Games thread!

Yeah, I'd be dropping that friend group.

[(Anonymous)]

From long experience: unfortunately, you should probably stop waiting. Also, take this as a lesson and never prepare anything for those friends again. Not saying stop being their friend, they're probably fun to hang out with when it happens to work out that way, but stop expecting them to be reliable or to be able to commit to anything of importance.

It sucks, and it sucks that people are this way. However, if you do prep anything for other friends in the future, remember the ones that DO show up, because those people generally will show up and mean it when they say they will.

Patterns in your favourite characters and ships

[iff_and_xor]

Inspired by #3, are there any character types or ship dynamics you find yourself drawn to again and again?

Do you remember the first one you liked? Do you seek out new ones that follow that pattern?

Any old business? (Old comments and secrets)

[iff_and_xor]

Anything from the past week or earlier…

Any old secrets you didn’t get to weigh in on?

Any new thoughts on old discussions?

Any personal updates on old threads?

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, your friends are real asshats. Not only would I not waste any more time and money on them, I'd also distance myself and find a less self-centered bunch of people to hang out with.

[(Anonymous)]

^ This. Some people are okay to hang out with on a low key, low commitment basis. But pay attention to the friends who show up and invest THEIR time and effort on YOU, the same way you do for them.

Comment secret thread is still active until Sunday's FS post!

Re: Patterns in your favourite characters and ships

[(Anonymous)]

The only discernable pattern I have is 1st fave/2nd fave in the series usually, sometimes I'll ship characters that aren't my top 2 faves together but I still obvs love them enough to ship them. But dynamic and gender permutation varies wildly across the board, I have slightly more m/f ships due to getting into shipping from a young age and growing up in a time of pretty rigid heteronormativity in media, but my m/m and f/f are pretty equally tied in numbers these days.

I'd say I mostly tend to ship pairs that have the capacity to be happy together in the long term, whether they're canon or not as well as if canon stops them from being in each others lives for whatever reason(the potential for a happy ending was there even if canon didn't give me that). But every now and then I do get a truly off-the-wall toxic ship where I am there for the unrelenting mess and agony of them being doomed in some way, or just straight up bad for one another. But 9/10, happy ships for me.

Intrusive thoughts, never let them win.

What is yours??

Re: Intrusive thoughts, never let them win.

[(Anonymous)]

Whenever I see someone with a nose ring, particularly a large one, I always have an urge to put a dog clip on it and lead them around like a prize cow. Because it is just such a dumb thing for them to get.

I must resist this urge every time.

Re: Patterns in your favourite characters and ships

[philstar22]

Villains. I like villains. There are a few types I especially like: pure evil but brilliant, tragic villains, heroes turned villains (and vice versa), villains who start out with good goals, female villains, and villain teams.

I also like full-on heroes, especially self-sacrificing ones or ones with traumatic backstories.

In ships, I like villainxvillain and villainxhero ships. I also like ships where they were friends before or have a long-term bond prior that develops into romance. And I like ships where dynamics are switched up (boss is the more submissive one, woman is more experienced than man, etc.).

Re: Intrusive thoughts, never let them win.

[philstar22]

Mostly self-doubt. that I'm not good enough. that everyone hates me. That people are thinking negative thoughts about me. That the world would be better without me.

And every time I make a mistake, I'll obsess about it, even months or years later.

Working on it.

They’re my original l, too!

But “old school Sesame Street music” implies there is new style Sesame Street music. I’m torn between curiosity and the certainty that I will hate it. Mostly I just think it shouldn’t have changed because of course it was perfect (she says despite not hearing it anytime in the last 45 years).
