So real
Idk who needs to hear this but a parent defending or “staying out of” the abusive actions of the other parent is abuse in its own right. Yes I am also referring to emotional or verbal abuse.
WHEN IT HURTS TO ADMIT IT Prompts
⟡ “I don’t know when I stopped feeling like myself, but I know it wasn’t all at once.”
⟡ “I keep waiting to miss this life more than I hate it.”
⟡ “I don’t even know if I’m sad or just tired of pretending I’m not.”
⟡ “You ever wake up and realize you’re living a life you didn’t mean to choose?”
⟡ “I don’t hate you. I just don’t recognize who I am around you anymore.”
⟡ “I thought if I ignored it long enough, it would go away. It didn’t.”
⟡ “I’m not asking you to fix it. I just need you to stop telling me it’s fine.”
⟡ “I keep telling myself this is enough, but it never sounds convincing.”
⟡ “I don’t know what I want, I just know this isn’t it.”
⟡ “I’m scared that if I stop, everything I’ve been holding together will fall apart.”
⟡ “I don’t want to leave. I just don’t want to stay like this.”
⟡ “I don’t feel brave. I feel cornered.”
⟡ “Every time I say I’m okay, something in me flinches.”
⟡ “I don’t know how to explain this without sounding ungrateful.”
⟡ “I keep thinking there has to be more than just getting through the day.”
⟡ “I don’t trust myself to make a decision because what if I regret all of them?”
⟡ “I don’t know who I’d be if I wasn’t needed all the time.”
⟡ “I thought being strong would feel different than this.”
⟡ “I don’t want to disappear. I just want the noise to stop.”
⟡ “I don’t know how to ask for help without feeling like I failed.”
⟡ “I keep hoping something will force my hand so I don’t have to choose.”
⟡ “I don’t know how to leave without hurting someone.”
⟡ “I don’t want to be the reason everything changes.”
⟡ “I don’t know if I’m scared of losing this or scared of keeping it.”
⟡ “I feel like I’m watching my own life instead of living it.”
⟡ “I don’t know how much longer I can carry this and still call it living.”
⟡ “I keep thinking tomorrow I’ll feel different. Tomorrow keeps showing up the same.”
⟡ “I don’t know if I’m asking for permission or forgiveness.”
types of hugs
❥ sinking into each other: melting until there is not an inch of space between them
❥ in bed: falling asleep with arms and legs intertwined, choking on hair, drowning in their scent, limbs losing cirulation, uncomfortably warm, and still pulling closer
❥ standing up: burying face in the other's shoulder or chest, arms around their ribcage, leaning against them
❥ arms around their neck: burying face in the crook of their neck, pulling them closer
❥ lift up: hugging with wind up, being lifted into the air, legs flailing, surprised laughter, spinning in place, pressed tightly into the other's chest
❥ side hug: walking side to side, head restig on their shoulder, swaying with every step, still twisting heads to look at each other
❥ unexpected: arms around the other, pinning their arms to their chest, and squeezing them tight
❥ from behind: seeing how they look together, pressing kisses on the side of their neck, eyes meeting in the mirror
❥ piggyback: jumping on their back, wrapping arms around their shoulder, cheek kisses, tugging hair, throwing on bed to get them off
❥ tickles: catching them from behind and tickling them, squealing, twisting and turning, getting the tables turned on them
[Prompt Calender: December 3rd, Let's Hug Day]
i’m always thinking about that news story where a three year old boy who wandered away from his house and ended up in the middle of the woods was found by this local great pyrenees farm dog who herded the kid back to his unrelated owners house. and the guy was like. whose kid is this
that dog must have been like. hmm. this isn’t a goat. some human must have left their puppy behind by accident. i have to bring this to management. surely my owner will be able to sort out whatever has occurred. that kid was like i’m all alone and scared and omg a big fluffy puppy is here to help. and that fucking farmer looking at his dog like. who’s toddler did you steal???
this post is gaining traction so i’m adding the article and my favorite part of it. also the dogs name is buford….
The two-year-old boy had wandered away from home on Monday evening and spent the night alone nearly seven miles from his home.
Soft Prompts to Make You YEARN PART TWO
✭ the way they tuck a strand of your hair behind your ear like it’s instinct, like they didn’t even realize their hand moved until it was already touching you.
✭ sitting together on the floor while rain taps the windows, and they lean their head against your shoulder just to “rest for a second”… but they don’t move again.
✭ them offering you their scarf and wrapping it around you themselves, fingers brushing your neck a little too gently for “just keeping you warm.”
✭ you reaching for something at the same time, fingers colliding, both of you freezing like you accidentally triggered a spell.
✭ “hold still,” they whisper, fixing your necklace or brushing something off your face with such focus it feels like prayer.
✭ walking side-by-side, your hands swing just close enough to graze every few steps, until one of you finally, quietly, hooks a pinky around the other’s.
✭ the soft exhale they let out when you laugh. like they’d been holding their breath the whole time without noticing.
✭ them draping a blanket around your shoulders from behind, not saying anything, just lingering a second longer than necessary.
