#friendships ending

[c0nfidencekill3r]

sometimes i still feel the way i did in the last week of july, wilted and weeping all my water away. my mother thinks there is something wrong with my love when i come to her and curl up crying like a kid. sometimes i think there’s something unfixably wrong with my love, too. it aches and stretches and then becomes too much for anyone to bear.

maybe i reached a certain size and you had to leave. i got too big for you to care for. i got too big to comfort you. too big for your comfort. i can’t blame you for that either. but you blame me for my bigness. (you blame me for my sickness.)

i don’t know how or when you change so. maybe it’s when you go away. maybe you meet someone new and they fill so much space in you that there isn’t room for anybody or anything else. that’s okay. that’s not your fault. i can’t blame you for wanting to be a home. a haunted house a thousand miles from the one where you grew up.

i find the birthday card you wrote me in an old drawer i’m cleaning out to flee a summer storm. while the sky is falling, i try to be polite and quiet and small, as if that was, by any stretch of the imagination, the problem. as if squeezing my knees to my chest would make the growing pains go away.

they don’t subside. it’s too late now. my feet meet the ground differently than they did when i was fifteen. and maybe i wasn’t evil, maybe i was just learning, maybe i still am. part of me always reaches for you to share news, even now. it’s instinct, impulse. my body wishes you’d stayed to watch it age, change.

i’m not little like i once was, like i once felt, like i sometimes still feel. you never used to make me feel that way, but now you do. i suppose you and i simply grew in different directions. but it’s been so long that even with the nasty weather eating away all our dirt, i don’t think i’ll ever be able to discern my own roots from yours.

End of a Decade

The end of 2023, for me, marks the end of a significant decade and chapter of my life. I had a fallout with my best friend. Someone I’d known for ten years. It’s not a pleasant thing to go through. No one teaches you what to do when a good person hurt you, but you know you’ve hurt them too. No one teaches you how to bid farewell to people you thought you never would say goodbye to. No one…

Friendship never dies in FNAF..

[ghostdrinkssoup]

nbc hannibal is a romcom purely because the central conflict results from hannibal not understanding his feelings for will and being a total loser about it because he’s never had a friend or been in love before which makes him act so silly and do the most insane things that will interprets being framed for murder as hannibal having something against him (as anyone would), and this series of misunderstandings is not resolved until hannibal’s ex girlfriend and former psychiatrist tells will that hannibal is so in love with him it makes him look stupid. after that will does not hesitate to break hannibal out of jail and douse himself in blood which is this show’s equivalent to the protagonist running to the airport to stop their love interest from leaving the country and marrying someone else before they’ve had the chance to confess that they’ve loved them ever since they’ve known them

Doing some more funny doodles for an upcoming ytp I'm making. That top one is inspired by this absolute banger

i really, really love how they're handling penelope and eloise's relationship in bridgerton - there isn't forgiveness yet, but the space left by the rupture in their friendship is all the more emphasized by how nothing can fill it. penelope gets the same treatment that eloise did by whistledown - she has to suffer a taste of her own medicine. eloise isn't cruel and she still cares for penelope. penelope completely understands eloise's anger. neither is vindictive; both are grieving; both yearn for each other more than anything else; and yet for all that, nothing is or will be the same between them again, and I think that in and of itself is a form of a betrayal, a "you were my person, and then you took yourself away from me."

I always find it strange when people lament that Rayla and Callum don't have much in common (implying they're a bad ship) when, to me, they're one of the most realistic portrayal of friends and lovers I've seen across various genres.

They very clearly enjoy each other's company. They have a similar quirky style of gallows humour. They like teasing each other, and they bounce ideas off each other. They fiercely love and care for their friends and family.

I mean, Callum just randomly starts spouting poetry at her, and does Rayla make fun of him or make him feel weird or self-conscious? Nope. She not only knows what he's talking about, she engages with it.

I suppose on the surface they don't have much in common. Callum loves his books and research, and Rayla’s more action orientated, but once you dig deeper, the foundation of their relationship is built on mutual admiration and respect.

And that is what's important. That's what long-lasting relationships are built on.

Your partner may not have the same taste in books or activities as you, but do they still engage with you about your interests? Do they support you indulging in them or spending time doing them? Do they respect you and your differences?

That love and support is what stands the test of time.

THE CHEMISTRY!

No hug, sadly, but if we bully Disney hard enough... Maybe

love love LOVE jesper fahey so much, kaz rips out someone's eye and tosses them overboard and jesper's just like "would he do that for me?" not at all bothered, just wondering if kaz cares about him enough to kill a guy for him. a man with his priorities absolutely in order.
