The opposite of “manic pixie dream girl” is “depressed goblin nightmare man,” and, judging by this site, it’s just as attractive to some.
Parents always say this:
"You're smart. Therefore, it's okay for me to expect more of you."
"You're smart. Therefore, I don't have to care how I explain things to you."
"You're smart. Therefore, it's okay for me to assume that any mistakes you make are intentional."
"You're smart. Therefore, if you say that you struggle with something, it's okay for me to assume that you're just lazy, afraid, lacking confidence, lacking motivation, or any other excuse to dismiss your struggles as fake.
but never this:
"You're smart. Therefore, I will put my authority aside and consider the possibility that you are right and I am wrong.
Like any abusive authority figure, they want you to be smart enough to uphold their authority but not smart enough to challenge their authority.
ok but affini plumblr would be absolutely unreadable. like the affini would only spend maybe 1% of their time Posting, and the rest would just be the most homosexual gushing about their florets imaginable. 99/100 posts are just "My floret is SO CUTE!!!!!" and pics of said florets staring into space on drugs or similar things
of the 1% of posts that aren't this, it's probably like, the affini equivalent to hypnosis blogs where they post induction scripts designed to bait independents who read them into interacting, and then they eventually get goaded into DMs; at which point it's over for them
also there are a few digitized affini who are the compact equivalent of dril and they produce the best content you've ever seen every half a second. they get 3094872039487 reblogs on every post and each hornypost they make gets a dozen independents domesticated via a reblog chain, plus if you interact with them they just start turning up inside of your pc to flirt with you
HGHHRNNNN. I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!! *releases powerful beams into the sky while screaming*
Someone told me to look up this thing called yaoi. Thing is, they have tricked me into searching up things I would rather not have seen before, so I’m just a bit nervous.
In other words, to anybody who knows what yaoi is: how badly do I not want to see it?