✭ sitting knees-to-knees while they teach you something with their hands, guiding yours gently, slowly, like the whole world is balanced between your palms.
Dreaming led to disappointment, and disappointment to a kind of depressed funk that wasn't easy to shake. Better to stay in the gray than get eaten by the dark.

people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.
shoutout to my favorite fictional characters, favorite people, favorite ships, favorite movies, favorite tv shows, fanfics and archive of our own
To my readers:
If your comment is long and rambling and full of quotes you enjoyed, I will love it.
If your comment is full of story related questions, I will love it.
If your comment is a single sentence, I will love it.
If your comment is a single emoji, or a string of them, I will love it.
If you comment, I will love it. It's that simple.
I really don't understand how "without getting kudos or comments a fanfiction author is going to assume that people who clicked their fic didn't like it" became a controversial take.
I don't know why some people think an author should imagine, or guess that people who click their fic enjoyed it it when nobody is telling them that.
If you're re-reading a fic constantly, or leaving it up in your tab so that it re-loads every day for a hundred days the author is not going to know that unless you tell them. They'd love to hear it. It would make their day.
And if you don't tell them you liked their fic, there's no reason for them to assume you did.
sometimes i re-read the comments under my fic and start to tear up 🥺 because what do you mean you wish this was canon? and you love the original characters? and the mystery? and the romance? and the friendships? how did i get so damn lucky
heartbreak through body language in Men
A drooping posture can convey a sense of defeat and sadness. Keep shoulders slightly slouched, and avoid standing tall or with a straight back.
Facial expressions play a crucial role. A downturned mouth, furrowed brows, and a distant or vacant gaze can all indicate inner turmoil and heartache.
Men often avoid eye contact when they're feeling vulnerable. If you're experiencing heartbreak, you might find yourself looking down or away when speaking to others.
Restlessness can manifest in various forms, such as tapping fingers, bouncing legs, or constantly shifting positions. This indicates inner turmoil and an inability to find peace.
Movements may become slower and less purposeful when someone is experiencing emotional pain. This can include gestures like reaching for objects or adjusting clothing.
Men in heartbreak might withdraw from social interactions or participate less actively in conversations. They may seem physically present but emotionally distant.
Deep, heavy sighs are often involuntary reactions to emotional distress. They signify a release of tension and an underlying sense of sadness.
Heartbreak can drain one's energy. You may notice a decrease in enthusiasm, vitality, and overall liveliness in how you carry yourself and engage with others.
Crossing arms, hunching shoulders forward, or clasping hands in front of the body can create a barrier between oneself and others, reflecting emotional guardedness and pain.
Gestures may become less expressive and more restrained. Hand movements may be smaller in scale and less animated compared to usual.
Men react in a variety of ways due to personality, neurodivergence, and culture, so I'm adding some (not specific to body language) behaviors I've witnessed:
nonstop speaking of the thing that harmed them, even when no one is listening; "She's amazing but she doesn't want me" or "my father was an incredible person and he's gone now" to anyone---can last hours to years depending on how heavily they carry the pain
suddenly over-animated, energetic, and needing to do anything that will take their mind off the pain; e.g. high-adrenaline activities, large group activities, drinking alcohol, or making impulsive purchases
re: uncharacteristically energetic; sometimes they become overly flirtatious or friendly when they have been dumped, rejected, fired, etc. It depends partly on their personality beforehand, for example a guy who has never been inclined to flirt and seduce likely will just become extra friendly to strangers (think "I love everyone in this bar!" meme), vs a guy who already was or who normally suppressed being flirty may now double-down
I'm crawling out of the sewer to say it again: don't let anyone stop you from writing what you want to write.
Don't let people saying your writing is too 'self indulgent' stop you.
Don't let people saying your writing is 'not original enough' stop you.
Don't let people saying 'you shouldn't write this' stop you.
Write what compels you.
You don't need anyone's approval for the stories you write and the art you create. But it's also absolutely valid to want some approval from your audience. Kudos and likes don't determine your creation's worth. But it just feels amazing to receive them.
whenever someone’s tired or wants to quit you so often hear “don’t give up!” or “you can get through this!” or “i know you will overcome this!”
but what if i can’t? what then? what if i give up? what happens then? what if i can’t keep going? what if i can’t keep “hanging in there?” tell me, what on earth do i do then? i don’t think i can continue on like this. everything hurts too much. they always have an answer, but what can they say then? am i still worthy of care? am i still worthy of attention, of love? what if i lose this battle? what if i give up? please tell me what happens then? can i bear it? can the world bear it?
AO3 Comments are SO SO SOOOOOOO important because you can only leave Kudos ONCE. You add to the hit count ONCE (every 24 hours).
So whenever someone updates their fic, the ONLY way an author knows who their regular readers are is if they comment on each chapter. And we WANT to know who's still reading.
Believe it or not, some of us think about the name that pops up constantly in the comments and go "omg I can't wait to see what they think of THIS SPECIFIC SCENE cuz I KNOW they'll say something about it!!!"
