so in denial about break ending tomorrow, but here we are..
honestly, with all the unexpected pd days and snow days last quarter, it's been a while since i've had a full 5 day week in my room, so i already know this week is going to take everything i have. next weekend is also two (2) days of live sports so i likely won't be here much, meaning—
it's about time to make the switch back to (very) low activity. i have a decent number of drafts at the moment, so i'll probably go based on muse today to see what gets done since i can't imagine i'll get to everything
as usual, let me know if you're feeling something and would prefer the reply sooner rather than later as the queue is my enemy and a lot of times things end up sitting for a while <3 also discord and my personal account, you know the drill
see you properly in may

My Safety Net : SKZ
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Word count: 1.3K
Felix x Reader (gender neutral) 
Summary: You and Felix work through a rough patch of your lives. He is your safety net and you are his rock. Enjoy!
Masterlist!
SKZ Masterlist!
a/n: I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I did! I felt like this is something a little different for me to write, so hopefully you all give it lots of love because it turned out beautiful! Enjoy y’all!! <3
Tumblr media
Life has been really tough for you and Felix. It feels as if everyday is a challenge, which you never thought could be possible with your sweet boyfriend who worships the ground you walk on. Nothing feels like how it did when you first got together. Since Felix’s and the rest of the boys’ career took off, it's hard for Felix to find the time. Since you recently got a promotion at work and have had to step up as a supervisor for a major company, you’ve hardly found the time. The both of you have just led completely different lives in the past two weeks alone and it feels so lonely now whenever you step into the bedroom and your partner is still gone, and will probably be gone until you are fast asleep and gone when you wake up.
 It's hard to lead such different lives, with different schedules and different goals for the day. With everything going on, you end up seeing Felix sparingly, feeling defeated with no hugs and no words of encouragement every morning from him. Felix feels the same, every night it breaks his heart to see you fast asleep with his side of the room softly lit up.
 He knows you try to stay awake every night, but your schedule demands you wake up early at 7am and his demands he stays late, almost until 1 am sometimes. Felix feels sorry that you waste precious hours waiting for him at the dinner table. You feel sorry that he hasn’t gotten a goodmorning I love you and have a good day in almost two weeks and it hurts you that you haven’t shared a meaningful conversation in weeks. 
But the one thing that has kept you going are those moments when you do connect. Even though you barely see him in the mornings and through the day, you leave him a lunch to take ready to go on the kitchen table. You leave little notes in his bag before he leaves for work. You leave an umbrella at the doorstep before you go to sleep because you check the weather every night. When Felix opens that door, dinner is always on the table, whether he wants to eat it or not. When he climbs into bed, you’re always there to envelop him in a warm embrace. You pour your heart into all the little things, like notes and morning coffee or late night dinners. His warm hands at night always find yours and his lips always find yours. Felix always returns these little moments that you share with him. 
On his days off, he bakes cookies and brings them to the front desk at your office building. He does this so often that the receptionist knows him by name whenever he comes in. Felix never forgets to make an extra morning cold brew coffee for you before he leaves at 6. He always cleans the dishes at night while you're fast asleep and he always locks the doors and windows, no matter how tired he may be. Felix always makes sure to turn off the lights, but he always double checks that your glasses are where they should be on the nightstand so you don’t forget them like that one time it was raining and you had to walk in the rain back to the apartment just to see. Felix always gives you a goodnight kiss on the forehead and turns off the heater like you insist on at night so you don’t wake up with a dry throat. 
