#solitary places

I have always, essentially, been waiting. Waiting to become something else, waiting to be that person I always thought I was on the verge of becoming, waiting for that life I thought I would have. In my head, I was always one step away... John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” For me, life is what was happening while I was busy waiting for my big moment...

Scoria and Sakura are best friends! It's so cute when I see the things they do together, and it makes me so beyond happy that they both came to live with me so that they could share their lives with each other. They absolutely insist on it, and does so much good for the other.

I can't imagine how else they could have found happiness if things hadn't worked out exactly as they did. Scoria has basically been Sakura's "emotional support snake" while she worked through things from her past I'll never fully know that caused her a lot of issues with panic and fear. Sakura knows this too, and looks out for her sister, the only one she truly trusts and feels completely safe with.

The moment they wake up they both want each other to snuggle and play with. Scoria loves to be affectionate with both me and her sister who seems to have not had this earlier in her life- but Scoria is showing her how nice it is not only directly but demonstrating with me and Sakura also trying, copying what she has seen her sister do.

Sometimes when one goes to check on the other they'll join in on... I'm not even sure what they were doing. But they had a good time while taking a mandated union break from digging tunnels for the isopods.

So happy I get to share in the adventures of these two best friends! It makes me so happy to see them living their best lives together, and being beyond content snuggled together with their found family.

Very early post Void Color probably just mindlessly walked in circles while waiting for his doctor or nurse to give him his meds and food. Like in this video.

I also have a feeling that just about every single noise was too much and started annoying the fuck out of him once he managed to get past the panic attacks.

If you breathed too loudly around him, this malnourished fuck would give you a death glare and a sneer like he wished you would stop breathing.

The only reason he probably didn’t tell anyone to shut up for a while is because the sound of his own voice unnerved and made him uncomfortable, and talking only seemed to make his never ending exhaustion worse—but he would definitely make it obvious what he was thinking.

He’d probably get into a lot of arguments and fights with other patients, too, if he weren’t always so exhausted all the time to even say anything most days.

I’d imagine that sometimes he just forgot he was out of the Void at all—as if that information just slipped out between the cracks of his mind. I wonder if they’d assign him a “body buddy” to help him with these moments.

tbh i think i am proud of myself for how i did handle the retraumatizing experience of solitary confinement. bc right after i got out i actually went to my roommates at the time and said "okay so i hadn't talked with you about this before but i was in long term solitary confinement when i was younger and it really, really fucked with my head. Being in solitary yesterday, even for a shorter amount of time, is bringing up all this stuff. i feel insane right now and i don't want to be alone for the forseeable future" and actually like. communicated that instead of pretending everything was normal and fine. and then that allowed me to get a lot of the support i needed and we moved a mattress into one of my roommates rooms and i slept in their room for three weeks. and then i did all the things i knew i would need to do like going outside every day and sleeping with music on and decorating my new room and affirmations and giving myself a LOT of grace when it came to the types of coping mechanisms that felt accessible and easy.

idk sometimes i forget how much work i've put in during the past four years to get to a place where my life is more liveable and i have a lot more options for how to cope and ways to take care of myself that when i was 18 i just did not have any of that. and i am really proud that like, i've gotten to a point with a lot more of these things that my first thought a lot of the time isn't "i have no idea what to do and it's hopeless" but it is usually more like "this is really hard and im so fucking angry and everything hurts AND i know i have things i can try that might help and i know this is liveable."

idk lots of rambling today!

the problem is that love eventually requires forgiving people for transgressions you would never accept from anyone else

I’d imagine fresh out the Void human Color would’ve had ridiculously long hair, like a lot longer than even Jinx’s from Arcane.

Just..a lot less upkept or clean, due to his conditions and lack of access to the means to care of his health, hygiene, and body.

ok suddenly wondering something: do you have friends in your dreams? As in, when you are dreaming are you alone (even if surrounded by people/strangers) or do you do things with friends?
