Not the Only One
•🌪️🍂🪵🏹•
Summary: Reader comes from an abusive family and is insecure about it showing up everywhere with bruises, but one night she comes across Daryl who is more like you than you know
Pairing: Young Daryl Dixon x f!reader
Content Warning: Abusive parents
•Masterlist•
Tumblr media
Growing up in a small town in Georgia can have its benefits, close friend group, late night walks, fun memories, but not for some, not for me I get the other side of a small town, the rough crowd and the judgmental stares from the well of kids who’s parents gave them everything they wanted
I never thought there was a problem with the way I lived as a kid but the older I got and realized that not everyone lives with abusive, negligent parents it was world shaking for me and I felt like a complete loser and I still do, I don’t have much some simple clothes and some drugstore perfume and makeup but that’s about it, others girls in my class had expensive name brand everything and judge those like me who didn’t
My dads drunk and takes his problems out on me, my moms a coward and won’t stand up for me so here I am walking around school with a cut down my eyebrow with a nasty bruise forming around
“What happened y/n old man beat on you again” Jessie says laughing as she walks by with her little click, I look back into my locker getting my books for science class sighing not ready for the day ahead full of more comments like that
I walk into Mr.jensons class taking my seat at the back, some people whispering as I walk through the class
“Okay class we have a new student transfering to our class from a different course, obvious people like me more than miss.smith’s music class” he says obnoxiously as the student enters our class
Daryl Dixon he lived a few houses down from me but we didn’t interact much, sometimes I’d see him take out the trash or see him sitting on the doc on the lake behind our houses, it was rumoured that his dad beat on him too but it’s not like we were gonna be friends because we’re abused that crazy…..right?
“You can go sit at the back next to y/n” Mr.Jenson points out to me
He sits down and I can smell his calming aroma, woodsy with a hint of cigarette
“Hi” I smiled meakly
“Hey, ya live on my street don’t ya” he asks slouching down in the chair
“Yeah, I’ve seen you around” so he’s seen me too
“Alright class listen up” the class went on like usual until the bell rang signalling the end of the day, I gathered up all my stuff shoving them in my bag and leaving the class, walking through the hallways heading for the exit when someone runs up next to me
“Hey, ya walking home?” Daryl asks looking down at me
“Oh yeah, I usually like to sit at the doc when I get back, don’t like to stay in the house much”
“Why not?” He asks as he continues to walk beside me back to our street
“I think you know, everyone talks about it” I say motioning to my bruised eyebrow
“They don’t understand, ain’t yer fault”
“It’s just……embarrassing” I say rubbing my arm as a nervous habit
“Yer old man?”
“Yeah, you?” He nods in agreement looking down
“Pretty shitty, wish I could just get out of here or just start fresh here” he hums making my heart warm, finally someone understands how I feel
We got to our street stopping infront of my house
“So ummm I’ll be down at the doc later if you wanna meet me there just to talk or whatever” I say
“Yeah I’ll see ya there” he says heading off to his house a few doors down
I walked into my house hoping nothing happens today, seeing my dad sat on his chair with a beer in his hand watching the tv
I try to walk past him to my room when he grabs my wrist
“Did you pick up the cigarettes from the store like I asked?” His voice is already angry, I completely forgot
“I……I forgot, I’m sorry” I whine as he tightens his grip
“Why can’t you ever listen, you know what this means”
“No please I’m sorry I’ll go get them now”
“It’s too late”
Tumblr media
Sitting on the doc was suppose to be a wind down form the day an escape from hell that is suppose to be a house, instead I’m sat here feeling like I went solar against concrete, my lip is busted severely, by cheek stings, bruises and whips against my back, the hoodie I’m wearing was irritating against my sore flesh
I’d do anything just to go back in time and run away with my sister but I was scared and young and now I’m miserable and constantly afraid
“Hey sorry I’m late” I heard from next to me, too deep in thought to have heard him approach
I kept my head down looking at the water
“It’s fine” I mumble
“Ya okay?” That one simple question broke the damn in me as tears spilled down my cheeks, I turn to him just wanting reassurance or comfort
“I forgot to get a pack of cigarettes on the way home” my voice quivers as he stares at my red cheek and bust lip
“How am I even suppose to cover this up”
“I could go kill him” he huffs anger rising in his features
“Everything hurts” I wince when he places his hand on my back, he pulled back quickly
“Do ya need help?”
