How To Have A Healthier Relationship With Your Stats Page

Something I find interesting is that instead of some of my favorites becoming hear me outs, every single favorite character of mine becomes my child. This is made better by the fact that in my friend group, we call each other 'mother' or 'child'. In short, our family has expanded beyond this dimension and has become some sort of cosmic entity that consumes fictional characters into a sort of familial hivemind.

The amount of people who can casually drink soda baffles me as someone who absolutely cannot handle it. Everyone just drinks these for fun????????????? It's not the most miserable sensation on earth for the average person??? I really like spice so you'd think it'd go hand in hand, but no

I am back with my, 'Odile gets stuck with Siffrin after Sus event' AU, which will now be referred to as the Suspicion! AU

Basically, Siffrin, of course, loves handing the flowers out to his family. One of the few things they do take joy in. But, since they all react the same, it becomes less fun. Siffrin still does it, of course, but less frequently and it's one less thing that make them happy now.

Until Odile is stuck. At first, Siffrin just gives Odile a majority of the flowers since they have Endless Amounts of Guilt, and while he can't do much, he can give out flowers which seem to make Odile happy (they do, they very much do. Odile every now and then will give one back since they both go to the shop as a thank you). However, it also very quickly rekindles the love for flower gifting, since Odiles new reactions to them make Siffrin like it again. AKA, it forces them into the awareness that if the others could react differently and have a silly amass of flowers, they would.

Eventually Odile asks why Siffrin is basically giving Odile a flower collection even if she can't keep them every time, to which Siffrin responds that it's fun.

Bad news. KOSA advanced.

Continue calling your representatives and tell them to vote no on KOSA. It passed the Senate Commerce Committee, not the full Senate, we still have time.

STOP KOSA NOW.

Hey, Wake Up by fwlo fits Siffrin and the rest of the party so well dude

(I keep imagining specifically Odile and Siffrin but like... it fits all of them I'm just insane about those two in particular)

ALSO GO LISTEN TO IT AND THEIR OTHER SONGS FWLO IS AMAZING

What if Atsushi knows sign language?? Like in the orphanage the kids would use it to communicate sometimes without the staff knowing, so even if Atsushi wasn't involved he gradually learned sign language to find out where to sneak food, good hiding spots if something happens, and how to get away easily if you do something. He knows how to sign fast too cause the kids would cut deals with Atsushi that if he used the fact that he was much scrawnier than the other kids to do something, then they would split something, mostly food though. So he can sign fast, fluently, and easily understand it even if it's rushed or unclear to most.

Fuck it let's try it

oh god what did i do

IT SUMMONS MAIL EVERYONE TRY IT

Something about how Fyodor offers to give Atsushi the page to save his friends. But the moment that deal breaks and Atsushi begs him to save them, Fyodor’s entire mood shifts.

Prior to that he was treating Atsushi like a (creepy) knight. Talking about how great his ability is and that Atsushi should join him.

Smirking and having a laugh at Atsushi’s expense.

But after Atsushi begs him for help Fyodor glares at him. He says now can such power dwell in someone like you. And just overall looks at Atsushi with disgust.

I guess Fyodor was okay with treating Atsushi (almost) like an equal. Because of his power and who he is but seeing him on the ground begging felt wrong.

Maybe? But it’s like sir (derogatory) your the reason this happened why are you surprised? Atsushi would’ve joined you to bring his friends back, why are you shocked he’d keep trying for them.

You’d think someone like Fyodor would delight in seeing Atsushi reduced to this state, but apparently not.

This is for all you awkward socializers out there. The ones who crave connection, want to interact, but are so damn confused by it, or so intimidated by it, you never reach out first.

Or, if you do, you feel like the other person's just humoring you. Just giving the polite answers until you leave them alone. You read each interaction with that bored/slightly annoyed tone. That "I don't wanna be rude, but gawd, just leave me alone already so I can talk with the people I want to talk to" tone.

You know the one.

And then you curse your awkwardness, you withdraw and stop interacting. And when no one else reaches out to you (maybe because they too feel that awkward intimidation, but that doesn't occur to you, they're so outgoing! they're so confident! they're so cool!) you convince yourself that maybe you just weren't meant to have friends. No one seems to notice you're quieter than usual. Maybe you should just stop trying.

Maybe they think you're the rude one. You never meant to be rude, you're just so damn bad at doing this friend thing. How much interaction is too much? Are you smothering or aloof? Where's the line? Are you coming off funny and engaging, or loud and annoying? OMG you don't want to be that person that others hate even thinking about!

And on and on your thoughts swirl, micro-analyzing everything, and making you feel like every single interaction you've ever had was one-sided, that everyone you've ever spoken to forgot you the moment the conversation ended. That you are so forgettable that no one would notice if you just . . . stopped. Just disappeared. No one would notice. No one would care.

I see you, fellow socially awkward friends.

There is so much bad in the world. So many horrible things on grand and smaller scales on people's lives. It's hard to keep things in perspective. Everyone has their own trials, their own hardships that others may know nothing about. I try to keep that in mind. But I sometimes fall into my own head, letting the negative thoughts drag me under for a while.

So here's a hug for everyone who has those moments. Those fears. Those frustrations and feelings of sadness and loneliness. You are (ironically) not alone. 💖💕
