❌️, 😔, and 🥺 for vanessa!
"Man... do I have to? This is gonna get kinda heavy.
I mean. I'll do it! But sheesh."
❌️ - what's something you and s/i disagree on? is it anything big, or is it inconsequential?
"Oh, God. A lot of things? It doesn't help that he's got a big head and turns everything into an argument. He can be such a jackass sometimes.
Sorry! Got a bit off track, there. Uhh, for something specific...? I guess him and I see Dad differently from each other. It's a tough subject to bring up - he doesn't like to talk about him, especially not after he, uh... disappeared. So, I mean, it doesn't really cause any issues for us..."
😔 - what would life without s/i be like for you?
"...boring. Haha! Uh, that's only sort of a joke...
...to be honest with you, imagining life without him is... really, really strange. It's not like we grew up together, but... it feels like I've known him my whole life.
We could've never met. What if Dad had just picked a different kid? What if his own father hadn't been so awful to him? That's... weird to think about.
I don't want to think about it anymore. Bad. Life would be bad. Going through that alone would've destroyed me."
🥺 - if you knew today would be the last day you spoke to s/i, what would you say to them?
"Ah, but it looks like I have to think about it even more! Terrific.
God, um... I don't know. I wouldn't be able to fit all my feelings into words. I have so much I want to say to him. How can you fit 15 years into a single goodbye? I'm not good at articulating my emotions, either. I guess I'd just start with...
I'll miss you. You changed my life. I wish things could have gone differently for us.
And... maybe we can meet again in a better life."

absolutely obsessed with the idea of timbern being super secretive over bear's time in the cult.
on one hand, bear is wildly insecure of his scars from the cult. cause it's not like he fucking got them saving the city or helping someone, he was just stupid enough to get sucked into a cult. (a voice in the back of his head that sounds a lot like his therapist and tim tell him that kids are supposed to be stupid and that his time in the cult is more a reflection of the adults in his life than his own choices) anyway his back and legs are like a mess of scarring and normally he'd just tattoo over them but scars have to be a certain age before they're tattooable. so he now just covers them up.
on the other hand, tim is insanely protective over bear's traumas. like if he got any more protective he'd be like certified deranged. so he just straight up dodges or lies about bear's backstory. anyway all this to say, they're hanging out in the pool at the manor and nobody but them ws supposed to be home. so bear thinks it's safe to take off his shirt. they're both having fun until someone says behind bear, "dude... what happened to your back?" cue tim lunging at them like a rabid dog and bear struggling to hold tim back going "tim, tim, what the fuck, what the fuck????"

"Mettaton looked (...) really cool in that dress. It sort of makes me feel like I could wear one, too!"

So my life is feeling like its on an upward swing since this is my final semester for my associates, I'm starting a new job real soon and also possibly have a really nice remote job if I hear back from a few places I recently applied to.
And it always terrifies me when good stuff starts happening.
Change is really hard for me especially when it feels like its all at once. With better pay comes the opportunity to leave my parent's house finally and move in with a girl who has lovingly stolen my heart. With my school behind me I can find better jobs even!
But at the same time, its just. So scary for me. What if I can't keep up my part of rent. What if my chronic pain or ADHD or other disabilities put a strain on someone I love to my core, and I end up making things worse because I get extremely emotional and will scream (at myself mostly) and panic during these high stress times (especially if money is involved)
I've had a 'safety net' of family members who barely tolerate the fake me I present myself as, and I know my mental health is going to be so much better when I'm not around them, but at the same time I need so much help sometimes. Family just happens to help in terms of shelter and food. It also doesn't help that the one other time I moved out it ended so so poorly that I'm still working through that trauma.
Hurting the love of my life in any way fucking terrifies me. I want nothing but the best for her always always always. I just know I can't always be at my best, its impossible to be. I will break at some point and probably scream and cry about how things aren't going nearly to plan and I'm so weak so often I don't know if I can pull myself together fast enough to not hurt myself or her with my untrue words.

clutches my heart and weeps!! as i realize that while being around other spider-folk like her is a relief bc they understand the stuff she's dealing with, it also supports the idea that chiyo is absolutely replaceable and that people could drop her if she becomes as difficult to handle as she imagines she is. it just makes her more determined to push down aaaaall the stuff she considers " ugly " and deal with her traumas and uncertainties on her own. and there are people who can probably see it happening bc despite the fact that chiyo is skilled at playing pretend, these people have done the same kinda stuff and recognize the signs. in this essay i will--