“I don’t know how bad they are”
He moves behind me lifting my sweater up to my shoulders, revealing the old and new scars that littered my back with occasionally fresh bruises
“Oh baby girl I’m so sorry” he says under his breath but there was something there in his words that made it feel like he understood this type of beating
“Are they bad?”
“Don’t think ya need stitches but I don’t want ya going back there” he says bringing my sweater back down moving beside me again
“But where am I suppose to go?”
“Old man’s gone for a week, ya can stay at my place”
“Are you sure I don’t want to burden you”
“Ain’t a burden, yer staying with me, come on”
Tumblr media
His house was more or less just like mine but there is no surprise there, our fathers are basically the same, he brings me to his room and it’s pretty normal, some hunting stuff plain brown walls
“Thanks for this” I say sitting on the edge of his bed
“ ‘course, ya need anything?”
“Do you have any painkillers?” He went in his drawer and popped one in my hand, taking it hoping it will ease this discomfort
He jumped on the bed sitting next to me as a comfortable silence surrounds us
“I got em too”
“Huh?”
“Scars, don’t like to show em, don’t like to be reminded”
“I’m sorry Daryl, one day we’ll be happy, one day we’ll get out of this mess”
“Together”
Tumblr media

loved ur rejection angst ficc!! what about a fic where the roles are inverted? like its reader rejecting alex :) ?
Thank you! Thanks for the request!
"I can't right now." A Quackity Imagine.
Alex was in love. Oh, he was so in love. He would get lost in your eyes every damn time he'd look at you. His heart would beat faster than anything when you touched him, when you kissed his forehead, when you'd laugh about his stupid jokes... He was so in love it would hurt, but you... You were trying to move on from your stupid ex. Alex thought sometimes that, maybe, he'd have a chance with you.
"That's the day! Gonna say to Y/N that I love her." He says to the mirror and to his friend, Noah (most known as Foolish). "Dude, are you sure?!" He asks. "You said I should confess my love and now are you asking if I'm sure?! Really?!"
"Sorry, man. I just, like, yeah, you should, but... Are you sure?!"
"I'm not. But I have to have courage enough to tell a girl that I love her." Alex says and sighs. "Well, I'll do it." Foolish nods and gets up. "Well, fine. Good luck, dude! The worst that you can receive is a "ew, no.", you know?!"
"Thank you, it helps me so much." Alex is ironic and Noah laughs. "Well, bye." He lefts Alex's apartment. "What a great friend." The boy whispers.
"Heyy." You say to Alex as soon as you see him, the boy smiles to you and hugs you by the waist. "Hey, you look beautiful." He says and you smile. "Thank you, Alex!"
The boy took you to a fancy restaurant, he didn't say the reason, but you might knew it. Alex was acting more... Romantic with you in the past months, you thought he just wanted to make you feel better, but sometimes you'd see him watching you with shiny eyes.
You loved him. Of course, he was your best friend, but... Only your best friend, you know?! You never saw him in any other way.
"Y/N?" He calls you and you smile. "Yeah?!" You look at him with a smile. "What do you want to order?!" He asks you.
"Do you like me?!" You ask him right after, and Alex looks at you with confused eyes. "W-What? I... Wh... Who told you that?!"
"It's obvious, Alex. All the flowers, the fancy restaurants, the touches and glances... I'm not stupid, you know?!" You say, a little upset. You didn't even know why you were upset, but you just... You were passing through a lot of problems and Alex decided to like you?!? "I'm in love with you." He says. Oh, great. He decided to fall in love with you while your world is upside down!
"Alex, I... I don't like you back and I can't believe you made this mistake! I'm your best friend! And I'm passing through a lot of shit right fuckin' now, how can you even think about falling in..."