The both of you feel as if the past few weeks have been grueling and hard, exhausting on both your bodies and your shared relationship. Sometimes Felix asks Chan about how hard relationships can be and how he can make sure to love you better. Chan always just cheekily smiles and says, “I think you’re going in the right direction already.” You always ask your best friend where the best cooking supply store is and when the next discounts are to surprise your boyfriend with his dream mixer. You want to make sure Felix feels loved and cared for even in your mind. 
He makes little cards for you on his dance practice breaks and you fold origami hearts with drawings on breaks between meetings with the budget analyst and creative director. Felix dances with all his intensity as he channels all the frustration he can muster because he hasn’t held you as tight as he should have or kissed you as many times as he should have. You stare intently out the window of your office, wondering when you can next find a free evening to surprise Felix at work and bring him a surprise coffee to encourage him to work but also take care of himself. 
You two do all this because you are his stability and he is your safety net. You love each other with a different type of intensity, not because he gives you roses and brownies but because he brings you the comfort and safety of home. He loves you, not because you make sure he feeds himself or gets hugs and kisses, but because you are his rock in the ever changing sea of being a public figure and artist. You encourage him to be the best man and best lover he can possibly be, even when everything seems to change in front of his eyes. He accepts all your complaints about work and your life when everything continuously seems to beat down on you. 
He is always there to hear your problems and to celebrate your achievements, even when you feel like yours couldn’t possibly compare to his. You are always there to make sure you catch him when he stumbles and falls from his image of being happy all the time. You two love each other because you make the effort to get past all the problems that threaten your relationship.
 At the end of each day, you crack your eyes open as Felix climbs into bed heavily, and you say, “Hi baby. How was your day?” You open your arms and accept Felix for the man he is today, the man he was yesterday, and the man he will be tomorrow. He accepts your offer and says, “Hi my love, it was hard. But I’m happy to be home.” He says this with all the love he can muster and all the brightness in his eyes he can create. You hug him and take all his stress and tense feelings away. He hugs you and takes your anxieties away. At the end of the day, no matter how far apart you two are, you always come back to the man who loves you for who you are. At the end of each week, you always try to make time for each other by going to the park and speaking your honest truths. You tell him the distance bothers you. He tells you he feels lonely without your smiles and hugs too. 
At the end of it all, you come back to each other and feel stronger because you have your safety net and he has yours. And at the end of it all, he always whispers in your ear as you hug, “This won’t last forever. I love you and I mean to keep it that way.” At the end of it all, you cry into his shoulder because you know he means it. At the end of it all, you tell your boss that you need your weekends off or else you might have to step down. At the end of it all, Felix requests shorter schedules from the team. At the end of the day, you make your way back to each other and you and Felix both know that this is where you are meant to be. In his arms, in the home you built with him, in the world you two created together. At the end of the day, you and Felix are in each other’s arms and all is okay again because you love each other.

