I know I'm a wholeass adult with a house and a law degree and whatever but sometimes I decide its time to not cook and I get out the little sandwich press and turn a whole bag of bread into PBnJ uncrustables and honestly it's great

What do you like about the Diasomnia boys if I may ask?

I always love hearing about the different reasons people enjoy characters.

I mean, c'mon. he has split custody over Sebek okay

also, Lilia in particular has maybe the best timeskip character development of all time

the problem is that being single is seen as the consolidation prize, and not the natural neutral state of being-a-person. at the end of the movie or the book or the poetry, there is a person waiting for you at the altar, and they love you. if the play is a comedy, everyone gets married. the metaphor is about how you are not-whole. the metaphor is about how everyone is going to be happily-ever-after. the metaphor is that romantic love is the most important resource on the planet, not just all-love. all-love is not a thing, that is a disappointment. the treasure is not the friends we made along the way. the treasure is the girl you landed.

the metaphor is that you cannot be alone, that means you are broken. are you getting over someone? that is acceptable, you can be getting over someone, but not for long. you must be single because you would rather not be single. you must be single and looking to not-be-single. you must want to date, eventually.

friendship and community are never seen as being equal-to or even-better than romantic connection. that person is your one! you need to find them. you need to hunt through the sand particles until you can shift out some kind of gem. this is regardless to your own experience of the beach and the sun. you need to be somewhere with someone.

if you are taking this time alone to heal, that is so sad. everyone gives you this little pitying look. the understanding is that you are not actually happier than you were before you were single. it is seen as a sort of pity - oh, you are choosing yourself, making yourself the priority? - that isn't quite right. you must mean that you are making yourself ready for the right person. you are just laying the bed better this time. open up your heart. you'll find them, we promise!

what do you mean you're really-truly genuinely-very happy? you are probably misremembering what it was like to be in a relationship. and besides, once you meet your person, that time will look grey and bland and wasted. your person is the only way for you to see in color. so what if you have taken this time - for the first time in your entire life - to actually-for-real do the fucking work. you can be proud of yourself, sure. but the way we need to know that you got better is that you get a partner. you're healed enough for the next bad part!

people don't choose to be single, they just say they're choosing to be single - they actually mean "nobody wants to date me." it doesn't matter how many people you have gently rejected or how many times you've talked it over carefully in therapy. what matters is that you are single, and by all accounts - that means you are something worth our pity. your successes and life all seem pale in the sunlight. sure, you have done amazing things and finally found your way in life. what matters is that there wasn't a person in the room with you while you did it.

you want to tell them - that's the whole thing. i didn't know how to be alone in the room. i didn't know how to handle the silence. every moment was so sharp, and i kept choosing the wrong way to close the door. i have spent my entire life in the empty well, living in the ricochet of someone else's cruelty. for once i have built myself a ladder. for once everything i taste is all mine, every bite of sunshine and laughter. i have learned how to sleep out in the open with my memories. recently, they have started to purr.

your father rolls his eyes. listen. this isn't about you. i just want a grandchild in my future.

Imagine an AU where instead of dying he turns into 3 mini versions of himself (the individual kids he's made up of)

And Matthew(?) I think is his name, finds you first, and tries to apologize like, "I'm so sorry... what happened was wrong. You can punish me for it if you want, but please help me find the other two. They don't deserve to be out there alone..." and then it's just the player becoming a single parent of 3 pieces of dough

toji is such a forehead kisser. when he comes home and you’re napping he leans over, pushes the hair out of your face, and leaves a soft kiss against your skin. when you’re in line for something with him, passing the time tucked into his side scrolling on your phones, he absentmindedly just turns to place a quick kiss to your temple. he doesn’t even notice he does it, it’s just second nature to him at this point.

sometimes, when either your insecurities are preventing you from being outspoken with him or you’re arguing and decide to give him the silent treatment, he’ll just fully grab your head and pull you to his lips. he’s not the best with words, and kissing you outright just doesn’t get his message across. he wants to get the meaning directly to your brain and quiet all of the other thoughts. with his palms on either side of your head, fingers threading through your hair, and your body entirely surrounded by his, you find his method effective. toji’s presence is all consuming. his scent familiar, his grip comforting— in the moments where you two connect like this, you have no choice but to ease and feel his affection wrap around you, grounding your mind and soul.