"I don't think, it's not a rational decision, Y/N, and you know it very well, right?! Because you still love your ex even with all the mistakes he..."
"Oh, shut up about my fuckin' ex! You don't understand, you never dated someone!" You cut him off and he looks at you with sadness in his eyes. "I just said I was in love with you and you say I don't understand the feeling?!"
"Are you sure that you're in love with me, Alex?!" You ask him. "Oh my God, of course I'm! Jesus, Y/N." He says, upset. "I can't believe you're saying all this shit to me, I swear, it's unbelievable."
"I... Alex, no, I don't want you loving me this way, okay? I just can't deal with this information right now!" You say, Alex gets up from his chair and starts to walk to the exit of the fuckin' fancy restaurant. You get up and follow him through the door. "Alex!" You yell his name when you reach him at the parking lot. "Go away, I don't want to talk with you right now!" You hear his broken voice and you know he's crying even when he's not looking at you. "I'm sorry, Alex! I can't love you this way! Not right now!"
"Whatever, Y/N!" He yells at you. "I'm sorry for falling in love with you, I didn't mean to. That's what you want to listen to, uh?!"
"You're being such a selfish person, Alex!" You yell back and he laughs. "And you're being an asshole, Y/N." He turns around to face you and you can notice his red eyes.
"Fuck you! It's not my fault I don't find you interesting enough to fall in love with." You say and the impact of what you just said made Alex back off a little. The pain in his eyes just made you realise how mean you were being with him.
"Alex, I didn't mean it. I swear, I'm sorry." You try to approach him, but he backs off again. "Just... Go, please! I don't want to see your face anymore."
"Alex, I swear.."
"Leave!" He yells and you turn around to leave the parking lot, knowing you lost your best friend, the only person that was with you while you were passing through all of this.
Alex watched you walk away and start to sob. It was worse than he thought it'd be.
You broke his heart.
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy the writing! :)
Requests are open!

Weirdly specific things Entreri would Approve or Disapprove of if he was a BG3 companion
APPROVE:
Taking the ring from Mattis and just walking away
Baa-ing at the red caps (ha ha idiots)
Saving Arabella by talking down the snake rather than Kahga (color him impressed, you saved the girl without stirring the pot)
Giving the Noblestalk to Derryth (maybe wife beaters should die)
Rejecting Raphael at every turn but especially rudely
Every "kill yourself" boss option in Act 2
Making someone other than him go onto the clown stage (ha ha idiot)
Supporting Mol's business ventures
Biting Crusher's toe off (he's kind of a freak sometimes, I'm sorry)
Taking Gortash's offer
Freeing Wyll from his contract (it's not like I secretly like that guy or anything, I hate heroes, stop looking at my boner when he fights)
Extorting the chest from Rugan then killing him later to stay on the Zhent's good side
Letting Lae'zel just do whatever murderhobo thing she wants tbh
DISAPPROVE:
Drawing the mustache on Vlaakith (you're gonna get us killed in this base full of githyanki for your fucking whimsy)
Convincing Rolan to stay in the Grove (1. not our business 2. all your preaching is gonna do is just get these guys killed too, is that really what you wanted?)
Siding with Minthara against the Grove, though he won't leave the party neccesarily
Giving the Noblestalk to Baelen (maybe wife beaters should die!!)
Telling Tara to stop eating pigeons (this noble creature is living life to its fullest)
Making him go up on the clown stage, he will be unspeakably livid
Sparing the goblins Ketheric tells you to kill (idiot did you even see that man, do you even know where we are right now)
Letting Wyll kill Karlach (a real professional knows a bullshit job when they see one, hero)
Drinking Jaheira's truth serum spiked wine (you're embarrassing me in front of an actually savvy person, why are you always like this, Tav)
Getting whipped by Abdirak (he is kinkshaming you)
Fucking the Emperor (he's kinkshaming you again but also are you an idiot, that man is using us)
Fucking Mizora (I resent Wyll as much as I do any self-proclaimed hero, but he trusted you)
(General note from Entreri: STOP HAVING SEX AT CAMP)
Petting Scratch (he is joyless, get a move on)
Paying to free the artist (you're embarrassing me in front of the other criminals)
Talking to Naaber, just at all
Asking the drow sex worker to roleplay as Drizzt Do'Urden (Entreri isn't there, he just senses he should hate you for some reason)
THINGS HE'S INTERESTINGLY NEUTRAL ON:
In theory letting Gale blow up the Netherbrain would make the most sense but... I hate gods.
