Yoooo I like your null design, the polo makes him a very dapper gentleman

“Oh jeepers…” [he looked to the side, confused but flattered]

“…Dapper? Gentleman..? That’s a new one… Thanks, I guess.” -📁

[my-names-kris]

thinking of everyones reaction and like

ink would be shocked, even if he knew about the state of the multiverse, that error had kids. he doesnt think he is the fatherly type, or nice type at all. he still views error as some sort of monster, like "the other" hes against. he doesnt even think of error as his own person with wants and desires. also hed think that error fucked, got pregnant, and had children despite void and null looking just like him. hes sooo stupid ur honor.

dream is in a similar boat as ink, him being shocked that children would even want to be around error. hed try to take them away from error to "protect" them from him. ofc void and null would be having none of it and hate both dream and ink.

berror... i feel like in this au hed both feel bad for errors previous state as destroyer but also have resentment toward him over leaving his role, leading to him becoming the next destroyer. but he knows that its not errors fault that fate did what she did. so hed be a mix of of happy that error has kids to care for and upset that he was off taking care of said kids while he was doing his job. still tho, doesnt hold any resentment toward the kids in general.

nightmare would be shocked for different reasons, because ERRORS ALIVE and not HE HAS KIDS. hed gladly take in void and null. maybe tease error about their names, before the kids tell them that they love their names actually

bringing this up cuz i thought of them: for the fgod berror au, when error comes back, does he leave or bring void and null? im leaning moreso on leaving, but i also feel like error is attached to the two enough to where theres the possibility of him bringing the two.

also, itd be funny to see everyones reaction for error not just being back, but being back with two whole children.

I think it'd be really funny that null and void are clinging as hard as they can to error so he can't pry them off of him without hurting them. Error like, physically CANT and goes "omg FINE."

| @exterreria starter.

" h-hey— I'm back! "

he only calls out a greeting when he's certain only his companion is around, carefully examining the room he left her in. she hid herself well ; not a sign of her lingers in the open where any human eye could spot her. meaning that the boy could only hope she was not only still here, but that she would reveal herself to him. especially since he wasn't in an energetic mood to play any childish games with her.

there's an obvious swelling in his left eye, black edged around his lids and puffing the skin there to a point that he's forced to squint. the white of his eye tinted pink. during his supply run ( that he insisted on doing alone ) he made a miscalculation, sending him into a mess of injuries. a swollen eye, a couple of bruises along his rib area, and his knees skinned raw from being dragged. this is why he took so long to work his way back to his survival partner. the runaway looked half dead on his feet, coughing as he limped around the room.

yet he was successful in what he wanted to achieve. cradled in his arms was chunks of bread and small carrot pieces ; items he got his hands on with the help of his nomes. they would eat well today, and that was enough comfort to ignore how weak he felt from the journey. once he reaches the middle of the room, he glances at the cloth placed down from hours earlier and lets the food fall on to it. arms heavy without the added weight.

thankfully, his journey didn't require him to get soaked this time. any wetness to the clothes were from his sweat, which he viewed as a major accomplishment. with each passing day, the runaway saw less and less of the depths. such a fate he owed mostly to the girl ( null, wasn't it? his head was too dizzy to confirm that fact again ).

standing strains him too much, so he lets himself sit down in front of the arrangement of food he brought. legs pressing into his chest while he reaches out for a crumb of bread. there wasn't any water to drink, but they could journey after and find plenty of it— unless his body made it impossible for him to do so. his knees sting something fierce, blisters and scrapes burning with any movement, which makes him sit still. stuffing bread in his mouth ( the dough sticking like cotton to his dry tongue ) with sluggish movements to prevent unnecessary moves.

looking around and still not seeing null, he's quick to swallow the bread and call out again, " you can come out... " encouragement slips past his lips easier than air.

was she mad at him? surely not. when he asked her to stay, it had been out of care. she had pulled more weight than he during these times and he wanted to pay her back for it. letting her relax in a room while he proved himself with gathering food. risking his life for the extra bits was foolish ( clearly, considering how much he ached ) but he did it!

no matter how she felt, the boy was longing for her to come out and enjoy what he brought them. honestly, he was starting to worry she assumed him dead and left due to how long he took— though he knows that was simply his fear talking, and tries to write off that idea the best he can.

nonetheless, despite his efforts, the worry frets in the pits of his chest. something that will only be soothed when he spots familiar yellow and bandaged eyes.

