#thankyou to those who have made me cry

[samara444]

dont let all your pain go to waste

our life is not set in stone, it has been hard till now, so so so fucking hard. it doesnt have to be hard from now on. you have spent years crying, wishing, waiting, wanting, losing. but you do have a choice, by changing your assumptions, your beliefs, our feelings, you really can switch to having, loving, smiling, laughing, living.

it is possible for you IF YOU BELIEVE it is possible for you. dont let your bruised knees, and swollen wet eyes go to waste. dont let the years of crying, wanting, feeling lack, years when you tried so hard, when you persisted and never gave up....dont let those years go to waste.

your future self will be so fucking proud that you never gave up. that you never lost hope. im literally crying while writing this, but every time things that get hard, i am just reminded of little me who had so many hopes and dreams and how its my duty to fulfill her dreams.

how i cannot let the pain of little teenage me who persisted everyday, despite the worst circumstances. who affirmed, who forced herself to believe, who tried her best at that time, i cant let her pain go to waste. I WONT.

im sure most of us have spent a long time in our misery. but it DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. we have changed. as long as we dont give up. as long as you dont give up. all those hours, all those tears will be worth it.

and one day we are going to open our eyes, to our dream life, that little us would be so proud of, and you will be so proud that day, that no matter what happened, you persisted. you didnt give in to the 3d. the 3d is just a mirror that has NO WILL OF ITS OWN. it hasss to conform.

so keep going. you are doing great honey. you already are there. the day when you get to be happy, has finally come now. relax. breathe in. hold. breathe out. everything is going to be okay. and we have made it. and everything worked out just the way it was supposed to.

we did it. no more pain. no more regrets. just happiness and light. love and sunshine. laughter and love. now YOU can thank your past self and tell her - thankyou baby for always believing <3

-love, sam :')

@littlebodybigheart: After two intense months, the first crybaby tour is officially done. A big thank you to the beautiful bbies who attended each show. I really love you guys and I'm so thankful for your support and luv 💘

Thank you to @handsomestghost for opening this tour. I had so much fun hanging with you guys and getting to know each of you. Thank you for blessing our ears with your sweet music every night. 👼🏼👼🏻👼🏽 Thank you to my talented angel bby @itsstellarose for working your *ss off to make these outfits. I love you and your brain and I'm so excited for all the sick sh*t were gonna do together. 💫🍧🍥🌟 the biggest thank you to my tour family

Rexthetriangle @milesnasta @connorjsully 💕

Thank you boys for putting up with my sh*t and for killing it every single time. It's been a hard two months, but it definitely has made us a stronger family. We all had our moments and I definitely had more than usual... But I can't imagine doing what we just did with anyone else. I love you boys with all my heart and I can't wait to continue this journey with you guys. Huge thankyou as well to @michaelkeenan @maddiecarina & @aliencandies For coming on the road and making me feel so filled with love. It was definitely really rough times for me. I'm really thankful for all of your laughs and hugs when I was feeling alone, and when I spend those nights crying hysterically in the bathroom. It feels really good to have people in your life who you'd do anything for and you know would do the same for you. When things got dark you guys were my night light. Thank you so much. 💕💌💌💌💌💌

[valar-did-me-wrong]

Sauron will get Adar's sword and Morgoth's crown, but Galadriel already has Nenya on when she attacks Sauron (shown in bts segment), so... maybe an injured Adar will give the ring back to Galadriel who will choose... to heal him, guided by Nenya?

Maybe Adar will wear the ring as a necklace, hidden, like Elrond did... which could explain why Sauron doesn't get it...

Galadriel saw Adar cry, it has to mean something. Maybe she sees how Nenya can heal even a corrupted Elf, which could give her more courage to face Sauron if she wears Nenya? 🥺

Thankyou for this ask!!

(Interestingly I was gonna post about Adar's fate today anyway after just now learning something about JD & Patrick that has made me believe Adar might actually live this season after all so I'll add that theory of mine to this answer too!)

But 1st, I had not noticed Adar's sword in Sauron's hand so omgggggg this is hugeeee!! And to add Galadriel with Nenya in this scenario, it can mean so many things!!

Adar can give her the ring on his own after loosing the crown & his sword to sauron

She could take those off him in a separate clash right before her & Sauron's meeting

Sauron can take it from him when he takes his sword and crown then give it to Galadriel as a manipulation move

In almost all cases, it seems Adar's in for a loosing battle & boy am I worried AF for our daddy & his identity crisis!!

But I just cannot give up hope of Adar living you know.. it's some sort of disease I seem to have in regards to this character!

Because to me, you are SO right mentioning that scene of Galadriel witnessing the Uruk funeral! It HAS to mean something!!

So so many Adar scenes this season seem purposefully added! Like the parallels between him & Galadriel mourning the dead, the parallels of sowing seeds, the Arondir-Adar conflict (which seems unfinished tbh) & the whole play on Light & Dark.

One can say all this was to make his death impactful (add Nenya induced healing here too if you are a believer), which would have been fair had they not kept on adding more & more layers of mystery to his onion-ass identity too!

Twice they make him name drop silm characters in E7 alone; each of those name's rights must have cost THOUSANDS of dollars! So all this building up of mystery; one might rationally assume, must resolve before his death right?! Either this season or in season 3..

Which brings me to my theory on why he might somehow survive to season 3:

I found out today that JD & Patrick are mentees of the Hollywood 'Mystery Box' dude (about which I've heard many angry ramblings but as I've never seen the guy's work myself I can't choose a side)

This is important to my delulu ass rn because the whole 1st season of ROP had the Mystery Box of "Who is Sauron" with the little box of "Who is the stranger".

Now in 2nd season the Mystery Box has been "Who is Stranger" carrying forward from season 1, & the little box is what they have successfully manufactured in these later episodes, the mystery of "Who is Adar".

I believe they will open the stranger's identity mystery box in E8 & will carry forward the tantalizing box of Adar's identity for season 3 to be the main Mystery Box!

(I'm not counting Dark wizard's mysterious identity here as an option rn because they haven't built it or him up as much, maybe it'll be season 3's little box?!)

So wether Galadriel saves Adar on screen or not, whether Adar heals with Nenya or not, Adar still might live!! There are so so so many interesting things they have done with him, it just doesn't make sense to me to waste all that potential in a death rather than use it to maintain hype for the next season!

So in my delulu mind Adar might loose to sauron his sword, Morgoth's crown, Nenya, his children & even his Uruk-ness but he isn't dying just yet!

I hope my ramblings made any sense 🙉🙊

1 . arthur morgan. ⭒

2. dutch van der linde. ⭒

3. javier escuella. ⭒

4. john marston. ⭒

5. sadie adler. ⭒

6. mary-beth gaskill. ⭒

WARNINGS:

• minor rdr2 spoilers !

1. ARTHUR MORGAN !

i have a feeling arthur would barely listen to music but if he did, he’d listen while riding his horse. (if he could.)

• songs :

the man who sold the world — nirvana.

rock me amadeus — falco.

⭒ i don’t know why, i could just see him as someone who enjoys those songs or even also enjoys nirvana?

• artist :

nirvana.

⭒ like i said, i feel like he’d really enjoy nirvana, not just the viral songs but some of their less-known songs too.

⭒ he would definitely barely like the songs of theirs that have screaming in them but still like them.

2. DUTCH VAN DER LINDE !

he’s just not a fan of ‘music’ at all so listens to classical music, specifically only léo delibes on repeat. (probably the reason he went crazy.)

• song :

lakmé / act 1: “viens, mallika, dôme épais” — léo delibes.

⭒ do i even need to explain? he plays this song at camp EVERY. DAY. of his life — his spotify wrapped goes crazy.

• artist :

léo delibes.

⭒ since he only listens to the same song over and over, its only right that his favourite artist is the person who made the song.

3. JAVIER ESCUELLA !

he’d probably only listen to music for inspiration on what to learn on his guitar next.

• song :

cautela — josé vicentes.

piel canela — eydie gormé, los panchos.

⭒ definitely only listens to spanish songs, if he’s caught listening to english songs its probably with other gang members.

• artist :

eydie gormé.

⭒ explanation needed? no. he would love her songs, she makes beautiful songs.

4. JOHN MARSTON !

definitely listens to old music (70s, 80s) and jack calls him old.

