#i was a revelation

[a-shakespearean-in-paris]

wip wednesday

thanks for the tag @agentkatie! writing pure, unadulterated smut is going to cure my dour mood, but first of course we need some buildup:

“You shouldn’t say such things. It does me no good. It makes me believe what isn’t true.”

“Remember when you said you didn’t want to hurt me?” she asked suddenly, grasping his hand harder. “You hurt me when you say such things.”

“Roselle—”

“No one says my name like you do.” It was softer, like he wanted to cloak her name and keep it close at hand to whisper deep into the night.

“There’s no one like me.”

 “Gale. Take me in your arms in the morning and make me your lover.”

All cockiness was gone and he was back again, an unmoving pillar. “I will not hurt you,” he said, and she couldn’t let go of him. Not then, or ever.

“Then don’t look at me like I’m a revelation.”

“But you are. And so much more.”

do you ever see a person and you are overcome with incredible fondness? and you just think "oh." but not in a romantic or sexual way you are just filled with warmth and it makes you happy, it just does. and you think "i'm so happy you exist. i'm happy you are somewhere out there in the world, doing your thing". it's love but also not entirely

like people are lovely and i feel it in my entire chest like a burning candle that smells like roses and a sunny day

The Four Discoursemen

[stuckinapril]

lived my whole life in guilt bc i thought i was responsible for people's feelings. newly realizing that other people are responsible for their feelings and reactions, even if they make it seem like i'm the problem. a lot of the time it really has to do w them and their own emotional regulation. i can't keep thinking i'm not allowed to have space bc of other people's insecurities. like i literally refuse to dim myself. other people are responsible for their feelings just as i'm responsible for mine.

Tears

HEY DID YOU GUYS NOTICE MEGATRONS TEARS IN THE LAST SCENE OF TFONE???

[demigods-posts]

just had the biggest revelation that when the oracle prophesized "to storm or fire, the world must fall". the weight of this line equally distributed across the four boys. because frank's lifeline was tied to a stick that if burned to ashes would kill him. because percy, son of the stormbringer, nearly ended his life by willingly suffocating in poison. because leo, pyrokenetic, sacrificed himself and paid for it with his life to fulfill the prophecy. because jason, son of jupiter (god of the sky, thunder, lightning, etc), died in place of leo upon his resurrection. what a truly haunting cruel twist of fate.

astarion’s “i’ve almost forgotten how much color there is in the world” line is so infinitely more heartbreaking when you realize he’s an elf- which means by dnd/baldurs gate rules he has darkvision

darkvision, which allows certain character races to see in the dark but only in shades of gray

this man quite literally has been living almost 200 years in complete colorless darkness or at the very least with a very limited visualization and only just now is able to see a full spectrum of color….

personal observations made by a new cane user:

you do not need to be in constant pain to own a cane.

folding canes have a clasp or band to keep them folded. losing the band is a pain in the ass.

you will get dirty looks

it does not matter what age you are. you will get dirty looks.

you have to hold it in the opposite hand as the disabled leg. this is fortunate, as I am right handed, so i hold it in my left hand to support my right leg.

people will try to steal your cane from you.

when standing still, I hold it in my right hand unless i need to do something right handedly. this does not work as well as i thought it would.

being visibly physically disabled is difficult. having a mobility aid will help with pain and movement, but some people don't get them because visible disability is treated with disgust.

if someone meets you for the first time, and you don't have your cane, then they will like you more, but they will not believe you are actually disabled.

if someone meets you for the first time, and you have your cane, they will not treat you the same.

the majority of other cane and mobility aid users I have met are homeless. I live close to a big city.

People do not want to see you being disabled.

you will not hear of the benefits of using a cane from anyone who does not use a cane.

no one will prepare you for the world of being visibly physically disabled. however bad you think we have it is usually not from the disability at all. I can deal with pain and I can deal with an indisposed left hand.

the hardest part of being disabled is the fact that no one will care until you make them care.

the disabled seats on trains are a suggestion

the disabled seats on buses are a suggestion.

you will have a different experience with using a cane than I have had.

your hand will become tired. you are using it as a leg.

your cane is legally a part of your body. this will not stop some people.

you are not your disability. but it will affect you.

i love you

theres always an invisible someone who has it worse. that person will not be affected or offended by your use of a cane. take the damn ibuprofen. put the folded cane in your bag. ask your friends for help. gd knows they need help sometimes too.

you will have to learn that things will be impossible to you. you may not run as fast anymore. you may not become a skater, like you always wanted to be. you may be left behind when everyone else runs ahead.

you deserve better.

your cane handle gets dirty. wash it.

some days pain is worse. some days you will feel it the moment you wake up.

no one deserves pain. the human condition is not to suffer. we deserve better. we deserve to be loved and not tolerated. we deserve to be seen better than from the corners of eyes. we deserve to be heard better than an afterthought at a meeting.

be quick to care for yourself. I love you.

Just curious: for that Viceroy AU, is there a possibility of Mayura making an appearance?
