i know a lot of people say mingyu is so boyfriend coded, but i like pain and i want to challenge that idea by saying; mingyu is so ex-boyfriend coded.
he was the boyfriend you dated when you two were far too young to understand how relationships should be - maybe even first loves.
it was a relationship that ended because love isn't enough – because when you date someone that young, you two were still figuring out who you were and what part you played in the world.
mingyu was the ex boyfriend that you broke up with under the terms of 'mutual understanding', but god does it fucking hurt every now and then. especially the very first time you heard of him moving on.
she's amazing, by the way. the girl that he showed hints of on his instagram posts. and from what you've heard, she's everything he has ever asked for in a partner... maybe even more.
but that's besides the point. it's not like you want him back.
mingyu's the ex boyfriend you would occasionally check up on social media and see how much his features has matured – his cheekbones and jaw are much more prominent. he also gained that muscle mass he had always talked about when you two dated.
it was strange seeing him now, because although he looked familiar – pieces of the boy you once loved still very much evident whenever he posted images or videos of him smiling and laughing, he was nothing but a stranger.
his taste of music has changed, so has his style... the way he posted was no longer carefree.
you would occasionally watch the vlogs he posted, just to hear his voice again. not in a way where you missed him as a boyfriend... but as a friend.
his laugh still sounded the same, the way he got excited for meals was still very much how you remembered – but there was something different and you can't quite put a finger on what it was.
in the moments stillness, when you couldn't help but think back at how life was before you had reached your goals – your mind would wander back to mingyu. in moments when you are unable to get a full grasp of reality, you allow yourself back to the sense of familiarity – the one that once had him present.
seeing your past in the eyes of someone who you only knew behind your screen is a weird sensation but when the days felt long, and the world felt cold, he somehow made that uneasiness you felt at the pit of your stomach feel like home.
you don't dare to reach out, you two have grown past that.
the occasional updates from mutual friends in passing was more than enough.
mingyu was all just a part of your past after all.

MARCH '24 COOPERATIVE SELF CARE CHALLENGE
whew, that was close! results are in:
say it with me, everyone:
i pledge to do something physical every day this month!!
set a daily physical goal for yourself that fits your health and your body right now. it should be SMALL and EASY. something your brain will be hard-pressed to find an excuse not to do. here are some examples:
stretch or do yoga for a few minutes every morning when you wake up
spend at least ten minutes outside every day
go for a short walk every day
do a mini exercise routine every day (like this one which requires no equipment)
practice a skill or hobby that uses multiple parts of your body
work on a physical project such as gardening or home improvement
you can also set larger goals for this month, if you want! that could mean joining a sport or signing up for martial arts classes or learning a new active skill or hiking at a national park
-----
personally, im committing to stretch every morning. i want to improve my balance and flexibility so i can get better at rope dart (and just scampering around in g eneral). im also going to try to go outside every day though!
i will reblog this post every morning when i stretch and probably again later whenever i touch grass. if you would like to be tagged for reminders at one or both of these times, please let me know!
-----
be completely free to reblog any version of this post. i want it to be a monstrous, snarled, sprawling tree of self-love and encouragement by the end of the month. challenge your mutuals to join!
if you miss a day, that's okay! this isn't some all or nothing tiktok trial. the goal is to build healthy habits to improve your physical and mental health.
and in case somebody didn't get the memo: THIS IS A MENTAL HEALTH SKILL. mental wellness and physical activity are INEXTRICABLY linked. being inactive is a MAJOR contributor to depression. if your life sucks, getting out of bed and going outside isn't going to make you feel good- but it IS going to make you feel LESS BAD.
-----
if you voted for something else: sorry! you're still encouraged to challenge yourself however you want to this month- its your life- and you're welcome to still hang around this post and brag about your daily accomplishments! or you can always start your own chain- its free :o
and hey, if not ill be back next month with another poll ^^

I like to imagine if levi (canon au whatever you like) had a child and they turn out to be as particular as he is. Maybe you show your toddler finger paints and they absolutely hate that shit on their hands. Making a sour face the entire time your covering the kids hand to stamp it on paper because you wanna remember how tiny their hands once were.
Or when you go to a beach they will absolutely HATE the sand, demand you wash it off immediately the best way a toddler is capable of. Don’t even get met started on eating with their hands. They absolutely refuse to dip their hands in the cake you got them for the purpose of smashing it on their first birthday. Making a stink face when you show them what to do and they see the frosting on your hands.