• song :

comfortably numb — pink floyd.

head over heels — tears for fears.

⭒ i just know he’d levitate at the guitar solo on comfortably numb, EVERY. TIME.

• artists :

pink floyd.

the smiths.

⭒ would listen to about two songs by them and would die for the songs.

5. SADIE ADLER !

she cries to music like a depressed teenager, thinking of her husband every time.

• songs :

black beauty — lana del rey.

art deco — lana del rey.

⭒ cries to black beauty while thinking of her husband and then dances to art deco after.

• artist :

lana del rey.

⭒ she is a DIE HARD lana fan, i don’t care.

6. MARY-BETH GASKILL !

definitely one of those people that quite literally listens to everything.

• songs :

juna — clairo.

pretty boy — TV girl.

⭒ listens on repeat while smoking or drinking, on the floor.

⭒ if she gets too drunk she’ll probably cry to them.

• artists :

mitski.

lana del rey.

⭒ balls to them, while sober, of course.

⭒ definitely finds comfort in mitski.

!! REQUESTS ARE OPEN, I WILL DO ANY REQUESTS :)

thankyou for reading<3

[mj-iza-writer]

Warning- swear words, hair shaving.

"Okay, Whumpee, are you ready?", Whumper sighed and plugged in their razor.

Whumpee sobbed as they shook their head no.

"Geesh, don't make me feel worse than I already do", Whumper sighed, "I don't want to shave your head either, I really like your hair."

Whumper turned on the razor.

Whumpee turned fast, making Whumper stop.

"There has to be another way to fix this without shaving it... please", Whumpee sobbed.

"Whumpee, they rubbed the hair removal chemical into your scalp. It's coming out in clumps, and your scalp is burned from the chemical", Whumper looked down at them, "I have to treat the burns on your scalp, plus your remaining hair is singed. It's best to restart it so new hair will grow and be healthy."

Whumpee shook as they tried to hold back tears.

"I'm sorry Whumpee, I promise you that is the last time I allow anyone to watch you while I'm out of town", Whumper sighed, "I told them not to touch you, just let you go about chores and make sure you were alive. Have the guards help if you need a punishment."

Whumpee sat back down on the floor in between Whumper's legs.

"Okay", Whumpee sighed, "get it over with please."

Whumper turned on the razor and rested it on Whumpee's head for a second so they could feel it. They then started to shave the damaged hair away.

Whumpee squeezed their eyes shut as their hair fell all around them.

Whumper felt their anger rise with every glide they made with the tool.

'They will fucken pay for damaging my slave', Whumper thought to themself.

"Okay we're done", Whumper exhaled with annoyance, "let's go to the bathroom and clean you up in the tub, then I'll put some ointment on those burns."

Whumpee leaned over the tub and let Whumper spray over their head and shoulders. Once done, Whumper gently patted Whumpee's scalp dry.

"Go ahead and sit on my bed, I'll be in to take care of you", Whumper sprayed the tub over to get rid of the loose hair.

Whumpee groaned as they climbed onto the bed and waited. They glanced at a mirror that sat across from the bed. They felt like it was mocking them.

They quickly got up and went out into the hall.

Whumper walked up, "my bed isn't out here."

"I-I can't look in the mir-mirror, I don't want to se-see it", Whumpee struggled to explain, they wanted to cry and scream so badly.

Whumper sighed, "okay. Okay, go ahead and go to the dining room. I'll grab the stuff and be down."

"I'm sorry", Whumpee whispered.

"It's okay, I know your hair was important to you and this was a lot", Whumper comforted, "I am not happy that this happened to you."

"Thankyou", Whumpee whispered before heading to the dining room.

Whumper came down after a few minutes carrying a few things.

"Alright let's see", Whumper set everything down and started to look over Whumpee's scalp.

"Not as bad as I thought", Whumper sighed in relief, "it looks like just one bad burn, it looked like it was bigger when I first saw it so that is a relief."

"What is that stuff used for master?", Whumpee asked while Whumper gently applied an ointment, "what did they use on me?"

"It's a hair remover, people use it to remove unwanted hair from their bodies, like on their arms and legs. If not careful and if not used properly the chemicals can burn your skin", Whumper looked over the burns again, "it shouldn't be used on sensitive areas such as the scalp because the skin is sensitive."

Whumpee listened intently.

"It also shouldn't be left on for an extended amount of time because of chemical burns. Also why it shouldn't be used on the scalp as it's hard to clean out."

Whumper added a little more ointment before reaching for gauze, "does your head feel okay? Doe anything sting?"

"It feels okay Master, the burn doesn't hurt as much right now", Whumpee finally looked up at Whumper, "thankyou Master for helping your slave."

"You're welcome, and don't worry. The person who did this will pay dearly", Whumper frowned, "okay, I'm going to wrap your head in gauze so the ointment will stay on. You get the rest of today off. It's the least I could do since this happened."

"Really Master, you mean it", Whumpee seemed to be lightening up a bit. Whumper smiled.

"Yes of course", Whumper concentratedon applying the gauze, "you deserve it after all of this, and don't worry, your hair will grow back in no time."

When their head was finally wrapped in the gauze Whumpee turned and gave a small grin to Whumper.

"I'm glad to see you smiling again", Whumper grinned.

"Thankyou Master for taking care of me, I didn't deserve your gentle care", Whumpee beamed.

"You're welcome. Now go enjoy some rest time. I have something to attend to", Whumper smiled, "I have something special planned for dinner as well."

"Really", Whumpee squirmed excitedly.

"Yes, now run along. Please, try not to itch your head", Whumper smiled as they watched Whumpee wander off.

Whumper quickly walked to a hidden door. They slammed and locked it behind them. No need to chance Whumpee coming down their.

They could hear the muffled cries halfway down the steps.

"Hello bastard, are you ready for your punishment", Whumper sauntered over to a tool bench paying little mind to their prisoner.

Chains clancked together as whining became louder and more desperate.

Whumper finally turned to the person.

"I considered you a friend and trusted my prized possession to your care. I told you not to touch them. Make sure they're alive and taken care of, and that they do their chores. If they act up, have the guards deal with Whumpee. Or write it down, and I'd deal with it upon my return."

Whumper crouched down in front of the prisoner and frowned.

The person yelled into the gag they had tightly stuffed in their mouth.

"Shh", Whumper held their pointer finger over their mouth, "you don't get to talk, I'm talking", Whumper whispered threateningly, "I'm about to show you why you don't fuck with me, but this lesson will be short lived as you are about to die."

The person looked at Whumper with a terrified expression before pulling at their chains.

"I'm not one to play with, I'm quite dangerous, the police should have told you more before you took this assignment", Whumper stood and walked back to the tool bench, "I appreciate you giving me a heads up about the police planning a raid, my guards are well prepared to welcome them."

"You know there was a period of time Whumpee had to deal with my bad side, they were terrified of me", Whumper grinned, "but they finally gave in to me and my will. Now they are happy and taken care of. I take care of my people, you know", Whumper began mixing something.

They stepped over and pulled the gag from the person's mouth.

"Any last things to say before I put this science experiment on your head", Whumper held up the mixture.

"Please, I want to be your friend, the police were monitoring you through me", the person stuttered as they eyed the chemical, "please don't put that on my head, please."

"Hmm thanks for letting me know about the police, I'll be sure to let them know you said goodbye", Whumper grinned, "that doesn't explain why you did that to Whumpee."

"Th-they heard me talking to the police, they were about to call a guard into the house", the person stated then gulped.

Whumper frowned, and started to dump the mixture on the person's head.

They screamed as the mixture slid over their head and face.

It burnt. Their skin felt as though it was melting.

A guard stepped in a few minutes later.

"Oh good", Whumper smiled, "go ahead and take them out of their misery. Finalize that the home and guards are ready for a police raid, I'm sure they'll be here soon when they don't hear from this person. I'm going to find Whumpee."

The guard nodded and went to work.

Whumper was met by two guards at the entrance.

"We heard about the police, everything is secured. You should have no issues", one of them stated, "the bunker is prepared in case you need it though."

"Thankyou", Whumper frowned, "such a pain all of this."

They caught sight of Whumpee peaking around the corner.

"Come here", Whumper sighed.

Whumpee cowarded away from the guard's glare as they made their way to Whumper.

