#THEY'RE GONNA MAKE EACH OTHER'S WORLD BRIGHTER!!!!!!!

[stormyoceans]

I see dark tones, dark clothes, closed curtains. I see drama here. can we imagine that this will be a reverse concept, and the more Day loses his sight and gets closer to Mork, the more light tones will appear in their lives? unearthly theories are our everything. Besides, I've already appreciated Sea's blank stare. Do you have any thoughts on this, Monica?

YOU’VE ALREADY PRETTY MUCH SAID EVERYTHING IM THINKING TBH

i wasn’t too certain about it yesterday since we only had those monitor pictures to base ourselves on, but after they dropped the official ones today I’D BE READY TO BET ALL THE MONEY IN MY BANK ACCOUNT THAT WE’RE GONNA HAVE A COMPLEMENTARY AND TRANSITIONAL COLOR SCHEMES IN THE SHOW AND IF THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS IM AFRAID THERE’S NOT ENOUGH THERAPY IN THE WORLD THAT’S GONNA MAKE ME NORMAL AGAIN

just look at the difference between the colors of day’s room in the mock trailer and in the official picture we got today:

in the mock trailer day is surrounded by light since the very beginning: even if the vertical and horizontal lines given by the shutters create a sense of imprisonement, the yellows and oranges ultimately give a feeling of warmth and openness. next to that, the complete tonal shift in the official pic is striking: day’s world is now full of blues and darkness, creating a sense of coldness and isolation. i know a lot of people are already missing the original color palette, but colors tell a story, they can set the tone of a scene, represent the characters’ emotions and show changes in the narrative. it’s also interesting to notice that, while the hue is primary blue now, the yellows and oranges aren’t completely gone, but they’re very desaturated

orange and blue are actually complementary colors: they’re on the opposite sides of the color wheel and this is often used to show internal or external conflict. in this case, orange is the world outside, bright and full of life that, however, is getting muted by the coldness of the blue, of a house that now really both looks and feels like a prison

this isn’t gonna last forever though. both mork and day start the show in a very bad place: albeit in different ways, they both have isolated themselves from the world and no longer have faith in the future. they are, however, very different people coming from different social classes, which is bound to create some initial conflict between them. we already know from the mock trailer that they won’t get along right away and the colors are now showing us that as well, but as they spend more time together, as they get closer, as both their relationship and themselves start to change, the more i believe the colors surrounding them will change as well: the blues and the grays are gonna give way to the oranges and the yellows, and they’re all gonna get brighter, more vibrant

in the end, like you said, day’s sight is gonna be swallowed by darkness, but day himself is gonna be surrounded by light and happiness and warmth  

[asliceofzosan]

zoro doesn't care if people forget his birthday. he really doesn't. but when it's his own boyfriend who doesn't acknowledge his birthday at all... that's a whole different thing entirely. (zosan modern au for zoro's birthday!)

Zoro never understood the hype around birthdays.

It's just another year. 19 didn't feel that different to being 18. 21 didn't feel that different to being 20. He's pretty sure it's going to be the same all the way up to his 80's. He understands the importance of milestones and whatnot but other than that, celebrating his birthday was an afterthought.

It's the big 26 today — one year closer to his thirties — but again, it's just an ordinary day. He woke up, showered for once, and headed straight for the kitchen where his boyfriend was already cooking breakfast and dancing to whatever new K-POP song came out. One of the perks of moving in with Sanji was the early morning entertainment Zoro gets everyday.

Zoro leans against the kitchen island, just watching Sanji hum along to words Zoro can't understand. He loves moments like this. He developed a habit of watching Sanji every time he isn't looking. It's his favorite way to start the day. It gets even better when Sanji notices him, his face lighting up brighter than the sun, and throws his arms around Zoro in their daily good morning embrace.

However, this time, Sanji just looks over his shoulder with a shocked expression.

"Oh, you're already awake!" Sanji exclaims and he steps aside from his work station to reveal he was packing up bento boxes. "I wasn't expecting you to wake up until 10 since you're off work today."

"Thought it would be a good day to wake up early," Zoro says slowly, brows furrowed at each passing second that Sanji doesn't give him his morning hug and kiss. Zoro doesn't think he's clingy, he'd murder you if you said so, but they have a routine. And the routine includes morning hugs and kisses until they're both breathless. Why isn't Sanji bounding over to him and showering his face with kisses and squeezing the daylights out of him? Was he in the twilight zone?

Sanji just keeps on arranging the bento boxes carefully, labelling them with post-it notes and his signature sparkly gel pen that Nami gave him as a joke gift. Zoro stays rooted to the spot, patience waning the longer Sanji doesn't kiss him.

"I was called in today to cover some shifts at the Baratie," Sanji starts to say as he maneuvers his way to the fridge. Zoro scowls when Sanji passes him and doesn't even peck him on the cheek. His voice is a little muffled when he places the bento boxes into the fridge, explaining that he might be out the whole day and won't be back until 10PM earliest.

10PM. Earliest.

"I already pre-made your meals for the day. Breakfast is warming up in the oven right now." Eventually, Sanji does end up giving Zoro a little peck on the cheek, but Zoro felt himself subconsciously chasing after the cook's lips as he moves away. Sanji gives him a warm smile. Zoro thinks he's about to have an aneurysm.

"Sorry, I can't eat breakfast with you today." And to his credit, Sanji looks genuinely apologetic. "The Baratie's gonna be packed. You'll be okay by yourself, right?"

Zoro knew that not making a big deal out of his birthday was his own damn fault but this just seems... off. In every way possible.

Because of all the people in the world, how is it that Sanji has forgotten his birthday?

Sanji, the man who marks every major and minor holiday on his google calendar so he has an excuse to cook a big feast for his friends? Sanji, the man who cried his eyes out when he found out Zoro never had a proper birthday party because he understands the feeling of not being celebrated. Sanji, who loves rom-coms, choose-your-own-adventure interactive novels, and thinks that the way food is arranged on the plate can clearly indicate one's emotions.

Sanji, the biggest sap in history, has forgotten his boyfriend's birthday.

"Zoro?" Sanji's voice slices through the fog of confusion slowly filling up his brain. The hand cradling his face forces him back to reality but all he could do was stare longingly at Sanji, begging him with his eyes to not go. Sanji runs his thumb gently over his cheek and Zoro nuzzles into his hand like a stubborn child. Sanji chuckles.

"I'll be back, you big softie." His reassurance doesn't sit well with Zoro but he only manages to nod. Sanji leans down to kiss Zoro, too chaste and too fast, before pulling away far too quickly. Zoro watches miserably as Sanji puts his jacket on, grabs his keys, and bids him goodbye.

