Stop making me feel things. This wasn't very cash money of you.
Good day.
There is one particular ship dynamic that never fails to wreck me, and I’ll call it Soulmates, But Not Like That. Not in a “some higher power has decided that we are destined to be together” way, but something that is almost the opposite of that. It’s that character who has been alone for a long time, and has maybe convinced themselves that they will be alone forever, and who has a lot of barriers to intimacy with most of the people around them, for whatever the relevant narrative reasons are. And then they just happen to cross paths with this ONE FUCKING PERSON who works for them, through some very specific combination of personality and circumstance and life experience and mutually compatible damage. And there is always the shock of what are the fucking odds, and underneath everything the terror of what if this doesn’t last. what if there’s no one else. I would just go back to being alone. I don’t know if I could do that after knowing this. Because when you finally let down that wall of emotional self-sufficiency the thought of having to put it back up again is painful. And in real life I don’t at all believe that there is only One Designated Person for anyone, but in fiction I do tend to gravitate toward characters who believe themselves to be The Only One in some way, and I will always be emotionally compromised by that dawning sense of oh. You are like me.
All of these.

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!
You don't love her. If you did, you'd be with her
Yet you wither
Either wasting time,
Or doing so little
All the years that pass
Filled with moments
That would've should've could've
If only we weren't ourselves
Pathetic

When the Gods came to the Great wolf
Fenrir
He must have thought it just another day
Bright and grand
He must have thought it a game
These were the people who had raised him
And there was Tyr
his friend
They bind him He broke free
He must have rejoiced in his victory
Then the gods came again With different chains
Doubt would have taken hold But he must have ignored it
Bolstering his resolve in his strength thinking
He had nothing to fear
Since Tyr was there
But when the gods
Brought forth the cords
He must have sensed something amiss
This was no game
They wanted something from him
He must have recalled The fleeting hateful stares
But he also must have also remembered
How he played with Tyr
He would not let anything Happen to him
He must have cursed himself
For doubting his friend
For asking for Tyr's hand
But what is done is done he couldn’t go back
And now I sit and wonder
When the wolf couldn't break the cords
Did he pause?
Did Tyr know what would happen?
And offered his flesh regardless?
Or Maybe In guild for what was going to happen to his friend?
What he had caused?
There must have been A moment
When the great wolf pled
Hoping that he would be saved by his friend
Or maybe he wished for Tyr to pull back his hand?
And now I think
That when the wolf bit down
Maybe it wasn't from anger
Maybe it was from sorrow
His friend had made his choice
So maybe he bit
So the blood would hide his tears
Tyr was there
And he had betrayed him
I am here and I am not going anywhere
In life, and in death,
In this life, and the next,
I will stay by your side,
Till the end.
If radiants are mentally ill glow in the dark people (not my term).
Their mental illness should have some impact on their power.
Someone with anxiety will always have their blade at the ready. I can just imagine shardbearers drunk on mix of coffee and Redbull.
Or a person recieve a romantic confession and boom! Sword out. Especially if someone is trained to summon on reflex.
Would someone with high empathy have an easy time soulcasting?
How do you tell someone that the reason
you are happy is because they texted.
It's so embarrassing how even small words from you make me happy.
I feel so helpless.
Huh... just gonna leave it here for no particular reason.
