i’m bad at understanding romantical things unless people are explicit. like seriously. don’t drop me a hint. i’ll pick it up, dust it off, and hand it back without realizing it was for me.
any post about a “group chat” just reminds me of how it feels like everybody in the world already has their little group of friends and i’m just kinda constantly floating in and out of people’s outer circles, so even if they consider me their friend they’d be just fine without me since they have so many people they like more than me
I mean the general aesthetic and scope of preference seems to be fairly universal- I didn’t know vore was A Thing until I was at least 17 but I’ve found all the elements that, to all intents and purposes, I had been thinking up on my own since I was 6 to be present and widely accepted as The Usual
so like… has this been the case since forever? Were there people in the 80s, the 20s, the 1800s, 1600s who were into this weirdly specific thing too? Hellenic era vore? Does it go all the way back to humans first being humans?
And if not- why? What cultural or genetic shift occurred that some people’s psyche’s started going “ah yes, this. this is what I like”? Did it occur earlier in some civilizations than others?
