I'm sorry

I'm sorry that I can't just believe you when you say forever

I'm sorry that I can't just believe when you tell me it will be ok

I'm sorry that I can't believe you when you tell me that you love me

I'm sorry that I can't just believe you when you tell me I'm not a monster

I'm sorry that I can't just believe you when you tell me that I can do this

I'm sorry that I call you my friend and never believe you

I'm sorry that I can't ever trust you

I'm sorry that I can't ever pay you back the kindness I take for granted

I'm so sorry my friend for expecting so much from you

When I know you're hurting or lost or scared

I'm sorry the hell that you put yourself in just so that I feel even a little bit better.

I'm so for being so cruel

dolphins

my mother and i love the ocean; the salt satiates my mind instead of the thoughts i let consume me. one time, when i was little, she took me to a pier, and we spontaneously got on a cruise just to get closer to the sea. but no matter what i did that brisk winter's day, an uncanny looming sensation would not leave my fragile mind. at the tender age of 13, i realised that a fear of death prevents the living from feeling alive. to me, it was a persistent stench that hung in the air. sometimes it felt like the nagging thought that someone is behind you when you walk alone. you start to wonder what the path of life should look like, and if stumbling through it was the intended design. hand in hand with my mother, she pulled me towards the worn banister railing of the ship. the wood bended in unnatural curves, as many an eager eye had yearned for a sight of something rare. she enlightened me as she pointed to the dolphins, as if her instincts whispered that they would be there. "when you feel scared about life, think about this cruise. when we left the pier, you never thought about the end of the journey right? you only thought about the dolphins. their elegance, grace and how beautifully they swim in the water. i bet you even wished them to gleam hello to you!" my mother then got down on my level and swept me into her gentle, maternal wings. "life's meaning is like the dolphins. you'll miss the moments if you keep thinking about the end."

"Aro/Ace person gets given a love potion" story but instead of them being immune or whatever, it DOES work, and they realize IMMEDIATELY that they've been fed a love potion because this feeling is so wrong and foreign but everyone keeps laughing off the idea of it being a love potion because "they were probably just a late bloomer" or "no, you just finally found the right person!" and it's just a horror story about how no one believes them even though they know, they KNOW this isn't right and they can't stand it.

has this been done

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

Carol Holiday I see you and I hear you but you're not only hurting yourself but hurting the only ones you have left in the pursuit of someone that may be long gone and trying to get control over everything so you never lose anything again

ID: art of carol holiday. theres a photo of her carrying noelle with rudy, and dess is at the front, blurred out. then a dark drawing of carol with her arms folded and face covered in shadow. a third drawing depicting carols appearance through her life

1: bolder, warmer colors + jewelry

longer hair (that she braids sometimes)

2: neglected self care and appearance

cut hair short (similar length to dess)

3: muted colors. too strict on maintaining a perfect self presentation

only wears office clothing

the fourth drawing is a sketch of her grabbing little kris from toriel. she laughs, saying "fahaha! did you miss aunt carol, kris?" end ID

ID by @//nonbinarycollector !! Thank you so much!!

"So, how's the wife?"

"Ah yes, the old ball and chain."

"That's a little rude, don't you think?"

I pull out a wedding photo from my wallet and you see me at the altar across from a chain chomp with a pink bow.

I'd truly be the worst person to stick into a timeloop because I'd really just spend the first 5 years catching up on my book tbr, the next 7 on all the movies and shows that've Been On My List for ages, and then another decade on ao3. like sure nothing may stick but my memories will and i can just go into a supermarket to get snacks and wine each day, and i have art to indulge in. like thanks for the hints on how to get out but respectfully, I am busy

if you moralize to people in the global south about piracy youre going to hell btw. no atonement no take backsies. guaranteed hell forever permanently.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

I love that opera sits in this limbo where it's extremely well-known but not really beyond a surface level recognition, so you get commercials for makeup or whatever to the tune of the I Hate Women So Much It's Unreal aria
