Hey uncle Nina, this is a pretty depressing ask but what do you do after a breakup from a long relationship, let’s say one year? I’ve been really down in the dumps and I’d like to know :(
-a sad anon who loves your fics
oh, you poor sweet sugar sweet pea :(
you know, i've actually been avoiding my inbox ( not because i don't want to talk to y'all, but because i want to talk to y'all so much that i will sit here for days excitedly answering ask memes and never finish my updates which...we are getting somewhere, i swear! )
but, i will make an exception for you, my moon blossom, since you asked so very nicely and put the uncle nina signal in the sky.
first things first, i know you've probably heard this a lot, but please know i am very sorry about your break up. as you ( or some of you keeping up with me ) may know, i just recently got out of a committed three year relationship which, luckily, was a mutual decision and he's still my best friend...but that's not to say the line isn't still incredibly blurry and that i am not in miserable 25/8! haha!
so obviously, based on that, and the fact that i am kind of everyones kenny mccormick bebe stevens chaotic bisexual girl boss auntfuncle, i might not be the smartest or most responsible person to ask! but i do, care about you and all of you very, very much! so i will impart what limited wisdom i have on you.
and darling, i would say i hope you heal. but i know you will <3 :)
i want to start off by saying: please be sad as long as you want. there is no such thing as being sad about a break up for too long or too short & anyone who tells you that is not being kind to you. you know yourself and you are going through something hard and horrible. be gentle to yourself and let yourself feel the things that you feel.
with that said, any time you need to cry: cry. as loudly and as frequently as you need to. if you need to yell: yell, at the top of your lungs -- wake up your neighbors. laugh if you need to laugh.
those cathartic emotions are healthy. you may feel like you are being melodramatic, but you are taking care of yourself. the worst possible thing to do is tell yourself that what you are feeling is invalid or irrational and bottling those complex emotions. do not bottle please. let it out, my love and please let the light in.
to encourage this catharsis ( in a healthy way ), i suggest watching movies that might trigger powerful emotions in you ( sad movies, angry movies etc. ), listening to loud music ( when i tell you i listened to night shift by lucy dacus and taylor swift all too well 10 minutes for a week straight absolutely screaming and crying until my throat was raw...don't worry about being cringe...i crabwalked so you can run ), write letters to yourself/the person you broke up with in a journal, breaking stuff...uh...do not obstruct property...mayhaps...i would say something else but the government agent in my computer would not like it very much ( b3 g@y d0 cr1m3$ ), go to break rooms, loud concerts, poetry nights...drop a watermelon off something tall.
getting all of those feelings out is my first step.
( other than maybe doing things that will help you get closure depending on the nature of your breakup, be it speaking to that person, or burning everything that reminds you of them...i honestly recommend getting rid of anything that reminds you of/belongs to that person...or upcycling it into something different with a different positive purpose in your life. we live in the present now, past is past. )
next...as we learn to let that hate, angry, sadness go...
we embrace love.
not romantic...not even platonic at first.
but self love. :)
i've mentioned this a couple times, i think. but peppermint, while about two people falling in love, has never actually been about romantic love for me...which may seem weird.
to me, peppermint is a story about falling in love with your best friend and accidentally falling in love with yourself along the way.
peppermint is about loving yourself. flaws and all. <3
to do that, i would start by grounding yourself. remember who you are.
( please don't be like jersey kyle...help. )
what i did was i made a list of things that i know i like. my favorite color, my favorite animal, songs i like, smells, places, clothes, etc.
write down things you know about yourself.
you can also make a list of things you dislike, but i find that welcomes a lot of negative energy and i think that might not be great, tbh?
but get comfortable with yourself! stare at yourself in the mirror for a while. take so many pictures of yourself -- even on bad days. they serve as a reminder of where you came from and later how far you have come. also i think i look ugly when i take pictures and look at them later and realize i was being cruel. you may be like that too.
but yes! write diary entries! notes to yourself! leave voice memos! draw little pictures! tell yourself nice things in the mirror.
at the end of the day, even if you think you have no one.
you will always have you.
and it's important that you love yourself.
not the you that someone else loved or other people might love.
but the you that YOU are.
a good way to do that...my favorite way...
is to take yourself out on dates :)
i would use that information you collected about yourself and start doing your favorite things with yourself! you do not need someone else to do the things that you love and it becomes a you experience.
maybe take yourself to a movie at the cinema, find a park and have a picnic eating your favorite foods, take yourself to a restaurant, take a walk, a bubble bath, watch your favorite movie in your comfiest pajamas, wear that outfit that you were scared to wear.
treat yourself. celebrate yourself. you are worthy of love. YOU.