Zoro manages to meet him at the entryway, his hand catching Sanji's arm before he leaves. Sanji tilts his head at him, smiling at him in the way he does when Zoro is being stubborn. "What is it, marimo?"

Zoro stares down Sanji with his good eye, willing and pleading him to remember. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Sanji blinks. Zoro blinks. Then, Sanji smiles and Zoro thinks he actually gets it.

Until Sanji pulls him into a searing kiss. When they pull away, Sanji rubs their noses together and lets go.

"Can't forget the goodbye kiss!" Sanji places one more kiss on Zoro's nose then leaves a very dazed, very irritated Zoro at the entryway.

Have a fruitful birthday today, Zoro. You only turn 26 once!

Time ticks by and Zoro reads and re-reads all the birthday greetings from his friends. Many of them even sent multiple messages in their group chat. It mostly consisted of Luffy and Chopper spamming the chat with birthday gifs. It eased Zoro's racing mind just a little. But he can't help himself from opening up his chat logs with Sanji...

And still nothing.

Just a simple 'hbd marimo' from him would have eased his worries. But Sanji hasn't even messaged him once throughout the entire day. Usually, he'd send a couple of pictures to prove that he's alive. One time, he event sent a selfie while something caught on fire behind him. That's Zoro's wallpaper right now.

It really, really shouldn't be bothering him this much that Sanji hasn't said anything about his birthday. It's also not hard to forget Zoro's birthday. It's literally 11/11. It could not have been a more convenient date.

But Sanji was always the more romantic one of the two of them. Zoro can be accidentally romantic, sure, but Sanji likes grand gestures and showering others with love in every way possible.

Sanji is the last person on earth to forget Zoro's birthday.

He may have never understood the hype around celebrating his birthday. He hasn't had a party since his 18th. But there's something that's mildly irritating that his own boyfriend just straight up treats it like any other day. And not only that, he just leaves Zoro alone too. To celebrate his birthday miserably in their empty apartment with a box of reheated leftovers on his lap.

He doesn't want to admit that he's hurt.

But he is.

However, before he could pick up his phone again to call Sanji and give him a piece of his mind, it starts to ring. He scrambles to answer it without even checking the caller ID. The relief that washes over him when he hears Sanji's voice on the other line was indescribable.

"Cook," and it really shouldn't have come out this desperate. But Zoro is really hanging on by a thread here. "Are you going to tell me something?"

"Yeah! I can't believe I completely forgot!" Sanji's laugh is like a balm to Zoro's anxious conscience but it immediately slips away when Sanji continues.

"I forgot my phone at home."

Zoro almost growls in frustration. "I'm borrowing Patty's right now. Can you do me a favor and look for a recipe that I saved on my notes app? It's super important."

"What could be so much more important than..." Zoro trails off, managing to actually find Sanji's phone on the kitchen counter. Right where he was just this morning. "I fuckin' found it." He taps on the screen, his heart pinching when he sees that Sanji's lockscreen is a candid photo of the two of them taken the exact day they finally got together. Sanji's head was tucked against Zoro's shoulder, his cheeks flushed red, laughing and laughing at something Zoro can't remember anymore. And Zoro... was just looking at Sanji like he was his whole world.

And he still is.

Maybe that's why Sanji forgetting hurts even more.

"What's your passcode?" He grumbles, putting his own phone on speaker.

"I'm surprised you don't know it," Sanji says, footsteps seeming to echo on the other line. "It's pretty hard to forget."

"Contrary to popular opinion, I respect your privacy sometimes Curly."

"How sweet," Sanji says sarcastically. Zoro can practically hear the eyeroll. "But seriously. You know the passcode."

"No I fucking don't?" He exclaims incredulously, glaring at his phone in the hopes Sanji can probably feel it too. "What the fuck are you on about, cook? I don't know your damn passcode!"

"Yes, you do." The fact that Sanji isn't yelling back like he usually does sits uneasily in Zoro's stomach. "Fine, I'll give you a hint since my little marimo needs some help with his homework." Zoro grumbles that he's not a child but Sanji just ignores it. "It's related to the most important person in my life."

Zoro furrows his brows. "Zeff?"

Sanji chuckles. "Try again."

"Um," He scratches his head this time. "Nami?"

"As much as I wish that were true," Sanji sighs dramatically and it was Zoro's turn to roll his eyes. "It's not her. Come on now, mosshead. You know who it is."

The way Sanji's voice softened made something click in Zoro's brain. With a long shaky breath, Zoro took Sanji's phone, stared at the lockscreen one more time, and inputted a significant number.

111197

November 11, 1997

Then Sanji's phone unlocked.

"Did you get it?"

Zoro couldn't concentrate on Sanji's voice. Because staring right at him was the picture Sanji used as his homescreen.

A beautifully edited candid picture of Zoro, his face glowing against a gorgeous sunset, the light shining through his hair in an otherworldly haze. There was text edited above his chest and it read, clear as day:

Happy Birthday, my everything

"Can you open the door for me, love?"

As if on autopilot, Zoro walked to the door, Sanji's phone still in his hand, and he opened it to see his boyfriend standing right there. His face was illuminated by the glow of a single candle sitting on top of a simple vanilla cupcake. Surrounding that cupcake was a plate full of carefully arranged sushi, onigiri, grilled meats, and dipping sauces.

And written with an elegant hand at the edge of the plate, with something Zoro can somehow identify as a thickened oyster sauce was the same thing he read on Sanji's home screen wallpaper:

Happy Birthday, my everything

"Did you really think that I would forget?" Sanji says, the love in his eyes shining through the light of the candle. "You guessed the passcode, didn't you?"

"You piece of shit." Zoro's voice cracked only slightly (only slightly!) "I'm gonna fucking murder you, I swear to god."

"You don't believe in god," Sanji says matter of factly, reaching up to cup Zoro's face with one hand. Zoro scoffs but there's no lick of malice to it. Sanji then presents the cupcake to him and with another roll of his eye, Zoro blows the candle out, much to Sanji's amusement.

He knows he's supposed to be making a wish or whatever but he doesn't. Everything he's ever wished for is right here, standing in their doorway, with a plate of food made by his own hands. Hands that he kisses every night. Hands that cradle his face like Zoro is something to be treasured.

Hands that hold his, no matter what life throws at them.

Stepping into the apartment, Sanji places the plate of food on the table at the entryway, then drapes his arms over Zoro's shoulders. Zoro's hands find Sanji's waist immediately.

And finally, Sanji says the words Zoro's been waiting to hear all day.

"Happy Birthday, Zoro."

