#Same old story

[saints-who-never-existed]

I love Dundy so so much but Christ, do I hate how fucking calm he seems in that Lawful Mutiny scene...!

Little is riled the fuck up. He's the most animated and impassioned we've perhaps ever seen him, using uncharacteristically expressive language too ("this coven of traitors", "that devil").

Le Vesconte, in sharp contrast, appears cool and collected, to the point of complete detachment and numbness (I say appears because of course he's suffering too). He speaks slowly and plainly, clearly having rehearsed, and chooses his words very very carefully indeed (those too ill to walk will not be left behind, for example, they'll just "stay").

It's almost like he's that arsehole in a disagreement who tries to convince you that they're right just because they're arguing in a calm, 'logical', grammatically-correct manner, and you're wrong just because you're getting passionate and emotional over the subject at hand.

Like, just imagine being Little in that situation!

You've been suppressing your emotions for god knows how long, keeping your anger and resentment simmering just below the surface for as long as you can remember for fear of what will happen if you let those emotions show, fear that it'll just make things worse.

But finally you can suppress no longer, something in you breaks. All that anger and resentment starts to boil over but you find that you were right - letting those emotions show didn't help at all, it made everything worse, just as you feared.

Same old story

[bookworm-jedi]

Watching the first two episodes of the Ahsoka series has me back on my bullshit.

[feralchaton]

I'm the voice inside your head. You refuse to hear

I'm the face that you have to face. Mirroring your stare

I'm what's left. I'm what's right. I'm the enemy

I'm the hand that'll take you down. Bring you to your knees

So, who are you?

[coldbreathwarmheart]

so i think i stopped believing in love-at-first-sight awhile ago. i think i stopped believing in The Spark, and also in soulmates-- not in an anti-love way, but in the sense of believing that love is something to be built together. not something that you just stumble across, fully formed.

i think, right now, it's enough just to be curious. to wonder where this could go. to understand that he is kind and that i am worth-- something, to him. i am worth treating carefully. i am worth kindness.

i have a fear of settling for someone simply because they love me enough. i have a fear of ignoring my own feelings. i used to think i would never feel giddy-in-love again, but then i did. and then the two people i cared about most ended up being the ones who hurt me the worst.

i should come with a warning label. fragile. handle with care. whoever glued me back together did a bad job of it.

i was smiling so much. i don't know if that means anything.

will it be okay this time?

This is my life

Because she was lonely. People were meant to have support groups, but somehow she cycled through communities . . . and ended up alone.

I haven’t written full smut in so long I am questioning everything

Seems like Batman is always at 20 percent and can’t heal fast enough.

[patchyourbrokenwings]

i hate that when i take a rest day and barely do anything productive, i almost instantly feel depressed and guilty. i am allowed to rest as much as i need to so why is my brain trying to convince me otherwise??

[caprigender]

Im a solid 9 hours of sleep kinda guy but for the past week or so I’ve been up past 12 each night doing homework and getting up at 6-630 to drive to work and it’s really not been going well for me

I did manage to get the big project done (and I believe done well) tonight a day before it is due

but I need to go immediately back into the breach tomorrow to keep up with my other classes

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, 'same old story'

Per Linda: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “a repeated story.” Include in your post a story you’ve repeated again and again or a story you’ve heard again and again. Or write about the phenomenon itself. Have fun! What did you do all day? Why are you so late to the blog? Well, it’s the same ole story. Yesterday I found a mistake a few rows back and today I’ve been…

Another dream- variation on a theme

As if looking through a window

You peered at me and shook your head

I had tried to move towards you

But i see, the moment was ‘misread

Tiles bounced rejection around

Louder than any sound I could produce

I turned and tried to plead my case

I didn’t deserve this emotional abuse

You frowned a frown I know too well

The one where you feel you can’t say that I’m wrong

Picking words and feeling your own pain

You always seemed so strong

You’d already thought this would be hard

That maybe we should have more space

You’d already known you wouldn’t want this disappointment clear as day upon your face

Meanwhile my heart breaks anew,

I try to leave this dream in which I’m drowning

only to awake into the same bleak nightmare

To another empty day on the horizon crowning
