Hi!! If I may request Paddy / Eoin for kissing details prompt: shushing your lover as they try to kiss you, telling them that tonight is all about them, not you

Thank you!!

S===========================ome soft Paddy/Eoin ^^ (with Salem's contribution...)

-

He shakes his head, not in denial or rejection, but needing the distance Eoin’s lips seek to deny him. He feels warm breath against his skin, Eoin trembling as he tries to kiss him against the weight of Paddy’s hand at his chest. His heart it beating fast; Paddy’s is faster.

“Love—” Eoin plea grazes against his lips.

Paddy’s eyes fall closed before he finds the strength he needs. “It’s okay,” he murmurs, pulling back. He looks, with clarity, at the man he loves, an unworthy hand coming up to caress the handsome contours of Eoin’s face. Their eyes meet, his own words so soft they’re little more than a breath. “Hush,” he gently urges, almost faltering beneath the weight of his own certainty. Eoin always looks after him. He always takes such good care of Paddy, devoting himself to Paddy’s every need, to his every pleasure, making it an effortless, weightless joy to be loved.

Tonight, Paddy wants to give what he is always so freely given, to let Eoin know how it is to be loved the way Eoin loves him. He wants to hold his lover in his arms, to be the breakwater that keeps the storm at bay, the sanctuary he can find boundless comfort in. He wants Eoin to be free to feel everything, while Paddy guides and guards him every heartbeat of the way.

He wants Eoin to feel the way Paddy does in his arms.

Gently stroking Eoin’s cheek, Paddy finds a gentle smile as he falls into Eoin’s gaze. “It’s my turn to look after you.”

A song about unrequited friendships 💌

The 2nd chapter of my voice memos demos series (recorded on my phone’s voice app) 🫶

I wrote this song a few months ago about a friendship I know isn’t good for me, but I keep giving it chances because of how much I love the person. It’s still a complicated situation but writing this song helped me putting it into words.

Does anyone else regularly write in physical diaries and has a pretty large collection of completely finished past notebooks?

I probably watch too much True Crime but I always wonder if someone will one day go through them if I passed away only to be frustrated by my chicken scratch handwriting lmao.

#ive been writing in diaries for as long as i can remember #typing out entries on a word document just doesnt feel the same. i need to physically write my feelings #i rarely meet others who do this too so if youre also a physical notebook writer pls drop this post a like #thoughts #pen and paper diary #pen and paper journaling #pen and paper #pen and ink #paper journal #paper diary

I’ve always wanted to be the kind of person who keeps a journal so as a birthday gift to myself I bought a really nice one with an embroidered cover off Etsy a couple weeks ago, it came yesterday and I finally sat down to use it today and I’ve discovered that I absolutely love it. I wrote 6 pages (2 of which were about OFMD lmao) and I feel great

#it’s very centering #idk I had a little princess diary when I was like 7 and I’ve cherished the handful of entries I wrote in it since #it’s nice to have a record of how it was to actually be living through a certain time in your life rather than just looking back on it #with the added veneers of hindsight and context #I wish I’d started sooner but yknow best time to plant a fruit tree is seven years ago second best time is today #I was not expecting to write that much though it’s gonna take me way less time than expected to fill this journal apparently #which!! great!! I’d love to have a whole shelf documenting my life someday! #spilling the Tea

today I accidentally slept through the morning, and was left drinking coffee that had gone cold too quickly, just feeling a weird mixture of sleepy and sad and ~Yearning For Something~ but unsure What For...BUT then I decided to go for a walk to the beach even though it was pretty cloudy. Being by the waves made me feel lots better. And it started to pour with rain while I was walking back home but I didn’t mind one bit. Actually, it was quite wonderful. To be all alone on the hills, only the crash of the waves and the misty rain falling and catching on my eyelashes. I then walked back through a woodland and saw what I think was a sparrow hawk swooping through the trees. It is not always an easy thing to do, to stare straight into the face of your emotions, to rise up into a new day and try to be better, but it is very brave to do so. I think we are all very brave. Walking back through the rainy streets, I felt such a sense of tenderness for all the lives happening around me. All the people doing little mundane things, their lives reduced to that moment, that grocery store queue, that drive back home, that meal being cooked. Even if they all feel very far away from me, and loneliness creeps in far too easily, even so, I hope they are happy. I probably looked mad walking through the street looking like a drowned rat, smiling at every stranger I passed by, but I hope they know my kindness was genuine. I hope they know I’m proud of them. I hope they know I’m hopeful for them, for us, and I hope they are hopeful too.

