#But I can't fuck up my nails (I can't)

[butterflysonnets]

yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

#eve text #elmike #stranger things #byler #only tagging byler because i feel like yall will like this take lol #tagging tagging tagging WHAT ARE EVERYONE ELSE'S THOUGHTS #god i can't believe i'm making a post about stranger things. this feels like poking a bear #i'm not particularly anti m*leven but like... they'd have to do something pretty special at this point for me to feel like it's viable #i'm seeing the bts of s5 and it's got me Having Thoughts #elmike friendship is something i am so passionate about #even before i ever liked byler (didn't ship at all until s4 even though i knew it was a thing before) i've felt this way about elmike #i always believed they were close friends at heart and needed to break up #the romance part of them felt very distinctly young and very much “he was a boy she was a girl” to me #and it hasn't deepened into anything more mature and i don't see how it could based on the current state of the writing... #the fact that lumax exists — a young relationship that is actively maturing and is healthy — makes that clear to me #and the “love confession” in s4 and how disingenuous and miserable it felt was just the nail in the coffin #also the fact that will (who is IN LOVE with mike) was instrumental in making it happen? ... uh... okay... interesting choice… #fucked up and reductive if they make it another queer unrequited love sacrifice for the sake of pushing the heterosexual agenda YUCK #so i really hope the speculation about a m*leven breakup is real!! i think it just makes sense for their characters but who knows #i don't believe in the notion of love at first sight or one true love and i think the writers don't too??? #love to me is an accumulation of experiences and we inevitably choose it at some point rather than fall into it... but idk #tv is so fixated on keeping couples together... sometimes it's just not reality guys especially with young people... LET IT GO... #like i said though i'm not 100% sold that they're going to give up their “golden couple” LMAO #stranger things hasn't historically subverted too many tropes if i'm being honest #anyway i seriously need this season to come out quickly... i'm so bored and getting my master's is crushing my soul #i need frivolity #ALSO btw i won't respond to hateful messages about this so please don't bother. it's not that serious. this is a netflix show

honestly being in some tall CRP grasses and brambles and brush would fix me <- a man who hasn't walked in the countryside in over a year

#i'd take the locust trees and briars and cockleburs i don't CARE scratch me up i just want to be OUTSIDEEEEEEE #there's barely any bugs this time of year too so i wouldn't have to worry too much abt ticks and mites and skeetos #i really am my mother's son. i don't need the outdoors as much as she does but i genuinely think i need to get out in the wilderness at #LEAST once a year or i start becoming (more) fucked in the head #cityslickers do NOT get the appeal of getting dirt under ur nails & whacked in the face w/ branches in a cedar stand but it is transcendant! #theres birds. theres deer. coyotes. turkeys. bobcats even. and the cougars are returning!! i wanna be OUT THERE #ik my granddad's land out there isn't proper prairie bc it has trees due to human intervention but like. god. i still need to be Out There! #i need to look for cool rocks and arrowheads and mushrooms and hunt for shed antlers and read a book while my mom hunts #maybe i should go to the local nature preserve sometime this week. it's small but beautiful and i NEED this i can't wait for october #len speaks

[vieraslaji]

hissing like an angry mongoose bc some of my mutual-adjacents are saying the english language is just a "tool" and a lingua franca can never be beautiful

tell that to Ovid my dudes

#i will fight tooth and nail to defend my native tongue #you don’t have to like it and you don’t have to like how ubiquitous it is #but don't fucking tell me the language i use to tell my mother i love her is incapable of expressing deep meaning #or i will reach through my phone screen and swap out all of the bread products in your kitchen for moldy ones #look i'm sorry y'all dont like the new joker out song but like. come on. #anyway whatever im over it clearly #angloposting #amerikkapaskaa #but like. if you speak a language (perhaps a language like finnish) that other countries shit on #why would you turn around and shit on another language just because that language is english #you should know how it feels to hear people say those things #idk i just feel sorry for people who can't see the beauty inherent in every language #but also just like. shut up.

~happy pride~ and fuck jkr - may her and her views rot in hell!

@vazaha-tya I am obsessed with your fic - so I spend a day and some more drawing my favorite scene from the last chapter. It's hope blooms in the darkest hours on ao3 if anyone wants to check it out

Were you aware that everyone was in pajamas in the middle of the night? Or that hissing makes a person look like they are smiling? I didn't but I found those two facts delightful!

#harry potter #hp fanfic #fuck jkr #hp fanart #my art #harry's pjs have blue pinstripes but they are almost invisible to the naked eye #regulus is wearing silk and has bellatrix's hair texture and I'm frotting at the mouth at the thought #he is the only one other than cissa that is wearing slippers #harry has freckles and glowy eyes both of which are invisible on anything other than my laptop monitor #the rosiers are there helping evan up #there is a shacklebolt in the foreground #the portaits took a second and they don't stand out!!! #i can't draw 11yos and it shows #eugene looks adorablw and pissed and I can't b r e a t h e #lucius and narcissa are not next to each other but they are both in the foreground #did I nail the northen lights? #can you feel my love for your work through my rambles? #FUN FACT pronouncing the letter s makes you look like you are smiling #the floor is shiny and i cheated with the water #the stairs killed me

my mom hates the house, hates the neighborhood (can't walk to anything/have to get in the car for everything), can't find stuff she packed, doesn't have good places to put her stuff, her big desk doesn't fit in the "office alcove", the cat is days away from being put down and so he's clingy and sad...