They bowed to Whumper, "I'm sorry Master."

"What are you doing sneaking around?", Whumper frowned.

"I-I'm sorry, I wasn't Master", Whumpee shakily stated.

"Explain", one of the guards stated impatiently.

Whumpee shook as they looked at Whumper, "I know you let me have today off, but I was afraid you wouldn't have your tea. So I made you some, I was trying to find you when I heard you talking. I didn't want to disturb you, so I was waiting."

Whumper relaxed their face to a smile and looked at their watch, "ah yes it is time for tea. I believe the guards here know what needs to be done. Let's go to my office."

Whumper nodded to the guards as they walked pass, "you know what to do", Whumper whispered.

Whumpee quietly walked beside Whumper as they walked to the office.

"Are you feeling okay Whumpee?", Whumper saw them wipe a tear.

"Ye-yes sir, I apologize for my emotions", Whumpee hurried to straighten up, "I didn't know I was interrupting you. I should have listened to what you had said about resting. I'm sorry."

"You're not in trouble I appreciate you thinking about me", Whumper smiled, "don't worry about what is going on around us, let's enjoy some tea together."

Hey hey heyyy

If your requests are still open, can i please request a cg!skz scenario (individually if possible) with littles who have had bad experience of physical abuse at some point in life and flinch easily but they comfort them with something like "its okay little one, papa isn't going to hurt you, papa isn't mad" if that's okay with you? Thankyou so much hope you have a great day/ night ahead !!! ❤❤❤

Okay, this request has been sitting awhile and I apologize so much. As a survivor of abuse, this request really meant a lot to me and I wanted to spend some time on it.

Thank you so much for the ask, sweet duckling.

CG! OT8 Stray Kids with Trauma Little

(tw for past abuse)

Bang Chan

Chan hates being stressed out

He hates it even more when it affects you

This comeback has been hard, the music genre while fun is completely different

Make it difficult for him to write and produce on the deadline

So when he woke up and couldn't find his laptop he lost it

You didn't mean to be a brat, you just were pulling a cute little prank. One you've done a million times before

But when Chan came into your bedroom red-faced instead of humored, you got scared

"Where is it y/n, I don't have time for games today"

Daddy never used your real name...

You got up to slow for his liking and he barked

"Hurry up!"

You flinched at the loud sound. It brought back a flood of bad memories and you froze in place

Which scared you even more knowing he wanted you to be quick

You aren't sure how he ended up in front of you but gentle hands cupped your face

"Little cub, oh baby. Daddy didn't mean to yell, he'd never yell on purpose. Oh, cubby come here. Daddy would never hurt you okay?"

He called off work for the rest of the day so he could hold you and remind you that he would never let anything hurt you, even himself.

Lee Know

It was one of those days for Minho

It wasn't a bad one but it wasn't good either

Everything little seemed to be getting on his nerves

All he wanted was to come home and put his mind on something else

He pulled the pots and pans out to make you both dinner

He thought putting his focus on making something really nice might calm him down a bit

He wasn't expecting you to wake up from your nap early

You came toddling in with stuffie and blanket in tow

He gave you a soft smile and went back to work

After naps, you were usually cuddly and wanted Noona's attention

You walked up next to him and looked into the pan that was frying up some pork belly

You reached out to snag a piece when all of a sudden the oil popped and burned you

You pulled back with a shirking cry and held your hand. Teary eyes looked up at your Noona

"Baby go away! I'll get you when it's ready!" Minho snapped and shooed you away with his hand

What he didn't expect was the flinch that followed. Then you ran

He immediately turned everything off and came looking for you

He found you hiding under the blankets on the bed

"Little kitten Noona didn't mean to scare you" he cooed softly while removing the blankets

"Oh kitty cat, come here. I am so sorry I scared you like that. You know I'd never hurt you little one. Even if Noona is mad he would never hit you. Promise me you know that" Tears started to well in his own eyes now

"I promise Noonie"

"Thank you, baby. Now why don't you come help me finish dinner, kitten? Think you can do that?"

Changbin

Binnie and you were playing a game of ‘Hide and Seek’

It had all been fun until Binnie actually couldn’t find you

He looked in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom

Even places that were off-limits like the studio and backyard

His anxiety started to peak after 10 minutes

Bin knows nothing bad could have happened

But he was worried you might be stuck and needed him

If he didn’t find you soon then maybe you'd begin to panic

He made his way into the home gym, somewhere you never go without him

He has made it very clear this room can be dangerous without Dada

So when he saw a tiny foot sticking out from behind the closed treadmill he was shocked

“Baby! You need to get out of there right now”

He pulled you out, not hard, never hard. He knew his strength. It was more of a soft suggestion of a tug

But the voice and the physical touch were enough to trigger something in you from your past

“sorry dada,” you said softly as you backed away to the wall, refusing to make eye contact

Changbin felt awful, he knew about your past and the last thing on earth he wanted to do is make you relive it

“Bunny! Dada isn’t mad! See” he puts on a big exaggerated smile making you giggle

“Dada is just upset he lost the game! The baby bun is just so good at hiding. You know what you get for winning baby?” you tilted your head

“Bear hugs!” Binnie suffocated you in a tight hug.

“Baby bun, Daddy will always protect you. Forever.” He whispered to you

Hyunjin

Mother's Day is coming up and you wanted to make something special for your Mama

One of your favorite activities together is Mama and Little One art studio

Hyunjin sets up the entire studio into a painting and crafts for two

He will have little stations set up and will walk through each one of them with you

So what better way to celebrate Mother's Day than a studio set up by baby

You decided on three stations

A painting one where you two will paint your favorite memory

A Card making one where you both can make Mother's days cards

and finally a photoshoot studio!

You collected all of your dress-up clothes and some of Jinnies best outfits

Then you grab paper and pens out of the office for the card studio

All that was left to do was the paint station...which meant going into Mama's big studio

You knew you needed Mama's permission to get it but it would ruin the surprise

After some contemplation, you decided it was important to get good paint!

You snuck in quickly and grabbed all the paint you could in one go

You were almost out until you tripped and dropped all the paint

Thankfully it landed on the tarp...or that was what you thought

Then you saw some red paint splashed on Hyunjin's painting for his mom...

You tried to wipe it off but it honestly made it worse

Your soft tears turned into fat sobs as you heard the front door open

"Little Painter? Honey? Why is the living room so messy" Hyunjin called out softly, not mad but curious

He saw this studio door open and instantly knew where you were hiding

His heart shattered as you stood in the middle of the room sobbing and covered in paint.

However, he was done for when you stepped back as he stepped in

Jin got down on his knees and opened his arms in a sign of peace

"Come here little muse, mama isn't mad. Mama just wants to make sure you are okay"

He held you tight once you entered his arms

"Mama...I ruined painting" you pointed

"Oh, little painter! Mama was stuck on what to add! A red rose would be perfect, you even started it for me. Now if I wasn't confused I think there is a studio night waiting for us. Come on my little artist. Mama loves you"

Han

Han woke up in a state of anxiety and he just wanted to be home

He wanted to curl up in bed and watch Anime with his little one

To relax and nap with his baby

To ignore the world and all of its troubles. To be with his happiness

So when he opened the door to loud music, bubbles, paint, toys everywhere, and a messy little one

He broke down

Not at you. He would never break down at you. You always helped him cheer up

It was just the overstimulation of the situation

"OPPA!!!!" You yelled and he cringed at the volume

"Oppa play with me! Play Dinosaurs! Be Rexie, Oppa!"

"Little sprite, please quiet down"

But you were too hyper to listen

"Oppa, I miss youuuuuuuu," you say hanging off of your Oppa's arm

The pulling was too much, the touch was overwhelming

He yanked his arm back and closed his eyes to collect himself

When he opened them again he found you shaking and sitting on the floor

"Sorry Oppa, I was bad. I sorry!" You cried

The whines were a lot for him but he needed to push through to help you

"My Ponyo, little fishy. Oppa wasn't going to hit you"

"But I bad"

"Baby you are never bad! Never ever my sweet baby. Oppa is having an icky day. You remember when we talked about big icky days" You nodded

"Well Oppa is having an icky day"

"Oppa says icky days means sounds n touch can be too much, Oppa feels that?" it was Han's turn to nod

"Oppa go relax?"

