#I almost forgot it was Thursday

Tangled Web (chapter 7) - Throwback Thursday edition

A birthday party, a crush revealed, and a thing that happens when Saturn acts out. There's just something about her eyes...

Random note: I'm editing from the original .doc file, and I could tell the moment I switched word processors because the formatting halfway into the chapter changed. That made for some interesting editing this chapter.

“Haruka.”

Some of her grin fell away as she sat up on the bed and crossed her legs.  It was amazing how much could be conveyed in the tone of one word as it fell from Michiru’s lips.  Anger, passion, amusement, the occasional bit of jealousy, the change in moods often subtle, but always there in the way she said ‘Haruka.’

Rather deftly interpreting Michiru’s tone this time to mean ‘we need to talk about something that will potentially make you unhappy,’ Haruka’s arms crossed in preparation of the conversation.

Michiru set her brush down and moved over to sit at the foot of the bed.  Lips still tinged in a delicate shade, she smiled in a calming way before she began to speak.  But as she went on in a slow, even manner about what had happened between Hotaru and Kyo, Haruka’s frown deepened.

“Did he try anything?” asked Haruka unhappily.

“Nothing as far as I know,” answered Michiru.  “I suppose he realized there wasn’t much he could do, other than seek answers from a safe source.”

Haruka snorted.  “As long as he keeps it to himself.  Besides, he had it coming to him.  And I’m surprised you’re punishing her like that, after everything you said about him.”

“I’m only going to do enough to impress my point,” answered Michiru.  “After she finishes helping me pack, she can go play with the others.”

Her lips pursed, and Haruka studied Michiru’s features for a moment.  “There’s something more bothering you,” she said.  “You think I’m not taking it seriously enough?  Because I do know that part of our responsibility to Hotaru is to teach her responsibility, and maybe I am being too careless about this.  If you want me to talk to her, too…”

“That’s not it,” replied Michiru with a slight shake of her head.  “I believe her when she says it was an accident, and knowing she put Ami in the position she did, as well as the harm it could do to the others, will be enough to give her pause if a moment like this comes up again.  There was something else, though.”

Her voice trailed off for several seconds as she reflected on what had been said.  And what hadn’t.  Her voice softer and edged in uncertainty, she went on, “Hotaru kept something from me, Haruka, and it frightens me a bit, because whatever it was seemed to pain her greatly.  It’s also made me fear that in trying so hard to ease Hotaru’s burden, we may have overlooked the other member of our family.”

Scooting forward on the bed, Haruka moved so she could put her arms around Michiru.  Pulling her into a warm embrace, she whispered, “We do as much as Setsuna will allow us to do.  She’s always going to be guarded, Michiru.  But she’s just a little less guarded with us, so we can be there when she needs us to be.  You know we can’t force things with her.”

Michiru leaned into the embrace and nodded in acknowledgement.  Yet the hidden presence of so many secrets and half truths tickled at her mind.  How many were there, she wondered, both in this house and her own.

Another oldie from 2022 (this time with the actual watermark of that year haha) was one of my first attempts at finding a style to use for these characters. I don't use this type of proportions anymore but I still like that bold and almost shaky lineart!

This week, it was especially difficult to puzzle workouts into my schedule, so I'm really excited to enjoy myself in the brief moments I could scoop out, making the most of it!! And, of course, continuing to stretch. I really started looking forward to my evening stretches... <3!

In case the suggestion doesn't feel right for that day, here are some alternatives (12 minutes or less, can also be used as add-ons). No shame in taking it slow! Let's move according to our needs! :) nightime flexibility stretches // bedtime yoga stretch to release stress & tension // 8 min beginner's ballet flexibility. // 10 min | Beginner Belly Dance Workout | Slow & Smooth Tutorial // 15 min Gentle Pilates Workout For Beginners

First night went okay. I just had a hard time falling asleep because I was covered in goosebumps. Heat can cause more skin irritation, so the specialist advised me not to turn on my heated blanket.

Today will be another 'sit as still as possible on the couch and crochet to distract myself' kind of day.

Countdown: 22 hours until removal of the patches.

Me, yesterday, 5:30 PM: wow I’m honestly doing so great at my adult tasks; I’ve gotten some homework done, I went grocery shopping, my laundry is almost dry. I spent so many spoons and I barely feel tired! Maybe I’m finally fully recovering from burnout!

Me, yesterday, 6:00 PM: oh.

About ten minutes later, King Graham walked past the room. He froze mid step, then walked backward past the door again, staring at the bizarre tableau in the sitting room. No1 was standing in the middle of the room, arms crossed, looking like he was regretting every single decision he’d ever made in his life, while Rosella clung to his leg, pretending to bite it. No2 was running across the room holding onto a curtain rope as though he was swinging on it, and Alexander was supervising the whole thing from a pile of cushions in the corner, an audience of one.

“What are you doing?”

☎️ from the horrific headcanons ask meme.

"How would they react receiving a phone call from a deceased loved one?"

Any muse! ^u^

Cyrus: ...Stanley, I don't have a favorite scary movie... Yes, I know you're dead... That's the point I'm trying to make, Stanley, that we're already living in one.

Thursday: ...Hey, if you're dead, how exactly are you calling me right now? ...Are you a ghost? ...Great! We have lots of those over here in the office! Come on over and we'll have a ghost party!

Stanley: I'm dead too - welcome to the club. ...Yeah, come on over, my Narrators are throwing a ghost party.

432: ...They’re throwing a ghost party? ...I guess I’ll show up.
