CLEAR THE AIR FOR NEW YEAR

[seasonsmods]

Hello, everyone~! ⭐

I'm Starlight ✨, here with a public forum post to end the new year with! It's called a confession booth!

Basically, this is your chance to confess something you have been holding back to start the new year off with a clean(er) record!

Oh, and every comment will be automatically anon when posted, so no need to play with settings or anything.

And of course, have a wonderful new years, everyone 💫 I hope to see you more come next year.


Oooh and one more thing. Please don't make any lewd comments on here, okay? If you need to get flirty with your anon buddies, you can make your own post. Much love~ 💕




OOC: This is a mini-minun fun event to end the new years with! Starlight herself won't make any comments or reply to anything. This comment is a free for all, threadjacking is probably a given, please mark if you'd rather avoid getting threadjacked!

Please also keep everything SFW, as this post won't be locked. You can make a secondary post of anon flirting and sexting if that's something you wanna do! A NSFW version has been posted.

Of course any potential triggering confessions should be warned about in the header.

Anon isn't OOCly on, but ICly it's always on. You'd have to hack the settings to be posting with your username.

Been seeing this guy for months now and he doesn't realize we're dating. We have a complicated history, and he's a big time weirdo on top of that so I can't just spring the news on him or he'll freak out, but some days it's just so hard not to whack him over the head just to see if his brain will catch on!

Would be nice if he could just hurry up. Who knows how much longer we'll be in this world.

[divino]

[ Damn, this sounds like someone wrote it about Alear... ]

Are you sure you and I aren't the ones dating by accident?!
I mean, maybe I should just be more upfront about it
and you too
and so should the guy you are sort-of dating!

[sheezit]

[ WELL. Close enough?? Stupid dragons!! ]

uhhhh
i can't be sure unless you out yourself?? or if i out myself?? and that kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it??
maybe we can work with a time frame? how long has this been going on for you?

[divino]

That's true, but for me it's with two people
who are very important and close to me, and I didn't realize until recently.
Maybe a month ago?
It really, really hit me a few days ago though.

How about you?

[sheezit]

two people? sounds like you're in a bigger pickle than i, buddy. and you're definitely not my guy, either.

[ at least this much he can say for sure! ... probably! they did agree to tell each other if they found anyone else... ]

anyway, for me it's been a couple of months, but all these winter festivities and stuff just really drove it home for real. was it something like that for you?

[divino]

It was! I tried going back to normal after or shrugging it off,
but I couldn't.
Sounds like we both need to just be blunt about it.
Then we can know for sure if they feel the same.

[sheezit]

sounds like you don't wanna shrug it off. but hey, if you like them, you like them, right?
i guess our problem is similar, but not really the same. even if i could just ask my guy, i don't think he would know *how* to figure out his own feelings, weird as that sounds.
and you have two whole people to confront, and *then* figure out where the three of you stand. like, what are you gonna do if one of them isn't okay with it? or both, for that matter?

[divino]

I didn't even think of that...my situation is way worse than I thought!!

And did you try kissing your guy? Wouldn't that make it obvious? Especially if he wants to keep kissing you back?
Or is that too forward?
I don't know how courtship works too well, which is why I'm in this tough spot to begin with.

[sheezit]

oh, uh--

[ oh. oh no. Alear... is too pure........... guess it falls upon the slither to corrupt the fell dragon!! ]

we've kissed before. gone the whole nine years, actually. [ this is the family-friendly version, alear, don't make him say it! ] you'd THINK that would make it obvious, but no, THIS is what i mean when i say the guy is WEIRD and OBTUSE.

[ deep breaths, shez, easy now... we good? we good. ]

so, when you think about it, your situation doesn't sound that much worse, see? just a different kind of bad. honestly, if it's just figuring out how courtship works, i could help you.

[hometown]

[ … Is this about him? Or was this written by him? (Did he forget that he anon'd?!) Either way— ]

This sounds way too familiar.

