Hi friends. I don't know who's going to see this, but I thought I'd get it out there in one way or another.
Basically, I'm not going write Young Royals fanfic anymore. I know I have a couple unfinished wips (which I do hope to one day finish), but right now writing is starting to feel like a chore and I need a break from it. I'm sorry if you're waiting on dwoht updates or are waiting for your missing moment request to be posted, but I'd rather put it on pause and come back with stories I'm proud of and that you guys will actually enjoy reading.
I'm still in love with yr and wilmon and really hope to get back into it one day, but I don't know when that day will be. I'll still be relatively active on tumblr, so if anyone ever wants to chat my ask is always open.
Hey, doll. I’m sorry things have been so rough for you lately, but I’m here to take care of you now. Put on some comfy clothes and have some warm food if you can manage, baby. I’m here for you…and you can ask me for anything if you ever need. I hope you’re able to take care of yourself the way you need to, and if you can’t, I’ll be here to remind you. I’m even offering up cuddles and tea+a fun movie, if you need.
(I’m here for you, and I mean it. Just let me know if you need to reach out/need someone to lean on and I’ll make sure to be there for you however I can)
Much love,
-🧚🏻
Hey love…!
Awww, thank you… You’re too kind. ♥️ I am taking care of myself, it’s my main priority. I’m actually doing a lot better, still crazy busy, but doing much better!
I really appreciate your offers 🥹🥰 I will make sure to reach out if I need anything. And the same stands for you: I’m here if you ever need anything. All you have to do is reach out and ask 💞💞 Hope you have a lovely day/night, lovely!!
some good news!! the spanish state's ministry of equality has finally passed one of the most progressive trans laws on the planet, shielded free and universal access to abortion and banned conversion therapy and genital surgery for intersex babies, among a lot of other feminist policies. the minister of equality irene montero gave a speech thanking spain's lgtb and trans associations for helping her draft these legislations. couldn't be more proud!!
Best wishes on your journey. I am on medications for mental illness and hope to come off of them forever and to never have any worries or problems ever again
and I wish that for you kind stranger. I am sorry you are going through such a hard time, I hope you’ll find some peace soon.
I don’t think it is realistic to never have any problems ever, but I do think we can learn to dance.
thinking about my great grandparents in romania, raised in a land colonized by the same empire that sent them to the balkans, still working as tailors and butchers like their ancestors had for generations.
thinking about them stowing away on ships to america so their children could live to see adulthood.
thinking about how many other five foot two bookworms have been in my family. i know i’m not the first, and i certainly hope i won’t be the last.
thinking about how many seders my family has held throughout history, how many “next year in jerusalem”s were shouted. it hasn’t happened yet, but maybe it will.
thinking about the women who passed down kabbalah to their children while witches burned in the next village over. how many mothers kept literal magic alive.
thinking about how every single person that lived before me, every branch of my family tree, had to choose to survive. living has always been in the present progressive for Jews; every breath they took was a choice to fight just a little longer.
i come from people who survived the spanish inquisition, the soviet union, the Shoah, the judeo-roman wars, ottoman imperialism, the rise and fall of so many empires i cannot name them all, and the only uniting factor is them. they taught their toddlers the sh’ma and lit candles and read books and sewed clothes and spun linen and cured meat and davened and smiled and laughed and they did that for two thousand years. ten years ago i became the first bat mitzvah in my family line. the first woman in my family to read from the torah.
i hope they’re proud. i hope i was worth it for them.
i don't wanna have any adventures unless they're with you. / i am, and have been for some time, just totally, ridiculously, desperately in love with you.
what I wouldn't pay to see mac punch holes into the walls of the suburbs house as he's tasked with fixing something he doesn't know how to fix and meanwhile the only constant in his mind is how much he misses dennis
It's so strange to be drawing him like this,,,but bdbdjdj💕💕💖💕💖💕
I can't, I'm weak against his charms–
I didn't had time to actually do a full piece like I could like to but this will be to keep my mind at ease (at least until there's more info about this silly croissant)
I love that there's one half of people who think Ridley should be this terrifying dragon demon who antagonizes Samus and moves quicker than lightning and that Dark Samus should be this strange organic being with hardly more than a skull who will stop at nothing to have her dead and then there's the other half with Goth Girl and Pathetic Pterodactyl.
I was thinking about Kate and Milligan (as usual) but specifically about what Kate calls Milligan. Because he's Milligan to her, but that doesn't make him any less her dad, but she doesn't call him Dad, yknow?
How did it go? Was it an unspoken agreement where they just knew and understood the other despite just having met as father and daughter for the first time? Did she just bounce up to him and go "I'm not calling you Dad. You're Milligan and you're going to stay Milligan." and did he reply "Alright, Katie-Cat" without even a twinge of hurt because it's just so right? He just found his daughter, how could he ever be sad about anything ever again?
Or- maybe it wasn't that easy? Maybe she bounced up to him, and everything felt right, but he couldn't help but wonder... and so he went to the one place he always knew he could go when he felt lost. When he presented his troubles to Mr. Benedict - "No, it's going great, but I can't help wondering ... she doesn't want to call me Dad. Which is fine, of course, but ... maybe she doesn't see me in that way?" - when he presented his troubles to Mr. Benedict, how long did he laugh and slump unconscious for, before waking up and apologizing profusely, before helping Milligan sort it all out. (Which really meant sort himself out. Kate had it all figured out, apparently.)
Or- did she try at first? Did she try to press at a puzzle piece that just wouldn't fit? Her dad left. He left a long time ago and she's lived with that her whole life. But - her Milligan is here now. Could he ever understand?
Or- maybe it just slipped out one day, years down the line? When she was teasing him - "Extra coat, Kate, it's brisk out!" / "Da-ad, I'm nearly sixteen, you know, you don't need to-" - did they both freeze? Did she not realize what she'd done until she was halfway down the sidewalk? Did she catch him wiping at his eyes and blowing his nose? Did she tuck that away in her back pocket for later?