some people believe that the best way to cure heartbreak is to seek out new romantic love but uh...i would advise against that. specifically through dating apps. they may work for some people, but every experience i have had on a dating app has ranged from awkward to...absolutely fucking terrifying.
i also think that when you go looking for something...you often do not find it and you might find something...you do not want.
with that said, it sounds vague but just...let life happen to you.
i truly believe that what needs to find you will find you. being patient is no fun, i know, but all the best things in life have happened to me when i don't expect them at all.
also, i know it's a vulnerable time, but the best way to get better after you start trying to love yourself and do what you love is...do what you don't know you love yet? stuff you might hate!
try new things! go new places! maybe just to a restaurant you have never been to? a new store? a nature spot you've never seen? take a class/hobby/sport you've never tried. open yourself up to possibility. i know that is frightening, but closing yourself up will only prevent you from being able to grow and heal. it keeps you small. be big. be so big. take up so much fucking space. be obnoxious about it. you deserve to live, you deserve to love. love yourself very much.
but remember that self love and romantic love are not the only types of love...i'm gonna loop back to platonic love.
lean into that warmth. create a strong support system of people around you that can be there for you through this hard time. people that you can talk to, people that can go fun places with you, do cool things with you, people who will pick you up when you are down.
i realize not everyone has access to support system, but please know that if that's the case, that you always have me. my dms are open. even when i am writing or away, you can message me. i usually respond quickly or within in 1-2 day frame but if i see your message and it seems very urgent, i will answer asap wherever i am.
i am here for you. i see you. you are valid and you are so strong. <3
finally, please be kind to yourself and gentle to yourself.
do not punish yourself for your past relationship or your feelings. remember that we all make mistakes and learn from them. i make mistakes everyday and i model that for my students whenever i can. please do not beat yourself up. you are fine. you are okay. what's past is past, it's done, it's gone it's dusted. right now, we are creating a positive present so you can have a fortuitous future, my friend.
here is an excerpt from one of my favorite poems. <3
okay finally x2, healing is not linear. there are ups and downs. ride that rollercoaster. take that journey of self discovery. discover yourself. find yourself. love yourself because you are so, so lovely.
now, from me to you:
remember...it's always darkest before crimson dawn
and from all that hurts and harms you, past, present or future, i hope you heal.
but you will, my miracle…
you absolutely will. :')
-a sad uncle nina who loves you very much </333333

[VENT POST / DNREBLOG]
Gotta keep telling myself like, 60% of the HnK fandom is just babies who are like, Barely out of their teenage years (allegedly - I’m not IN the fandom bc im almost 30 and fandom drama anything is stupid and not worth my time) but sometimes I’ll see a stupid take and then it’s like “oh you’re just 19 okay. Ur a BABY in comparison you don’t have the life experience to know better” but man it’s SO HARD to not have anyone on my same intellect to talk about this series 😩
It just feels like a vast majority of readers side with Phos despite all of the equally shitty things they did with the Gems and treat Phos like they fulfilled all of their promises even tho they didn’t? They jumped from one empty, long-winded promise to another and the only way they were ever fulfilled is by someone else who fell into the place that Phos left.
Like, Bort was absolutely correct when they said Phos preyed on their weaknesses and then manipulated them into leaving earth (save for Dia, who had already peaced out-ied), but you all aren’t ready for that kind of taking accountability yet
Also, regarding Phos, the best most recent example I can think of comes from TUA S3; this quote from Five:
You know what they call a superhero who works alone and doesn’t listen to anybody? A villain.
In the perspective of the Gems, Phos is a wild card. Unpredictable, chaotic, powerful, othered. All in all, Phos is basically a superhero relative to the Gems’ usual abilities. They are To be feared, because they [the Gems] don’t understand. Jade even says “I’m sorry I didn’t take the time to understand you” (PARAPHRASE) Phos, whether intentionally or not, lauds this over the rest of the Gems.
[To simplify - Phos is that kid who keeps kicking the back of your chair. Hard. And doesn’t stop when you ask politely]
So like YES - the Gems absolutely suck in that aspect of not really ever understanding Phos based on their formulated, projected image of them. Yes they should’ve made more of an effort to support Phos earlier on, etc etc. BUT at the same time, if their circumstances were also being outwardly manipulated the entire time by Aechmea, then they really couldn’t do much to stop it.
