#it’s too good to shy away from

[honeyedlashton]

HONEY HIII IM ABSOLUTELY LOSING IT OVER ASHTON’S VOCALS ON THEIR NO ROOTS COVER (once again)😭😭😭😭AND THEN WHEN LUKE HARMONIZES WITH HIM 😭😭😭😭im done for 😭😭im on my fifth listen in a row i needed to scream to someone about this 😭😭😭😭😭

I KNOW!!! His voice is so insane to me...he really pussyslayed that performance completely. Whoever’s idea it was to sing that (probably his) good job. (It’s second in my heart only to dancing with a stranger cause the way Calum sings the second verse anyway anyway anyway.) Currently remembering how I used to listen to it on repeat, too 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Then I read this fic and it changed my perspective. I’m like obsessed with it still. I haven’t read in a long time so I can’t remember if I’m about to recommend something scarring but it wasn’t for me lmfaoo. Bout to reread this again actually.

Thank you Li for reminding me of this again 🥰

ps. i'm kind of peeved that there are people making a lot of money off this junk :/

If it's any consolation, I don't think they are!

Though if it's any unconsolation, I don't imagine anybody makes much money off of selling cross-stitch patterns; I know of maybe... four? people who have been able to make a full-time job of it, plus one person who used to, but had to rejoin the work force recently. Heck, even my local thread store relies on custom framing orders to help subsidize the embroidery side of the business.

I have… lots of thoughts on milsiril and kabru and the commentary on mixed-race family/adoption, in particular white parents with children of color. I think it’s really cool kui incorporated this into the story because lots of (particularly white) people just think adoption is this pure altruistic thing and don’t think about the negative affects it has on kids (again, kids of color) to not have people of their own culture to grow up with.

Will be throwing my own veteran OC into the @kirbyoctournament​ ring hehe

Name: Quiver Knight

Personality: Snarky and grumpy, she has a hard time letting people get close to her and prefers to keep a distance. Is fiercely protective of those who manage to crack that tough shell of hers, almost overbearing.

Backstory: Quiver was a high-ranking officer during her service in the GSA before their downfall to Nightmare's monsters. She was in charge of the support troop specializing in archery or long-range weapons. She formed a mother-son relationship with one of the trainees but he lost his life in a battle, completely crushing her fighting spirit and caused her to put up sturdy walls. After the war, she became a recluse and travels from planet to planet, and never sits in one place for too long, helping anyone she passes by and sees in trouble, whilst still keeping her identity a secret.

Reference images are under the cut!

how do you write a story where the protagonist dies?

not one where the protagonist is fighting you every step of the way- not one where she is begging you to spare her life. I feel like that's easier, because you just set fate in motion, and hey, for the story you want, you can't interfere. it was always going to end like this. like yes I'm mourning you, but the laws of this world I've built dictate that your death is inevitable. Sorry. It will be over soon. Then we can rest.

but what do you do when your protagonist wants to die?

not because of suicidal ideation, because that, too, would be easier to deal with. you show her that life is still worth living. you show her kindness, and love, and even if she still constantly wants to die at least she can see that she might need to work on that, and you can at least promise her that things will be okay. it got better for me, so it's really just common decency to make sure it gets better for you.

but what if your protagonist has lived too long? What if there isn't any getting better because this is better, this is as good as it's going to get, and to live is to repeat a thousand years of illness and stasis?

The win state's long since been reached. She's loved and lost and longs only to go home to the place her mother and her mother's mother and her grandmother's mother has died.

how cruel am I, then, that my first instinct is to deny her?

been listening to the audiobook of the first warriors (cat series) book and... man. MAN !!! no wonder ravenpaw's whole thing here made me incredibly uncomfortable and scared in a way I'd never experienced while reading before when I first read it in like grade 4/5. it is such a mirror for the abuse (the control aspects mainly) and emotions I was feeling but didn't have the awareness of at the time (<- had been convinced that the way their family operated was normal and couldn't find out otherwise bc they weren't allowed to talk about any aspects of their home life to anyone outside of the family because "family is all you can trust, you can never trust anyone outside of this house". haha don't u love it when ur mother's abuse lines up with things present in the BITE model ☺️☺️☺️✨✨ very epic and cool /sarc!!!!!)

absolutely jarring experience though to be casually working on landscaping a big area in m.inecraft and then oops here's a big thunk on the head from this children's series you were obsessed with as a kid! here's a puzzle piece for you to put into place! WHAT THE HELL MAN 😭😭 im just trying to NOT think for a little while,,, truly there are so few escapes bc the abuse permeates so many aspects (dare i say... all aspects...) of my life right down to the media i connected with as a child.

and no I'm not going to examine why I enjoyed Huck Finn and Heidi so much because that one will DEFINITELY kick me in the stomach repeatedly 😐
