"Turning Pain into Power: How Do You Cope When Hurt by Those You Love?"

Even as a career coach for many and a cheerleader for most, I have my rough days. Life isn’t always smooth, and no matter how much positivity I try to radiate, I face hurt and anger just like anyone else. Hurt can be defined as the emotional pain we feel when we are let down by others. It’s that sting you feel when someone says something careless or acts in a way that makes you feel less valued.…

"She is her mother's daughter, but she is also mine." He's a failure of a man and a failure of a father. [You call yourself a father?] You took my daughter from me and I will never forgive you. [Now I can't forgive him, but I don't hate him either.] Don't lie to me. Don't. Please...my heart won't take it. [I'll tell you, if you tell me why you lied to me about being my father.]

You'd do that? For her? Not just her. [You don't come from nothing Lyra, you're the product of something extraordinary.]

I watched hbo oz on my first year of college and my english wasn't super good so I only caught like half of what they were saying in the beginning bc of the accents, slang etc but my brain was rewired forever < 3

Hello. I saw your post about Sean and the headcanons. If you don't mind, is there anything you can share with us? It's very interesting how people see Sean. (whisperedfaith)

HI TY ILY <3

Ahhh my thoughts on Sean are so jumbled rn... BUT! heres. a brief list:

Gay, He/she/it vibes ,,,

Him and Lexx are wlw/mlm VIOLENCE they want eachother dead and forever will (they're like siblings to me tbh)

I imagine Sean to be a very jealous person, On top of the power hunger, he's really insecure and that's why he has such a desperate grasp for power like that

He's incredibly jealous of Mo. Hates how "perfect" he seems (strong, smart, in general just. good at things? He hates it)

He was rly close to Lee,!! He and Lee met in college and, to Sean, Lee was the closest friend he had.

When he started to listen to the speaker, he lost track of all of his relationships. Unfortunately, he reclused INTENSELY and, as a result he fell out of being around them. When he found out Lee was a carrier he immediately rekindled the friendship and, used that as an excuse to get close to him again.

When he died, he became sort of a guardian. He feels bad. he feels /incredibly/ bad, he wants to make things right, so he does this by popping in to help Lee (although he does still mess with him a little- I like to imagine that the knife could work perfectly well with just a little cut but Sean INSTISTED Lee stab himself)

No one asked for this bit but I also rly like to imagine that Lee and Sean started getting closer and eventually were able to start an actual relationship,,, Not much to add there besides its like a love-hate kinda thing yk. "I love you Lee" "Shut up. ...I love you too.." then they kiss

I will always get whiplash every time a random youtuber uses unwavering emotions jokingly because of something stupidly "sad".

[ancunincurator]

It just dawned on me that Astarion's confession after killing Yurgir doesn't simply come from a sense of gratitude that you helped him, but from the realisation that his plan is working and yet he doesn't feel good about it at all.

Not only doesn't feel good, but to quote Astarion himself, he feels awful about it.

Imagine how it must feel for real romantic feelings to weave their way between cold-hearted habits, instincts, imprinted across 200 years. Forming cracks in the wall he built to keep any unuseful emotionss away. And instead of reinforcing the baricade, he decides to tell you how he feels, willing to let it crumble away peice by piece.

Which is why, perhaps, the confession post-Araj can feel a little less sentimental. Because it's more a reflection of how Astarion sees himself than a reflection of how Astarion sees you.

Just a thought...

Maverick's heart ached at Gemina's conflicted words. All of this was confusing for the prince who saw nothing but conniving and building a strong regime. This moment felt different, like a dream. In the darkness, he gazed upon her with solemn care, cupping her hand against his cheek. "No mockery will come, I swear it," he said gently.

"The injuries I caused, I know cannot heal so simply. But this night, at least, let our tones be true." Slowly, hoping she would feel his sincerity, Maverick leaned in to kiss Gemina's brow.

"You deserve no more lies, no tricks or manipulation. I can only show you with my actions that the Maverick who wronged you is gone." His thumb brushed her cheek with a featherlight touch. "If comfort I bring helps you rest, then I'm glad. But I ask nothing in return - only that you feel safe by my side, as you once did."

A sorrowful smile touched his lips. "Make of me what you will come light. For now, know that you are cared for, truly. Let the night watch be mine, with no cost to your heart save rest." With that, he held Gemina closer still, her head pressed against his chest, while hoping she might find solace against the wounds of past.

