#there is only bite left

[ahollowgrave]

Bark (noun): the sound made by a barking dog. // a bite worse than her bark.

The longer you are at this convent the more you lose.

It is not all bad, but --

Cutting your hair was difficult. You know it was for the best. You know it was too matted and too dirty and had little bugs in it that made the Mother look sick. (Something you noted. For later.) And Sister Kindness let you cut her hair first. Now, you compare the length of the new growth in a conspiratorial fashion. 

It is not all bad, but --

You snap less. You no longer bite and kick and scratch. You are learning your chores. You feel pride when Sister Kindness praises the care you give the sheep and the garden. You’ve packed up every cuss word you have ever known (even the very funny ones) and they no longer pass your lips. You still shout and holler but you know when it is appropriate.

Your hair is long enough to braid, again.

You bring flowers for the dinner table. 

It is not all bad, but --

Menphina’s loving embrace is ice cold and when you reach for her you are lost in the steam that comes with contact; Her Love against the white-hot heat of your fear-tinged anger. 

You come away each time feeling the heat less and less but you worry -- does this mean Her Love diminishes as well?

Worry so quickly turns to agitation and agitation to fear and fear to anger.

It is not all bad, but --

You can feel it beneath your skin. Not the white-hot anger you are used to but something more. Something precise and sharp and clear.  Something that builds and builds and builds and there is no release, no relief. You can only smile and nod and laugh while something cold burrows into your chest. It is a tension in your heart and each pump of the muscle threatens to snap it. A creature that gives no warning before it bites is a dangerous one.

jason's 13 years at the super disciplined camp and several years as a leader of said camp mean it is very unlikely that he is any shade of feral, except for maybe a few minor idiosyncracies that all camp jupiter kids have because they all spent time at the wolf house, but since they all have these traits, they might be considered cultural rather than feral. however, annabeth chase, who was famously left alone until she was seven and was raised by an ancient greek horse man that used to live alone on a mountain, a barely sober god of mental illness, several other mythical beings based on animals, and approximately 37 different traumatized, exhausted, and desperate teenagers at an unregulated summer camp where she learned how to be scary by studying greek monsters, would definitely be somewhere near feral.

Last Unicorn quote stuck out to me so I gave it to Spider-Fox

(the only person willing to be your friend and he didn't show up until long after you already lost all trust in other people)

I was trying to eat noodles neatly and for some reason I got sad midway. So I drew them messy eating a biscuit and a strawberry to combat sad noodle blues.

Noticing that TV and film will often have a character either have had an abortion in the past that isn't showcased on screen (and just used as part of the character's ~fucked up and twisted backstory~) OR contemplate getting an abortion in the present day but not to through with it. Just once I want to see someone delete that fetus within the events of the plot and not be like. Extremely majorly punished for it and/or be in the wrong

The best thing about Italy and Europe is that linen just- exists here. I can go buy a shitty cheap 100% linen dress like I would go to Fry's and buy a shitty cheap 100% polyester dress in America. Absolutely revolutionary for my wardrobe. I can't actually buy wardrobe enhancements because I have a carry-on suitcase, but the fact I still have the option is amazing.
