— the love was there. (it didn't change everything, but it changed me)

what if we were two deep-sea shrimp and we were young and in love and we entered a venus' flower basket sponge and formed a symbiotic relationship with the sponge in which it gave us protection in exchange for us cleaning it. and by the time we grew older we became too big to leave the sponge so we had to live there for the rest of our lives. but it was okay because we had each other and we had love and that was all that mattered. what would you do
I love you (I know your favourite song, and colour, and food, and book). I love you (I know your mannerisms and your phrases and gestures). I love you (I know how to cheer you up and lighten your mood and when to simply hold you). I love you (I know the way you love and the way you want to be loved, and how the two overlap like a flutter of wings in the sky).
Hey! Thank you honestly for being like the only blog on my dash that wasn’t full of baseless hate towards the boys! It was really nice to know that there were others who went into this with a bit more critical thinking! Bc the last few days it really felt as if there were only people on here who were just hating for hate’s sake and that was truly tiring! (I truly wish people would just follow the “don’t like it, don’t interact with it” logic more!)
No thank you is necessary at all! That has always been my favourite method of coping when things get sticky. I will also say that every single one of my mutuals was so incredibly normal and uplifting during this. I am working on making an update on my follow forever list which I haven't done since 2019, I think. Just as a way that people can know that we're going forward into celebrating the new content and Watcher getting to make what they want to make without worrying that the next time things get dicey, your mutual is going to turn into a squalling bullying child.
Something about being plural makes any moment where my existence is validated, really intense? If that makes any sense.
For example, being acknowledged individually between switches. Or, for our headmate Mitten, she exists more in headspace or around the body rather than being a fronter. She needs extra acknowledgement to feel real and seen and cared for. Or even little things like seeing all my followers reblog my lil system posts with their tags. Seeing mutuals or familiar urls/PFPs.
Very nice to engage and interact casually/warmly with others who understand/relate to me. I love you (yes, you, even if i don't know you.)
