!SPOILERS BELOW!

thelxie's fantastic adventures

"of course, my dearest child... as long as you want to hear it, maman will always hum for you."

so i finished the event.. and now my heart is in shambles.

learning of lescot's loneliness syndrome already made it painful enough..

but the reveal of the twist made it heartbreaking !

soul crushing ! !

overall, devastating ! ! !

zuria, a well-known artist, who was preparing an art exhibit made specifically for her son.. didn't get to see him in his last moments.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THE PAIN TO HURT EVEN MORE HELLO?

grief is a horrible human curse. i am all too familiar with it, and would not wish it on anyone else. but as a human, we learn to live with it and learn to overcome the hold it has on us. when that happens, we feel this sense of freedom and tranquility. and through that, we are also able to help those that are in the same situation as we were in.

ZURIA DID THAT! and that makes my heart so happy for her <3

"my prince - my king - you shall never, ever need to feel lonely again."

and even though they both suffered from loneliness syndrome, they still had each other.

"ah, my poor darling.. please don't forget, i will always love you. my love is.. greater than the entire distance between here and the kingdom of water imps."

"i won't forget, maman... and so is my love for you. greater than the entire distance between here and the kingdom of water imps."

"goodnight, maman!"

MY HEART IS CRYING. I FEEL IT BLEEDING INTO THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL. STOP IT !!!!

but.. it was lovely to know how they still had their final farewell to each other, in the end.

even fantasies can come to life, even if it's just for a little while.

fantasy fulfills what reality cannot, and only does so when absolutely necessary; Zuria and Lescot's farewell.

SOBBING.

100 OUT OF 10 !!! it may be a stretch for me to say that this is my favorite event (i have tons), but this definitely takes the top spot.

both my heart and soul were touched, after all.

sweet dreams, lescot. you are so loved.

"for anyone in a tough spot" <3

Ne la grondez pas. Ecoute-la en silence, accorde-lui ton attention même si elle te dira toujours les mêmes choses. Soyez patient, riez avec elle, restez près d'elle même si vous pensez qu'elle n'a plus rien à vous apprendre. Va la voir aussi souvent que tu peux. Ne la fais pas se sentir seule. Apportez-lui une fleur. Donne-lui un baiser, une caresse, un sourire. Partagez d'anciens albums photo avec elle. Emmenez-la dîner, à la mer ... même une promenade suffira. Si vous n'avez pas le temps, trouvez-le. Si vous êtes loin, appelez-la et dites-lui d'aller la voir. Faites-le, ne tardez pas ! Fais-le, avant que cette chaise ne soit vide elle t'attend toujours. Il a tant à vous dire et à vous donner plus que vous ne pouvez l'imaginer. Chaque mère détient l'éternel, où il y a toujours le pardon.

Maman,

Depuis toutes ces années, je tenais pour ton anniversaire, te dire ces quelques mots.

Tu as su, moi et mon frère nous protéger contre tous les malheurs. Tu prenais tous les coups à notre place, et pour cela, merci.

Je suis fière d'avoir une mère qui aime autant et qui donne énormément, tu es une boule d'amour.

Tu as su avec bravoure aussi lutter contre la maladie, te battre encore et toujours pour vivre. Et pourtant, Dieu sait que ce n'est pas gagné.

Parce que le temps ne s'écoule pas de la même manière, pour eux et pour toi. Parce que la négativite n'a pas à être dans nos vies, ni la toxicité.

Je te souhaite du bonheur, de l'amour et de réaliser tous tes rêves.

Même si quelques personnes, ou années nous ont amené à s'éloigner l'une de l'autre, j'aimerais pour le futur, passer du temps avec toi, car le temps est précieux, ‪ te voir sourire et rire autant qu'avant mon adolescence, j'aimerais qu'on se refasse nos soirées parce que la nuit nous appartenait. Et tout cela sans cris et sans pleurs.

Avec toute ma reconnaissance, joyeux anniversaire,

Ta fille.

I need everyone to look at her

(was a little busy the past two days; but i remembered i purchased a bunched of old aladdin comics like YEARS ago and i just cracked open the one where he meets his mother through time traveling

and

find out aladdin is kinda named after a dog gkfndskgasdf

this is obvi not hard canon-canon as his father in the comic is named hamid instead of cassim.

horribly explained spoilers that's probably not accurate because i should go to bed soon under the cut if you want to know what happens.)

The comic opens up with Aladdin and Abu hiding from a stalking tiger — who is actually just Rajah since Jasmine appears, stating they would find them. Abu gets so spooked by getting discovered, he falls into a nearby dried up well. At the bottom of the well, Abu finds a jeweled amulet and the couple discovers Aladdin's name is engraved in it.

Aladdin states that he wishes he could've gotten to know his parents more and so Genie appears, making a joke that the well is a wishing well, if he just asks to travel time to find out more about this amulet. Jasmine is apprehensive, but Aladdin and Genie time travel anyway.

Unfortunately, Genie zaps them too far into Agrabah's future and attempts to convince the local aliens that they're friendly, which leads them to being chased by a giant floating robot. Aladdin insists they need to get out of there, so Genie again uses his magic to time travel, but sending them too far back into Agrabah's past, to which they have to run from dinosaurs.