He is alarmingly unfazed by you licking the spider.

9D 44M alive. Stood in the rain today as the sun set. And then today i made some art
-Striker 🦒 (sketch under cut)
Boo! I love giraffes. Turns out. And im here to leave information so. Whatever. I also lovee corned beef hash with eggs and bland oatmeal, as well as dark coffee and bitter fruit. My hair is longer and longer every day and im stoked for it. My tiny thin soft ass mustache is faint as hell you can barely see it, but it gives my trans ass euphoria.
Tumblr media
Been a week into the system and its. Yeah okay alright. It still sucks and im gonna bitch and moan the whole time (the others say thats a big part of it and praise me for it)
I just. Arrived out of nowhere! I like. Blinked and had the thought "oh shit, wait fuck this is me- Striker. I'm here? I'm in the system? Why do i understand that- oh. Oh."
And it's taken all 9 days to be as docile as i am and this isnt even the best ive felt. I know its gonna get better and i press onwards with that in mind and will ye look there? We made this!!

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.
Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.

bitches be like. i hate vegans so much that i’ve decided i like killing animals and its fine and i dont feel bad and animals dont have feelings and its fine and im cool subversive and different and edgy and like to post fucked up stuff to make vegans uncomfortable bc im just so cool
#you sound like every cishet republican man to me#you're not a Cool Subversive Leftist you're literally regressing by seeing animals as just objects of your pleasure and thats it lmao#im sorry but you dont just get to throw out all of veganism. it does infact have some roots in leftism.#you can sit there and cope with the fact you agree w some vegan talking point by calling it 'animal welfare' all you want#doesnt change the fact that a lot of those ideas in those circles were formed by vegans.#damn woooah vegans arent a monolith and dont all agree on the same shit woooahhh who knew#literally i have no idea how we even got to this point or how this would be surprising.#when i was on vegan twitter bitches were arguing all the fucking time within it. ur really gonna sit ther en tell me they're all secret#eco fash that hates native ppl and people who have to eat meat? ya sure???#you would think the individuals on tumblr- of all places- would understand how frustrating it would be to be grouped in with the worst#members of their community as if you represent them and are the sole spokesperson#you'd think they'd hate when someone jumps to conclusions about them based on their lifestyle#but naur. i think yall take it too personally. as if a vegan just being in a room is somehow trying to force you to be vegan.#literally grow tf up.#if a vegan being in the same room with you triggers feelings in you that you Have to stop eating meat- i really think thats a you problem#bud. homeboy hasnt even spoke to you leta lone look at you and apparently you feel this weird pressure now#idk man dont you think that pressure might be coming within?? maybe.... you do infact feel things and feel a lil guilty abt eating meat?#not telling you to stop... i still eat meat here n there. but at least im honest with myself about how it makes me feel to do it.#its infact normal to take a second to think about the loss someone made in exploitation to provide you with whatever.#if you can let yourself feel a lil guilt about buying a fast fashion thing you can sure as fuck finally extend your fuckin empathy to#animals and stop treating them like objects or toys.

