in internet posts it is easy to cut them out of your life. they are hurting you! they aren't listening to you!

they held your hair back. they lent you lipstick. they held your hand at the train station and got you home safe. they rounded on your bully, got loud, said get fucked, spitting-mad in your defense.

they also cut the hair off again. told you that you should really think twice before wearing something like that. took you for granted. took your insecurities and threw them in your face again.

you know logically it should be easy. all the internet advice comments always read it will feel better. like an equation - if a person is rotten, you just remove them. you pull the tooth that's hurting.

but it was never a big flare-up moment. you don't live in a sitcom. they never tried to take your boyfriend or steal from your apartment. they showed up to birthdays and they wrote songs about you and bring you water without you asking. once you found out they carry an emergency inhaler for you, even though you haven't had an asthma attack in years - just in case.

where is the line? people fuck up. sometimes they fuck up badly. sometimes people have raw personalities, like a powerline, and being around them is dangerous. addicting. sometimes they can't help themselves, but you know they're trying. sometimes they are just rough-around-the-edges. sometimes they don't even realize how they sounded when they said that. sometimes it's just - you've both loved each other for so long now, the way this thing hurts goes back to the root.

and that's the fucked up part. you have pushed your fingers against the sweetheart of memory. things these days are electric, tense, harrowing. they didn't used to be. there were a lot of good days in there. sometimes you want to just close your eyes and say can this be over yet? do we still need to be fighting?

doing that would give up any chance you get of getting an apology, but you don't always know that you need an apology, you love them. once they flaked on your birthday party. once they told you to get over it, people are always dying. they also let you crash on their couch for a week after the breakup, handfeeding you when you were so sad you couldn't eat. they are also judgmental about everything, occasionally react to banal statements with an attitude that is weird and fiery. they also love you like a lighthouse sometimes, so strong they cut the storm like lightning.

but the problem is that you might be storm. you might be the thing that needs breaking. what if you are two forces who are desperately, horribly drawn to each other, shaped by the other person's passions, and both good for each other and bad in equal measure.

what if you're both just people, and you're no saint neither.

just cut them off! swallowing the saltwater, you catch yourself in the mirror. you've been shaking more than usual. there's an ache in you that is oblique, loud, impossible to soothe. is this what it looks like? when life is "easier"?

your mouth will always have a hole, is the thing, if you remove the tooth.

#spilled ink #warm up #writeblr #this is about someone specific but feel free to blorbo on main.#tbh this is familial for me so that is an element but it's also about childhood best friends #and probably about ur enemies to lovers blorbo #(but i want to specifically say if ur partner is like this. not necessarily a good partnership lol.)#(the dynamics at play in familial/friend relationships feel equally important and in some ways are HARDER to escape.#bc we can see that this is a potentially toxic romantic foundation.#but in family ? ...... it's toxic and it doesn't stop u from loving them. bc u always have.#and i think that makes it harder. by a lot. which is what this is referencing).#but genuinely and really truly forever feel free to tag ur potentially toxic enemies to lovers on this and all my poetry #here i'll do one for u - adora & catra :x

I just realized that The Locked Tomb series would be waaaay more popular than it is right now if one or both of the leads were male cause people go nuts for hogwarts esc houses, enemy's to lovers romance, and lore as deep as my fingers in your mom.

Someone please talk to me about this I am genuinely out raged.

#the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #like its litrually a recipe for success #houses with specific personality traits that are easy to attach and easily marketable #enemys to lovers #the lore oh GOD THE LORE #girlies should be going nuts for it but for some reason everyone hates women and thats the true tragedy here #and lesbians. they also hate lesbians #maybe its for the best. they could barely handle Catra so i dont think theyd handle Harrow very well #both a blessing and a curse. not popular enough to be able to buy merch at a convention but at least we arent getting garbage hot takes like #the she ra fandom did

I always feel like the worst kind of character redemptions (other than redemptions where a character immediately redeems themselves after one conversation) are ones where the villain is betrayed and so they switch sides, and it's treated like they've become a better person.

