Day 2: Family/Friendship
It’s Day 2 Travelers! This time Mod Duke and Mod Dreamer collabed and made a short fic for the prompt. As always we hope you enjoy and we look forward to your submissions! ❤️💙❤️
Enough was enough. Patton decided he couldn’t take any more of the animosity that was constantly pulsating around the room between him and Roman in particular. He read his note one more time before he sighed and morosely made his way back to his room to gather his things.
-- Roman couldn’t help but realise that he had been a bit of a jerk recently, he knew he was pushing everyone away, Patton in particular. He knew that Patton was just trying to help him, but his ego was getting in the way, along with his recently discovered feelings… Rejection was something that he was too used to, and he didn’t want to be rejected by someone he cared about more than himself.
He walked into the living room to get a drink and noticed a neat envelope with all too familiar writing on the front. Roman started to worry as he opened the envelope and began to read feeling the lump in his throat getting more and more cumbersome.
'I'm so thankful for my years spent with this fam-ily, for everything we shared, every chance we had to grow. I'll take the best of them with me. If I were to be honest with you: this isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road. Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson or because I don't want to walk around angry. Or maybe it's because I finally understand. There are things we don't want to happen but have to accept; things we don't want to know but have to learn; and people we can't live without but have to let go.'
He finished reading it for the third time and tried to steady his shaking hand. He bowed his head “No, Patton… No.” He muttered before running out of the room, calling out for Patton. He stood outside Patton’s room and knocked tentatively. -- Patton heard Roman called out for him down the corridor but as much as he wanted to run to him, he ignored the calls and continued to pack a bag as slowly as he could. He heard a light knock on his door before a trembling voice spoke.
“Patton? Patt… Can I come in? Please?” Roman’s voice was scared… almost sad and Patton sighed before walking a little closer to the door.
“Ro… You’re not gonna change my mind.” Patton responded, not truly believing the words he spoke. He felt Roman sigh and put his body weight on the door.
“Patton please you can't leave... We need you... I need you...” Roman pleaded and Patton could feel his resolve crumbling with every word. Patton rested his hand and the door handle desperately fighting the urge to open it, he was still hurt after all.
“... You've got a funny way of showing it.” Patton admitted, he needed to get those words across. He heard Roman chuckle bitterly and it made his heart hurt more, he didn’t want to hurt the one he lov- cared about… He couldn’t say the L word, not until he knew things would be different, that they could fix the small cracks and be happy.
Roman sighed yet again and rested his head on the door. “I know... I know I've sucked at showing it recently, but I can't lose you Patton... You're family, and I... I love you...” Patton’s breath hitched as soon as he heard those words.
“You do?” He asked softly, placing his hand on the door. 
“Yes I always have... Always will...” Roman confirmed. Patton’s mind was made up. He opened the door and was met with Roman’s completely flushed face as he fumbled with his hands.
“If you want to leave and don't feel the same I can't stop you... I just needed to get that off my chest...” Roman stumbled over his words and Patton rested his hand on top of Roman’s gently.
“I do love you too, Ro... That's why it hurt so much when you were shutting me out and pushing me away... but I know we can be okay.” Patton reassured.
“I know I messed up Patton and I know I never should've done that but I'm sorry... I didn't know how much I was hurting you. From here on out we'll talk everything out no matter the issue.” Roman insisted and Patton felt a smile tug on his lips.
“... Do you promise?” Patton asked.
“I promise... Prince's Honor.” Roman raised his hand theatrically and Patton giggled in response.
“Alright Ro, I'm not going anywhere.” Patton stated and Roman smiled softly back at him.
“Thank you Patt.”
“Always.”

my greatest achievement in DA2 is maxing out Carver's friendship
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and all it took was begrudgingly kissing a little templar ass in act 1 because Carver didn't want to plan a prison break if my Hawke got his ass arrested for being stupid.
#carver hawke#dragon age#dragon age 2#da2#well that and he didn't want leandra gamlen and himself to also get arrested for harboring an apostate but you get me#carver hawke loves his sibling and doesn't want them to get taken away that's why he's such an ass and approves of 'pro-templar' choices#in act 1 he's not pro-templar himself but kissing a little templar ass is how you avoid being arrested#'why yes cullen you are so right the templars are so cool and sexy' my hawke says through gritted teeth for that +5 friendship#look i love him okay he's my favorite and i will go the extra mile to make him happy and it's worth it for how much softer can be later on#honestly maxing out his friendship isn't hard if you're aware of what quests you're bringing him on and make him a grey warden#oh but you do need the legacy dlc otherwise you can't fully max friendship out... you can still get enough to change his dialogue/attitude#also like... we the player know hawke won't be arrested like they're not in any actual dangers from the templars as the playable character#but carver doesn't know that and neither does hawke so the templars *are* a real threat to them#and it's incredibly reckless to purposely piss off templars AND selfish because it's not just hawke that'll be arrested it's their family#for harboring them like we witness templars going after people hiding apostates soooo.....#i'm just saying that carver isn't irrational or just being an ass to personally annoy you okay he has cause#also once carver's a warden and ed has money and the estate THEN he's way more open about telling the templars to piss off#sigh one day i'll sit down and write an essay about carver.... one day

