shirosaki and momose's relationship is so funny to me. shirosaki is an airhead but has a very good sense of responsibility. so he sees this guy who he inspired and decided to take him in (and went absolutely extra especially after realizing how shit his previous boss was). Then there's momose who hasn't had a good relationship since his employment, he'd take any morsel of kindness and be a hundred times grateful for it to the point he doesn't just tolerate shirosaki's goofiness, he adores it (anything is better after his previous boss after all)
so now they're in a weird ??? is this what normal people do??? relationship

forcing myself to be good at communication was always a struggle since I'm a child of parents who would tell each other fuck all about their problems but make me deeply afraid of retribution for certain actions, which could be literally anything I did and not know Why it was wrong because They Don't Communicate, so I had to play fast and loose learning the proper ways to get on with people and all this to say, always fun being a child and having to play mediator between your PARENTS

Anyone else send their friend art or writing and then immediately close the tab theyre talking to the friend on and then wait like a minute before finally having the courage to come back and see what they have to say.

i loved the raven cycle (and TDT by extension) and also i am so infuritated with the raven cycle and a lot of it has to do with the conflict-to-resolution ratio being so very unbalanced
like i think i peaked Fixation Mode between Dream Thieves and Blue Lily, like i was so indescribably hooked on the build up of all this emotional conflict, but what gets me hyped on that stuff is the awaiting of some kind of cathartic resolution to all the interpersonal mess and I was just!! not given it!! the love for each other despite everything and the desire to fix things was clearly there but never properly acted on. because ~they didn't need words~
you know I think maybe you do actually need at least an attempt at words sometimes. i think maybe when your relationships are built on eggshells and the same arguments keep happening over and over, a couple (unrelated to the root of the conflict) grand gestures and knowing looks are actually not a resolution. that's just sweeping the problems under a rug until they inevitably come up again another day when you trip over all that baggage building up underneath
the characters fighting so so much only works if a good amount of time is given later to actually resolving them, otherwise it leaves the whole relationship(s) feeling doomed to fail. which is so frustrating because that's clearly not what its supposed to be about. i'm in agonies
