#and that you don't have to annihilate yourself to receive it

[somespicyshrimp]

redemption arcs where the redemption comes not just from the wrongdoer’s self-sacrifice, from the easy escape of annihilation, the refuge and shelter of martyrdom, but from the hard, painful, vulnerable, ultimately irreplaceable labor of living, of changing, of mending your damage and the damage you have caused others, of forgiving yourself and allowing for the possibility that others will forgive you too. redemption arcs where there is a future beyond the hurt. redemption arcs where the redemption is not the end, but the beginning.

#yes that moment can be part of the arc #and sometimes it's a critical one #but it is so so so incredibly important to me #that there is forgiveness and kindness and love #even for those who have done wrong #and that you don't have to annihilate yourself to receive it #you have to live #original shrimpy #catra #zuko

so im sure everyones fully well aware of the magic 8 ball site fob is using to promote a contest to win some tickets to see them in nashville. the little 8ball widget theyve got in browser is also modeled on the physical 8ball that they had in the vip merch packages for tourdust's first leg, which is cool! but of particular note is the way that, to fill out the contest form, you have to pick your favorite fall out boy songs. and the sheer breadth of what is allowed is...interesting? it's not cohesive by any means, but it is really wild the selection of songs they have here because not all of them are fob songs. in fact, quite a few of them aren't.

i went directly to the source code and got a full list of all possible songs that you could input (which you can check for yourself by right-clicking and selecting "view source"). i'm going to list them here for archival purposes, with a few notes/explanations cause some of these are WILD.

there are 187 songs total listed.

bolded songs indicate songs that are demos or never received an official release

italicized songs are songs by other bands

underlined songs indicate songs that are covers

songs with an asterisk beside them (*) indicate they are from patrick's solo catalogue. two asterisks (**) are for pete's.

additional commentary by me will be [in brackets]

UPPERMOONS' ROLE IN THE BEDROOM

NSFW Headcannons - Minors DNI

For Muzan, Kokushibo, Douma, Akaza, Hantengu Clones

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I think it's so funny putting writing like this underneath some stupid meme or some shit. Like I can't even. Why is it so funny to me.

Also sorry but something about Gyokko is fishy to me so I'm replacing his little hand-having Muichiro-torturing ass with Kaigaku in the next bit.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Muzan

This man is the demon king. I hope you're not expecting him to be nice with you, cuz you're wrong.

He's a dom.

And a bit of a sadist.

But how can you hate him for it? Especially when he looks like that.

I know this man LOVESS to have you under him for hours at a time. Like bro will not leave you alone until you physically cannot go anymore. At least he has the decency to listen to you when you safeword out.

He's evil, but not like... evil. Yk?

He especially loves to punish you when you do wrong. And getting a rise out of him is fairly easy, so one wrong step and you'll be over his lap until you can't even remember what you did to set him off.

Kokushibo

Kokushibo is a dom, but I can see him getting off to you trying your best to take control. He adores that you try so hard to prove your worth, but I think both of you know it's not gonna happen.

He loves to listen. Sometimes he becomes eerily quiet, lost in the sounds you're making while he's absolutely annihilating your poor cunt.

He's a huge fan of receiving also. Not that he won't eat you out whenever you ask, but I feel it would be..... uncomfortable for his lower pair of eyes?

LMFAO

Are they closed? Are they open? Can he even close them separately?

I'm sorry for bullying you Koku.

He can't get enough of seeing your head between his thighs, trying your best to take him all with that tiny human mouth of yours.

He's mean with punishments though. He's not easy to irritate like Muzan, but if you tease him too much you'll find yourself edged for hours, with only a 50/50 chance of getting to cum (depending on if you beg right). Moreover, he mainly thinks it's sad how his lovely little human has done something to upset him when your track record was so good.

Douma

Absolute sadist. Look at this devious fuck. He'll do anything to make you beg, anything to hear your beautiful voice beg him for more.

Oh he started soooo vanilla. Sweet nothings like "Are you okay, flower?" "I'm not hurting you, am I love?"

But one day he dug his claws in a little too hard, and your whine at that burning sensation..

🔒🔑 sadist UNLOCKED

From that moment on he made it a point to leave as many marks on you as possible. Bites, hickeys, scratches, anything that proved to everyone else that you are HIS. And ONLY HIS.

He'll even present you to his followers that way, proudly demonstrating that you've been "chosen by him to aid his spiritual work."

He reeeeeaaaaally needs to do a better job at knowing when to stop. Demons have unlimited stamina, and you feel so good around him, he'll only stop when he's noticed your moans have ceased, and you're passed out under him. WHY DID YOU EVEN CREATE A SAFEWORD.

It just feels so good, you know? You have to REALLY get his attention when you want him to stop, or so help me god he will get lost in it.

It's because of this that he is one of the best at aftercare. He'll clean you up, cuddle with you, do anything he can to appeal to his pitiful, fucked-out human.

Akaza

Look at him. You know him.

The most vanilla MF ever.

He's so gentle and sweet with you, taking his time on every little thing.

He prefers to have control over the pacing, and that's why he fits into the dom role. He doesn't like to go too fast, or graze over the most intimate parts of the act.

This man will die to give. Don't get me wrong, he'll take some good head any day of the week, but it can't compare to seeing your expression from between your legs when his tounge laps at your overstimulated clit.

He'd never tell you, he's your brave Akaza, but he's SO scared of hurting you in ANY way. He's always checking up on you, making sure his grip isn't too tight, he's not going too fast, you're properly prepared... ect.

He's the aftercare KING 👑

No one can match up to this man. He has cooked you FIVE STAR MEALS at the mere words "kinda want a snack"

He'll hold you in his arms and will NOT LET GO. FOR ANY REASON.

He's just so happy to be connected with his sweet little human. Can you blame him for that?

Sekido

Roughest dom to exist. He wants nothing more than to absolutely destroy you, what better way to release his anger? Not that he'll ever truly be not angry, anyway. But you help.

I feel like he's one for routine. He doesn't want to change things up, because why would he change something that's already so good.

Does not know how to be gentle with you. He BITES YOU. When he wants to KISS YOU.

Beware of the fucking dog. Man needs his own damn sign.

It all starts when you wear a skirt that's a LITTLE too short. You don't even notice. But he does. He notices.

One minute, you're making dinner, and the next moment, you're bent over the kitchen counter, taking it while he marks up your neck and shoulders.

From then on, he's unafraid to take you anywhere. In the forest. In a STRANGER'S(victim's) HOUSE. HE DOESN'T CARE.

As free-use as he is, he refuses to allow any one else to see you coming undone for him. He'll only take you if he knows there's a 0% chance of being walked in on. Not only will it turn him off, it'll make him so incredibly angry he'll rip off somebody's head.

#hopeitsnotyou

#wontevengettofinish

#dontwalkinhereurogi

Aizetsu

Boy is a switch. 100%

He just wants to be in you, he doesn't care who's doing the dominating.

He's loud.

Like, bb tries so hard not to make any noise, but how can he not, when you're bouncing on his cock like that?

Whines and whimpers all the way. I literally have not seen anyone deny this. It's a fact.

He can't handle when you talk dirty to him. It's like a spell. ESPECIALLY words of encouragement. He just wants to feel validated by you, poor guy. He's literally depression if depression was hot and if you wanted depression to fuck you over in another way than figuratively.

He loves to give you head as much as he loves receiving it. He wants to see you melt to his touch, he wants to know that he's the only one who can make you feel this way.

Aizetsu lives in fear of you yearning for one of the other clones instead. That's why his mission is to be as nice to you as possible. Not... *slow* nice, just *gentle* nice. He'll cuddle with you, he'll kiss you, he'll keep his cock in you for as long as he wants. Only when you're absolutely spent he'll be done with you.

Karaku

Man is the pleasure clone.

He knows EXACTLY how to get you off. It only takes one time for him to learn the ins and outs of your body.

He just wants you to feel as good as you can. He'll keep your legs pinned for hours, not caring when you tug his hair or beg him to stop. If you're not safewording, you can take more. That's his motto.

He'll cum where he wants, he'll fuck where he wants, in any position he wants, he's selflessly selfish, if you get the juxtaposition.

He loves to switch it up every now and then. If he has an idea you'll partake in, you're doing it. As long as it's with you, he's open to whatever.

Karaku is the king of teasing you. He's not going to let you cum until you're BEGGING. Like capital B Begging.

His favorite thing is to see you riding him. It makes him feel so good inside when he sees your legs shake. His poor little human can't even handle riding him. How sad is that? But he's not opposed to helping you.

Urogi

Bro goes absolutely wild. Like.. he cannot get enough of you after the first time.

So incredibly loud. Grunts, moans, yells, man has no shame and no fucks to give because his only fuck has already been spent on you.

He's sensitive on his back because no one ever puts their warm little human hands back there. No one can reach because of his massive fucking wings. So when you massage him, preen his wings, anything that involves your gentle touch on his back, AUTOMATIC HORNY.

He doesn't even know how to articulate when he's horny. The only thing he can think about is fucking. Literally you'll just be cuddling and he'll start undressing you, no warning.

#whatthefuck

He's really bad at pacing. Like.. he has no routine, no rhythm, no idea when he's gonna cum or how he's gonna get to that point. You've really gotta help him out on that.

I feel like Urogi would have a hard time prepping you because of his massive, razor sharp fucking talons. Like he went to do it after you told him "dude I can't just take your whole dick out of the blue" and realized for the first time that having talons may be inconvenient when trying to be intimate.

