Jamie Isaac Colin Dani and Sam + having a party

So, I’m thinking an improvised surprise party for Colin. It’s his birthday and he’s gotten proper congratulations from all of his teammates (even from Dani, who’s learned his lesson about not just putting tiny heart on other peoples’ messages), but he was supposed to spend the evening with Michael, going to a romantic restaurant and having too many cocktails and shit. Only, Michael’s on a work trip and gets delayed on his way back so now Colin’s all alone, missing his boyfriend and feeling a little sad on his birthday.

Somehow Jamie cottons onto this fact – maybe he’s been pestering Colin for pictures of his outfit because he wants to offer sage fashion advice (that Colin would absolutely ignore) – and immediately asks himself what this situation needs, and comes to the conclusion that it needs him, Isaac, Dani and Sam showing up at Colin’s door in fancy clothes with booze and food from Ola’s and a playlist to kill for. Maybe some sort of disco ball blinking light thing.

It’s just the four of them, because Sam pointed out that it’s not fair to bring the whole team in case Colin doesn’t actually feel like partying – it’d become a huge, loud thing, and that much harder to say no to. If it’s just Jamie, Isaac, Dani and Sam, Colin will be able to tell them to piss off if he’s not in the mood (and it can also turn into a quiet night of just hanging out if that’s what Colin wants).

Colin doesn’t tell them to piss off, though. He’d been moping around, too busy feeling a little sorry for himself to even call Isaac (because you know his BFF Isaac would have been there for a game of FIFA or whatever Colin wanted if Colin had but asked), but now that they’re here, he’s both happy and touched to see them. Dani makes the drinks while Sam hands out the food; they put on the music; they turn on the blinking lights from the disco ball thing; Jamie pulls Colin onto the makeshift dance floor.

There’s a lot of singing along very loudly to a lot of haflway corny songs. There’s a lot of laughter and all of trying to teach each other dance moves. Heated discussions about things that don’t really matter, and quiet talk of the things that do. Maybe there even is some FIFA, eventually. Jamie, on a different scheduel than the rest, falls asleep with his head in Dani’s lap.

Later, when the party’s winding down and Dani and Sam has taken Jamie home, Isaac sits down next to Colin on the stairs. “You all right, bruv?”

“Yeah. This was… It was great. Thank you.”

“Yeah. Any time. We got you, you know that.”

And Colin smiles. He knows.

also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.

there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.

you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.

but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.

For many of years I had this tradition of drawing Wirt and the beast once a year to see how much I have improved, then depression hit in 2023 and couldn't continue, but it left so really amazing art in the process