[zackfiar-a]

zack fair UR HAND PLEASE?? 

it took me a bit to realize that zack had a lot of influence in ff7 indirectly (but for this instance ill be talking about the remake because i can barely remember playing the og when i was like 7) a lot of these deal w aerith but U Know + among other things that i rant about

like, helping some random dude name 7th heaven in exchange for the wood thats needed to build aeriths flower wagon, aerith wearing pink after a certain point because she promised zack to wear it every time they saw each other even tho it was ‘silly’ (also buying aeriths bow but that seems null and void in the remake), aeriths ‘just one date’, even tho sephiroth was already on the tipping point zack helped edge him just a little off the deep end asking him about ‘we’re average soldiers but what about u?’ and asking about sephiroths family (altho genesis helped him keep that curiosity), in the remake if u chose ‘how much?’ for the option when aerith offers u the flower for helping her she gets a bit aggressive than going for a measly 2 girl for a real flower (something zack told her, dont just settle for less u need to be more aggressive; assert urself), and even zacks suggestion for selling the flowers in the first place which is how aerith and cloud even met in the first place, and even mentioning kunsel in the remake (someone no one talks about because he doesnt have a face under the mask and hes literally Never mentioned again outside of crisis core) when those infantryman see cloud in the shinra building, hojo recognizing cloud as his runaway specimen (cloud: im an (ex) soldier 1st class, hojo: lol no ur not, cloud: pikachu meme), “ur eyes!!”

im sure theres more because i remember a lot of things connecting to zack but i cant think of them atm rip but this boy has endured a lot of trauma that i didnt rly connect to? it was like a domino effect 

first, being pushed a bunch of missions on from sephiroth because he refused to deal w those that had angeal or genesis thus leaving zack to do his dirty work, then slaying ur mentor and close friend by ur hand thus inheriting the buster sword (which starts to conflict his beliefs, soldier honor and dreams, that has been ingrained in him since he joined or was under angeals wing haha get it?), being held out to dry because of the disappearance of lazard thus being attacked by genesis copies when he thought he killed him), which goes back to encountering angeal copies when ur like ??? thought i killed him so hes rly alive?, THEN confronting sephiroth that has convinced himself that he is the true ruler of the planet and getting fucked up in the process, now him and cloud are getting experimented on (i can only imagine what has happened seeing as zack wasnt directly affected by the jenova / s cells that was implanted into him (lots of needles, electricity, and incisions if anything assuming by hojos surgery room in the remake), angeals image appearing his mind and waking him up to save cloud who has a mako addiction and poisoning from the failed experimentation and being in a pod for 4 years, BACK to killing genesis and only to meet ur end after u promised the girl u loved that u would see her again and inheriting ur hopes and dreams on that boy u saved

hes naive, headstrong, impatient, wants to do everything to prove himself, friendly, determined, loyal, emotional af, stubborn, sucks at intaking information, sentimental, and has such a pure soul 

after angeals death he practically changed his image to be more ‘mature’ and gave such a heartfelt speech that affected more than just cloud and inspired many ppl to live out their dreams too (luxaerie if ur out there), and the bonds hes formed with ppl ie cissnei and tseng (i dont count reno or rude since he only encounters them when hes on missions w either tseng or ciss), aerith and cloud, and sephiroth too; which they never rly explained why zack joined soldier in the first place (to become a hero sure) but i assume since clouds intentions to join in the first place was because of the war hero sephiroth that zacks was similar considering how genuinely excited he was that he was going to be going on a mission with sephiroth!! whoa!!! only to lose that infatuation over time

might i say that he indirectly met vincent? what a guy, nice to see someone unironically sleep in a coffin thats a nice conversation starter

in the end he went from being a proud member of soldier to an ex-soldier because no one saw zack as that humble and inspiring guy instead to just a runaway failed experiment with implanted jenova / s cells that dont Rly Work rip to cloud but hes different, and wanting to become a mercenary?? King 

[the-legendary-professor-cherry]

what's ur favorite mythical/legendary pokemon from each region :0?

I have to say, this question stumped me a bit! There are so many great creatures to choose from each region, but I’ve finally settled on a list. 

From Kanto, I have to say my favorite of the Legendaries is Articuno! That chilly bird has been a long-time favorite of mine, and I always admired how gracefully it maneuvered the sky every time it took flight. 