Then, Sanji kisses him, his lips soft and his hands warm as they tangle into Zoro's hair. Zoro deepens the kiss, thinking that maybe celebrating his birthday isn't so bad after all.

Crimson Rivers thoughts pt. 28

chapter 47:

1. 😟😶 no one even got to say goodbye. i- WHAT THE HELL??? FUCKING RIDDLE

2. i’m at least happy that remus, james, and pandora can all take care of each other during the games.

3. im actually highly worried about regulus being a death eater. too worried, actually

4. “Regulus realizes it as he sits there, never moving or doing anything at all, just breathing; he isn't scared this time. Not even a bit.”

reg not being scared makes ME scared

5. “He had planned to kiss Remus' mask one last time, and kiss Remus, too.”

of COURSE it’s ALWAYS wolfstar that tips the tears over. why does THAT make me sob???

6. oh shit. it’s a maze

7. “”Come now, surely you wouldn't harm me and little Draco, would you?"

"I'm going to give you one chance to run," Sirius tells her, holding still, "and take little Draco with you."”

LMAOO they both know she’s lying out her ass

8. “It's Mavis and Velvet; they'd done exactly as they promised they would. They found weapons, found each other, and they died together. Their bodies are splayed out on the ground right beside one another, curled close in death like the lovers they were in life.”

oh shit oh shit oh shit i’m starting to cry again. i feel so bad for them, but don’t blame them in the slightest. it’s what i would have done

9. “and there's just this quiet, momentary mourning and respect for two people who loved each other and decided, together, that they would not participate in a game as cruel and sadistic as this one. They went out together, in complete control of their own fate, and they never deserved anything other than a long life full of love.”

crying HARDER. this would be the turning point in the games for me. i shit you not, i’d start teaming up and trying to break out the fucking arena

10. “And then, unprompted, Regulus' voice rings out, nearly snarling. He's addressing the sky, the audience, the Hallows in a low hiss of derision when he declares, "When you take them, you take them together, and know that it's your fault."”

i know i’m quoting this whole little section, but it’s IMPORTANT and it HURTS and everyone in that arena is being human right now instead of trying to survive. they’re all united on the front that they’re human and understand what it meant to love

11. i’m not surprised that the “first” kill of the arena was made by sirius. especially since it was to save regulus

12. WAIT YALL ARE GONNA LAUGH AT ME FOR THIS!!! sirius killed twelve people in the arena the first time. just like how he was blamed for twelve deaths in canon. i. it took me too long to make that connection yall

13. oh CHRIST i forgot that they planned to kill marlene’s parents in front of her right before she went in the arena. i’m so sorry. i want to comfort her

14. “Someday, Riddle is going to fuck with the wrong person, and they're going to slaughter him, and on that day, the whole world is going to shine just a little brighter” 👀 side eye

15. sirius has too much trust in regulus and i understand why and i see that, but BABES you’re so wrong

16. “In fact, they're all eyeing him like they're considering just killing him now so they won't have to deal with the headache he is sure to be. He's so ridiculously fond of each of them, truly.” 😶😑😶 blink blink. my dear. you need therapy

17. i- eli got in the arena and took a GODDAMN NAP- no fucking way. that’s wild y’all

18. regulus hating the rain is so me. and i’m not even exaggerating. reg hates the rain and refuses to go in it. if i get wet from the rain, the second i get indoors, i start having severe panic attacks over getting wet. i don’t blame him in the slightest.

19. y’all. people have really got to stop challenging regulus. he says that he’s gonna kill a person or stab them with a fork or brutally maim them if they kill/insult james or sirius. and every damn time, people still test him. and every time, he goes through with it. why do people not believe him?? he SAID he won’t hesitate

20. the authors notes are literally me on the previous point (19):

“regulus: i am telling you explicitly what i will physically do to you if you do This Thing

everyone else: *does it anyway and is immediately shocked when he follows through*

like??? DOES HE LOOK LIKE THE TYPE OF MAN WHO JOKES??? WHY DOES NO ONE TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY??”

😭😭😭 me fr

remember to respect zar’s wishes and fanfic laws! do not buy fics! do not repost crimson rivers on other sites. please and thank you.

Dear Y/N

I never thought I'd find love in this godforsaken hellhole, but then I discovered you. You're the only light in the dark tunnel of my pathetic existence. You're an amazing person, and I don't know how I lived so long before I met you. I know this might sound like bullshit, but seeing you at the end of each day is what keeps my life in this place from going on total autopilot. You mean the whole world to me, and I'd take every bullet in this hellhole without a second thought if it meant that you'd live a better life than me. I know I'm a terrible piece of trash, but you're different. You make me feel like a better person. Even my own sins seem to go away everytime I see your face. I would trade almost everything in this world if it meant that I could wake up next to you every single morning. Seeing your smile gives me more satisfaction than all the alcohol in this universe.

I just don't understand why someone as perfect as you even wanted to be around a degenerate like me. You're so good to me. You're kind, gentle, smart, and beautiful. I could spend the rest of my days with you, and it would never get old. You're the only good thing that's happened to me on this godforsaken hellhole of a planet. I would take being with you over any amount of money, booze, or fame. My time with you is more valuable than any amount of sins I could commit or money I could spend. I know my life's gonna end at some point, but no matter when it'll be, I just want to spend my last moments with you. Every single night, I dream about spending the rest of my life with you. I dream about waking up next to your beautiful face, going out to dinner, going to bed, starting a family, and eventually growing old together. If I didn't have you, my life would be nothing but a torturous, hollow, endless void.

I've never been a believer in fate, but you're the closest thing I've ever gotten to it. Being with you makes me feel like everything that led up to this point was worth it. Every moment of misery, pain, heartache, and regret that I've felt in my life was worth it just to get a chance to spend the rest of my forever with you. My life before you was a never-ending pool of regret and agony. Now, everything seems to be so much... brighter. The only thing that I want to care about is you. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm being too forward, but the thought of losing you is terrifying. I need you like a man stuck in the desert needs water.

All I want is to make you happy. Seeing you sad hurts me 100 times worse than any injury. I would do anything, anything for you, no matter how painful for me, if it meant you'd keep blissfully smiling at me for the rest of our lives. You're the very reason I keep waking up in the morning. I know this might sound insane, but you're my everything. All these terrible, terrible thoughts, memories, and sins all seem to slip away whenever I'm with you. Seeing your smile makes the demons in my head shut up for just a small moment. You're the perfect balance, the perfect companion. You're kind, smart, funny, and beautiful. I know people tell each other they're 'perfect' all the time, but for you, it's the only description that can do you any justice.