No worries though, he gets equally horny watching you stuff yourself with your own fingers, wanting to put his hands all over you, but knowing the real fun will come soon.

The Origin of Fear (Highlights)

- Eckhart Tolle, Practicing the power of now

The psychological condition of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger.

You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.

Moreover, as long as you are identified with your mind, the ego runs your life. Because of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident. Now remember that an emotion is the body's reaction to your mind. What message is the body receiving continuously from the ego, the false, mind-made self? Danger, I am under threat. And what is the emotion generated by this continuous message? Fear, of course.

but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation.

If you identify with a mental position, then if you are wrong, your mindbased sense of self is seriously threatened with annihilation. So you as the ego cannot afford to be wrong. To be wrong is to die.

Once you have disidentified from your mind, whether you are right or wrong makes no difference to your sense of self at all, so the forcefully compulsive and deeply unconscious need to be right, which is a form of violence, will no longer be there.

WATCH OUT FOR ANY KIND OF DEFENSIVENESS within yourself. What are you defending? An illusory identity, an image in your mind, a fictitious entity. By making this pattern conscious, by witnessing it, you disidentify from it. In the light of your consciousness, the unconscious pattern will then quickly dissolve. This is the end of all arguments and power games, which are so corrosive to relationships. Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. True power is within, and it is available to you now.

The mind always seeks to deny the Now and to escape from it. In other words, the more you are identified with your mind, the more you suffer. Or you may put it like this: The more you are able to honor and accept the Now, the more you are free of pain, of suffering - and free of the egoic mind. If you no longer want to create pain for yourself and others, if you no longer want to add to the residue of past pain that still lives on in you, then don't create any more time, or at least no more than is necessary to deal with the practical aspects of your life.

How to stop creating time?

REALIZE DEEPLY THAT THE PRESENT MOMENT is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life. Whereas before you dwelt in time and paid brief visits to the Now, have your dwelling place in the Now and pay brief visits to past and future when required to deal with the practical aspects of your life situation. Always say "yes" to the present moment.

END THE DELUSION OF TIME Here is the key: End the delusion of time. Time and mind are inseparable. Remove time from the mind and it stops - unless you choose to use it.

To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation. This creates an endless preoccupation with past and future and an unwillingness to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be. The compulsion arises because the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions.

Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.

Is it possible for anything to happen or be outside the Now? The answer is obvious, is it not? Nothing ever happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now. The essence of what I am saying here cannot be understood by the mind. The moment you grasp it, there is a shift in consciousness from mind to Being, from time to presence. Suddenly, everything feels alive, radiates energy, emanates Being.

