i only saw gifs of DH interviewing people at grand central station about their breakups and chasing after people before but i didnt realize there's a youtube video .....
shaking at the part where this woman said her ex was bossy and DH's like. "you don't like a bossy person."
lady: no. not at all
DH: can you say that again
lady: i don't like a bossy person
DH: say it again
lady: i don't like a bossy person
DH: say it one more time.
lady: i don't like a bossy person
DH: seems like you follow orders pretty well

the thing with your heart's desire is that your heart doesn't even know what it desires until it turns up. [...] I hadn't even been looking, not for you, and now you were my heart's desire

Imma be honest. I only went on...3, maybe 4 dates the whole of my high school career, so I don't know if I would have understood this back then, but as an adult who has had many failed relationships, I can definitely say I feel for this girl. I understand her.

Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
"A note, who writes a note like that? Who were you to write one to me? It boomed inside me the whole time, an explosion over and over, the joy of what you wrote to me jumpy shrapnel in my bloodstream. I can't have it near me anymore, I'm grenading it back to you, as soon as I unfold it and read it and cry one more time. Because me too, and fuck you. Even now."
Year Read: 2015, 2023
Rating: 4/5
Is it weird that I went through a breakup and this was the first book I reached for, or is that just bookworm things? It's been years since I read it, and I was curious to see the YA advice for having your heart broken. It turns out making a box of shit to get rid of from the relationship is actually kind of therapeutic, but I think it was less the physical act of making it than the not having to see the reminders around my house anymore that was truly helpful. In any case, this is why we broke up:
I have mixed feelings about Handler as a writer (and a human, but that's a separate issue), but in general I enjoy his John Green era of pretentious young adult narrators, so if that's your thing, this book is likely to work for you. I think the best thing it has going for it is its concept, and in that respect, it works very well. There's something fascinating about a history in objects, and it's lovely to watch Min tell the story of her failed romance through each item in the box, these trivial, saved, beloved things all coming together to represent something meaningful and now lost. I'm also a collector of trivial things (movie tickets, pretty rocks, a bracelet from an ex I haven't spoken to in more than ten years), so this resonated with me.
Unfortunately, it's not as strong in other areas. The artwork is, again, more interesting in concept than execution. They're sort of messy drawings/paintings of objects without context, and I strongly believe my fifteen-year-old niece could have done a better job with them. As far as character and plot go, it's fairly run of the mill, with little to separate it from other breakup stories. There's nothing that special about Min, her friends, or her boyfriend, and it occasionally dips heavily into "she's not like other girls" territory. It's a pretty classic artsy girl dates jock with predictable results story, with a side of the best friend was actually the love interest all along! As a side note: way, *way* too many uses of the word "gay" as an intended slur, despite Min's blatant commentary on why that's an issue. And that is why we broke up.

We talked for the first time since we broke up
1 year later. I messaged you stupidly, you're the one who wanted to talk properly. There were so many things I knew I wanted to say before going in but I didn't one we were there...
Half way through I felt like I knew why we broke up. You were ranting about batting something that in the grand scheme of things is small but I kinda of liked. And rather than say anything, I went quite, just agreed with you even though deep down it made me angry because of all the other times we disagreed where your opinion was the only correct one.
I think thats the core of why it doesn't work. I get angry about something but then expect you to be a mind-reader and then it just makes me more bitter. Even now, Im ranting to an empty void online instead of telling someone actually in my life how I'm feeling. The truth is I know I hurt you when we ended things. But I was hurting while we were together. And its my fault for never saying so but I also guess you never noticed.

How to say “I love you” in Blue Lock
I don’t really want to play soccer, but being with you isn’t a pain, so it’s fine.
Now that I can fight without you, being with you is even more fun
And then there’s this asshole...
I made it this far because of you. Since you allowed me to play soccer freely, I’ve grown this strong on Bastard München. But I can’t climb any higher that way. I figured that out in this match, I no longer need the freedom you give me. Forget about me, Ness. Find yourself a new king. It’s easier for me to live in restriction.
#come to blue lock#we have all kinds of couples here#the pair from the classic misunderstanding soap opera#the sweet best friends to lovers#and now the doomed “I want to be loved but I don’t think I deserve it coz I’m a piece of shit and I only know how to be a piece of shit…#...and your loves makes me feel things I don’t know how to feel and it’s fucking me up so I’m letting you go” asshole#and his confused ex-boyfriend who doesn’t understand why they broke up#i hate them#they make me so ill#but to be honest I’m seeing a pattern in these love confessions#and so I still have hope for kainess#kainess#nesskai#nagireo#reonagi#bachisagi#isabachi#nagi seishiro#mikage reo#bachira meguru#isagi yoichi#michael kaiser#alexis ness#episode nagi#blue lock love#miyamiwu.src#blue lock

