#bright moments

[everythingseasoning]

Y’all I had a panic attack today in class. I suddenly started hyperventilating and crying uncontrollably in the storage adjacent to the main room.

This absolutely kind classmate (new friend i hope!) was there when I suddenly broke down and she literally stayed calm, and took me to a quiet place on the stairs, held my hands as my body heaved, helped guide me with breathing in and out, and then when the hyperventilation was lessened slightly she took me to the bathroom to splash cold water on my face. My body was still in panic mode and I was crying, and she warmly, gently asked me what would help. I asked if she could tell me about her day and she talked to me about that as I kept breathing hard, (and I felt WEIRD asking for that), and then we shut off the water. She kept talking to me as if we had all the time in the world and I kept wondering if I was inconveniencing her and I believed that she was only dealing with me because she felt obligated to, and I kept trying to leave the conversation we were having because I thought she wanted to leave, and I was holding her back. She told me not to apologize and said, “You are *not* a burden.” Which… ykno… there’s going to be a journey for me to believe that and know that I deserve love. She also had panic attacks before and she said she knows how much they suck, and that “your body thinks you aren’t safe, but I promise you that’s not true.” She was right. She also can get panicked in crowded places (this wasn’t what caused my panic, but it’s why she isn’t going Black Friday shopping). I somehow ended up briefly talking about Jujutsu Kaisen, among other things, as I calmed down.

I’m realizing just how true it is that I was unloved for most of my life, because I can name 2 people who have shown me the kindness that she showed me, and one of those people is my therapist!! The other I am not friends with anymore. Anyway.. I’m still processing her genuine kindness. Why would she do that. Why would she care about me. She helped me so much..

Also - she likes cats!! And swimming! And nature! I want to get to know her better! She’s a good human :)

And when we exited the bathroom I ran into a girl who literally approached me and complimented my clothing the other week (I looked depressed as fuck eating my lunch weeks ago, and she just came up to me and was so sweet!!! Never met her before, but she noticed me and we had a brief convo on our art classes). Life has its bright moments.

Prompt 187

Clockwork would openly admit that he couldn’t see Danny’s timelines. Not since the moment he stepped into that portal and became something more. A child of Infinity, of the very Realms itself. 

But he’ll also admit that it always meant that the child surprised him all the time. This just happened to be a startling surprise, and an admittedly amusing one, even if Danny was openly complaining about the situation. 

“It’s not fair! You have to be able to fix this, right? Right?!” the ghostling, quite literally now, practically yanked at his cloak. “Clockwork, I was going to graduate, I can’t be two! Please, you’re the master of Time, you can fix this right!?” 

No, no he could not, seeing as young Daniel was in fact, immune to timeline machinations, doubly so for his own. To the ghostling’s open distress, which he did his best to soothe. What he could do instead, was stop time in his home dimension, and instead let him age back up again. 

Which the young halfa wasn’t happy about, but it was the best thing they had, so Clockwork supposed he had a ghostling now. A tiny adorable ghostling who kept pouting each time his much younger body had any sort of effect on his behavior. 

He’d never exactly had a ghostling before, nevermind one who was part human, but he would admit he honestly was enjoying it. Most time was spent alone, something he hadn’t realized until Danny ended up crashing into his unlife. 

Honestly he would openly admit that he absolutely adored his little ghostling. Who was now around four, at least physically, and had gotten into the adorable habit of curling up in the pendulum in his chest. Which was honestly the safest spot in Long Now, he’d admit. 

The singular issue however, with this habit, was that when someone attempted to summon him, they got his ghostling as well. And well, normally he could very much control himself for these summonings that happened every few hundred or so years, but well. There was a reason why even the Observants had stopped popping in the moment they realized he had a ghostling. 

Nesting ghosts do not mess around should they feel one is messing with their very vulnerable child, and really it’s not his fault the mortal cultists woke up and startled Danny. Perhaps deleting them from the timeline was a bit too far, if the other mortals rapid paling was to go by, but oh well.
