in internet posts it is easy to cut them out of your life. they are hurting you! they aren't listening to you!

they held your hair back. they lent you lipstick. they held your hand at the train station and got you home safe. they rounded on your bully, got loud, said get fucked, spitting-mad in your defense.

they also cut the hair off again. told you that you should really think twice before wearing something like that. took you for granted. took your insecurities and threw them in your face again.

you know logically it should be easy. all the internet advice comments always read it will feel better. like an equation - if a person is rotten, you just remove them. you pull the tooth that's hurting.

but it was never a big flare-up moment. you don't live in a sitcom. they never tried to take your boyfriend or steal from your apartment. they showed up to birthdays and they wrote songs about you and bring you water without you asking. once you found out they carry an emergency inhaler for you, even though you haven't had an asthma attack in years - just in case.

where is the line? people fuck up. sometimes they fuck up badly. sometimes people have raw personalities, like a powerline, and being around them is dangerous. addicting. sometimes they can't help themselves, but you know they're trying. sometimes they are just rough-around-the-edges. sometimes they don't even realize how they sounded when they said that. sometimes it's just - you've both loved each other for so long now, the way this thing hurts goes back to the root.

and that's the fucked up part. you have pushed your fingers against the sweetheart of memory. things these days are electric, tense, harrowing. they didn't used to be. there were a lot of good days in there. sometimes you want to just close your eyes and say can this be over yet? do we still need to be fighting?

doing that would give up any chance you get of getting an apology, but you don't always know that you need an apology, you love them. once they flaked on your birthday party. once they told you to get over it, people are always dying. they also let you crash on their couch for a week after the breakup, handfeeding you when you were so sad you couldn't eat. they are also judgmental about everything, occasionally react to banal statements with an attitude that is weird and fiery. they also love you like a lighthouse sometimes, so strong they cut the storm like lightning.

but the problem is that you might be storm. you might be the thing that needs breaking. what if you are two forces who are desperately, horribly drawn to each other, shaped by the other person's passions, and both good for each other and bad in equal measure.

what if you're both just people, and you're no saint neither.

just cut them off! swallowing the saltwater, you catch yourself in the mirror. you've been shaking more than usual. there's an ache in you that is oblique, loud, impossible to soothe. is this what it looks like? when life is "easier"?

your mouth will always have a hole, is the thing, if you remove the tooth.

#spilled ink #warm up #writeblr #this is about someone specific but feel free to blorbo on main.#tbh this is familial for me so that is an element but it's also about childhood best friends #and probably about ur enemies to lovers blorbo #(but i want to specifically say if ur partner is like this. not necessarily a good partnership lol.)#(the dynamics at play in familial/friend relationships feel equally important and in some ways are HARDER to escape.#bc we can see that this is a potentially toxic romantic foundation.#but in family ? ...... it's toxic and it doesn't stop u from loving them. bc u always have.#and i think that makes it harder. by a lot. which is what this is referencing).#but genuinely and really truly forever feel free to tag ur potentially toxic enemies to lovers on this and all my poetry #here i'll do one for u - adora & catra :x

Mothra and Battra have me in my feelings again and I don't know what to do with it so woe; little doodles be upon us all

this was supposed to be a comic but I almost died just coloring this, I'm not finishing that thing >:(

#Mothra x Battra #Divine Eclipse #Bathra #Allies In A Shared Purpose to Enemies to A Quiet Moment of Reunion Leads To FeelingsTM to Allies Again to Star-Crossed Lovers #What if we had the same duty and purpose but my methods were so drastic that you had to banish me for 12 thousand years #And when I was freed and found you being attacked #I decided to engage your attacker instead of you even if I had good reason to hold grudges #what then #The way Mothra and Battra agreed to take Goji to the ocean so they could seal him in #and Battra made sure to be the one closest to Goji's mouth knowing that was the most dangerous place to be #The way he took the Ferris wheel and wacked it on Goji's head after the thing almost crushed Mothra like he was making a point #The way their wings rested over each other's like they were holding hands while Mothra healed Battra #The way I love these little puppet moths with my whole heart

Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me

#kh #kingdom hearts #sora #sora kh #replica riku #repliku #my art #i drew this just a bit after i finished sora's route in com and started reverse/rebirth. back in march #it's been actual months but every time i think about repliku i hit the thousand-yard stare #and am overwhelmed with so many thoughts and emotions #and his interactions with sora like???!!#“you've never cared about how i felt!” and he runs off tears running down his face like a heartbroken lover?!#and then you don't! see him! he refuses to fight!#next time you see him is about the meteor shower promise and like.#sora claims that he is the one who swore to protect [namine]. repliku makes the same claim #namine didn't invent this memory. it's one they had before. one they shared #namine nor kairi were the promiser/promisee since they weren't on the islands. so it had to have been between sora and riku #or idk. maybe sora and selphie just have this super unexplored complex relationship (kidding)#(that's not even TOUCHING on the charm/necklace situation #nor how sora's memories involved both riku and kairi being overwritten so he starts mixing things up ETC ETC)#and then! at the end of sora's route! right before repliku leaves #he sees that sora returns his feelings and he hits the “take care of kairi” smile #AND THEN HE FUCKING GOES OFF TO KILL RIKU #HE WANTS WHAT THE “REAL” RIKU AND SORA HAVE SO BAD!!!!#and !!! this is AFTER the namine lobotomization #even when he believes he made the promise to namine. even when he is told sora is his enemy. he's STILL like this #his memories/feelings aren't real but seeing that sora cared for him was “good enough” for him??#SORA WAKE UP!! riku's crazy just totally head over heels in love with you!!!#ANYWAY when i was drawing this i was listening to a mamas & papas compilation cd #tip: if you want to cry really hard just listen to 'dream a little dream of me' while thinking about soriku

I will be completely honest, I will never understand why some people ship extremely toxic ships (one sided toxicity I mean)

Like, that dude only wanted your status and poisoned your body and mind, even joining your worst enemy’s side just to get luxury and ignore all the poor he could help by almost killing you, and YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY LOVE EACH OTHER????? Hell nah, get that shit away from me. I like my ships with some flavour, but not this poison (I only allow poison from both sides, they both must be fucked up, and usually I only like it if it’s an au where they are fucked up)

#pat talks #yes I am looking at you #affocacao #I hate you #so much #I also don’t like some others #shadownilla is in an extremely thin line #I love a good enemies to lovers #but not ‘I killed everyone you love because I can’ enemies ti ‘we are some kind of compatible but only if you listen to me only’ lovers #I am also looking at you #burningcheese #and #mysticacao #why is the crk fandom so obsessed with toxic ships?#having purecacao right there!#or even polyancients!#and don’t get me started on dark choco ships #even after his redemption #people ship redeemed choco with sometimes licorice sometimes red velvet #that guy wants freedom he is NOT coming back for some pussy #I hate to break it to ya #and don’t say it’s because I am a chococara shiper #it’s because he deserves respect #I am usually not angry about this things #but I can’t help but hate it #I know they are ‘guilty pleasures’#when you do it once it’s fine #twice is greedy #but this many times?#fuck off

anyone interested in talking about the iconic 2000's middle-grade-bordering-on-ya book series gallagher girls??

