#IM SORRY IM SORRY IM-

[boombrothersasks]

Angst prompt given to me by @livingthewritelife-things after the whole prank by Eclipse and I THINK I AAAAJBSADJKBAJK

Eclipse had run back into the cave, able to get there quicker than his currently enraged brother due to his natural speed.

It was getting dark out now, so when he got in, he had accidentally tripped and landed on the floor, but laughed it off. All of this was too much fun to get frustrated over.

His laughter continued, but softened once Shadow entered, still looking as angry as before.

“Hey, at least you don’t look so stupid anymore!” Eclipse grinned. “Or, less stupid. You’re dry now from all the running, but I’ll be honest, the whole ‘fur over the eyes’ look wasn’t too bad! Man, you should’ve seen it, Viper, it was hilarious!” He turned to his small plush bear in the corner. 

“That’s enough, Eclipse!” Shadow shouted. “I’m done with you! You and all your wild antics that continuously make my life harder! And it wasn’t just what happened back there, no, it’s all the running off, it’s all the situations YOU get into and drag ME along with! You think I ASKED for this?!”

Eclipse turned back and stood to face his brother, now looking rather solemn with Viper in his hands. “Woah, hey, I…I didn’t mean for any of those things to get you into trouble. I was just, y’know…having a little fun.”

“See, there’s your problem! You do that with everything! You think it’s all just ‘having fun,’ not even thinking of the consequences, or how it could affect people BESIDES you. Do you know just how chaotic my life has been ever since YOU got here?!”

“Well excuse me, killjoy!” Eclipse rolled his eyes. “I’m just here trying to pass the time until father comes back. THEN you can be away from me for as long as you want, okay?! THEN MAYBE YOU CAN BE HAPPY WITH ME FINALLY GONE, ALRIGHT?!”

“DAMN IT, ECLIPSE! YOU KNOW WHAT, I GET IT. I FINALLY GET IT. NOW I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHY BLACK DOOM DECIDED TO DITCH YOU HERE ON EARTH. AND I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHY HE’S NEVER COMING BACK FOR YOU!!”

…It took a minute to realize that was probably the worst thing he had ever said. 

Something he had been thinking about for so long…trying to figure out the right way to break it to him so it wouldn’t be as painful…and what had he done? He just yelled it at him. In the most aggressive, hateful way possible. Fantastic. He hated everything right now.

He hated himself. 

Eclipse was still staring at him. Why did he have to do that? Was he staring at Shadow, or nothing at all? Either way, the silence gave Shadow more and more time to reflect on what he had said, and he hated that. 

His younger brothers’ tears were small, but Shadow could see them there.

But he hadn’t expected for the Darkling to smile about it. Looking down while he chuckled softly to himself…it didn’t look right at all.

“You are so…wrong…!” His slight laughter continued, and it started to worry Shadow a bit. “It’s funny…! How little sense that makes…! Ha! Good comeback, Shadow!”

Shadow sighed. He messed up. Bad. There wasn’t any way to fix this now, but maybe he could try and tone down the situation…stupid anger issues. They always got the best of him somehow, in a way he never really knew the reason for.

“Eclipse…this isn’t a joke. Your father, he…he contacted me a few times. Mentally. Whenever I tried to ask when he’d be back for you, all he would do was leave. I know it might be hard to hear, but…”

He could barely muster up the courage to say it…

But Eclipse deserved the truth. The full truth. 

“He doesn’t…care about you. He doesn’t…want you…anymore. All he ever did was laugh at the situation he put us in. The one he put you in. It’s high time you accept that…he’s a terrible person. He was when this all started, and he still is now.”

Eclipse wasn’t laughing anymore. Perhaps he was able to come to his senses about all this…

But that didn’t mean it wasn’t painful…

Denial hurt less.

“You’re wrong,” Eclipse insisted again, his grip on Viper getting tighter by the second. It felt like that was the only real comfort he had at the moment. “Y-You’re wrong…and I’m…I’m gonna prove it…! Just you wait! YOU’RE WRONG!!”

“ECLIPSE-!”

But he was already gone.

