Semi-related to my last post, I don’t understand people who are very casual about friendships. I guess I seek more intimate connections and maybe have a different attachment style? I’m curious if anyone has input on this ><

For me it’s kind of an all or nothing deal, like we’re either close friends or not friends at all.

Something I struggle to come to terms with is that I don’t like everyone, and not everyone likes me.

I have some friends that I’m not that close with, but they still ask to hang out once in a blue moon. Tbh, I don’t really want to hang out with them, but don’t know how to really tell them without hurting their feelings. I feel guilty for not wanting to be friends with them, but I suppose it can’t be helped. Part of why is because we have very different interests and lives, plus they don’t particularly try to keep in touch. In truth, I don’t know if we’ll even hang out again, cuz they’re pretty busy and last time someone tried to organize smth, schedules did not align (which I was acc relieved for 😭). Right now, I’m just not saying anything in the group chats, not that they’re very active anyway. It’s been hard for me to accept that I just don’t click with them, I feel like I try hard to click with anyone who’s nice to me/hangs out with me because I’m desperate for human connection but I just need to make friends that I don’t feel confused about (not to say I don’t, I’m very thankful I do).

As for people not liking me, I feel hypocritical because I’m really bad at handling rejection. This one friend I was relatively close to suddenly told me they didn’t want to be friends and it really upset me. Obviously, my relationship with diff friends are different, but aren’t I the same? I was friends with some people and then I slowly realized I didn’t want to be friends with them anymore. So why am I so bitter about it?

This is just a ramble but feel free to comment, wld love to hear ur input

People need to listen to more jazz. Two subgenres of jazz that I love are jazz fusion and big band/swing jazz. This post is one jazz fusion.

But was it jazz fusion? To put it simply, it is a fusion of different musical styles with jazz being the base. Jazz fusion always reminds me of the space age; if I were traveling the galaxy, this would be on the AUX.

Below is a small list of songs to space out to.

Mysterious Traveler by Weather Report
Chameleon by Herbie Hancock
Dreamflower by Tarika Blue
Summer Nights by Lonnie Liston Smith
Poxa by Cortex
Paradise Beach by Wolfgang Mader/Andy Novello
Along The Nile by Kimiko Kasai
Portrait of Tracy by Jaco Pastorius

Hi there, I’m new here. I found this place through an Instagram reel, and I remember trying to set up a MySpace account back when it was still around, but I gave up because I was young and didn’t understand anything :[

Now that I’ve found out you need an invite for the app that’s most like it, I was really frustrated, but when I discovered this site, I got excited and decided to dedicate some time to it.

So, a little bit about me: my pronouns are she/he/they, and you can call me Wawa. I’m 17 years old and I’m studying film. I don’t speak English, but I understand it. That’s why I keep my profile in English. I’m a fan of lots of things—mostly movies and music—and I also enjoy watching anime. I’m open to making new friends; I always enjoy talking about new things and am always looking to have a conversation.

I hope to make lots of friends :]

I'm going to post the few posts I've made, since I posted them on my profile and not here :[[[

Been having a debate with an acquaintance of mine, and I wanted to know if other people have been thinking of this too!

He believes the sentence "art should disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed" is an absolute truth.

As a person who's (I think) mostly in the "comforted" side of things, I'm so glad art can bring comfort to the ones that need it the most, but isn't it also really reductive to say art "must" be anything? Am I being hypocritical for saying art is but an expression of an emotion or an idea, and reducing it to two categories goes against its universal purpose? Also, does that saying mean that "comforted" people shouldn't find comfort in art?

No judgment here!! I'm just confused and asking a genuine question and would love you guys' insight :')

Rodimus Prime: An Unwanted Fate

Really only about the Rodimus from the movie/ season three of the Gen one cartoon

One of my all time favorite Transformers characters is Rodimus Prime/ Hotrod. Because of the tragedy of his character. Perhaps not a tragedy in the literal sense, but in the sense that something he never wanted was forced on him. The 1986 movie establishes a few things about his character, most prominently that he's impulsive, reckless and somewhat laid back. The thing we first see of him is him fishing with his human companion Daniel, and not much later when he and Daniel go to the top of a hill to watch the autobot ship land Daniel points out that there's a hole in the side of the hull. After Hotrod gets a better look inside said hole and sees the Decepticons he immediately starts shooting without word to anyone else. Later on in the movie while the Autobots and Deceptions are fighting and Hotrod sees Megatron's trick, inadvertently causing the death of Optimus Prime. On his death bed Optimus passes on the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus, but before he can take it Optimus drops it and Hotrod catches it. Of course it makes sense that he wouldn't have known just touching the Matrix would make him it's next bearer, it's the first time in at least four million years (but definitely many more) that the Matrix is being passed on. Skipping over the rest of the movie we get to season three of the generation one cartoon. In several episodes it's shown that Hotrod, now Rodimus Prime, does not like being a Prime. Shown most prominently in the episode 'The Return of Optimus Prime', in which he gives the Matrix of Leadership back to the zombie Prime before immediately taking off before anyone else can talk to him, but it's also in several other episodes as well. Why doesn't he enjoy being a Prime? Simply because all the other bots expect him to be like Optimus. He even expects it of himself despite knowing that he can't ever be like Optimus.
