My friend, proofreading something: Wow, you write Luis getting persuaded into the cult so well, it’s almost like you seen it firsthand.
Me: Oh thank you.
Also me: They don’t know, do they?
#the embers are speaking#anyways for context#I was in a cult once#I’m not anymore I’m healing from it#I’m in a better place now#not a good thing at all but#hey at least I can write cult stuff well#trauma doesn’t make you stronger it makes you write things realistically (for me anyways)#granted they didn’t try and make a parasite take over the world but I at least got the basic workings down#this was posted because I found it funny#don’t try and be sorry for me please#I am doing better#serious note: don’t join cults#they’re not fun they’re not cool#avoiding main tags because it’s about me not really anything else#tw cult#cult mention

when i remember everything i let slide
#reflecting…#you hear stories on tiktok from girls saying things they let their bfs get away with and you’re like girl get UP#but when you go through something similar you think your case is different#until you look back after you’ve healed#all this is coming from the fact i’m seeing our mutual friend on friday#and i know she’ll bring him up#and i swear i’m 100% over him and i don’t want him back#but i do NOT wanna learn his news#his name gives me anxiety and a stomach ache#not bc i love him anymore but bc of all the things he put me through#i wish he wasn’t affecting me anymore but i’m recognizing it’s not bc i have feelings but bc of all the hurt he caused me

thinking about tommys death and resurrection. thinking about dream, with no access to anything outside of what is in his cell. dream, bludgeoning tommys corpse and tearing apart skin and muscle to grab at his new tools. dream, with bone shards for scalpels and sewing needles, with tendon for string. tommy wasn’t using it right anyway. dream, who puts tommy back together piece by piece, just to destroy him again. and tommy, who is broken and made anew over and over, tommy, who paradoxically loses as much flesh as he gains, tommy, who is never whole but retains all the pieces, tommy, who’s cracks are not filled with gold but his own flesh, twisted and wrong, tommy, who’s broken and ugly, tommy, who walks with a limp now, tommy, whos bones never set right, tommy, who never fully left the prison, tommy, who is still sitting shiny and new on dreams countertop.
#ctommy#cdream#dsmp#dsmpblr#cdiscduo#just thinking#yknow tommy really is Jesus#like fr#anyway I think dream took from the Achilles tendon to be extra cruel#bc it’s easier to hunt down a wounded animal#I don’t think tommy heals right anymore#so he has to be more careful about what he does#truly no longer the carefree child he once was#q#I think the prison death/revival arc is fucked up enough on its own#but I’m here to make it more fucked and gruesome#tw gore ig#gore#gore-adjacent#c!tommy#c!dream#c!discduo#disc duo#my writing

#i’m just whining at this point ignore me#man. don’t you love needing surgery right at the start of your break so now you couldn’t do anything besides lying down terribly in pain an#exhausted???#and it’s healing and all but you still can’t walk without feeling like someone is hammering a nail into the wound#ahah ha. ha.#of course i still worry about it getting worse somehow.#and it’s affecting the blorbo time as well and i hate it so much#constant worry about larian making changes to the game that would force me to scrap everything and just.#idk that worry about a sense of belonging i guess. but it’s fine it’s whatever i won’t have as much time#for creative shit anymore because i should have started studying days ago 👍#which is so hard to do when you’re in pain and during the rare moments you’re not you’re exhausted from it but whatever it’ll be fine i’m#idk idk

you know, for years I’ve either been primarily occupied with some past knot that I was trying to mentally unravel into what-might-have-beens and closure or with some imaginary future that I was painting in my head based on illusory signs. but lately I’ve been pretty securely ensconced in the present moment. occasionally I indulge in gazing back to look for the invisible string or peering around the corner to wonder what might be coming next, but mostly I’m just thinking about the now, and how happy I am in it. what’s on my mind is going for little walks, and washing the dishes while someone else dries.
#in which cate tells stories#and the thing is I didn’t know I COULD stay in the present moment!! I didn’t know I was capable!#I was horribly worried that something was broken in my mind!!!#when I said I will not give into my delusional daydreams that was me clinging by my fingernails because I didn’t know how to NOT#but it ended up being so easy????#I don’t know why and I don’t know how!!!#because it was something I struggled with for ages and ages but maybe what had to change wasn’t me but my circumstances#which. thanks I hate it. if you told that to past me she would punch you out.#but healing and happiness wasn’t something I could create for myself or practice. it was something I had to be given#which is so monstrously unfair for the years I was unhappy and unhealed!!!#feels like there LITERALLY wasn’t enough happiness in my life for me to hold on to I HAD to escape in one way or another#and now that my life has changed I don’t have to flee from reality like that#I don’t HAVE to be a I Wish You Would Elvis Song girlie anymore#the past is past! there it was there it goes!#now all I can do is be GRATEFUL#for something I didn’t anticipate didn’t create didn’t mastermind control#I have no practice at this!!!#but I’m not somehow unprepared for it#i will still not be elaborating at this time#ANYWAY ignore me