What a wonderful response we got for Day 1!! We went down memory lane with a lot of beautiful fic and art, and explored the "Indescribable" theme through (ironically!!) both art and music 🤓
We're now on Day 2 of our Hayden Young Week, and 3 days away from their birthday. Today's theme focuses on the people close to Hayden.
Their Friendships...people who have stood by Hayden through thick and thin, and who are valued by them.
Their Relationships - all the wonderful ways Hayden loves their partners and gives their all to them.
The Family - You could include anything! Their relationship with Sloane's mom Kim, any future children they may have...even their found family!
Any content is welcome - fic, art, meta, edit, moodboards, icons, headcanons...even simple screenshots of your favourite Hayden scene!! Our only requirement is that the content is original (no AI generated content pls!), the piece centers Hayden, and shows them in a positive light. You don't necessarily have to put up your work for the theme on the exact same day - you can always put it up later as long as you tag it for the day you meant for.
We will also be keeping a buffer week in case people are unable to finish the works during the week. You can also put up WIPs in case it doesn't get finished on time!!
Be sure to do the following when you make for posts for HYAW:
1. Use the tags #haydenyoungappreciationweek and #HYAW in your tags, along with the day you made the post for (HYAW Day 1, HYAW Day 2 etc).
2. Tag @haydenyoungappreciationweek, and hosts @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes in your posts so we don't miss your content!
FAN CONTENT BLOGS regularly promote fandom content, and run some amazing weeks too! If you'd like to join in on some during HYAW, we would highly recommend these:
@choicesficwriterscreations - Fanfic and art welcome! They also have an LGBTQ archive so if you have any fics that highlight Hayden's queer identity, definitely let them know!! Here's a full list of the events they run!
@choicesmonthlychallenge, @choicesseptemberchallenge2023 and @choicesoctober - All content welcome! They have some amazing prompts for Sept and Oct.
@choicespride - Any and all content welcome, as long as it focuses on queer characters and themes! They are currently running their Bisexual Awareness Week.
@choicesflashfics - Primarily fanfic under 2500 words. They give you prompts every week.
@choicesholidays - All content welcome! They are currently running their Halloween themed Festival of Fears Month.
@choicesprompts - Primarily fanfic focused. Currently they are running their Smutember event.
Do check these out! We hope to see more lovely Hayden content tomorrow and all through this week! 💖💖💖
Have a great Hayden Young Appreciation Week, everyone!!

Nope, I'm still crying
#i wish literally anybody from school remembered me#literally only 2 people i was friends with hace talked to me in the past four years#i had the realization tonight that i was never given the choice to nurture most of my friendships#everytime i tried outside of school hours including trying to join clubs my mom would make me leave halfway through then lecture me#that she didn't have time to drive to town and get me#but as soon as my brother wanted to join junior air force she suddenly had all the time and energy in the world to devote to that#so what I'm getting here is that my friendships and interests weren't important enough or worth her time#i wasn't interested in Junior air force 1 cause it wasn't offered to me and 2 I'm not a boit licker#no#i was interested in the video game and board game clubs cause my friends were in them and they WANTED me to join#but after not getting to stay for more than one full session after a month i left the board game club cause it wasn't fair to the others#and i only went to the video game clu once and i don't remember much of it cause i was too anxious that she was gonna flip on me#i kept waiting for her text but instead she showed up at the classroom and made me leave#so when the same teacher that ran the board game club asked if i wanted to join the chess club cause he knew i liked chess#i told him i couldn't cause i was too busy because i didn't want to deal with begging my mom to let me join#she would have said yes but would have continued not letting me stay and being super passive aggressive#I'm not even in the year book for the year my friends graduated#the one thing she did let me do was drama and i hated every second of it. it was genuinely a bad experience for me#yeah i had friends in drama but it's not the same as hanging with my nerdy guy friends playing a star wars ttrpg#the worst part is she gets so defensive when i bring it up and won't give me a reason outside of 'I guess I'm just the worst parent'#it's in those moments i really remember she's the youngest in her family#OH!! it gets worse! she told me when i was younger that she had to be an honorary cheer leader cause HER MOM absolutely refused to#let her join cheer and she's alsways been bitter about it but then she turns around and did basically the same thing to me ffs#at least she was allowed to hang out with people after-school i wasn't allowed to do that either#no. instead i spent the hours after shcool alone most days and my weekends home alone in my room. and she wonders why my social skills are#maybe if I'd been allowed to work on my relationships outside of a classroom i wouldn't have felt so abandoned when everyone i knew#graduated without me. maybe if i didn't have to start back at square one socially again and had people to text and hang with after class#i wouldn't have dropped out. and i think only atlas knows i dropped out. idk how to text these people without spunding like I'm looking for#sympathy when they ask what I'm up to. like yeah I'm stuck at home with an anxiety disorder and unemployed trying to get on disability#prisma vents