MA'AM. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WAS DESPERATE TO MOVE. BUYING THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS SINCE JULY OF THIS YEAR. "MOVING" AS A CONCEPT HAS BEEN THE SUBTITLE OF MY LIFE FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS. YOU DO NOT GET TO BE A PISSY TODDLER NOW. THIS IS LITERALLY ALL YOUR DOING.

#the secret world of merry mac #and she keeps yelling at Arthur to leave her alone but he's fucking dying. he barely eats and he's cold and has balance issues #the poor cat is existing in his final week on this planet and she's just mad at him and taking it out on him #i have basically no furniture (none of it matched and so i didn't mind giving it away/selling it) #so that means my things are all shoved into precariously stacked boxes and i'm sleeping on an army cot #i'm depressed too!! i left a decent paying job doing something i really liked! i would have been fine moving to a different house in town!! #she wanted (1) trader joe's (2) kaiser permanente and (3) her own swimming pool #she got (1) trader joe's 2 freeways/30m drive away (2) no kaiser and (3) no pool #this is how we always move; my mom gets the itch and then we leave. it's not that she wants to move TO somwhere-- it's just AWAY from here #(wherever 'here' is) #so i spent my entire last paycheck on furniture that won't even be here for a week or more #i also hate the (brand new) fridge that came with the house. it's a side-by-side and it's simultaneously stupidly spacious #but also the space is used in such a stupid way that you can't even lay a frozen pizza flat on a freezer shelf #she also collects screws/nuts/bolts/nails/washers like a fucking magpie and so no two are the same #and she doesn't use the correct things for the job and she just put two ROOFING NAILS into the wall to hold a magnet board up #she sucks at home repair (made worse by the aforementioned WRONG TOOLS FOR THE JOB) and so everything is done #with extreme frustration and it turns out half-assed and looks bad #she doesn't wait and/or think about where she wants stuff to go so she's just spent the afternoon hanging things up badly #and the house is going to look like it was decorated by some clown who needs to hang every piece of art they own all at once #we have picture rails so we can swap artwork/photos according to mood/season/etc but no... she just puts EVERYTHING out all at once #anyway i'm so sad and tired and frustrated and angry and it feels really unfair to keep my mouth shut when she says 'i wish we never moved!

really going to embody celeste today by just obsessively mulling over every little moment with patience from last night's session

#i just. can't get over. how perfect he was #how the fuck did the dm do that #she reached into my brain and plucked him out #my ideal asmodeus #the exact perfect ratios of arrogant and intelligent and mean but nice to celeste and funny and impatiently patient #brought the exact energy i wanted of fond of celeste but not returning the energy he was bringing #probably making his friends assume he's in an emotionally abusive relationship lmao #but also a few little tiny moments and things to show that he does actually maybe care #like i'm just #houoguhghgohoghghhhrhhhghh oughhghhhh aughhh #i shouldn't have to go to work today because i should just be allowed to stay home and roll around on the floor #thinking about my blorbos from my brain #the relationship energy i wanted from them is like. a cat and a golden retriever and it was nailed perfectly #celeste just like hanging off his arm and trying to snuggle with him in the coach #while patience isn't pushing him away but also isn't really reciprocating and is just talking about guild fees and shit #also just. love celeste managing to get their new tavern renovated and opened and set up completely for free #just bc asmodeus is like desperate to give him gifts and celeste keeps not wanting them #it fully probably could seem like celeste was using that to manipulate him into paying for it all but celeste is too fucking dumb for that #he didn't realize what he was doing #and also asmodeus is too smart to be manipulated #ghahhh i know no one cares about them as much as i do but i AM going to keep talking about them so much #i was so happy to get patience in the game #personal #fel's ttrpgs #dnd #waterdeep campaign #oc: celeste #celeste/asmodeus

I hate how tonight I'm forced to think about the weird dynamic it is when for most of your life the only person who ever cared about you is also the person who traumatized you the most

#tw for i don't even know just thread carefully #like who threatens to kick out a child and to call social services on said child. make them wait outside during the night+ #telling them you're packing up their things #not once even. multiple times #for fucking misbehaving/back talking. it's not like i set the house on fire #and still that was the only person i could rely on #wtf #and when i talk about it with this person today they tell me they don't understand what they did so wrong for me to grow up like this #and i can't even say it because they'll deny it. big liar #the fact that they also thought it was ok to put their hands on me but I won't get into that #but there's a reason it is so unsettling for me to have my nails short and nothing to protect me #child abuse tw #i think? #idk was it? it's hard for me to name what that was #i swore I'd be different and i am. can't trust anyone. always taking a step back. always having a backup plan #random stuff