@merchantofwhispers

Those thorns. Those horrid, horrid thorns that kept her from fleeing away from the moorlands somehow protected her in equal measure. Gemina's lips began to tremble again, conflicted by his answer, but it was as he told her to forget all that had gone wrong between them -- every lie, every shadow, every painful bite at each other -- that her heart seemed to break.

He was the Maverick she'd fallen in love with, gently touching her and kissing her, and holding her -- and damn him for making her feel so safe as he did. Gemina's shaky hand came up to cradle his cheek while tilting her head to steal a kiss from his lips. "I know this is a lie.." She whispered in a cracking voice. "I know tomorrow you'll mock me for this, tell me how I'm a stupid fool just as you did before, but thank you-.. Thank you for lying to me tonight.."

Why is it that you don’t need me the way I need you?

[skillsetsuccess]

Dealing with an emotional breakdown can be overwhelming, but it’s important to know that you’re not alone. Everyone experiences moments when life’s stressors feel too much to handle. Emotional breakdowns—where we feel like we can’t cope with the pressure—are real and can be triggered by a variety of factors, like prolonged stress, trauma, or mental health challenges. Recognizing Triggers and…

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you @xottan for the tag!!! This beginner is humbled and honored that you'd think to tag me so ended up doing this instead of sleeping.

How many works do you have on ao3?

(4) in my heart; (6) according to ao3. The first (3) were meant to be one thing, but I didn’t know better. Thought a series would tie them together as one unit more than it actually did.

2. What’s your total ao3 word count?

157,510… I have mixed feelings about this. I love writers who have an economy of words so I suspect proper editing would cut that crazy number down, but I don't have a proper editing process.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Marvel Cinematic Universe and Sherlock with an eye towards some anime one day

4. Top five fics by kudos

By pure kudo count, the top three go to the three parts of the

For Appearance’s Sake series (Frostiron) followed by

The Doctor’s Choices (a Johnlock WIP) and

Bend Thee Aghast Challenge (a Frostmaster WIP)

but the kudo rank is nearly identical to the posting dates so with only a four month Ao3 career, I’m not sure kudos is a fair way to judge the work

5.Do you respond to comments?

I do now! @lokislonelylady helped me get over the initial comment response fear and I’m forever grateful. Writing and posting also gave me more confidence to leave comments for others’ works and @xottan was the first writer to respond at length. That was a game changer. I didn’t expect responses and still don’t, but it was nice to feel a connection (thank you!!), so now I make it a point to respond to any comments I get as soon as I can or at least before the next post. I don’t get many so it’s easy enough

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Angsty… maybe Unbinding (part three of that first series)? I was told the last part was a bit depressing before the comfort hit.

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Uh… only 2 works have an actual ending so far… but I suspect The Doctor’s Choices will be the happiest ending of what I have in the works.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not on the fics itself, not yet. More for not knowing what I’m doing, like tagging. The first version of tagging for For Appearance’s Sake series was a mess. Also for not understanding the ship I first ventured into. 

9. Do you write smut?

Ehm. Yes. Not sure that I'm particularly good at it, probably not but I only have one story that’s not explicit/dark, and that was just for a therapy assignment.

10. Craziest crossover?

None as of yet

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not yet. It’s early

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, but that sounds cool.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not yet. I’ve never even had a beta reader… collabs sounds interesting. 

14. All time favorite ship?

Great question. This one is hard. It was Johnlock for a long time. I started reading in the MCU eight months ago, and the MCU has so many creative pairings that I’m just confused. That said, based on the various works in progress and ideas popping in my head, it must be Frostiron at the moment.

15. What’s a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

None. This question prompted me to go fix what I hated about the wip and so, I'm good. I consider Fools’ Scheme a work in progress. Technically, it functions well enough as part 2 in the series in terms of moving the plot along, but considering the whole thing suddenly deviated to an emotional, happy ending, that middle part really needs some emotions massaged into make it work better with part 3, but emotionss are so hard.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I’d love to say action with a bit of world building, but who knows? It’s hard to judge your own work, and based on the comments from the English professor in college… this ESL kid was barely understandable.

