#i need this feeling injected into my veins

[anthonyhavers-left-foot]

English classes are so fun. I love writing stories. I love reading plays. I love reading poetry. I love getting attached to characters and authors. I love feeling like I am in the story or poem with them. I love expressing my emotions. I love weaving my life into the pages. I love pouring my entire being into a story, and I love it when others do the same

it's weird that you don't call out to jun when he comes into your apartment. jun knows that you know he was coming over at some point to spend time with you, and usually you greet him in some way when you hear the apartment door unlock. he's a little earlier than he planned, but you told him to 'come over whenever' and now he's a little worried that you didn't mean it. he quietly slips into the pair of slippers that stays here at your place, and makes his way further into your apartment to set down the bag of groceries he brought on your kitchen counter. your bedroom door is open, but the tiny room you use as a home office is open just a sliver.

he makes his way over, leaning in to listen for a moment... only to hear your voice. there's a little strain to it as you struggle through a sentence, and it clicks all at once: you're speaking chinese. albeit not very well (it's clear to jun that this is one-hundred percent new to you), but you're still trying. your pronunciation is a bit clumsy, but he can hear the way you try to use the right tone with what you're saying...

when did you start learning this much? jun had taught you little things in the past--the absolute basics, really, plus a few other little phrases that veer into his own cheesy need to hear you say sweet things--but this...? he steps back from the door. why hadn't you told him? you could have told him and he'd happily help you learn. but he trusts you: you must have your reasons to keep this a secret, so he won't push. he steps away, deciding to busy himself with getting ingredients put away--or set up for the two of you to cook together, in case you're hungry now.

then he knocks a cup into the sink, and immediately he hears you coming out of your office. relief crosses your face when you see it's just jun, and you lean against the open doorway.

"i didn't know you were here." you pause, and then he sees you get hit with realization. "... how long were you here?"

"i just got here," he says. it's technically the truth, isn't it? he's only been here for a few minutes. "were you working?"

you nod. "yeah. just had to answer a phone call," you lie to him, but he just nods and acts like he doesn't know that. you come up to his side, wrapping an arm around him. "is this for lunch?"

he leans over to you and presses a kiss against your cheek. "are you hungry?"

"mhm," you just snuggle in for a moment, enjoying his presence. "you should teach me more recipes you learned from your mom sometime."

jun finds himself smiling already. was that what this all was...? an attempt for you to understand him better? to show that you care for him so much that you want to know his culture, too? "i'd love to," he says softly, and wraps an arm around you to tug you closer to his side. "only if you teach me things you learned from your family, too."

then he'll make more efforts to understand you and your background, too. just to show you that he loves you as much as you love him.

the green creek novels have so much franchise potential. we've already got the books. it could make a killer HBO anthology series, a season (or two because they're so long) focusing on each book. there could be video games where you play as the pack. the merchandise? little stone wolves, wooden ravens, stick on tattoos, work shirts, costume contact lenses.

we could have everything.

My life has been an absolute hellscape for way too long and I was worried about Young Royals releasing its final season right in the middle of it all. Honestly it was risky for me to watch it right now, not knowing what waited on the other side. I can’t afford an additional spell of despair on top of everything else right now 🥲

But this has been my favorite show and it remains my favorite show. Easily. It has been such a comfort for me during this time and I really don’t know where I would be without it right now. I was so worried I’d be too stressed to even enjoy the last new episodes there will ever be… or the story would just tank and disappoint me in the end like some other shows have that I’ve held close to my heart and then it would just make me feel even worse.

But what a beautiful show.

What an earned and deserved ending for every single one of the main characters. It was better than anything I’d ever realistically hoped for. (It was actually just a lot of me yelling and arguing with my screen and then So Many Tears 😭)

It is so rare to find a show like this, that is just incredible to watch from start to finish (heck, it’s rare to even get a show these days that even has a proper conclusion or otherwise doesn’t get dragged on for too long until it’s not even enjoyable to watch anymore).

I’m so glad I got to be there for its conclusion and experience it on the last day before our internet service gets cut off before our move. The timing is actually crazy for it all to have played out like this considering I didn’t plan it that way and I really needed this show to not let me down during *gestures at literally everything in my life*

Thank you to everyone involved in bringing the story, world, and characters of Young Royals to life. I’m sad I have no new episodes to look forward to now, but the show did what it needed to do and told such an incredible, heartbreaking, but beautiful and fulfilling story that, for me, will always be worth revisiting over and over again 💜

you're really telling me last night my tiny baby underground indie artist of a global superstar sang on her little acoustic guitar "i'll be strong, i'll be wrong / oh but life goes on ... i'm just a girl / trying to find a place in this world" to a sold out crowd of 70,000 adoring people who love her and support her and want the best for her and i wasn't there and i have to SOMEHOW EXIST LIKE A NORMAL PERSON TODAY??????????????

Listening to the Final Fantasy XIV Heavensward soundtrack and beating my desk with my fists, screaming, crying, going insane, tearing my beating heart out of its ribcage and slamming that on the desk as well

if money and societal approval and professionalism etc weren't factors, what would your fashion style be like?

I would dress SO FANCY. ALL THE TIME. I wanna look like a richass socialite who's hardest task of the day is deciding what jewelry to to pair with my fancy (yet still eminently comfortable) gown. I will roll right up to mcdonalds right now in a ballgown if somebody will let me.