Hi, I've been inspired by the composition and abstract style of your artwork for a while now, if I made an experimental art piece inspired by your composition style would you want me to credit you as an inspo? or would you just not be comfortable with me using your art as inspiration altogether? (which is fine btw, i don't wanna do smth that would make you uncomfortable)
oh sure! feel free! I don't mind at all lol
#ask#bakuspeech#tbh I do think this question is like. somewhat redundant in art. or idk unnecessary?#all of art is inspiration man. very frequently from art by artists you're never gonna have the chance to reach out to#large cause bc they've been dead for decades to a few centuries#and like. idk as an artist you kinda have to accept that people will actually look at ur art and interact with it in their own space?#so like. yeah there are things that if I see you do with my art I will block you for. but on principle I cannot bodily stop you#this is all to say that like. if the question is about my personal boundaries it's gonna be more complicated. like if you make something#with ill intention and then cite me as an inspiration source. of course I'd not like that#but also that will be on me to reflect on that and like. do what I need to do#but outside of that. saying 'don't take inspiration from my art' is 1/genuinely patently unenforceable and 2/antithetical to#the way that I do art at all#like! I thrive on remixing! it's what transformative fanstuff is. how would I ever get on someone else's case for doing the exact same thin#anyways yeah don't worry about it I guess all of the above is more like. somewhat of a blanket permission#do whatever you want with my art! if it's cool and u want me to see it feel free to tell me. if u know I wont like it dont get caught by me#I am aware that I have before mentioned things you can't do with my art. those are personal boundaries. I enforce it in my own spaces#I have no power in yours. it's just how it is. use ur judgement. have fun chillin#that's it babey I go get snack now. its past mid autumn so the moon cakes are on sale so Im gonn#a get a bag of dried corn

and unfortunately i am like the equivalent of one of those true crime girlies but like, with white collar crime and corporate scandals. except instead of getting paranoid about random people minding their own business being serial killers coming for me, i just keep telling every tall skinny whiteboy friend about how much financial crime they could get away with if they put on the right posture and confidence.
#is this worse or better. is this worse or better.#they never take me up on it. the whiteboys ive collected tend to be too kind and awkward to do any of this tbh#BUT IMAGINE.....WHAT YOU COULD GET AWAY WITH.....#sorry my dad once told me about a job he was contracted to do to set up some computer equipment for some college#and apparently a day or two later he was contacted because someone just walked in with confidence and stole thousands of dollars of equimen#and they wanted to know if he saw anything. he didnt cause he didnt really work there but apparently it was just some tall skinny white guy#glasses simple short hair probably a plaid button up. it was the 80s. you could do anything if you looked like that. its crazy#maybe my dad should have never told me about that because it like lit a fire in my eyes. im not gonna do any white collar crime i prommy#but lemme tell you. i think about it. all the time HJSKHKDS im too conspicuous but MAN if i was a tall skinny whiteboy.............#and okay the financial ciminal possessing my body aside - i also just get really into this stuff#its my favourite nonfiction stuff to read about. like to get serious for a sec: i wanna see companies get caught is the thing#being into this stuff tho - you will feel a lot of righteous and burning anger about how little these companies end up paying#so many huge life ruining corporate scandals have only just barely started paying out damages to victims like. maybe this year#it can feel like a start to see shit like whatever was going on with we charity or somehting get noticed#but theres always still a long way to go. still exploitation going unchecked. it keeps on happening but i wont forget

I was falling asleep because it's 4:30 in the morning but then a friend that I have a mild crush on texted me and asked what horror movies corresponds to which areas at camp, and clearly Climbing Wall is Vertigo, Aquatics is Jaws and Ecology-Conservation is The Birds, (these were her assignments) but she wanted to know whether Blair Witch fit Scoutcraft (basic scouting skills) or Handicraft (arts and crafts) more, and I said Handicraft because of the figurine things, then she asked what Scoutcraft would be, and full disclosure, I like horror movies but I don't watch a lot of them. I'm picky. Because I don't like gore or zombies and I have anxiety so it's difficult. Okay. So I literally Googled "outdoor horror movies" and tried to find one that I recognized, and thankfully Midsommar was on that list and I've seen and enjoyed Midsommar, so that's what I said. The only other horror movies I can remember seeing are Cabin in the Woods (masterpiece but doesn't fit) and one I can't remember the name of but it's about a video game and has Frankie Muniz and the guy that played Mary Lightly in Psych. And tbh, most of my horror movies knowledge comes from parody episodes of Psych. Especially the Hitchcock episode. I only knew Vertigo because of Psych. This post was a whole lot of inconsequential nonsense, but I get a pass because it's 4:30am and I'm talking to a cool girl.