[sheezit]

[ Fear not, Reiner, you did not write this in your sleep! However-- ]

huh.
apparently there are more of us. can't say if i'm relieved or concerned.

[hometown]

Likewise. I thought my situation was way too specific to have anyone else who understood. Even the time weirdness is the same.

[sheezit]

when you think about it, time weirdness isn't all that weird when this world pulls people in from all kinds of places, right? so that's one thing we all have in common, even just with friends.

still not a great look that so many of us are having trouble communicating our feelings, or even figuring them out, to begin with. which one is you?

[hometown]

Communicating. I know how I feel about this guy. I don't know how to say, "Hey, I want to be with you forever. Also, we've been dating for months." It's a lot to spring on someone.

[ Then: ]

I'm not even sure if we're really dating. We go on dates. That means we're dating, right? But we've never talked about it.

What if he doesn't think we're dating? What if he doesn't want to? Or what if he DOES think we're dating and thinks I'm a dumbass for bringing it up?

[sheezit]

[ awh, this guy sounds kinda cute... clueless, but cute! ]

thinking you're a dumbass for asking sounds like it would be the least of your problems, yeah?

alright, you'd definitely be coming on too strong if you were to just spring that much on them from the get-go, buuuut you can start small. say, what's stopping you from just asking them what they think of these dates you guys go on together?

[hometown]

That's a good idea. I know he's enjoying himself; otherwise, he'd walk off mid-date. But he's hard to read sometimes.

What about you? Is your guy hard to read?

[sheezit]

kinda? he's not very expressive, but i think i've gotten better about reading his subtle cues. and he's a pretty earnest guy, but the real problem is he can't articulate his feelings well or really understand what they mean.

but you know, as long as your guy isn't THAT oblivious, he shouldn't be too hard to figure out. have you guys been, uh, physical with each other? kissed and stuff?

[dreamsofwings]

Just tell him and get it over with anyway.
Or get a friend to tell him. If that's the relationship you want, you can't just keep it inside.

[ This is HILARIOUS since Eren and Reiner have not admitted out loud that they're dating. ]

[sheezit]

[ you know what, just give him some hints and Shez is gonna start match-making, he'd clearly fare a lot better at helping other people out when he can't help himself!! ]

get a friend to tell him? what are you, eleven?

[ BURN. ]

listen, i really can't say much more or i'll out myself here, but suffice to say *i* would be the best shot of a friend telling him anything.

[dreamsofwings]

I'm not the one scared to tell my boyfriend we're dating.

[ REALLY, EREN? ]

But just tell him. What's the worst that can happen?

[sheezit]

u sure? there's been at least two other guys before you in my same shoes, y'know.

[ DEFENSIVE MUCH, EREN?? ]

anyway, the guy practically had a meltdown the first time he [ HMMMM ] got carried away. he's THAT weird, okay? trust me!

[dreamsofwings]

I saw that. Why? Is this a fear of labels or just everyone being clueless?

[ His lack of self-awareness is astounding. ]

What do you think he'd do though? Freak out how?

You could also just continue being whatever you are without saying you're dating.

[sheezit]

[ Eren. Eren, baby. Sweet babygirl. ]

who knows. maybe with all the intimacy stuff we have going on here, people are getting their wires crossed.

and to be honest, yeah, i'm pretty scared he'll freak out beyond fixing. the guy has this hugely intimidating presence on the outside, but on the inside he's like this squishy lil marshmallow and if you press too hard, he'll pop off. it's not like i need a label or anything, but it's hard to deal with someone who's that out of tune with his own feelings...

[dreamsofwings]

You care about him enough to want him to know right? Maybe there's a way to tell him that won't freak him out.

Maybe ask him instead. Something like do you want to date me? or whatever.

[sheezit]

i've sort of asked him what he thinks of the time we spend together, and while everything he says does sound as though he likes me, he can never make the connection on his own. doesn't help that he hasn't had many friends before so his frame of reference is pretty limited.

idk. i want him to know but i also have to wonder if that isn't just me being selfish, if knowing could mean shaking him up pretty bad.
