△ for Mura: of all the things your father did to you and forced you to do, what left the longest lasting (emotional) wounds?

10/10 v uncomfy [this got long, 910 words long, so under the read more it goes ]

Mura shifts in her chair. she clearly has to think about this deeply, but after a deep breath she starts talking.

"When i was still new to this world, he visited me and my lady mother. his hand dwarfed my shoulder as he made me look him in the eye, and he gave me my first order."

She looks away before starting her next sentence, a stiffness to her jaw, "prove that you are worthy of my blood in your veins"

"I cant have been more than a few winters old, a midwinter child. The darkest night of the year" she looks like she has had many people comment on that. she laughed bitterly, "my first encounter with my father, a threat and a challenge."

She looks into your eyes, the white and pink of her eyes no less startling for their mixing, her full gaze unsettling, "for those who haven't spent a century learning to interpret my father, the challenge was to be better than the failures i had the... pleasure of witnessing the downfalls of" unspoken, that she had orchestrated many of those downfalls herself, later on.

She shakes her head to dislodge the bloodstains and screams of what in another life would have been her siblings, but in this were just nameless warnings and examples.

"A threat that i could not be seen to fail, like them, as i carry part of him, and no part of him can fail. a threat that my punishment would be all the more severe for my special status-" another bitter laugh "- after all, the higher the tower, the further to fall"

She shifts again in her chair, frowning. "Ha. i suppose that's not the whole truth." a pause, "well it is one truth. having me be born to be his weapon is the reason I'm like... well this" she gestures to herself, a sneer on her lips.

with a sigh she continues "but when has this damned potion made it easy for me."

"Three decades is a long time to spend with one person, or at least it was for me. the only constants i had was my father, his favored didn't stay that way for long, and shot lifespans got shorter around him"

"i suppose i had my mother, ill as she was, always their to give me the education on how to be a proper eleven lady" Mura's grimace speaks for itself on her feelings about her mother. she moves on quickly, preferring to speak of the next uncomfortable topic than the one just hinted at.

"i was still a child in eleven years, and i had lacked consistent companionship. i let my guard down." her head shakes, "not really. well i did, just not at the start. it was a mission, like many others."

the slight tremor of her voice makes it clear it didn't stay that way

"but a year is a long time to deceive someone, let alone thirty. its not wise to lie completely for such a long time, as holes are bound to form, suspicions too,"

"He never disproved. not explicitly. he gained much from that relationship, much that no-one else could have got him, for i was the best of his tools, for better or worse,"

"Still, those gains ran out eventually." Mura's voice is almost a whisper now, low and catching on words. like a lover confessing a secret in the dead of night.

"our time together ran out eventually" her stony face was mistakable for a statue, her voice stiff too.

She hasn't looked at you for a while now, her eyes almost closed.

"that's your answer. damn you." her bitter laugh from earlier is nothing compared to the dry cackle that emerges from her mouth "that's all your getting. your close enough. you can say it yourself. i will no-"

something tripped her tongue, she tries again, carefully enunciating her words, "I will n-"

she jumps up and slams her fist on the table, blood from where her nails had been digging into her palms, shining in the light, shining like her eyes, their full force now upon you once again.

"When he ordered- When He ordered me to kill Her" her voice trembles with fury, but its loud now, and growing louder

"When i dug that blade into her throat. That's whats done the most damage." Her canines shine in the light to, "when he told me to kill Her and I JUST DID IT" shes yelling now, but then her voice breaks on the last word and her next are back to a whisper, her eyes away from yours,

"He- He didn't even need to force me. The threat was always there. It was always there. Since i was born, since he first put his hand on my shoulder, he could do anything to me, make me do anything."

"He made me kill her. He made me kill the only part of myself that was good"

"And the true worst part? he made me love him for doing it. he made me grateful for the chance to prove myself to him. he acknowledged me as his daughter, as his success."

This time her laugh was wet enough to be mistaken for a sob, "All i had to do was kill her. All i had to do was damn myself."

you barely hear it, one last confession from the wicked woman before you, "and i didn't even hesitate"

[there's three answers. the worst thing he did to her was make her be born. the thing that left the most scars was him ordering her to kill her friend, and the worst thing he made her do was manipulate her into sacrificing her friend for his acceptance willingly]

#mura hagdaughter #here you go! #i uhhh really liked the way some of yall answered these in charecter so i gave it a shot and... it ran away from me #over 900 words damn it did runaway from me #thank you!!! #this was so fun #it has an obvious answer but also the way of getting to that answer is fascinating #and she is a midwinter child #21 of the 12 month #thebirdwrites

The BatKids once said…

Part 5!

Dick (25): if you’re not at least a little bit gay for your friends, then what kind of friend are you?

Jason (19): I’m not like other girls. Unlike them basic bitches, I don’t die when I’m killed.

Stephanie (18): I was so caught up on being gay that I forgot I’m bi.

Cass (18): I warned you, I’m perfect.

