  • The photo is absolutely true. Not just are there several AI artifacts but her face in the photo is identical to a photo from a photoshoot that came from vogue, meaning it’s very likely that she wasn’t at this photoshoot at all.

    Honestly, particularly as someone who only married into the royal family, my heart goes out to her for whatever is going on. It’s clear that since that operation she’s been out of the public eye, whether she’s just recovering, in a coma or as some believe dead, it’s still sad.

    What I don’t understand is the cover up and mystery, particularly when it comes to the wife of the future king after the massive amounts of drama and conspiracy around Diana.

    Because the quality of Disco Elysium comes from it feeling like a piece if art that stays with you, it is absolutely written by left leaning writers but it’s mature and elegant in it’s storytelling tbaf happens to revolve around those ideologies.

    Call of duty is a for-profit propaganda tool of the US government that is rimarily a multiplayer arena shooter designed to optimise profits due to gaming addictions while passively normalising American world police imperialism.

    Apologies for any typos I wrote this while drunk.




  • That’s a complicated place to be in and I wish you the best. Until I found my current partner, I’d fallen into a similar friendship / romance pattern with a few friends and it does suck to have both unrequited love and a friendship built off it.

    You said you just want her to be happy and I believe you. You can still be a good friend to her despite those feelings do don’t ever feel like that friendship is built on your love, even if that’s how it started.

    It’s totally up to you how you progress, you could choose that distance between the two of you helps let that desire simmer until you meet someone else and wonder how you felt so strongly now, or you can make your love known and see where it takes you, which is whaf I’d recommend. If you do this, then both of you are able to take action about it and nothing is left disingenuous. Perhaps it’s mutual and that’s fantastic, but if it isn’t it puts her in the same position as you, which is deciding how to navigate your friendship going forward knowing about this aspect of it.

    The other option, which I absolutely would not recommend is continuing to hide these feelings and try to be a good friend regardless. A good friend is trustworthy and can give sincere advice on things like love and dating which is really difficult if you are romantically interested in the person who you give advice to. Even if you mean well and don’t try to keep the person you want to be with from being with other, any time a potential person comes up, you will inevitably compare their worst traits to your best. Not just is this insincere, even if you can’t tell in the moment, watching them have feelings for someone else will really hurt.

    I think I’ve had strong romantic feelings for a close friend or best friend 4 times in my life. Once was in school and she never knew so whatever. One time it became obvious and basically ruined the friendship and caused both of us a lot of hurt and without a best friend. The most recent two times were a little different, I was between two friendgroups and sort of ended up in this situation in both. One is now my partner of 4 years and the other is my best friend who I no longer feel that way for. I do think that the final case here would have ended badly if not for the fact that I found the other person in that period.

    I’ve done a lot of rambling here but you really should let them know, it’s probably the most difficult of the choices to do but also no happiness can come from the other options.


  • Hey apologies if I sound like I’m greatly underestimating your maturity but it’s probably better to act on the side of caution.

    Flowers are lovely I really hope she likes them! I also have a best friend who I really want to be happy and would probably appreciate nice flowers, although I’d personally steer away from valentine’s as I wouldn’t want them to be interpreted romantically.

    As for that, I trust you know if you want them to be interpreted as a romantic gesture and you should absolutely let her know they’re from you and if they are or aren’t.

    If you want it to be mysterious if they’re from you, absolutely expect her to either figure it out or assume they’re from someone else secretly and show them gratitude, it’s a rare person who would receive something anonymously and not try to presume the sender.

    It is a really thoughtful gesture to get flowers for someone you care about today in the want for them to be happy, but it’s not fun for anyone if it’s misinterpreted and someone ends up less happy for it.