———————————————————————

“This is the place, Viper!” Eclipse wiped away a few tears once he had teleported to the place in the canyons he had wanted to go to. He was strong. He wasn’t crying. He shouldn’t cry. Ever. “This is where father left me with Shadow…months ago. B-But that doesn’t mean he isn’t coming back for me! Shadow’s just crazy. Father probably just forgot or something! I’ll just have to remind him…!”

“HELLO?! FATHER?!” Eclipse shouted up towards the sky. “I-ITS ME…! YOUR SON! ECLIPSE! ITS UM…ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I’VE SEEN YOU…! YOU KINDA SORTA PROMISED YOU’D BE BACK FOR ME SOON…! REMEMBER THAT…?”

Nothing in response.

But Eclipse wouldn’t give up just yet.

He was not being abandoned.

“I-IF YOU’RE AVOIDING EARTH RIGHT NOW BECAUSE ITS DARK OUT, THATS OKAY…! THERES PLENTY OF PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE OUT LATE AT NIGHT…! AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT ISN’T REALLY EVEN NIGHT THAT MUCH YET! SO…so…”

Still nothing.

That was fine.

He was not being abandoned…

“A-Are you…a little shy…?”

…

“Maybe…you can’t hear me too well…?”

…

“Maybe…maybe…”

He stopped wiping tears away.

He just sat there, with Viper as his only friend, staring up at the stars in the sky. With so many up there…he felt more lonely than ever.

“Maybe you just don’t love me anymore.”

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

#anyway it’s still a couple years away #but man im so fucking excited for my 30s!!!!!!!!! #i made it!!! #i survived!!! #so many people never got the opportunity to be 30 #im gonna enjoy every fucking second of it! #sulley speaks #sorry my coworker said something really rude to me lol #it struck a nerve

the work printer cries out, "no stop, that's too much! youre gonna make me jam!" as i load a full ream into her tray, but it's too late. "see, you can take it. you're doing such a good job for me." i coo into her feeding tray as i begin printing the morning reports. her warning lights turn red as she moans in i assume ecstacy

#im sorry

I think at some point in time we need to sit down and start explaining to artist who want to make a career out of art that there are FAR more options than just "living off of commissions" and "posting my art online and praying I get paid for it".

#simon says #im sorry but rant incoming

[ot3]

i dont like the idea that kids these days are doing their fandom rps with ai chatbots. that's how you're supposed to make lifelong friends as a weird really online teen.

#i was never really an rper of any kind it just did not do it for me #im like im sorry actually i cant do this collaboratively i need to be controlling all of the little dolls myself. #however homestuck rp deck epicmafia. now that was another story

[wowwforever]

They’ll never do a Hitman level set in a Furry Convention because gamers would absolutely ruin it but imagine. like the target isn’t a furry he just owns a hotel that happens to have one every year but you can disguise yourself in a fursuit and some guy will ask you “what species is your sona” and 47 would be like “a wolf. i always felt a connection with…hunters.” and then diana would be like “let’s see if you can sniff out some information, furrty-seven” and then he comes to my house and kills me for writing this

#Hitman #furry #text post #agent 47 #im sorry

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

#this is just me ranting sorry #im very tired and hungry #and i want to sleep but brain go brrrrr #well i used to be nice and smart and now im neither of those or however the song goes #pretty sure he was exaggerating cause looking back. it was good. but some of the wording was a lil wonky #adhd #actually adhd #executive dysfunction #actually neurodiverse #adhd paralysis #adult adhd #attention deficit hyperactivity disorder #adhd hacks #academia #neurodivergent #adhd skill regression #confessions of a burnt out gifted kid #<< i guess #former gifted kid #burnt out gifted kid #gifted kid burnout #realizing i sound rly pretentious here sorry -- formal speech patterns i picked up as an autistic child and never put down again haha

so bc i am a Gross Dude my friends i and sometimes rate our burps and my coworker (who is a teen girl) burped in front of me once and i instinctively rated it

so now every time she burps she looks to me hopefully for a rating and bc she has delicate little baby burps i now have to create an entirely new Burp Rating System unique to her bc i rate anything below a 5 and she looks at me like this

#pidge speaks #im so sorry babe but i am a Monster #i am a demon #my burps register on the richter scale #i can burp on command #i used to be that kid who burped my abcs to impress people

[the-gayest-sky-kid]
