i’ve had my pothos for a year now, and this is my very first plant. recently, most of the new growths have had these really long roots (?) grow, when previously they used to just be stubs. is this normal? i currently have the plant wrapped around itself if that means anything.

They are arial roots it’s normal if you get a moss pole you can make it climb if you want you can make that stem touch the soil to make it root in the soil for more stability

it is normal. i don't recommend having the plant wrapped around itself- the vines may grow haphazardly and the plant may choke itself out. if you're looking for a bushier plant, chop \& prop!
