Yak and I are fake boyfriends. Yes, we started like that. But you know something? Yak is a huge green flag for me.
When I'm with Yak, I never question myself if I'm good enough. It's Yak who makes me realize how worthy I am.
Right now Yak is my peace of mind. I still don't understand why I wasted those eight years with you. Because right now, I really love myself when I'm with Yak.
Thank you, Yak, for coming into my life.
It's my pleasure. Alright then. Let's go home.

have seen lots abt when you have had mental illness/trauma from a young age so that's all you know and I don't wanna take away from that at all, like that's actually fucking horrible
But also, the other side of when you have a "before". Like you fully know the person you used to be (and never will be again) and you know this is not you; you're a stranger to yourself now. And maybe you already had a clear picture how your life would play out at least in parts before the mat was pulled out from under you and now it's all wrong. Like you can hear your past self screaming about when/how/why the fuck did it all turn out like this. The grief of what could've been etc.

Happy Worldbuilding Wednesday! So, I know a little bit about the gods of your setting, but how does your average citizen worship? Which gods get the most attention and which are less well known?
ahh, thanks for the ask! i need you to know, every time i'm asked about world building i become this image
this is undoubtedly going to get long so answer under the cut
the the short answer is: it depends. i think i mentioned in my post about Raschic but i'm not sure, but there are the 8 main gods who give power to one of each of the Mage Kingdoms. (Light, Shadow, Fire, Water, Plant, Stone, Sky, and Force. This doesnt really matter for the context but there it is.)
So Mages are expected to be somewhat religious, but depending on the god they're tied to, it changes what that looks like. The Sea God isn't horribly concerned about day to day life of his Mages, but they must still do certain rituals and pay proper tribute to allow them to remain attached to him for their power and immortality. As such, the kingdom of the Water Mages as a whole isn't super immersed in religion. On the other hand, Shadow Mages are very devout, to the point where even those without magic are still incredibly religious because it's so steeped in the culture of the ruling Mages.
even when you get into human kingdoms, it's going to look different depending on who a person is and what they do. Uslaria, (the setting for my current WIP) has the most concentrated group of witches in the known world, so much so that one town is known for being the unofficial capitol for witches. everyone in Uslaria can tell you a bit about the Goddess Lythis, Grandmother of Witches, but few actually worship her. a farmer in Uslaria might pray to the Sky God to bring his godly children through with warm winds and generous rains, may also pray to the Goddess of Stone to bless his crops with good soil, may also attend festivals or holy days for the main pantheon if they live close enough to a city or town that might make a big to-do about it, but as far as most gods go, especially the main pantheon, they're so distant from the reality of most people. gods in the minor pantheon, like the Trickster, are more the topic of superstitions and tales to tell by a fire. day to day worship might be done for a lesser god residing in their area, or sometimes house gods that follow a family line, but the names of those gods are too intimate to the area to be remarked upon outside of that circle.
tl;dr: the average citizen (except maybe in the Marshes with the Shadow Mages,) only really cares about the gods that affect them and treat any others with a distant respect. (for the most part)

Needed to lay down and try to sleep for longer than an hour today, and in doing so I blearily looked at general fandom tags because I wanted to see silly fanart.
Instead I got hit full-force with reality of so much drama over the wildest little shit. I've been cursed with sight.
I have also never been happier to stay in my own bubble away from... all of that.
All that to say, I'm keeping this blog free of more stuff like this but holy fuck it hit me like a freight train. All this drama exhausts me and I don't know how anyone keeps up with it. I prefer to think of this place as the equivalent of a cabin in the woods, one where I emerge every few days with a few thousand words for people to devour with their eyes.

Hello my love! How about 25 or 67 for the wrapped game? 😘😘😘
Hello love!!!!! Yes of course, hehehe!!!!
25 is Lie to Me by 5 Seconds of Summer, but the Live from Royal Albert Hall version specifically. I know I have a Juke Lie to Me fic lying around somewhere, but we'll ignore that for this.
This kinda gives post-Bobby Betrayal vibes to me right now. Like post canon type fic where Trevor/Bobby has chosen to just try and ignore the fact that Julie's holograms look exactly like his old bandmates. It feels like it'd be Luke's pov, like spotting him at gigs or events they're at with Julie and just being mad but also wanting to know why the heck he did what he did. And did he ever actually care about him? But also... does he care if Bobby ever loved him for real or not? Does he still want to hang onto the love he had for him, even after everything? It's a lot easier to hate someone when you've already loved them after all. Idk, it's a thought!
67 is Certified Depressant by Taylor Acorn. Heh this one has Alex written all over it!!! Alive AU, high school probably. He's hanging on, but like just barely. And he's trying to keep it together and not make life harder for his family and friends. But also he's falling and he can't make himself ask for help. It would be a hurt/comfort fic probably that ends with him in a dark spot and his friends coming to find him and protect him. That one is more vibes than story, but oh well.
I hope you like them!!!! I love you, thanks for sending these in!!!!
(Send me a number from 1-100 and I'll tell you what fic I'd write based on that song on my Spotify Wrapped!)