"Only if my Totoro goes with me"

Felix

Mommy Lixie wanted to make brownies for the big party you two were hosting later

It was a celebration of all the boy's hard work

So while you were running errands for supplies

Felix got to baking

What Felix was not aware of was that you had begun to slip while you were at the store

There were too many people and the employees were mean when you asked for help

You wanted to prove to Felix you could be a big kid and do these tasks for him

You wanted to show that you could have a party and not get overwhelmed

But now you wanted to walk through the door and snuggle with your mommy while he pet your hair

That wasn't the case though

You opened the door to Felix immediately asking you to do more stuff

"Hey love, when you get the groceries put away can you set the table? Maybe start the punch bowl as well, I want the pretty ice. Oh also---" And on and on he went with a list of tasks

You wanted to break down but you needed to be strong for Mommy---You mean Felix

You jumped to a start when the alarm to the oven when off

That was the final straw, the sound scared you straight into little space

"Darling, can you grab those? Im hanging up the streamers"

"Yes, Mo-Yes Lixie!"

You were too small to use the oven, did you even remember how?

You opened the door and reached in for the freshly baked pan of brownies

On contact, you yelped out loud and dropped the pan.

Felix came running in

"Y/n, WHAT HAPPENED"

All you could do was hold your hand and cry

You saw the brownies on the floor and immediately jumped up to fix your mistake

But arms picked you up instead

"Shhhhhh you need to breathe little one. Follow Mommy's breathing. In and Out."

When you got your air back you began to tell Mommy how sorry you were

"Oh, my pixie Mommy would never be mad! He should have noticed you were a little baby. Let Mommy look at your hand baby"

He bandaged you up and kissed it better.

A text was sent to the group chat letting the boys know you were feeling small which was met with a bunch of excited Uncles

"I think these brownies will taste better if we make them together, baby fairy"

Seungmin

Seungmin and you were friends for many years before he became your caregiver

After he found you relapsing into bad memories from your past

Once he calmed you down he met your eyes and something seemed different

You seemed younger, happier, and carefree

You explained the next morning about regression and he instantly wanted to be your caregiver

The issue is...he still was your best friend

You two bully each other relentlessly

That is just the love language you shared

Normally it would be fine but today was different

You were feeling small but couldn't bring yourself to tell him

It wasn't his fault he was hurting your feelings, how could he have known

"Of course, you would find the ugly bug cute. It looks just like you!"

"No, we aren't going to play Mario Kart, you'll just lose and be upset"

"I'm not dealing with a crybaby tonight"

That was the one that brought all the memories back

"Y/n, look you are already crying! wait...hun...you are crying. Why are you crying?"

"Minnie, sorry you have to deals with me"

He knew he messed up. Jumps straight into caregiver mode

"NO NO NO! Little Pup you are not something I have to deal with! I love you so much puppy. Oh, Minnie was just being a big mean bully, wasn't he? The meanest bully around."

You nodded with a giggle and he smiled

"I think it is only fair you get to say something back. Hit me with the best you got, Puppy"

You thought for a bit

"You look like a stick bug!"

"I deserved that pup. But you, my little one" he picked you up. "You never deserve to hear such mean words. Remember you are my favorite thing in the whole world"

I.N.

Tonight was movie night with Jeongin

He had a feeling you were going to be small so he set up an entire fairy garden living room

He hung up lights, spread out blankets, made snacks, and even had a sippy of fairy milk ready to go

When you showed up he changed you into a new pair of fairy jammies and got you cuddly in front of the tv

Of course, tonight's film was Tinkerbell

You were so excited, you couldn't sit still

The fairies were so pretty and magical!

"Innie Innie Innie!"

"Yes, my little kit?"

"You be an animal fairy!"

"Tell me why sweetie"

You went on to explain exactly why Jeongin would be an animal fairy without ever taking your eyes off the tv

"My little Tinkerbell, would you like your stuffy?" He asked because he saw you fidgeting with the carpet

A hum of approval was all you gave

I.N. decided your Neverbeast plush would be the most appropriate

"Baby heads up" Innie called out before tossing the stuffed animal toward you

It was a soft throw but you weren't paying attention so the monster jumping toward you triggered a fearful yelp

You looked towards Innie for comfort but then you noticed he was the one who threw the beast towards you

"Innie" Your voice stumbled "why innie"

Before a single tear could fall he was at your side pulling you into his lap

He hated how tense you felt in his arms

"Little Fox, Innie didn't mean to scare you! He thought it would be fun to surprise you with your plushie baby"

"Why Innie throws it at me? I promise I no watch movies"

"No little one! Innie wasn't punishing you for watching the movie. He thinks you are being the most adorable little one in the world! He should have thought about it before throwing it. You know Innie would never ever hit you, promise Innie you know that foxy"

"I promise Innie, just scared me"

"I know baby, I won't do it again" he brought you in for the biggest hug

"Innie...I no see the movie"

"Oh I'm sorry baby, here sit in Innie's lap and we will watch together" He got you settled in with a blanket. "Who is the yellow one honey?"

[elvispresleywife]

Guys Ive just been doing some late night loving and reminiscing and just general thinking about Elvis and I realised something that sums up how I feel about Elvis....kind of....and I will put it in quotes because I'm pretty proud "When I started off as an Elvis fan...I was a fan of the entertainer. The performer....then as I delve deeper....I became a fan of the man. The human being. The imperfect yet somehow perfect creation that was Elvis Presley." I started out ages ago when I was younger listening to his music, marveling at his jumpsuits and his songs, and the way he performed on stage. But as I got older....I got more invested....I wanted to know who this man was...what was it that made him so special to me? Why did I feel such an intense and strong connection to someone I've never met? So I began reading books and quotes, down to general scribbles of love notes from him to his girlfriend's or a poem about crushing a bird's skull 😭. I'd watch hours and hours of footage of him....anything I could find. Concerts, interviews, silent videos, photos, anything. I found a love for the man. The raw emotional side of the person who longed for happiness. A purpose. The man who grieved the deaths of people he never knew and problems that society faced. The man whose kindness and generosity outreaches to those beyond prestige and wealth. Beyond those who would be considered his "equals". The man who would laugh one minute and cry the next. The man who felt so deeply he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders everyday both on and off that stage. I fell for the humble, kind, shy, sweet, jealous, sometimes manipulative, but overall incredibly imperfect perfect man with the temper of a raging bull and the tenderness of a kitten. This man has and always will have a profound impact and leave a positively detrimental mark on my life. Not just his incredible music that I listen to everyday but his humanity and charisma and the fact that he was unapologetically himself and if you didn't like it you could leave. I couldn't't imagine a life without him. And to be frank I don't want to. I love this man with all my heart. I can't describe in words how deep my love goes for this man. It's an eternal and special love only me and he will understand. I don't care if this sounds odd or weird. I just had to get it off my chest. I just love him so much my heart aches. I laugh with him and cry for him. This man has changed my world for the better. I look at life through a different lens. And I wouldn't change it for anything.

Sorry for rambling but this is how I feel.

(To Elvis) I love you so much baby. Can't wait to meet you. Thankyou for always being there for me through your music, your movies, your interviews....and just thankyou for being there. I've felt you with me many times and I am so grateful for it. Love you so much.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[the-tarot-witch22]

First of all a big thankyou to you for always cheering me up and making me feel confident within my work, I'm so happy to know that you liked them. And yes it is actually funny because I do get some vibes of you two having same religion/culture yet I was also receiving something about European country/london especially so I was like is it a foreigner? But same culture hmm. But anything is possible so whatever that is you deserve the best and I'm sure you'll receive it. Also your fs definitely wants the best for you and love yourself, i also feel your higher-self would love herself too and as she should!!

