[chiseikumo]

tried something new and included pose scribbles which I usually only keep in my sketchbooks. 

references are from the video of the acoustic version of "Secondhand Heartbreak" from No Love For The Middle Child's latest EP "Losing Feeling". still having all of that very much on repeat.

This mini was fun! This is "Secondhand Heartbreak" by No Love For The Middle Child as I see it because of synesthesia!

And I think the most dangerous thing of all,

Is when you start lying to yourself.

Madness is watching someone you dearly love

Someone who rescued you from grief

heartache

despair

become the very thing that broke you.

I am sitting in a coffee shop. I’ve been here for three hours. There is the amazing smell of coffee, I’m working on drinking my second cup, and I have headphones in playing really good writing music. This should be perfect right? I should be getting all the words out like I always can do here?

You’d be wrong. I can’t stop thinking about my sister. Her fiancé broke up with her out of the blue last week. Just, heh, not feelin it anymore. Like what the literal fuck is that... See, I quit dating because I was tired of all of it. I never wanted to go through the heartbreak thing again, right? Like your best friend ripping your heart out kinda makes you hate the idea of love. Yet here I am, in one of my favorite places, doing one of my favorite things, but I can’t because I am experiencing second hand heartbreak. ***angry screeching*** like, right now I kinda want to just kill off all my straight male characters cuz I’m pissed, but that is probably bad and I shouldn’t do that. The only thing I’ve been able to accomplish today is some minor edits and posting a short bit of a previous days writing...

No no no no no! Why why why why why! Poor president :( This is what I get for [always] shipping the second lead with the main one.

Sometimes, secondhand heartbreak hurts more, lasts longer, if only because the fear festers a little deeper, like a small scratch on a record that grows larger in time. You don't want that heartbreak for yourself, so you hide. You hide yourself under so many layers that you can't break free, because it's the prison that you've put yourself in.

You're so scared of what's outside in the wild, that you don't bother to fear for what's inside, for what you've done to yourself.

I enjoyed this, though it was horrible to see all the people being horrid to one another and such. This isn't a happy read, but it's good, touching on some sensitive topics whilst being entertaining and rather funny at the same time. The only problem I had with it is that it might have made a good series, but it's short and sweet and really quite good.
