Have A Random Need And Urge To Expand On The Difference (in Loving Terms) Between Being Hugged And Being
have a random need and urge to expand on the difference (in loving terms) between being hugged and being held.
like, to be hugged is a mutual sort of 'I love you', a small or big gesture that implicates a need to be close or have some form of physical contact. it can have different levels of love, whether it's a thing you do with your friends or something that you do with a person you love deeply and romantically, it can mean a lot of things.
for some people, it's a simple gesture that can happen in everyday life, and you don't even think about it.
for others, it's a huge thing, something that you only do with people you really mean it with. it's something that eases you and makes you feel good, like kisses (which I might have to get into another time lol)
but being held is a very different thing, and I've been thinking about it quite a lot recently.
to be held can be a one sided thing, unlike hugs, which are normally two sided, and it's can come off as more than a need for physical contact, it's a need to be loved.
being held is, in my view, also a lot more romantic, or at the very least something you only do with someone you trust a hell of a lot. it's more of a 'letting someone else take care of you' sort of thing, where you've gone back to basic needs and you just need to know you're loved. to hold someone is to protect them or comfort them, less of a simple loving gesture, more of a I've got you.
don't get me wrong, it is one hundred percent something you'd do with someone you love, but if you hold someone it can be a way of showing you love them, less of just showing each other love. like, something that you use to comfort someone and reasurre them that they are loved, something that you might know about yourself, but maybe they're not so sure, which is a whole other page of shit to explain, but yeah.
just, interesting, I think. small gestures that can mean so much to some people, and nothing to others.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYBODYYYYY 💕💕
or happy national singles day, whichever you celebrate 🤷🏻♀️
shout out to the disgustingly cute couples currently taking up all my spare brain space; masonyew, kitty, faramer and about seventy other folks I ship :D
love y'all! have a great day!! <333
One thing I will say about Cassandra Clare and early Shadowhunters stuff is she stood on business ten toes down when it came to her villains. No lame nature vs. nurture debates, no last minute cop out redemption arcs for the YA audience, just demon incest, Victorian Elon musk and demon STDs that turn you into an evil worm. 10/10 no notes.
Lee: You treat an outside wound with rubbing alcohol. You treat an inside wound with drinking alcohol.
Travis:It's this cause Luke called you crying again?
Lee: He's upset he lost custody of Chris. Gods, Iris needs to add a block feature.
Michael: I still think killing him's easier, but hey, he's your ex.
bitches be like “oh i love the pjo series!” then only ramble on about the minor characters and ignore what is written in cannon
its me i’m bitches
I just wanted to come here to tell you how much I love all your fics. Like it started with chb before depression and that got me absolutely obsessed with Michael x Jake and now I’ve already read ‘get me out of here (I might just take you with me)’ twice and ‘it all started in the laundry room (I’m just the same as you)’ three times even though it’s over 100k and I regularly get the urge to reread it again because it’s just so good (the only reason I don’t is because I know I will binge it and I have school stuff to do right now but it’s only a matter of time until I read it for the fourth time). Really I’m just obsessed with how you write them and your writing in general. Like they are so soft and you somehow manage to find the exact balance between angst and fluff that I love. I am also absolutely obsessed with Em, she is canon to me now. So is Michael having survived the fall from the bridge, cabin 7 needs some happiness
you have no idea how happy this message made me, oh my god I was not expecting that when I checked my inbox this morning and just-
argghggghggggh :D :D
you have just put me on a sugar high for the whole day THANK YOU that is so sweet and honestly it means so much to me that you've read those works and you like them and that you appreciate my weird style of writing, they have such a lot of chemistry that I can cook up, and I'm never quite sure how it will end up but to hear that you like it is all I need :) <333
I'm kinda lost for words rn, not sure how to convey how absolutely buzzing I am from this :D
also it makes me so happy to hear you like Em, she has always been canon to me and she's by far my fav oc so it make me SO HAPPY to hear you like her!
and Michael living has never even been a question to me, in fact, I am about seven paragraphs away from posting a third part to 'screw canon happy endings rule' that he and Jake are quite present in so this is just adding to my excitement about that too omg I think I'm actually high off this comment :D
xD giggling and kicking my feet right now THANK YOU AGAIN ARGH <333
The sillies hdgdg
What's going on when Lee,Beckendorf and Silena are in a meeting hdgdg
me writing an 80k+ word fic about Cabin 7 and exploring the lives of Michael Yew and Lee Fletcher, who are both practically nonexistent in pjo: light work
me writing a discussion post in college about the main character of a book: oh shit guys I don't think I'm built for this kind of pressure, 500 works is too many words
Side charaters>>>>
are fucking awesome
better than the main ones in almost every scenario
(particularly Apollo cabin ones)
(no I'm totally not biased)
Thinking about Charles and Lee being the two Jake and Michael first come out to and just how much fun they're having as big brothers hdhdg
Lee teases Michael for sure when Michael first realized he had a crush. Michael was confused over the feelings in his chest that felt like heart palpitations and was trying to figure out what was wrong. And Lee just immediately put two and two together the more Michael described how he was feeling. Playfully teased Michael about having a crush and him being dramatic about it.
Though, I'm thinking Jake's coming out/admitting about his crush to Charles is a lot more serious. Because Jake realizes more easily he has a crush, but he's processing that he has a crush on another boy.
And Charles comforts him about it of course.
"We're not machines,Jake. A difference in us from what we think is the norm isn't a malfunction in design. It's just who we are. If you like this boy, then you like him. Doesn't make you broken."
Yes I've been thinking about that line since last night when I first thought of it. And Yes I nearly made myself cry from it.
Both brothers are biggest supporters and og Sunforge shippers 100%
They cover for the two why they're sneaking out on dates, listen to them ramble about the other,etc.
After Lee dies,Charles practically becomes a big brother to Michael. Helping him get his footing as a head counselor and such.
Loosing Charles was like loosing another big brother to Michael.
