So much love and recognition to the people who don't know how they feel about recovering. To the people whose scars are fading away, and there's a sinking feeling, despite knowing that it's a good thing. To the people who miss when they were "worse," when they felt "broken." To the people who mourn losing their coping mechanisms, even the ones that were destructive, scary, or unpleasant. To those who feel guilty they're healing because their past self wasn't ready.
Whatever it is, there is nothing wrong with any of those feelings. It's a natural reaction, something you don't have ultimate control over. There is nothing shameful about yourself, and I admire the strength it takes to recognize how you feel, even the parts that do feel like the "wrong" reaction to a Good Thing.

snowbaird snowbaird snowbaird something something the way he acts ( manipulative, i hate you) influences the way Lucy Gray reacts to him (manipulative, affectionnate).because she such a snake and songbird but mostly snake with him. they're both master manipulator. (not the same but in the same time very much so) but then.then she plays him so well its so sweet. snowbaird snowbaird coriolanus and the way Lucy Gray interacts with him. manipulates him.loves him. it's harsh. it's hard loving him still. but sometimes there is some honesty in all of that ...

I have another gig in a week and I'm so nervous 😭 I get paid hundreds of dollars for only five hours of work, but it is so nerve-racking and the work environment is so stressful, like literally every time I'm there I'm on the verge of tears or I have to take a 2 minute break before the show starts just to run to the restrooms and cry bc I get so stressed out. And then when I clock out I just cry my eyes out in my car while driving home. But hey!!! Hundreds of dollars!!! For five or six hours of my time!!! Only a few days a month!!! Hundreds!!! Of dollars!!! So it would be totally stupid to quit.
I wouldn't have been able to afford pampering myself on my last two F/O anniversaries (and currently placing an order for a rose bouquet for Six's anniversary for the 18th) if I didn't have this second job... but if it didn't pay me such a large amount of money each time, I probably would have quit by now bc it makes me so damn anxious. The show isn't even for one week and I'm sitting here stressing about it! I have one thousand other things to stress about and this job shouldn't be one of 'em 😤
I just keep trying to think about Ken hugging me while saying "Aw, sweet girl, don't be nervous! You JUST started this job, you've only worked three shows -- you think you're gonna be perfect your first try?? You're gonna be so good once you get the hang of it. Just look at me! I've been doing Beach for 62 years now, and I still don't know what my job is supposed to be... but I know I look So Cool™ 😎"

considering how insane the coma theory is i am EXTREMELY curious to know what comashipping refers to
Ash/Paul! I'm actually unsure of the origins of its name? I know it refers to the coma theory, but I'm actually unsure of how that ties into Paul and Ash being a romantic ship lmao. I know a lot about pokemon ships, but the lore of that one evades me. Anybody here know why it's called that?

Anyone else out there have a deep fucking fear of big ships? I saw a video of someone dropping a GoPro into the ocean from the side of a cruise ship, and when I saw the underside of the cruise ship I literally threw my phone across the room reflexively. When I picked it up it took me several attempts to close out of the video bc every time I looked at the screen I gagged 💀.
One time at the beach when I was like 11 I saw a huge cargo ship in the distance, and I remember when I took in the size of it on the horizon and compared it to some wind turbines which were much closer, I felt deeply unsettled and had to sit down for a while.
The ocean doesn't scare me. Marine life does not scare me. Big boats though? I will literally throw up. Wind turbines and oil rigs are also awful abominations against God when placed into deep water.

While I don't know much about it, I would probably bet there are tons of issues with the cruise industry that would make me not actually appreciate it broadly speaking - HOWEVER, I do really love a lot of the interior design of some cruise ships.. How it's almost like a miniature city crammed into one area. Multiple sections with all different aesthetic designs, a variety of shops, restaurants, activity centers, community seating areas, communal use spaces (like gyms, laundry, pools, cafeteria/buffet (which I always love anywhere)), etc. etc. but then also everyone has a little nice clean comfortable looking space of their own to retreat back to if they'd like to be alone. Maybe it's something akin to the idea of 'walkable cities', where everything you could ever want to do is kind of right there just a short walk away? I also especially love how so much stuff is stacked on top of other stuff, a layered cluster of spaces, bright open atriums, and when they're set up with little walkways down the center between a bunch of rooms so it's almost like a mini city street with apartments lining it, etc.. They often seem like they'd be SUCH a cool place to live permanently, IF only something identical was just built on solid land instead lol
