What I really wanted to say tonight:
I hate when an ex tries to come back to apologize and says that the closure is for “both parties” like no. This is for yourself. You know what you did to me. You know how you tore my heart open. You’re apologizing for yourself. In the aftermath of it, you could’ve apologized then, I half expected that.
I never expected that 7 months post-break up, I’d see that number pop up on my phone again. Much less it be you.
I was doing fine really. I was healing and not even thinking of you anymore. But suddenly I get a notification and it’s you. You asking to apologize for what you did. And I let you. But don’t think for a second that I’m letting you waltz back in my life, because you don’t deserve that. Not after leaving me to pick up all the pieces that you left shattered at your wake.
And now that the conversation is over, I wish that I let the guilt eat you instead of letting you get your way. Guess that’s the bitter anger that took resonance in me when you left.

i'll take the very fabric of the space and the time
that you lack for me—i said it was fine
and i'll sew you a pennant in lace and carmine
embellished with all the fractures (hairline)
that criss-cross my heart, a pitiful sign
that i haven't let go, i'm still not resigned
there's been no clean break, no hurts defined
you're a gale force wind, i'm unravelling twine
(but the meter was off, the timing unright
'cause you're on the dock, and i'm a ship in the night)

heads up: bad body image bullshit. struggles. vent fic.
seungcheol's arms are like home as they wrap around you, his lips pressing against the side of your head. even when you swear you're beyond calming, something about his cologne is enough to make you feel safer. he just holds you as you babble endlessly about the flaws you see in the mirror every time you see yourself. the things your own family picked on you for, and then backtracked with saying you couldn't "take a joke" and they clearly meant nothing by it. joke or not, it stung deeply each and every time it happened.
even now, seungcheol sees the way you pull your sleeves over your hands. the way you try to make yourself look smaller in his embrace, hiding away every part of you as much as you can. you don't even realize you're doing it. seungcheol sees you as radiant, as gentle, as kind. to him, you're attractive in your own way: there isn't a word that fits just right. you're you, and that's what he loves the most. but he knows the scars you have hide underneath your skin and go deeper than he can ever soothe with a kiss.
"i love you," he says, rubbing circles into your back. "i'm sorry other people mde you think you're not enough." he presses another kiss against the side of your head. "it's okay," he coaxes you gently, "i've got you now."
you hiccup, burying your hot, wet face into his neck. one day, he knows you'll see what he sees. it'll take time, but he'll be with you every step of that journey if that's what you need.
"cheollie..." your voice is broken when you finally break through the sobs to speak. "love you..." you murmur, hands grabbing at the back of his shirt. "just... hold me for a little longer. if that's okay."
it's always okay. he snuggles in, holding you a little tighter. "whatever you need. you're perfect to me, okay?" he holds your sleeves over your hand, though, when he takes it in his own: his words aren't going to fix you, and if it makes you feel better to hide, he'll let you hide until you're ready to be seen again. and then he'll stand with you when that time comes, proudly showing you off as much as you're comfortable with.

Do you ever just want to see the person who broke you? Not to "fix" anything but just so they have to look in your eyes and see what they did?
I was 9 when you broke me and at 32 it still hurts this week And I don't even have it in me to hate you.

I've seen a lot of discourse about Virginia Kull's portrayal of Sally Jackson in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians TV series, and I'd like to say that I loved her. Don't get me wrong. I love Sally from the original book series, and I, too, would fight the God of War on her behalf. But something that I enjoyed about Virginia's portrayal of Sally that we don't get in the books is the character depth. We don't hear much of Sally's backstory in the TV series, apart from a couple of flashbacks with younger Percy and that scene with Poseidon (Toby Stephens). However, those scenes do an excellent job of showing us that alongside being Percy's mother, Sally is also a young woman who fell in love with a man she could not be with and is enduring the natural consequences of having Percy. She struggles to communicate with him when she's frustrated, gets teary-eyed when she lies to him to prolong the inevitable, and actively sacrifices her happiness to ensure his safety. Virginia Kull's portrayal of Sally Jackson reinforces the character's humanity, imperfections, and determination, and it's everything to me.

Hello again! I see ask are opened! And from the previously answere asks, ive come to know that mychael loves lil funky doo daads! (Im so happy to know this fjwvdjdh i make quite a bit of these and worry that theyre actually useless in the long run ;u;). How would he react if the mc gave him a bunch of ducks? Ive made quite a few and i'd love to throw em at him/affectionate
Oh my god he would adore these!!! Little knickknacks and souvenirs are the best, and he'd definitely fawn over these. I can imagine him happily displaying these little lads and lasses on the fireplace calling them something silly like the 'Ducklings Siblings'. Probably give them names and backstories too (they change spots and stories every time you visit).
And the fact you handmade them makes it so much better! A gesture like that he'd want to return tenfold. He'd be cooking up something similar for you the next time you see him (since his love language is gifting):
