IS THIS WAR??? IS THIS A CALL TO ARMS??? GIVE ME LIKE...,,,, A FEW DAYS AND ILL FUCKING

SHODIFH

IM COUGHING UP BLOOD HERE THAT WAS A CRITICAL HIT HOLD ON--

what if i am malicious or mean-spirited? what then?

you say it like you aren't, you FUCKING BULLY

but let's ignore the fact that your love language IS BULLYING so that i can disprove those preposterous rumours of cowardice that you've been spreading around about me

meeting noel wasn't really a life-altering experience but deciding to invite him over for that first movie night that lead to a sleep over definitely was. see noel has this type of... disarming confidence that sort of scared me at first, but after a long rant about anime (and the assurance that there was something queer afoot with this guy), i decided to give this a try yknow? after all this is uni and I'm not in my home town and I don't wanna have zero friends here so i put on my big human pants and gave it a shot.

you would not believe how well it worked. see noel has this loud unabashed and pretty much shameless personality that i wasn't sure if i could work with. I'm the type of person that has a history of always being the one to compromise for the louder personality without saying anything and letting things bottle up until i literally decide to cut the other off, so i was cautious about managing my old bad habits and not letting them have a say in this new friendship.

enter stage right noel, who is loud and shameless but so so fucking considerate, who will ask and check, who is so careful about not making me feel uncomfortable (and the fact that i never feel bad about redirecting a conversation because of that speaks for itself). noel, who will initiate conversations that feel so meta because talking about your friendship with the friend involved isn't something i was used to at that point WHICH IS INSANE BECAUSE ITS SO USEFUL.

funnily enough, despite his loud energy (and i have never found anything funnier than this), his gamer rage is a "ts" that barely sounds mildly annoyed. it's endearing and utterly hilarious.

also, and i know noel being autistic plays a part in this but let me tell you, as someone that gets anxious and is a bit of an overthinker, the honesty that's always a part of my interactions with noel is so refreshing. and the fact that on top of all this, this guy doesn't even complain about living in a state of semi-constant confusion at my sarcasm. and by sarcasm, i mean that i sarcastically responded to noel telling me that I'm a sarcastic person okay? it's not just your casual run-of-the-mill thing, i live and breathe in sarcasm and this guy right here (who called me an eldritch being which feels like such a compliment) doesn't even complain. IN FACT i had to needle him into telling me to use /j or /s via texting, which he would never bring up himself ig and honestly. YOU'RE SO CONSIDERATE BUT NOT TO YOURSELF.

ahem moving on. noel is a also a fucking bully in the most loving way possible. we once highjacked a video call for a uni project just to snipe at each other with petty fake (or not so fake but meant with love) insults BECAUSE I COULDN'T TAKE THE ABUSE AND I STAND BY THIS; HE STARTED IT.

he's the guy that calls me out so. much. who loves to needle me and tease me because that's what i signed up for apparently. it took me a bit to figure out how to go about it in a way that didn't lead to me accidentally internalizing the wrong thing, but once i figured that out it was game on.

conversations with noel will span from us aggressively calling each other out, to pretending to be a victorian couple to yelling about cute animals and raving about our specific extremely interesting thing at the moment. this guy has shown me so many different and diverse fandoms, from the owl house (which i still need to finish but whatever) to bee and puppycat to anything link and hyrule related. in return, i try to keep my rants about star wars (which i absolutely love and he absolutely cannot stand to listen too much about) to a minimum (which only works sometimes, sorry). and this right here is so important to me.

I've never had this dynamic before. this mutual understanding of i scream about my thing and you scream about your thing, and we focus as much as we can and if we can't we let the other know and they can scream later or scream via text so we can see it in a few days. that is something that i will never stop appreciating, something that i just wont stop loving about me and noel.

noel is the guy that's always there when i drop drinks (milk and alcohol most notably) on my carpet because istg it never happens when I'm alone or with anyone else. noel is the guy that decided to start writing down this wild au i pitched at him, which we started obsessing over and developing for the entirety of january iirc (and this is what urged me to also start writing about it and suddenly we're writing buddies which is such a fun and interesting experience).

he's the guy that was worried that me losing my social battery meant he did something wrong (something that i hope I've disproved by now, and also I NEVER SEEM TO LOSE MY BATTERY WITH THIS GUY?? I've literally never had this happen with any of my other friends but with noel it takes so long for me to me to go mm i need alone time),

noel has also, at many points this last year, practically moved in with me and yknow what? the absolute peace and calm adoration that i felt when i got home from a uni meeting to see him on my chair drawing, there are no words for it i swear

Ante, 9

You call my takes questionable, but you are one of the biggest degenerates (pos) I know irl.