lore drop
#that poll just now reminded me of my Toxic Homoerotic Codependent Female Friendship in high school#there was something obsessive going on between us because 1) i wasn't even in her friend group 2) everything she said or did was annoying#there was some stockholm syndrome situation going on. also a very succession tomgreg dynamic#you know how you invite a friend somewhere and they're like 'we're on our way' and you're like who's 'we'#and it's because they're a package deal with their partner apparently. yeah that was us but platonically. if you could even call it that#anyway her sense of humour was like that of a mean girl ie backhanded compliments and jokes at other people's expenses#always saying something that would subtly put others down. i got fed up with that at the beginning of our final year#and called her out on everything that Wasn't Good. which ultimately culminated in the Divorce#well there's more to it too but i could be here the whole day#i was so obsessed with her i misstook it for romantic feelings too and confessed to her in the middle of an argument LMAO#and then proceeded to ignore all her follow up questions. but in hindsight it clearly wasn't romantic anyway#except about a year after the Divorce she retrospectively confessed to me AND THEN REFUSED TO ELABORATE WHEN. as revenge i guess#actually the downfall started when we went to another city for an event and on the last day before the train back we were supposed to go#explore the city in what was essentially a (platonic) date except she ditched me for Some Guy she just met and claimed she had to go back#home early for a family situation and that he was giving her a ride because the train would arrive too late#that wasn't the only time she would just. abandon me like that. but it was the final straw for me#anyway. defining high school experience 👍#the only good thing to come out of it was that she thoroughly insulted a classmate of ours that i stood up for and so i gained a new friend#who is still my best friend to this day

My 2023 was wild, not in a way that anyone would use the term "wild" except me
#this year i travelled to finland. met a beloved mutual there#next week after that travelled to sweden/denmark (like copenhagen & malmo lol) to meet my old friend (with a recent friend lol)#then like. in spring we had this active/fitness challenege that kind of speed-run developing friendship with my coworkers#that challenge lasted 3 months i think?#also bc of it i went on walks frequently around one pond and was observing day by day a swan pair nesting their eggs until eventually#i saw their babies#also went on a 19km hike and 26km hike during the event that was crazy. swore to never do it again#ALSO participated in a trail running event (6km) and swore to never do it again#then i defended my thesis and gratuated#started thinking about and applying for phd#went on a 3 day roadtrip to lithuania with family and aunts family#following week went on a 3? day roadtrip to poland with coworkers AND FILMED THEIR ENGAGEMENT#i think after that i spent some time in a coastal town to see my cousin (from sweden)#and then her; my sister and me travelled to sweden (again for me!) to bring her back home and to give my sister her first travel with plane#then i got back and got into a phd programme.#broke my car; fixed it; gave it to my sister and bought a new car#buying a new car also was a fun trip with my engaged coworkers (but within country borders and lasted a day)#then my phd studies started and with it a new job#which i realized i should quit 2 weeks in lol#then the end of year was calmer. i did have small trips for like christmas tree igniting in a small town and#coworkers birthday party that was pretty fun#thinking back it really seems wild to me