From Johto, Lugia has to be my favorite (although Raikou is a relatively close second). A childhood friend of mine is actually employed in a facility that studies the effects Lugia have on the ocean currents as well as their communication through song. I’ve been permitted to visit on a few occasions, and developed a bit of a fascination! I’d love to have the honor of meeting one up close.

Hoenn’s Groudon takes the cake as my favorite from the region. Although Sky Angel gives me a soft spot for Rayquaza, there’s something magificent and mysterious about Groudon, don’t you think? Continents tremble when it walks, and volcanic eruptions happen each time it yawns---or so legend says, at least. 

Sinnoh’s a bit tougher for me to narrow down, since I’ve had the high honor of interacting up close with a number of these Pokemon. As a Professor working in Sinnoh, I have to develop deep and relatively good relations with the local Legendaries so that we may work together to best protect our region. That being said, I’ve been able to foster wonderful relationships with the Lake Trio---Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie---and I’ve been assigned to meet with them occasionally at their respective lakes to leave offerings and gifts of thanks. Palkia and Dialga have far better things to do with their time than listen to the ramblings of little ol’ Professor Cherry, but I do frequent Spear Pillar to leave them gifts as well. I’ve always had an inclination to Palkia rather than Dialga, and Arceus is another Pokemon I’ve always respected very deeply . . . this region is tied for Palkia and Arceus.

Unova’s favorite tend to change for me every so often. I love Reshiram and Zekrom very equally! There may be one day I wake up and feel a really passionate adoration for Zekrom, then the next day my preference changes immediately to that of Reshiram! Bizarre, isn’t it?

My favorite from Kalos is Yveltal. Hand’s down--no contest. Not only do we have an Yveltal currently in our care at my facility, but it’s actually a shiny Yveltal. I’ve mentioned the threat of Pokemon poachers before, and this particular Yveltal was captured by poachers and sustained heavy injuries from the net it was trapped in. By some miracle, a Cobalion happened to wander by and chased the poachers away. It remained with the Yveltal until my facility was called and I helped bring it back to our compound. It’s recovering beautifully, although a number of its wounds will permanently scar. Such a shame.

Lastly, as much as I love Solgaleo, the title of Professor Cherry’s Favorite Mythical and Legendary Pokemon from Alola has to go to Silvally. As I’m sure you’ve all realized by now, I have quite a bit of a soft spot for Pokemon who need help. The Silvally we have at our facility was given to us by the current Alolan Champion as a Type: Null for us to protect and aid it. While feeding it berries just a few weeks ago, the most beautiful thing happened--Null broke free from its control mask, right in front of me! Why, I was so honored I nearly burst into tears then and there. I helped the newly-emerged Silvally remove the remaining mask fragments. My colleagues and I have now taken up research alongside the Alolan Champion to see if it is possible to breed Silvally and take them off of the critically endangered list. It really would be a shame to see them die out; they’re such magnificent creatures.

Thank you so much for listening to my ramblings! It fills my heart with joy knowing there are others out there who enjoy learning about Legendary and Mythical Pokemon as much as I do.

Isn't interesting that KC was noticeably absent during SDCC? If the upcoming redemption for BS and vengeance for Quentin aren't something talked about at sdcc, could it be that BS/LL 2.0 aren't going to be relevant storylines going forward?? Or is it just wishful thinking that KC might be leaving the show, 2 years since her character was killed off?

Anon asked: Hello Jen just saw the s7 sizzle reel and confused and a bit annoyed that the writers are dragging along another season with BS. It seems she is still pretending to be LL and in what seems to be 1summer has gotten a law degree. So how do you think this redemption arc is going to work? BS is seeking absolution as someone else? Makes no sense. The one character that connects her to the narrative is dead, now she’s seeking vengeance for QL. How they twist the plot to fit BS? What’s ur take on this?

Anon asked: Hello Jen - Big fan of your blog and all your insights. I just read that they’re bring back KC as a regular next season. Why is it harder to get rid of L*rel/not L*rel from Arrow than getting gum off one’s shoe? I still love Olicity but after the loss of Thea and Lance, I’m definitely not too excited for next season. Your thoughts?

Uhhh… when was the last time KC’s character was relevant? When she died?

