Hob begs away to the roof for some air and makes a detour to the bathroom on the third floor. He is tempted, just for a moment, to open the door to the space under the sink, to see what, if anything, remains there, but is able to stay his hand. Instead, Hob reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a rather thick envelope, a letter, sealed, with Dream scrawled on the outside. He props it up behind the faucet of the sink, the cream-white of the paper stark against the dark charcoal marble of the countertop and wall tiles. “Well, you asked.” He nods once and heads up to the roof.

Pros of marrying your friend for tax purposes:

Taxes are filled together

Can pool money together for bigger stuff

The occasional ass pat

More food more of the time

Have someone to watch TV shows with

Cons of marrying your friend for tax purposes:

No sloppy kisses on the mouth without it getting awkward :(

It's not your house, it's our house

They steal your snacks

The gay sex could be better

Quick Rant! Warning: Mentions of R*pe! Please do not scroll down below if you are uncomfortable with the subject.

Marital rape is an abhorrent, unconscionable act that simply has no place in our society. To think that someone would violate their spouse in such a way is utterly incomprehensible and inexcusable. It is a crime that does not carry the same weight as sexual assault, but its harm and trauma are just as real.

Marital rape is a manifestation of the power dynamics associated with gender roles in our society, often driven by patriarchal beliefs. This type of violence is used to control and subjugate basically anybody else who is more vulnerable in the marriage; usually the wife.There is no justice in the law when it comes to marital rape. We need stricter laws and harsher punishments. It is a horrific crime and should be treated like any other sexual offense. To allow a spouse to get away with something like this is an insult to justice and any sense of morality. Marital rape is wrong.

Ripped. Apart. Pieces. Everywhere.

June 22, 2021

Deafening.

The silence.

It's fucking deafening to me.

To my ears, to the deepest, darkest, and saddest thoughts frozen in my mind, and to the flecks of my soul somehow left from this debacle of a marriage.

He raped me tonight.

It's minutes from when it happened. I sit in silence on the toilet. Teardrops pushing themselves down my face, and dripping off of my chin.

I'm frozen.

Even though this is the first and only time he has actually raped me, it is not nearly as damaging as the emotional rape I've endured for the past decade.

The manipulation, slow moving like lava on its way to burn out the rest of my soul. My heart.

What I believed to be true about myself is on the outside of this snow globe I'm in. She can see me, but I have no idea she is there, banging on the glass, working tirelessly trying to break through.

February 7, 2024

She never gave up on me. She never left, even though it felt like it. She just couldn't reach me.

She waited. And when I got away from him, she knew not to overwhelm me. She helped me take those baby steps, day by day, to work on finding each and every remaining fleck of dust scattered of myself.

We found them, and we started rebuilding me. A new and improved version of me. And those Ripped. Apart. Pieces. Everywhere. became an afterthought instead of a prevalent one.

They are still there.

They are still a piece of me.

But they will never EVER control me.

I control me now.

And now I am his deafening silence.

Keefe, there's such a thing as being too devoted

Everyone praised Keefe for his absolute devotion to Kelvin, but really, that's no way to maintain a relationship. His extreme mismanagement made the breakup partially (almost entirely) his fault.

Think of it in practical terms. You've done everything with everybody since you were 16; then you find God and start looking for a committed Christian relationship, You develop feelings for your good buddy, and you can tell he's interested, too, but the poor guy is severely repressed. He' has had no previous relationships, almost no sexual experience. He doesn't even realize that he's gay. Shouldn't you take charge, gently guide him into recognizing who he is, teach him how a gay Christian romance works? Instead, for whatever reason, Keefe let Kelvin take charge.

He completely ignored his own needs and desires. Kelvin leans in for a kiss, then changes his mind and walks away. Keefe just shrugs instead of yelling "Hey, buddy, my mouth is over here!"

He let Kelvin control the physical intimacy, too, resulting in random, guilt-ridden non-reciprocal sexual acts with no discussion, before or after, of how sexuality fits into a gay Christian relationship. (We only saw one on screen, but Keefe did not act the least surprised, so certainly there were others.)

He let Kelvin decide how to define the relationship, but it was the near-virgin's first romance, and he was absolutely unqualified to figure out where they were and where they were going. Kelvin: "You're my...um...best...dude friend of a cousin." Keefe: "No, I'm your boyfriend. Say it with me."