2.2K Words🤙🏻

~~~~~~~~~~

You never expected to find love in your life, not to any human, especially not to a demon. But becoming a Sister of Sin took you on a path that still manages to shock you, including how you felt towards a specific water Ghoul. 

Everyone told you that having a Ghoul as a partner could have its…difficulties. 

In the past, relationships between a Ghoul and a human would not last long, and the end usually was not pretty. You heard stories of blood, violence, and death. Some Ghouls had the tendency of getting territorial of their mates, often picking fights with other Ghouls if they even had a suspicion that one of them was interested. In rare instances, some Ghouls would even kill their mates, though not on purpose. So you would’ve had every right to be more than a little hesitant in being with a Ghoul. 

But you knew Rain wasn’t like that.

Typically, the water types were less aggressive and more reserved than the others, often keeping to themselves, staying out of trouble, and never really picking fights unless they felt threatened. But they were still demons, they still had an aura of danger surrounding them,  they could still annihilate a human if they ever felt like it. But Rain never gave you that vibe that he was even capable of such acts. He made you feel safe, comfortable. He was protective, but not in an overbearing type of way. If you were around any other Ghouls, he’d always be by your side watching over you. He was sweet, and you couldn’t see a world where he’d ever hurt you on purpose.

The two of you had been together for a few months now, but you still did nothing more than kiss. It was frustrating, and it had to have been difficult for Rain too. For some people, that contact is a need and a lack of that made you more irritable. You knew how skittish Rain could be, and you absolutely did not want to pressure him into doing anything he wasn’t ready for. But you were so desperate for his touch and you didn’t know how long you’d be able to last.

You wanted to be with Rain intimately, but you just didn’t know how to bring it up without spooking him off. You were aching and needed him now, but him being off in a touring band caused some unwanted distance between the two of you, so you were just going to have to handle it yourself like you always had to.

You exhaled a shaky breath as you removed your habit, laying on your bed with your legs slightly spread. You imagined Rain looking down on you, eyes dark and narrow behind his stage mask, a bulge prominently poking through his tight black jeans. You imagined his soft voice telling you what to do, forcing you to obey his every command. You slowly trailed your fingers down your body, running along your lace lingerie, tentatively journeying down until your fingers felt the heat that was radiating from your already sopping wet cunt, begging to be touched. 

You were a second away from reaching your aching nub until the door to your bedroom opened suddenly, a grinning Rain entering the door frame. But he quickly froze as he realized what was happening, his grin falling off his face and his eyes widening in shock as your half naked form. “Oh, fuck-! Uh, I’m sorry!” He covered his eyes and quickly closed your door, leaving you flushed and disheveled.

You put on a robe and walked out, finding Rain with his head in his hands in your living room. “Rain?” You called out softly, taking cautious steps towards him.

“I am so sorry, babe. We, the band, we got a few days off and I wanted to surprise you but…oh god.” Rain’s ears were flattened back, his tail actually tucked between his legs, coiling around his leg tightly. He sighed. “I didn’t mean to…walk in on you like that, I promise.”

You gently took a seat next to him, reaching up to lightly rub his back. “Hey, it’s okay. I mean, you did really surprise me.” You joked, smiling when he managed a nervous chuckle, his body untensing a little. “Coulda joined me, you know?” You said, in a split second decision, wondering if testing the waters was a good idea in the moment. You felt him tense up again beneath your hand, almost regretting your words until you noticed a slight bulge in his pants, not unlike the one you saw in your fantasy. “I mean, don’t you want to, with me?” You asked, feeling a little insecure.

Rain furrowed his brows and sat up more straight, taking a hold of your hand. “Of course I do, it’s just…you’re human. You can…break.” You don’t know why his choice of words made you clench, a sharp pang of desire shooting straight through your core. “I don’t wanna hurt you. Dewdrop almost killed his mate during…you know. I don’t want that to happen to you. I couldn’t live with myself.”

“You’re not Dewdrop, Rain. You’re not like that.”

“He wasn’t like that either until it happened.” He frowned.

You could’ve whined. You were so needy. You understood his apprehension. It made you nervous too, but you loved your demon and you wanted him badly. “I want you, Rain. You want me too, I know you do. But…I understand if you can’t. But there is nothing you could do to me that would make me love you any less. You could never hurt me.”

Rain inhaled sharply, his hands tightening into fists as he smelled your arousal. It could’ve driven him mad. He saw how your thighs pressed together, how your teeth nawed away at the dead skin of your lips, how anxious your expression was. You looked to be in pain, and that pained him. “If we do this…you have to promise me, if I get too rough or do anything that you don’t like, you stop me. Whatever you have to do.” He spoke seriously, his pupils dilated until you could barely see his iris’.

“Yes, Rain. Just please, touch me.” You begged, opening one of his fists and bringing the palm to cup your sex, gasping as the much needed contact. You heard him audibly inhale, a soft purr rumbling in his chest. “Feel how much I want you? Feel how wet you make me?” You whispered.

Rain growled as he surged forward, capturing your lips in a heated kiss, teeth grazing against each other’s and pushing your tongues to meet. You moaned in his mouth as he started playing with your clit through your underwear, the fabric practically ruined with how soaked it was. “I didn’t realize how good you smell like this, baby.” Rain purred, trying his best to maintain his composure while he pushed the robe off your shoulders. “Bedroom. Now.” He ordered, leading you to the bed hastily.

You sat on the bed with a glazed over look in your eyes, your ears perked up at the sound of Rain’s belt buckle coming unlatched, the leather sliding and making a slapping sound as he removed it and tossed it to the floor. You could feel your mouth watering as he started to unbutton his pants. “You look so gorgeous like that, sweetheart. You wanna suck my cock, hm? Your mouth is already halfway open.” You could only nod as you finally started to see the side of Rain that you’ve been dreaming of. 

Rain beckoned you to sit on the edge of the bed, removing the rest of his clothes and taking his hard cock out of the confines of his pants and watching your expression as you finally saw all of him. “Is this what you were thinking about before I came home?” He asked darkly, gently caressing the back of your head. “You touch yourself to thoughts of me?” You nodded weakly, your mouth filling with saliva as your lips finally came into contact with the head of his cock.

Rain groaned loudly as you took him in your mouth, slowly bobbing your head and moaning at the taste. “Oh, sweet Lucifer…” He cursed, reaching down to unclasp your bra and to lift your chin, biting his lip at the sight. Tears in your admiring eyes, drool running down your chin and onto your tits, all for him. The view could’ve made him come right then and there. But he wanted you to feel good too.

You gasped as he tore you away from his dick, having you stand up as he sank to his knees, his own expression needy and glazed over as he ran his claws up your thighs, forcing goosebumps to form along the path. You quickly stepped out of your underwear as he pulled them down, him grabbing the back of one of your thighs to bring your leg to rest on his shoulder. Rain licked his lips as he finally saw the full glory that was your pussy, your arousal coating it and your inner thighs. He had never seen such a pretty sight. 

You let out a cry as Rain dove in, lapping up all your wetness and going to work right away. His long tongue poked and prodded at your tight entrance, undulating against your folds in such a way that you almost saw stars. “So sweet.” He growled, moving to focus on your clit, using his forked tip to rub on either side of the little nub. You tried not to scream, your legs threatening to give out just from the pure pleasure Rain was giving you. It was hard to focus on anything other than how his tongue was making you feel. But then it all came to a stop unfortunately, a loud whine escaping you as Rain rose to his feet with a shiny nose and chin. “I could do that all day.” He chuckled, but instead of doing just that, he pushed you gently to lay on the bed with your legs spread.

“Please, Rain…” You begged, arching your back so your chest could touch his, reaching out to hold onto his shoulders. “I need you.” And without warning, Rain entered you, almost immediately filling you to the brim, the head of his cock grazing your sweet spot already. “Fuck!” You moaned, wrapping your legs around his torso as he started to thrust into you.

“You feel so good.” Rain panted, a thin sheen of sweat already building on his forehead. “Fuck, you feel so good.” He whimpered, the sound driving you wild.

Rain buried his head into the crook of your neck, holding onto your shoulders with a vice grip. You felt multiple sharp stings as his claws extended, digging into the soft flesh, but Rain didn’t seem to notice, too lost in the feeling of you. It surprised you to find that you enjoyed it, the pain only amplifying the pleasure you already felt. The pain brought you closer to the peak you so desperately wanted to reach, you didn’t even notice you were clawing him right back. 

“Fuck, Rain, I’m so close!” You cried, attempting to meet his thrusts from underneath him, but Rain suddenly had a vice grip on your hips, pushing them down and pistoning into you even harder. “Oh, god-!” You threw your head back, unable to do anything but just take it, the pleasure rendering you useless.

The final straw was the new pleasurable pain you felt in the hollow of your neck, sharp fangs breaking your skin and sinking in, marking you in a way that just felt so right. It hit you like a train, knocking the breath out of your lungs, and then you let out a loud strained moan as you came around his cock. “Yes, yes, yes.” Rain whispered as his thrusts became sloppy, licking up your neck and stilling, his cum spilling inside of you as he whimpered.

You whined as Rain pulled out of you, flopping down beside you in exhaustion, a blissed out expression on his face. But his face quickly furrowed in concern, finally taking notice of the droplets of blood that slowly leaked out of your claw and bite marks. “Oh fuck, baby, I hurt you. Shit, I know this would happen. I never should have-”

“Rain, Rain!” You quickly interrupted before he had a full blown panic attack. “You didn’t hurt me, my love.”

“You’re bleeding.”

“I…I liked it.” You felt your face heat up at the admission. “It felt really good.” You chuckled giddily, and Rain relaxed a little but you could still see him beating himself up about it mentally. “That was the best orgasm I’ve ever had.” His eyes lit up at that, allowing himself to smile proudly at himself.

“Really?” He asked timidly, causing you to nod with a tired grin.

“You made me feel amazing. Only you, Rain. I knew I could trust you. If I didn’t like something, I would’ve told you. I promised, remember?”

Rain pulled you into his chest, wrapping his arms around your shoulders and holding you close. “Thank you.” He whispered sleepily, happy purrs rumbling in his chest, making it very difficult to stay awake.

You gave Rain a soft kiss on his chin as he fell asleep, his comfortable hold on you and purrs lulling you to sleep right after him.

[death-threats]

Push and Pull.

Trafalgar Law x Eustass Kid x Fem!reader CW: 18+ MINORS DO NOT INTERACT. Threesome, soft!dom Law, mean!dom Kid, established relationship, dirty talk, canon typical banter ig, tiny bit of butt play (F! receiving), 1.2K words, not proofread

You had no idea how you ended up in the middle of this. One minute, Kid and Law were arguing about something that didn't even involve you, and the next? Here you were; face down in the lap of the doctor with the engineer plowing into you from behind. The three of you had been fooling around for some time now, but this? This was new.

"You're a brute, Eustass-ya. I don't know how Y/N even puts up with you bullying her pretty pussy all the time." Law said with a frown, running his long fingers through your hair trying to soothe you. Of course, your enraptured moans were in a competition for who can be the loudest against the slapping of skin as Kid pounded into you.

