A season has passed since her phone instructed her to "Seek out all Pokemon," and Kari has found herself in far higher spirits; as she travels Hisui with her father, she thinks she can see a light at the end of this tunnel. It's never occurred to her that it may, in fact, be a set of headlights, growing ever closer.

We're heading into the story's final arc! If you're interested, and haven't read Per Diem yet, I would recommend starting there!

"I'd destroy the world to protect you" but it's a parent/child relationship

[befuddled-calico-whump]

"I hate everyone but I love you more than anything" but it's two best friends

"you're the only one who can bring me back when I lose myself" but it's siblings

Today my professor picked up a garter snake, said “Ow!” five times as it bit him, set it back down, and said, “Okay. That’s one defense mechanism snakes have.”

thinking about how ursula k leguin said "what goes too long unchanged destroys itself. The forest is forever because it dies and dies and so lives" and how everyday i wake up slightly different and i can feel myself shed the skin of who i used to be slowly, slowly, until i look back and can scarcely recognise who i was... but also she is still a part of me, part of the leaf litter and the humus, supporting me as i send new roots down and new leaves stretching up to the sunlight

can not recommend letting your child do a big scream when they are frustrated enough. Just straight up ask them like "hey do you need to do a big scream?" And if they say yes let cover your ears and say okay GO and let them scream because you know what eventually when you're really frustrated your little person with your face is gonna look at you with their ears covered and yell "HEY DO YOU NEED TA DO A BIG SCHREAM?!" and you can just... do a big scream and it won't scare them and you will feel better too

"You don't know me. I'm not the same person anymore."

"That's okay. I'll get to know you again."