Duke (16): alrighty, so according to my school, it is the students responsibility to contact the department to let them know there’s a power outage or the internet is down so they can deal with it. However, if you’re like me or have any basic computer skills, you may be wondering… HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO EMAIL THE DEPARTMENT??

Tim (16): I hate when people ask me, 'What did you do today?' Buddy listen, I woke up at noon and then it was five p.m., okay? I don't KNOW!

Damian (14): army, attack! *unleashes hoard of rabid raccoons*

When I post these I try putting them in order of age. Decided to check if I was right and I sorta was? Didn’t know Cass and Steph’s age, and while checking I decided to go through everyone else’s age as well. I was off with Dick, Jason and Damian on how I imagined them to be.

the fact that the only thing i made myself for breakfast this week is toast with extra cheese and tomato is embarrassing

#like all my friends and family (including my siblings) knows how to make stuff in the kitchen without having a panic attack #like my sister is 21 and she cooks and bakes since she’s 12 #and my brother who’s gonna turn 17 next month knows how to make stuff as well #like sometimes if he weren’t around to take care of me i would’ve starved (jk lol) #like 2 days ago i bought frozen pizza and he had to put it in the oven for me #and i think it’s the same shit with why it took me ages to start driving lessons #it’s kind of how in b99 jake gets so proud of himself for boiling an egg #and amy says it’s a big step and she is so proud of him #so this. #or speaks now

[thedreadvampy]

glad that Jay is around to help me with planning my Please Diagnose Me pitch bc when we ask 'how is this negatively affecting your life' I'm like hm. can't open jars bc my fingers come out of joint. can't have sex without my hip dislocating. it's fairly inconvenient that all shoes make my feet bleed and I can't brush my teeth without tearing up my gums.

and they're like. yes these are all good points you should mention. have you considered that Being In Constant Pain is also an effect it has on your life?

yeah. hadn't thought of that cause it doesn't actually stop me doing things most of the time. but now that you point it out, that is only bc I'm incredibly stubborn and don't take care of myself. so yeah.

they very astutely pointed out that a major part of lifelong disability is that you develop a lot of coping strategies to the point that you kind of don't notice that some things are affecting you bc you've found ways around them that mean you can still do the things you're trying to do. but that doesn't mean that they're not affecting you or that a doctor is not going to want to hear about them.

it's really easy to normalise stuff is the thing. like as per my bio I refer to myself as 'slightly disabled' a lot bc I am still. broadly speaking. capable of doing most things. it's just that it's often painful/exhausting, I need a lot of workarounds, and I can't sustain it long term.

but the thing is that uhhhhhhh that's only """slightly disabled"""" if I assume other people are also struggling with those things but maybe slightly less.

one of the revelatory things about having these conversations is how much I'm finding that many people don't even have a slight manifestation of these issues.

like it doesn't hurt people's hands At All trying to open a stiff jar lid or clap or pick something up at a slightly wrong angle. other people Aren't In Pain unless something's actually wrong. to most people 'my feet hurt after a 10 hr standing shift' doesn't mean 'my feet and legs physically will not take my weight for 48 hours after a 10 hr standing shift'. some people's feet just never bleed at all unless their shoes are WILDLY the wrong size. when most people say 'I'm tired' they mean 'I'm ready to take a break' not 'I feel whole-body sick and it's a painful struggle to string a whole thought together and I will feel unbearably ill if I move or open my eyes.'

like there's a lot of situations where I only register as Problems the things that I legitimately can't work around or ignore. like I started using a cane bc I was uncontrollably falling in the street bc my knees and ankles would just give way without warning. but now I have the cane so I've stopped noticing that - my legs still sometimes abruptly lose integrity but I can catch myself with the stick so I no longer fall (except occasionally when I trip myself up or I'm wearing inappropriately high shoes that make an ankle slippage harder to correct for) so I don't. consider it a thing that greatly affects my life. but like. it is, right? it's a thing I have to account for that other people don't. idk. it's all very interesting.

#red said #disability #also you know. I'm 29 and still just now realising that stuff that's affected me since i was 6 or 7 at most is Actually An Issue #so idk that's also interesting #bc none of this is new #i don't generally notice New Symptoms i notice that Other People Don't Have This Thing #or sometimes i try and do something I've not done much before and go 'huh. that's a problem.' #like i always had trouble with pain and instability in my legs and feet on long cafe shifts #but as a teenager i did 1-2 8hr shifts a week which knackered me but was manageable #and at 21 i tried to hold down a job doing 5 10-12 hr shifts a week and it fucking destroyed me #literally. i would spend all the time i wasn't at work in bed bc i was in so much pain #i missed a bunch of shifts bc i wasn't physically able to walk two streets to work let alone actually do a shift #like i called in stock several times bc the pain was so bad it took me like an hour to get from the kitchen to the bathroom #*sick #and obviously i got fired within a month #but like. that was the first time i registered that this was harder for me to do than other people. #even though I'd had a similar job with similar physical strains for i think 5 years as a Saturday job? #bc it has to get to the intensity that you CAN'T just work through it in order to register as a limitation. at least for me. #bc i naturally just assume that everyone feels some degree of this shitty and they're just hiding it better than me #bc I'm trying to hide it and get on with things! don't want to be a whiner! #so it's only when it gets to the point that no amount of willpower will make it hideable that you notice that nobody else has it at all #bc you will say to someone 'i am experiencing The Suffering very strongly today you know we've all been there haha' #and they'll be like 'what's The Suffering? that sounds like you have a serious medical condition' #and I'm like 'no dude no I'm not explaining it well. you know the Suffering? the Suffering that we all get #as a natural consequence of this everyday task? well I'm being a bit pathetic about it today so i can't move and it hurts to breathe' #and they're like 'no i literally have never heard of the Suffering' #shocked pikachu emoji

