#sappy things

[divinestrike]

one of my favourite things in the world is casual intimacy. a small hand on your back when you’re in crowded streets. a gentle kick from where they’re sitting across the table. a head on the shoulder, a hand in your hand, a squeeze on the arm as they’re walking past you. and i think maybe love isn’t made up of grand gestures or explosive displays but that it’s made up of the little things. the little things that say i’m here and i care for you and that your life has intertwined so deeply into mine that that there’s no need to think, because casual intimacy comes easy

What’s your favorite memory with CD? Kink or otherwise. Sorry if you’ve already answered this.

Sorry, I forgot about your ask!

I have answered it before but always enjoy nice questions.

I find it so impossible to pick one specific experience that I could definitively label as my favorite memory. There are so many that stand out to me as really special for various reasons. I remember a couple stories of what I've shared when answering this question before though, so I thought I'd attempt to share something that I (hopefully?) haven't shared before.

CD and I have always had these occasional nights where we just talk each others ears off for hours. We were having one of those kinda nights a long time ago. I'd guess we had been dating at least six-ish years or so already at this point? And so we'd had lots of time together to talk about our childhoods and just, get to know each other. But this particular night on one of those really long chatty evenings we were just hanging out in the kitchen talking and somehow the topic of children's books got brought up. And this wasn't the first time we had talked about books we liked as kids or anything. But something was said to the effect of like...it's such an almost-magical experience as a kid to find a book that really triggers your imagination in a unique way. And CD said yeah and brought up Harold And The Purple Crayon and how it was like that for him as a kid, and I couldn't even respond right away because it just made me choke up with emotion because I had the same experience with that book. But when I could I said I had the same experience and seeing me all emotional about it made him kinda tear up, too.

I am not a religious or spiritual person, I don't think having that sort of coincidence means anything super deep...but it was just so cool to realize we had this same childhood experience years before we even knew each other. I think part of it was how...he's always made me feel really deeply understood and accepted, but we didn't know each other as young kids. So it was neat to accidentally discover that at least in one small way, with one particular book, we would have understood each other even younger. And there's just something cool about that, to me.

He feels like home.

Like coming home after a long day, lighting a candle, putting on soft clothes and sinking into the comfort.

He accepts my flaws, my moods, my trauma with grace, with acknowledgement and with understanding of where it stems from even when he is triggered too.

He changed my life during a time when what I knew as life was crumbling. Walked right in and kept me standing when everything else was trying to pull me under.

Something aligned for us to be what we are now and ive never been more grateful to have someone in my life. Through the joy, the pain, the fights, the laughs, the trauma and the healing. He is someone my soul could never live without, now that it knows his.

wait Arthur basically had Merlin court Gwen for him. like, he had Merlin prepare and do everything for him

so when Arthur tries to court Merlin, he doesn’t have that

just imagine how bad he is at it.

he sucks. he’s accident-prone when trying to set up things like candles. he doesn’t know how to put out a picnic to save his life. he picks the wrong food and often times ends up somehow making it inedible. he doesn’t know weeds from flowers. he buys impractical gifts. his idea of romance is so far removed from a commoner’s that he misses the mark by a mile

but Merlin loves Arthur, and finds it sweet how hard he tries to hard to court Merlin. it’s clear how unsure and insecure Arthur is trying to figure these things out, but the fact that he is doing it anyway for Merlin speaks volumes.

and the greatest gift Arthur could give Merlin is himself, in all forms, and especially when Arthur shares his vulnerable moments with Merlin

Simply because I was in Waterloo today and this was the first thing that popped into my mind. Ended my trip west in Sioux Falls for the night which also brings me back to the book 💓

sometimes i think about when my younger self cried “i just want it to get better, tell me it’ll get better” and think “don’t worry, it’s okay, it did. it did and you made it”
