Open Letter to Dad

I have complex feelings about my dad. He probably did horrible things in his life, but we are all capable of beautiful and horrible things. In some ways, he was like a child. Sometimes, he felt more like a son than a father. Other times, he felt more like a grandfather than a dad. He was from the Silent Generation and I’m a Millennial. Despite the chasm of age and the complexity of emotion I feel, one thing is certain: I loved the man.

In the years after his death, one memory has always haunted me: I’d brought my laptop to his nursing home because I was concerned he had no entertainment there. He was really deep in the dementia at this point. He was so deep in dementia, he had no idea who I was. Still, I knew what he used to enjoy, so I put on a Three Stooges episode for him to watch.

The Three Stooges made him cry. I mean REALLY cry, in a way my dad had never cried before, not even once in his life.

I still ask myself why. Was it just the dementia? Or did he realize he would never be that man again, the man who liked to relax in his cozy bed, laughing at The Three Stooges, while his daughter (me) was in the next room, cooking dinner for him. Looking back, those days feel like a subtle moment of heaven on earth that would never be had again. 

From now on, I’m going to challenge myself to find those moments and fully appreciate them before those moments become memories.

there has been more moments than i can count in the past seven months where i felt destroyed by all the death and carnage i've seen due to the colonialism and imperialism of the world. but there was something in particular about hind's death that made me think the world would stop turning bc how could anything continue given how gruesome and inhumane her death was? and yet, the world did not stop. and i thought we were once again left to remember her story only in our minds as she became another number, as her murderers went on killing unpunished, and as her mother grieved with rage when all she wanted was to keep her daughter warm and as safe as she could manage in this man-made hell on earth.

however, hind, a girl who only got to experience her kindergarten graduation, is now being immortalized in universities across the nation. her story did resonate to the masses and we will not let her be forgotten nor forgive those complicit in her death. real justice would be having hind alive, but these students are showing that they will stop the world and burn the status quo it upholds to the ground if it means her people can truly be liberated.

#any mention of her always makes me bawl like it will forever haunt me how terrified she was yet still believed help was coming #so seeing these kids coordinate specifically to keep her memory alive is just so beautiful and hopeful #seeing the hall of my alma mater where i had my worst physics lab discussion ever changed to her name just broke me lol #may the memory of that building only be of her now <3 #u of m agreed to divest so let's pray this will only lead to more justice for hind and the palestinians! #free palestine

when im in a devastating character that the fans never talk about competition and my opponents are the harlenglish kids

#homestuck #jake english #jade harley #the way hussie uses fire and fireplaces in the crockerbert homes as a loving family memorial that is perceived as welcoming #maybe a tad weird to jane and june #while fire to the harlenglish is a gross haunting memory of something they had to do at too young of an age #think about it everyday

[ID: Digital Trigun Stampede fanart of Vash and Wolfwood cradling each other. Vash is facing the viewer with his face buried in Wolfwood's shoulder, one hand grabbing at Wolfwood's neck and the other grabbing his arm. Wolfwood is facing away from the viewer and is slightly leaned away, one arm wrapping around to Vash's back, but his hand is hovering, not touching. The background is black with white and red confetti-like and petal-like shapes falling around them. ID END] ID CREDIT

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun stampede #petals and confetti do look similar... #ive been seeing a lot of suggestions that vash might lose those memories permanently and considering how he started off amnesiac about july #in trimax it'd make sense... for some reason i have a drilled in part of my brain that the trauma of losing people (specifically rem) #literally in his arms might haunt him forever #if not the memory of it - maybe the instincts of it? #no matter how tightly he holds onto them they could just as easily disappear as they did before. #5.7.23 - thank you gnomebud for the id! #ruporas art

the way can't catch me now could easily be about sejanus too is a stroke of genius on olivia's part. because, in a way, snow was haunted by sejanus. sejanus' death was his final pushing point into cruelty. sejanus was the only good left in him, the only thing holding him to goodness, but the moment coriolanus betrayed him, he was changed. he became snow. he is haunted by sejanus in the jabberjays, the mockingjays, he sees him in katniss, in her stubbornness, in her unwillingness to be easy for others to shallow, in her bravery, in her fierceness. everywhere he looked, he saw sejanus, in the whole rebellion, in the face of his parents who basically adopted snow, in katniss honoring rue's death by surrounding her with flowers the same way sejanus honored marcus' body by sprinkling bread on him to help his journey. he caged peeta, the same way he wanted to cage lucy gray, but he couldn't cage katniss. he couldn't cage sejanus. no matter how hard he tried, sejanus remained a good person, remained true to himself till his death. he killed sejanus but he couldn't kill what he stood for, he couldn't kill the inherent goodness in people. lucy haunted him till the ends of his days, but so did sejanus.

#i truly genuinely hope he was sick to his stomach every time he saw sejanus in katniss #i only ship them in a way that they were in love but snow never deserved sejanus and i hope sejanus memory haunts him EVERYWHERE he turns #cunty draco malfoy needs to calm himself fr like actually #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #sejanus plinth #coriolanus snow #the hunger games #snowjanus

my really cool awesome falke fanart that i spent so much time on and definitely isnt a reference to anything at all

#signalis #my art #falke signalis #yeah #i love women who are haunted by the memories of other women #me when she'll never dance with us again #rlly wonky bc half of it is traced straight from the shinji image and the other half was drawn at 1 am but i think it adds to the charm

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #mdzs au #MDZS disco elysium au #[Pain Threshold - Formidable 13]: Endure it. #I am once again putting my brain ramblings on display to give me a bit more time to finish the comic this is based off of #I promise this will make sense in context. Maybe. #Disco AU gives me the opportunity to explore the idea of 'what if wwx and lwj were even *more* neurotic and haunted?' #LWJ absolutely would have repetitive nightmares about wwx with the themes of inevitability and helplessness. #Sometimes its him dying as wwx stands by. Sometimes it is him - unable to move as wwx slowly fades away. #Haunted by the past....Lost to the pale tides of mourning. Welcoming the pain just to feel the memory nearby. #See you all tomorrow for the Real Comic (manifesting it by saying it over and over again) #side note: I think wwx would be a great lifeguard. He would love heckling teens and helping out kids and old folks. #Goofy but takes the health and safety aspect of his job very seriously. #There's gotta be an AU for that out there....right?

cringing so hard at the memory of me trying to explain me being trans to a young boy and i said ‘haha yeah i didn’t wanna be a girl cause girls have cooties’ and he looked at me funny and said ‘thats sexist’ and just.

i know i was fifteen and didn’t know how to talk to children but how was a ten year old more socially aware than me. it gives me hope for the future. also wanna go back in time and say to my younger self ‘theres so many things wrong with what you just said that i can’t even begin to explain them all but i’ll try’

#sexism #just a reminder that anyone can perpetuate sexism i guess #yeen rambles #anyway that memory haunts me i hope that boy is doing well #transgender
