#live to thrive

[transfrogrified-in-the-void]

How did you move on from your relationships so fast? Its been a hot minute since my break up and im still over here struggling

My first one is complicated, since it technically ended in October when he found his current gf, and our friendship fully ended in february/march. That one was the one I had to come to terms with the fact I was being abused the entire time, so by the time march hit I was done.

My second one I got over because we both pretty much came to the conclusion we aren't ready for a committed relationship with anyone as we are now. Them for personal reasons, mine because of trauma reasons. We actually went to a BBQ and got to joke about it too, which was funny.

So I'm not really the person to ask. The relationship that took me months to get over was the one where I got over it by realizing I was abused, and the second one ended on such good terms I couldn't really dwell on those emotions too long.

Although, some advice. Getting out of a relationship sucks. If you feel like you're still holding on to that grief (bc it is grief, you're grieving), spend time with friends. Go outside. Find a new band. Write bad poetry. Throw cheap paint on a rock. Go to a concert. Sing loudly to your music. Read a book from your childhood. Eat your favorite ice cream. And during or between that, think about what you had, why you lost it, and that it's okay. You're here, living (even if you have to make yourself), and no other relationship matters more than the one with yourself.

And remember that someone there loves you.

Or, if love isn't your thing, deeply appreciates you.

ALSO! That feeling? It's grief. Let yourself have space to grieve sometimes. Mourn a bit. And with every mourning and grieving, let a little more go. It's not forever, but it also doesn't have to be nonexistent.

Tl;dr I'm not the most qualified to speak on this, but at the end of it all just live every day and do things that make you smile

Part 1

[3 days earlier – Danny’s apartment]

[Doorbell rings. Danny opens door.]

Talia al Ghul (with zero context): “We’re having a family dinner.”

Danny: “...Okay? That’s not ominous at all.”

Talia (stepping in uninvited): “Also. Who is this lovely creature?” points at Jazz, who’s halfway through microwaving leftover mac and cheese

Jazz (blinking): “Um. I’m Jazz. Danny’s sister.”

Talia: “I’ve always wanted a daughter.” turns to Danny “Keep her.”

Now – Location: Demon’s Manor, somewhere Extremely Gothic and candlelit Attendees: Ra’s al Ghul, Talia, Damian, Jazz, Danny and Tim (the only 2 who r dressed like it’s a casual date night)

Ra’s (grinning like he just got his Christmas wish): “So. Timothy. You are courting my grandson.”

Tim (trying not to choke on wine): “...........Yes.”

Ra’s: “Excellent. I always said you had the makings of a perfect heir.”

Danny: “You tried to kidnap him when he was fifteen.”

Ra’s: “And yet he turned out so well. Clearly, I was right.”

Damian: “This is why I have trust issues.”

Talia (to Jazz): “I’ve already cleared a training room. I can begin your blade lessons next week.”

Jazz: “I’m a psychology major.”

Talia: “Perfect. You’ll know exactly how to break people. We’ll make a proper assassin of you yet.”

[Halfway through dinner – sudden crash. Door swings open dramatically.]

Jason Todd (in a leather jacket, holding a wine bottle): “Sorry I’m late, I brought booze and trauma.”

Danny: “Jason??”

Tim (startled): “What are you doing here??”

Jason (shrugging): “Mom invited me.”

Danny & Tim (in sync): “MOM??”

Talia (sipping tea): “He had potential. And rage. And bloodlust. I thought he’d fit in.”

Ra’s: “And he survived death. That makes him very interesting.”

Damian (counting on his fingers): “So to summarize: My biological brother is dating Tim, my adopted brother. My mother wants to adopt my biological brother's adopted sister. Jason crashed dinner because apparently he’s our brother now, too. And Grandfather is trying to draft Tim into his next apocalypse again.”

Jason: “That sounds about right”

Tim (quietly): “I think I need to lie down.”

Danny (still eating like this is normal): “This is honestly the least weird dinner I’ve had this month.”

Jazz (raising her glass): “To found family. Blood bonds. And extremely awkward dating choices.”

Jason: “Cheers to that.”

Ra’s: “Next time, we host at the Lazarus spa. We’ll invite Constantine too.”

Tim (horrified): “PLEASE don’t.”

My favourite trope in MXTX's novels is finding one that one person is a criminal/traitor so we need to get rid of them but it turns out they're the only competent person in this whole fucking place so we desperatly scramble for what's left of them to menage our taxes.

The whole Mount Tonglu situation is extremely suspicious but not to worry! We got the martial god of autism on the case.

“Wow. You’re rather strong, Mydei. You must lift plenty of women if you’re so practiced.”

“Do you look for arguments in every corner?”

“I see. So you find me argumentative, is that it?”

i hate how fatphobia has fucked with genuinely my entire life but specifically now when i tell my mom i've been so scared and stressed that i've been forgetting to eat and too nauseated when i do remember and the reaction is "i'm jealous" and "you're lucky" it's like no, actually, i'm kind of dying? but thanks, glad to know you hate your own healthy aging body enough to assume it's better for me to be malnourished actually
