what is wrong with you

everyone was like that in the early-mid 10s

lol speak for yourself. some of us had jobs, hobbies, and post-grad studies that you couldn't flake on to do more tags. as for making fun of "normies", not everyone used that word and a lot of people saw it as a red flag for the kind of nerd nobody liked, but i guess how common normie mockery is depends on how you defined it. nobody in my group made fun of people for having jobs or families, but we made fun of stuff we used to call basic bitch shit, like sweats with "JUICY" printed on the ass

Chances are I don't know you, but there are so many people who've vanished out of my circle over the years that I think of often. If you were one of them I'd be so thrilled to hear from you even if it's been ages or if you don't plan to come back to RP.

You could always drop a line if there are people you miss. I don't think I'm the only one who wonders about friends who've drifted away.

if you're the person i'm thinking of:

i'm glad that your career took off and that you finally found love. but ngl you were always kind of cringe in the way fake people are, so i'm also glad you stopped sanding down the genuine parts of yourself to fit in with a bunch of toxic nobodies. congratulations on realizing that there's better things in life than appeasing dwrp cliques

what is with anons replying to these like they're personally offended

it's not a letter to you, stay in your lane

seriously

stop flattering yourselves, none of these are about you

sorry you're old but most of us were like late teenagers at that point obaachan

To be honest? A lot of these read like they had an rp girlfriend (y'all know what I mean, your bestest bestie who tagged you for years) that drifted away or ghosted them when interests changed or they were being cringe. This happened a lot in the early 2000s in lots of friend groups. It's ok to move on ya'll.

ngl you were always kind of cringe in the way fake people are

lmao I know op is twisting up knowing they were exactly like this regardless of if you're right or not. no one would show up with this woe is me yearning letter if they weren't self absorbed.

this is a logical fallacy: most people you know were your age, or you believed them to be your age, therefore everyone else must have been the same

sorry but if i stop rping here i'm never coming back to gaze lovingly at wankgate lol

right? At least go wax to rpanons or something not here lmao.

as the person arguing with above anon, i admit i was guilty of that too. since most of my peers were 20somethings, my kneejerk reaction to this was that op and the other anon were either undergrads or neets

the anon the ayrt was replying to...??

that's basically what I meant like I know I said most of us in a flippant way, but mostly to point out to you that there were lots of different age groups here at the time and in my case a lot of edgy teenaged types who lol kek'd at "normies" online because we were anime nerds

What I'm saying is that we were all cringe and that didn't stop because you were in post grad or whatever.

i cruise your twitter every now and then and think about you. i feel like we weren't great friends for each other for a variety of reasons, none of which are faults that really need fixing. we weren't even that good at threading together because we have so many petty aesthetic differences.

that's why it's so weird that i'm mad that you didn't value me more. what the fuck were you supposed to do, look past all the stuff that annoyed you and dragged you down to see the solid gold heart? if so, how come i didn't have an obligation to tone my excesses down in order to be more respectful about your boundaries and preferences? i know i'm being irrational but i'm still mad. look at all the stuff i did for you. that i volunteered to do and insisted i didn't need any thanks for. why weren't you more grateful when you were exhausted and dealing with serious personal problems?

i don't understand why i still feel entitled to more than you gave me. there was nothing wrong with what you gave me.

honestly i can't remember interacting with any teenagers being around in the 2010s era of dwrp except for maybe a few college freshmen here and there. where the fuck were you guys hanging out?

i'm still mad that you ghosted me and everyone else like a coward. i thought we were friends, but as soon as i was in a tight financial situation and couldn't go to cons with you to be your personal atm, you ditched me for someone with deeper pockets. at least everyone else had my back after you left, which is real fucking funny since you spent so much time and effort into convincing me that you were my only real friend.

I finished HS in '10 and lots of my friends (and me) were still here, after being on LJ/DW since we were around 13ish? Maybe we just liked different games than you guys did.

how on earth are you so pressed about someone you know so little about that you don't even know their fucking name lmao

ghosting your online friends isn't becoming an adult, it's being an inconsiderate asshole. coming in here with your condescending bullshit like we're all a bunch of unwed children ain't cute.

#niceguysfinishlast

Do your own tags instead of policing someone else's.

i know the name she first gave me (vee) and her real name, but i don't know if she gave the same name to everyone because she didn't have a "public" persona here. that's all i meant.

finished HS same year as you, was already rping on LJ for years beforehand. i had rp friends who were my age and rp friends who were in their 20s.

there were a LOT of teenagers in LJRP/earlier days of DWRP when the migration happened. high schoolers and new college students were plentiful. rpers in their 20s and 30s were my mentors and friends, but i had scores of other teens from rp added to my LJ and plurk
