Lust has wandering eyes. For the one in love, the gaze is fixed...

Well, I almost managed to put it off for a full 15 years, and it took me almost five months to actually play but

Eventually all things must end, including my time with Kyle Hyde, and, by the light of the Christmas tree, I finished Last Window: Secrets of Cape West and the accompanying novel.

I have a lot of thoughts that I’ll eventually gather and throw in the queue but right now I just have feelings.

If you’ve been following me long enough you will know I will go to truly absurd lengths to avoid finishing a game if I don’t want to. I am truly an artist of bullshit. And I really didn’t want to finish this game because… I can’t explain to you what Kyle means to me. Meant to me. I don’t know. But I knew if I read the last page and closed the book then I would have to say goodbye. There would be nothing left to his story.

And I’ll admit, I’m feeling a little unmoored. But I know now more about what made Kyle into the man I loved when I was a child, the one who was the hero I needed growing up in an unstable environment and I didn’t have a strong father figure who loved me in the way I needed. And love’s never lost when perspective is earned.

So, goodbye, Kyle Hyde. Goodbye, Rachel and Ed. Goodbye, Red Crown. Goodbye, Mila. Goodbye, Bradley. Goodbye, Chris and Jeanie. Goodbye to the Cape West apartments and to the Hotel Dusk and to everyone at both.

But the woman who sits at the window has, finally, turned out the light.

Settled

A Poly Marauders Fluff and Smut Fic. For @krethes ❤️❤️❤️

Lily loves these moments, the stolen glances she gets when they are soft together and don’t know they’re being watched. The three of them are so completely, so inextricably linked that nothing could rip them apart, not even if they tried.

It took her a while to realize that she is part of this and not an interloper intruding—even when it was just her with James and him with Remus and Sirius, too—that they love her like an extension of them. Lily is so grateful for the way they’ve allowed her to be part of their lives. Now she couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.

~*~

Lily loves all three of her boys, and they've made a lovely life together. Only, things aren't quite completely settled yet.

Read it here on AO3.

Sir William stayed only a week at Hunsford, but his visit was long enough to convince him of his daughter's being most comfortably settled, and of her possessing such a husband and such a neighbour as were not often met with.

Doodle from a while ago

An au version of Settled, but mostly just an excuse to doodle them just unhinged. It did end up fitting with a few new details of a timeline branch where their brother joins the villain they were fighting as kids instead of the encounter just making their relationship a bit iffy, in the end so I worked out :D

I have made it to my host home. I am so thankful to my host family. It's so hard to contain my excitement. There is so much I want to learn, say, and experience, I'm practically bursting.

They insisted I rest :)

Still need to get a sim card but I have wifi.

I want to say, thank you to everyone who made this possible and provided for me to be able to be here. I can't wait to share the stories.

Settled.

I've been talking about this feeling of being settled. Or I guess the lack there of that I'm experiencing. Since this is anonymous and Im 100% sure nobody will read this (thank god lowk) I want to explain why I feel so unsettled.

I don't have very many friends at the moment and part of that is my own doing. Actually most of it is my own doing. Well hold on I had friends at the beginning of the semester but then they totally fucked me over and so I dropped them. I guess why I'm saying that it's my own doing is because if I really wanted friends I could've just accepted their lame as apology and moved on like nothing ever happened. but I've dealt with toooooo many assholes in my life to deal with them again at our big age. I never stood up for myself in the past and I owed it to her to do this for me. But because of that, I've rediscovered that because I had a friend group, I forgot to make other friends outside of the friend group and when I got dumped on the curb I felt a little stranded. It's okay, shit happens I guess.

I'm very isolated. Besides from having like 1 real good friend and a bunch of other friends who I definitely talk to often but don't regularly hang out with or consider best friends, I really only got me. I also, am studying abroad on an insanely small campus with a whopping 150 students. yeah. Everyone is everywhere and it makes me want to just become a fly on the wall. You know how in school there are people you know but you don't always say hi to them but it's okay because you can just avoid them in the sea of other people around you. Well that's literally everyone here. There is no sea, this is a very small fishtanks.

Like I said, I'm abroad and granted I've been here for over three months now but I'm at this weird point where I'm about to go home (9 days btw) but I also really like it here. I don't want to leave and just be stripped of this lifestyle that I've adapted so well to. Partying every weekend, going to different countries every weekend, being in Europe, having tiny breakfasts, paying nothing for everything, living in an insanely beautiful architurally (idk if that's a word) developed city. I can't do it. I am going back to New York if that softens the blow at all, but I'm also going back to Trump, over bearing parents, a legal drinking age that I am not at yet, high food prices, and nowhere to go on the weekends. You know I actually looked up how much it would cost to go somewhere on the weekend from New York or Chicago just for funnies? Never gonna fucking happen.

My last and final reason is that nobody seems to look at life the way I do. Or maybe they do and I just don't realize it. Maybe there is someone out there who is a complete freak and sits in their bed writing a Tumblr blog ranting about things she can't really control. I don't know. I've been having this problem where I judge people really hard based on how I perceive them. I've come to the conclusion that people my age are just really surface level. I mean they don't really have interests they are just robotic and wear whatever clothes they see their favorite influencer wearing, and only make chronically online jokes but not even the funny ones, and they all look like each other. Their #1 artist on Spotify was probably Taylor Swift or fucking Gracie Abrams or something but you know what, they probably feel settled so, so be it.