Here's a feedback; OMG! Just few seconds in the reading and I'm already tearing up, because please the reading if just so beautiful :)) Okay so hearing about healing and self-love and all I'm just so happy because I've been doing a lot of shadow work and self-love is something very important to me now so knowing that my higher would reach that point of life where she's receiving the fruits of her hardwork I am very emotional, "Go for it" how do I explain i words what it meant to me because I was just thinking about things in life and all, especially about my career and then I hear this. Definitely I'm someone who's still learning to trust herself and all it was a huge sign for me especially for the steps I've been wanting to take/taking. Hearing about friends made me so greatful because I've been kind of unlucky when it comes to friendships especially offline (ik it also had a reason) so that is just so beautiful. Also about luxuries and money, and my higher-self??? She's exactly what i want to be or imagine her to me omg. Yeah like f*ck it, wait last life connection came here too?? And my fs popping up in ng reading again okay this reading is all I needed I am gonna give myself a good cry. And also that's so true I'm definitely the type of even now who looks at past just to remind myself how far I've came and what they've taught me and feel greatful even for those tough moments. "I also feel pink, green (pastel) or dark shades have importance in your life" wow please i should kiss your hands rn because it resonates even with colours, like i really love pastel shades and dark shades, and i would say they do play a role since when i wear dark clothes i feel much more confident and tune within mymasculine energy and with light colours with my feminine energy and I'm sure that maybe these colours play another roles too. "felt you standing in front of mirror and admiring it" *cries again* because I do have struggled with my body since my childhood and very insecure of it because of how skinny I look, and seeing her admiring her parts made me realise a lot. And yes I am a forgiving person and I've already forgiven everyone woah please you picked on the present too!?? Also about job, and career with growth...(Just so very greatful) Literally so very greatful because that's what I've wanting to give myself and even the higher position/business definitely aligns with my goals. And coming to my intuition and the Messages just blessed!! I am definitely gonna start hearing it more and also about the mysteries it makes sense and resonates (I'm surprised) because it's just a huge confirmation to me. Also coming to education, honey it resonates again because that's one of my biggest goals. Also "thankyou for meeting me baby" my pookie baby i already love you so much you popping up in the reading again!!!? Or atleast knowing something about you, it's okay love ik we'll meet when the timing is right. 🤍🫂 Also the moodboard?? Bro it's just so beautiful energetically and the fact I do see so many angel numbers, 444 too. Okay everything literally everything RESONATES!!

How do I explain in words how greatful i feel. Love you so very much honey, i really appreciate each and every moment, really greatful that I met you. Everything has a reason and I'm it had too. Sending my warmest hugs to my sweetheart, you are amazing don't question yourself. You are moving forward and making progress and that's a really huge thing, things take time but ik we'll be okay!!

Proud of you bub. Have an amazing day ahead. Sending lots of love and blessings 🫶🏻🤍✨🧿

You are so sweet for giving me both readings and moodboard and they resonated so much with me, it made me so emotional and happy thank you sm, I appreciate you so much that I can't describe in words, my love yes exactly!! Its funny maybe that country has important value in both of our lives I am just so excited to meet him! I love him already! Yess, we will have everything we deserve and I am sure the universe is working our favour!! Amen 🙏

✨️🌼✨️🌼✨️🌼✨️🌼✨️🌼✨️🌼✨️🌼✨️🌼✨️🌼

The detailed feedback?? I am so in love with it , you are so so sweet 😭 the messages I kept picking on it was like everything your higherself wants you to hear and lessen your worries and doubts, your future spouse/soulmate he really wants to give you love and confirmation that he is out there, the way lovers card flew and pop up and I was like he is too excited to show himself to you lol, and it was cute, I am happy for him and for you 😭 I am so glad you liked the moodboard I kept feeling drawn to those pictures and I know they all had something for you, to feel and hear, I am literally smiling and feeling just so emotional?? Like I am so glad for the feedback and they way our energy aligns it just made me so so happy! I am so glad your higher self has everything , she literally is the sweetest, thank you so much for letting me read for you, ilysm!

Chan [Christopher] short

You finished with your vocal practice. Tired and with a sore throat you came out of the studio leaving seungmin behind. You were starving and ordered some pizza as it was the first thing that popped up in your mind. As the pizza arrived you went to Chan's room to offer him some. You knew he hadn't eaten anything as he was preoccupied with his work. Well, it was totally understandable as the comeback was next week, but he still needs to take care of his health. With a soft smile on your face, you walked towards his work room. You gently twisted the door knob as quitely as you could and as you thought, he was sitting there with his headset and composing something. You made your way towards him and patted on his back.

"Chris?" you called out his name in a soft, tired voice. He mumbled giving you a sign to continue speaking. "Do you need anything? i can help you if you need anyth-" he cut you off and replied, "no, i'm fine" he said without sparing a glance at you. "oh, um. are you perhaps hungry? i got pizza" you said trying your best to keep a smile on your face. You were really tired. "I do not need anything, let me be" he said in a more stern and harsh tone. He's never like this. I understand he's stressed and needs his space but he can't just not eat. "take a break, here, i got your favourite topping too." You said in a calm way, i mean you tried to. As you were unapacking the box, you heard him huff, "Why can't you fucking let me be (y/n)? For fuck's sake. I told you i don't want to eat anything. Why can't you ever listen to me? Why are you literally so clingy and annoying all the time? Can you not give me a little space? All i need right now is space. The last thing i want to hear is your annoying little voice. I don't want food (y/n), all i need is to you to leave." He snapped at you. You were too tired to argue, you were just so exhausted. "fine, alright. Here's the pizza. Eat it whenever the fuck you feel like. You didn't have to be so difficult." your smile dropped. You left the pizzas there, you just lost your appetite. You were too exhausted to even cry at this point. You silently got up and left. After-all he didn't mean all that, right?

"Seungmin? i'm heading back to the dorms, wanna join?"

"Yeah, cool"

I just continued to work on the song i was composing after she left. I didn't really give much thought to what i said, i was too tired to. All i know is, i was at the wrong, ah fuck. After finishing with my work, my eyes fell upon the pizza boxes, and the guilt hit in. Did she want to eat with me? Has she eaten? Fuck, i really messed up. I sighed while rubbing my forehead and shutting my eyes. Why did i snap at her? She was really calm throughout. It's not only me who's stressed. The comeback is stressing all of us, i can’t be selfish. I got up and cleaned up my desk, ready to head to the dorms. I picked up the pizzas and took them with me. (Y/n) usually stays at my room, i'm not sure if i'll find her there, so i went to her room, she wasn't there either. I sighed and went to the common kitchen to keep the pizza boxes in the frige. "hey, chan" Han was sitting on the dining table busy on his phone. "hi." i replied in a tired tone. "ay, i'm starving. Can i please have those?" he said looking at the boxes in my hand. "Sure, warm them up" i replied as i handed them over to him. "by any chance, do you know where's (y/n)?" i asked him desperately. "Oh, yeah. She's with Seung and Hyun in Seungmin's room." he replied munching on his pizza, she really did get my favourite topping. "oh. okay, thankyou." Instead of heading back to my room, i decided to go visit Seungmin's room. As i getting closer to his room, i could hear them laughing. I smiled a bit and sighed. I knocked on the door. After a bit hyunjin opened the door. "Hey channn" He said with a huge smile. "hi." i got in smiling back at him. I diverted my eyes towards (y/n). She was giggling with seungmin. "hello, old man" Seungmin teased me. I groaned. As (y/n) saw me her smile dropped and looked away. She was hurt. After a while, (y/n) got up "I'm gonna go sleep, really tired. Goodnight" she flashed a soft smile at them but not me. "Can i come with you?" i said while getting up with her. She didn't say anthing. Oh fuck, i shouldnt have asked that. "Nevermind, i'm sorry it's fin-" i said nervously only to get cut off by her "sure, yeah, whatever." she said and looked away. As she walked outside of the room, i followed. The whole walk to her room was just silent. I was nervous and bottled up with guilt. She sighed as we reached her room's door. She opened the door as i spoke, "babe?" silence. "i'm really sorry for what i said. i swear i didn-" she cut me off with a tight hug, i hugged her back immediately, that caught me off guard. "it's alright, i understand." she said in a soothing voice. Lord, i truly love her. "i didn't mean it. what i said, i swear i didnt mean everything i said. i didn't mean to snap, it was unintentional, i-" i snuggled my face in her neck, "chris, it's okay, we both are exhausted, we both didn't mean to snap." "i love you, let's snuggle, yeah?"

