"Painful things, sad things, and scary things all go away when you least expect them to. But it's not okay to forget them. I need to remember them, because those emotions are still there inside me. I don't want to end up crying without knowing why. Memories are a burden, and I have to carry my own burden."

I think I'm rather happy with that. I think I'd rather like to give RTD my firstborn in exchange (this is an easy offering as I have none, but the sentiment is there). Yeah, it was contrived as the most contrived fanfic but jesus christ don't we sometimes just need that. Having geared myself up to properly say goodbye to David Tennant's Doctor (fucking again) and then mentally pushed myself to say goodbye with so much episode to go. Like actually thinking 'Allons-y' was just the right piece of fluffy, ridiculous sentimentality to end on...
To be gifted that - both for me and for him and for Donna... well goodness I'll take it. He gets his happy ending for at least a little while. This leaves the door open for so much and I don't even mean him coming back in future episodes, or worlds and worlds of domestic fic, but just for him to be happy, the character to get something he so clearly deserves and needs. So like... yeah I'm utterly pleased with that. I will be able to watch it again and again - the entire three episodes - and not have that sadness in the background. Huzzuh. I needed that too.

Can we kill the whole “no attention on artwork is sad and means it was a waste of time” thing? Like Seriously can we kill it. I put a fuckton of effort into my art and it usually gets like, 10 likes, and that doesn’t really matter to me bc I love making it. I’m grateful for nice comments, but I’m gonna keep making the stuff I make regardless.
Like ok I’m not trying to sound all holier than thou here, but the amount of artists online who say stuff like “this artwork was a flop, so I’m feeling really discouraged” is making me go crazy. Is that all it is for you guys? Content? When you’re making artwork are you just making content for an audience? No offence but I feel like that’s a huge fucking waste of time, way more than making art you like and getting minimal attention on it.

Rewatched the last Fatma scenes some days ago and I can't stop thinking of what would've Mahi told her after she lost her baby & attacked Ayse. Idk I feel sad that such opportunity to see what Mahi thinks of her s1 actions on s3 & how this makes her bond with Fatma was thrown away so easily. Pretty much like her miscarriage was never ever touched again during the series and this was a chance for her mature self to talk about it? Still even when we didn't get to see it, I think the way she wanted to handle Fatma's situation it's admirable and like one of the few cases when a concubine's mental health it's taken into consideration. Maybe that's what she feels would've helped her back on s1 (and she did experience how taking distance stopped her of being absorbed by palace stuff) and that's why she acts like that.

roy + fear
Roy might not originally have intended to use fear and intimidation to get his way, but there’s no denying that he does do that now, when he feels the situations calls for it. He would probably not admit to it if confronted with the fact (well, not until after a while in theraphy with Dr. Sharon at least) but he is very aware of how scary he can be, and will – when it suits him – wield the fear he instills as a tool to achieve his ends. He’s not going to waste time trying to talk some idiot into seeing sense; he’ll threaten to smash his teeth out if he doesn’t stop being a dickhead. Or he’ll just stare and grunt and trust that his reputation precedes him. When confronted with people*, such as Jamie and Ted, who will not be intimidated by him even when he tries to be scary, Roy flunders, because he’s quite used to this strategy working very nicely to him and has not bothered to develop too many other means of persuasion. (And he also hates himself for that, because this is Roy, and hoo boy is this man a mess.) He is getting better at it, though!
*People outside of his family. He would never try to intimidate his sister or Phoebe; he can be as gruff with them as he is with anyone else, but trusts that they’ll always know the real feelings behind his thousand fucks and what-not.

Welp! I’ve un-adopted myself via civil conversation.
I think that’s probably the shortest relationship I’ve ever had, huh. Lessons learned I suppose, don’t just jump at the first chance for a parental figure, even if it’s kind of a joke offered by someone the same age as you.
God I really am just like my Donnie fr, how embarrassing. sad! oh well. I’ve ditched one pair of parents I can do it again