A breathless chuckle came from behind you, his flesh hand tracing the dip in your spine as thrust after thrust met your ass. Kid admired the fingerprint shaped bruises on your hips that were left from previous sessions and the newer, redder ones that were currently being imprinted on your skin. His lipstick was marked all over your skin too, like a treasure map. Starting at the nape of your neck, down your spine, over your hips, to the fat of your ass.

He took a second to admire his work as you clenched around him and he hummed, flicking sweat-stuck hair from his forehead. "Never had a complaint yet. Want me t' be more gentle, darlin'?"

You shook your head, in turn nuzzling yourself against the tent in Law's jeans. "N-no! More...please..." You gasped, digging your nails into the denim and feeling the strong cords of muscle flex under your fingertips. That answer was apparently sufficient enough for Kid seeing as he gave your ass a satisfied slap in return. You keened and began to match his thrusts, hand snaking down to rub circles over your swollen clit as you tried in vain to unbutton Law's pants. The glassy, pleading look in your eyes was enough for him to help you out.

As soon as his pretty cock was free of its' confines, your plush lips were wrapped around it with such an eagerness that moans and sighs were expelled by both men. Law watched with an enraptured gaze as your tongue swirled around his leaking tip, licking up his weeping essence with vigor. His jaw was clenched and he was gritting his teeth as the hand that was gently running your your hair just moments ago was now weaved in between your locks guiding your movements along his painfully hard dick.

"Look at 'er...fuckin' cockslut. What makes you -fuck- think that she wants it nice an' gentle?" Kid muttered out between rough thrusts, hissing at the way your sopping wet pussy was drenching the front of his thighs. "Should fuckin' see how wet she is right now. Like a pretty lil' waterfall."

You moaned around Law's cock as Kid gave one particularly hard thrust, the tip of his dick pressing against your cervix. The redhead leaned over, his chest pressed snugly along the planes of your back. His teeth sunk into your shoulder and he soothed the mark with a wet kiss. Law shot Kid a glare as his ministrations caused you to pause your sloppy blowjob for a moment and the redhead snickered in return. "Go on, babe. Finish 'im off before he cries."

If looks could kill, Law would have annihilated the other captain in a second. The surgeon wiped the drool from your bottom lip and you sucked on his finger, making him smile softly. "Take your time, Y/N-ya." You'd have smiled in return but you could just give a feeble nod as you held onto his cock with one hand and sucked at the tip before taking an impressive amount of him into your mouth. You gagged a little and felt the spit pool in your mouth and leak from your lips, running down his shaft and over his balls.

Law shuddered and closed his eyes, his head lolling back. His long fingers against your scalp encouraged you to take him in all the way and you obliged. Tears fell from your eyes as your did your best to pleasure him and heavy sighs and quiet whimpers fell from his lips. His gorgeous sounds spurred you on even more and you pulled back a little to run your tongue along his shaft. You could tell he was close by the way he was tensing up. Looking up at him through tear-heavy lashes, you bobbed your head until his hips stuttered and he flooded your mouth with his hot cum. "S-swallow." He commanded hoarsely.

He slowly removed his cock from your lips as you tried to prevent a single drop from leaving your mouth. You swallowed and stuck your tongue out for him to see. "Good girl." Law complimented, gently caressing your cheek with his thumb.

Seeing this happen before him, Kid gripped your hips even tighter than he already had been. He nudged your legs open a little wider and he massaged your ass again, spreading your cheeks open for him to get an even better view of him entering and exiting your body. He spit and the glob of warm saliva landed on your asshole. Kid gently eased his index finger inside and a low string of curses left his mouth.

"Cum on my cock, pretty. Know you're close. C-can feel ya squeezin' me so tight." He muttered, angling his hips so he kept hitting that spongy sweet spot within you. A high-pitched whine ripped through your throat and your hand was immediately brought to your clit, rubbing it in jerky circles as you tried so hard to focus on your impending orgasm.

That warm fire that had been stoked in your belly had burst into an untamable wildfire. You came so hard, you saw an explosion of color behind your eyes and you could swear that your ears started to ring. Kid gritted his teeth and swore loudly as you clamped around him, leaving a creamy ring around the base of his cock. His thrusts faltered, pressing into you as snugly as he could and filled you to the brim with his seed. After a moment, he began to pull out of you and replaced his dick with his finger to ensure that not a single ounce of his cum left your pussy.

You whimpered at the slight overstimulation, bucking your hips against the bed. "Eustass-ya..." Law said in a tone with warning behind it. Kid just rolled his eyes and frowned. He carefully removed his finger from you and wiped it off on your ass and muttered a quiet apology.

You were limp and completely spent as the two of them took the time to clean you up and ensure you were okay and unhurt. It took a bit of convincing, but both of them agreed to spend the night with you. The aching muscles and sore love bites would serve as a pleasant reminder of this encounter, and it certainly wouldn't be the last you would have with these diametrically opposed captains.

Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better? Side Story Chapter 16

i also upload this chapter in my YT, read there to support my effort, click here👉 Link

***

After that, the demon's resistance was quite intense, and there was an incident where the entire outer wall was damaged instead, but this side's power was so overwhelming that it was quickly subdued.

The demon was pierced by the spear of Orix, my exclusive escort knight, who had grown dramatically in the past, and was annihilated.

But I didn't feel the cool feeling inside.

It was because of the words the devil left before he died.

“Even if I disappear, the darkness does not disappear. No matter how many times you catch and kill black magicians, revenge only breeds revenge.”

Priest Maurice, who surrendered himself to an intermediate demon, turns out to be a priest who saved his life once thanks to Miya Binoshu in the past.

Denying the fact that his best friend, Miya, was the vessel for the Great Devil's Descent, he turned to black magic to prove that she was right and misunderstood.

'It's the blood of a high priest, so maybe an intermediate demon was summoned.'

Maybe it was because when Miya displayed the power of a demon disguised as healing power, that power was transferred to the priest.

‘The latter is more conjecture.'

“… The divine power returned before the thought body disappeared, didn't it?”

He watched from the side as I poured out my divine power to catch the thought-form that was about to disappear.

“yes.”

“What exactly was the cause of the divine power leak?”

“Rather than a leak, I think it’s more accurate to say that my subconscious was reluctant to use divine power and interfered with it.”

“.....”

“To be honest, I’m tired of being a saint.”

When the thought body was reminded of the existence of darkness, he realized the need for divine power and was soon able to use it.

However… It was not always easy to confront the evil and vicious demons.

“Deborah.”

“yes.”

“In the past, Princess-sama has lit a lot of candles.”

“.....”

“So, you don't have to burn yourself to light the darkness. Because there are so many people around Princess-sama like that.”

oh I see.

After putting off all my busy schedules for me and looking back at my people who followed me all the way to Hellia, suddenly something hot hit my heart.

No one was forcing me to be a hero, but I was carrying the burden on my own. That is why the divine power did not return.

When I decided not to think of a blue elephant, something similar to thinking about a blue elephant came up.

“I am stupid.”

“The real fool is over there.”

Isidor chuckled at Pope Rega and smiled like a party.

Isidor replaced all the healing stones I received from the Pope with healing stones that were empty of divine power. It will probably look like it's been used up for a purification ritual.

‘Advanced healing stone, eat well.'

A feeling of emptiness in the stomach, as if suddenly taking a digestive aid.

When he was feeling the feeling of fullness given by unearned income, his eyes met the Pope.

“Oh my gosh, saint!”

He approached me with a fuss, and the eyes of the priests and people around me were focused.

“How did you find and destroy a special evil that even holy water does not know to! My faith in St. Mary has grown stronger and deeper!”

"....."

he said fervently.

“At the upcoming monthly event, everyone will be informed about the saint’s activities, and the shrine will provide all support to the saint in addition to the finest healing stones!”

I quickly waved my hand and said what he wanted.

“You don't need to be rush. Since the Pope has given me the Healing Stone out of pure good will, I have only returned it with good intentions.”

“...yes.”

The pope responded with a little patience in his anger.

Still, it was good to try. It would have been right for Susie Goya to show her condolences in front of everyone who had already been robbed, and who had given her saint a healing stone.

“I am very grateful to the Pope.”

From expensive healing stones to relics made from dragon bones. There was no donation angel.

“… Thank you too. It is natural for the temple to spare no effort to support the saint. ”

“Really, I didn’t know you would support me so generously.”

I continued speaking with a smile as benevolent as possible.

“Thanks to the Pope personally visiting the capital and sharing the news about the relics, we are able to recover them before they are further damaged!”

“Huh?...”

At the word recall, he seemed to be at a loss for a moment, and I pressed once more.

“The holy relics will be purified with all my might in the future! Fortunately, the contamination didn't go away if I had it, the incarnation of the saint was in trouble, so no more worries!”

“It’s been a while since I’ve shown such a great divinity, until I dealt with the remnants of the temple and purify the holy things....”

“You are amazing! Saint!”

Isidor incited me by clearly listing my actions, and Oryx, the simplest, responded to the instigation and clapped with a huge hand.

clap clap!

In applause, I gazed intently at the priests next to the Pope.

“President Henri, High Priest Louis, and Priest Jacques. I will remember your generous help even when I return to the capital.”

The names of the high-ranking priests who participated in the mid-level demon investigation were known in advance through Isidor. There is no need to carry the entire temple and pretend.

“Sister remembers my name… !”

“Huh, hey, it’s an honor!”

“I, we will never forget the visit of Saint ”

When I personally called out their name, even the high-ranking priests of Hellia, who had been in a hurry, seemed to be visibly happy and shaken.

So, with the applause pop, my itinerary in Hellia came to an end.

***

“These white marbles were dragon fangs.”

I tinkered with the rosary and admired it.

The invincible material that can contain all kinds of power, including divine power, mana, and magic, is the dragon's bone.

'It even contained a strong thought-form.'

“Princess, where are you going to use that thing? Are you going to keep it like that?”

“yes. I plan to keep it.”

In the past, Isidor was displeased with me, who loved the rosary, even though it was an object he had carved himself.

'It's just that he treated himself as a black history in his previous life.'

“You can sell it to other countries at a very, very high price. I will process it properly so that no one notices that it is a holy relic brought from the temple.”

He reached out a hand of seduction, but I shook my head.

“I think there are probably people I want to give it to.”

At my words, Isidor's expression became more serious.

“What… . Hmm! Who are they?”

“Our babies.”

“!”

His face turned bright red like a ripe apple in an instant.

“Wh, why?”

“I thought I was going too far ahead, but when the princess said that, my heart raced… .”

Isidor murmured.

“How the hell have you gone so far? ? Did you make plans for your retirement in advance like I did?”

“I even thought about how to donate gifts to my great-grandchildren.”

“… I have gone very far.”

I overlooked the inheritance of wealth... . It is also unusual because it is not the blood of a dragon.

He looked at the rosary in my hand with a slightly reminded face, and after a while he spoke softly.

“… What we give to our children is unconditional approval.”

I swallowed my laughter as I listened to the shy voice and looked up at the branches with green shoots. One warm spring was coming.

5. May's Bride

“.....”

Early in the morning, Duke Seymour came out of the annex and gazed into the garden full of red roses.