I can never stop thinking about you. My nights are filled with dreams of you, whether they be beautiful or horrifying. Just the thought of you leaves me constantly yearning for more of you. I can't describe with words the amount of pain I feel whenever you're not around. I always need you to be by my side. I always need to be near you. I always need to feel your presence, your touch, your warmth. Every single moment I spend not with you feels like an hour of torment. My mind is just consumed with thoughts of you. I always wonder what you're doing and who you're with. It drives me absolutely crazy. All I want is to keep you in my sights, away from the hands of any other people. Whenever I hear another person talking to you, a part of inside me dies. I don't think anyone else deserves you.

You're all I obsess over all day. I can't stop thinking about how I want to protect you and keep you away from other people. I constantly wonder what you're doing with other people and how you're doing. Are they making you laugh? Giving you gifts? Or maybe just talking to you and complimenting you? Just the thought of that kind of thing makes me burn with jealousy. Everything I do, I do because it might give me a chance to see your radiant smile, or to talk to you. Even this letter, I'm writing to try and get a hold of your heart. I hope that you'll read this and see my feelings, the feelings of an undying, unending love that will never fade away, no matter how many centuries pass by. I hope that this letter makes you feel the same about me, because I don't know what I'd do if you left me.

Forever yours, Husk

[sciderman]

Now that we are remembering mercenary Spiderman in the alternate timeline, I do have some questions.

1) Even Wade knew that their relationship would be SOOOO TOXIC AND DOOMED TO FAIL, my horny ass need to ask this. Would the sex would be worse with the morally dark Peter?, cause I think he would be a super selfish lover (I don't do this question in the askblog, cause I might add more emotional turmoil into poor Wade.)

2) is that Peter gonna be ok in his lonely timeline?, or is something that we better not to worry about.

3) this is not a question, but I think it is fun to add. I do remember when after Peter died in Civil War, Wade shows two intersecting factors about him. (Although I might be wrong in some

A) Although Peter is always angry and bitter, Wade is scarier, when he is actually angry.

B) While Peter is a creator and protector (cause he's is a genius scientist super hero), it seems Wade is a man that gets things done, he is actually really good at fixing stuff (not for the greater good and more for his own and loved ones gains). Yeah he kinda messed up the time stream, but no one's seems brothered about it., both of them bring the best of each other even though it is not perfect is cute and healthy.

C) Wade has healed a lot, he recognized unhealthy behaviours from himself and others ( one reason he denied edgy hot Peter), and choose the healthiest option

D) Wade is so hot

I really loved what you gift us with these two boys

hooh man, hooh man. okay. 1) good question! there is many a fic for that. i didn't write anything, but xenospider on AO3 put the time in. 9319 shades of grey - tl;dr - you're right. alt!peter is selfish in bed. selfish in life. selfish in just about everything. the opposite of the peter we know and love. that's not to say the sex is worse - this peter is more experienced - but all of the freak that lives in nasty, dirty, twisted peter also lives within our timid wallflower too. one just has to unlock it. similarly, nasty, dirty, twisted peter also has the same generous, romantic heart that beats under that heartless facade. one just has to unlock it. so after a warming-up period, you'll find that they're both equally good lovers. they're both peter parker, after all.

2) this timeline doesn't exist no mo! rest assured - in this universe, it's not the whole - two universes existing concurrently, no sir. this peter is our peter. they aren't two separate peters who can meet in the multiverse, no sir. the only way wade can visit that peter again is if he alters history again. this peter is fortunately not lonely. he's head-over-heels! in love with his boyfriend who has thighs like a tree, and he has a job at the bugle, and has never made a kill, (as far as we know).

3) to your point B – deadpool's kind of the embodiment of second chances, to me. he's just – that's his real mutant ability. always, somehow, managing to get a second chance. even if he thinks he doesn't deserve it - he always makes it happen. that's his origin - and he just keeps finding a way, over and over. to your point C - really, i don't know if any option is ever healthy for one wade wilson but - his decision to decline edgy hot peter was less about what's good for him and more about what's good for the world. the world is uglier without a hero like spider-man to make it brighter. he could stay with this peter and make a lot of freaky sex and win over his heart all over again - he did it once, he can do it twice - but - he didn't pick the selfish option. he didn't indulge - because he knows the world is better with heroes in it. he knows it isn't right.

for once, this was a decision wade didn't make for him. he made it for the world. he did it so the world would be a better place. he's a selfless hero. kisses him.

and to point d, you're so right. kissing him again.

thank you!!

[moonlight-xxs-stuff]

🌸꒱꒱・SasoSaku God AU:

Thinking about sasosaku god au where sasori is kind of like the Moirai (the fates) in Greek and Roman mythology with Sakura being his thread of fate.

It's kinda complicated but hear me out. Instead of spinning the thread of life from a distaff, everytime her pink hair started fading into gold, that was the beginning of another life. (idk how to explain it tbh)

When they're in their temple, she sits on his lap while he decides the fate of people. She scolds him everytime he causes someone misfortune, but if she thinks a few words are gonna convince him not to laugh at a man losing his job for the nth time then she has to think twice.

Plus, if she wants to go outside and have fun then she's going to have to stay still and be quiet. But it's hard when she's carrying almost 100k lives on her head. So she might as well talk his ears off.

When with the other gods, he holds her close and eyes everyone with disdain. He prays a crow will poke itachi's eyes out everytime the latter greets his Sakura with that stupid smile on his face.

His most painful part of the day is having to sit with her through a tea party with her friends. He hated them and, fortunately, they hated him too. At least he doesn't have to pretend he likes their presence for the sake of saving face. But the way Lee and Naruto keep talking shit about him not letting Sakura go outside much is pissing him off. He's not holding her captive, that's their job!

Their biggest argument was when his hands accidentally slipped and he ended a newborn's life. That night he had to fight a pack of wolves in order to be able to sleep outside since Sakura said she'd rather cook her eyes and eat them than look at him in the face.

If you ask them about each other, she'd say he's a sadistic, heartless man and he'd say she's a short-tempered, childish girl. But if you catch them on a good night perhaps you'll have a chance to witness the way Sakura's gold hair shine brighter when she tells you how pretty he is when he's peaceful, how his greyish brown eyes would look dreamy whenever he's deep in thought, how hard it is to make him laugh but the moment you hear his soft chuckle, see the way his lips curl into an innocent, childlike smile, you'll know it's worth it. Or maybe you'll get to hear sasori's once flat and monotonous voice turn soft as he tells you how even though he knows she can break a mountain in half with a little to no effort or how she can find an antidote to any of his poisons, he still sees her as his little delicate cherry blossom, that he used to protect her because they both were essential to each other's roles but now, he'd burn the world down if someone made her feel like crying.

