Ya'ever feel like the inadequate dollar store knockoff of... Everything about you?
Awkward and off-putting and you've got that weird smell and why would anyone ever want to deal with you when there's the good stuff right over there?
No? Just me?

Hi! I'm Phorm, and I'm a Vixdjinn!

I'm a genie girl, who really likes being a genie, and really likes everything about genies (really)! I'm a bit confused, lost, and trying to find my way, but I always enjoy interacting with folks here. (Trans🏳️⚧️, occasionally NSFW, Be 18+ or please be gone.)

Hey, I'm always looking for value greater than the cost on the tag~ <3
Also, yeah, of course. I think everyone has those thoughts from time to time. But we also tend to cut away a lot of important stuff as being extraneous or pointless when it takes the whole package to even be able to understand what makes us special and unique. ^u^
Maybe I do need a more holistic thought process on this. I'm not sure. I guess I'm just having a bad brain day.
✨ So we'll just say it straight up: there is nobody just like you. There is nobody who is special in the precise ways you are. You can't be reduced to a set of generic traits. And we care about you, even on the rough days, even when it's hard to fight against your hyperawareness of your flaws. But we promise, those flaws are not as visible to those outside you. Maybe we're speaking out of turn? But we did want to say we don't want some theoretical more ideal version of you. You're enough.
Just to assure up front: You are not speaking out of turn in the slightest, and your words are very much appreciated.
It's hard sometimes to believe that I offer anything to this existence that anyone wants. Or even anything net positive. But I suppose I am a little too caught up on, as you say, a hyperfixation on my own flaws.
Nevertheless, what you say bolsters me, and I very much appreciate it. Thank you. ❤️
not exactly. I mostly feel like I was the last person at the table to make a d&d character for a prewritten module. so I have a lot of random skills and abilities that are all in optimized because we needed one more person who can do x, y, z...
To extend that metaphor, I feel like that's less that you made a mistake in character design, and more that the game developers were shit at balancing stats for the game.
speaking of unoptimized, my spell check doesn't believe it's a word and made it in optimized because that makes sense...
but yeah that could also be, I mean I can't see the whole system so I don't know how well or badly I'm doing with what I have to work with.
I'm the mysterious Asian knockoff that's clearly using a bootleg all-in-one-chip design, but I have two SIM slots and I'm still working after all these years, after your more expensive toys have been broken or bricked.
Now you - you are that off-brand direct-to-video knockoff that was outsourced to unsupervised, horny college kids. The influencers make their careers out of mocking these things, but every movie is someone's favorite movie. 💓
Sure, everyone talks about the mainstream brands, but those are the kinds of people who Fastpass to Margaritaville, who don't put anything more spicy than black pepper on their boiled hot dogs, and who have never blown anyone in a Motel 6, so who cares about them.
The one that works the way it needs to after all others have crumbled or gone offline is the one you want in any situation. ❤️
Also, I hope that I at least have a really good and/or really bad musical number that defies expectations and launches a thousand meme covers.
I do appreciate more spice than one night expect, so to speak, and I also appreciate your words. I suppose it's just that sometimes, you realize just how little the world needs or wants you, and it's hard to deal with.
(Also, kudos to you for sniping me for a +10 Crit directly, but did you have to deploy a Saberspark reference? Well done indeed, but I may never recover!)