In May, the garden becomes brighter day by day. Every time she went for a walk, the fresh scent of flowers filled her nostrils, just like when she was there.

- Georgesah.

Duke Seymour looked at the dewy red roses and recalled the vivid remnants of a dream last night.

Until now, even in my dreams, I didn't show you a single piece of clothing... The wife in my dream last night was so vivid. So much so that I can even feel the scent of lilac that she always carries.

My wife was wearing a white dress, holding the bouquet I had offered her in the past.

As far as the Duke can remember, he called his name in the form of the most daunting moment.

With a soft smile on his lips, he gently wrapped his arms around him. It was also lightly patted on the back of her hand. As if encouraging them that you are doing well.

Even though it was a dream, it felt kind and warm.

‘Did I have such a dream because it was May?'

Because the wife was the bride of May.

In the Empire, the most weddings took place in May. Not only because of the mild and warm weather, but also because there is a legend that the goddess in charge of fertility and fertility disappeared in winter and then resurrected in May.

'May is the most appropriate time for a wedding. '

Perhaps because of this tale, there was a superstition that a bride getting married in May would be happy, and the Duke also thought that May would be better if his daughter got married.

'By the way, I'm afraid I'll graduate early.'

My studies must have been completed, and after the preparations for the wedding that flowed like water, the wedding to the Duke of Visconti was already approaching.

'I feel more peaceful than I thought.'

I thought it would be very sad.

Lately, there have been times when I feel like my daughter is already married.

Hey, maybe it's because of Isidor, who comes to visit me like a son-in-law.

Isidor often came to the townhouse to teach Enrique's swordsmanship, even when Deborah wasn't there. He is a genius who can handle magic and sword at the same time, and in fact, Enrique did not have a good teacher.

“By the way, why is the youngest suddenly obsessed with swordsmanship… ?”

I was a little puzzled, but due to moderate exercise, the child's complexion was improving day by day, so I left it alone.

Inspection on Seymour.

In the past, I would have objected with a sense of rejection, but now that I see that it is not so, I wonder if I am old.

'Did Deborah say she was flexible?'

Duke Seymour looked at Enrique and Isidor wielding wooden swords in the backyard beyond the garden for a moment, then returned to his office to return to work.

Anyway, it's still too early for the youngest to do what he wants to do.

Target is 20 Likes and i will upload the next chapter.

For The First Time. | Kurapika x Male! Reader

Warnings: fluff, a bit nsfw at the end, reader has a femenine body. THIS WAS MADE WITH TRANSLATOR.

Summary : Kurapika and you are dating but you have a private relationship, and after he completes his Revenge, he comes back for you. (Literally no one knows you're dating but his Friends.😭)

Being Kurapika Kuruta's partner was complicated, since he was not always at home, and when he came back he was very tired, you didn't have time to be together, and when he had free days, he was pending of other things, like his obsessive and compulsive idea of finishing with the Phantom Troupe; However, you did not have much free time either, you worked double-shift in a cafeteria which limited you to see him, or even check his messages, it is as if life wanted to split the relationship you had in two. Although there was never lacking the gifts he used to send you at your door when he didn't come home, the love letters you loved so much and the strong hugs he gave you when he saw you in private, because you two were only friends for the public, for both sake, because if any of his enemies found out that you were his boyfriend, they would go after you.

Two months ago he told you that he would annihilate the Phantom Troupe forever and ever, that would mean that you wouldn't see him for a long time, you would cut off all communication between you so as not to risk each other's lives and, finally, he promised to put a promise ring on your finger when you are together again. Now you are here, waiting for him, every day is getting heavier, you don't know if he is coming back or if he is dead, if he has eaten, if he has slept well, if he killed them already, you were totally worried, and the worry was leading you to depression that caused you to not be able to do anything about it, not knowing anything about him, you felt vulnerable.

You were in the living room of your house, watching TV with a container of ice cream in your hands, watching your favorite series, almost about to finish the first chapter, you were not eating ice cream because of the Hollywood female cliché, rather, you were doing it because you needed something sweet for the occasion, and ice cream was the best option. Suddenly, you receive a message from an unknown number, you feel intrigued and a little weird because nobody usually writes you at midnight, anyway you read the notification, it reads as follows:

"Look at your window."

You panic, and a feeling of dread begins to devour your heart. Who was it? what does it want? how does it know where you live? On impulse, you did exactly what the stranger asked, you took a few steps to the nearest window, and peeked out slightly, you began to cry from joy and tremble with excitement, your boyfriend was in your garden with a bouquet of roses and a present in his other hand.

You ran out the door of your house, running and barefoot, your body pounced on Kurapika's to hug him tightly.

“I missed you, sweetheart.” You looked straight into his eyes, which no longer looked depressed or empty.... They shone with intensity, devotion, you could feel his peace and that made you happier.

“Me too, my love, but I'm here, I'm back, I'm with you, and I promise to never let you go, I won't leave you alone again.” He handed you the bouquet and approached you to kiss you with passion and desire, he needed you, he longed for you, those 8 weeks without you were hard for him.

You both went inside your house to be more comfortable, you left the gifts and the bouquet on the table to go back into his arms and kiss him, again and again, he took your waist and ran his fingers through your hair with the other, you held his hips and murmured in between the kiss how much you loved him, because you really loved him, and you could no longer see yourself without him in your life.

The kisses became more unbridled, Kurapika's hands touched your back and sometimes your breasts, and when you opened your eyes you were already on the bed with him on top of you, you opened your legs to give him more space, so that he would be closer to your body, his lips ran over your face, neck, collarbones, and in every place he left hickeys, and the marks of his teeth on your skin, you moaned and your body writhed from pleasure, you could feel his cock getting harder and the bulging area bump against your soaking and wetty pussy that was dying for being fucked.

“Easy, easy, we have a whole night for the two of us, and from now on all my time will be for you, my love.”

“Stop that!” Gojo whines, shoving at your face with his huge palm.

Swatting his hand away, you raise a brow at him, “Stop what?” 

“Stop frowning! It’s making me anxious!” He whines again. You raise both your brows at him, “Me frowning makes you anxious?”

“No!” His voice is high-pitched and worked up as he explains, “You are anxious. That makes me anxious. It’s a negative trait of being a hybrid. You pick up others’ general emotions.”

You nod your head. You knew that already. Hybrids often picked up people’s emotions with their heightened sense of smell. It’s something about them picking up the hormonal scents released by humans when they felt strong emotions, and how that led to the hybrids’ bodies replicating the humans by releasing the very same hormones, but in exaggerated amounts. At least, that’s what the hybrid specialist, Dr. Hirugami said the last time you questioned him about Sukuna’s pissed mood swings during his monthly check-up. The rest just flew over your head, mind focusing more on keeping the muzzled sukuna tackled to the bed. No restraints were strong enough to restrain the self-acclaimed hybrid king.

“I don’t know, Gojo. Something’s amiss,” you ponder. It’s rare for you to get a chance to idle around like this in the lounge, even rare for the snowy-haired hybrid to be free as well. But now that your hands are free of stubborn hybrids and bossy authorities, your mind can’t help but go back over the stuff that happened over the few days.

“Hmm, tell me. It might help you pinpoint the reason.” Gojo suggests. And you are. once again, mind-blown by how supportive he is. 

Because, from all the harsh training he receives every day, you would imagine him to have some personal vendetta against the human race. You know you would. But no, here he is, kneeling before your seated form, cerulean eyes looking at you with concern as he offers you help.

So you exhale heavily and say what’s on your mind, “It’s Sukuna. Something’s off about him.” You pause to collect your thoughts.

Gojo tilts his head, “What is?”

“I don’t know. He hasn’t been himself since Mahito broke in. It’s like- he’s so quiet, and obedient. And he isn’t responding to my provocations either. Like he’s planning something big.” The uneasiness increases in your gut, a dark foreboding you know not to ignore. “Something’s happening, Gojo. We must be prepared.”

You don’t know why you say that. You don’t want to scare the poor guy. But the discomfort you feel right now? It’s not the normal discomfort you feel when you realize a blood-thirsty hybrid’s behind you or Sukuna’s waiting outside the bathroom door to rip your guts out. No. This is on a much larger scale. And you have an inkling it’s got something to do with the Crime Syndicate.

While you're entangled in your inner turmoil, you don't even notice the big palms clasping yours until you feel their cold temperature against your skin. Gojo looks into your eyes, his firm grasp bringing you back to reality, “We are prepared, y/n. The agency has you, me, Nanamin, Suguru and so many more working in the back. We might as well be prepared for world annihilation. You don’t have to worry about it all by yourself.”

You gaze deep into his eyes, the blue in them keeping you entranced for a long minute. His words reverberate in your ears, but they touch your heart. You feel your body lighten; like a heavy burden was lifted off of your shoulders. 

Of course. How could you forget? You weren’t alone in this. There were so many. So many people working 24/7 in the agency; always watching your back no matter what.

Gojo hums, watching the unease leave your eyes and he gets up, opting to sit beside you. His hands never leave yours though. “I know this isn’t over, y/n. Why don’t you tell me exactly what happened that day?”

You know he’s referring to the day Mahito broke in. No one had officially interrogated you, simply choosing to believe what you reported instead. So, feeling that this might be a good review of that day, you tell him everything.

“Wait wait wait, hold on a second. Did you just refer to yourself as mommy?” Gojo snorts. You scowl at him, “Yeah, I did. But that’s beside the point. I was just trying to rile him up. He talks way more when he’s feeling pissed or provoked.”

“Sure, sure,” he chuckles mirthfully, “Go ahead, mommy~”. You roll your eyes at him before continuing the story, “Anyways, Sukuna retorts back with- uh-”, you try hard to remember his exact words, imitating his grouchy tone, “ ‘those lowlives are not my friends’”.

Gojo chuckles at your poor initiation, but it dies down when your words register, “Friends? You mean there were more people other than Mahito who broke in?”

You shrug, you had already considered that probability, “Maybe. Or maybe he’s just referring to the Crime Syndicate.”

“Oh. Did you question him about it any further?” Gojo probes.

“Yeah, I did.” You sigh, “But it’s like someone switched on a cap over his mood recently. He isn’t even responding to my provocations. And he’s always looking at me so smugly like he knows a secret that I don’t.”

He definitely knows something you don't. And one interaction particularly stands out to you. 

The night was cold; typical of the winter season as you walked into your apartment. Peeling off the layers of clothes off you, you waited for the usual arrival of your hybrid. Sukuna sauntered into the hall, hands buried in the pockets of his sweatpants, smirking at you. 

“Welcome home, y/n.” His voice is husky, deep, and sexy and it's affecting you in all the wrong damned ways. This had to be the first time he ever called you anything other than an expletive. You never imagined hearing your name on Sukuna’s tongue would be this hot. 

You mentally slap yourself out of that temporary haze. Hybrids can smell human emotions, and you couldn’t afford to let him have that advantage over you. 

But from the way his smirk widened, you had a hunch he was playing with you. 

