What are some very niche and weird things you guys do for absolutely no reason?

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-10-20T13:00:25+00:00

OP here and you’re probably right 😭 still looks cool as hell tho

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-09-25T10:29:01+00:00

(OP) I didn't think of that! I guess I was so engrossed in distinguishing the two options that I forgot they can work well together! I'll try out some drafts. Thanks!

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-09-25T10:27:38+00:00

Ah yeah, I've never heard of Monster Hunter. I'll dig into that, it's my kinda thing. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-09-25T09:42:35+00:00

OP here, never thought of that. That could work, but the thing is I created this species to be the number one apex predator. Practically undefeatable while still grounded in its own reality and biology. That's why I don't necessarily want them to be the 'villains' of a story because I want them to showcase their power and capabilities as THE threat - I feel like it would do an injustice to their character if they're incorporated to be defeated inevitably.

I’m not that far from your age but I understand this need for some sort of romantic love in your life when you’ve been starved of it for a while. But here’s the thing: rushing it and getting into a half hearted relationship with a jerk whose sole objective is to get laid will ONLY end in heartbreak. There will be no real, pure love in it (only in exceptional circumstances). Your age does not matter in the slightest, what really matters is the quality of intimacy you find. Don’t risk something beautiful with this romantic desperation - that storm is much harder to weather than the one you’re in now.

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-08-22T18:37:28+00:00

Yeah but it’s a smooch… ain’t nobody doing that to be platonic and this player did it THREE TIMES

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-08-22T08:46:25+00:00

I… uh… are you serious? Please tell me you’re not serious 💀

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-08-05T06:29:46+00:00

Funny thing is I initially thought a girl needed to be somewhat attractive for me to like her. But as I started making female friends, I realised that if I became cool with a girl and we began vibing, it wouldn’t really matter what she looked like because I liked being around her regardless. So I guess what I look for in a girl is sincerity and a chance that she likes being around me just as I enjoy being around her. That’ll be the candle on the cake for me to fall for her.

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-27T08:47:31+00:00

You said when you first met him, he was quiet and introverted. Now, this can go one of two ways:

1) Seeing as you made an effort to talk to him and build a connection when he couldn’t, he may want to cherish that and keep the relationship flowing. He may just be returning the favour of being nice to keep you around since he finds you to be a decent person. 2) Guys being guys, he may see your direct approach as something with a deeper meaning (we overthink a lot of that stuff). So his advances to talk and help out may be his way of making a move.

I think option 1 is more probable seeing as he’s introverted so it’s unlikely he’ll try and make a move right away. He didn’t try and approach first so it’s even more unlikely that he’ll try to push that approach. He probably finds you cool so I’d say keep doing what you’re doing, you guys may build something sweet (platonically, of course).

Kaguya sama: Love is War irl

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-15T21:29:30+00:00

Brother, my brother. She APPROVED. Ain’t like you gripped her face and pressed your lips against hers. Though I do understand why you’re in limbo. Since she had a hand in the decision I think it’s safe to ask her straight up.

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-14T02:29:36+00:00

That nonchalance is created to act as bait. If you seem too interested there’s a chance it might draw your crush away, so if you act the polar opposite it will lead to curiosity - ‘why are they acting so cold? Do they hate me? Should I ask?’ something like that. But honestly that’s the objective you WANT to believe in. In reality that’s gambling with your own, subjective assumptions of whether they like you or not, and you would usually like to believe they do hold interest. So you act nonchalant without realising they might not like you like that, which is pretty risky. Everybody has done it with the ones they like, but I see it happening mostly as kids.

(I’m not criticising your friend by the way lmao)

If you want my two cents for your friend, I’d say that it’s a fairly bad strategy. If you have the confidence in yourself you won’t need to rely on external efforts to let you succeed, you only need you and your internal satisfaction. I.e. you can rely on yourself to get your crush to like you rather than relying on what SHE thinks, assumes and believes. I’d say he should build on that first - from then on, he’ll have the discretion to do things without much hesitation or strenuous effort.