At the end of the day, no matter what happened between them, if sasori puts his pride aside and gets on both kness pleading for her to forgive him, or if sakura doesn't get in bed and looks at him with watery eyes as if asking for forgiveness, then everything will be settled once again. With a kiss, or maybe more, they're back together. Because in reality, they both love each other too much to stay apart. And that was their fate, to be together forever, no matter what happens.

since we're probably finally gonna be seeing spiderbit back together in a couple days, here's my personal take on their reunion :> just to be safe: tw for talk/implications of suicidal thoughts (under the cut)

They stay there for God only knows how long, holding on as tight as they can, in fear of what could happen if they let go.

(It could all change in the blink of an eye. Heaven forbid.)

They’d started their embrace standing, but it was short-lived, the weight of everything crashing down on them as their legs gave out, water building behind their eyes.

For now, it’s finally over. For now, it’s finally just them. And that’s enough.

It’s Roier who finally moves first, lifting his head from Cellbit’s shoulder but not pulling back far enough to leave his husband’s arms. No, he’s not ready for that yet.

He holds Cellbit’s face in his hands, brows furrowed as he stares him down. “What the fuck happened?”

“I didn’t—” the investigator pauses, seeming to rethink his words— “I chose to stay there.”

(He can never lie to the spider-hybrid, in any capacity.)

Roier’s brows furrow even more, if possible. “¿Qué—? Hijo de puta, what were you thinking?”

Cellbit glances away from him, eyes flickering down. He looks… guilty. Conflicted. “I… I saw Richas die in front of me. At least, I thought I did. And honestly?” He swallowed. “I wanted it to be over after that. I didn’t care anymore. As long as you made it. And you did. That was the only thing that mattered to me.”

Roier purses his lips, chest heavy. He understands, in a morbid truth - he really does. He thinks of how he felt immediately after Bobby died and the days that followed. The hours spent in the damn pool, hoping, praying for a way out. Falling from the heights of his castle without a care. The pain that still plagues him.

(He understands better than anyone else.)

But it was Cellbit who started to make him feel alive again. Cellbit who made his world even just a little brighter, even with the storm clouds of his own past.

And he’ll be damned if he loses him, too.

(They’re together. For better or for worse.)

There’s a question on the tip of his tongue. Why didn’t you tell me you wanted to stay?

(He feels like, deep down, he already knows at least a small semblance of the investigator’s answer. And it makes him upset. For Cellbit.)

(Why does this happen to any of them?)

But Roier doesn’t even have to ask. He knows Cellbit knows, somehow, by the way his husband studies his expression.

(They’ve become eerily good at reading each other. That’s just how they work now. But he wouldn’t have it any other way.)

The thoughts come pouring out of Cellbit before he can really stop them; the same ones he’d relayed to Baghera. “I knew you would've stayed if I told you. And I didn't want you to do that. I didn’t want to take the chance of you around me when I was… like that. And this isn’t much better. I’m still—” he recoils, retracting his arms from Roier, who nearly grabs for his hands at the loss of contact. “You deserve better than this, guapito; you deserve to be free, not stuck there on that fucking island, stuck with me— you’d be happier without me.”

“¿Qué?”

(Roier feels like someone just submerged him under icy water.)

“I thought you’d be happier without me. I didn’t think you could be happy around me like this. I still don’t— I—”

Cellbit is interrupted by a sudden hand against the back of his neck, pulling him forward as lips crash against his, and he’s nearly overwhelmed by all the emotions behind it, intertwining with his own.

But he kisses back immediately, melting right into it; of course he does. He knows he can talk all he wants about not wanting Roier to be around, but what he wants and what he needs are two separate things.

They're breathless when they pull apart, and Roier's hands settle on Cellbit's shoulders. “You’re an idiot, Cellbo, you know that? So brilliant, yet so stupid sometimes."

He breathes in, out, catching his breath and trying to gather the right words. “I spent so long looking for you. Hours and hours, every single day, trying to find some sign of you. Anything.

Why? Because I was fucking miserable, man! I felt like shit without you! I missed you, I missed you so much.” His voice falters slightly.

“But—”

“Pinche pendejo—” Roier hisses under his breath— “I don’t care what you think I deserve. I want you. Always. We stick together, no? Not because we're stuck and we have to, but because we want to, no?"

Cellbit nods slowly after a moment, remaining quiet. "Exactamente." The spider-hybrid reaches up, cradling his husband's face in his hands and catching a stray tear with the pad of his thumb. "I will always help you, no exceptions. Remember? Always here, for anything you may need."

The investigator falls into his arms, muttering tearful apologies, and they're right back to clutching each other tightly, securely.

(They're both crying, now. The tears stream freely, knowing they can be. Together.)

(It's not okay right now, but maybe in time, it will be.)

"Desculpa—" Cellbit chokes out— "te amo..."

They hold on tighter still. Roier's voice is muffled slightly, but Cellbit can make out the words as clear as day as the piece he's been desperately missing for weeks slides back into place.

"You and I against the world, gatinho."

And so it'll be.

[togoldlilya]

Get out of here you heathen!

light began to filter through the trees, the rising sun growing brighter and brighter each passing moment. the world was mostly still asleep, except for those few early birds including this lovely little bakery.

"kiki honey, could you check on the sourdough loaves, they should be done now" sayaka calls out across their small establishment.

"in a minute natto, im trying to get these croissants rolled perfectly!" toge yells back, tongue sticking out in concentration as he meticulously rolls up the dough.

"i don't know why you're always so determined to make the perfect croissant, people enjoy the homemade look you know" sayaka can't help but sigh fondly and roll her eyes at the other.

"you'll never understand my pursuit of perfection, just admit it already, you're content being an amateur!" he boasts, tone light with amusement.

"yeah yeah whatever you say you croissant visionary" sayaka crosses the kitchen to take out the sourdough herself, not wanting it to burn. in a blur of baking and bickering, they are soon ready to open up shop. after a small argument over who gets to flip the sign, which toge won much to sayaka's chagrin, they are open for business!

"goooooood morning wonderful people! ive come to get my usual spicy noodle doughnut!" bursting though the door, same time as always, is one of their usual customers.

"we don't have those you numbskull, stop asking for them!" sayaka automatically shoots him down, used to his incessant insistence for one.

"why are your combos always so gross yuuji?" toge's disgusted face says it all as he joins them from the kitchen.

"well you guys are just lame that you never have them" he pouts, crossing his arms dramatically.

"get the man his fruit tart and sandwich would you kiki" sayaka, unrelenting in the face of his doe eyes, continues to stock the display case. in no time yuuji is settled at a table with his food, watching the couple bustle around setting up last minute things for the day. "so yuu, what are you doing after work today?" sayaka askes joining him at the table with a cup of steaming coffee.

