Alright, confess odd things.
Excessive complaining isn't allowed anywhere on the site. Keep it out of this thread.
For example, I'm jealous to my big brother becuase he discovered The Smiths first. Dammit, now I can't have a crush for Morrisey without feeling weird about it.

I have a Word doc for themed playlists, usually to list songs that I think fit (a) certain fictional character(s).
When you're alone I'm reaching out to let you know that you're far from strangers, like the saviorI get left alone with my phone and earphones and then at least 20 minutes go down the drain to YouTube Music as I enact some saga of fictional scenarios in my head.
Getting ideas into written words, oddly enough, requires peace and quiet.
There's gotta come a time I break this habit of mine. There will be. There will. There will...
When you're alone I'm reaching out to let you know that you're far from strangers, like the saviorAh, that feel when you can't get up to do work on passion projects, and always telling yourself you'll devote the next day completely to it, only to not to.
I always get massive boosts of motivation when I start something, but I always burn out horribly when time passes, which explains why the heck my activity is sporadic. I launch 3 tropes within a relatively short amount of time and at another separate time, quickly make 2 decent work pages, now all I'm doing is voting a little bit on Image Pickin'.
Checking in on this account after leaving the site, MAN that is a cringy forum post history. Daaamn. Never again.The quote on It Was His Sled for some reason fills me with rage. I watched Citizen Kane and it wasn't that great a movie but it still ticks me off.
Edit: I know why it ticks me off: I agree with it, and I hate that I agree with Family Guy.

Read Pokemon Ultimate EmeraldI like to type up my mental escapades. Works as good exercise for idea-dumping, something I want to do more to keep my mental gears healthy.
Also because I get guilty over my ideas that expire before I get them down anywhere, either because I didn't take the time too or had to curb my enthusiasm and reserve it inside in the hopes that a better time to tend to such thoughts may come. I remember when I did this on paper once in a while, now that I'm using the laptop so often, I've adapted to dumping ideas in it too.
Recently been using the same method to try stave off my music addiction for a while - typing up a doc of the fictional scenarios that craft up in my mind when I listen to songs. Just adding to it gradually when I recall one that I've already made and not making up new fodder for the doc.
And that's not even going to how violent these music-induced scenarios are-

When you're alone I'm reaching out to let you know that you're far from strangers, like the saviorSpeaking of music, I tend to hate ones with lyrics, especially ones that refer to you and try to "talk" to you. Sure, I can enjoy stuff like the Ruler of Everything and Mind Electric, and admittedly, I do enjoy songs that try to tell a story instead of being vague, but that's about it.
Instrumentals are great though, conveying feeling with no words, which I think is an art.
Checking in on this account after leaving the site, MAN that is a cringy forum post history. Daaamn. Never again.I'm the opposite. I can appreciate instrumental music, but I like lyrics because they tell a story, and part of why I like music is because I can use those stories to help me write my own. I picture my characters while I listen and it gives me ideas. Most songs I listen to have some narrative or meaning.

Nice to someone who also appreciate non lyrical songs, there's never enough of them (at least outside video games).
This evening I had the random idea to search up "circus ambience with evil laughter" and now this
is what's in my headphones while I'm making notes.
Yeah I don't know how to defend this lmao
When you're alone I'm reaching out to let you know that you're far from strangers, like the saviorFace it, you like clowns to the point of simping over them, even if they are down right horrendous, which you are down horrendous yourself for.
Huh

I won't even defend myself here because that's just horrifically spot on. I'm laughing at myself over how this sentence of yours just absolutely destroyed me.
Side note: I am very sorry that I inadvertently made you look up that word.
NOT AGAIN LMFAO 💀🤡

When you're alone I'm reaching out to let you know that you're far from strangers, like the saviorPain is annoying when I don't expect it, and toe stubbing is one of the most annoying in my opinion, only next to paper/random cuts.
When you're alone I'm reaching out to let you know that you're far from strangers, like the saviorI sometimes quickly fact check myself when I'm saying something about a thing I haven't been involved in for a long time, resulting in me fact checking basic things out of sheer paranoia that I somehow got it wrong.
Checking in on this account after leaving the site, MAN that is a cringy forum post history. Daaamn. Never again.I always chuckle when someone discusses the concept of "shouting fire in a crowded theater" because I once literally shouted "fire" in a crowded theater. For the record, there was no panic. All that happened was that someone put out the fire (which was already visible to everyone except for the person in position to extinguish it).
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.I never outgrew sarcastic kid protagonists. Percy Jackson was just too big a part of my life to make that possible.
Read Pokemon Ultimate EmeraldI always wonder what would happen if I drank an invisibility potion and then went around the neighbourhood after midnight, going into people's houses or backyards, just to see if they're home or not.
Obviously, I'd never actually do it. I honestly wonder if I have problems for thinking about that.

It's not that hard. All you have to do is find the ratio of people with dark humor to people who can get offended by really heavy things to people who get offended by everything. Then you have to see whether or not the people in charge have a similar sense of humor to you. If so, you can be yourself. If not, you limit what you say and avoid being overtly weird. Of course, you still want to obey they rules just in case.
Best advice I ever got? Keep repeating the joke till everyone is forced to laugh.