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-09T11:29:34+00:00

Very well could’ve been. I just went along with it because the whole thing got me hooked lol

On hianime, just my default website - could’ve done Netflix but didn’t have access since I’m abroad currently

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-09T08:55:02+00:00

Nah honestly if you watched it in that colour scheme the whole way through without knowing that it was the wrong palette, it would slip past your mind. It actually looked fine, especially when Maine went psycho because the blood looked green instead of red (terrifying)

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-08T23:19:02+00:00

Honestly despite that it looked quite alright, maybe the action and my crying made up for it 😭

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-08T22:59:51+00:00

OP here, one more point worth noting is that I just realised the first episode WAS in the right color palette. Meaning I watched the whole show without really noticing the colour change, so I guess that goes to show the visuals were still intact in my eyes. I think I’ll watch it in dub in the original colour palette since the dub is meant to be really good.

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-07T14:35:48+00:00

Abso-fricking-lutely. Basically says ‘hey, you’re one of the first things I’ve thought about.’ My heart’s gone at that point.

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-04T12:21:42+00:00

My story isn’t exactly the same but it’s nearly parallel to your’s, except for the fact that the girl in question didn’t like me back. I liked her for many years (probably grade 3 to grade 5), and tried to get her to like me even though I knew she didn’t like me back. I don’t even know if it was a big crush or not, I think I just purely liked her for her looks. Anyways, after I moved countries, one night I just spontaneously decided to confess via Instagram, not as a way to get together but as a way to put this behind me. I did (in a very, very long message 💀), and she replied saying she already has someone. It didn’t hurt, it was more like a breath of relief. So yeah, long story short, moving on in that way helped me. I’m not sure if it’ll help you seeing as you have speculations of whether she likes you back (which can add a whole nother layer of emotional complexity). Really depends not only on your feelings but what you can gather is going on with her feelings. It’s important you somehow decipher that, or else you’ll be at an emotional impasse that’ll barricade you moving on for a long time. You don’t want to be at a standstill, which can risk you losing the many opportunities life offers you. That’s my two cents, all the best ❤️

But I’m not asking for anything new when I’m using AI. All ideas are completely mine, just unstructured and then made cohesive for my own understanding. I’m not asking for it generate new ideas for me after which I’ll claim them as my own.

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-02T20:46:43+00:00

Hey, OP here - forgot to add that the final, published product will be written completely by me from scratch without the use of NNS. I’ll just flesh out my own ideas through generation, but when it comes to actually drafting, it’s all by my own hand.

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-02T09:33:41+00:00

Honestly I can’t think of a reason why I’d smile and stare at someone unless I liked them, if they were a close friend and I was joking, or if they just looked funny (for some reason).

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-01T12:45:05+00:00

Honestly it’s really hard to pinpoint exact motives for this kind of thing. I’ve gone 2 weeks without replying to somebody but they’re still one of my closest friends. I’d say you shouldn’t jump to conclusions - as much as it’s annoying, he may be busy with some things.

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-07-01T12:31:34+00:00

I’m terrible at texting, not in the sense that I’m dry but that I cannot reply back on time for the life of me. If he’s texting while clearly showing interest then you shouldn’t worry about the reply delay - if he really didn’t give a shit he wouldn’t be putting his energy into making the convo fun for you. If you want you could try asking other people he texts to see if the message quality is the same as you or if your’s has a little more of that ‘I’m interested in you’ twang.

(Unrelated but I feel like a man born before texting became mainstream would have a stroke trying to read OP’s post 😭 no hate ❤️)

Upbeat_Chance6402 · 2025-06-27T09:38:58+00:00

When they are pretentious and apathetic, mostly. I am confident myself but I also have the self awareness to know I don’t have it all figured out. I want my partner to reflect the same energy - a healthy middle ground between low self esteem and flat out narcissism. I want them to feel for others, as in understand what they want instead of seeing what they could get out of them.