#txt #it was one of my biggest pet peeves with how catra's redemption was handled (As well as everyone being her bff lol)#kid cosmic did this too but chuck was funny so i was fine with it #i think rise of the tmnt handled this concept the best. draxum was betrayed but it didn't mean he's a good guy now #he was a wanted criminal who only accepted help from mikey because he needed a place to hide #and then they slowly bonded and he gradually reforms himself #i love shit like that

as much as i hate horde prime i gotta admire how he showed up and humbled the fuck out of everyone. like SO many characters had an Oh Fuck moment where they realised there was so much more to everything than whatever feelings they had about the war on etheria. like he's the fucked up reason why catra and adora managed to rekindle their bond. and why glimmer was able to see she was wrong and apologise to the best friend squad. and the catalyst for glimmer and catra's friendship. and why hordak was able to realise he cared more about the genuine love he had from one person on etheria than anything else he'd ever achieved there. in conclusion I LOVE SEASON 5 YOU CAN PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS.

#like the fact that prime was a sheer cosmic threat is what had everyone uniting against him you love to see it #they all just stood up straight and were like okay nevermind we have to kill this guy #spop #she ra #entrapdak #entrapta #hordak #she ra and the princesses of power #shera #catra #adora #catradora #glimmer #glimbow #bow #bow spop #best friend squad #horde prime #horde clones

Adora is such a sap. But she’s got her best friends and the love of her life, I’d be happy too 🥹💕

OK WAIT THEY INTRODUCE BOW AND CATRA THE SAME WAY

Like at first you think catra is kinda a bitch cause you don't know if she's joking and then it's revealed that she and adora are besties (and also super in love but that comes later)

And the same with bow except you think he's trying to kill glimmer but then he's revealed to be he most adorable cinnamon role ever.

AND THEY ARE BOTH IN LOVE WITH THEYRE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS. AND HAVE CUTOUTS ON THEIR SHIRTS.

Anyway Nate Stevenson I see what you did there.

#she ra #she ra season five #Cause that's when they all get together #catradora #Catra #Adorable #Catradora #Bow #glimmer #best friend squad #easter eggs #kinda #I'm probably late to the game my bad #glimbow #spop #spop s5 #Realization

I think this is my favorite episode of She-Ra so far (S2E2 "Ties That Bind") mostly because I just love the dichotomy between Adora and Catra when they have their first conversations with Bow alone after being captured.

Adora and Bow have a profound discussion about the lies the Horde has told Adora and her crazy gf deadass goes "what if I pushed him off a cliff?"

#also that screencap of bow helping Adora over that root is super cute #they are the best besties #spop #she ra #she ra and the princesses of power #adora #catra #bow #catradora #glimbo #spop is so fucking funny #noelle stevenson is a legend

*getting ready for a party*

Adora: Catra was PISSED she lost that bet. You're not gonna make her do anything too crazy right?

Glimmer: Don't worry, I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised.

*Catra enters in a stunning black, knee-length dress with matching lipstick and earrings*

Catra: Mark my words Sparkles, you WILL pay for this.

Bow: Wow...

Glimmer: *blushing* Plan backfiring!

Adora: *lesbian.exe has stopped working*

I saw this gif and started sobbing because of how genuinely different she looks. She's taller, she's got more muscles on her arms, her eyes are literally less bright, her ears tilt downward, her chin has softened and her face shape really has changed so much. This is the only time in the entire series when I really see any difference in her outside of her outfit but holy shit that war took a TOLL on her. Which is crazy because she was already in a terrible environment in the beginning of the show!

#also theres the whole “Adora loved her in all of these visions” EVEN WHEN SHE WAS EVIL SHE LOVED HER AND WANTED THE BEST FOR HER #UGH #SOB #spop #she ra #she-ra #shera #catra