Realistically, the strength I can confidently talk about is speed. Based on the past four months, I average about 1200 words an hour when at a computer; 600 an hour on my phone (though to be fair, usually when I’m writing on the phone… I’m also supposed to be doing something else… like work). Makes me question my career choice (zero writing involved in my day job). With this writing speed, I really would have been making bang during Dickenson’s day where writers got paid per word.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Emotionsss. How other writers put emotions on paper is beyond me.  I do okay with fear and anger but the feels? like love and sadness? Absolute crap, and I don’t know that it will get better since the moment my writing starts down that path, I nope out of there so fast that I’m done writing for that day or it pours out of me in an unfiltered melodrama that I can't imagine anyone wants to read and I’m a wreck for half a week.

Other than that, choppiness. I focus so much on the action and plot that some of it comes out short and action, action, action without the why... this is especially true because my adhd has me jumping from scene to scene or even story to story as I write. Literally Johnlock for ten minutes, then it’s Frostmaster for a paragraph, jump to two separate Frostirons I have going on in the back, and a random Loki & Nebula that’s brewing before jumping back to Johnlock. =.=;;; my brain…

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

Yesss. It would be fun to do it in the way Groot is handled in the MCU.

19. First fandom you wrote in?

MCU - Tony Stark/Loki, though it was without even understanding what Frostiron was. I must have read like five Tony Stark/Loki before jumping into writing an unplanned novel, and in all of them, Tony was pretty mean to some weak version of Loki. My fix was to make Loki a bit stronger so that he could send Tony to prison… turns out most people in Frostiron sees them together. Halfway through writing them, I suddenly realized why;;; They’re so alike.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

It varies from moment to moment. Literally, it’s the fic I’m working on and since the last thing I typed is Let’s do ‘Just a slave’, (Thor & Loki) that is the one at the moment, even if it was a therapy assignment. 

It’s not representative of my usual stuff but I did manage to write it in a single sitting of three hours and found it fun, so I guess it counts.

***done!***

Well, that was interesting. More challenging and fun than I had imagined.

Tagging someone: I also tag @lokislonelylady, though, like @xottan says, no pressure. Don’t know if you can even write until you’re fully healed. Sending my love and gratitude either way! Honestly, there should be an amazing commenters’ version of this because @lokislonelylady , you brighten people's day with your comments! I have learned to comment just as much thanks to you.

And while there's really no reason anyone else will stumble on my tumblr, but if you do and you’re writer, consider yourself tagged! (if you want)

[celestie0]

omgg!! You're so cool!! I love the way that you bring all of your characters to life-- it legit brings me to tears. Literally. I started crying. That's besides the point tho!! I can FEEL every emotion that they're feeling by the way you describe the cast of characters!! Rather they be scared, angry, uncomfortable, sad, whatever!!

In the scene where Gojo, in the Kickoff series, had just rejected the reader for the first time, (I WAS KICKING SCREAMING SOBBING AND CRYING YOU DON'T EVEN KNWOWIDHHDHD), I could feel how clouded his mind was by emotion, and what made him miss the goal. I could feel the disappointment from his teammates, but the only thing on his mind was how he could've done things differently with the reader, and it genuinely broke my heart sooo badlyyy, but it was SO GOOD.

And in In Holy Matrimony, first chapter, where Gojo was just like "WAIT!!☝🏽" And stuck his finger out at the reader, and the reader wanted to bite his finger off, it had me dying rolling on the floor because of how funny it was!! I'm so exited to keep reading it!!

You're probably my favorite author, and I'm so glad that you're able to make such compelling stories like these!!

I hope you have a good day, or night, or whatever, wherever you are, and remember to take it easy!!

hiii my dear i am SO terribly sorry i was behind on answering this ask, for some reason tumblr wasn’t showing me the bottom four or so asks in my inbox when i scrolled n i only noticed recently

i’m so happy you feel the emotionss 😭❤️ i suppose thats really the goal, isn’t it? it’s always hard for me to believe people cry to my writing skldkffjhdhd but i hope it’s in a cathartic way lol!

PLS the first chapter of ihm is so funny to me idk if i’ll ever be able to recreate that level of banter 😂😂😂 him casually washing his car n pissing reader tf off first thing in the morning is so funny to me

ouu please i’m so honored to be your favorite 🥺🥺 and tysm for this adorable askkk i could cryyyy <333 much love!!
