“soon you’ll get better” by @sam-loves-seb

post-canon: ian isn’t doing well and mickey drinks to cope

day 19

“But why?" Mickey asks. "Is your life that bad?""It's not," Ian says quickly, his face slightly panicked. "I swear it's not, Mickey. It doesn't... work like that." He looks down at his lap, curls his free hand into a loose fist. He gets quiet. "There were these thoughts in my head, and they were so fucking... loud. They wouldn't stop. And I couldn't... It got to a point where I felt like I couldn't ignore them anymore.”

the hedgehog's dilemma

The hedgehog's dilemma, or sometimes the porcupine dilemma, is a metaphor about the challenges of human intimacy. It describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs seek to move close to one another to share heat during cold weather. They must remain apart, however, as they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp spines. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship, this may not occur, for reasons they cannot avoid.

Arthur Schopenhauer conceived this metaphor for the state of the individual in society. Despite goodwill, humans cannot be intimate without the risk of mutual harm, leading to cautious and tentative relationships. It is wise to be guarded with others for fear of getting hurt and also fear of causing hurt. The dilemma may encourage self-imposed isolation.

“ You love someone who isn't here anymore, okay? He left the building and set the shit on fire. So get the fuck out! Get the fuck out before you burn to death! “ -— (5x12 original script)

"It's not up to you to decide how much I can take. That's my choice."

"I don't know where this will leave me."

"I know."

"If you found someone else, I'd forgive you."

"But they wouldn't be you."

You. Her words made me see something for the first time. Where I saw a person I no longer recognized, Lauren saw the same man she loved, who happened to be suffering from an illness. She reminded me that, beneath my symptoms, I was still me. (source)

i reached for you but you were gone, i knew I had to go back home. you search the world for something else to make you feel like what we had, and in the end, in wonderland, we both went mad.