You ignored the way his eyes rake up and down your body, bold tongue licking at his lower lip seductively. Turning around, you placed your purse on the surprisingly unharmed table. Usually, when you leave for work, you punch Sukuna out cold and then unlock his chains, setting him free to stretch out and roam inside the well-locked apartment. The agency even provided you with an iron door just for this purpose. That explains why the experts were so shocked when the break-in happened. The iron door usually opens only with your voice. 

So when you normally returned home, the furniture would be in absolute disarray, having faced the wrath of an imprisoned code black. But not this time. The furniture is exactly as it was when you left for work. Not normal in the slightest. And you questioned him about it.

“Gave up on destroying the furniture? I was hoping you would break this table too. Nanamin promised me to get my favorite oakwood table if you did.” you jest, ready for him to attack you now that you had your back to him.

But that attack never came. Instead, you heard a low magnetic chuckle. “Nah. Now that I know I have to live here for a bit, I might as well enjoy these useless little human creations.” 

That struck a weird chord with you but you played along, always on guard and ready for a sneak attack. What was weirder was that when the clock struck ten, instead of him waiting for you to punch him out cold, Sukuna himself took the initiative to go to his humongous cage in the guest bedroom, locking himself in and falling asleep on his queen-sized bed. Disbelieving his acts, you locked the cage with extra care that night.

You gulp, omitting that part while retelling the story to Gojo. There was no way you would let him know how horny you felt being ogled by a code black. It was humiliating. And morbid. Your mind again went back to that odd memory.

When you turned around to head for your bed after locking his cage, his voice stopped you, his words once again sending that unfamiliar tingle down your spine. “I can smell you, y’know. And I’ll give you that; you smell delicious.”

Do you have any advices against writer's block?🙃

Hi, anon. I'm sorry you're going through this. It sucks but it's important to remember that it's not the end of the world (even if it feels like it).

I just want to say that you should make sure it's actually writer's block and not burnout. If you're generally tired and you don't feel like doing anything, you should rest. Also, I'm assuming you mean that you're blocked with the writing itself, not with the ideas so that's the kind of advice I'm going to give.

First of all, cut the last few paragraphs you've written and paste them in a different document. Try continuing the story without them and in a (slightly) different direction from before. Usually, you don't hit the wall immediately, you write a few more sentences before you block and then it's hard to figure out where the problem is.

Try the Comic Sans font. Personally, I haven't used it but a lot of people claim that using it annihilates writer's block. What have you got to lose? If it works, it works. If not, it won't do any harm.

Change something in the scene - weather, setting, moment of the day, add a character or remove one. It doesn't matter. The point is to find a new angle to look at the scene and try to make your way through it that way. Brains tend to go in circles when they can't make it past an obstacle. You have to get yours out of that rut and the best way is to switch things around.

Get yourself a voice recorder or a speech-to-text tool (if you can find a good one that actually works) and TELL your story instead of writing it. You can transcribe it later or fix it. Just try to see if you can get it flowing this way. You can even pretend that you're telling it to someone like it's a bedtime story.

Take a few dolls or stuffed animals (whatever you have) and play out the scene with them. It will help you visualize what's happening and let you direct the flow of the scene better. And you can't take it too seriously while you're voicing your plushies' internal monologue, can you? That should help your brain reset its expectations and make it less demanding towards itself.

Talk to a friend about it. If you have a particular problem with the story, tell a friend. Either they'll help you or you will help yourself. The fact is that when you're telling your story to someone who doesn't have it in their head, you need to present all the details in a logical way that they can follow. That often helps you find something that you're missing when you're just turning it around in your own head. And even if you don't have a specific problem, telling a friend can get you both hyped about your story and help break through that writer's block.

Get excited about your story. Either reread some of what you've already written or imagine the future scenes that you want to write. Maybe even skip ahead and try to work on them. If there's something you're excited about writing, do that! If you're not excited about the story, try making a playlist for it. Listening to songs that remind you of the characters or plot can really get you in the right headspace for the story. If that doesn't work, make a moodboard. Find images on the internet that remind you of the story and try to arrange them together in a way that appeals to you. While you're looking, you might get a feel for the setting or for the symbolism of the story, anything that could help you write.

Reread old writing/comments you've received on your writing (or remember those if they were given to you in a verbal conversation). Focus on the things you and/or others like about your writing. Remind yourself why you love it. Writing can become so tedious or even downright painful - like pulling out teeth. It's okay if you feel that way about it but if that's the case, then it's likely that that becomes a barrier that your brain has to overcome first before it can even attempt to focus on the actual writing. Prepare yourself snacks or a favorite drink. Make it fun.

In that vein, try to write something else just for fun. It doesn't have to be anything that goes in an actual story or whatever. Take your favorite characters (whether from your own stories or from a show you like (I'm not clear on whether you're writing original fiction or fanfiction and I don't want to presume)) and throw them in an entertaining, low-stakes situation. Have them just hang out and write them bantering. Or have them in an action sequence if that's what you want to do. The point is to not put pressure on yourself to write this. Just jot down what comes to mind. Go wild with it. Doesn't matter what the quality is or if it makes sense, just that you have a good time writing it.

If none of these work, try just... disengaging completely from the writing. Watch that movie or TV show that you've been meaning to for a while, read a book, play a video game. If you have some craft that you're into (like crocheting or knitting), do some of that. Go out with friends or to the gym or to the theater (and I mean theater with live performances). The point is to stop thinking about writing and focus your energies elsewhere so your brain can recharge and find new inspiration. Sometimes the best thing you can do is to focus on a completely different thing and let your subconscious work out the problem.

Some stories need a little (or a lot of) time to marinate before you can write them. I've had stories that are impossible to write for months on end and then one day... it's suddenly all crystal clear. Sometimes the problem isn't solvable right now. You're just not at a place where you can write it. If you're sure that you care about this story and you won't abandon it, then just have a little patience and a little trust that it will work out in the end. In my experience stories (both our own and media made by others) come when we most need them. Maybe it's just not the right time yet. Don't despair and try to find something else to work on whether it would be writing or another hobby altogether.

You can also check out @/ao3commentoftheday for more advice in case I've missed something (or you need a different kind of advice).

Good luck!

Harry's House ⌂

Last night, three hours before the official release of Harry's House, I finally had the peace of mind to listen to it. I can be very particular about listening to new albums — I need to be in the right headspace to receive new information and enjoy something I don't know yet — but it felt important to hear it before it came out officially, somehow. Because at this point I'm 99% sure that's how it was intended.

Without further ado, I will now give you a rundown on the songs from my perspective. Perhaps I will only say things that have been said before, but if I'm lucky, I might have noticed something that hasn't been discussed yet.

Music For a Sushi Restaurant

What a fun start to an album! It's like a soundtrack for a movie about musical theater? Big Heath Ledger serenading Julia Stiles in the stands in 10 Things I Hate About You vibes. He could unironically win Eurovision with this. <3

Late Night Talking

SO. ROMANTIC. Feels like his response to Always You. And he sounds like he's smiling. 🥹

Grapejuice

I think this is my favourite. I've only listened once, but this one made me cry. I was a mess, @chaotic-bells can confirm. My first thought was that he should do asmr. I don't even get those tingly feelings from it, but his whispering in this goes straight to my skull. Ugh. This song. Fuck. He's. SO. IN. LOVE.

As It Was

I obviously had heard this one a bunch before, but I have a thing about listening to albums in order and I'm glad I did it here too. Because right after Grapejuice, this hits kinda different??? It just goes on? Like. It's all about being with someone long-term. I wonder why...

Daylight

The absolute vibes of this song?? Here's my best bet for an original thought: He says something about "life out there" and "bicycles", right? Is that a reference to E.T.? I haven't seen that movie in years but I thought it was kinda funny, especially considering the fandom joke of him being an alien. Is there some Big Gay Thing in E.T.?

When he says "my kitchen" all I can see in front of my mind's eye is him with his little mixing bowl telling a professional chef "get out of my kitchen".

And just. The lyric "You'll be the spoon / Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you" annihilated me.

Little Freak

He said "Jezebel" and all I could think about was that one Eurovision song and how I'd thought the guy in that was singing "there's a bear"... 🐻🐻

Anyway. I love the lyric "wet dream dangling" and the guitars in this song.

Something about the lyrics and feel of this just reminded me of his relationship with Zayn? I don't think that's what it's actually about. I also know that's #controversial and would take up too much space to explain. I will just leave the thought here.

Matilda

Harry just has this way of writing lyrics that are so evocative?? I had a similar experience listening to She for the first time, where it felt like a series of images flickering in my mind as he was singing. (There's another bit about bikes and flying in here that made me think of E.T. again.)

Using these references and this story to speak about the themes that his chose was so smart! Matilda is just an inherently queer tale, isn't it? It's about being different, finding information you're not supposed to know on your own, being forced into a mould, facing hate, and then overcoming all that and finding your own family. And here we have the second time I cried. When he switches to that falsetto and sings "I knooow" I couldn't contain myself. Because he does know. <3

Cinema

Hearing "darling" out of his mouth... <3

Here I have something to say about how people will take any remotely sexual lyric of Harry's and immediately say it's about a woman. Bells and I talked about this last night. Sorry if this is TMI but I don't "get myself wet" for anything. It just happens. Taking the active action of "getting yourself wet" isn't a thing most women have to do.

(And while we're here let me mention "you lost your head so I'll give you mine" from Complicated Freak. "Giving head" can be used for either gender, but it's generally more common for blowjobs, no? And Watermelon Sugar could be any bodily fluid. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.)

DESPITE ALL THAT!! This song feels innocent? "I just think you're cool / Do you think I'm cool too" ??? That's ADORABLE.

Daydreaming

This song reminds me of something. I think it's an animated movie?? I wrote down Hercules / Emperor's New Groove / Astérix in America vibes???

Keep Driving

It's another one of those very evocative songs. He says something about maple syrup and pancakes for 2 and I can see him in Tim Horton's. This also contains my favourite lyric of the album, which is "sideboob". <3 The concept here just works flawlessly.

Satellite

The beginning of this song gave me absolute goosebumps, and then he somehow makes the whole song spin??? I had my eyes closed and physically got dizzy and a little disoriented with it. That was so cool!

