Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

All I'm saying is that the gay man's flag is unfairly pretty... like why can't the nonbinary flag be like that?? Or the apothisexual one? Bro. I do really like the omni one though

I think the nonbinary flag is really pretty!

i kNoW! I'm like "look at these beautiful flags that represent my identity!" and then I actually step back and take a look at them and then I'm like "actually, all the colors clash and they're kinda ugly." But I still love them anyways :D (but you'd think whoever designed them could maybe learn a little bit about color theory first)

Yeah, exactly! I'm an artist so that's probably a part of the fact I think they're ugly... The colors just don't fit. I've seen some pretty alt flags for some of them, though :]

Yeah XD I don't hate the nonbinary flag, but it definitely could be better. I like the genderqueer flag, though. And a lot of xenogenders have cool flags.

YES YES I LOVE XENOGENDER FLAGS!! I've made two of my own, one of which is actually called Cricketgender (a gender related to the CB, ahaha I'm so normal-)!! But there's so many pretty ones!! I love how weirdkidgender (one of my xenos) looks as well!!

"Talking like a jerk,

Except you are an actual jerk,

And living proof

That sometimes friends are mean

Present company expect it,

Present company just laugh it off

It's better than it seems"

-- Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Soundsystem

Currently the most relatable lines I've got. Gotta love friends who don't talk to you unless none of their other friends are around, and friends who yell at you for every little thing, and friends who openly leave you out of things, and friends who say "nothing" when you ask what they're doing, why they're laughing and having a great time together - what's so funny. Like yeah, I get it, you don't like me. For the record, I don't like you either, and you're missing out, and I deserve so much better than you, so the feeling is mutual-

Sorry. Needed to vent. At least I have you guys (and two actually pretty good irl friends, luckily!) <3

Aw, Peri <33 I'm not great at advice, but I relate :[ People really suck sometimes.

*hugs if you want them*

I'm sorry. You're an amazing person and you deserve better friends. Is there anything preventing you from stopping interacting with them as much? Since you said you have two other pretty good irl friends, have you tried talking to them about it? If they're actually good they should support you.

And if you ever need any support or need to vent or anything, I'm sure we'll be glad to help. Don't feel ashamed or scared of asking for it. You're so amazing to everyone here, and you deserve everyone else to be as kind and helpful as you are to them/us. We all care about you <3

I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, no idea how to do it, and no idea why I should care in the first place.

life is full of mysteries, isn't it

random question: what's your favorite (old/completed) ski lodge?

Periwinkle's ski lodge (set in The Somewhere Hotel?) is fantastic.  I give kudos to any ski lodge that has been going for this long, and it's been almost a year, but it's also superbly written and has great characters! Not finished yet, but it's come so far and I seriously recommend reading it.