One more attempt, they find themselves back in a familiar looking Agrabah, but the well that Abu had fallen into earlier is filled with water, tipping Aladdin off that they're probably in the right place, but how will he know where to meet his parents? Genie leaves to try find more clues, leaving Al by himself.

He's then suddenly tackled by a masked (like think balaclava) and cloaked figure, telling him to watch out as they fall into a building. Al mistakes this as an attack on himself and tries to fight back by taking off the mask of his attacker, but discovers a young woman with short, curly hair, who insists she was saving him from a roc — a deadly, giant bird who is known to be able to pick up elephants and looks for treasure due to its greed and has been plaguing Agrabah for years. Al says he's heard about them when he was little before the girl introduces herself as Zena and explains that she had been hired to retrieve a treasure from the roc's nest that is perched high above a tower.

Aladdin helps her but also is too hasty and gets them into some trouble here and there and Zena saves his ass more lol. Interesting note that Al says here that he's been riding horses since he was three years old lol

Eventually they make it up the tower into the roc's nest (which has a giant spider web + giant spider at its base idk), which is empty. Zena starts searching for the treasure in the roc's hoard of things while Al keeps lookout. The roc appears immediately and Al chucks some of its treasure off the tower to distract it as it's greedy and the roc flies down into the webs and traps itself basically. The two escape before the roc has a chance to free itself from the webs.

Zena reunites with the person who hired her, some rich person in a caravan carriage and she hands over the treasure she found. Aladdin recognizes it immediately as it's the amulet Abu found, his name on it and everything. The rich person clips it onto his dogs collar — named Aladdin — explaining that it was a gift for his dog's first birthday. The dog immediately scratches at the collar and it flings off his neck, out the carriage window, and into the well near them. Whoops.

Zena thanks Al anyway with a kiss on the cheek for saving her life. Al is like gdi I came here to find out more about my parents but instead I find out there's a dog that shares my name smh

Genie returns and takes Aladdin back to his time, but the comic stays Zena, to which she's reunited with a beared man who has the same face as Aladdin named Hamid, who proudly exclaims he got a job selling lamps at the marketplace, so now the two of them can afford to get married. Zena expresses her happiness and excitement and then remarks that when the time comes, she knows exactly what to call their first son and what he thinks of the name "Aladdin" lmaoooooo

i mean

technically

i guess he's actually named after himself

since she's naming him after the boy she went on an adventure with

either way i'm laughing

Vent Familial (/neg)

Je n'en peux plus des conflits permanents.

De ma mère qui crie, qui s'énerve, n'explique pas pourquoi, fait mine d'ignorer le conflit pour le relancer deux minutes plus tard, et fait subir la punition du silence.

Et cette fois, ce n'est même pas envers moi, mais envers ma sœur.

Pour la faire courte, mon petit frère ne se sent pas très bien et il est allé prendre une douche. Ma mère a déposé sa serviette sur le radiateur de la salle de bain, et quelques minutes après ma sœur l'a décalée, par souci de praticité.

Ma mère s'est énervée après elle, lui demandant pourquoi elle "repassait sans cesse derrière [elle]" et faisait tout à son inverse, en lui "parlant comme de la merde" (parce qu'elle se justifie et comprend pas pourquoi elle s'en prend plein la gueule pour rien. Ma sœur a expliqué qu'elle avait pas vu que la serviette était mise là exprès, que c'était pas "dans le but d'aller à l'encontre de [ma mère]", et qu'elle avait rien fait de mal, rien qui justifie de se faire hurler dessus.

Ma mère a dit "aller c'est bon", puis "si tu me réponds comme ça tu peux aller te faire foutre", et ma soeur a refermé la porte de la salle de bain pour finir de se brosser les dents, ma mère est partie (genre 'la discussion est finie, t'es une ingrate, j'arrête là').

Puis à peine 30sec après, elle s'énerve dans le salon, puis dans la cuisine, et dit ''Je suis tout le temps là pour vous, 24/24H, 7/7J, 365j dans l'année, et on me parle comme de la merde, ça me casse les burnes ! vraiment je commence à en avoir marre ! Il y a un moment où je vais vraiment m'énerver et vous allez pas comprendre pourquoi ! (elle dit ça presque chaque semaine, et s'énerve presque chaque jour, du moins de ce que j'en vois quand je suis à la maison)".

Avant ça, elle disait les mêmes choses en parlant de ma sœur à la troisième personne, comme si elle n'entendait pas. Elle le lui a donc dit ''tu sais que je suis là hein ? je t'entends parler de moi''.

---

J'ai écrit ça hier soir, je n'ai pas eu le temps de le terminer, mais en bref : Les conflits j'en peux plus. Je fais tellement d'effort pour les éviter en permanence, et quand je suis avec mes ami.es je me rend compte que je ne devrais pas avoir besoin de le faire ; que mon environnement actuel n'est simplement pas sain pour moi. Ou en tout cas, ne l'est plus.

Vivement que je trouve un travail, que je puisse partir en colocation avec mon amie <3

Hayden.
