Ready for Real Talk? Married Folks Spill the Tea on Marriage Myths

Marriage myth-busting! 💍 Older couples get real about the truths they wish they knew younger. Should these be talked about more? #marriage #relationships #realtalk #fiercemillennial #connect&thrive

Married life isn’t always sunshine and roses. Seasoned couples share the hard truths about relationships that need to be discussed more openly. Sometimes, we get so caught up in the fairytale wedding, the Pinterest-worthy reception, and the #RelationshipGoals social media posts that it’s easy to forget that marriage is hard work. No matter how in love you are, long-term relationships come with…

It’s easier with people around you. To make you feel more like you.

#critical role #ygifs #cr2 #yasha #honestly what's the point in gifs when your heart can’t wrench from the crack in her voice #anger is an emotion I know how to deal with because thats where I live just. just. completely. #the way that grief is the soil of rage will never not be with me #yasha not being present for the majority and yet her entire character arc and growth being so powerful and purposeful I just #their love never leaving her even when she was lost and their love embracing her back just as fiercely #loss and grief and guilt and loneliness and rage and c2 really said we will keep you still and your hair will grow white again

she was killing. she was dying. she was rotting. she was ripening. she was loving. she was losing. she was a woman. she was a girl. she was Karna Solara.

congrats to Aabria @quiddie Iyengar for making me sob and draw at 2 am

#dimension 20 #d20 #the ravening war #karna solara #something about living so fiercely and dying with a soft breath #the same tongue used to bite and gnash leaves sweet kisses on its deathbed #she was already dead when she was disposed of #she died with blood and rage and viscera and a love note #anyways aabria did you have to rip out my heart? was it personal? #the almost found family hurt me the most you know #how dare you turn my favorite trope against me please never stop

I know that your specialty is making fucked up lil guys who get more fucked up (which is awesome!). I was wondering if you ever like to write “healing journeys” (that May or may not include murder), or if you exclusively like making OCs worse (which is a vibe!).

I used to only write characters only “getting better” as how society might define it, but I am starting to branch out into doomed narrative/getting fucked up/no way back narratives. Which is terrifying to me with my own traumas/fears. You’ve inspired me to explore those uncomfortable places and sit with those feelings. Question why am I having those reactions when no one else is going to see me, and it has no other consequences for my daily life?

So I’m interested what it’s like writing from the other side, so to speak.

Thanks for listening to my rambling! I hope that you have a lovely day! :]

i have plenty of ocs who "get better", actually; recovery and healing is a big part of a lot of my characters' stories despite how bleak and cruel they might seem based on my summaries. however my ocs rarely tend to "get better" in the conventional, socially acceptable sense, like the arcs you mentioned yours used to follow. with my ocs, i like to start from a point of seemingly insurmountable despair, a descent to rock bottom that's already fallen deeper than light can penetrate, and ask myself "how could a person like this ever begin to find meaning and joy in life again?" and work from there. it often gets worse before it gets better, but at their lowest, a lot of my characters finally find what matters to them, and begin to pursue it. they might not be "good victims"; they certainly aren't heroes, or 'good people', or perfectly satisfied with their lot in life and unscarred or unembittered by their experiences. but most of them do find direction, acceptance, love and happiness. sometimes growth and healing means getting to be selfish. getting to be self-indulgent. allowing yourself to live despite it all. my characters are frequently outcasts, trodden underdogs, scrabbling for purchase on the edges of life, but they try to build the best life that they can for themselves, out there in the dark. for some of them, it's the happiest, safest place they can be, unseen and unscrutinized every waking moment of their lives.

#annie for example literally reaches the point of suicidal self loathing before deciding to live. and thats an ESSENTIAL part of his #character because it shapes how fiercely defensive she becomes of her friends and how passionate her will to survive is.

Steve notices when Eddie disappears from the party, almost immediately. Robin and the others are crossfaded and a little weepy, and Steve knows they're excited—and scared. They're all heading out next week, Robin to Chicago, Nancy to New York, Jonathan to California. So they didn't notice it, when Eddie got up for the bathroom and didn't come back.

Steve did. Steve's pretty good at recognizing stuff like that, especially when it's painfully familiar.

He's pretty loud when he crawls through his own bedroom window out onto the roof, loud enough that Eddie startles and drops his cigarette onto the asphalt shingles.

"H-Hey!" he says, all false cheer despite the croak in his voice and the sniffling—the way he wipes quickly at his face.

"Hey," Steve says, going for softness and compassion. God knows he's spent many a night out here crying by himself. He doesn't want Eddie to think he's being a dick about it. "You okay?"

"Yep!" Eddie says, pitched too high and the words crack between his lips. "Totally fine! I'll come down in a bit so—"

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Eddie's teeth clack together when he shuts his mouth, falling into silence as Steve settles down at his side. Neither of them say anything. Faintly, they can hear the murmur of their friends' voices, mixed with the summer night call of forest frogs and bugs. Steve thinks about chasing fireflies in the back yard when he was little, how the dark woods are near impenetrable to Steve now, the boyhood security long stripped from him.

Beside him, Eddie wipes at his face again, his elbow brushing Steve's arm because Steve's sat himself so close. Steve, carefully not thinking about it, leans over—further and further—until his head hits Eddie's shoulder.

The sound Eddie makes is soft and broken, so Steve tucks himself even closer into Eddie's side, arm going around his back, and closes his eyes just so he could overwhelm himself with the warmth radiating from Eddie, the smell of soap and sweat and weed, the feel of Eddie's hair on his head when Eddie bows his head as he cries, hair long and curtaining the two of them—Eddie keeping Steve, pulling him in to witness his private grief.

#steddie #pre-steddie #dribble drabble #the inherent intimacy of crying in front of a friend (your crush) #this isn't much but i couldn't get this lil image out of my head #this probably lives in the same universe as the 5 minute break up drabble i posted last week #where eddie in fact got expelled spring 86 and is trying to get a GED #and he has NEVER thought about going to college but it still stings something fierce to see the others going off #and he's also so sad robin and nancy are gone #and he's scared of being alone with his big gay crush on steve with no buffers anymore LMAO #shush mal

MANGA SPOILERS!

The way dunmeshi gave us a fight with lethal rabbits where marcille had to necromance her friends and the dead rabbits and showed it in their usual silly way and then hit us with marcille surrounded by the bodies of her team having to face her worst fear once again left alone in a sea of death a constant reminded of what her future is supposed to be.

#she is so desperately afraid of being left alone #the curse of living longer than anyone she will ever love bc of being an half elf #she breaks my heart #she is so silly and then you see how terrified she is #also the fact that even though she IS scared of losing her loved ones to time she still inevitably loves so much #she doesn't refuse to care to protect her heart #she keeps loving so fiercely she is ready to break rules to bring her people back and keep them safe #and she tirelessly fights to achieve her dream bc she loves so deeply #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #dunmeshi #marcille donato #dunmeshi spoilers