i do not have reasoning i just want to see the arthurian knights as coworkers in a grocery store bc i think lancelot n gawain would murder each other over the correct way to stock the shelves
#inspired by: me and my ex#that is why we broke up yeah#also why i quit#which tbf i think only aids my point here#(i am the gawain obviously bc i'm hotter funnier and wildly shorter)#anyway#arthuriana#arthurian legend#lancelot#gawain#sir gawain#sir lancelot#i would elaborate further on this but i am currently thinking about cannibalism so i won't

Opening the asks again huh? Alright I’ll bite.
What’s your decision on Otto’s missing heart situation? Where is it? Does it exist? I want answers!
Not gone, just faded
#trolls#ask#trolls 3#trolls oc#trolls oc otto#clotto#trolls clay#Clay trolls#i should probably post about why theu broke up for a bit and how they got back together .... .... soon!#maybe its depression or suppression or something that makes it fade#like the techno equivalent of going grey#even though we do see them go grey

I finished posting the unabashedly educational Sword Fic.
It includes a detailed (but hopefully beginner-friendly) explanation of all the steps of making a Nichirin blade from a sunny mountain like Mt. Youkou, a touch of swordsmith and metalworker folk lore (including demons), meta about what must make Kimetsu no Yaiba's swordsmithing methods different from real life methods, some character exploration for Haganezuka and his polishing method, vocabulary and additional resources in the chapter notes, and hopefully, an endearing, silly POV character to learn this all through.
#my fics#SWORDS SWORDS SWORDS#would you like a story about the years of background of this fic?#I was not very well-versed in metallurgy until recent years but my study of the Japanese language goes back to#well#longer than some of you may have been around#I always liked samurai and swords for the aesthetic but started to take more of an interest when I lived in Shimane#and on a day when I had a friend taking me around to rural sites associated with a legendary monster she was like#let's go see the sword museum while you're out here#but that museum was closed (it comes back into this story though)#so we went to a different one that no longer exists but that was my first encounter with how much work it takes to make the sword ore#fast forward years later#I am writing this blog and it becomes known as a fun place to read about Japanese culture as seen in KnY (thanks glad you enjoy)#I decide that I must tell people how hard it is to make the ore and finally visit that main museum on a trip back to Shimane#I collect material and struggle to do more research and wrap my head around it#and I write the first version of Teppi's story that focused mostly on the smelting and glazed over the forging and polishing and stuff#meanwhile I am in a job situation I have already long since wanted out of and soon I want out a lot more desperately#job searches were disheartening but then I found THE ONE I WANTED#and on that first interview when I was already like PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE#they asked if there's a Japanese cultural topic I could suddenly explain in great detail if asked#and without mentioning this blog I said I had recently written up something for fun about tatara smelting methods (and they forgot this)#fast forward again and I very happily got the job and was very nervous as I got the rundown on a very large annual nerd project#and when they announced the topics for that year I saw that tatara smelting methods in the region I knew them from was on the list#and I was like#asudyaiusdyuasdyuahduahduhsdhuPLEASE GIVE ME THAT#and i got it and when I went out there for research people were like#...why do you know all this...???????#and since I dared not mention my KnY blog I was like#...I lived in Shimane...#it seems I broke the tags because the rest of the story got cut off but hi yes you get the idea

gorgug thistlespring was a coward. imagine breaking up with your gf because you can’t do long distance all the while your band mate and friend gets an I Love You text from her gf over billions of years through fossilized shellfish, smh
#THIS IS A JOKE TO BE CLEAR#i know we don’t know why they broke up yet i know it was probably reasonable#but figaydas stay winning (we are weeping at the thought of no ayda for the rest of the season)#figayda#gorgug thistlespring#d20#fhjy
