GANDER’S GANDER INTO THE FOLKS OF CHITTR PART ⒈⒌ — @invasive♥bug (aww!) Bodie !!!!! (That’s five exclamation marks for you!) Folks, I have a theory. This BODIE FELLOW? Yeah, their name is an ACRONYM. Bodie ACTUALLY STANDS FOR: B - BUBBLY O - OVERDRIVE D - DETERMINED I - Nevermind I couldn't come ↑ with anything else E - I don’t know where I was going with that. Actually, I MIGHT’VE been onto something, I just need to work smarter, not farter. And besides, the name Bodie feels like it MEANS something, aside from the fact it rolls off the lingual muscle effortlessly. Bodie. Bodie. Bodie. I’m saying his name as I’m typing this. VERY FUN, BUT I DIGRESS. Unclaimed mail gets returned to sender, let’s Take A Gander at our Buddy Bodie! (CHEER!!!) Oh, Bodie. That was literally the first (⒈st) thing I thought of by the way. And I say that with a lot of affection. They take the STRAWBERRY CONFECTION SLICE for the most optimistic user on the site. He has a way of making his content feel like a call from hive, austere and sweet, nearly nostalgic, in a way? They give tender peeks into their LIFELY HAPPENINGS, their Old Man (tell Divaan I say hi), their unconventional plushcreature-sewing* (a hi to Sticky as well), and their journey as they explore A CURIOUS ILLUMINATIONHIVE. No spoilers here, but even as some more CONFRONTING truths were revealed, Bodie tries to keep his head ↑ and look for the silver lining. Bodie lives in their own world, kinder than the ones we live in. To be frank, they don’t necessarily post for the sake of attention, and yet it comes to them like moths to a frame. I s↑pose SOME OF US have that magnetic ability——it’s hard to scroll past without having a quick skim of what THEY HAVE TO SAY. He is the face of kindness, taking those under his elytra (bug pun). They have a way of turning a collection of posts into an open-armed respite from the HUSTLING CHITBUSTLE. It’s relieving. But there’s a part of me that knows how afraid he can be, even when he tries to keep his head ↑. He wishes he can have his pusher open for everyone (⒈) to see, but he grapples with his own worries. Their secrets weigh heavy on them, and there are times where the optimism fades, if only briefly, to reveal a nuanced labyrinth of insecurity. He wants to stand tall, to keep exploring, but there are little outside spaces——beyond his local vantage point——that he can trust to confide in. I’m not one to conjecture, but I surmise a bad experience or more has stoked a layer of fear that hangs contingent on wanting to be ‘NORMAL’. (But are any of us normal? What IS the standard?) Your curiosity does not constitute naivety; you are a lot more than your excitably friendly front. You and I don’t necessarily know each other, but it’s completely OK to be vulnerable when you can’t keep a smile. I DON’T DOUBT that you can be tough, that you can raise your fists and arm your words when trouble calls. But it’s also OK to be vulnerable. Cry in the rain. Wear that skirt. Go outside. Be weird, be UNCONVENTIONAL. Be the patterns you weave into the strangest of lovable fiends. It can be exhausting, sometimes, to stay positive all the time, to balance normalcy like Alternia on Attlas’ back all the time. Just PLEASE don’t hide yourself. (SUSPECTED CLAS-SPECT: HEIR OF HEART? Alt. HOPE?) (ROGUE!!!!!!!!!! GGRAAHHH!!!!!) (There are cases where I’m a little stuck on two different aspects, especially since HEART AND HOPE tend to blur. But I know FOR CERTAIN you inspire heart/hope in others, and have a large cache of heart/hope at your own disposal.) I have a question for you: In the face of adversity, would you RECALIBRATE YOUR ENDGOAL, even if it was important to you? Or CONTINUE PURSUING YOUR ENDGOAL, even if it might harm you? Be sure to give this Thembo a follow, your s↑port, your life savings, AND a place on your INHERITANCE SCHEME. (A Joke, Probably.) I will see you in the next one! * Do you also take plushie commissions? #gandertag
