the right hairstyle for your face is the one that makes you smile when you see yourself in the mirror btw.
Ahh
Queer as in an "identity is fluid and descriptors can be imprecise so I prefer a more general term" sort of way but also queer in a "What are you, a cop?" sort of way.
Rainy day in Kyoto
legit same energy as "then perish
technically we’re ALL, always LARPing, because the Self is only a construct,

c!dream: "everyone thinks they're right...from their perspective."
c!tommy: "that's not true"
reminder that c!tommy is one of the only people on the server to have gone back and apologised to his enemies (c!sapnap and c!technoblade). he's acknowledged that his own trauma, his own pain, is no excuse to cause others pain and trauma. he's acknowledged that some people make him worse by him being near them so he's cut them off because he doesn't want to be that person.
c!tommy is one of the only people who canonically has shown to understand that your own pov isn't the gospel truth. that understands that using your pain as a shield isn't the way to go, it's not healthy.
and he's standing up to his abuser, the one who made him doubt his own reality and pov, and tells him: "no, everyone has the ability to be able to identify the toxicity in their own actions and change."
