#and i don't know how to get it back

[lovenliterature]

Give me back what was mine

Of all the things my broken body has taken from me I miss my memory the most I used to be able to recall whole scripts and lists of every person I had known at the drop of a hat Losing that is something of the natural process of aging, I know Old and useless information makes way for the new But I turned 19 and my time was taken, slowly at first Snatches of hours lost to sleep here and there Creeping up faster and faster until there was little of me left When I came round from the slumber, I remembered less than i thought I would Natural, I suppose, when your body goes through a trauma But I didn’t realise that effect would be long-lasting That I’d lose the clarity of memories of a first love, of throwing up my first drinks of alcohol, of seeing my father cry for the first time Cognitively, they are still there I have told and retold them enough times to know them in a different way Half the memory is in its telling, after all But they’re always shrouded in a layer of fog Sometimes I live through an experience, knowing half of it will be gone in the blink of an eye Important moments used to be catalogued down to the very words and intonation Now I’m lucky if I remember the feeling But the worst of it, the worst feeling of all Is not even knowing how much was lost

the moment I heard elphaba's delivery of "there's a girl i know..." in i'm not that girl i knew i had to draw this comic, i strongly recommend listening to it while you read for the full experience!

this comic is a companion to this piece (which was inspired by glinda's delivery of the same line in the i'm not that girl reprise).

pages 1-4 are from elphie's pov, pages 5-8 are from glinda's.

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

IS THAT BABY MAGNUS?!? wait i looked at the tags it is him. Little baby brother figure who is going to end up being at least one head taller than OP <3

based on this post

honestly. a head taller is being optimistic. and as such optimus refuses to acknowledge any other possibility thank you very much <3

anyway baby magnus accepted daily cuddles on the condition he got to set the amount of time they lasted for and he had a "get out of air jail free" card per week. optimus finds these acceptable and makes sure to always respect and follow the baby's boundaries to the letter.

and he very carefully doesn't say anything when magnus starts seeking him out on his own whenever the day starts to end and they haven't hugged yet. and he definitely doesn't mention the fact he hasn't used any of his "get out free" cards in months.

neither of them notice the rapidly shrinking gap between the floor and magnus' feet until the day optimus goes to pull him up and they're still brushing the ground. it's hard to say who's more devastated about this 😔(it's OP ofc it's OP it's not even close-)

Imagine sheep (idk lol) y/n dragon meeting longan I bet longan would be wondering "how come the dragon kind has been reduced into this... so cute and floofy?!!"

I do a whole bunch of rambling in the tags for this one ^^u But! Dragon y/n would ask them so many questions about the time when dragons were common!

I have achieved the asking of the date and now my Drifter will suffer. Like we gotta believe that our drifters have little to no social skills. It's amazing how this happened.