I don’t know the reason for KC’s absence, something about family commitments. I don’t think it’s a tip off that she’s leaving the show like it was at SDCC 2015. The lack of discussion around her character says to me she’ll have as much relevancy as she’s ever had, which ain’t much.

If the season theme is redemption then I’m sure BS will be trying to redeem herself to honor Quentin’s sacrifice (still so much ridiculousness). Quentin died for BS because he wanted to die for his L*urel, but couldn’t. 

What the man really needed was copious amounts of therapy, but what’s done is done. Arrow killed off the one character BS shared the most screen time with so I anticipate she’ll be playing a smaller role because of it. I’ve been wrong before, but time will tell.

Do I think it makes sense for BS to stick around and pretend to be LL? No. Quentin was her last “familial” connection in Star City and it was tenuous at best. I’d prefer to see BS on Legends and watch Sara grapple with the woman who wears her sister’s face, but is nothing like her. I’m sure I’m in the minority though.

I think the BS redemption will be a cycle of ups and downs. Sometimes she’ll be the better person and sometimes she won’t. The only real interesting element to the character is that she is evil - that she’s not Laurel. 

So, I think it would be a mistake for the show to ignore that completely and I don’t believe they will. From my perspective BS is the new Malcolm Merlyn. Merlyn always promised he changed, and every so often even did the right thing, but more often the character was working an angle that benefited him. And Oliver Queen never trusted Malcolm Merlyn. 

Beth did say a little something about Bl*ck S*ren’s storyline at SDCC:

“The demise of her father’s Earth-1 counterpart is a huge story point moving forward. She will try to live up to the L*urel L*nce legacy to make him proud. But her alter ego, Bl*ck S*ren, has her craving vengeance.”

Source: @legends-of-today

The real question for me is where does BS start the season? If she’s been on the straight and narrow for the last five months, pretending to be LL, then she’s starting out high. The pendulum will swing the other way. So, her arc could be trying to be a better person, but ultimately failing by season’s end. Just because the season’s theme is redemption doesn’t mean everyone will achieve it. This would be the more interesting route to me because it keeps the evil angle in play.

Look at it this way - what happens if Arrow fully redeems Bl*ck Sir*n? Her character arc is over the same way LL’s was over once she became Bl*ck C*nary. The writers are right back where they started, which is why they killed her off in the first place. 

So, this redemptive tug of war is one of the few storylines that keeps Bl*ck Sir*n interesting. Possibly.

Quite frankly, I was woefully disappointed in her character arc in S6. We started off with a bang in Season 5, but ended in a whimper. The writers relegated a powerful meta human to a damsel in distress. Bl*ck Sir*n was a ping pong ball Lance and Diaz batted between them. It was bizarre. 

And let’s keep in mind Bl*ck Sir*n’s need for revenge is a primary reason Diaz is free. She screwed up Oliver’s plan something big, so now his family is in witness protection while he sits in prison absolutely powerless to protect them.

BS isn’t winning any popularity contests with Team Arrow, no matter how many law books she crams or nice suits she wears. She’s an uncontrollable element, an X factor. That’s the only way she adds drama to the show. Remove that and there’s not much else.

Also, if you are expecting her ability to practice law to make sense may I remind you the writers thought LL was ready to fight crime after a couple boxing lessons. After they completely erased LL’s self defense classes, of course. Don’t try to make sense of it. Logic doesn’t apply to any version of this character.

Of course, my investment in Bl*ck Sir*n is biased because I am thoroughly apathetic about the character, just like I was with LL by the end. I own that. But let’s address what the LL fans really want. They want Bl*ck S*ren to be redeemed and become LL 2.0, take back the mantle of Bl*ck C*nary, and be in a romantic relationship with Oliver. 

1) Bl*ck S*renwill never be L*urel L*nce because she is a different character. 

She comes from a different world with an entirely different life experience. I’m not just saying this because it’s a LL doppelganger. If another Roy from a different earth arrives in Star City would we say that’s our Roy? OF COURSE NOT. Our Roy is off living his happily ever after with Thea wiping out Lazarus Pits. Is Nazis Oliver the same as our Oliver? NOOOOO! 

BS is a different character because it’s a different character. Anyone who cannot accept that can’t accept logic.

2) Bl*ck S*ren will never be Bl*ck C&nary because Arrow already has a new Bl*ck C*nary (Dinah Drake). PIPE DREAM.