#okay incoming rant about this series #i read the first book when i was 10 or 11 and i was absolutely obssessed with it. i read it so many times i had the entire story memorized #the issue was that i could not find the rest of the series anywhere. it was either sold out or out of stock #and then i found out that only the first 3 books had been translated into my first language so at that point i kinda gave up on them #anyway #flashforward to a couple of weeks ago #i was re organizing my bookshelf and on the back i found LYKY (is this how y'all are abreviating it??)#and remembred how much i loved it #and since i'm now fluent in english and was stuck at home recovering from a surgery i decided to download the entire series and read it #to find out what the fuck happened afterwards #long story short i read all six books in 4 or 5 days #and i haven't stopped thinking about them since #it's actually so funny how little information we have in the first book #i went all of these years thinking it was mostly a silly series about a boarding school for spies when actually SO MUCH happens afterwards #i can't believe i went all of these years unaware of zach goode's existence #truly character of all time #but also i can't stop thinking about how interesting it would have been if zach had come to hate the circle and his mom during the series #rather than before #make it a true enemies to lovers #and have us witness that portion of his character developement in real time instead of being told about it #like him slowly realizing through cammie and his time at gallagher that maybe what they were doing is wrong #i think it would have been very interesting to read #although let's be real it took me until halfway through book four to trust him and he was fully one of the good guys so..#but yeah i have a lot more to say but these tags are long enough #gallagher girls #okay i just want to add another funny anecdote about my experience with this series #my copy of LYKY has an age warning in the back recomending that readers should be above 13 yo to read it #and i distinctly remember finishing it and thinking the warning was kind of dumb bcs besides a few mentions of death and other heavier topi #nothing really happened #and now i realize it was a warning for the rest of the series not just the first book because jesus fucking chirst everything after

“they had something” and it’s gihun and frontman ?? im sick

#THEY HAD WHAT? CUS ITS CERTAINLY NOT ENEMIES TO LOVERS #people would ship two brain - eating amoebaes if they were somehow male #and that’s exactly what’s in their fucking heads. it’s the same way fyozai makes no sense to me #a ship doesn’t need to be good for it to work and characters esp ENEMIES should always have some kind of chemistry and understanding of #each other. because that’s what makes it good WITHOUT #ROMANCE. but what i’m tired of it opening any platform and seeing every male relationship (non romantic meaning) boiled down #old man yaoi ….. you’re sick. you’re actually sick like ?!!!!:£:73!:/&/83&&:£: HELLOOOOOOO #HELLOOOOOOOOO #idc it doesn’t make sense to me like call me a hater but im like ??? y’all could have shipped him with jungbae. but you won’t bcs he’s not #attractive to you …. like i’ll say it once and shout it again im sick #it’s the same fucking thing with alien stage man like it was created by two lesbians and has to women front and centre to kick it all off #and the main character is a woman and yet its a BL? KYS #i’m tired. like i don’t hate shipping but im tired of predicting that people will yaoi-ify anything #two ants are looking at each other rn over a crumb of bread and someone would say they’re star crossed #that ant will give up the crumb for his love bcs he needs it more or some shit #yawn. anyway rant over but tldr shit makes no sense to me anymore and it i see one more gihun and frontman edit im propelling myself #into traffic. in front of the person who made it #like some people just can’t let things be non romantic and it’s ??????? sometimes it’s better when it’s not #like not romantic i mean. sometimes things are better when they aren’t trying to fuck each other #the amount of typos can u tell im irritated HDJSJSJSJS #i try not to let this shit bother me but atp it’s all i see. i don’t want jayvik or gihunfrontman smut on my timelines grandpa im tired

they're so the ocean and the sun coded

#part 500 of me making self-indulgent renders in the middle of the night #the crown prince and his very very good pirate friend. platonic pirate friend #who also did try to kill him once and then also planned on killing him months later but you know #the best love stories start with murder attempts and very strong hatred thats just how it works #raegan never hates him back raegan has no survival instinct so hes just like #lmao youre here to kill me? ok do it :) and hollands like what.#enemies to lovers except raegan only engages in the rivalry because he thinks its funny #except theres also a long period between the enemies and lovers part where its just like a question mark #i think they break up like 3 times before theyve even kissed once #i could literally talk about them forever oh my god

can you be baited into talking about the good aesthetics of jingrenheng? the themes? please and thank you and have a nice day?