Evan kelmp man that you are ……………..
#the psychosis metaphor. the guard dog nature. it’s not a wound it’s just healed badly. i realize this thing is just here to hurt people and#I think man I know that song and I keep kicking. telling stories that are normal to you to get a worried looks and ppl asking if you’re okay#literally brennans explanation of how evan felt fighting that salamander was so.#this character was created in a lab to make me specifically crazy. and boy oh boy is it working !#I can’t get over aabria referring to his arm as ‘not a wound just healed badly’ and that the only way to fix it is to break it again and k#being so convinced they can help it’s so. I can’t put into words buts it’s so. that’s their whole everything.#evan isn’t broken he’s just healed wrong and people around him can’t or won’t accept that. and it’s coming from a good place (sometimes)#but it has the same effect in the long run which is the reinforcement that he is wrong and bad and needs to change but he CANT bc he HAS#healed. he isn’t carrying around an open wound he has worked on that but that shit never goes away. it’s there forever and it looks wrong an#scary to people and it probably always will but it works#he said it’s different metrics of success I kept the arm and then k tries to fix and he loses the arm. do you understand me.#do you you see. can anyone fucking hear me.#it’s about being so scary to the people you love that your success is still cause for concern and they don’t understand that you’re doing#better !! you are doing good !! I’m not sad anymore he said and it’s. oh god.#anyway mismag makes me feel ill if I think about it too long so I have to stop now#prsnl

It hurts again and again that the only person I can save is myself
#my closest friend just ended our friendship. I don’t know how to feel#obviously I’m sad but also not as sad as I thought? I feel like#I have matured and no longer see losing someone as the end of the world#but maybe I’m also just numb and it will kick in later#morris I loved you and still do. some things will always remind me of you#and I’m sorry it had to end this way. I’m sorry that we hurt each other.#more than anything I’m angry at all the people who hurt us before we even met#everything that made us have such a hard time trusting other people#maybe in another life we could have loved each other properly#I’m sorry again. but I also know that I don’t want to be a part of that unhealthy dynamic anymore#you taught me so much and you were the first person I’m not related to who truly felt like family#I hope you find a way to heal#I hope you keep my letters and think of me from time to time#I chopped jalapenos today and as usual forgot to wash my hands#got some in my eye and now it hurts to shed tears physically as well as emotionally#I wish that someday we could reconnect when we’ve grown more. even if it’s years or decades from now#I know it’s probably not going to happen#goodbye old friend#words words words

For my wife’s bday her friend is hosting a Barbie movie party (we haven’t seen it) and it’s so cute my wife gets to get all dressed up and be so cute but my relationship with femininity and womanhood is so bad I’ve been scared to watch it and dressing up sounds nauseating
#grief over female friendships that never healed and general trauma from various female circles I’ve been forced into#I only was accepted into femininity it felt by certain friends and i don’t have that anymore#I have queerness#which feels deeply different#so I think maybe I’ll bleach my hair and be Ken#I don’t have any deep trauma over my masculine side or even my neutral in-between side#I’m not gender-fluid but I subscribe to the newsletter 😂

Hitoya's line of "Don’t you think it’s lame to have dusty old memories?" from If I Follow My Heart to "I clutch this monochrome portrait close" in Closer. I don't know where I'm going with that it's just the VIBES you know. Please tell me you feel it too.
hitoya knowing that it sucks he’s so stuck in the past but the past is all he has to remember him by so he holds on tight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! i think it’s very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#vee got an ask#hitoya’s not so stuck in place anymore and i think it’s really nice he’s trying to heal jakurai with his lightened heart in the song 😭#like it makes me think back to their backstory how jakurai pleaded hitoya to save people before he left for war#and hitoya has in his own way different from how they both intended but hitoya’s paying it back a little by reaching out to sensei 😭😭😭#they’re very good i’m so happy they’ve rekindled their friendship 😭😭😭😭😭😭