If I See You Again Tomorrow
YA contemporary/light sci-fi
follows a boy almost a year into a time loop, who has almost given up on finding a way out
until a new boy shows up at his school - which has never happened before - and he’s motivated to step out of his monotony and maybe find a way out
exploring loneliness and social isolation
#If I See You Again Tomorrow#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#ok i enjoyed some aspects of this like the MCs personal journey and mental health stuff i guess. friendships.#but the romance was annoying and unnecesary. not just my bitter aro ass saying this a lot of other reviews do too lol#the love interest is convinced that you have to find your soulmate to get out of the time loop for no logical reason??? & the MC (and me) is#like what the fuck man that’s stupid.#but then also he’s like we can’t hang out; you just think you Like me because we’re both in this time loop; focus on finding your soulmate!!#LIKE WHO CARES ABOUT CRUSHES?#YOU’RE THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN THIS TIME LOOP WHY WOULD YOU NOT WORK TOGETHER TO FIGURE IT OUT……….#this is more me being frustrated at the character than the author but i feel like. the author could have thought of some better reasons for#him to avoid the mc i guess lol. or at least lampshade the stupidity#it……sort of ends up being soulmatey anyway#or at least he decides they in love anyway but lol u guys spent one day together then didn't see each other for 2 months or whatever???#so the end was definitely disappointing#I think it would have been way better if he did all his friend and family goodbyes then went to the place#and nothing happened and it turned out that after 365 days you just. pop out of it; problem never ‘’solved’’.#but then he goes to find beau anyway and they start something on their own terms#(bc like getting ‘trapped forever’ after a year would mean there’s instances of two people disappearing forever at the same time - they have#no proof for that either? I guess they would also have instances of people saying they did just get out of it after a year too but. well may#be if that happens you have amnesia. which wouldn’t work for this book. but anyway)#idk#also him hating his mum made me cringe because that was Obvious. i feel like a little more time could have been spent on that#and like i did enjoy it overall for the majority of it that wasn't the romantic thing! it could have been so good if it removed that#and gave everything else its full focus

Esplorando la Felicità: Connettersi con le Persone
Tumblr media
Benvenuti al secondo giorno del nostro viaggio verso la felicità! Oggi ci immergeremo nell'importante tema delle relazioni umane e di come esse possano arricchire le nostre vite.
Come vi ho spiegato ieri, sto seguendo questo percorso di 10 giorni con l'aiuto prezioso della comunità Action for Happiness. Questa organizzazione si impegna a diffondere la gioia e il benessere attraverso azioni concrete e pratiche quotidiane.
Il tema di oggi è "Relating: Connect with people" (Relazione: Connettersi con le persone). Questo passo ci incoraggia a coltivare legami significativi con gli altri, poiché le relazioni soddisfacenti sono uno dei pilastri fondamentali della felicità.
Connettersi con gli altri può assumere molte forme: dall'abbracciare un amico durante un momento difficile, al condividere una risata con un familiare, fino a stabilire nuove amicizie e connessioni significative.
Le relazioni ci offrono sostegno emotivo, ci permettono di condividere le nostre gioie e le nostre sfide, e ci aiutano a sentirci meno soli nel mondo. Inoltre, uno studio condotto dalla Harvard Study of Adult Development ha dimostrato che le relazioni soddisfacenti sono fondamentali per una vita felice e appagante.
Tumblr media
Quindi, come possiamo coltivare relazioni più profonde e significative nella nostra vita quotidiana?
1. Ascolto attivo: Dedicare del tempo a ascoltare veramente gli altri, senza giudicare o interrompere. Mostrare interesse genuino per ciò che gli altri hanno da dire può rafforzare i legami emotivi.
2. Esprimere gratitudine: Mostrare apprezzamento per le persone importanti nella tua vita. Un semplice "grazie" può fare la differenza e rafforzare i legami esistenti.
3. Essere autentici: Essere se stessi e permettere agli altri di conoscerti per quello che sei veramente. Le relazioni più significative si basano sulla sincerità e sull'onestà.
4. Fare atti di gentilezza: Offrire il tuo supporto e la tua gentilezza agli altri. Anche le azioni più piccole possono avere un impatto significativo sul benessere degli altri e sulle nostre relazioni.
5. Cercare la compagnia positiva: Cercare la compagnia di persone che ti ispirano, ti supportano e ti incoraggiano a crescere. Le relazioni positive possono alimentare la nostra felicità e il nostro senso di appartenenza.
Coltivare relazioni significative è un passo fondamentale verso la felicità duratura. Mentre proseguiamo nel nostro percorso di esplorazione, ricordiamo di coltivare le relazioni che ci nutrono e ci sostengono lungo il cammino.
A domani per il prossimo step del nostro viaggio verso la felicità!
