i think the reason why i’m not a huge fan of most soulmate aus (especially the ones where a character’s soulmate is marked) is the idea of compulsory relationships. of love unfounded in its growth, of love chosen not by lovers but by something else entirely. i love love that is purposeful. love that is essentially [ON PURPOSE, ON PURPOSE I AM GOING TO CARE ABOUT YOU] [of course i wonder if they love me back, which is, really, besides the point. i don’t do it to be adored, i do it because my love keeps getting bigger and that’s what happens] [just let me have that. you can have bill, or the world, or whatever you need. just let me have that, let me go on loving you, and i guess it’ll be enough] [i love everybody because i love you] but also [the idea of love as a violent act—not to the person that you love, but against the world. to say to somebody, ‘I love you; by extension, i hate all other things] [if soulmates do exist, they’re not found. they’re made] [i’d choose you; in a hundred different lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, i’d find you and i’d choose you] and lingering touches and half-formed hopes and unknowns and a love that grows not one that is just there. love that is content with just being. love that is a big ‘fuck you’ to the universe because it says ‘you could’ve killed me but you didn’t and i could’ve starved myself from this but i didn’t and i could’ve broken but i didn’t and i’m here and i think this person is everything and they think i’m everything and it hurts so much to think about how much i care for them but i couldn’t care less. i’m going to be gentle in the face of horrors, i’m going to be gentle in loving them not because you told me to but because i chose to.’
They say life is a circle …

I love you also in the most mundane ways
I love the dirty dishes in your kitchen and love the fresh sheets that you put on your bed for me
I love the mess in your apartment, love sitting next to you in silence as you do work and I just write
I love the hearts you form on public transport, first with two fingers then with both your hands as our eyes meet
and here we lie in dusky grey as outside fog devours the city whole
and I sink back to dreams of lavender and forests green
here in your bed there is no wider world that we’d be weary of or wary of
No, all there is is you and me
and when I wake again I catalogue
the 5 years worth of letters that I sent you
that you kept stored below your desk
and it’s been years since I held the lot of them
they feel like eldest documents of times long past
and at the same time I feel no less fond of you
I think the words have changed yet never did the meaning
and silent lies outside your window
a city of two million souls and more
and in here sit we silently as well
as there’s no words we’d have to speak right now
I love you also in the most mundane ways
I love the way you’ve kept the tea I gave you
and how it collects dust
you’d drink it when you miss me most
it seems that day is yet to come
You’ve never been a mind of many spoken words, and maybe you merely forgot the tea
but quietly I think: is this your way to say „each coming day I’ll love you more“?
female villains: when i was little i was taught that women only existed to serve, to be a wife we are considered weak, innocent, stupid creatures well not anymore if you see me as the monster of this story then i am the monster of this story
male villians: ugh my gf dumped me and called me a loser now i’m killing people to cope
Two witches are forced to cohabitate in order to raise the baby promised to both of them.
This comic was based on this post. (You can also see my old version on the link if you wanna see how far it's come.)
If you feel very generous and had a nice time you can drop me a Ko-fi. Comics are a labor of love and money really helps out while I'm in school!