Some Johnny/Reg for @revolutionarybillfraser - thank you <3

The prompt: Not being able to unbutton your lover’s shirt because their kisses are everywhere

-

“Fucking hold still,” Reg mutters, grunting as he tries to navigate getting Johnny’s shirt off. The lanky bastard is hardly helping, his hands and mouth everywhere, groping and grabbing and distracting in a way Reg would enjoy a lot more if he wasn’t currently trying to even the score.

Johnny does not hold still though, leaving Reg to huff as he tries to get the top buttons of Johnny’s shirt undone. He fails, his hips jerking forward as Johnny bites wetly at his neck, making him moan and curse.

“Right, that’s it,” he mutters, panting at the effort.

There’s a sharp cry of protest as Reg grips at the front of Johnny’s shirt, ripping it open, but the protest is short-lived. Johnny doesn’t even pull away, kissing his way up to Reg’s mouth. “You bastard,” he accuses, his irritation only adding flavour.

Reg couldn’t care less. He pulls Johnny’s shirt off, and then forgets about the damn thing, finally able to get his hands on Johnny’s gorgeous body, his fingers running down Johnny’s lithe back as they press against each other.

“You’re going to fix that.”

His face buried in Johnny’s neck, inhaling the scent of his skin, Reg scoffs at the idea. “Am I fuck.”

Johnny gives what was probably supposed to be a pissed off retort, but just comes out as a needy moan. Fumbling between their bodies for a moment, he’s at least wise enough to unfasten his shorts and underwear before Reg can get at them. “Hurry up,” he demands, tugging at Reg’s shorts too.

Only one button needs to be undone before Reg can shove them down, and then he stops thinking about buttons and sewing and clothing at all.

There are better things to focus on.

The Hope Diaries // 29th December 2023

I was really unwell today after I came back from running with my friend. In fact I was really unwell from the moment I woke up this morning. I had some weird dreams. In those dreams I could stop you from leaving. I woke up and realised you had already left a long time ago. There was nothing I could do. I completely crashed. I was meant to go out with my friend K and wanted to cancel. But I went anyways. I’m glad I did. She is going through some kind of heartbreak too and it was nice to speak to someone who gets it. Everyone around me seems to be doing so well. I still found myself unable to talk about my issues, but I enjoyed listening to her. It made me feel less alone. How we all experience heartbreak and loss differently but in the same way. And how we all experience it at some point. It’s normal. I’m not this crazy monster alone on her own island.

She talked, I listened. We drank and ate. She had a Jagerbomb and a Moscow Mule. Talked more. I had a Cherry Coke and drove her back home. We sat in my mom’s car, lights off just talking for about an hour. This has been the first time in ages I felt more like myself. It was great to just put the world on pause for an hour. We chatted, laughed, sang the duet from the Phantom of the Opera. We reminisced about high school. I sometimes hate doing that, or sometimes love it. This time it wasn’t either love or hate. It wasn’t extreme. It was just fine. I looked at it more neutrally, it didn’t overwhelm me. I don’t know what the next few days or even the next few weeks will bring. But those parked car conversations, between midnight and 1am were special to me.

I drove back home in the early hours, listening to 'A World Alone' by Lorde. I felt free for a moment.

What's Dracula daily?

Dracula Daily became Tumblr's favorite book club during the pandemic. If you're unfamiliar with how the original novel is structured, it is an epistolary novel, meaning it's made up of documents, letters, diary entries, and telegrams all of which have a date on them.

Dracula Daily takes those dates and sends out the passages from the book on the dates they happen. So some days, you'll get a lovely email from your good friend Johnathan Harker about the hearty chicken dish he's enjoying on his travels, and the next email might be from Mina detailing a letter from her good friend Lucy and all her would-be suitors vying for her and in marriage.

It's a fun way to digest the novel.

There's also the podcast version hosted by @re-dracula, which is a real blast. You haven't lived until you've heard a vampire getting hit in the head with a shovel, complete with sound effects.