#okay shes beautiful. one of the kindest people ive met#shes trans. she works at a summer camp. she knows horror movies. we became fast friends#shes so easy to talk to. we met over a one week long event and the rest of our friendship has been over text#its nice to have someone to talk to about horror movies at 4:30am (3:30am her time)#especially Midsommar because i really love that movie. im trhing to find a way to being up Cabin In The Woods#because its truly my fav horror movie and one of my fav movies period. its so good#'but austyn you said you dont like zombies or gore' stfu this movie is the exception#how can you see the travel mug bong. chris hemsworth die via atv over a ravine. the guy getting killed by a mermaid in beautiful irony#and not think that its the best movie ever written#i could talk about that movie for forever#i asked her fav horror movie and im going to watch whatever one she says#even if its gory and full of zombies. im gonna watch it. in my type of strange way of trying to connect#fuck she said the original texas chainsaw massacre. i feel like thats gonna be gory. but im a man of my word#shesaid she doesn't usually have the patience for movies or tv. truly a woman after my own heart#jk jk im really trying not to be weird i promise. but i dont usually have the attention span for movies or tv (especially movies) either#its almost 5am and i should be asleep but instead im not#now im really feeling some horror. i might make the next book i read horror again#if youve read this far and have any good horror book recommendations pls lmk#edit: i read the plot synopsis for texas chainsaw massacre and i cannot watch it. dear god.

actually i hate those posts about "not every interest is a hyperfixation" and "stop pathologizing healthy whatever" because like. my stimulation-oriented brain does process "interest" differently from a neurotypical one, such that the line between "interest" and "hyperfixation" is near-indefinable. and more importantly?
talking about neurodivergent experiences isn't inherently "pathologizing." I don't fucking "suffer" from hyperfixations, i relish and benefit from them. They're an important part of my day-to-day enjoyment, and even my identity.
stop shutting down neurodivergent language. tbqh i don't care all that much if neurotypicals go through a collective "phase" of calling every interest a "hyperfixation." That will have next-to-no impact on how neurodivergents get treated on the ground, except maybe (a) normalizing our language and (b) making some misunderstandings of that language more common - chiefly misunderstandings that will err on the side of assuming our traits and behaviours are Normal. and while that does have its own issues, it's still miles less materially dangerous than the hostile whispers that currently constitute the majority of public opinion on neurodivergent terms. (As the word "hyperfixation" becomes more common, I might even be able to use it around my dad without him assuming I'm broken.)
Quit focusing your efforts on shutting down ignorant-but-well-intentioned individuals, and carelessly or intentionally catching the majority of neurodivergents in your crossfire. if you're worried about "overpathologizing normal behaviours," though, maybe pay more attention to how the fucking DSM and medical profession treats us.
We aren't the ones pathologizing every aspect of our normal, valuable identities.

