Living in a world full of strangers is a very very...scary thing

over a year later and I'm just now realizing I should have titled it "apple of his eye" or something. URGH

I’m still so taken aback by people in the notes who claimed you need to be talking to people weekly or even daily to consider them your friend. how many people do you know? As an adult I feel like talking every day is sustainable with one person maybe 2 or 3 if your circumstances somehow are really conveniently aligned. yeah there’s people I talk to often there’s also people I don’t talk to for 6 months because there’s no way we’ll be able to coordinate time and energy and I still consider them my friends because this is real life and there isn’t a stardew valley esque hearts system based off of how many interactions we had this month

just fyi by the time youre in your 30s, most of the people you would call to help you cover up a murder are the people you text about twice a year. it's specifically because you can maintain the relationship on two texts a year that they are your closest friends. the reason everyone's interpersonal relationships are so unstable in your teens is because everyone's "best friends" are almost entirely circumstantial. you won't actually know which of those people are in for the long haul until the relationships have been stress tested by distance, conflict and silence.

No love for Vivi whose arm just got chomped off then magically restored, who has to comfort Alisaie while still being covered in blood and shoving his own loss-related trauma under the rug (I'm just being silly nvm me)

No love, however brief, is wasted.

just made the best non-looping gif i think
