Can you do something for me, please?
I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship.
Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another.
Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it.
i’m fluent in talking shit
I’m going to say something that might upset some folks. And I know that this is going to be tough to hear. It’s tough for me to say, because this is something I’ve been guilty of in the past and it’s a hard thing to go through and deal with. But it needs to be said.
If you are hurting, you need to tell people. Not should—you need to tell people. The people around you are not psychic and they aren’t going to know what’s going on unless you tell them.
It’s super easy to play the wounded card and say, “why didn’t anyone notice? Why didn’t they see that I was hurting, it was so obvious? I reblogged a bunch of my chemical romance lyrics. I vagueblogged about feeling like garbage. I pinned an existential meme on my blog.” But guess what fam?? Literally everyone I know is doing that and not every one of them is in crisis mode!!!
I feel for you, I really do, but you can’t ask me why no one cared until you explicitly stated that you wanted to actually die, for real, not joking. Because we didn’t know you wanted to actually die, for real, not joking until you said it. You never told anyone. You never reached out over DMs, you hid behind memes and jokes because you didn’t want to burden everyone with your problems, you said you were fine when people asked if you were doing okay.
Tell someone when you’re hurting. Tell them. Personally. Explicitly. Don’t be vague, don’t say “haha” or “lmao” or “/j” if you’re not actually joking because how am I supposed to help you if you’re communicating to me that it’s not that serious. There’s no micro expressions on the internet, I can’t tell the difference between “okay” and “okay.” because it’s different for everyone.
Tell. Someone.
i thought everything was kinda calm but turns out i’m just ignoring every single one of my problems
It’s 104% okay to come to your DM and just say, “Hi, can we be friends?” And then start asking you random questions.
according to his stats he’s tied with yamagata for the second strongest member of stz, one point after ushijima
was a famous setter in middle school
soso proud of goshiki - “he’s our only first year starter, don’t underestimate him”
plays an instrument in a band now
cares a lot about politeness
(or maybe he’s just protective of ushijima? who knows)
gets fed up with shirabu dismissing his advice very quickly
can admit shirabu’s strengths or cool moves to himself though, he isn’t arrogant
kept in contact with everyone after high school!
super big on self-expression
like tendo is right what the fuck is he wearing in his free time
refuses to change his playing style to fit the team better, even if it would have likely given him the starter position
not happy with tendo’s “semisemi” nickname for him
tongue,, thingy,,,
for someone who says he can never get a read on tendo he sure likes hanging around him
really excitable when it comes to watching volleyball games
i just really want to thank everyone who had a hand in designing him he’s stupidly attractive
[other shiratoris: ushijima | tendo | reon | yamagata | kawanishi | shirabu | goshiki | team]
teacher: what inspired you to write this essay?
me: the due date.
there’s a lot of unspoken pressure to keep liking the things you used to like and to keep dressing the way you’ve always dressed and to never question what you believe in and basically “be yourself” has slowly morphed into “be what everyone knows you as” but trust me when i say if you just give it up and simply make decisions and take actions based purely on what would make you happy, you’ll gain a very comforting sense of self peace
Not to be greedy but I want
