It’s October and nine years have passed. I say it’s dark, it’s cold, it’s a season of grief. I don’t know what I’m missing, don’t know what it means. I can’t imagine a life with you here. You’re something I feel, not someone I know; the hum of the house and nobody’s home. I don’t mean to be cruel, I don’t want to forget you. I don’t want to see you in the lawn decor.

Still, the weather gets cold and you’re a creak in the knee. I’m sorry you’re a talking point, sorry you’re a myth. I miss you and I missed you. It’s all in the mist.

Dad!Hasan who is always ready to hype his kids up when they hit milestones in their lives. Anything from mastering a skill to kissing someone else for the first time to wanting to check out collages, he's their biggest cheerleader and is willing to give out any advice he can that the kids will listen to.

Dad!Ludwig who is undeniably the fun parent. His son wants to stay up after bedtime while you're away on a business trip? That okay, as long he's not on a screen, Lud would absolutely let him stay up. They'll draw or build Legos or he'll play a game and let his son watch (I mean technically the young boy isn't playing therefore he's good, right?)

Dad!Wilbur whose always willing to encourage his daughter when she starts collecting things. Postcards from places she visits with her parents? Okay, he'll make sure to stop at every town and take her to pick out her favorite card, or two or three. She's interested in rocks? They go out at least once a week to go and look for different rock to tumble and add to her little collection.

@thatscarletflycatcher @brambleberrycottage I would love to talk more about Cranford, but I've been having trouble coming up with anything more eloquent than "it's Good." Because it IS.

I'm really glad it seemed to be a hit with our book club (mainly composed of my family + one other). Multiple people mentioned specifically that for a while they felt like it wasn't going anywhere in particular (which was fine) but then it DID! I think everyone, rightfully, loved Miss Matty. There were also a lot of laughs about the funny parts of the book, especially the hosting/manners-related humor.

Personally I had a pretty good idea of the book's virtues going in (which may be why I had a hard time coming up with commentary - you guys know all this already! I heard it here first! :P). But I loved the pathos and the humor and... really, the tenderness for little, quiet lives, that can acknowledge their ridiculousness and obscurity and seeming futility but still paint them with love and dignity.

The quiet tragedies are heartbreaking - but so are the kindnesses. These ladies are all absurd sometimes - because they're human. It's just. It's very much about human dignity and goodness and the worth of every human life even at its pettiest.

just remembered a wip i had which was jay at uni meeting normal people and desperately trying to act cool and normal whilst internally screaming about being in a whole new place with all new people and not having his gang with him

the bad: i have been raised without much warmth from my parents in childhood, but also pressured to conform to familial authority, doubt myself always, and value familial connections above all else (<- failed at this, and feel guilt about it.)

but also in experiencing this i have been so isolated from the entire rest of the world and others, that it will be nearly impossible to create my own "family" -> find safety and comfort in anybody else once my family is Gone. despite dis i find it really difficult to break away from the familiar, disobey and disappoint, because, well, why are my wishes more important than anybody else's. why would I cause upset and distress in anybody, and exert so much effort into my doubt filled half decisions, for my meaningless little Wishes. being away would also mean less time with these people who I'll never see again once they're gone. being raised this way is definitely paying off for those who did so.

the good: yaaaay adjacent inspiration for writing talon lore

still thinking of the hospital scene near the end of move to heaven where geu-ru starts to let slip how much he has been affected by jeong-woo's death. it's been evident before this point, but never more than glimpses. stuff like him refusing to let his uncle use any of his dad's things. he also sometimes provides insight about how he relates to clients, but in a way that gives off an impression that he's sad, but that he's coping. when in actuality, he really isn't.

he hasn't even tidied out his dad's room, just left it untouched. he's been avoiding calls and texts regarding his father's ashes for weeks. han geu-ru is a trauma cleaner. he helps other people move on with the deaths of their loved ones, but he hasn't allowed himself to process.

anyway, it's the dialogue that really hits for me. when geu-ru asks his uncle to be honest with him, because his dad wasn't, and he can't face that again. and san-gu says that jeong-woo lied to geu-ru about being fine because he loved him. so geu-ru doesn't to worry about sang-gu lying because he doesn't love him as much as jeong-woo did anyway. it's half-joking, because at this point we know sang-gu clearly does care for his nephew. but that doesn't matter to geu-ru.

geu-ru says, "don't love me". he says, "don't hide anything from me".

geu-ru knew his dad loved him. his dad made sure he knew it every single day and geu-ru appreciated that dearly. but he would rather his uncle not love him if it means he doesn't have to lose him too.

Grief is such a wild son of a bitch. It can be the most random thing that will unlock a memory, and then you find yourself standing in the middle of the kitchen while the microwave constantly beeps. Tears run down your face, replaying that memory and wishing you could hug them again.

The only thing that breaks your suspended moment in time is your son walking in panicking from seeing you crying

secret good spn that exists in my head is where Chuck decides he wants to throw himself into the middle of the Lucifer vs TFW custody battle over Jack. he’s about to be the best grandpa of all time. he’s about to make sure that jack loves him most and will come with him willingly while his other potential father figures are tearing each other apart. he’s going to make sure that his second shot at raising a lucifer who can’t disobey him goes right <3