Meeting Matthew ( first day)

So I didn't have cash for a signing from Matthew but I gave him all the stuff I drew for him which he looked extremely happy about

So I went up and said hi he gave me the biggest hug and I said I just needed to give this to you because you have kind of followed me through all my obsession I've been through. He put both his hands on my shoulders looking right in my eyes and said " I FOLLOWED YOU HOME!!???" I laughed and said " almost " but I just told him how much i appreciate you. And he gave me multiple hugs and said " Thankyou for being so sweet " I was literally so happy

He also said he'd draw me something really special when I come back tomorrow and i literally almost cried especially when they started putting up the drawings I made 😭😭😭

When I get the drawing I will immediately be getting it tattooed on my body ! I'm also getting a photo with him tomorrow too and I will for sure post the pic .

ALSO this guy who I think was working for a journalist thing was TAKING PICTURES of our interaction and said he would send me those pics too . So I'm literally about to cry about that too I'm so happy

trip down memory lane - eddie munson

//warnings//: mentions of death, implied depressive state, but other than that, just bittersweet energy

note: this is the first time I've ever written something like this so if it reads like it was written by a middle schooler, I'm still learning.

An old bleach stained metallica t-shirt, and a pair of ratty old converse.

That was all you had left of eddie, all that was left of the boy you had loved so deeply. You had never expected him to pass so young, but nobody did.

After he passed, it left you feeling like a part of you was missing, like there was a hole in your heart that could never be filled. though you knew this wasn't what he would've wanted you to be feeling, you couldn't help but grieve the loss of someone who meant more to you than anyone ever had.

You never thought you would lose him, you had always seen the two of you growing old together, having slow sunday mornings with pancakes and coffee, laughing and watching old movies on rainy days cuddled in blankets and enjoying eachothers company.

But instead you were in your room, crying into your pillow and clinging to the faint scent of him that was still stuck on the fabric of the bleach stained t shirt you were wearing and staring at his shoes, that had been left in the corner of your bedroom trying to convince yourself he wasnt entirely gone, that you still had some part of him with you in these material things. you couldn't fathom the idea of living without him, and you never thought you would have to go through this.

As you lay there, snotty nose and puffy face, you remember all the moments you and eddie shared in this town, you think about that girl wearing baggy jeans that caused her to look much shorter than she was with an extremely faded band tee found at the back of her closet. And how eddie munson sat next to her and talked to her and made her feel seen.

You remember you and Eddie's first meeting, it was a very cold and rainy tuesday when he had walked into your English class for the first time all year and sat next to you in the back. And you recall after he sat down, when he carefully inspected the book sat at the corner of your desk and then proceeded to ask you for a pencil, which you gladly gave him, earning a thankyou and a small bow.

You think back to another day in english, the only class the two of you had together. And how that particular day you were quite run down and spread thin and eddie had slipped a crumpled piece of paper to you that read:

i hope that you're ok. you look kinda dead and I've grown to enjoy sitting next to you.

-E.M.

you then slowly and carefully scrawled underneath his note:

im ok. and I've grown to enjoy sitting next to you as well

-y/n

you passed the note back to him, receiving a small smile. he didn't write another note the rest of class that day but he did leave a note tucked into your windshield that you had grabbed it furiously, thinking it was a ticket, only to see his name and phone number with the words 'call me sometime' scrawled underneath.

You had read that note with the dumbest smile on your face, and full intentions to call him when you got home. When you had gotten home, you threw your bag down on the floor of your room and you put a cassette into your player and listened to the sounds of metallica combined with the rainy weather. meanwhile the thoughts had swarmed your head about whether or not calling him right now would seem too desperate or too much, and looking back on it you realize that was stupid, knowing eddie was probably sitting by his phone smiling like an idiot and feeling proud of himself.

when you eventually did decide to call him, the two of you ended up having better conversation than you could've hoped for. You talked for hours about lord of the rings and debated about different bands, for the first time, you had thought, someone finally understood you.

you had grown so close to eddie in those short months, and you recalled when you had found out about everything in the upside down, and you got scared of losing the person you loved and started becoming distant and talking to eddie less, convincing yourself he was better off without you. You thought back to a day when you were still working at the record store next to the family video. You were stocking some records after closing when there was a knock at the door, "Hey, dude, we're closed, you've gotta leave," you called from the back of the shop. the knock came again. You finally turned around to see eddie standing in the rain and immediately went to let him in. "eddie, what are you doing? dude, it's pouring rain, " you said, gesturing for him to come in. in that moment, you thought you had never seen him look more confused and sad in your life. he looked at you with his big brown doe eyes and spoke, "Why have you been ignoring me?" he had said, intertwining his hands and looking up at you. The fear started creeping over you that you were going to have to tell him how you felt and that you were afraid of losing him. "I have no idea what you're talking about," you said, attempting to ignore what he had just asked you. "bullshit, y/n" he said, "please just tell me why, or what I did, I'm always fucking up it has to be something" eddie added, eyes brimmed with tears. "i-" you started, struggling to find the words. "You didn't do anything wrong, eddie. i just wouldn't be able to lose you, " you breathed, regretting your words immediately, embarrassed of your feelings. Eddie's eyebrows furrowed, and a look of realization panned his face. "You weren't ever gonna lose me, y/n," he said, inching closer to you. "But what if I do?" You had said, voice cracking. "You won't. And you never will"

That was the last time that you had kissed eddie munson. The last time you were close to his perfectly sculpted face, the last time you felt his unkempt curly hair, and smelled his cheap cologne, and the last time you told him you loved him.

When dustin told you, your heart dropped.

You had opened your door to a teary eyed 14 year old who looked like he had been crying for days. Dustin was your favorite of Eddie's friends, and seeing him look so disheveled made you think there was something very wrong.

"eddie-um-uh, eddie is dead" dustin had told you, crying mid sentence, hiccuping uncontrollably. You had immediately pulled him into a hug and your heart felt like it had dropped to your stomach, and you heard dustin talk through muffled sobs, "he wanted me to tell you he didn't run away this time". and soft smile appeared on your face, tears still flowing.

"Wally

You're looking for me. Silly. Silly."

Hope this helps, this took a very long time to do, and it was kinda tedious.

[storiesoflilies]

omfg. i just read your piece “moments in twilight” and i am awestruck. first of all, it is SO criminally underrated and i pity everyone who hasn’t read it. your writing style is just wow. reading your words is like reading a whole collection of SO SO SO incredibly well-written poems. your work is poetry and you’ve changed my brain chemistry for the rest of my life i fear. you had me so invested and sobbing inconsolably at the end. THANK YOU for writing and please never stop 😭🙏. your piece gave me shivers. don’t even get me started on all the beautiful character development. the way you write sukuna is 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌 and every metaphor you use just fits so perfectly. i don’t know how else to explain it but your writing is simply ethereal

ahhhh nonie!!!!

this was such an incredibly kind and sweet thing to say about my writing!!!! that it’s poetry?!?!? it made you cry and shiver?!?!?? that it’s ethereal?!?!? those are one of the highest compliments i can ever get on something i have written, so thankyou so much for taking the time to pop into my inbox and say this!!!

and i am so glad you enjoyed the way I wrote sukuna!!! i was very anxious and kept overthinking his character and the way he would be around the reader, so i’m really glad you thought he was well written <333

i hope you stick around to enjoy my other pieces n never be shy about popping into my inbox to share your thoughts :3

much love,

Lily xo

[onlyhereforghost]

So a little something from me…

I grew up an only child, with a mother and a step father. I was, at times, babied, and at other times, pushed to be an adult before I needed to be. My mother was not an affectionate woman, my step father made it clear he didn’t care much for me, despite him being in my life since I was around three or four years old.

My familial love came from my grandparents whom I adored.

Both my parents put career before me. My mother worked full time, roughly 60-70 hours a week. My step father spent six months of the year working abroad. I ended up living with my grandparents as a result.

When I was 12, my mother was seriously injured at work, which meant she could no longer go to work, and I ended up moving back into my parents home. That same year my grandfather died. I lost my best friend and biggest supporter when he passed. My extended family also fractured, my mother fell out with her sister, and they never spoke again after this falling out.

I spent the rest of my mother’s life seeking approval from both her and my step father, basically begging for crumbs of affection. I had a child at 24. I wanted somebody to love me. My parents tried to take my child from me. I’m glad to say my kid and I have an incredible relationship and that even tho he’s now 21 he is still at home with me. (He drives me up the wall sometimes but I love him unconditionally, and I tell him I love him everyday)

My mother died six years ago. All I have left is the step father who hated me. We have a strained relationship at best. I still seek his approval even in my 40’s, and he still treats me like I’m stupid.