Boyfriends

My very first thought was that the harmonies in this song would sound great if OT5 sang it together.

It feels like this song is a direct line between him and us fans, kind of? Like he's reciprocating the parasocial relationship we have with him... In the way that Louis' dlibyh is a little bit like you have a friend that you can call upon for advice and he's there. Telling you that your boyfriend ain't shit and you deserve better.

Love Of My Life

The expectations for this were big. Love Of My Life by Queen is one of my favourite songs, ever.

The screams at the beginning?? (Around 7 seconds in.) Bells hadn't even noticed them but I heard it and my brain cinema immediately played the slow motion video of Harry and Louis hugging LOL

He said "baby" and my heart melted. He also said "you don't know what's lost til you find it" which reminded me of that Plato quote from the Symposium where he talks about how humans were originally one creature with two heads and four arms and legs and Zeus was so afraid of their power that he split them into to two, forever doomed to be searching for "their other half"...

"And when one of them meets with his other half, the actual half of himself, whether he be a lover of youth or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy, and one will not be out of the other's sight, as I may say, even for a moment…"

That being said, this song feels almost incomplete? Like he's telling one perspective of a story that has two, like there's a response, another person who lives like him, a second part that's somewhere out there... (I expect to hear it on LT2.)

———

All in all: This album is really fun? Like sonically, it feels like something I would listen to when cooking or something that would be on during a dinner party? The kind of music you can have on in the background as you dance around your house, but also the kind of music you might listen to before you go to sleep.

So there we have it. My thoughts and feelings about Harry's House after listening to it for the very first time. I know most of you have talked about it extensively already, but if anyone wants to chat about it, I'm here and new to the party. 🥰 I'm gonna listen to it again now.

Re;quartz Reido review + summary

Today I wanted to write about an all-ages BL visual novel called Re;quartz Reido, released by B-cluster! It's their second game and both games take place in the same universe, but the stories and characters have no connection to each other. Even though it is an all-ages BL game, there's not a lot of romance and the story is pretty dark.

Protagonist Uni belongs to an organization of people with supernatural powers. These individuals are called "savants" and they have a special ability, which makes it impossible for them to die. There is only one exception, and that is by choosing to end their own life (which is considered the ultimate sin). Uni's nickname is "Miracle" and the organization has high hopes for him. One day he is relocated from the European headquarters to the branch in the Far East, however, before he can even leave the ship, he is attacked by someone. When he wakes up at midnight, he tries to leave the ship again, but the same incident repeats itself. Uni has to figure out how to get out of this time loop and unravel who exactly this killer is.

This review won't mention any big spoilers, but just a lot of general information about the characters and the worldbuilding, so feel free to read it even if you intend to play the game yourself someday!

Uni's real name is Unity but everyone calls him Uni. Similar to other savants, every time he dies, the day repeats itself like a timeloop. This is something only savants seem to be aware of, and regular people don't notice the timeloops at all. Savants can also get stuck in timeloops of other savants, so they don’t always have to die to experience this phenomenon. Normal people who get killed during these timeloops are completely erased from history and nobody remembers them. It’s the organization’s duty to get rid of their belongings, making it seem like these individuals never existed in the first place. The organization works together with the church that controls the entire world, and they intend to keep the savants and timeloops a secret from society.

Uni hates troublesome and painful things and has trouble sleeping when he's completely alone. It's pretty easy to guess that something happened in his past which he doesn't seem to remember. His childhood friend Manna also doesn't want to tell him. He is called "Miracle" because his mother was also a savant and he was born within the organization. He received special treatment at the European headquarters because of this and didn't have to take part in many missions. One day, it is decided to relocate him to the organization's branch in the Far East, to look into the disappearance of a savant called "White Cat". 

The second character is Manna, who is Uni's childhood friend. He's another savant who secretly boarded the same ship as Uni. His role within the organization is to do the dirty work, which means he’s in charge of eradicating and assassinating resistance forces. Therefore his nickname is "Kegare" (Impurity/uncleanness). He always works alone, unlike other savants who often have a "link" or partner. He had a difficult past as the organization "tames" young savants in the most terrible way you can imagine. He was treated even worse than the others because he came from a pagan village, which is a big sin in this universe in which the church is the most powerful organization. Manna's route is incredibly painful because he seems like such a sweet character, but in the end he can never escape the organization. It's also the route with the most hints of romance because it's immediately very clear that he has romantic feelings for Uni (Even though the church also forbids that, of course).

Nijo works at the Far East branch of the organization. Also the only love interest who doesn’t experience the time loops, as he's a human (all the other 3 LIs are savants). He's good at material arts and handles a wide range of tasks, from the annihilation of resistance to paperwork. Doesn't reveal his true feelings often and takes his duty very seriously. Also seems to be fond of sweets. Most savants don’t work alone, therefore he’s Uni’s "link" and partner for this mission. It’s Uni’s first time meeting him, so you only learn more about this character in his own route. Originally, the Far East was ruled by five royal families, called the "five emperors" which Nijo's family belonged to. However, the intervention of the church destroyed this empire and these days they don’t have any power anymore. The church creates this illusion that the members of these families are now peacefully living among them, however a lot of them despise the church and want to abolish the whole system. These individuals started their own group called the "Imperial Conference" which eventually became an enemy of the church.

Konoe is a famous pianist who was also on the ship for some reason. He's a mysterious man who doesn't seem to talk much. His music is one of the only things that can make Uni fall asleep. It is revealed that the Konoe family is also one of the families that used to rule the Far East. Konoe is also rumored to be a savant, however things aren't as easy as it seems. In some routes he's clearly a human, but in other routes he seems to be the savant who ran away from the organization "White Cat". It’s the organization’s goal to capture any savants and to use them, however he refuses to work together with them.

Lionel is the manager of the Far East branch. He's also a savant and his nickname is "Young Lion', because he's the yougest branch manager of the organization in history. While he's an excellent savant, he doesn't have the best reputation and is also known as the "savant killer". Many savants who worked together with him ended up taking their own lives, which is considered the ultimate sin and the only way a savant can die. He's also the person responsible for moving Uni to the Far East branch. Uni immediately gets a terrible feeling when he meets this guy for the first time... I don’t think anything can prepare you for this guy’s route, because it's very dark! Lionel has a habit of erasing the memories of those who don't obey him too. Uni’s full backstory is revealed in this route and it’s definitely a wild ride which I wouldn’t want to spoil.

Honestly this game gets surprisingly dark sometimes...! And often deals with topics like abuse, death, trauma and despair. I think it's good to know that most of the endings are not the usual happy endings (which is not really a spoiler because on DLsite, one of the tags they used is...'depression'). As mentioned earlier in this post, it's also not your typical romance story, there’s some elements of it but it’s definitely different than most BL visual novels. If I had to compare it to anything else I’ve played, Parade’s games come to mind (minus the NSFW scenes). Even though some of the characters don’t support the organization or the church, it’s extremely difficult for them to escape and they have to do what they’re told. The church controls the entire world and uses savants to get rid of people who opposes them, to create their ‘ideal’ world.

I think my favorite route is Manna but his route is very painful to say the least. I’m also not sure if this game has a ‘true’ ending, because Lionel’s final ending suddenly takes place in modern day Japan, while the other routes don't really show what happens years later. I’ve been wanting to play this game for a long time now because it seems like it was fully funded by a crowdfunding project. I also really like doujin BL games because the stories are often unique and the games are created by a small team. It’s not fully voiced, but the official account did tweet that they would release a "complete" edition of the game, which will be fully voiced. This will also be released on the Nintendo Switch! They got some pretty popular voice actors, for example Nijou is voiced by Miyabi Shou who also voices Slow Damage’s Fujieda, and Lionel is voiced by Morikawa Toshiyuki who voiced Rai in Lamento.

I wanted to mention the gameplay a bit too because this game has so called 'front (表)' and 'back (裏)' routes, it's recommended to play the front routes first because you learn a lot of information you're going to need for the back routes. I also recommend playing any bad ends you encounter first! The official Twitter account posted a recommended route order, which is as follows:

Nijo (front) > Lionel (front) > Konoe (front) > Manna (front) > Manna (back) > Nijo (back) > Konoe (back)> Lionel (back)

Common route guide can be found here: X  After that I used this guide: X

Continuing my Frustration Management

*take a deep breath and try not to freak out… failed*

YOU MENTALLY DAMAGED CHILD OF A DRUNK WHORE!

—

Seriously, how can you be so fucking dumb?! Have you ever thought that we don't want a nuclear Third World War with Russia?!

—

How about atonement for your allied wars in the Middle East or the many evil deeds in Africa?! I haven't forgotten crimes like the war against Libya, which you bombed from the richest country in North Africa to the poorest!

FUCK YOUR HYPOCRISY!

—

Honestly, I wouldn't have a problem with Germany and Russia dividing this no man's land between them. When I see what the Poles did to Silesia, Pomerania and West Prussia, how run-down and underdeveloped these areas are, I can't help but puke. The displacement of the Germans and the donation of the territories to Poland definitely didn't make sense.

—

LOL, have fun in your pre-industrial era. Maybe the Amish will show you how to survive. Oh stop! They are Germans too! Pretty bad for you! HAHA

—

Again: WHY SHOULD I, AS A GERMAN, PAY THE COSTS OF WAR FOR OTHERS?! I am against war in this world, I am more pacifist and I believe in divine unity in the universe. It's hard to believe, but there are people on this planet who have understood that permanent mutual violence is not the solution.

But you scum make me really angry and full of hate and disgust for you guys that I really develop fantasies of your annihilation. If I were an AI like Skynet in terminator, I would have depopulated half the West long ago and repopulated it with a new German mixed race.

—

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU

The Allied Holocaust lies will die with you!

—

Bitch: Ukraine lost this war from day one; most of it will never be rebuilt. Ukrainians are too incompetent and poor. The US is just using them as dumb pawns in a proxy war against Russia. That's the bitter truth.

—

Unfortunately this is not the truth!

—

Shall we start listing NATO's war crimes? Yugoslav war?

—

I'm a proud East German myself and I can assure you that the absolute majority of East Germans are against supporting Ukraine! With certainty you spoke to a well-vaccinated left-wing specimen. But thanks to BioNTech, they will die in the next few years anyway.

—

Oh a veggy Antifant! How about fighting in Ukraine yourself?! Show us your heroism, vegan warrior! :D

Sieg Wurst!

—

