not know, choose the number 22 now let's see what you got

*cracks knuckles and neck*

everyone, meet my arch fucking nemesis.

one day, while we were in a literature workshop i think, we promised each other we'd write a character analysis of each other. we're both too scared to do it, but i will make a stand and this will be like... a hint of that. a teaser of what could be. an idea.

I don't exactly know where to start so I'll just pick a random point: I said previously that I visit Rei's house the most. That's because I practically live at Dee's house. It became so bad we eventually started going to uni together. It became a meme. and for good reason.

Dee is the most terrifying person you will ever see, but then you'll talk with them for 15 minutes and if you do end up clicking, you'll discover that there's nothing to be afraid of. They're very sweet, but so extremely introverted. Im an archeologist and they're ancient ruins which I KNOW exist and i WILL be digging them up.

but this person. this specimen. this creature. this eldritch entity. honestly man, i dunno what to say, other than this guy (gnc) is one of my best fucking friends and i am so happy about that. this BRAIN. they are genuinely the most fun to discuss shit about. like theyre one of the few people where i will rave about my special interests and they will rave about theirs and we will be having Fun.

speaking of raving about special interests, theyre one of the few neurotypical people with whom i genuinely feel heard and properly taken care of with. like so many of my acquiantances will just not understand the mental illness cocktail inside my brain, and dee doesn't either because they just don't experience it, but theyre one of the few people who will make accomodations for me without me even having asked and that is so noble of them.

also sorry for constantly talking about how hArD my life is. except when i say im dying or wanna kill myself. then im not sorry. i am a dramatic son of a bitch and you befriended me on PURPOSE.

also the ones that get it, get it, but creating an au with you has been one of the most fun experiences ever in my life. not only was it such a fun writing exercise (WRITERS CLUB WHO?) but i loved thinking with you and it was an excuse to spend time with you and no joke i would do it all over again and i WILL do it all over again you are extremely unsafe. and while our love languages clash, once we synced up and did parallel play perfectly, it was such... a safe environment. talking and planning an theorizing with them is fun as fuck. but chilling on their couch (aka my bed) while they play some strategy war game and i play breath of the wild and i listen to them rage at egyptians, mongolians, british, scottish, or whoever attacks their faction and theyre panicking about not having enough resources while i rapidly back away from an approaching lynel is so comforting.

drawing in the same room as them and explaining fashion trends while they explained the latest criminal minds episode to me was so fun. it was so safe. i will genuinely cherish every moment with them, and i massively appreciate them. I wont get into what the situation was, but i once had to run to their house at 12.30 am while carrying groceries in my pajamas, and i wouldd do that again, for any reason.

but also they BULLY me and i am being ABUSED. >:(

no bullying from me in this post tho, i already do a lot of that irl and i will not be stopping.

also i know you will never make your own post like this about me, dee, unless you're not a coward :)
