#GRUDGES

[josefavomjaaga]

I just learned that Napoleon in his final will left 10,000 Franc to a man who had tried to shoot Wellington while the latter was at the top of the occupation army in France (1818).

As my silly little Australian Paramore tour came to a close yesterday it only felt appropriate to finally post these uwu

I'd been working on these for a while! So it's good to finally share them with the world and maybe even tease some potential future endeavours...

EDIT: now with added AWKIF and S/T eras that I properly finished!!

Y'all call it "holding grudges" I call it I saw who you are and I'm not unseeing it.

Whump Prompt #1341

Anon asked:

Prompts for older sibling whumpee + younger sibling caretaker? Younger sibling holds slight grudge against whumpee ("you still remember that?" "how could i forget?!"). The Whumpee is athletic/competitive.

Here's a few:

After much deliberation the younger sibling reluctantly cares for the older whumpee after an injury incurred during a competitive/sided event. Maybe a sibling was part of the wrong crowd and was cooerced into believing the older sibling is the enemy. Still, they don’t fully believe the rumours when they see their sibling bleeding out.

Maybe there’s a flashback of the older always helping the youngest through something, and the youngest always says they’ll help them back. Despite the resentment they may have due to the grudge, they still have a promise to uphold.

^ “So… you’re helping me because I got things off the top shelf for you?” / “You taught me to drive. You put plasters on my cuts and got [childhood bully] to leave me alone.” / “You feel like you have to because I helped you?” / “Because you were my brother.”

The younger sibling, while tending to the whumpee's injury, can't help but bring up past. It’s a low blow considering how awful the whumpee already feels.

The younger sibling begrudgingly assists the whumpee, and uses an odd mix of sarcasm and caring words.

Maybe the older siblings competitive drive had previously overshadowed the younger sibling's achievements, leading to a heart-to-heart conversation about feeling overshadowed and undervalued. Maybe this is why the younger sibling turned to the Bad Guys.

However, while the younger sibling initially resented the older one, they eventually become a source of unwavering support during the whumpees recovery, acknowledging growth and maturity in their older sibling (and vice-versa)

I don't get it. How was Nico's fatal flaws ever holding grudges? I see it with Bianca, but Nico?

[an-indecisive-nerd]

People who don't hold grudges, or don't think they do, sometimes think it's easy to see what a grudge looks like. They think it's about plotting revenge, brooding in corners, and despising those who wronged you.

It's not. Not for me.

For me, it's a tally.

I like to think that I'm fairly slow to anger. I don't fly into a rage at the slightest annoyance. But when I do get angry, I get very angry.

I've never let anyone see the full extent of my rage before. No one but myself. And that's a good thing, because if anyone ever did see me truly angry, someone would get hurt.

I'm slow to anger.

I feel anger intensely.

I'm quick to suppress it.

But I hold a grudge.

Every time someone angers me, even if only slightly, I add a tally. I have little boards in my mind, one for every person, and every time they anger me, I add a tally.

Some boards are so red with tallies you can't even see the material they were made from.

And the people I love most? Well, their boards are some of the most covered.

I don't erase the tallies out of love. I don't pretend they aren't there. I can't. I can't let it go.

So instead, I draw little hearts around each tally. I paint them as character flaws, the negative qualities that I love about them.

And every time they start to anger me, and every single previous tally swirls around in my brain, I pretend that the red I'm seeing is just the colour of my sunglasses, and as soon as the sun goes behind the clouds, I can take them off.

But I can't. I have to wait till I'm alone and pry the red from my eyes. Bleed them dry.

And then I mark down a new tally.

Then I go back as if nothing happened.

And I draw a heart around it.

But how do I know if those hearts are deserved? How do I know how many tallies are too many if I can never bring myself to erase any, no matter how small?

I don't. I don't know.

That's why I let him stay and let her go.

That's why I don't talk to her anymore, but he does no wrong.

That's why there are just as many tallies on my skin as there are on his board, but not anywhere near as many hearts.

Because I can never erase those tallies.

With god, even the most deeply rooted hate can be altered into peace.🤍

__________________________________________

Step one- Recognize your grudge, who it’s against and the real reason why.

. You may not like the REAL, raw reason why, but you have to recognize it. You have to take in account all of your feelings toward them and what they did. Not just say what you tell people on why you don’t like said person because it may not be the full, unfiltered reason why.

Step two- tell God everything about it, every little detail and everything you feel, remember, he’s here for you. Jeremiah 33:3

Step three- has this person changed their actions? Or are there any distinct signs of improvement in their behavior?

Yes —-> Be grateful, take deep breaths and thank God for their positive change, this will help you more with moving on.

No ——> Pray for them. The Bible teaches us to not spew any venomous hate out of our mouths but instead, pray for them. It’ll make you feel better.

If yes…..

Now that you know that said person has tried to improve, you should take it as a sign to improve yourself as well. You are a wildflower, let yourself grow. Resentment stops you from that. Know that humans have complex emotions and holding a grudge is sometimes a thing you do subconsciously if the feelings go unaddressed.

No- know that you’re a person of God, his child. When you see that people are growing in God like they should pray for them. It helps you stop holding grudges and learn to have more gratitude for Gods graciousness. If they still hold anger in their heart, pray for them and grace them with the love of God to heal their soul.

Step four- Find stuff in said person that you like. Little or big, doesn’t matter how small. Learn to see the good in every single person. As God has created them as he created you. 2 John 1:6

Step five- create a regular prayer schedule and regularly pray about it. Power is prayer. Trust me, prayer has helped me get out of some really deep holes and a lot of nasty sin, but it did help me love more people and find more peace as well. God is always there for you, a prayer away, and always holding you up strong. Romans 15:13

Step six- stop gossiping about them. Proverbs 18:20, 1 Peter 2:1. This has helped me a ton. Yes, when something that makes you mad/ upset happens the first thing you do is obviously go to God and your friends about it. Once you’ve gotten the venting out of your system there’s no need to speak about it with anyone but God or a mental health professional. No, I don’t mean that you should keep it a secret, but to gossip is a sin, and it’ll hold you back from growing.

Step 7- Mentally be at peace with them in your head, mentally forgive, and be at peace with them. To forgive is a great power, and it holds the upmost amount of peace of mind. Luke 6:35, Ephesians 4: 32, Romans 12:17.

“Never pay back evil with more evil” Romans 12:17. Revenge, spite, are all things of the enemy and will damage your spirit.

Always remember, God is here and.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.”
