My old self-harm tricks are coming back into play. If I don't have anything to busy my hands with, my finger nails seek to create crescent-shaped bloodmarks into whatever patch of skin is easily accessible. I hate it.
Last night I had a particularly horrible meltdown. Something Joe (unintentionally) said and did triggered a memory, which happens to be my Achilles heel. Devon provided a distraction to help me calm down because otherwise I would have clawed myself to pieces. (Have I mentioned I fucking love him?) Afterward, Joe and I were able to come to an understanding. Things were normal from there.
This morning, though, I had a very stupid idea. I can't harm myself - it's not allowed - but I can harm something else. A punching bag, for example. But...Joe had told me a while ago that he was built like a tank. He could handle pain. So...I asked Joe if I could test my self-harm trick on him. He needed to be honest about how it felt, though.
Joe said yes.
I found the tenderest part of his arm and dug in as deep as I could. And then I pushed further - because if I couldn't feel it, I needed to at least mimic the muscle memory.
I asked him how he felt.
He blushed. "Honestly? Kinda turned on."
...The fuck?
He reminded me that he's a martial artist. He comes home from classes with massive, dark bruises all over his body for fun and is fine the next day.
He also reminded me that between his father and the woman who falsely accused him of sexual assault, his mind was a fortress. And then he said the magic words.
"There is literally nothing you can do that will hurt me. You've tried."
I just... How did I get so lucky to get two people who are literally perfect for me. I hate the idea of causing any sort of pain to anyone in my life, but fuck it. If they have strengths, I want to lean into them. Devon is Soft Boy. Joe is Tank. I need both of them to survive this world, it seems.
They are both getting so many kisses to make up for this, jfc.

thinking about Eunyung breaks my heart bc remember when he had a problem with stealing and managed to stop? but even then he still got accused of stealing and no one believed him when he said he didn't do it except for Haejoon?
or when he finally got a job at the restaurant aka a (somewhat) honest way to make money and afford to buy his own things? but he wasn't officially employed bc he's too young and got fucked over by his employer and got beat up by the guys at the playground during thanks giving when Haejoon spent days looking for him?
or when he the dorms filled up and he got that shitty roommate? the one he tried to get along with since the beginning but the mfer just wanted a room cleaner and free food? when Haejoon stepped in with the pan when the guy wanted to punch Eunyung?
<- these are all instances where Eunyung tried so hard to live a good and honest life, go on a straight path, be an upstanding citizen and a good person. every single time that shit blew up in his face royally and his efforts had gone to waste. he tried so hard and nothing came out of it. the mere thought makes pieces of my soul die.
---
this goes to show how hard it is to pull yourself out of where you started. the thing is, familiar things are magnetic. if you grew up surrounded by bad influences, you'll naturally gravitate towards them, no matter how hard you try get away, move on, do better. bc we naturally feel a pull towards things we're familiar with, things we know. think 'comfort zone', and how hard it is to get out of it.
that doesn't mean it is impossible to leave them behind, but it takes lots of time and effort, until you get used to the new good influences. until you learn to feel comfortable with what you're unfamiliar with.
you try, fail and try again. it's hard, but doable. when the universe throws lemons at you, you pick them up, squeeze them all into a water gun and shoot. aim for the eyes.

There’s a brief scene in Suicide Squad where they show Harley’s file and it says “24” so even younger! But yes she’s so smart😮💨
sidenote it’s honestly heartbreaking how young Harley was when she met the Joker
but god Harley is SO smart, from my google research she could’ve shaved a year or two off the training on certain courses but they’re more intensive, so studying to be a psychiatrist had to have been her entire life since she was sixteen, but I can fully believe it looking at Margot’s Harley? like she definitely has the determination and stubbornness to keep her mind on her goal, I can see her literally putting all of her focus into that until she’s achieved her PhD

As much as i hate the meme i cannot deny the fact that jaune is 100% a crayon eater
Like
The U.S. Marine Corps jokes about being big dumb and eating crayons?
I think Jaune is a different type of big and dumb. Hes super smart with strategy and critical thinking. Hes just also socially oblivious. Jaune's a Sokka

Hey, Feverface! How are you, uh, holding up? 😥
Feverface?
The big red monarch— normally so keen to offer his attention to others— doesn’t seem to hear your question. He stays where he is, his posture unchanging, his head unturned, and he speaks to himself in a continuous, unbroken stream. The words are hard to define, like an old imprint of a paw on a shoreline, made hazy and vague by the sands of time.
… What could he be saying?