So… Ghost.

This band entered my life during a time when my depression was BAD. And suddenly, things seemed a little less dark. My son also loved them. I discovered them through him. “You like rock music mum, try this band Ghost…” “I dunno kid, your musical taste is questionable at best…” He wasn’t wrong, I immediately fell in love with the music. Prequelle had me in a choke hold even tho by this point Impera had been out a couple of months.

Then I discovered THE LORE. Oh boy, hello rabbit hole, my name is Alice, let’s go explore! (My name isn’t Alice. It just worked for this narrative).

Copia. My beloved Copia. I see so much of myself in his story. His desperation to be loved. His eagerness for approval. His lack of familial bonds. His hyper-fixations. The happy silly mask he wears for others when inside he feels like crying.

I learned about Tobias and his story too. How he lost a family member he adored at a young impressionable age. How he had family who disapproved (his father and step mother) and how he constantly pushed himself to create something that would bring people happiness.

This band mean everything to me. They are my happy place. They’ve brought people into my life who I love and adore and would fight tooth and nail for. (Looking at you @callmemamaemeritus )

In the end, when Tobias said Ghost fans seem to be lonely, in my case he was right. I think a lot of Ghost fans are a little broken, a little battle scarred, we’ve been through some shit in our lives. But then we found Ghost. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been a fan since Opus or found them on TikTok, this is a solid fandom (90% of the time, there’s always people who try and ruin it, I ignore those people). This fandom is sweet, and loving, and kind, and all kinds of talented - look at the art! Look at the fanfic! The cosplay! SO. MUCH. TALENT.

All this to say, thank you OP for your observations about the movie. Thank you Ghost for existing.

Thank you Tobias for giving me a family. For giving me the love and respect and affection I spent my whole life chasing.

Thankyou Copia. You will always be MY Papa.

(And if you read this whole rant of mine you’re a real one and deserve a cookie. So go get one. 🍪)

RHRN spoilery talk

(about grief and mental health and the ending, the way I see the movie and why I love it so much)

I am feeling so many things about the fact that Copia was so unwell and anxious during the movie, trying to push away the reality of the end of his time as Papa as well as the visible signs of illness in Sister, that he dissociated the moment he stepped off stage, that he saw her sitting in a regular chair instead of the wheelchair, blended out the doctors and IV bags to see her how he wanted to see her, this strong powerful woman who has been by his side, pushing him, and who he only recently learned was his actual mother. It is so very easy to get lost in your anxiety about the future, in the anticipatory grief of what you'll lose, struggling to stay mindful and here where you have actual power over your life.

And looking back at the chapters this is what he has been doing, clinging to his little comforts (think of the whipped cream moment in the movie vs. the video games, the tricycle rides, the movie scene re-enactments), pushing away unwanted thoughts (not doing his taxes, the fact that neither his father nor his mother openly admitted to the parentage despite all signs being there, letting him float in uncertainty), playing it off like he's cool about everything while feeling dread and anxiety on the inside the closer he comes to the end of his era and presumed death (think of the coffin scene, the intro to the movie).

This man had no family so he picks role models that are close to him and suddenly when he learns that they were family all along he loses them, learns that he has been lied to most of his life and worked hard for others, to fill their shoes (first his father, now his mother). Despite Nihil treating him awfully he continuous to try and reach for approval for his achievements which he does not even get by the end as he's promoted ("I hope this new guy doesn't disappoint like you did"). He will never get emotional fulfilment from his father despite having small bonding moments, something that is fucking hard to accept and that he brushes off by throwing silly insults at him because it hurts. Because yeah, this is the type of pain that makes you feel like a child searching for breadcrumbs of affection from parents who do not know how to meet your emotional needs.

I feel just incredibly seen by all of this, the grief, dealing with sick relatives, emotional neglect, absent fathers you try to get love from but never will, lack of familial support, depression, trying to hold on to what comforts you in the darker moments, struggling to stay present in the face of anxiety and the world at large. I know this plot means little to some people, that you'd wished for more drama or something different altogether, but I feel like if you paid attention to the chapters then this is only the natural progression, the natural conclusion of his arc. It is very raw if you look past the comedic relief, and it is very well done in a way that keeps the campy, silly vibes of the chapters while still approaching these subjects in a very tangible, relatable way. It just makes me love the band even more.

Tales Of Fairyland

Chapter 9: Shadows of Despair

{Genevieve walked slowly to the stables her eyes red from crying. Everywhere she looked the castle seemed to be much quieter and smaller without Elara running about with the twins. Even Willow and Aurora seemed much quieter and sadder without their playmate. They had searched everywhere. Even the outlands of Fairyland. Genevieve herself had checked on Grumblewix and Dragonheart to see if she was there. She even went as far as checking the Realm of Eternal Light. But Elara was nowhere to be seen. Now there was only one place left to check. The Real World. And that is exactly where she was heading to as soon as she got Shadow. As she entered the stable yards, even here it seemed quieter as well. Hanner was busy scrubbing the water buckets while the other dwarfs got the feed ready for the horses.

{Hanner looking up} Hello Princess Genevieve.

{Genevieve} Hello, Hanner. I hope you and the dwarfs are well.

{Hanner} We are well. How have you and Ash been holding up?

{Genevieve approached Hanner with a weary smile, grateful for the concern of the dwarfs who had been like family to her and Ash.}

{Genevieve} We've been doing our best, Hanner, but it's been a difficult time. The castle feels empty without Elara's presence. We've been searching tirelessly for her, but she's still missing.

{Hanner's expression grew somber, and he set aside his work to give Genevieve his full attention.}

{Hanner} She is a ray of sunshine your daughter is. I hope you find her soon and that she will return home safe and sound. Me and the other dwarfs have been keeping a candle lit at night and at a window in hopes that she will return.

{Genevieve's eyes glistened with gratitude as she listened to Hanner's heartfelt words. The dwarfs had always been a source of warmth and support, and their gestures of hope meant the world to her.}

{Genevieve} Thank you, Hanner. Your kindness and the support of all the dwarfs mean more to me than words can express. Elara is indeed a ray of sunshine, and I long for the day when she returns home safe and sound.

{Hanner nodded in understanding, his eyes reflecting the shared concern for the missing princess.}

{Hanner} We'll keep that candle burning, Princess Genevieve. And we'll keep a watchful eye for any sign of her return. May the winds of fortune be with you in your search.

{Genevieve} Thankyou Hanner. Is Shadow in his stall?

{Hanner} Yes he is. I go and get him saddled.

{Genevieve} Its ok Hanner. I can tack him up.

{Hanner} No I insite you have much on your mind.

{Genevieve appreciated Hanner's thoughtfulness, and she nodded in agreement.}

{Genevieve} You're right, Hanner. My mind is heavy with worry, and I appreciate your help.

{Hanner quickly went to Shadow's stall and began to saddle up the majestic half Kelpie. Shadow stood patiently, as if sensing the urgency of the situation.}

{Hanner, speaking softly to Shadow} You take good care of Genevieve, Shadow. Bring her daughter back safely.

{Genevieve approached Shadow, her heart filled with gratitude for her loyal steed.}

{Genevieve, softly to Shadow} We're embarking on a journey, my friend. Please, lend me your strength and guidance.

{With Shadow now saddled and ready, Genevieve mounted him, her determination unwavering. She turned to Hanner one last time.}

{Genevieve} Thank you, Hanner, for everything. I'll return as soon as I can.

{Hanner} We'll be waiting and hoping for your safe return, Princess Genevieve.

{With those parting words, Genevieve and Shadow rode out of the stables and headed to the nearest Fairy Ring she could find. She stired Shadow towards the edges of the royal garden and to a old Oak tree where a mighty Fairy Ring made of toadstools stood proud and tall. As Genevieve and Shadow approached the ancient Fairy Ring beneath the old Oak tree, she felt a surge of anticipation and magic coursing through her. The toadstools forming the ring seemed to glow with an otherworldly light, beckoning her to step within.

With a deep breath and a touch of her necklace, the enchanted portal responded to her presence. The realm of the Fae shimmered and shifted, and in the blink of an eye, Genevieve found herself standing in the familiar moors of Scotland. The vibrant and mystical landscape surrounded her, a stark contrast to the ethereal beauty of Fairyland.}

{Genevieve} Come on Shadow lets get to my familys mansion.