3) Forget all that for a second. Let’s say Bl*ck S*ren becomes this unattainable 2.0 version of LL as KC fans desire. Let’s say she takes back the Bl*ck C*nary mantle. Oliver Queen wouldn’t touch BS with a ten foot pole. He wouldn’t touch L*urel with a ten foot pole by the time she died. 

That’s just fact. If you need additional reassurance then the writers have said many times Bl*ck S*renand Oliver Queen are never going to happen. Oliver’s endgame is and will always be Felicity Smoak.

So what’s the real impact to a BS redemption story? Not much. It’s the same equivalent of giving L*urel the motorcycle or whatever other crumbs they tossed her fans. Give it to them. Or don’t. It doesn’t really matter either way. 

Arrow killing off L*urel was one of their ballsier moves, and yes it’s disappointing to see them circumvent it with this doppelganger nonsense. It lessens the impact of death which was one of the many reasons they killed LL. They needed to raise the stakes for the superheroes and show the audience they can die. 

Do I think Arrow will kill off KC’s character again? No. I don’t. The writers say they have new ways to utilize the actress with this different character. I think that’s partially true. I also think KC has nine lives and a hell of a team of lawyers.

But the truth is she will never be the female lead again. 

BS will continue to be a supporting character like the newbies. And, like the newbies, function best in a B (or C) storyline that ultimately supports the leads - Oliver, Felicity and Diggle.

I know there are many who are frustrated BS is still around. I know any version of this character drives you up the wall. If there are those who enjoy the character then great! For those who don’t, you can always fast forward. But her impact is null and void for me. Would it be better if her screen time went to other characters? Absolutely, but I’m not wasting my energy stressing about it. My apathy is a peaceful place.

The upside for me is the writers are never shy about directing snark at BS, which gives me a free pass to be equally as snarky in my reviews. And that’s nifty.

CHARACTER THESIS Q&A (JENNIE EDITION: LET ME)

to him: when i make promises, they’re never empty. i’d rather die than break one. you might not remember many of them, but one that’s upheld without the need to be mentioned constantly is my loyalty. i know that you know... that i know...! my decisive and firm choices in life, including the stupid and doubtful, have led me to you. i take it as a sign that regardless of what they initially were, i’ve made the right ones and i won’t take this for granted. i promise. you awakened something in me that i long ago believed was null, ignited pleasures in me that i can’t quiet down; pleasures of the mind, pleasures of the body, pleasures of the heart.

someone told me before that if they felt the same for me, that if we were to be, it would have happened already. so i told myself over and over that i’ll never ever again buy into this—as i saw it—crap. it’s because of this scar from the past that a part of me still probably resents that i had to wait, because i was expecting for someone to do it for me this time around. i think, one way or another, i’ll always be insecure that anyone i’ve truly felt for never had to struggle chasing for me. it’s my fault for making it easy, but it would have gone against my beliefs otherwise... i wouldn’t have wished it for another person, especially if they’re someone as important as you turned out to be. basically, if that person is you...

i would question myself before whether i should have taken up on other offers but to pair up with someone with the thought that i can learn in time, hope to fall later on, but it's too big a leap of faith i cannot take. i know everyone of us has our own unique thresholds for what we believe being "in love" means. we should abide by our personal thresholds and put faith in them. but i still wonder if for you falling and staying in love is without choice and reason, like the way i experience it.

this... is just one of the many things i keep pestering you about. i keep nudging you for answers over and over for probably the same questions that’s just worded differently, and i feel sorry because i have an insatiable appetite that requires a lot of patience. i hate to put all this pressure on you. it’s a conflicting feeling of wanting to selfishly keep you who’s been so accommodating and understanding between letting you run free without shouldering my uncertainties. but nothing is ever just black and white. just... this big but organized confusion (that we get to share, heh). and it's why it also amazes me how you see no wrong in me. how? it's common knowledge that we're our own worst critics. it might be that i see all these flaws in me that you don’t but... i still don't understand. even if you think there’s only a few, you... overlook all of them? is that a good thing? if it is, it seems too good to be true. is there really absolutely nothing about me that you dislike? if this is true, then does that mean you feel stronger than i do? i refuse to believe so, pfft. 