On the flip side, the Gems suck because they’re now dealing with their own butterfly effect of problems coming to light between themselves and their community/culture as a whole because of Phos, who swung at the proverbial bees nest??? That also doesn’t sit well, because it’s reducing the problem to Black vs White; good versus evil, and that’s where I fear people are losing the actual themes of the story in exchange for “durhur my blorbos” brainrot 🙄
[Dont blind yourselves to the ways in which a character does or doesn’t take accountability and responsibility for their actions. It’s what differentiates a hero from a coward; the degree in which a character owns up to their actions is a huge reflection of their personal integrity]
Even if Phos viewed their own actions as noble and worth the effort and troubles imposed on the others, they still acted selfishly. Solo. They saw this big, monumental task that nobody had ever done before and developed so much tunnel vision for it without thinking of how their actions would branch out and affect everyone else around them.
When Cinnabar tells them to drop it for their own sake, Phos does the complete fucking opposite and escalate things. They hear “Don’t do that” and see a challenge to prove wrong.
So I don’t blame Cinnabar for not wanting to go or stay with Phos, since REALLY, this fucking far, Phos never actually thought about Cinnabar other than as a means to fulfill THEIR promises to find them a better job. Cinna even acknowledges that - “if you had just asked to be partners, it would be different” (NOT VERBATIM) - like Shinsha Isn’t fucking stupid, and perhaps is able to see through more of the ruse Phos put up than the other Gems because they lived separately from the community mindset. And also if we’re speaking truthfully, their connection wasn’t even that deep beyond shipping lenses. Phos never took the time to really get to know Shinsha or understand what THEY wanted. Phos imposed what they thought Shinsha wanted.
Anyway Jesus fucking Christ I have a lot of thoughts and analysis now that I’ve reread Houseki at an older age - there are a lot of moments and events that I didn’t fully understand when I first read it. But boy there are so many more things I get now that im older :’)
Also all attempts at starting “fandom drama” with me will be ignored :) because I literally don’t care about the petty trivialities of fandom drama.

⠀⠀⠀“WHAT?! SEX BAN?!”
﹅ contains ;; gojo satoru , kento nanami , choso kamo , toji fushiguro , ryomen sukuna , geto suguru
﹅ alt title ;; how long the jjk men can withstand the sex ban
﹅ warnings ;; sorta sub!choso , whiny!choso , toji's part is more explicit than the others , this is my first time writing for some of the character so i'm sorry if i didn't describe them well
GOJO SATORU (3 days)
“are you serious?” gojo groans, slumping forwards. gojo watched in disappointment as you crossed your arms, looking away from him. "you did it so you have to pay." for weeks, you've been trying to tell gojo to separate the colors from the whites while doing laundry. him just wanting to get it over with, he dumped them all in the same load, ruining some of your favorite pieces of clothing.
"baby, please. i won't do it again," he begs, kneeling in front of you. but to no avail, you stood your ground.
it only took him 3 days to convince you to wave your white flag, surrendering to his seduction. "you look good in my shirts." gojo's hands caress your hips as he presses his chest to your back. "i would be in my clothes if you would just listen to me." you huff, "i never said i was disappointed." gojo whispered, his hard-on pressing on your ass.
“please. just drop the ‘sex ban’. i said i was sorry.” his lips make a trail of kisses on your neck. you needed him too. whenever he wasn’t around, you would use your toys, trying to not let gojo know you were sexually needy. but they didn’t work.
RYOMEN SUKUNA (not happening!)
no. just no. it’s funny that you even thought about putting that in motion. sukuna was too desperate for sex but never wanted to admit it.
“no,” he stood above, crossing his arms, making himself seem bigger than you (as if he even needed to do that). “you can’t deprive me of sex, woman.” he grunts. “but i can, kuna. that’s what you fail to realize.” you tut, standing up to walk away.
one of his four arms wraps around your waist, throwing you back on the soft surface. "you're not going through with this." he growls in your ear, crawling go top of you.
how dare you even think such a thing? you were his woman, his twin flame. you were the only person he showed the littlest respect to and you decide to do some foolery like this.
he tugs your shirt over your head, your bra coming next. his rough hands slide over your chest. "such beauty..." he whispers. "i'll make sure you never think of this again.
KENTO NANAMI (it was on accident)
his job was taking him away from you. between being a jujutsu sorcerer and a businessman, he couldn't find time to be a partner for you.
due to the lack of attention you were receiving, you became sexually pent up, having the urge to pleasure yourself at the worst times. the feeling of neglect was creeping up on you. some days, you forgot nanami even lived with you.
"love, i'm home." nanami tugs off his tie, tossing it to the side. "i don't know how long i can take of this." he rubs his temples, deeply sighing as he led himself to your shared bedroom. before his hand touched the cold metal knob, he heard your muffled moans and the squelching of your cunt.
he slowly opens the door, peeking in the room before fully entering. "it seems i've neglected you." he watches as you quickly cover yourself as if he hasn't seen you naked many times. he unbuttons the top of his shirt as he saunters to the edge of the bed, removing the covers off you.
