/c_anna____/status/2047701664380174686 , /c_anna____/status/2047701993461059865 (both from kc instagram story iirc) , /kcmelomini/status/2052424729022152765 (clipped from karmine life)
noticing the fact that caliste doesn't even look at him...
I wish I could :walterjoy: react these clips holy shit I had to grit my teeth through the heartache. Who did WE play. Did WE win. He was supposed to be part of KC forever… He’s so overeager to talk and interact and joke around it pains me more than a little. What also pains me terribly: the fact that it feels like Canna tolerates him and Yike humors him at best. But I may be #projecting. Who knows!
All this being said I think that this is a demonstration of one of the most fascinating aspects of Vladi’s social modus operandi at work which I had already somewhat detailed in DMs with my friend Yu 👇
Other messages about this are all over the place so I won’t share them through screenshots but the gist of it is (and I have also probably already said so in a handful of posts over here but I always forget): Vladi wants friends and likes having friends so bad. He’s still young but I think he has missed out on—and (subconsciouly) perceives that he has missed out on—a “regular” late childhood-teenagehood where he would’ve gotten to hang out with friends and do stupid shit all day (which he spent being online talking to Discord friends playing League all the time instead), and this drive to talk and talk and talk and cling and being kind of awkward about it all is the result of being undersocialized and lacking the finesse that years of having practiced having friends usually results in. In other words: he wants to hang out so bad! He wants to be around people and have a good time! And it hurts me. How clearly he’s reaching for it. And how bad he is at it also!
Now re: Caliste not even looking at him I loled and then I serioused (I gritted my teeth again). My horrendous hounds my wretched creatures. My chest aches it’s seriously vertiginous how profound of a rift the implosion of KC25 has created between them. How one sided it is! I think Vladi would have no qualms at all talking to Caliste again but there’s a kind of leftover hurt or bitterness in Caliste that I can barely even put into words. Vladi would have every right to absolutely detest Caliste for how awful Caliste was towards him but he doesn’t! And it just doesn’t make sense to me (in that there has to have been a degree of abnormal enmeshment for this to happen) that Caliste would end up perceiving Vladi as the single determinator in KC’s late 2025 failures and that he would resent him, uniquely and specifically him, to the point that he’s barely even cordial towards him a year later! If I could ask Caliste one question and he had to answer as truthfully and extensively as possible I would ask what he’d felt towards Vladi for the disappointment and hurt to be so immense. Orrrr if he’s ever thought about being a girl before. Sorry yaoi world