He went along with all of Kelvin's plans, no matter how stupid, with minimal or no complaints: "Hey, brother, do you think it's a good idea to let children play with dildos without asking their parents? If we want kids to stay away from smut, should we be literally driving them to adult stores? Without asking their parents?" That's subservient, not supportive.

He wasn't really Kelvin's boyfriend at all. More like his puppy dog.

There are four toilets in our house, and the husband and I of course just have to have the same favorite one. 🚽

Wish I'd been more assertive with my in-laws after I got married.

Listen, don't get me wrong, I love my brother-in-law, BUT after I got married to my husband, his mom and grandmother basically threw him off on us to live with without asking us or discussing it with us.

The result is that the hubs and I have been married 8 years now and have had not ONE MINUTE of privacy to ourselves. We had to SELL OUR FUCKING WASHER & DRYER so my BIL could follow us to another house. Having had to sacrifice so much already to take care of a grown man against my will, I've already made it very fucking clear to him that when we move, again, he is NOT welcome to come with us.

I started this post off composed, but once again, thinking about it in the slightest has immediately pissed me off. We'd have to go on vacation to get privacy because we can't have it in our own house -- and surprise, we haven't been able to afford a vacation since we got married. And, because we had to get rid of our washer and dryer so my fucking brother-in-law, who's the same age as me, can have a bedroom in MY house even though I don't want him there, we have to try to go to the laundromat anytime we need to clean anything. It's cumbersome and I have made my feelings about it known. He knows he's burdensome to me.

My whole point here is, if you marry someone and their in-laws try to hijack and sabotage your happiness by circumventing your choices and decisions, especially without even discussing potential options with you first, it will hopefully be before you're married so you can set boundaries with them and tell them to fuck off out of your lives if they can't respect your limits. If you don't, you'll end up like me, married to a man with whom you haven't had one moment alone in 8 years because HIS GODDAMN USELESS BROTHER LIVES WITH US. I've never wanted to hit a couple of old-ass fucking bitches more in my whole life.

So Daniel went into a Heat at Michael’s wedding. Seemed like a good thing, because it forced Terry and him together again. I suppose it also made it easier on Daniel to be touched by his husband like this once more, when the last time…

But what happened in the immediate aftermath? After the Heat ended, and it was just Daniel and Terry and what had happened to bring them here to another country, to that little room.

Was there tension? Nervousness? Relief? Sadness? Fear? Happiness? Awkwardness? How did Terry and Daniel feel? What happened in the day(s) immediately following before they boarded the ship to New York? How were things between them?

I think the right word here is 'raw'. Daniel was exhausted and extremely sensitive. The heat was rough on him, he was angry and sometimes upset at the sensations, only that the need was bigger than the fear, was angry at Terry, while really craving him too, so it was a rollercoaster and afterwards it was pure instinct for the both of them. Upset omega that needs his Alpha, because of course also pregnant omega again. He needed Terry's protection for everything. Wouldn't get out of bed, wouldn't let go of Terry, clung to his sister Ness in the few moments it couldn't be helped (they needed to get back for their things if anything). Wouldn't be alone, kept scolding Ness for not being there more, kept crying, slept like dead, woke up calling for Terry, then sobbed for his puppies in his arms. That was only a day or two, but it felt very long. Even Michael came over for a bit, but that only upset him more, "Why aren't you with your mate you should be with your MATE!!" so Terry sat down with him in the evening sun and sang old Irish ballads into his ear. Another flood of tears when Daniel realised he was pregnant, how could they have the puppy be alone with them when puppy should be with their siblings, "It's only a few days -" "Puppy can hear their voices in the womb shut up what do you know!" He pulled himself together slightly after that, still extremely upset at leaving Ness in Italy - "When are you coming HOME, you're family we NEED you" then in a flood of happy tears when hearing Robby sing the ABC song through the telephone and hearing that Yasmin was determined to catch a crow and keep it for a pet, any minute now, she'd show him, Mama!

Very sweet, very quiet for the boat journey, going absolutely nowhere without Terry. Lots of crying fits, shaking, cuddling, sometimes a smile and a hint of his old cheekiness. He sleeps a lot. When people on the boat watch him worriedly, Terry mouths "With pup!" at them and many assume it's his first pup and spoil him silly. Daniel and Terry don't correct them. It might as well be, with the amount of turmoil they've been through.

When they're home, absolutely full to bursting with the feast Lucille had prepared for them, the puppies all asleep on the car ride over and tucked in with all the kisses, does Daniel finally relax enough to fall asleep on the couch, head lolling against Terry's shoulder.