"seems like i have some things to make up for."
CHOSO KAMO (not even a day)
"please." he whines, his head resting on your lap as he looks up at you. ever since you shared your first time with choso, he's been going at it with you like rabid dogs. if he wasn't inside you, his head was squished in between his thighs.
"choso, i need a break." you sigh, trying to remove him from off you. his grip on your legs was tight as he put his face in between your thighs, shaking his head. he was acting like he couldn't survive without your cunt somehow being involved.
"i swear, i'll leave you alone after. just please," he whined. you couldn't resist him for much longer. you hated when he got all whiny like a baby. he was spoiled because of you.
"fine." you undo the tie of your sweatpants before his hands swatted yours away, tugging your pants and panties off. "i promised you." he kisses your inner thigh before his tongue began flicking away.
TOJI FUSHIGURO (mans was balls deep in you the second you said it)
"you really think so?" he darkly chuckles, rubbing himself on you. "toji, i'm sorry. please." you whine, wiggling your ass on his cock. "i don't think you are." he teases, stepping away from you.
you whine, following him. "it was a joke." you press your hand on his chest. "did i laugh?" he tilts his head, smirking at you. you sigh, "toji, i'm sorry." you press yourself against him, your chest touching his.
"fuck." you knew he couldn't resist the feeling of your chest on him. it was like heaven to him. "turn around." he grunts, gripping your hips to turn you around, bending you over.
he easily slid inside of you due to how wet you got over time. "don't say stuff you don't mean, baby." he laughs, thrusting into your backside. it was worth it.
GETO SUGURU (you gave in after implementing it)
you wanted to test geto's limits, giving him an extra nnn moment which made you realize something. it was always you initiating sex. "geto, please. i give up." you whine, following him around the house.
he chuckles, "everyone must deal with their consequences, my love." he turns to you. he plastered a sinister smile, taunting you. he saw how much you needed him but he wasn't caving in until he heard you say it.
"i'll do anything. my hand isn't even working anymore." you simper. it was starting to become frustrating seeing how calm he was about all of this as you were suffering.
"i need you! is that what you wanted to hear?" you shout, earning a grin from him. he walks closer to you, his finger tracing your jawline, "why didn't you say that sooner, love?" he chuckles.

So a little different from what I normally post on here. But I’ve been keeping up with Shelby coming out about the abuse Wilbur did to her. And the way that the internet is handling this like it’s some drama? Like no? The fuck it isn’t?? It’s literally a crime-
A human bite is so fucking dangerous and the fact that she had MULTIPLE BITES? Insane?? What the fuck?
I will admit, I avoided watching her stream since I’m also an abuse survivor. I constantly undermine my experiences- I hate calling myself a victim because I don’t believe the severity of it was as bad as it could have been. But, listening to Shelby talk about her trauma made me realize that abuse is abuse.
I’m gonna go on a small rant here- just because this whole thing has been kinda sending me in a spiral-
I listened to the stream and I sympathized with her and understood her. When you’re in an abusive situation, it’s really hard to find it in yourself to get out. Finding reasons why the bruises aren’t bad and that it could be worse. Trying to get people to understand that it’s not your abusers fault, that you did something to piss them off. I get that- I went through that.
I was a kid. My abuser was a kid. He would either use his or my own body to get me to listen to him. We were in middle school for fuck sake- Did he hit me? Yes. Did he verbally assault me? Yes. Were we both minors? Yes. Does this make my situation seem less than any other? I don’t know- Again, I can’t bring myself to fully accept the fact that I am a victim despite the fact it happened a few years ago at this point.
Now, the half-assed apology Wilbur posted deadass reminded me of mine. When someone is caught, they do everything to pin the reason for their actions on anybody else but themselves. And that’s what he did. He apologized for her feelings getting hurt, not the fact that he caused it. I went through that, but I was forced to accept the apology through my school officials- I had to so we can ‘maintain the peace’. I love the fact that Shelby publicly said that she didn’t accept it. She was so strong for so long- she didn’t deserve that, nobody does.
And the fact that people online are trying to force responses out of EVERYBODY? They shouldn’t do that- and again, I understand taking time to recollect. You know how long I spent staying around my abuser just because I had friends who still talked to him? So long. But at the same time, I couldn’t drop him either for a while- He was my best friend- and despite the fact he hurt me so badly. I couldn’t drop him.
Give people time to say something. It’s a LOT harder than it seems- it’s different for fans since we don’t know CCs beyond the internet, but for CCs who talking irl and have been for years? It’s so damn hard-
To other abuse survivors: Remember that you are loved, you are strong, and you are so fucking brave.
Please give all your support to Shelby, and fuck Wilbur.
