Since I have been here I have written to him once,—one sad, long, weary letter. Since that I am constrained to leave his letters unanswered.

I still miss you.

Dear Gabe,

Do I still say dad? I don't even know. Bella still asks about you. Not as often but she does. She misses you still. I show her old pictures and we still talk about you. You really did make a damn good impression on that little girl. Hell, what am I saying. Up until the very end you made one on me too. I think that's what broke my heart the most. The truth is I still wake up sometimes and I want to go find you because I miss you. I miss our talks. I miss watching you with Bella. I miss it all. I remember one night I was sitting up because I couldn't sleep and I was pregnant with Bella. I was staring out the window and I was thanking god for you. I knew that if I wasn't here in New York with you I wouldn't have been happy. I knew that finding you those years ago saved my life.

Do I miss Nancy Scott? Hell no I don't. She put me through hell for fifteen years. You really did save me from her and her husband. You made my life in New York and beyond possible and I can't thank you enough for that. I've been through so much that you don't know about. Yeah I moved to California. You probably know that much. California was definitely good for my career. California sent me to London for a while and London was wonderful but the truth was I missed New York. With that being said I'm home. I'm in the house I had before. It's hard not to miss you here because you're everywhere but this is home. I not only miss you but I miss the menagerie of animals. I miss all the little things too. You've missed a relationship or two in my life.

Da--Gabe.. Bella's so big and she's starting school this year. You've missed so much in her life and in mine and it sucks. When I got here just before my sixteenth birthday I thought it was forever. It felt like forever. I had the family I had dreamed of. You were taken from me so young and then you took yourself from me but from Bella. She's old enough to really understand holidays now and it's the cutest thing. You know every Christmas she still gets you a gift in case she gets to see you again. Or she'll make you a card or something for Father's day because you made such an impact on her small life. I don't stop her because it's something she wants to do. I don't stop her because you still mean so much to her. You still mean so much to both of us.

Oh and.. You missed another milestone. Bella's going to be a big sister. It's still early and she will be finding out soon but yeah another baby is on the way. And because of me and because of your strong willed granddaughter this baby will know about you too. I know you probably won't ever see this but thank you for saving me. Thank you for being here for me while you were. I still miss you. I still love you.. I hope you're doing well for yourself. Maybe one day we'll cross paths again.

xo, Cordelia Monroe James.

shoot

ive been making tremendous progress recently in getting over you. haven't checked any socials at all and less and less things are reminding me of you. i don't feel like i am still trapped in that cage of grief and despair the way i did a month ago. i don't think about the end of me every day like before. i am in treatment and spending time with friends and trying to treat myself with patience and kindness (admittedly not the easiest task).

since you left literally everything physical in my life has been ripped away from me. maybe this has all been part of something greater, part of the cycle of death and rebirth. clearing away the old to make room for the new.

i do know though that it isn't recency bias coloring my judgement of our past (who knows if that was ever meant for me and either way i don't want you to know how it stung when i saw).

i know i loved you more purely and devotedly than anyone before. you were beloved by me- that is the truth of it, regardless of whether you were ever even truthful at all. you treated me like absolute shit though, yknow? most of that entire time i was chasing whatever stale crumbs you'd give. i will never ever beg for someone's love and time again the way i wordlessly did with you over and over.

last easter you met my dad and sisters and sort-of one of my nieces which is probably somewhat why i am thinking of this today. i've only had one person over ~officially like that before, and i would almost say that other time didn't count since i was living with my parents back then.

anyways, i thought you would stick around otherwise i'd never invited you there to the heart of my trauma, but now i do know it's for the best you didn't stay. i deserve so much more love than you are even capable of giving. i care so much and i'm kind and smart and i try so, so hard to be good and most of the time i think i'm achieving that.

so yeah, idk. goodbye i guess? lmao. for today anyways. one day at a time and all that. but it does seem like a good day to once again be the phoenix rising from the ashes (hey that's me)

#personal #inspired by listening to the black parade album in the shower today #lol #dear diary....#dear john letter #kind of

Tumblr Book Clubs I am Currently Following, in order of how hard I think they would be to catch up on if you wanted to join the fun:

Around the World Hourly (Around the World in Eighty Days with entries sent according to the in-story hour of events, started Oct 2)

The Public Domain Book Club (started Frankenstein for the month of October on Oct 1)

Lord of the Rings Newsletter (started late September with some very long posts, but will be variable length as they follow the dates of events in the story)

Dracula Daily via Re:Dracula (chronological Dracula by Bram Stoker - OK, you've missed most of this one, but the audio format is very engaging - you could still catch up for the exciting conclusion!)

