#all the childhood yearning

[nissho-ku]

finally kissing the friend you've been yearning for. ( for isagi )

growing up as childhood friends, yoichi has always been one of the closest to rin. seeing him grow up from a reckless child who used to climb trees to grab birds out of nests, to a calm teen who looked forward to inheriting the estate from his older brother was fascinating. yoichi clung to him like always, having special privileges to be in his space, witness his smiles, his interest in flowers and growing their garden they started as children together. it was no surprise when yoichi developed feelings for rin, but he is of class, and yoichi and his family are merely family friends in a slightly lower class. he didn't want to impede on rin looking for someone who would be a good match for him, but sometimes he wonders what what happen if he went out on a limb and let his feelings be known.

in their garden, knees gently bump each other, mindless chatter over growing up together fill the otherwise quiet air. yoichi feels the subtle heat in his gut, the closeness of their bodies making yoichi feel warmer than he actually is. he knows he's blushing from the way rin stares at him. there's a look he always gets when he does, and the question to why he was has stopped but the curiosity remains in his eyes. yoichi can't help himself, shifting closer towards rin, as he looks at his lips, then at rin's eyes.

“i-i'm gunna do something. tell me if you don't like it,” he breathes, leans up to press a kiss to rin's lips. it's shy, weak, and embarrassingly quick. yoichi pulls back with wide eyes. “rin..?” he feels like he'd caught the other off guard of course, but he's scared he'd ruined their lifelong friendship over an impulsive decision. yoichi swallows, moves to get up, mumbling an embarrassed apology, when he's snatched back down into warm strong arms with a squeak. his chest thuds loudly, taking in the vicinity in which he and rin shared now. rin mutters something about running away from him, to which yoichi scoffs, blush blooming up his ears and neck. “you weren't saying anything, dummy. i-if you liked it, you should kiss me back... stupid rin... tell me you like me too.”

“Don’t you ever miss it?”

“Only the idea of it.”

It’s okay to miss something. But don’t forget how it hurt.

Today I am thinking about how hilariously and artfully FoF has continued to equivocate on the nature of ZYC's feelings towards WX

Earlier you said you picture Rebecca as hands off or mostly on the periphery if she was present at all while Cam is rediscovering her indigenous identity and how she wants to express it. So ultimately, in your ideal future for Cam in which she embraces that aspect of herself and is embraced in turn by the community, do you picture Cam with another first nations woman as part of her healing? Like, does that fit better?

Ya know I haven’t really thought about it honestly! When I try to imagine Rebecca in Cam’s journey of reconnection I fully see her being supportive and being present. But I don’t see her pushing Cam in anyway. For example, if Cam expresses she doesn’t wanna go to ceremony because she feels like she doesn’t fit in, Rebecca wouldn’t try and talk her out of that mindset. Rebecca on the sidelines as her biggest cheerleader but not the coach, if that makes sense?

I definitely think Cam needs more native friends and relatives. But I don’t think she needs to be with another indigenous person romantically, in order to heal. Even tho Becca will never fully understand that part of Cam, they still know each other so well and would continue to grow together

Truthfully I think once Cam became more comfortable with that part of herself she would be eager to share with Rebecca! And rebecca would be equally receptive! We have seen that they crave being in each others orbit, so when I say periphery I don’t think Rebecca would be straying far

The 90s and early 00’s English equestrian aesthetic was perfect. Hunter green breeches with tan patches, team polo shirts and that waterproof jacket with your barn logo you begged for. The GPA helmets with the center stripe, the original GR8 from Charles Owen, the fluffy sheepskin halters eq horses had for shows, dark saddles with light knee rolls and a fluffy pad. Sheepskin everywhere. Brass hardware and nameplate bracelets. The smell of Marygold spray. It is 2003 and the dark November 5pm creeps over my after school jumping lesson; my friends and I walk our horses out, counting the quarters we have to see if we can split some hot Cheetos from the vending machine while we wait for our parents to pick us up. Stained uggs replace our riding boots as we pack up to go. This is my Roman Empire.

Reclining on a fainting couch, hands laced together and resting over my stomach as I stare up at the ceiling. Why the fuck do I so frequently end up caught between being attracted to mean guys (and gals) but also the wife material guys? Duality of man is falling for both all the time, apparently, and never knowing which I actually genuinely like better.

I wrote out a whole theory about why I like mean people before I realised the logic no longer applied to my current circumstances/character and now I'm back at square one. Perhaps the real answer is as lame as: because I like a challenge and the idea that someone treats me Extra Special compared to how they treat others.

At the end of the day, idk.

when i was a child my absolute DREAM was to be a snooker player it was like my entire personality up until the age of about eight and sometimes i look back and ask myself why i haven't committed to that yet. all the best snooker players used to just do normal everyday jobs and then play snooker on the side and even though most of them started really young they never got proper successful or famous (not that you can get famous playing snooker these days) until they were like thirty or forty. what i'm saying is watch this space

[christakisbang]

everyone...watch love next door....
