i'm not even flirting, what do you mean? i just tell the truth i don't flirt🙂 habsdhvs no but i think it's cute that you thought we were best friends, we've only been close and interacting like this on the tl for a few months, i think rudy and sass and others are much closer to being considered cloud's best friends (in this kpop/online space at least) and kira and bean and others are who i would consider mine here. i guess you could say the cliche thing of soulmates/lovers are also best friends, but also i just think.. your best friend platonically speaking is a different thing to the kind of best friendship you have in your soulmate connection. yk what i mean? so it's endearing to me that you, or anyone, would think i'm clouds best friend platonically when from my perspective that's clearly the other people i mentioned who were around long before me jhdbshd i'm taking that as a big compliment thank you 🩷

the posting thing is personal preferences yeah, we have a Pred/prey dynamic i very much like to be the one chasing them and forcing them into acts of exhibitionism on the tl hjbsdhbs they post about me here and there and i like it that way bcs it's like a little surprise and a sweet gesture, but i don't really benefit from feeling pursued, so it would be unusual/not fit the dynamic if they were doing that all the time. i also think they don't benefit from being the pursuer. we both like when cloud feels like i'm constantly watching them and dangling them in front of others etc, it's fulfilling for us!

that's a good question abt jealousy, i think first let's start by drawing a distinction btwn jealousy and possessiveness. jealousy/envy is when you want something others have, possessiveness is when you want what you have to just be yours. in a certain specific way, cloud is mine. so i do have possessive and greedy feelings ofc, that's one of the things they like about me, but i'm also a responsible sane person who knows how to separate their feelings from the truth and not let it dictate their actions etc and knows how to covet their feelings for exactly what they are (which is to say, a personal experience). so, for example, if something made me feel a little possessive, i would just be okay with feeling that way shdbs it's fun, maybe i could even use it playfully to tease a little yk for horny purposes but it would never be a negative thing for me, certainly it could never be jealousy bcs i'm very self assured and i know what claim i have sdbsbh greed is just a feeling, it's very normal, and it doesn't manifest into my expectations of them. i also trust cloud implicitly and i want cloud to be happy, to have a good strong support system in their life, to have meaningful bonds, to get the most out of this life!! i want them to love and be loved!! you mentioned rudy specifically, i have sooo much respect for rudy and all the ways in which they show up for cloud, i can very much see why cloud cares about them and loves them so much. that's my alpha-in-law!! i'm really grateful for the bond they have i hope it lasts a lifetime, even though we don't really know each other they are certainly important to me, bcs they make my cloud happy<3