................okay... just for you anon...

they have complimentary color palettes! jing yuan has a lot of light associations, blade dark associations, and dan heng's teals are gradient or in between

they all have a symbolic plant of sorts, which sounds funny, but it looks pretty. the gingko and the spider lilies and the maple leaves. those are also red orange and yellow which mix well together. and imbibitor lunae has a lotus thing going on but he and dan heng mostly look visually similar

they have sun moon star symbolism. jing yuan is the sun, blade or should i say yingxing (应星) is the star, and dan heng or should i say imbibitor lunae (饮月君) is the moon. you could also argue that jing yuan (景元) is the world that the celestial bodies orbit in... the center of gravity, but also easy to overlook as an unchanging part of the surroundings...

dan heng is also wearing something associated with both of them. yes, The Relic™. BUT his coat also reads the same poem from which jing yuan took the name of starfall reverie

and lastly they are just three beautiful men okay it's impossible for them not to look aesthetic together

THE THEMES ✨

a guy running from his past, a guy chasing it down and driven perpetually by it, and a guy who can do nothing but hold onto it. it's like a soap drama of perfect proportions

someone who represents the right path, someone who represents the wrong path, and someone who represents the neutral path or trailblazes their own path

they were entangled in their previous lives and they remain entangled now, by their own will or otherwise. it can't get any better than this themewise.

renjing

i was going to say something about what each individual ship in the trio brings to the trio but i got distracted. what was i talking about again

okay, renheng has this 'thin line between love and hate going on' (因爱生恨) and it's about the extremes of passion to me. the hunter and the hunted. it's about the things from the past that should be shed but cannot be. then hengjing has the 'reconnecting through lives and through the mire of identity'. it's about forging a future uncolored by the mist of the past while also acknowledging that that past was there and meant something. then renjing has everything renjing has. renjing has

sorry i can't be objective about them renjing has everything because they are my babies

ANYWAY the point is when you put them together you net the ability to explore all of these different relationship dynamics at the same time plus trio dynamics like the mediation, the competition, each of them feeling left out in their own way, varying levels of memory, varying levels of history... a feast for the feasters

i also think jingrenheng successfully resolves all three of their issues in the sense that it's a relatively stable way for each of them to be able to recognize but also make peace with their past, and not let it impede their future. if jingrenheng actually experienced enough character development to get together and not kill each other, that would mean they have fixed things. a win for everybody.

#🌃#honkai: star rail #jingrenheng #those are all my thoughts... i don't think about them often but it was fun #NOW LISTEN TO MY RENJING PROPAGANDA #renjing is childhood friends to lovers #it is ALSO enemies to lovers #it is tragic exes but it is also friends with benefits but it is also a miserable mess of a situationship but it is also #the only two people left who truly remember and understand each other for the goods and the bads #the person who changed and the person who remained the same... but both of them are actually both things #renjing is missed opportunities renjing is SEIZED opportunities renjing is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#okay i'm going to stop talking because i still haven't finished my first fic for renjing week and that's today omg bye #have a nice day my love whoever you are thanks for visiting <3 #oh my god i forgot literally my favorite thing about them. THE ONE WHO LEFT AND THE ONE WHO STAYED

No offense to ppl who actually like fourth wing but it sound like a rough draft or bullet point for a book strung together. I don’t get why ppl were frothing at the mouth over this book

#may delete later #and maybe it’s not for me to get #to each their own #thank you so much readsbyrachel for reading so I didn’t have too #anti fourth wing #the amount of time violet says ‘my scalp prickles’ what does that even mean rebecca #it seem so under developed like why beside her sister telling her xaden going to kill her does she believe when he has done nothing to her #or to show her that he wants to kill her #why is the other dude in the love v so pathetic and not like a good grovel-ly pathetic #he’s just there to annoy us #why did this even need a love triangle not everything does #if she had spent less to try to convince us that this triangle was actually a thing she could’ve developed xaden and violet-#from misconception to acquaintances to mutual liking to awkward unlikely alliances #this isn’t enemies to lovers this is insta love solely on the fact that violet instantly liked him and wouldn’t stop being a creep #and thinking about him even when the next sentence is about how her mom kill his dad or how his family is responsible for her brothers death #anti rebecca yarros