i think i'll always have this self-doubt within me, no matter how much pride and confidence i show on the outside. but all my worries and my inhibitions, it’s exactly how you said; you kiss them all away, persistently so. you breathe fresh air into the healing process, better than emotional freedom techniques would have. please don’t get tired... i’ll keep trying my best to... well, stay the way that i am, as per your request.

about names, possessions, and everything i have never admitted to anyone: a playground full of children with heroic names and not one of them had earned even a syllable. they grew up to be just as unworthy, feeling entitled from their historical ties and becoming arrogant. they paid lip-service only to the idea of service, and the highest honor being that of serving the community. there is something to be said for growing into a name. at birth, we should all be named after things of nature. flower, sky, river... something that shows what we are in our beginnings, where we come from, not a thing separate. when we show our metal, that we have grit and spirit to do right and bear greatness, then we should be given a name that symbolizes that. then maybe our names will mean something more than just the whim of our times, the fashion of an era, or the aspirations of our parents.

i've earned mine and shaped it to what meaning it holds now. i’m the girl you’ve always heard about; the girl you hear about even more now. it’s why i sing, watch your mouth when you speak my name. how many can say the same for themselves?

i've been driven mad from giving deep meaning, investing emotions and memories in my possessions. to me they have always been what represents my extended self, what provides my sense of past and what tells me who i am, where i've come from, and where i'm going. they are repositories of myself. you, you, and you; you’re all mine. i’m selfish. i can’t have it any other way. it’s hard to just let go. i'd hate for anyone to have dominion over me. why can’t i reciprocate? why can’t i not reciprocate? i’m fire and i need space to burn. fan the flames and let me.

a toast for me right now and for my little secret; the one that i can't let out but can't hardly hold in; the one i can't tell anyone, but want to tell everybody; the one that i'll carry forever, but its weight crushes me. reminders to self: if you don’t want people guessing, don’t give out hints. if you don’t want questions asked, don’t say a word.

to angels: is there really a council standing guard over the big guy in the sky? do you speak of harmony and love? peace and simple joys? ways to live without greed and misery? i don't care about the future. i'd rather find it out for myself, when the right time comes. tell me what i need to know...

questions to death: i don’t even want anything to do with you. it makes me curious when you’ll take me, because i want to know how much time i have. how much is there for me to work with. how long will it take for me to be able to win the legacy that i keep promising myself? i have these questions... but i don’t really want to hear the answer. not yet, at least. i’ll come back for them in a few more decades, in case the science people’s hunches or the prophecies way back from ancient times don’t come true.

to her: with anyone else, i am a lioness. with you, i'm a rabbit. or maybe a chinchilla. anything tiny; anything you can hold within your palms. one look from you and the fight leaves my body. you see me for who i am inside, quell the inferno, transform it to passion for life, career, and even nature. with you my soul is at rest. with you it's content. i love you like a brother, respect you like no other; our spirits kindred. i could no more abandon you than my own child... in the future! it's like you tell my panic to shut up. i don't know how you do it, and i don't need to. knowing that you can, and so effortlessly, is enough.

you aren't simply a good friend. you have become part of my soul. when life became a storm, you were the boat that kept the briny water from entering my lungs. you were love when i needed it and i thank you with all that i am. the storm isn't over. it never will be; the winds rage, seek to crush what they can never be. i have to know my own strength, test it, find truth and liberty, to realize that there is no prison that can hold me. only then will i know that i am doing what i choose to do, that my own love is a choice and that it is a gift to give. at times, i'd have to walk alone and you have to let me but a part of my light stays with you, as part of yours leaves with me, for we are kindred as i told you, twin souls. i will return, and sooner than you might think, with new strength to my legs, to my bones, strong enough to carry you. heaven and prison can't be the same thing, and we'll keep on looking, together.

questions to the body: we're in abundance. not in a typical sort of way. i'm in the shape that i'm confident in. i treat you well. not just you, but also your other half. you may not be able to support me the way the world prefers you did but i take an exception to you. you serve me well, and i've listened to you and adhered to what works best for you. i've been given an intimate awareness that i've never really felt before and because of that i'm happy. i have a wonderful relationship with myself that i can spend a lifetime cultivating. 

but things aren't always perfect. especially for me, they never are. everybody has those inner critics that really inhibit them and act as an obstacle to fulfillment and happiness. i sometimes seek shelter outside my own body. what stranger has my soul become? 

to the heart: i realize now, it’s love that makes you so strong.
