and by the way i fucking deserved better. you came back with your hand held out and asked me to love you again like i was a fool, like you knew i wanted you to do but you forgot friendship is a two way street and i loved you deeper than you loved yourself. i heard myself in your words and i knew the answer before you asked the question because i spent a year grieving and a year growing and another two years healing and three more years forgetting and you sent me a message asking me to forgive you as if i already hadn't done so. you asked to try again and i almost became the fool that did it because once upon a time we were best friends then we weren't and i cried at night wishing you'd come crawling back to say those words to me again. and i thought of all the ways i could tear you apart with my teeth before carefully mending you back together with my sparkly glue and my shaky sowing needle.
but in reality i knew if i let you in again that i could forgive you but i'd never be able to forgive myself. i'd be looking into the past and spitting into the face of the kid who gave up everything he felt about you to become me and i needed to let you go like the sand between my cupped hands. the ocean cleans away the grit and leaves seashells in them. its a reminder that there are still things to find and cherish. i deserve to love the world and you will not be a part of it. i am not sorry for that.

What being Sarek’s Favorite Child Does to a Motherfucker
AKA: Mutiny Specialist
[Comic One Transcript]
Michael looks off to the side as she speaks with Spock. They are both children. It is implied that Spock has asked Michael to tell Amanda she loves her.
M: Why don't you just tell Amanda you love her? Instead of trying to live vicariously through my humanity.
Spock appears flustered, caught off guard by the accusation.
S: That's not-! I am simply...
You are the only one who can do it, Michael! You are the only one and yet you will not- you will...not...n-not...
Michael’s gaze stalls Spock’s tongue. Her expression is impassive with a hint of distain. Real or perceived? Her control is iron clad, unlike her Vulcan brother’s.
Spock stops speaking, intimidated and suddenly self-conscious. He has seen this look before.
S: Those eyes...the eyes of Vulcan.
[Comic Two Transcript]
An adult Michael looks tired and disgruntled, vaguely annoyed. She has wrapped a ratty blanket around herself and she is speaking to Spock, ostensibly out of view.
M: Spock, I could have spent every second of our childhoods telling Amanda how much I loved her. Seeking out and receiving hugs, kisses and praise.
It would still never have been enough for you.
You would still resent me.
Because it was never about me and my (real or imagined) distance from Amanda. It was about yours.
Michael pulls the blanket tighter around her. She looks remorseful. Her previously iron clad control has softened to a circle.
M: ...And I am sorry. I'm sorry you could never say you loved her. None of us could, in the end...I wish I could have said it for you. I wish I could have held her for you. But I think you would have only hated me more if I did.

Me, watching any media with Real-Life Actors: "Ugh, of COURSE the Main Couple gets together with zero chemistry, build-up, or tension besides some Bullshit Miscommunication for the sake of the third act's climax 🙄 Where's the Slow Burn??? Where's the Pining??? That Jane Austen Levels of Unrequited Angst and Longing Until the Sweet Release of Inevitable--"
Also me, watching virtually anything animated or reading manga: "Insta-Love Drama go BRRRRR 😍"

I suddenly wanted to listen to this song for the first time in ages, and it took on a whole new meaning for me. The members and I were 12-14 when the song came out, and in our teens/twenties last I listened to it. So much has happened for all of us between now and then. They've moved on to individual careers and lives– half are married, several are mothers, and I've moved to Japan and back. I'm struck yet again by just how amazing it was to have grown up together with Berryz. In honor of that, here's a translation.
I saw a movie
That made me think
I guess I'll start a diary
Somehow or other
I've kept it up for two years
It's unexpectedly
Pretty fun
I've decided
I won't reread it
At least until I graduate
I wonder if someday
When I'm grown up
I'll reread it
And cry?
I wanna have a youth
That I won't regret
But also
I won't write any lies
It's fine if it's a mess
As long as it's honest
I got a fountain pen
So I wanna try
Being a little
More grown up
But I guess
It's not like what I write
Will grow up just like that
The new kid in class
Seems kinda like a bad boy
I'm interested
But that doesn't mean I like him
One morning when I'm a grown up
I'll drink strong coffee
In one gulp
I'm never gonna stop
Laughing happily
And I wanna hang out
With my amazing friends
I'll write it in my diary
The name of the person I like
I'm never gonna stop
Laughing happily
And I wanna hang out
With my amazing friends
I'll write it in my diary
The name of the person I like