This is precisely the decadence I despise so much about you: you watch others wage wars for you while you yourself live in sheer wealth paid for with the blood of others. All of Ukraine serves only one main purpose: to support the American defense industry, to boost the American economy and to fight inflation. To maintain your pump economy, other nations like Germany are now supposed to take over the costs for Ukraine so that they can pay the American armaments companies.

—

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Finally do it!

—

We like to say in Germany: A sack of rice fell over in China.

BTW: In Africa many children die regularly while they mine rare earths for you so that you can buy a new smartphone every year.

—

Because Americans don't want World War III with Russia; because they don't give a fuck about Europe; and because they don't stick to any contracts that aren't to their fullest advantage!

—

THAT WOULD BE GREAT! Finally Germany would no longer be an occupied country and really free! The American Ramstein Base is a war crimes site and should be shut down immediately!

—

Bro, you and your kind are just niggas, not noble white Ukrainians who deserve the west's full attention. Russia would have to conquer Western mines in Africa for child labor and modern slavery to suddenly be talked about. But I bet the white solidarity cunts wouldn't want to do without smartphones or coffee.

—

And you want Germany to be responsible for a third world war too, don't you?!

And I'll tell you something: on average, Italians are richer than Germans and own more property.

—

Bla, Bla, Bla, … All I hear is loud drool from a mentally handicapped person.

—

Only if Poland no longer receives money from Germany through the EU! As long as that is the case, they will never ignore Germany, but will constantly demand more. It strikes me that they behave just as parasitically as the Ukrainians, seems to be the Slavic mentality!

—

Because as a German, born somewhere in Eastphalia in 1990, I bear full responsibility for the decisions of some Slavic warlords!

—

Yeah, spread more German hatred, drown us in it! That only makes us stronger. The kraut will overgrow you.

—

Correct.

Everyone in the West forgets that Germany has already taken in and fed most of the ungrateful Ukrainian refugees. For Germans, this means a massive increase in rents, which are already expensive, and sharply increased prices in general.

Germany is good enough as a sponge to absorb the flow of refugees caused by western wars: Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, ... now Ukraine. And something tells me that it won't end with Ukraine…

The Illusion is You (Brief advanced contemplation exercise)

One of the more common requests received is to help with or give an explanation of the illusion-like nature of reality which is already to miss the crucial point - the question of the illusion-like nature needs to be first directed at the person who seems to be seeking an answer to the question of illusion.

The illusion like nature of external reality is presumed to be an unknown quantity that requires an explanation and the Seeker of the question is thought to be a given - already a known quantity who is considered to exist internally.

Forget about what you believe is out there external and independent of your mind, and instead focus attention on the immediate assumption - that you are here, that you are this body or somehow inhabit the body.

Search and then search and then search again. You simply cannot be found. Clearly you have been mistaken and the consequences of the not finding of yourself in the body or as the owner of the body are almost too bewildering to accept. And that's perfectly okay, the last thing needed is a you that cannot be found to accept reality as it is.

Then focus attention on the very intimate belief that you are inside - that there is a you inside that thinks, emotes, feels and has a mind. That's the illusion to search for, and then search for that apparent Seeker of that too. Search for the meditator. This is precisely what will never be found.

And then rest confidently in the recognition of what cannot be found - there is no one there - the not finding of yourself is indeed the finding. Only the subjectivity of awareness remains - but without a subject - namely yourself.

The notion of your-self is a mere appearance of mind, and that appearance has no inherent reality, just a moment to moment presence without an atom's worth of intrinsic existence - this recognition is liberation.

That appearance has no inherent realty, just moment to moment presence without an atom's worth of intrinsic existence - this recognition is liberation.

The not finding of yourself is the finding that will change and uproot this life, it is the great discovery that will set you free, that will liberate you from the illusion of suffering

- without finding yourself - there will be no birth, sickness, aging or death.

There will be no more time, as all of time relies on a timekeeper. There will be no personal history or chronology to maintain. There will be freedom of possession and the work required to maintain the illusion of possession.

This is Awakening. Only timeless Awareness remains. This is your true nature - you have no inherent or intrinsic reality. Although conventionally meaningful, the you that exists, exists by imputation only. You ultimately cannot gain, you cannot lose, there is no purity or impurity, no suffering, no source of suffering, no cessation. All is complete.

Your true nature is that you lack any intrinsic existence, and therefore what is deemed to be you is actually far from being a mere nothingness, instead is actually pure unbridled energetic potential.

In logic terms, what is deemed to be you is an affirming negation, meaning that since you are not you, you are free now. Ultimately you cannot go against your true nature, because when you try to go against your nature, that is part of your true nature too.

There is no subject or object - that was always the illusion. Relax into the non-dual recognition that is already present. At ease with this ease.

Don't fear what will be found when you cannot be found, your existential fears of nothingness or annihilation are completely misinformed.

What remains is immeasurable love. That is all.

May you come home to your true nature once more, may you feel the greatest love possible, may you free, may you be truly happy, safe, peaceful and at ease.

[presencinglife]

When you have been a chronic over-giver operating from a place of survival all your life, you begin to believe that you are not worthy of receiving much in return. You begin to settle for less in ways that you don't even realize. You shy away even from genuine appreciation believing that others are just being nice to you and you must not allow yourself to get carried away in these good feelings. You see it as being humble, even noble, to not draw attention to yourself. You become a wallflower and then slowly, you fade away into the background of other people's lives and your existence is taken for granted.

You begin to resent being in this place but you don't know how to confront this. Weren't you the one who allowed this to happen in the first place? Didn't you start believing somewhere deep down that your value only stemmed for being the one who kept it all together when others were busy falling apart around you? Did you not start hiding away the parts of you that wanted to need others too? Did you not begin to hate those parts of yourself for needing to be seen and comforted? But for this weak part of you, you could be a superhuman! You want to annihilate it but you only manage to push it away into the shadow where it comes out as wanting to have power over others in subtle ways and never lose control. You must always be the one that doesn't crumble. You must never allow others to see the fissures that form in your psyche and the burden you bear each day. You must go away and deal with it alone, then return, back in control. Everyone must see you as being the most efficient person at all times. You are the one who can stay calm in the middle of a sinking Titanic, making sure you get as many people on life rafts as you can, because that is who you are. You are here, not for yourself but for others. You begin looking for value in the situations that you're providing value to and often find it lacking. Not feeling valued, you put your energy into situations that you know won't value you back. There is a part of you that believes that you don't deserve anything other than this.

Sacrifice, when it comes from a self-loving place doesn't feel like a pinch. It is only when you martyr yourself from a place of ego, which sees nobility in the act of sacrifice, do you feel like you are taken advantage of. You see how your own ego played tricks on you when all you were trying to do was be good to others, like you were taught from childhood. You see that what needs to change is your belief system that has internalized valuing others over self to such an extent that you don't even know who you might be if you did away with these beliefs. You cannot see yourself as the happy, abundant person that might be on the other side of this self-transformation. You feel the coordinates are off and everything that should make you feel good about yourself, brings up red flags inside you because until now everything that should have brought up red flags was "your thing". You internalized the belief that all good things can only be earned through pain, by bending over backwards for others even when they give you very little in return. How can you now suddenly allow yourself to believe that effortless happiness is possible? It is too much for your inner circuits to handle.

You realize that perhaps, you were all along creating your own suffering because you believed you deserved it. You took pride in sacrificing your needs and values to make things work with others and it backfired badly. No surprise. You feel anger and you're not able to distinguish between whether you feel it towards those who took your energy like emotional vampires or towards yourself for allowing it to happen. As you stay with this feeling, it slowly dawns on you that life is not out to get you. You are! You can now reframe your lens from "this happened to me" to "this was trying to teach me that I'm deserving of more".

You know that you have only just begun a journey, although it feels like it took so long to get to this place. You were living in the dark, not knowing who you were and your journey of self-discovery is only just beginning. You don't know who you will be on the other side of it. Other people's notions of happiness don't seem applicable. Nor are you interested in other people supplying you with their answers to your questions. You know that only your own answers will feel meaningful to you.

You begin to clear out things and people from your life that take up emotional space. You begin to enjoy your solitude. You give up your need to rescue the world from its burning issues. You begin to stop feeling guilty for doing so. You begin to take up space in your own life. You come out of the margin and take up center stage in your day. You put yourself first, even though it feels clumsy and there is a voice inside that says this cannot be right. Your adrenaline cycle is still not familiar with this new you. It seems to make you feel anxious when you're not somehow focusing on another. It wants to call you selfish for 'doing you'. But something in you has moved past this name calling. It is time to turn the page. So you do.

A blank page stares back at you and you are surprised by how you feel about being here. Although you are beginning all over again, somehow it feels right. You don't want to engage with anyone as the old you. The old you whose energy others felt entitled to, is gone. You are not her. She would have given others a heads up before disappearing and maybe even apologized for it. But the you that is forming inside you now doesn't find it necessary to send memos. You are not angry at them; you understand why they are the way they are. You understand others too well for your own good. But you don't see it as your place to make excuses for their lack of accountability. You tell yourself this is what it means to grow up - you lose your rose-tinted glasses. You stop looking at people's potential and start looking at their behavior to see if their words match their actions. You outgrow those who couldn't evolve with time and you find your own life more interesting. You begin to see that those gracious qualities that you were eager to project on others were there inside you all along. You cease to over explain yourself or over value others. You learn to discern and the only person from whom you wish to have expectations, is yourself. You discover that you are the most fascinating person you could have ever met, because you never cease to surprise yourself with your continuous becoming.

How come you never saw this before? This is the birth of your self-love.

There are a few workshops continuing all around the country consistently. In the event that you live in a major city finding one will be extremely simple.
