#Rainy Journey

[rainystressed247]

After many years, I have finally reattempted a style challenge! This time I bring you the many dratists of the tumblr. They are lovely people with lovely styles and my wrist is very much in pain.

Of course, this is but a casual study so it is not a 100% accurate as to how they will do syndicate!Dream but hey, we have fun here. This is the perfect example that each artists have their own unique styles that are difficult to replicate! I learnt a lot from my fellow artists and as long as you can recognise the style when you squirt your eyes, I will count that as a win!

Happy Monday. Hope your bosses didn't schedule a 9:45 Monday Morning call for your whole team over the weekend without explanation.

My jogging routine has gone out the window in the last ten days (due to work circumstances), but I've at least compensated with a big hike.

When it's raining outside but you're determined to get your steps!

Spoiler: Not absolutely beginner friendly, IMO

This reminded me a lot of my old gym Step Cardio workouts! LOTS of coordination needed. I mean it! I spent a good chunk of time trying to figure out how to do the moves lol. It also requires a fairly good amount of stamina.

All in all, a really good workout but a bit too tough if you're just getting started or easing back into things.

"Exactly!" Yamez said, and he pointed at me harshly. "Nobody taught you! Because nobody knows! Because everyone is stupid, Shryth! But you most of all for listening to them!"

I scowled at him. "You shouldn't talk about people like that."

Yamez got low and screamed wordlessly in my face. I flinched, and then he turned and stomped away. I'd never seen him… act like that. He was so… stoic all the time….

"This was really healthy," Ohrik muttered, looking down and brushing some dirty water off of his side. He got up and followed Yamez. I watched them both as they walked for the village.

I wasn't stupid…. The grownups knew more than me. So I had to ask them things. And I had to listen to them.

But… but even after asking them things, I still didn't know much.

Eventually, I got up and followed Yamez.

I have been both Shryth and Yamez in this situation. @_@

The Firehouse AU spoilers // aka me breaking down over chapter 11

screaming crying and throwing up over :

“I wanted to save people. I never.. forgave myself. For not being able to save you."

.

"TK looks over at him with so much pain in his eyes. “So if you were gonna end up going to jail anyway, why the fuck did I have to be alone for 14 years!?"

.

"He walks over, stepping in front of TK and lowering himself down to his knees on the hardwood. TK sniffs and won’t look at him. Carlos slides his hands down TK’s forearms, tugging his hands out from where they’re trapped so he can hold them. He brings them to his mouth to kiss TK’s knuckles one by one. On his left hand, Carlos places a kiss directly to the tattoo on his fourth finger. “You didn’t ruin me,” Carlos murmurs. “Losing you ruined me. I loved you so much I spent every day for a year trying to get back to you. I didn’t end up here because you fucked me up. I ended up here because for 14 years, I was alone too.”

.

“I met my soulmate when I was eight years old and then I had to live half my life without him. That’s what fucked me up. I had to leave, and my heart was still stuck up on that fire escape on West 77th Street and I didn’t know how to keep being me without it. Without you.”

"but the evidence remains next to Carlos’s hip in a blue felt box that he’d never really carried on without him as much as he’d wished he could. Carlos knows so intimately what that’s like. All these years, TK’s felt like a ghost. Like Carlos was being followed around by the shadow of him, like he’d colored every place Carlos visited and decision he made and chance he didn’t take."

.

"The spark of risk dances on his skin. It’s a part of himself that he’s been missing for so long Carlos isn’t sure he was even aware it was gone..... He didn’t take risks after he lost TK. He didn’t enjoy keeping a secret, he didn’t push back, he lived quietly within the boundaries set for him by other people and never quite noticed what a muted existence it was"

.

“I should’ve done this the very first time with you,” Carlos says. “In your bedroom while your mom was at work. Figuring it out together, holding you if you were nervous. We should’ve been each other’s first everything."

.

"They were made for each other, he thinks. Crafted from the same stone, broken apart when they should always have been one. Everything went up in smoke and nothing happened the way it should have, but right now TK is in his arms. Kissing him, trusting him, asking for Carlos to connect them again."

them being flirty and playful. the stolen kisses behind closed doors, the winks and giggles and butterflies in stomach and smiles and memories and dozing off on the couch. them getting to have those private moments of sheer love amidst the heavy pain of the lost time and the impending doom of what's eventually coming. the contrast between tk wearing grey and yellow. carlos not trying to get info out of tk on his whereabouts and "instead, he kisses TK harder and drags him toward the bedroom" BECAUSE REUNITING WITH HIS FIRST AND THE ONLY LOVE OF HIS LIFE IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS. the achingly tender body worship. tk trying to cut down smoking, bc of carlos — because he now has something that makes him care. THEM ON THE FIRE ESCAPE and tk taking carlos' hands into his when he was silent for a minute to comfort him through getting vulnerable and carlos looking at their hands and thinking that they belong and complete each other. Carlos telling him how ruined and broken he was too all along. tk spiraling and breaking down and carlos kissing his knuckles and correcting him and comforting him with the truth. THEM AT TK'S PLACE. Carlos realising that tk's house is not a home because the reason that makes it so has been absent from tk's life when back then he used to have all of his favourite things all over the place. the BLUE MEMORY BOX and carlos seeing gwyn's face and how he once reassured his heartsick teenage heart that there was at least a gwyn back in new york loving her son fiercely when he can't do it himself anymore. and the only other memories in the box being JUST CARLOS and them sitting around reminders from their precious bitter-sweet history and carlos holding tk in his lap and carlos clasping his chain around tk's neck and wanting to tell him that he can keep all of him but he can't make a breakable promise. THE ARISTOCRATS and them talking about their first times and how it was all marked by each other’s absence. just like everything else......... I AM not FINE. i'm ruined!!!! beyond repair!!!! so so RUINED I'll never recover from this EVER

CAN THEY EVADE THE POLICE??!! RUN AWAY from the feds and from austin and EVERYTHING escape ALL THE MESS and go to paris... start what they should have had long long time ago. CAN CARLOS "SOMEDAY" PROMISE COME TRUE

I need to go lie down for 10 business days sob and wail into the void uncontrollably