Everyone, meet mom. She'll shower you with alcohol and dotes on you like a sweet heart and every experience she joins in will immediately become 10 times worse but in the most fun way.

I'll start with the sappy shit for her and her only: when I first moved I was very unsure of whether I was gonna have any friends at all. But then I met her and from the first 10-20 minutes of us talking, I immediately knew that it was gonna be okay, and that I was worried for nothing. And that has proven to be true. Her house is the one Cass, Lilibet and I all meet up at, and the one I laugh the hardest at. And that is a thing to treasure.

Also she's like "uwu Noel says he'd kill for me and that is so sweet" BITCH!! THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT!!

Anyway if Cass is extremely fun to see get passionate, Rei is 10 times that. She is also extremely passionate and extremely stressed, but she has so many thought and she WILL express all of them, and that is always fun. It is never not fun.

Back to the thing I said about experiences with her automatically becoming worse: I don't know if we're like a chemical reaction waiting to happen, but if she's either a) on her own or b) with me, whatever is happening will become a wattpad story draft, like I shit you know. So many story times of us together are comedy slice of life worthy. We almost missed our flight cuz she shoved her... personal possessions in my bag to be allowed through TSA. We stayed up until 4 am watching yaoi. We watched creepy pasta AMVs together. We made it a family tradition to watch bad soap operas together. There is never a quiet moment.

Anyway, bullying her is extremely fun. But only when I do it. If I catch any of you bitches bullying her, it is on sight.

Also her biggest red flag is that she likes Neon Genesis Evangelion and trap music. Pick a struggle.

FUCK YOU CASS I DID IT FIRST

I got so agressive trying to send you an ask i hurt myself jsyk

OH BOY OH BOY. meet my little emo brother, folks (although he's a month older than me)

when i first met Noel, i got the feeling that he was a very outspoken and confident person. let me tell you, i was RIGHT. Rei was the reason we met and i'll forever thank her for that. i couldn't have asked for a better little brother to call an edgelord.

anyways, i have to ask: how does it feel to be the most based person in the room? your music taste and style are amazing, your face when you talk about your interests is everything, and one could never be bored around you. i love how passionate you get about all kinds of different things, how you'll turn the world upside down for your friends, and how unhinged (affectionate) and unapologetic you are. i can be myself around you, you encourage me to be more unfiltered and let loose a little (or a lot, lmao)

btw, i don't smoke weed. but if there's anyone in this world that could convince me to try it out, it would be him. his chaotic energy is off the charts; being with him feels like you're in a rollercoaster ready to slide from the tallest ramp, and you're so excited for the dive. take into account that he's the one that motivated me to get into the goth scene (in St Noel we trust) and trust me, it's VERY hard to get me to try new media. be proud.

you said that we should hang out more; I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. being with you at a concert must be an amazing experience, and i'll forever be bitter with myself for not coming to Palaye Royale with you. i can't wait for the absolute chaos that's coming this year, thank you for being in my life <3

(P.S. you're a beautiful person inside and out and if anyone says otherwise i'm morally obligated to hunt them for sport)

(this already says a lot about me ngl)

HI.

really and truly where do i start. as you very astutely pointed out, we are absolute polar opposites in every way shape and form. i was really really hoping we would end up becoming friends, and would you look at that we did.

and still, for all our wildly differing tastes in clothes and music, we get along!!!!!!! you're one of the kindest people i have known and spending time with you always makes me feel so genuinely appreciated. you've got a particular charm. if we were 18th century dandies at the same club, i would want to sit and read my newspaper next to you.

and i love how much you love stories!! i love how you open your heart to new ideas and new characters and new worlds, and treat them all with so much care, as if they're dutch masters and you the museum curator. i LOVE getting lost in stories with you and exploring every possibility and every nook and cranny. look how we've moved from uncle kedin to marcial and father peter. that's remarkable!!

over the two years we've known each other, I've watched you grow and explore your interests and I've watched your writing flourish, as well as the way you talk about books. it flows!! it flows like a very well-spoken river and it also has ουμφ & βαβαβουμ and pizzazz and a sense of immediacy. it gets to the point but does so with style.

i love how much you care, about people and things and everything else in the world. i love your sense of adventure and how you can make any day interesting, and your quiet confidence and unruffled manner.

and i love you, of course. i hope we have many MANY more adventures together, i hope we tour 221B and borrow pipettes from the lab, and i hope we continue to visit pink cafés and clash with our surroundings. you're wonderful 💓💓💓

Mutuals send me a number, and I'll make a post talking about you.
