It was supposed to be a dating app that became more of a hookup app that involved a lot of people's dicks. I think they've cleaned it up a bit since the beginning but still. The horror never dies.
They've been here for a while and I'm from their future. Like several Important months in some cases. I've told them pretty much everything but it's still stuff I lived through and they didn't.
[ Which is one say to say "I dated one of my best friend's exes and fell in love with him and both of them are still, I suspect, kind of into each other here." ]
Oh. That almost sounds like something that could be used here. I'm surprised they don't have a version of it already.
Yeah, I know what you mean. One of my closest friends here is still from a point in her past, although most of us have lived through it and already know what will happen. It's almost trying to figure out what you should tell them and what they need to find out for themselves, you know?
[ his is "the woman i have deep romantic feelings for left and came back and doesn't remember any of it, and only holds memories where she thinks i won't care about her anymore." ]
oh yeah. like I said I told them pretty much everything, but some things just... how do you explain the bad stuff? or the awkward stuff that you're over now? is that just opening up wounds or is it really necessary?
Honestly, I haven't really said much to her unless she asked. If they want to know, that's one thing, but giving it to them anyway feels a little mean. Or like you're doing it more to make yourself feel better than anything that's helpful.
maybe it would be different here. you know, we all have to fuck, APPARENTLY.
yeah I wouldn't go telling people stuff that they don't want to know. I try to ask or at least like get an idea of where we stand. that's just selfish to say it without them asking or wanting. esp when we can't DO anything about it period.
It's not the kind of place I'd want to see anyone end up in. Really, the alternative is... getting closer to a couple people than maybe you planned on.
If you ever want to talk about it, I get it. I've been there too, more than once.

[ he's trying to be reassuring, but then he realizes she probably could get a lot of those kinds of pictures in the meantime. ]
Oh, you've got a friend here already? That helps.

I have a couple, actually. I know I'm lucky. Though a couple are getting... complicated.

[ help the sheltered space boy out, maria. ]
Because they've already been here for a while? I know how that feels.

Honestly, it sounds like you're being a good friend to me.