i am losing my mind
#god is testing me this is just a test this is just a cruel joke#vanus thoughts#i’m going to go insane#i seriously dont know what to do i’m so tired of all this#too much is happening at once and at the same time i feel like nothing is happening and i will stay in this place forever#i just want to live in a cottage far far away on a shore that has never been visited and is not on any map so no one from this life can find#me and i will never interact with another human being and i will be lonely but at least i will be free because what the fuck is this#i swear to god when i leave this place i will never come back they might haunt me but they wont hurt me any more than they have#i need a new fucking life new hair new clothes new body new people new love#i will go to a new place#where no one doubts my memory and makes me question myself and makes me stay quiet and no one will force me to act like an adult when i’m 16#and i will rest and heal and work#but i don’t want to be here anymore#why did i pour my heart out into these tags no one will read them#this makes me a little sad

Been rereading Six of Crows and it just makes the whole crows’ storylines from S&B season 2 so much worse. Kaz’ motivation for taking the heist is to use his share of the money to become powerful enough to destroy Pekka…but he already did that. (Not to mention his seeming goodwill and patriotism in the Ice Heist introduction at the end that completely goes against his entire character.) Inej’s motivation (maybe not at first but later) is to use her money for a crew to hunt slavers…but she already did that. A big part of Jesper’s growth throughout the duology is accepting that he is Grisha…but he already did that. A big part of Wylan’s storyline is proving himself to Jesper and the crows…but he already did that. Nina has a whole thing about not being properly trained, but in the show she is. Even Matthias already “fought” the wolves…except he didn’t. I feel like everything they did with the crows this season undermines so much of their actual storyline and I want to have hope in this spinoff (if we ever get it), but I have no idea how they’re going to do it when they already used so much for the show
#six of crows#shadow and bone#shadow and bone spoilers#what i loved so much about their storyline in season 1 is none of it contradicted their book storylines#and they just threw all of that away in season 2#i want this spinoff so much#but as Im reading the book I’m realizing how much they would have to change#i did enjoy the show (minus the Pekka storyline)#and i loved what they did with wesper tbh#which I think they can work with later#and they can work around the damage they did to the other ships#but so much of their growth happened too soon#kaz getting his revenge was supposed to be the start of his ability to heal#but he already got that and still isn’t so what else does he need to do???#and what are their plans with Pekka being in prison?#i Didn’t read S&B so I can’t speak to the damage did there (though I am sympathetic)#but i just don’t know what to exepect from this spinoff anymore

at this point im just speeding through chapter one of lover boy like im trying to get through the perfume department
#ON A LINE LEVEL NOT BAD!!! NOT BAD ON A PLOT BEAT LEVEL EITHER!!!!#I definitely know I want to completely rework the opening but want to wait until I’ve written more#but also it’s just like im not used to this balance yet#of the grief but also the earnest silliness etc etc….it’s my own experience of grief but it takes getting used to#definitely hard to strike the balance from a writing pov#i have not been this consistent in a novel draft in a while but the last time I was the story was like. thematically + emotionally simpler#I think it definitely is a case of writing the first chapter closer to last but I’m gonna get thru the plot beats you know#also we’re deep in the tags so I’ll get mildly over sharing I need to be DONEEE with the bobby death flashback#I won’t detail what it looks like but it’s a scene that def takes from my experience of seeing someone dead and is very cathartic#VERY proud of what I’ve already written#but absolutely not a scene I can dwell on I need to be past it#chapter 2 in contrast has some super sweet Bobby flashbacks and I want to be there. I need healing#I don’t want to think about his dead body anymore :(#like it’s not triggering. but I need to be in the right frame of mind to write it#and the longer it takes me to get there the less I am in the right frame of mind bc I’m like anticipating it

