"Can you not? Jesus." Groans Kaiden as he gives me a dirty look.

I sigh. He'd been acting weird all this week. Always getting mad, always yelling, always having a complaint about something.

I lean back in my chair and close my eyes. I try to think to where it all went wrong.

Maybe it was after the incident?

Or maybe it was after the rumors?

.. Maybe he just got tired of me.

My heart yearns for what we once had. We would wake up together, go about our days, and fall asleep together.

"Are you just gonna sit there like an idiot or what?" Kaiden asks, sounding pissed off.

I clench my fists. "Just go back to what you were doing." I say as I grit my teeth.

He rolls his eyes at me, their shady color showing no signs of a soul.

We fall back into silence, neither of us even glancing at each other.

At some point, Kaiden left the room without even saying anything to me.

I curl in on myself, burying my head in my knees.

I ruined something.. Someone so perfect. I tore them down to nothing.

Its my fault.

His voice rings in my head.

"I hate you."

"I hate you."

"I hate you."

I grip onto my hair, tugging hard.

The voice screams louder.

"I HATE YOU."

"I HATE YOU."

"I HATE YOU."

----------------

I shoot up in bed, gasping. I run my hands through my hair.

Fuck.. same nightmare again.

I check the time, 3:02 am.

I sigh as I put my face in my hands. I can feel the semi-dry tear tracks on my face.

I get out of bed and check my phone as I head to the bathroom.

'38 messages'

'15 missed calls'

'18 voicemails'

I turn my phone off. Fuck them. I don't need them.

I go into the bathroom and catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror.

My hairs all frizzy, my face is sunken and pale, and I look skinnier than ever.

I try to look away, but it feels like the mirror has a chokehold on me.

I can't look away.

My eyes widen.

I see someone behind me in the mirror.

Green eyes stare at me and the figure places a hand on my shoulder.

"I love you." It says.

I move my shoulder, the presence of its hand sending a shvier up my spine. "No." I mumble.

The hands grab my hair and stroke it.

"Look at these locks, worth everything." It smiles.

"Stop.." I whisper, looking down.

The hands gently holding my hair suddenly yank, hard. My head is forced up and I stare at those green eyes though the mirror.

"I love your long hair.. So delicate.. So.. soft." It says lovingly, the tone hiding a bit of the malicious intent.

I grip a strand of my hair. "Please.. please go.." I beg.

The hands grip my shoulders, nails digging into my skin.

I try to hold back my tears.

"You're mine. All mine.."

I start to shake.

"Isn't this what you want?"

I shut my eyes tightly.

"You want my love."

My eyes snap open.

"NO! I HATE YOU! LEAVE.!" I scream, my nails digging into my arms.

The pressure on my shoulders dissapears, and I'm alone once again.

I gasp for air as if there was none I could breathe in.

I shake as I look around my bathroom. My eyes frantically scan the room until they settle on a pair of scissors.

I grab them without a second thought. My eyes out back to looking on the mirror.

My eyes narrow.

I grip the scissors tighter. I bring them up against a strand of my hair.

I close my eyes, and I snip.

I keep going until I can feel tears running down my face.

I open my eyes to see someone else in the reflection of the mirror.

My long brown hair used to go down my back, straight and soft.

Now it was slightly under my shoulders and all messy.

I can't look away from the stranger looking back at me.

It's gone. The last part of.. me.. is gone.

I drop the scissors.

Who even am I.?

does anyone else experience the adhd-created nightmare of having to choose between having a healthy daily routine and getting anything done at all

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GALACTA KNIGHT!!!! And congratulations to Meta Knight for experiencing the Cain Instinct for the first time.

Galacta Knight, as you might've been able to tell already, is one of my favorite characters, and KSSU is one of my favorite games (the original SS was my introduction to Kirby!) so I wanted to go all out. Happy day, old man. I pray for at least 20 more years.

Oh, and don't worry! He's not upset about the cake smash, he thinks it's funny. And he got back at him.

As for the in-universe explanation for there being 16 candles in his cake?

... 500+ didn't fit in safely.

The birthday boy and his family were just a bit too flammable.

Return date for my webcomic, Time and Time Again!

It's been set for a while but sometimes they change the date without warning, so I'll keep you updated if anything changes!

I'm extremely proud of the work I've been doing on it, I can't wait to share everything!

See you then!

Tickletober prompt day 12: “Favorite Tickle Game.”

Love a game with high stakes~

the long awaited (by me i didn’t like the old one) four swords leo redeisgn :) this is a bit later when he’s more healed cause i ddint wanna draw the crutches lmao

gonna ramble abt my thought process under the cut if people are interested

first idea when redesigning was to incorporate his canon gear into it cause he DOES still have that.

he put pieces of fabric with his brother’s colors on hi belt thing as a reminder of home. in a similar vein, he wears his mask around his wrist as a bracelet cause he doesn’t like wearing it when his brothers aren’t around to match w him

for the actual clothes, i wanted to try to imitate the style of clothes in neo edo? unsure of how successful i was with that. i thought he’d choose smth similar to the robe he wears in lair games cause this guy is fighting for ANY sense of familiarity. he then tried to sew on the hamato symbol. being a medic, the stitches themself r pretty good but the symbol is a little fucked cause he’s never done anything like that. it’s the thought that counts!

honestly i think maybe i love ace attorney because its so magical girl coded....the formula of a dumbass who has no idea what they are doing but have to roll with whatever comes their way and preserve out of goodness of their heart is so so magical girl (and a step further, pink cure) in essence, just done with evidence and objections instead of magical rods and mascots

*side note: weirdgirl assistants are essentially a mascot role in this reading as they provide advice/help/just moral support while being a very comedic character and also need saving at times

when your main characters start dating after years of writing so they finally get to be like this
