#i'm 29

kiss the birthday bug!

[appalachiasferaldaughter]

Today is my birthday.

I’m in the last year of my twenties, I don’t remember how soft I used to be. I mourn for the youth that was wasted on other people. I wish I had invested more in myself than in others who drained me dry for their own capital.

I’ve learned—I hope—and I redirected myself toward myself. Every cord I cut, every bridge set ablaze, led me to this day here—a day that wouldn’t have existed otherwise.

I would have cut myself before the cord, Set myself on fire before the bridge, Let my emotions rot like cancer because I should be grateful that they even give me a chance at all.

It took me twenty-nine years to realize every hand that reached for me always exploited what I was taught to lay bare in front of everyone. Instead of covering me, they laughed at me. Spit on me. Talk about taking me behind the barn.

Everyone was surprised when I bit the hands that took from me the most. Because nobody gave me anything that they didn’t already take more than they needed from me.

I emphasize with mother snake, coiling around her territory, guarding her most valuable resources, that which are of herself.

Today is my birthday.

The gift I give is of myself to myself.

Since book 7 part 5 (the part where we meet Meleanor/Maleanor 👀) is coming to EN this month, i would love to see your take on lilia’s proposal to meleanor! i mean they were like little kids right? it couldn’t have been that serious…i think the only reason she even brought it up again is because she could tell lilia still genuinely loved her…(even if he didn’t realize it himself?) but, oh well! Let’s think about silly childhood shenanigans to numb the pain! ^_^ (orz)

oh shit?! get ready for a doozy guys, it's comiiiiiing ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I chickened out of posting the whole thing (look, I get VERY carried away when it comes to these wacky kids and their Tragedy), but I do believe that it probably ended with Lilia getting embarrassed and just shoving the first thing he sees into his mouth to try and cover for it.

(we're just lucky it wasn't a frog this time)

Something something the way Orym keeps talking around his feelings for Dorian by saying he misses him rather than he loves him "I really miss Dorian and sometimes I think that's okay and sometimes I think it isn't" and "If I don't get the chance again... I've really missed you" and the way that the absence of a person he loves is such an intrinsic part of the way Orym has lived his life for the past 6 or 7 years, saying he misses Dorian feels so close to a declaration of love because he misses Will so fucking bad all the time and he loved Will so deeply that missing someone and loving someone blurs together into the same feeling

was gonna make a joke about this and have this be a shitpost instead but honestly may pass out soon so I'll type this seriously cause I have no energy to come up with a clever joke

it's interesting how vox's insults in stayed gone are literally just different ways of saying "you're old and outdated you're old and outdated you're old and outdated you're old and outda" tackled with a bit of "you're a coward" in there, whereas alastor's insults are not jabs at vox being new or modern tech, but rather his practices, "clout-chasing mediocre video podcast" he's saying he's a pandering, attention-seeking sellout, and he targets at vox's insecurities, questions his power, then makes fun of him for still being salty about his rejection.

I feel like it's pretty telling how vox's insults are just SO shallow, while alastor's cut deeper and more personally. while you could say, alastor may be just better at roasting than vox, I feel like it could also tell you something about alastor's hatred of vox being based on actual reason, which makes sense, he is the one who rejected the idea of being on a team with vox, the one who decided to make the decision to step away from their friendship. there were likely legitimate things about vox that alastor started to notice he didn't like.

whereas vox's hatred is extremely petty, he's still pissy over that rejection, he has no reasonable reason to hate on alastor's practices or medium. literally ALL he has is constantly repeating how tv is better and newer and how radio is worse and older, that he literally uses that SAME snap back even after alastor has his part "what a dated voice!" "you're looking at the future! he's the shit that comes before that!". he has NOTHING on alastor. if you asked him to make a list about what he hated about alastor he would probably just give you 10000 synonyms of "he's old and outdated" and be unable to come up with anything non-superficial. because the falling out on his part, from his perspective, was being rejected. and after that, BLIND RAGE. he hates alastor. he does. but he can't reasonably tell you why.

romance novels love to tell you a character is a late bloomer because they don't meet the love of their life until they're twenty-four

OK, so, this is weird.  

@dsudis just tipped me off that someone has copied Soldier’s Heart and published it through Kindle Unlimited.  It’s been up there since December 8 of this year.  

(There are a zillion books on Amazon called Soldier’s Heart, but this one is definitely mine--if you click through to the preview, it is literally just a cut-and-paste.)

Does anyone know what you’re supposed to do, when something like that happens?

I mean, this idiot didn’t even change the names, so I suppose Julian Fellowes/whoever owns the rights to Downton Abbey also has grounds to object to this.
