who wouldn't want to get inted by knuckles?
he's a smart guy. how else would he come up with such a smirk upon being praised like this? he just wants everyone to believe that he's not, so that he can strike back on anyone anytime.
in fact, he might as well be the only surviving echidna, because only he was smart enough to hide his intelligence.
girls are literally always saying this to me
My parents HATE overwatch because it takes up our entire wifi whenever my brother goes online and when I bought myself the new Zelda my mom was like “can I watch Netflix? or are you playing” and I was like no, no don’t worry it doesn’t take up internet. and she was so relieved and started walking towards the TV in her room and I was like “you want to watch it out here? I can switch to the handheld mode” and she was so impressed that she could watch Master Chef next to me while I played my game. Nintendo is truly the family system.
Logan's friends keep letting him down
Logan Sanders angst
Warnings: swearing, anxiety, self deprecating thoughts
Word count: 778
Incoming text from Virgil:
Hey! Sorry that this is so last minute, but we have to cancel, Lo :( Something just came up… We’ll see you next time tho
His phone hit the bed with a soft thump. Again? His friends usually canceled the plans he made, but no matter how many times it happened, he was still let down. Why did he even try anymore?
Collapsing back onto the mattress, he stared at the ceiling. They had no problem following through with the plans they made, but when it came to him, there were so many painfully comical excuses. What was it about him? Was he actually as annoying as he thought? Was he a damper on their fun? What was the problem?
Mustering up just barely enough politeness to reply, he picked up his phone.
You sent:
No problem, Virgil. See you another time. :)
He couldn’t identify the feeling building in his chest, but he knew it was uncomfortable. Picturing them all sitting around Virgil’s phone, laughing at how gullible he was, the feeling grew worse.
“Logan’s so fucking stupid! I can’t believe he actually thinks we want to hang out with him.”
“When is he going to stop inviting us over? I’m starting to feel bad for him.”
“I’m surprised he keeps believing our excuses, they’re getting pretty bad. But he’s so naive, I bet he actually thinks something happened!”
His breathing was becoming heavy, and the room started to feel like it was closing in. His friends must hate him, that’s the only explanation, right?
“No- logically speaking, anything could’ve happened, they’re most likely telling the truth, there’s no need to get worked up.” He thought.
However, even as logical as he was, nothing could stop the negative thoughts from overtaking the rational ones.
Tears were collecting in his eyes, but he was trying as hard as possible to resist them. This was such a dumb thing to get upset over. He should’ve known. How could he have been so stupid?
If Roman, Patton, and Virgil abandoned him, he’d be alone. They were his only friends. Would he be able to deal with being friendless?
He suddenly remembered some advice he’d once given to Virgil. If you’re anxious, you should find a healthy distraction.
Looking around his dimly lit room, desperately trying to find something to take his mind off the disappointment and hurt, he came up empty handed.
His phone made a noise, pulling his attention toward the spot where it had been abandoned. That could be an adequate distraction, right?
Scrolling through the various apps, he opened Instagram. Bad choice.
The first picture on his feed was of his friends together. It hadn’t been posted today, but last night.
They were standing in front of an old building downtown, dressed to the nines.
The caption read:
Friends who slay together, stay together.
He didn’t even have to look at the user to know it came from Roman.
Logan figured they hung out without him, and that was okay, but actually seeing it in front of him was a different story.
Without even thinking about it, his fingers scrolled to the next picture. Thankfully, neither Virgil nor Patton had posted pictures, but he still wished he hadn’t seen it at all.
He envisioned them mocking him again. Walking around downtown in suits and ties, talking about how glad they were it was just the three of them.
It was safe to say this “healthy” distraction was not working. He put his phone on silent, shoved it into a drawer, and sat on the floor.
He’d never been so uncomfortable in his life. That was the only word he could think of to describe this horrible feeling that had made a home in his stomach and now his chest. As he laid back, he realized he’d been shaking and sweating. The hardwood floor felt benevolent on his bare arms, so he removed his shirt in hopes of cooling down faster.
The thing was, he was let down constantly. It had been happening his entire life, this was something he’d gotten used to. Why was this time any different?
Did this confirm everything he’d ever thought about himself?
Maybe he actually was a horrible person who wasn’t worth anyone’s time or attention. That’s why he was always alone.
He screwed his eyes shut and clenched his jaw, trying to get rid of those thoughts.
“I think this is a new level of hurt.” He whispered to himself while watching the ceiling fan spin circles over his head.
Watching the fan spin, he was growing sleepy.
His eyes closed and he felt himself begin to fall asleep.
my brother made the mistake of asking me what i do for fun in my free time today and by the time i finished explaining to him that my main hobby is learning everything i can about death and associated practices and beliefs and that i'm happiest when surrounded by death and decay he was looking at me like this
We as a society do not give Anna enough credit, and I think that’s very poor of us.
I recently came out to my mother's side of the family who are majority conservative christians and it went much better than I expected. Like, they were weirdly supportive. I only got one comment insinuating that I might possibly be going to hell but it came from my aunt and she's dying soon anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Anyway, I'm telling them how shocked I am and that I honestly thought that they'd have more of a problem with it when my grandma is like "Well you know we've been through this before with your uncle Nicky" and I'm like "what" and so it turns out that my uncle Nick was born a Natalie, came out as a boy at 19, and my great grandma proceeded to pay for his top surgery and hormone therapy. In 1974. And I just had to process for a bit because my entire life no one has referred to him as anything other than he/him and his chosen name. I ask why no one ever thought to mention this and they're just like "tbh we forgot. It's been so long that he's been a man" This man is married. He has a wife and three kids. I ask my relatives how they went about having kids, whether through adoption or sperm donor or what and none of them know. Apparently he just told everyone that they were gonna be parents and then one day showed up at my grandma's house with a baby. No questions were asked. Just. He and his wife had a baby now and that was that. Three times. Weeks later when I finally talk to my aunt Sarah (Nick's wife) all she tells me is that neither of them have ever been pregnant and, I quote, "sometimes you just come into children". She phrased it like people use the phrase "come into money". Like children are something that just happens to you. I ask my relatives if any of them had a problem with Nick being trans at the time, saying I'd understand if they had negative feelings about it, as it was the 1970s after all. They were like "nope" and i was just like "you didn't think anything of it?" And my grandfather was like "these things happen" while the other adults nodded sagely. So I guess the moral here is that if my conservative christian relatives could accept my uncle as trans in the 1970s then there really isn't any excuse for anyone. And also my family needs to ask more questions because I'm fairly sure my aunt and uncle stole their kids.
I’m laughing my ass off at that last sentence- But I’m so glad your coming out went well! That’s one heck of a way to find out you have LGBT relatives.
i have strong emotions about this scene