My Dear Wormwood (The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis - 22 short letters so far, posted on a weekly basis)

What Manner of Man (original vampire romance by St John Starling - 24 shortish and very fun chapters so far, posted on a weekly basis)

Whale Weekly (Moby Dick by Herman Melville with roughly chronological timescale - we're 70-some chapters in but there are often long breaks between them so you could probably catch up)

Les Mis Letters (a chapter of Les Miserables by Victor Hugo every day for a year - catch-up difficulty level: impossible)

Please add your own!

So it’s come to my attention that Mary probably won’t be in S2 which, bummer.

But I hope she can at least have some passing good mention, or some indication that she and Stede are on speaking terms.

First of all, no matter what they think of each other, they still have kids, and I would hope that Stede would want to be at the very least aware of what was going on in their lives, even if he isn’t really their father figure anymore.

But I also think that Mary and Stede could be really good friends regardless, especially since that pressure of being in a marriage that neither of them wanted and neither of them enjoyed is gone. You can see a glimpse of that camaraderie toward the end of episode ten (the conversation about love, and the whole faking his death thing.)

She could easily send him letters using some sort of pseudonym or another form of don’t-reveal-my-ex-husband-isn’t-actually-dead deception. They could gossip together.

I just think they could have a really strong bond when there are no expectations put on them.

#ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd season 2 #ofmd s2 #stede bonnet #mary bonnet #how does Stede get letters out on the ocean?#Olu wears crocs and Stede says the word ‘vibe’ in the 1700s #they let stranger things slide 😭#super secret tag bonus scenario #Ed meets Mary and right before she sends him out the door to go get gay married #she hands him a fistful of letters and is like #‘when you see him you give him these!’ and he thinks it’s a Dear John thing #but it’s actually just a ton of gossip she heard in her Widow Group #anyways Evelyn and Mary endgame 💖#Doug can share

I trust you may be happier without a wife, than ever you have been with me. I have felt almost daily since we were married that you were a man who would have been happier without a wife than with one.

MY DEAR FRIEND,

Greetings once again. I hope that you are taking good care of yourself. You will make sure that you pause from time to time in your work, won’t you? Forgive me if I sound as though I am fussing - I consider it my duty as a friend and physician to give such reminders once in a while.

No doubt you wish to hear more about the events of the ‘Noble Bachelor.’..

Listen... I know I'm a sappy mf at the best of times but I just

#MY DEAR FRIEND DR JOHN WATSON #shoutout to whomever is writing these email intros because its just....nice #because they really are making the format work so nicely #letters from watson

Me reading fics where Tuvok encourages other peoples’ romantic pursuits:

