2. Scars [and a realization]

Do you know how children don't know of the pain a scar brings? It might just be me, but i got conscience pretty late of how to get a scar you needed to get hurt and to get a BIG scar you needed to get REALLY hurt. I don't think Kid!Lloyd sees that yet.

HEYY nothing like a bittersweet comic to start our morning right? Let's all pretend it's still october 2, just this once.

If you're curious abt where this situation came from, it came from one of my au's!

I don't talk a lot of them, but for context, Lloyd managed to get himself spawn in the past weeks before the green ninja was even figured out. Nobody recognizes him and while i have him wear his mask on the au, here it was removed just for aesthetic purposes. So if you imagine him with the mask on during this, it would be canon.

But basically, nobody knows he's Lloyd and they're just excited to have the green ninja around, kid!Lloyd is less thrilled about it (having the suspected murderer of your father near, he completed the prophecy so,, does that to you) but they bond sometimes, when K!Lloyd isn't busy pranking his older self.

The way the breakup/fight was framed as light vs dramatic. Byler endgame.

now that im much more lucid after that period of horrible exhaustion that lasted much longer than i had expected, i feel like putting more effort into writing, even if its just discworld fic, has really improved my general ability to formulate sentences, and it makes me think that if i continue to write more often, even just a little, i could really start learning how to say things that make sense. the only problem is that when i start writing sentences like these i get annoyed at my own writing and how self referential and pretentious it sounds

#sam.txt #like yes i know i still sound hysterical sometimes #but im getting better #and ive been absorbing a lot of pratchetts writing sensibilities (not super well but im getting there) #and combining that with my wordiness has been gratifying

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

#i originally posted this as just a 'hey remember how fuckin bad middle/highschool was? shit was wild' type post but now #there are a bunch of teens in the notes being like 'oh my god are you serious? it gets better? im not stuck in hell forever??' #and im reminded that the only people who told teenage ella 'it gets better' were speakers at mental health assemblies #aka the least relatable people alive who were seemingly born to lie to you #so. uh. yeah im a certified adult who isnt here to lie or sugarcoat the realities of being a teenager #the only thing more certain than the pain is the transcience

[mausolealdrift]

its baffling seeing people on here being all shocked about how other ppl didnt have sex or do drugs or drink or go to parties etc etc in high schools like. sorry i was too busy getting bullied to do all of that stuff i guess. why are you surprised that there’s losers on the cringe loser website

#like yeah i WISHED i could do that sort of stuff #but i felt so completely isolated from everyone else at my school bc ppl were so nasty to me #its fine cos im doing all the stuff i missed out on now that im in university #but some ppl dont even get that chance #maybe its not that serious but. idk. just dont be a dick #but also ppl who didnt do that stuff acting like theyre better than ppl who did is fucking annoying and also a dick move. btw #📼

we'll do fine.

#fionna and cake spoilers #what hits me a little is how similar fionna and simon's stories are in the case of finding nuance in their lives #when both have gone through their separate but still valid pain no matter the extent it had been #and its that they met each other they get to see how it compares and they're no less worth of the peace and fun they dreamed of #even in the form of simplicity and just being normal #“i wouldn't have met THE fionna and cake” “we wouldn't have met THE simon petrikov” #it hits me harder that after the dandelion scene would've been their last time seeing each other physically #and how assuring simon sounded when fionna didn't know what to do with the literal world in her hands #tho im sure prismo isnt that much of a rule jerk lol i still drew out the revelation anyway with this tiniest addition #also the fact fionna's world is influenced by simon's thought processes and conditions so now things are a little better for both of them #fionna the human #fionna campbell #simon petrikov #qiiarts #the lil flashback of #betty grof #fionna and cake #adventure time

I recorded a song today much to the dismay of my anxiety and people keep saying they like it and that it's good and it's just this sense of woah flowing over me. Like... I can make things and do things and there're no prerequisites for skill level or talent or equipment. I just wrote a song and recorded it on my phone to my uke and it's rough but it exists and that's more than I can say for so many things I've said I'd create.

Sometimes, I doubt that I like her for her. I get irrationally worried that I only like them for just the things they say or the entertainment they provide.

When that happens, I take a couple of deep breaths and list out the reasons why I like her. I remind myself that the happiness she gives me through her words (and our stories) isn't wrong. It's not selfish; it's the way we show affection to each other.

#i am a worried creature it seems #but im getting better #she helps me get better