"im going to visit megs down at florist to grab a late lunch but after that i'm wide open!" yuuji explains, a happy glint in his eyes.

"well would you like to catch a moive with me? i heard they're showing a sequel of that one movie we watched last week" she offers, a mischievous look in her eyes.

"you mean that one star shit movie we randomly found? there's a sequel?? im totally in, i need to see how this is gonna end" he immediately agrees, nodding sagely as he does.

"sweet! i'll pick you up at 6:30 then, be ready!" standing up she points at him knowingly before retreating back behind the counter as another customer walks in.

"you got it boss, see you then!" yuuji sends her a salute, which she rolls her eyes at, before he's slipping out the door to go to his own job.

the movie was terrible by the way, just the way they like it. and they might have made fun of it the whole way home.

[bewareofthenewphannie]

what are some phancoded songs

Hey dearest nonny, I'm usually very bad at listening to lyrics but! I'll try my best to give you a few :P

The first one that always comes to my mind is "Friends" by Ed Sheeran.

It's maybe a tad dramatic but especially if we look at earlier phan it does fit the bill very well in my opinion.

We're not No we're not friends Nor have we ever been We just try to keep those secrets in a lie And if they find out, will it all go wrong?

[...]

So I could take the back road But your eyes will lead me straight back home

honestly, just listen to the song, it's very nice :3

The second one I want to mention, mainly because today I woke up to @serendipnpipity (rightfully) screaming about how much this is them, is "penguin" by Christina Perri.

(also on that note, check out ser's dnp playlist)

Love like this may come once Baby it's fate Like a soul mate, he's your penguin Baby it's fate Baby it's fate Not luck

"Home" by Phillip Phillips (double Phil!). You could add any of the many songs out there that talk about a person feeling like home/making something feel like home here, because that's what it's all about for them, isn't it?

Hold on, to me as we go As we roll down this unfamiliar road And although this wave is stringing us along Just know you're not alone 'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home

(slightly derailed continuation under the cut, I am sorry)

This next song, "All I've ever known" by Anaïs Mitchell is simply a very pretty love song that just so happens to be part of a really good musical (yes, this is just me trying to somehow make this song about dnp). You see, this is Orpheus and Eurydice here so it's all about tragic unconditional love, even in a world that feels cruel and unloving. It's about love that makes the world feel brighter, love that you never want to lose.

Orpheus was a poor boy,​ But he had a gift to give.​ He could make you see how the world could be: In spite of the way that it is And Eurydice was a young girl,​ But she'd seen how the world was.​ When she fell, she fell in spite of herself,​ In love with Orpheus.​

[...]

You take me in your arms And suddenly there’s sunlight all around me Everything bright and warm And shining like it never did before And for a moment I forget Just how dark and cold it gets

[...]

Say that you’ll hold me forever Say that the wind won’t change on us Say that we’ll stay with each other And it’ll always be like this

To make things more interesting I'll add a german song to this list based on the fact that

a) it was released in 2009

b) you can mishear the lyrics in the chorus as "the hamster is wilding outside of my window"

c) the lyrics are incredibly cheesy but also they kind of fit if you really want them to ("you're my compass when i lose myself" "you're the bandaid for my soul")

I present to you, "Pflaster" by Ich + Ich, a song that was mercilessly overplayed on the radio when I was 6 years old and probably deeply shaped my personality.

I should stop this before this gets even worse, shouldn't I?

Next, "Accidentally In Love" by Counting Crows because Shrek 2 superiority and also, they're in love (although you could argue there was nothing accidental about that).

Hmm, then "Uma Thurman" by Fall Out Boy because it's fob and well yk...

anyway, idek what that song is actually about because audio processing is not happening in this brain but i can't listen to it without thinking about them sooo

Also this! "Space Dementia" by Muse.

This reminds me of them because they talked about it on a stereo show and Dan learned to play it on the piano.

Okayyy, I'll stop this here, I hope at least the first few songs were what you were asking for!

[asknarashikari]

Here the official lyrics if you dont know about it

Yeah-e-e-e-eh

Yeah-e-e-e-eh

The homework is to become a better challenger

Rather than just arriving at the answer

The curse of inability is nothing in reality

It can be repelled if you believe

Find a bigger dream, and let it be your new discovery

Even though he looks like a successful kinda guy,

if you flip it 'who is that?' face in the mirror

You should have good eyes, with individuality

Together we are gonna see achievement

You ready?

Gather up, feel the CHEMY×STORY

Straight into the future, it leads us

Gotcha, Gotcha, open the door

We'll make it through together, let's go!

The power of miracle, mystery.

Diversity creates CHEMY×STORY

Gotcha, Gotcha, just stack them all up

Hope is growing, glowing stronger!

Over thinking into nothing just to compete

What they're missing is what we call friendship

Deceptive sympathy, passion is the key

If we can be there for each other

Bursting at the seams, a world full of love that you will ever know

It's a crazy maze with your back against the wall

Initiation, use your imagination

Inspiration is the change-maker

Your art is the space taker

You ready?

Empathy is the CHEMY×STORY

If you show it, we can get stronger

Gotcha, Gotcha, you're not alone

Sharing everything as we know

The power of harmony, mystery

Passing through into the galaxy

Gotcha, Gotcha, releasing the limit

Hope is growing, glowing brighter

This is not on the textbook

Wherever we go, wherever we look

The answer surely is inside of you

Look within yourself, to find the truth

Wow...

You ready?

Gather up, feel the CHEMY×STORY

Straight into the future, it leads us

Gotcha, Gotcha, open the door

We'll make it through together, let's go!

The power of miracle, mystery.

Diversity creates CHEMY×STORY

Gotcha, Gotcha, just stack them all up

Hope is growing, glowing stronger!

Yeah-e-e-e-eh

Gotcha & Go

Yeah-e-e-e-eh

You & me together, CHEMY×STORY!

Lmao funny you send this because I just got this in the mail today

Yeah I bought it :)) I haven't had the time to listen to it yet, but I'll transfer the songs over to the computer on the weekend

It came with these... the photo doesn't quite capture how shiny they really are tbh

(Sorry for my weirdass bedspread lmao)

[amyrafierceblade]

"Windrippers have evolved into two groups; Forest Windrippers and Cave Windrippers. The main difference between these two aren't so much genetics or inbreeding, because the two subtypes are not a separate species from each other, as much as build, flight type and dietary needs.