{She gently nudges Shadow into a gallop as they gallop across the moor.}

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

{Bella looked out across the garden, the worry for her sister, Genevieve, evident in her eyes. The familiar time when Genevieve, her husband Ash, and their daughter Elara would usually appear had come and gone, yet there was no sign of them. Wallace, Bella's grandfather, joined her, placing the newspaper on the table.}

{Wallace} Still no sign of Genevieve and that elf, hm?

{Bella sighed, her concern deepening.}

{Bella} No, grandfather. Nothing yet.

{As Bella and Wallace conversed, Prudence and Minerva approached, their parasols perched on their shoulders. They too shared in the growing worry.}

{Minerva} This is not like her.

{Prudence nodded in agreement, her expression mirroring the concern etched on Bella's face.}

{Prudence} You're right, Minerva. Genevieve is always punctual. I can't help but fear that something may have gone wrong.

{The garden, usually a place of serenity and joy, now held an air of tension and unease. The absence of Genevieve and her family weighed heavily on their hearts, leaving them all longing for any sign that their loved ones were safe. The tension in the garden reached its peak as the family gathered around, their hearts pounding with anticipation. The absence of Genevieve and her family had left a void, and they longed for any sign of their loved ones' safety. As a neigh rang out, breaking the eerie silence, Bella stood up abruptly, her senses alert. Without hesitation, she declared her intent.}

{Bella} I'll go meet her.

{As Bella reached the gate that led to the meadow, she was met by the sight of Shadow galloping up from the hill. Her heart lifted at the sight of the loyal steed, but her joy was tinged with worry as she noticed that Ash and Elara were not with him. Something was amiss. Bella's concern deepened as Genevieve dismounted from Shadow, her eyes red from crying. She rushed forward to embrace her sister, her voice filled with both relief and worry.}

{Bella, embracing Genevieve} Genevieve, you're back! But where is Ash? Where is Elara? What happened?

{Genevieve crying} Elara is she with you sister?

{Bella} No she isn't. Genevieve, what's wrong?

{Genevieve} Elara she is missing.

{Bella shocked} Missing how?

{Genevieve} We went to visit the merfolk for a meeting, and we set camp up on the beach. But in the morning Elara was gone.

{As Bella listened in horror to Genevieve's account of Elara's disappearance, her heart sank at the thought of the young girl, who had always been a beacon of joy and light in their lives, now missing. She understood the urgency of the situation and knew that they needed to act quickly.}

{Bella, determined} I'm so sorry to hear that, Genevieve. We'll notify everyone, including Aunt Bonny. They need to know about this right away.

{Genevieve nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and hope.}

{Genevieve} Yes, with Aunt Bonny's help, we might be able to find Elara. Let's go and inform everyone.

{Bella led Genevieve towards the gate, ready to share the news of Elara's disappearance with their family and friends. As Genevieve turned to bid farewell to Shadow, the loyal steed remained steadfast, a silent guardian, as if understanding the importance of the task at hand.}

{Genevieve} Stay here, boy. I'll be back as soon as I can.

{Shadow snorts at this as he starts to graze. As Genevieve and Bella walked through the gate and into the garden, their family gathered there turned their attention toward them, initially wearing warm smiles of welcome. However, those smiles quickly faded as they noticed the exhaustion, stress, and sadness etched on Genevieve's face. Wallace's protective instincts flared, and he voiced his concern with a hint of anger in his voice.}

{Wallace} If that Elf has done something to Genevieve, I swear I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget.

{Young Theodore, always curious and eager, piped up with his innocent inquiry.}

{Theodore} Where is the elf, Great Grandfather?

{But their hopeful anticipation turned to dismay as they realized that it was just Bella and Genevieve returning, with no sign of Ash and, more importantly, no sign of Elara. Genevieve's eyes welled with tears as she faced her concerned family, their questions echoing the worry that weighed on her heart.}

{Minerva, her voice filled with concern} Genevieve, my daughter, where is the Prince and your daughter?

{Wallace, his tone protective} Did he do something to you, my granddaughter?

{Genevieve took a deep breath, her voice trembling as she tried to explain the situation.}

{Genevieve} Mother, Father, Grandfather, Grandmother, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters it's not what you think. We were visiting the merfolk for a meeting, and we set up camp on the beach for the night. But when morning came, Elara was... she was gone. I searched everywhere, but Ash and I can't find her. She has disappeared.

}Tears streamed down Genevieve's cheeks as she recounted the harrowing events, her family's concern turning to shock and sorrow}

{Minerva, her voice gentle} Oh, Genevieve, this is a terrible ordeal. We must do everything in our power to find her.

{Wallace, his expression stern} We'll leave no stone unturned until Elara is safely back with us.

{Genevieve's eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at her family, touched by their unwavering support during this difficult time.}

{Genevieve} Thank you, all of you.

{Zeeland, always a source of reassurance, spoke with determination.}

{Zeeland} Don't worry, sister. If Elara is here, we'll find her, and when we do, we'll send Acorn to fetch you.

{Genevieve nodded, her heart warmed by her brother's words.}

{Genevieve} Thank you, brother. Your help means the world to me.

{Minerva, her voice filled with maternal determination} We'll start searching immediately. Every corner of Scotland and England will be scoured until we find Elara.

{Demetrius, his voice unwavering} She won't be gone for long. We'll bring her home, safe and sound.

{Wallace's stern expression softened with grandfatherly concern as he placed a comforting hand on Genevieve's shoulder.}

{Wallace, his voice gentle} We'll leave no stone unturned, Genevieve. You have our word.

{With a sense of unity and purpose, they began to plan their search, determined to bring Elara back to the family where she belonged. The garden, once filled with worry, was now a place of determination and hope, as they all rallied together to face the unknown and reunite their family.}

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

{In the shadowy chamber of Sablethorn and Nocturnia within the castle of Shadows, the malevolent pair watched with sinister satisfaction as Genevieve spoke to her family and Ash, who had embarked on a search for Elara. Nocturnia's laughter, filled with a wicked delight, echoed through the chamber.}

{Nocturnia, sneering} They can search and search some more, but their precious daughter is gone at last.

{Sablethorn, a dark smile playing on his lips, nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with malevolence.}

{Sablethorn, his voice cold} Yes, my dear. The little princess is lost in the realms of shadow, and her family's futile efforts will only lead them deeper into despair.

{As they continued to watch the crystal ball, the malevolent pair reveled in the anguish of Genevieve's family, fully aware that their sinister plans were unfolding just as they had intended. As Sablethorn and Nocturnia reveled in their sinister satisfaction, a knock on the chamber door interrupted their gloating. They turned their attention toward the entrance as Nixon,the loyal dark elf servant and head, entered the room.}

{Sablethorn} Argh Nxion, how is our little Starlessia doing?

{Nixon, always dutiful, provided his report with a bow of his head.}

{Nixon} Princess Starlessia is making progress, my Lord. She has begun her training in the ways of the shadows, and her powers are developing as expected.

{Sablethorn's eyes gleamed with satisfaction at the news.}

{Sablethorn} Excellent. She must embrace her destiny fully, for she is the key to our supremacy.

{Nocturnia, her voice dripping with a dark enthusiasm, added her thoughts.}

{Nocturnia} With the princess's powers at our disposal, the Shadow Court will rise to its rightful place of dominance. And the moment she claims her place on the throne we be free of the curse. Nxion how is the making of Starlessia’s throne going?

{Nixon nodded in response to her inquiry.}

{Nixon} The throne for Princess Starlessia is nearing completion, my Lady. The finest craftsmen of the Shadow Court have been working tirelessly to ensure it meets all the requirements for her eventual ascension.

{Sablethorn leaned forward, his eyes filled with ambition.}

{Sablethorn} Once the throne is ready and Starlessia's training is complete, nothing will stand in our way. The shadows will be ours to command.

{Nocturnia's eyes gleamed with anticipation, her voice laced with malevolence.}

{Nocturnia} And the curse that has bound us for far too long will finally be broken.

{As they reveled in their imminent victory, the malevolent pair remained unaware of the determination and love that fueled Genevieve and Ash’s quest to find Elara and bring her back home. The battle between light and shadow was about to reach an all new high and the fate of Elara hung in the balance.}