Fearless Social Confidence: Strategies to Live Without Fear, Speak Without Insecurity, Beat Social Anxiety, and Stop Caring What Others Think - Patrick King book notes

Socially confident people:

expect to be accepted. When they meet strangers, they expect to make a good impression. They never approach situations thinking, “What if they don’t like me?” Instead they think, “I hope I like them.”

evaluate themselves positively. Socially confident people are encouraging, positive, and accepting of themselves. They give themselves leeway not to be perfect and don’t beat themselves up too harshly when they are not.

feel comfortable around superiors. Socially confident people feel comfortable because they don’t feel threatened, or that their flaws and vulnerabilities will be highlighted by the other person’s qualities.

With a lack of social confidence, you are usually choosing the thought that is cruelest to yourself.

when navy SEALs recognize that they are feeling overwhelmed, they regain control by focusing on their breath—breathing in for four seconds, holding for four seconds, and then out for four seconds, and repeating until you can feel your heart rate slow down and normalize.

Core beliefs: 

Steps in a thought diary entry can be arranged in the easy-to-remember A-C-B format—

Activating Event. Note down the event/ situation. This is simply the origin point of your emotional change. It’s whatever caused your emotional status to change from calm to agitation (a memory, a song, etc).

Consequences. In this step you identify the specific emotions and sensations that arose. These could be simple feeling words— “anxious,” “unhappy,” “sickened,” “panicky,” “melancholy,” “confused,” and so forth.

Beliefs. This is where the action begins. How do you link the activating event with the consequences? What unconscious narrative or story about yourself was told to achieve the consequence? (“What was I thinking?”  “What was going through my head when this happened?”  “What’s wrong with that?”“What does this all mean?”  “What does it reveal about me?”)

Now you’ve gotten to the bottom of your situation and figured out what your core beliefs are.

The first step is writing down one of the core beliefs you’ve just uncovered. Ask yourself what experiences you’ve had that prove your core belief wasn’t always true. Generate as many experiences as you can and be very specific about what happened.

Write down the core belief you’re examining.  Think of ways that you can put that belief to the test. These are actual tasks that you can perform.  Then, write down what you expect or predict will happen after conducting these tasks if your core belief was true.  Perform the tasks.  Write down what really happened after you completed your task.  Compare and contrast your predictions with what actually happened. Finally, document what you learned from the task and come up with a new, more reasonable core belief that goes in line with your discoveries.

Bushman’s results imply that sometimes the best course of action after being provoked to anger is to just sit quietly and let it pass.

There’s a direct link between social anxiety and negativity. A 2016 Australian research study showed that “elevated social anxiety vulnerability is characterized only by facilitated attentional engagement with socially negative information.” Obsessing over negative details—including by constantly talking about one’s problems—only reinforces one’s social fears and does nothing to inspire real confidence in a social setting.

Personalization is the mother of guilt. In the cognitive distortion of personalizing, you feel responsible for events that cannot conceivably be your fault. While it is admirable to take responsibility for your actions, there are things completely out of your control: the subway schedule, other people’s actions, and a million day-to-day factors.

Common cues of overgeneralization are “always” and “never.” When starting a sentence or a thought with “always” or “never,” consider whether you have the experience or evidence to back up the statement.

Other people aren't only what they are showing to the world. Most people put on a good show. But do you really know what might be going on in their private life? Take comfort from the fact that while there will be many people who are better at certain things than you are, there are also most certainly things that you will be better at.

If you are self-conscious and worried that people will judge you if you say something stupid or “off,” there's an easy workaround to that. The best approach is simple preparation. Create answers to predictable questions and conversations. Run that mental videotape in your mind about your past 10, 20, or 30 social conversations. I guarantee they are not all that different from each other.

Figure out the general questions that people will ask and the topics that will come up in normal conversation and be prepared with story-answers. For example, How was your weekend? What are you doing this weekend? How was your day? What do you do for work?

How can we ease ourselves into social confidence little by little? 

List the social situations you avoid. Ask yourself what kinds of gatherings or circumstances you steer clear of and write them all down in a list. Your list should include both physical situations—parties, family gatherings, work presentations, and so forth—and personal experiences that you don’t want to face.

Give each situation a SUDS level from 0 to 100.

Plan your goals.

Build your goal stepladder. You’ve planned a goal and have decided to start work. Remember, situational exposure is a bit-by-bit process.
