#i have to admit my feelings soon

[profeucalyptus]

it's been a really nice week. pretty happy with how everything is turning out, the research paper is actually in it's revision phase, so me and burnet can move forward once that's done! bastion just evolved into a palosand, and he's so cute! he's a bigger guy now, he evolved when i was getting attacked by a wild raticate.

kukui and i have been getting lunch a lot lately, and i've started helping out at the pokemon school with him! it's a good experience to get closer to him and to expand my own horizons! he's also asked me if i'd like to help with the pokemon league, but i had to decline, those days are behind me.

total drama moment (4/8)

I’m finally biting the bullet and contacting a therapist today after being ambivalent ab it for so long… this hellsite has its many disadvantages but one thing I can say is it has truly helped me be less scared of pursuing therapy. Silver lining etc etc

not to get too mushy on main, but when I was feeling really low after the election, I admitted to my mother that I've been really sick and in pain lately and the housework has gotten away from me and that's part of why I feel so overwhelmed.

that was less than a week ago, and already three family friends have offered to come help me clean out my house. because they love me.

idk, when you're disabled and you have depression, it's very easy to feel like you're worthless and no one would ever want to put up with the shitty, awful parts of being around you. seeing people volunteer to do that feels nice.

so I have already been pretty quiet on here recently but uh. i kind of genuinely need to take a step back from sexual stuff for a while - nothing happened, i just think it is maybe a bit unhealthy how much of my time is taken up by Being Horny and Getting Off. like as much as those r both normal I do them too often, like. genuinely. idk when I’ll start being active again but thank u for understanding

"It is too easy to dismiss [Leonor of Navarre] as an overambitious schemer who would do anything to obtain a crown, shedding the blood of her own siblings and her subjects in order to attain the throne. However, a deeper investigation of her long lieutenancy and ephemeral reign shows a woman who fought tenaciously to preserve her place but also worked tirelessly to administer a realm which was crippled by internal conflict and the center of the political schemes of France, Aragon, and Castile. She tried to broker peace, fight off those who opposed her, repair the wounds caused by conflict, protect the sovereignty of the realm, and keep the wheels of governance turning. Leonor was not always successful in achieving all of these aims but given the background of conflict and the lack of cooperation she received from all of her family members, bar her loyal husband, it is a huge achievement that she survived to wear the crown at all. Many writers have argued that Leonor deserved the troubled lieutenancy, personal tragedies, an ephemeral reign, and a blackened reputation, basing their assumption that she committed a crime that cannot be [conclusively] proven. However, a more fitting description of her would be that of a resolute ruler who successfully overcame a multitude of challenges in order to survive in a difficult political landscape and gain a hard-fought throne.”

I think the reason people are really excited and very much waiting for the kidnapping tag is because we looooove protective Yohan (as seen in It Is Mine To Avenge which was beyond perfect so thank you for quenching our thirst lol).

That being said, I am a little worried about the minor character death; because in my mind it could be anyone except the Kangs and Gaon, which is good obviously, but now that we know the characters better I feel a certain connection to all of them and if anyone of them died, I wouldn't be devastated per say but I know you are going to write it in a way that would hit.

Of course, I am not saying that you shouldn't do what you planned on doing from the beginning, we all read the tags and know what we are in for, but it will still make me sad (as if we weren't sad for the majority of this fic lol) even if I know it is coming.

I can understand that since protective Yo Han is very interesting — otherwise I wouldn't have written It Is Mine to Avenge — but I guess it's just a little... worrying? Because I'm not sure if what I have planned will feel quite as satisfying as some people seem to be hoping for? Not to mention that it's still so far away? And this isn't the first time someone has asked me when it will happen or how long they'll have to wait before it shows up. I guess it's just stressing me out to have people ask for something I know won't be happening anytime soon x'D

It's a bit like having a couple of kids in the backseat continuously asking "Are we there yet?" and knowing we're nowhere close.

(Tbh I had hoped that It Is Mine to Avenge would distract people a little and not make them fixate so much on the kidnapping tag on Who Holds the Devil, but it seems like the opposite happened. Now people are pushing for it even more in Who Holds the Devil, except it's not like I can rearrange my entire timeline to make it happen sooner?)

That's fair. And I can't lie and say that the minor character death tag isn't there for a reason — some people are going to die. The question is just who. And under what circumstances. Which I obviously can't tell you since that would be spoilers :P

But, that said, it's not a choice I made lightly. Like, even killing off villains should only be done after careful consideration, and especially the way they die. Sun Ah is a good example of that, I think. She knew she was going to die — since she didn't doubt that Yo Han would blow up that room, even with himself in it — and then she'd rather shoot herself. There's obvious thought involved in that choice and I think it's important to give characters that dignity, even when they're villains.

But yes, I will carry on with my plans. In all honesty, it's very, very difficult to make me change my mind when it comes to certain plot points and this is one of them. Not to mention that it's far too late to start changing things in the major plotlines of this fic x'D

Also, I promise that there will be a lot of happiness in the fic, too! Once Yo Han and Ga On actually get together, they'll be disgustingly cute. And still have issues and things they have to address, sure, but I am going to cram so much domestic fluff in this fic, you have no idea. Just fucking watch me.

So just hang in there! We'll get to the happier bits eventually!

Welcome to „The High Republic“, where everybody is traumatized :D

I couldn’t put everyone on that chart, but we all can clearly see the average trauma

Also if someone has suggestions/ criticism, I’ll gladly take it :)