[cithaerons]

a list of “slow fashion” companies that are sustainable and made of good materials just came up on my dash and i clicked around just out of curiosity and like idk it was very interesting, i guess a sober reminder of the fundamental tension at the heart of so much of fashion capitalism - it’s not bad for clothing to cost money, it’s actually good and necessary because it means the people who make them are being paid, the clothing is being made from quality materials, etc. clothing - like food - requires a tremendous amount of labor and that should be acknowledged and respected. however it does unfortunately mean that i personally cannot dream of buying said clothing. 

screenshot not to “cancel” these companies because i’m glad they exist and they have every right to charge as much as they do but just to illustrate what i mean:

(i’ll add that there were a small number on this list that were more affordable and that’s great!)

#i don't want to sound awful but after rent i live off 800 a month and that has to go food and occasional drinks with friends and buying #basic toiletries etc and if i have money left to buy a t-shirt it definitely won't be a $155 t-shirt #i understand if you go and buy a clothing haul from forever 21 once a month and then discard it all in six months etc it would be better to #just spend that money on one or two pieces of quality clothing. but i myself buy new clothing like once every two years and regularly wear #clothing that i have had since age 12.

#my birthday? you mean the loneliest day of the year? #you mean the yearly marker of another 12 months spent alone in pain and sad and unseen #cool cool cool cool love it here already crying and it’s been 21 minutes cool #wish i had an eddie munson to hug me #that’s all i really want at this point #helena speaks

ughsfagaggstqusaaaaaaaa

#everything is fine #just needed to scream into the void #exam time is getting closer and the stress is getting higher #its okay. its one of the can be left for september classes. so it will be okay. i mean everyone has to fail some classes every now and then #okay lets focus on sth else #its her♡ birthday today #now the 2 of my friends are 21 which is extremely strange to say #and in less than 2 months ill also be 21? but im still like 12 how did that happen #anyway i have to get ready #byee #jo says stuff #personal ramblings

[saddragonhours]

see i dont flirt with anyone bc i genuinely believe that others find me disgusting and would be grossed out if i even tried

im sure thats the reason noone tries approaching me either bc theyre afraid my gross me would somehow rub off on them

idk maybe it has to do with being the fat kid all my life that noone wants to hang out with as friends much less date

#spinach 12/21 23 #im tired and i start thinking like this when i dont have enough energy in my me for distractions #ahaha im sure noone wants to see me posting self depreciating shit like this #ahaha im sure noone wants to see me #idk i wanna be lusted after and told im handsome and pretty #fuck ill even take being called cute bc that means at least someone likes my appearance right? #idk id grown contented with being alone and having noone like me like that and then for a few short months someone did tell me they liked me #and that they liked how i look

[reesestshirt]

When I was in middle school, I tried to learn how to crochet. I knew how to knit already, so I figured ‘how hard could it be’ and used my Christmas money on a brand new set of aluminum hooks and a how-to book.

To say it was difficult was an understatement. I spent hours pouring over my book, begging to gain some inkling of understanding from what felt like incomprehensible runes. My reward? One lopsided trapezoid of lumpy fabric and a resolve to never pick up a crochet hook again.

And so life went on, I finished middle school and high school without giving crochet so much as a second glance. In college, I read about how crochet couldn’t be replicated by a machine, it was unique in a way that knitting and many other fiber arts weren’t.

For Christmas last year, my girlfriend gave me what I now consider to be my most prized possession: a crocheted plush of my favorite pokemon. I raved over her skills and, since she never learned how to knit, we decided to have a yarn date at some point and teach each other our respective skills.

We never did get around to that yarn date. She passed a few months after our declaration, leaving me to inherit what was left of her yarn.

Nearly a decade after my initial attempt, I got ready for the toughest battle of my life. My weapons? One skein of yarn, a YouTube video, and a crochet hook that I had somehow never gotten rid of.

I slowly made my way through the video, redoing my work a couple times until I was satisfied with my product: a small, slightly misshapen rectangle.

I looked at my pristinely-made pokemon plush with hope for the first time in months and thought to myself, ‘maybe crocheting isn’t the hardest thing in the world, maybe you were just 12.’

Maybe this isn’t the hardest thing in the world. Maybe I’m just 21.