Forest Windrippers have evolved into being more stocky, stout dragons with wings better suited for distance flying and hovering, they have shorter snouts, smaller but broader ears, pupils that are more likely to be round instead of slitted, and a wider sclera/smaller iris to accompany their tendency to be in brighter areas, as well as the fact that they are more likely to live off of fresh game, common berries like blueberries and blackberries.

Cave Windrippers, however, are lean and lythe, disheveled and even boney/starving looks being common on a healthy specimen. Their heads are very narrow, able to fit into smaller spots for smaller prey, as well as defined cheekbones, double collarbones(present in both Forest and Cave, its just the first and second set of collarbones are more visible), and hind legs much longer than their front legs + wings are more built for acting as a second set of arms/stabilising/balance for when they stand bipedal instead of quadpedal. They also have longer tails, thinner wings built for gliding and darting, and they survive off of scavanged meat like bats, cave lizards, or, if they're lucky, a Maxillian Hell Beast(who's flesh is toxic and they've learned how to cook it enough with their flames to lessen/negate the toxin) as well as some cave berries(also semi-toxic, you have to stomach through those for years before being able to actually eat them comfortably) and, occasionally, halite rocks which are more used as a snack or supplement than anything else. Their pupils are larger, able to slit further and smaller while expanding wider with less sclera, more iris, and they have phenomenal night vision from living in low level light conditions on the regular.

The earliest known diversification of these two types is around ~18000 or so years ago (examples being: Phantom[Cave, and Gnash[Forest]) as the species started moving from the caves out into the world, however a regression occurred for the Windrippers who stayed(were forced) in the caves, and instead their evolution directed them for cave life instead of forest life.

Both types are wary of water, as it can soak into the stretchier part of their wing webbing(located between the furthest and middle "fingers" of the wings[not to be confused with the thumbs]) and cause extreme pressure + added weight and drag a Windripper to a drowning death in a large enough body of water."

I remade my species base, they kinda changed a lil since the last remake. I've given up on drawing sexual dimorphisim, whoever uses this base gets to hassle with that bit.

Semi-Open species, just ask my permission before making a character. I'll have you read the entire species information beforehand, but otherwise they're free to make, bases free to use, and fully editable per needs/requirements of the design. Don't sell/trade without letting me know though(not permission, just more of a heads up sort of thing), and I do get the option to buy back any character I sell that the purchaser decides they want gone(only if the person is selling the character though, I'm not gonna haunt your dms or emails going "i wanna buy that character back from you" if you still want the character)

At this point, I'm rambling, but uh, yeah, have a look.

[sioster]

okay, we're gonna go a bit deeper now lol because for me, one of the most interesting points about spiderman's character has always been how they manage their hero life and their private life and how it affects them and the people around them.

first of all, wilbur still doesn't have an excuse for why he just disappeared for a month. in the end, he settles on a sort of half-truth, telling his family and his band that he was struggling to find his place in this world and that he didn't know how to reach out and talk about it with anyone.

in the months dream and wilbur are without each other, everyone notices the change. they're still them, wilbur bright and full of ideas, dream spontaneous and fun. but sometimes, when they think no one is watching, their smiles slip. a sad look flickers in their eyes. a somber expression settles on their faces.

no one knows what to do, especially because neither of them seems to want to share what's going on.

and then, all of a sudden, things change again.

somehow, wilbur's smile is even brighter than it was before his disappearance. somehow, dream's eyes twinkle again, the way they did almost two years ago when he was deep into "personal research".

not a single person around them can explain it.

and all the while, dream and wil are torn. because they know that their friends and family know that something's happening.

they want to tell them. every time wilbur just barely makes it to the beginning of a concert after another fight. every time dream is late for a meet-up with his friends because he was on a date with wil.

but the truth would put them in danger. sometimes, just tommy knowing already feels like too much.

because with great power comes great responsibility. and the two of them are responsible for the safety and well-being of their friends and family.

so they stay silent.

and your other points... wonderful commentary.

the last one struck something in me though. because yeah, it's torture for dream. not of the physical kind. but the emotional one.

seeing the person he loves getting hurt. seeing wil getting kicked and punched and stabbed and burned, again and again and again.

maybe, the villain doesn't know how to contact dream directly, so they just... broadcast wilbur's pain out to the world. and dream has to see wil's bloodied face, has to hear his gut-wrenching screams and sobs everywhere. at work. in karl's coffee shop. in his own home.

and he doesn't know how to stop it, because there are no demands, no threats.

the villain just likes knowing that both of them are suffering.

Aa h,, secrets, secrets, secrets...

I must say I'm interested in how the villain found out about the whole debacle. Not even the 'Spiderman multiplied I guees' bit, but the attachment.. I see 2 options: either the villain tried their luck at the possible connection or they go around kissing on roofs.

Wait, do they even keep it a secret that there's 2 of them? Or do they try keeping it low (maybe with the exception of Dream's dimension goblin)

Also!! Woah!! Streamer au!! But instead of streaming games it's Wil's agony that's being streamed. It all comes back again. Its actually a very cruel thing too though. Not only Dream is subjected to it, but the innocent and unknowing civilians too.

Edit: forgot to add, but I'm sure it's awfully hard for Dream to keep his identity and ties a secret when he sees the torture everywhere, especially in public

✨Taylor Swift Makes Everything Better Lyric Prompts✨

It's exactly what the title says. I find song lyrics in general very inspiring and have a notebook of ones that strike me for one reason or another but don't have the 'whatever' that's needed to write them. And I unapologetically stan the hell out of Ms. Swift and am so often struck by her word choices. So this is my collection of the TS lyrics that conjure up the most thoughts - minus a ton of sad ones because I am just too soft to be putting that much angst into the world 😊

Your on a year abroad?! That’s so cool which country is it in? I’m glad ur having a good time - i have a year abroad next yr I am TERRIFIED 😭😭 any tips???

You signed up for this, but I'm still sorry it came out this long, so... sorry:)

I'm actually doing Erasmus if you know what that is. If you don't, the quick explanation is "your home country and university pay you to study abroad for a period of time that goes from 5 months to 11".

I'm almost halfway through my stay in Valencia, Spain, and I've had my highs and lows. I'm very attached to my family and I have a very very V E R Y large and close group of friends that I used to spend my entire days with, so at the beginning of the stay all I wanted to do was go back to Italy. I went home for a couple of days at the end of October and it nearly destroyed me coming back here (I literally just got to my apartment after spending three weeks at home and I'm numb but in a good way), to the point where I was considering giving up on the scholarship and cut the lease. My friends were supportive as fuck in that decision and my family has no idea I was doing that bad, but then I booked a trip to Morocco for December and from there it was honestly like a smooth ride. My days started to look brighter (let me romanticize my life) and I had way more motivation that I could have hoped for in that period.

