no because you don't GET IT

[vole-mon-amour]

So, what if when Arthur says "Go to your family!", John actually says, "You are my family!" What if Arthur knows it, and still wants him, but there's no life for them, not anymore, and Arthur holding back all the people that chase them because it's the last thing he can do for John as his declaration of love for him? What if "Go to your family and be a god damn man!" is his "I know, god damn it, I know! There's no saving me, so man up and go live a life with your son and a woman that gave you him. C'mon!"? What if it hurts both too much, but there's nothing to be done? What then?

"Arthur saved my life before he passed. I don't talk about him very much. But I think about him."

P.S.: "Take a gamble that love exists and do a loving act." So he did.

"I.. feel like I have every time have seen you smile m-memorized. Does that- is that too much? Know how selfish it is, but ev-every time that, I've been the one earning that from you? It's.." A clipped exhalation hides a purr but gives away how they've been holding their breath. "It's so.. much."

So softly apologetic, yet still daring to be hopeful. They can't help the smile that tugs at their mouth or the way it communicates the exact same thing.

"I always.. I want--" Want. Want, so much want. Fuck. They raise a hand to their forehead, half-hiding their eyes and dipping their head to a bashful tilt.

"I want to be, ssomething that helps keep this feeling manageable, ffor you .. way that- way that you have, for me."

He feels comfortable around them. That's a hard thing to say, and a rare thing, but it's true. Still, he feels a need to censor himself, a creeping shame that they ever saw him smile at all; emotion is not becoming of him. He does as he's told. If he's not told to do anything, he snouts out orders like a truffle pig. The only thing he has to be happy about is a job well done. But sometimes. the shame isn't alone. This one comes with a relief that they see him at all; that he's seen at all. Being caught in the act of pretending to be something he isn't is worth it, if it means he could be caught in the act of doing something right for once.

"Better you...earn it...than anyone else."

what you're seeing is a mistake. It won't happen again. He knows it will. It's been happening more and more frequently. Some people would say it's because the clouds are parting. Jean would not.

"Keep what manageable?" Earnest enough, but borne of not feeling anything at all, this impossibility he's still clinging to after twenty years of freedom. His fingerprints have rubbed smooth from it. "I don't need you to help manage anything."

But that's not to say he doesn't need them at all.

"...I do need you to stay." He's seen that urge to pick up and flee in them, if only because he gets the urge himself, even now, when he's in so deep. The I've taken too much, I've brought too much hurt, I have to go before I make it worse. Jean dares to look them in the eyes a moment, before forcing his gaze elsewhere, reforming what he's going to say until it's less about what he needs, "Teddy. The kids. They're happier when you're around. You bring a life out in them."

that I don't. Both his hands are on one of theirs before he even really knows he's doing it, but blessedly he sticks with the impulse, not letting go.

"You don't have to worry about what you can do for me. Just...be here. Don't go."

i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

the curse of summer is buying and eating an inadvisable amount of fruit in single sittings.

if i was a popular minecraft youtuber id just tweet "hey guys stop drawing shipping fanart of me and my friends/coworkers, i only fucked one of them and seeing me paired with anyone else is kinda weird and crosses my boundaries" and then i'd turn my phone off

[kedreeva]

I offered to come check on my friend's animals while she's away for the long weekend

She thinks I'm joking

But I'm ready

[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories

[redstonedust]

in general i dont think fandom tattoos are a bad idea but i think u need to at least give yourself like a two year buffer from the end of that piece of media before you commit. like if someone told me "yeah im obsessed with hazbin hotel rn so im gonna get a hazbin hotel tattoo" id be like woah okay maybe put a pin in that idea for later. but if someone told me "yeah i read homestuck in its prime and i still love it so im gonna get a homestuck tattoo" id be like well fair enough its been like eight years. if you still like it now you'll probably still have fond memories of it in 20 years. you do you.