#If Janeway came to Tuvok like 'I have feelings for Chakotay Tuvok and it's tearing me apart' he'd be like 'I understand completely. What you #have to do is completely eradicate those feelings.'#I think if Janeway came to Tuvok (pre that Episode where she gets a Dear John letter) and told him about how much she felt for Chakotay #Tuvok would be like 'hmm.........what about Mark =_=' and it'd send her into a spiral #Given that BOTH Janeway & Tuvok have said in canon that they pretty much consider holosex cheating (this is implied not to be a commonly #held view and I get how others would see it more like consuming porn)#I think Tuvok would 10000% made a comment to Janeway that's like 'wow I just never thought you of all people......well. I suppose that's #humanity for you.' and Janeway would run out of there so fast after being like You're A bso lutely Right Tuvok Tha nk You.#What do you do when your best friend and moral compass doesn't agree with you pursuing a torrid love affair with your first officer?#And when ppl have Tuvok BRING it UP to Janeway?? Specifically to encourage her to go for it?? Could not disagree more #If he's bringing it up ?? In MY mind it's to be like 'cool it with the workplace flirtation. you were on the bridge. Junior officers could #see you.'#and if it was anyone BUT Janeway I think he'd just be like 'I don't need to hear about this....if you don't want to eliminate all your #emotions I don't know what to tell you.'#Bonus: After Janeway gets that dear John letter and Mark's confirmed off the table Tuvok is still unhelpful #'I just don't know what to say to him...!'#'Why not just say you want to be in romantic relationship?'#'It's not that simple!'#Tuvok: (vaguely irritated and losing interest) 'Clearly.'#BUT...bonus for if you're Janeway and no one else....if you come to him with a complaint about your relationship there's a 98% chance he's #going to agree with you and say the other person was being unreasonable #Chakotay & Janeway: -get in argument-#Janeway: WELL. Let's see what Tuvok has to say.#Chakotay: DON'T call Tu-#Tuvok: (before he's even fully in the door) I have to agree with the Captain v_v #this is just my opinion of course...I know why he's used so much - bc he's Janeway's friend and the only high ranking person besides #Chakotay (who she of course is being paired with) who she would consider talking about her romantic life with #so even though Tom/Harry/B'Elanna are much better candidates to fill that role of eager-to-talk-about-romance they can't be used #so basically Tuvok's the only one left and thus is a bit ooc (in my opinion) such is the tragedy of Voyager #I only have such an opinion on this bc to get Tuvok content I must skim through many chakotay/janeway fics to discover he has four lines

I said this in the tags of another post, but I do wonder if someone is, er, distraught and slighted about an upcoming release because they genuinely didn’t think Taylor would reveal some of these things, because they knew better than anyone how painful things had been in the past for her to process and that she kept some of that under wraps for so long out of self-preservation. (Which is why songs like Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve, YOYOK, High Infidelity, etc. Were so shocking, because they touched subjects she previously kept a lid on or stated were too difficult to talk about.)

So they perhaps assumed that even in the event of a breakup, the really painful stuff would stay locked away in a metaphorical vault as well, or stay shrouded in metaphor. But they were, er, taken by surprise by the fact that a) she’s ripped the bandaid off (first on Midnights and then on tour and now with ~everything~ in her life e.g. publicly calling people out in interviews/going after DM and other gossip/etc.) b) done so so soon and c) done so so publicly (e.g. huge publicity campaign instead of a surprise album drop). Which is why their team is scrambling to put together a counter-narrative because the self-protection they counted on on her part and perhaps had even weaponized in recent years is potentially giving way to a public confessional…

#i just keep thinking about wcs #and how she said that for years after speak now she couldn’t play dear john because it was too painful #and then surprise! midnights has a song that deep dives into that trauma and aftermath #just like she’s skirted around the eating disorder and other stuff in the past #but made a direct reference in yoyok #the calvin/tom/joe stuff in high infidelity etc #joe had to have known that at one point she’d start writing about the breakup and such #but I feel like he either a) doesn’t realize how bad things really were or #b) knows exactly how bad things really were and that there will be an inevitable flogging for awhile #honestly if his team were smart they’d either ignore it completely because it will die down in a few weeks like it did for Jake #or lean into the ‘bad boy’ image and see if it can give his public image a little more rizz 🥴#but this ‘uwu poor white man’s feelings are hurt by his songwriter girlfriend writing songs about him’ shtick isn’t it #writing letters addressed to the fire

“Sherlock Holmes had listened to this long narrative with an intentness which showed me that his interest was keenly aroused. His face was as impassive as ever, but his lids had drooped more heavily over his eyes, and his smoke had curled up more thickly from his pipe to emphasize each curious episode in the doctor's tale. As our visitor concluded, Holmes sprang up without a word, handed me my hat, picked his own from the table, and followed Dr. Trevelyan to the door.”

There is so much to be said on this passage and how Holmes acts when thinking. He just vibes with brain noise, and realizes the words are over, so immediately begins actions while still silently in brain noise. Nonverbal thinking Holmes is something that can be so personally delightful.