Hi! This might not be too helpful but I thought I'd share anyway just in case. You wrote in an ask reply tag that you realized that you are not a person who is okay but that it is alright. That reminded me so much of some of my own realisations about myself. I've come to learn that I cannot handle as much as others. Cannot take on as many tasks, as many meet ups (even friendly), or fill my day with as many things as people around me. It always felt like that meant that I was somehow less or weaker. But runninng into the same phenomenon over and over again made me question things. Also I would never think this about anyone else, this painful way of thinking was only reserved for myself. But with time I figured that maybe it was absolutely okay to have a different capacity for things. This is FINE. I'm not wrong or weak for this. Don't get me wrong, its still a daily struggle to remind myself, but it does get easier to believe.
So when I read this tag of yours I was really hoping that you meant it in a similar way, where this knowledge can bring comfort. You deserve the comfort! Wish I could hug you tightly 🫂
i love that you sent me this ask. i love that you worked (and are working) towards acceptance and respect and gentleness. you deserve that and i’m proud of you 🤍
as for myself, it’s a bit like that too, yeah
“i’m not okay but it’s fine it’s fine we move on anyway”
some days it means “i’m not okay but what the hell am i gonna do about it now except watch cartoons and try not to think until not being okay is not as prevalent and choking anymore”
some days it means “i’m not okay but i’ll try anyway, who knows what good might come of it”
some days it means “i’m not okay but in 10 minutes or an hour or tomorrow might be so i’ll put myself out there”
some days it means “i’m not okay and i haven’t been and maybe never will be and i get to mourn that, i get to be angry for all the past versions of myself who were refused help, i get to do things for them, because we are not okay and we get to be angry but still we deserve nice things”
some days it means “i’m not okay and that’s fine because there are people who will help me”
some days it means “i’m not okay and i will take a break now, i will breathe and try again later, or accept that simply cannot do this right now”
sometimes we just live with that mental limp, and some days it’s worse than others. we can’t pretend like it’s not there — what good would that bring? no, we just live with it. it’s fine, it’s fine, we move on anyway. but still we get to decide how and at what pace and in which direction we move on. it’s just the moving on part that is non-negotiable, and i feel like we deserve more credit for that — mostly from ourselves.
#i’ll go and stop trying to do my homework or work on my projects and presentations and oral exams that are coming up#they won’t let me breathe right now i don’t wanna do this anymore i can’t think i can’t access my brain#so what point is there in making myself cry when what i need to do is accept that i can’t do this today?#i don’t move on from the desperation and breathlessness and sobbin but instead move on from the thing that hurts my brain#i don’t mean to like. be mentally ill on main but goddamn 😂😂#anyway i really do love that you sent me this ask nonnie i don’t know if i’m making sense but in my defense i am crying lmao#and i want 2023 to be over i want summer to be over but i don’t want the winter either and i might actually be in some sort of crisis idk#anyway uh everyone listen to ‘looking for something’ by CASTLEBEAT. that’ll heal you

Happy anniversary to Landon being freed from the writers
#text#my posts#doesn’t really feel like a year since the cancellation#but i’m still so grateful that at least the writers can’t hurt landon anymore#he's living his best life with hope rn#got out of limbo with his emotions and phoenix powers back#got to recover from all that he went through#and hope did too#they got to heal together#they got raf back as well of course#and now they're all living happily in new orleans

shamelessly vagueing here and this sounds harsh but jesus some people really need to start realising not everything is about them.
not in a stuck up, the world revolves around me, arrogant way. but in a they’re not laughing about you, they’re not gossiping about you, you’re just insecure, reading into every little thing, hurt and need help type of way.
#it annoys me so much and i feel so bad saying it because i used to be one of those people but people really just need to take my word here#and no amount of reassurance will help these people it will only make it worse because they feed off of it and if you don’t reassure them#they’ll think you’ve betrayed them and have been talking about them next#i’ve been one of these people and I KNOW it feels really shitty and it’s really hard to get through but there comes a point where it’s just#straight up self sabotage#its not about other people anymore you’re just doing it to yourself#and it honestly pisses me off because from an outside perspective you’re just bringing everyone else down instead of doing anything about i#i KNOW mental health is more nuanced than that and that sounds so mean but ugjansiwnsjwo it’s just been annoying me#i’ll support you 100% but you cannot be coming to me every single day saying you know blah blah blah hates you when actually they think the#are your friend#so now YOURE the one talking behind peoples backs and hurting people and i CANNOT STAND ITTTTT!!!!!#just ugh#vague posting for the fun of it and it’s 6:00am and need something to distract me from crocheting#and i’m really trying not to be mean by saying all of this#just a post made out of frustration#i want nothing but healing for these people all they’re doing is pushing more people away and i don’t think they realise it and they put th#blame on others instead#because that’s exactly what i did#and looking back i was a really shitty person to these people and am so sorry 😭#long notes rant but please someone tell me they know what i mean by this 😭#irls got me worked up 😭#alèssi says things#pleeeeease someone understand and know i’m not just jumping on depressed people 😭🥲🥲#(editing to add by being really shitty to these people i don’t mean the insecure ones i mean my friends when i was like this)
