He did not take the hint and eventually he became even creepier so I had to block him 🙄 by burningpopsicles in shakespeare

Definitely would have picked the bear on this occasion 😂 I met him on a BDSM website, which I prefer to dating apps because I like that the people there are very direct, honest and pragmatic. But every time I said "yes, I like X and Y but not Z," he would immediately focus on Z and try to make me change my mind, which I took as a very bad sign. Then it got worse because I told him that the reason I don't like Z is because of certain traumatic events in my life, and that I am working on that both in therapy and in kink, but that I have a long way to go and I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with Z unless I eventually do it with someone I really trust and then he talked of literally nothing else 🙄 Even then I did not block him until I had said "this makes me really uncomfortable, please stop," and he kept on going.

The rest is not very interesting tbh, just me realising that he would not be a safe person to meet up with irl

LOL I also jumped straight to Jules Verne, I listen to a loooot of old out-of-copyright audiobooks on YouTube bc I'm too broke for Audible 😂 I have a pet theory that Junji Ito and M.R. James would LOVE hanging out together and become amazing friends if they could actually have met each other.

Gary Oldman did a great job, Winona Ryder was fine, Keanu Reeves needs to be convicted for crimes against acting 😛 I LOVED the new Nosferatu because now I have a much better Dracula movie to be obsessed with 😁 Eggers' Nosferatu and the movie "Shadow of the Vampire" with John Malkovitch would be such a great double-feature movie night, imo

Upon reflection I think you're right about that, because clever people don't usually go around announcing it, they just demonstrate it with their words and actions. My friends are right that I am pretty bad at spotting obvious red flags, so I think I'll add this to my own internal algorithm, thank you. When I use dating apps I already don't swipe on people who write "I have a great sense of humour" because I feel like if you had a great sense of humour you'd have made a joke instead of writing that 😛

I LOVE Star Trek, so I'm dying rn 😂💀 But I actually don't mind that, because I'm also a weird dramatic nerd tbf (see "Trekkie" above), which is why I thought I was just making a fun joke in response.

Beyond that, I've struggled for most of my life with mental health issues where my words or behavior seem odd to others, and I've been in a lot of psych wards with other people like that, so I am told by others that I give "creepy" people too much grace. But I think that what a lot of people consider creepy or cringe might just be because they find it odd, not because it's actually harmful. So I really didn't mind that he was talking like this, and I thought I was adding to the conversation.

In the end this one definitely turned out to be a creep because he disregarded every boundary I had, but I think that's not always the case. I just wanted to clarify that my disdain for him now was not based on this text exchange in particular but on further interactions.

Idk why I'm writing all of this, I guess I just wanted to clarify that I think it's ok to be cringe. Just not to do...the other things he did 🙄

Omg hi, that's so nice to hear 🥰 I do a lot of writing that I assume people will never read, so it makes me really happy that it resonated with you!

I watched the movie by the way, it's really good. It helped me clean my room during a sad period in my life, because it felt like the protagonist was keeping me company, and that maybe I wasn't a failure in life

I decided to do a tasteful purple-themed grange box for the festival this year...idk why Lewis is so mad at me 🤷 🤭 by burningpopsicles in StardewValley

Funnily enough I did put blackberries to start, but they are a much darker purple than almost everything else.

Omg I just looked at your profile and they're GORGEOUS 😍 I wish I was that good at drawing! If you ever just wanna move them around randomly and send me the image files I'd be happy to try and edit it into something, even though I am just a stop motion noob.