tried going to bed early bc ive just been sitting staring at the wall or my phone all afternoon but it's been 3 hours now and I can't stop crying. :(
#I dont even know why im so fucking sad. this last week has felt like getting hit by a train repeatedly for no reason whatsoever#and it fucking hurts so bad and i cant fix it because i dont know whats wrong!!!!!!#i think thsts why its been so hard sleeping lately like my brain is problem solving but theres nothing there to be solved#and i dont even have anyone to talk to about it and even if i did i wouldnt have anything to say bc i dont know im just fucking. sad#like yeah ive gotten upset abt other things but thats me projecting my mental state onto everything. theres no original cause#unless it really is just pms and some hormonal shit which is likely but kinda insane to think abt. like yeah my body has decided#to flood the entire fucking system with Kill That Egg™ for a straight week except its too effective and makes me want to kill myself also#but apparently not fucking effective enough to start my actual fucking period. yippee#i want a thousand year long hug and to cry rly snottily into someones shirt and then to fall asleep and wake up feeling rested#man. nothing makes me feel any different. exercising and sleeping and socialising and eating and showering and reading#and i can feel my interest in things trickling away like i havent been able to do a lot of shit i rly want to bc of this barrier#and ive been trying to make myself do some things regardless bc inactivity will just make it worse. but nothing works!!!!!!!#i dont even know anymore man. i do everything right and im still as depressed as i was like 8 years ago#and i know thats just the depressed brain talking like i know i dont constantly feel like this but its hard to see outside of it man#u spend ur whole life drowning but its ok bc sometimes u get ur head above the surface long enough to take a breath or whatever#insert overused mentally ill metaphor here etcetcetc#ok i think ive run out of things to say im gonna try sleep again. day 1 billion of making longass vent posts sorry everyone#gn#.vent

#everything needs to stop being so interesting. like bro i wanna focus on one thing at a time#but not its like everything constantly so im like trying to hype myself up to do photosynthesis stuff bc#its interesting and will b useful before i start my phd#but my brain is like: no. u want to draw and learn about the history of religion in the near east#someday someone will approach me wanting to convert me to their religion and they will not be prepared for my readiness to#jump into theological discussion. like if my dad dragged me to church now id probably go harass the pastor afterwards and b very critical#abt their presentation lmao. religion is just super interesting from an academic perspective#it is a bit weird tho bc now when i see ppl getting weird and gate keepy abt obscure religious stuff im like bro wtf#thats probably an aspect taken from other traditions of the time before the judeo christian god was consolidated as an idea#like theres so much lore and interpretation wtf r u talking abt? and then im like oh wait. i somehow forgot this is a religion and ppl#believe these stories as the word of god. which makes it even more interesting bc it makes academic discussion contentions#sigh. whatever. also shout out to the time i got into the truck for sampling. turned to my lab mate and went: hey i went in deep on the#jesus lore so im gonna rant at u for like an hour about unpacking jesus the man thr myth thr legend lmao#to b fair it was kinda his fault i started on this path bc hes like weird and judgmental abt ppl believing in religion and i was like hm i#dont like that. religion is interesting. i will not learn more bc u have annoyed me. bc that's how my brain works and here we r#last year evolution was my big thing and this year its near eastern religion lmao#unrelated#*i will lean more. not i will not learn more

i am awake (due to. Unfortunate Health Related Circumstances Yesterday Evening. i am fine now i think but was having some very sudden weird flareup of pain symptoms and had to try to get myself to bed so i did not licherally pass out on the floor. mission success at least lol) at 6:30 am and i am currently alone in the living room and letting my morning meditations kick in so i can go brush my teeth and i've got the tv on for background noise/light as per usual when im just kinda sittin down here and like.
maybe its the Crisp Cold New England Winds Of Winter or maybe its the Not Usually Awake This Early Under Circumstances Where I Am Not Rushing To Get Ready For Something And Can Actually Just Contemplate My Thoughts. but something about sitting down here as the sun slowly peeks out from the curtains feeling exhausted and fatigued with cartoons and toy ads playing on tv is really envoking the feeling of being a kid before my public school system forcibly ejected me from completing my standard education because i am disabled (😕) when i still had some kind of slight excitement or anticipation of going somewhere that had other kids my age that i could occasionally hang out with during recess or looking forward to learning from one of the teachers who were kind and compassionate and patient with me instead of cold and dismissive....
like... its not necessarily Nostalgia because school in general was genuinely such a traumatizing experience for me as a disabled kid from a "non-traditional" lesbian family in the early 00's-early 2010's, and the fact that i can even contemplate on any of this stuff this early in the morning is very much because i actually have medication treatment for the adhd i've struggled with my whole life that i did not have until abt 3 yrs ago into my 20's. but. idk. its a bittersweet sort of feeling im not entirely sure how to describe but i havent felt it this strong in so many years?? like its kind of making me tear up right now and i dont fully understand why lol. something about my inner child im sure etc etc. its cuz ur always trying 2 heal that damn inner child (my brain says 2 myself)