I'm so mentally unstable that many of my friends doubted I could make it out alive, but I'm handling myself and reminding myself every day I'm just a 20yo living on her own for the first time, 1500km from her home and family. Which might not be that weird for some, might look like the end of the world for others. I'm in between that.

I recognize the chance I was given and the fact that this opportunity is not something I should take for granted, hence why I decided to stay in the end. This isn't forever. It's just a couple of months where I can push my limits and see where I stand in the world and what I wanna do with my life.

I'm not gonna lie and say everything is perfect cause I fucking hate my roommates and the way uni things are handled and having to buy water and walk from the groceries to my house with a 30km pack in my arms every time. But it's worth it. It's so worth it.

The people you meet. The places you get to see. Nobody stops you. You're your own person. You get to really find out what free will is (and let me tell you I did some weird as fuck things since I have no one controlling what I do), (like eating mandarins and only mandarins for three days straight—do not reccomend), (eat consistently).

Tips I'd give out are:

1. Check free card or student discounts for transportation. I literally paid zero (0) euros since I got here for the metro, bus, tram cause Valencia is perfect and people under 30 don't pay shit.

2. Every event your school or university offers, go. It's the fastest and best way to meet new people without having to worry of strangers on the internet.

3. This is controversial and really personal, so I'll give you the tip everybody gets and then my personal experience. A) Make friends fast as soon as you get there cause otherwise groups will be formed and you'll be alone forever. B) Don't worry too much about that cause you're constantly meeting new people every single day. Some you will find lame, some you will want to strangle and some will become your lifelong friends.

4. Let yourself feel and don't neglect your body. It's easy to forget you're not on a very long holiday and sometimes I lose sight of that as well. You're tired? Sleep. Don't feel guilty for not going out with your friends for the fifth night on a row. You're angry cause your roommate didn't throw out the trash on his day? Send him that fucking text cursing him through the seven realms of hell (idek if they're seven). You miss you bed and your pillow? Cry.

Remember it's okay if you feel sad AND happy at the same time. Those two emotions being contraries to each other doesn't mean they can't coexist. I'm constantly feeling grateful for being here and homesick cause I wish I was in my parents bed gossiping with them. I'm always anxious I'm missing out on everything going on back home while signing my lungs out at a club with my friends. I've had two long months where I was guilty 24/7 cause I wouldn't let myself feel any of those emotions and end up depressed.

Just, feel.

5. If you'll live on your own, grocery shop smartly. Don't over buy. The food will still be there in the shop the next time you go. But it WILL get moldy and spoiled if you buy it and then don't have enough time to eat it.

6. If your program offers weekends trips (even daily trips) go on them cause it's the best choice ever. I took one on the third day I was here and I meet the one person that later became my very bestest friend ever. They might be pricey but it's worth it.

7. Be ready to be disappointed by many things. Not everything will go as planned and not everything will be as you imagined it. And that's okay. Brace yourself for failure and accept things as they come. If you have no control over it, it's useless to stress about it.

8. Idk which country you're going to, but make the most of it and travel around. Find some friends with the same will go explore and take trains, busses and cars to wherever. Even the city you live in might have some secret gems, you just need to look for them.

I'm literally sleepwalking at this point, so I think this is enough, but don't hesitate to send other asks or dm me directly if you ever need something❤❤

I'm just doing this on my alternate account I never use just to say something without having it on my main account bc I don't want them to see it

I am so deeply in love platonically with a friend of mine. Like, I DID have a crush on them at one point, but they're aro ace, so, ya know, whatcha gonna do? But, like, after I got over the crush, I just fell head over heels for them as a friend. I love the way they do a little dance and bob their head when they're excited to talk about something. I love their giggle laugh, I love their cackle laugh and the way they widen their eyes in a manic expression when they're causing mischief. I love their drawings of bugs and mushrooms and indescribable horrors that would make a Victorian child cry in fear. I love their smile and their sounds of disappointment when they learn that a friend of yours has no idea how to blend colors properly and they spend the entire lunch period trying to teach them. God they're just amazing.

I'm in college now, they're taking a gap year and they had to move to a different state. We don't call each other and I don't talk to them for weeks. I miss them so much. Sometimes when we text it's slow and awkward but I cherish all of it.

I need to emphasize how much I love them platonically. I don't feel butterflies or blush when I'm around them like I did when I had a crush. I just felt safe and happy. My day instantly grew brighter when they were there. They're absolutely obsessed over the 12th(?) doctor and Clara right now and they asked me if they can send me compilations of them together and I said yes and I can feel their obsession through the screen and I felt like I was instantly back at their side in the art class we spent lunch in. I feel their smile. They gave me a journal as a graduation present and they told me in the journal's first page how much I changed their life and how they're a phone call away. In random pages they drew bugs and fish and a kiwi bird and mushrooms and ghosts and I refuse to touch those pages in fear of messing them up. On one of the last pages they wrote I love you on the back and how much of a great human being I am and I cried so hard because they're the amazing one. How the fuck did I manage to become friends with someone like them? How they fuck did I earn their praise? Why am I so lucky? I worry still sometimes that maybe I was too clingy, too by their side, too anything really and that their words are just whatever they could think up to make me feel like they cared whenever they didn't, but looking at those words just makes me feel so happy that I don't give a fuck what the intrusive thoughts are saying.

They gave me a squishmellow bison which I named Hank because they texted me once high off DayQuil and said Hanks instead of Thanks whenever I told them what went on in school the day they were gone. I can't sleep without Hank now. They gave me a bracelet that was orange and blue and green because they asked me my favorite color and I said blue but then I said what if I have multiple favorite colors as a joke and they said they could do that too and they added orange bc orange is their favorite color. Whenever they gave me it I joked that it was the colors of the mystery van in Scooby doo. I lost that bracelet 3 months after they gave it to me and I've been torturing myself over it, so I hold Hank tighter just in case.

One day we'll stop texting and we'll move on with our lives and maybe I'll forget them and all they did for me, but god I hope not. I hope that of all the selfish things I ask of this world on a daily basis, that I remember at least a small part of them. I hope that I gave them at least .0000000001% of the happiness they gave me.

They're sending me compilations of the doctor and Clara right now and they told me they won't stop until they fall asleep. It is 12:49 AM right now and I couldn't be happier

One day I want to fall in love romantically with someone and spend my life with them, but this platonic love I feel for my friend is in no way weaker or lesser than the romantic love that everyone raves and hollers about on a daily basis. Being friends with them is one of the best feelings I've ever felt in my entire life. Just because the love is different doesn't mean it isn't love and doesn't mean it's inferior. I love my friend so much. I hope they sleep well.