public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):
brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)
seattle (13-26yo us residents)
boston (13-26yo us residents, EDIT: just commonly banned books)
los angeles (13-18yo california residents)
san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)
these books unbanned cards (unless otherwise stated) get you access to each library's complete libby/cloud library collection, no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.
ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!
i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!
i use library extension (firefox/chrome/edge compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.
spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.

some good news!! the spanish state's ministry of equality has finally passed one of the most progressive trans laws on the planet, shielded free and universal access to abortion and banned conversion therapy and genital surgery for intersex babies, among a lot of other feminist policies. the minister of equality irene montero gave a speech thanking spain's lgtb and trans associations for helping her draft these legislations. couldn't be more proud!!

there are a lot of posts out there that are positive and healthy coping mechanisms for handling the holidays. this is not one of them :)
i think there's like. going to be times in your life you will be stuck in a social situation that you cannot escape from gracefully. i do not know why the internet doesn't believe these times exist. it's not always just that your physical safety is at risk - sometimes it's legit like "i just don't currently have the energy or time to put in the effort of responding to this." sometimes it's a coworker you hate so much. sometimes it's just like, fine, you know? like you know you can handle your aunt when she's cheerily horrible, but if you actually set a boundary around her, it's going to be weeks of fallout with your father.
i don't know why people think the answer is always just "cut them out!" or "don't let them get away with that!" because ... the real world is tricky and complicated. i think kind of a lot of us have an internal "radiation poisoning" meter for certain people. like - i'm talking about the ones who are absolutely giving you gradual ick damage. like, you can handle them, but you'll be exhausted.
and yes. you absolutely should listen to your therapist and the good posts about handling others and set good boundaries and take care of yourself. prioritize peace.
HOWEVER :) ...... since im often in a situation with a Gradual Sense of Ick person i cannot just "cut out" of my life (without losing someone else precious to me) - i have sort of developed the most. maladaptive form of mischief possible. because like, if i'm going to have to listen to this shit again, i like to have a little bit of private fun with it.
now! again, i am physically safe, just mentally drained by this man. you should only do this with people you are not in danger with. which leads me to my suggestions for when your Unfortunate Acquaintance shows up and says oh everyone pay attention to me.
my favorite word is "maybe!" said as brightly and happily as possible. whenever the Horrible Person starts in on a topic you do not want to go further with, particularly if they make a claim that you know to be inaccurate, do not respond to it. you and i have both tried to actually argue with this person, and it hasn't gone well, because this person just wants the drama of an argument. however, "maybe!" gives them literally nothing to go on. it is incredibly disarming. they are used to people having some response. they know they can't prove what they're saying, and maybe! treats them like the child they are. it dismisses them in the politest way possible.
i like to say maybe! and then, in their stunned silence, immediately change the subject. this is because i have adhd and i will have something unrelated to talk about, but if you can't think of topics fast enough, i recommend just pointing to something and saying, "isn't that lovely?" because fuck you let's bring in some positivity.
by the way. that second trick - of pointing to something and stating an opinion about it? - that just works on its own, like, 70% of the time. i picked it up from teaching preschoolers. it's an intentional "redirect". it stops children crying and it also stops grown adults from finishing their explanation on why women belong in kitchens. dual wielding!
keep it silly for yourself. i absolutely do not care if people think i'm fucking stupid (it's more fun if they do) and as a result i will purposefully misunderstand things just to see how long it takes them to realize i've completely removed them from the subject at hand. when they say "women aren't funny" i get to be like. "which women." "all women." "all women in america?" "no in the world." "like the mole people? the people in the world?" "what? no. like, alive." "oh are we not counting the mole people?" "what the fuck are you talking about." "you don't believe in the mole people?"
similarly, i play a personal game called "one up me." my Evil Acquaintance literally knows this game exists (my family & friends caught onto it and now also play it) and it always fucking gets him. i don't know why. you have to be willing to be a little free-spirited on this one, though. the trick is that when they make one of those horrible little bigoted or annoying comments they are always making, you need to go one unit weirder. not more intense, mind you - just more weird. "you don't look good in that dress." "yeah, actually, my other dress was covered in squid ink due to a mishap at the soup store." "you shouldn't wear such revealing clothes." "wait, what? oh shit. sorry, your son tears off strips when no one is looking and eats them. i swear it was longer before we left the building."
the point of "one up me" is to completely upend this person's narrative. we both know this person likes setting up situations where you cannot "win" and then they really like telling other people how badly you handled it. in a usual situation, if you respond "please don't say something that rude", you're a bitch. but if you let it happen, you're letting yourself be debased. they are not usually expecting door number three: unflappably odd. because what are they going to say when they're telling everyone how badly you behaved? "she said my son eats her dresses" ".... okay?"
if you can, form an allyship with someone whomst you can tagteam with. where they can pick up on your weird "soup store" story and run with it.
the following phrase is amazing and can be deployed for any situation: "oh, be nice :) it's the holidays!" i do not know why this works as often as it does. i'll say it for the most random shit. i think this is bc most of the time these people know they're being impolite, they just like to fight.
godbless. when in doubt, remember that you could always start stealing their pens.
the whole point of this is - if you can't escape. maybe see how long you can just be. like. a horrible little menace.

Wolfie and Four friendship appreciation doodles! They're shared secrets besties! I hope Four's distrust of the shadow crystal doesn't drive anything between them. Wild found his way into this compilation with a force. It seems I can't draw Wolfie and not include him too!

RAAAHH this is what we would have gotten the kids to do#so I guess we're just too good at our jobs lol#that one LU post with the lads lined up with their bows? It's AWESOME#but I taught a bunch of kids archery this summer and none of the lads have the right posture lol#I'm walking up and down that line readjusting all of them ahsgdsdf#Imagine Wars going to Wind though like 'remember to pull back to your smile! :D '#and Wind just deadeye staring him down like you serious rn?#caught and removed a scorpion from the lake cabin biffy this summer - that was very exciting#calmed the campers down and put them to bed and then rolled up my sleeves and asked the program staff who was staying with us#for emotional support#her only experience with scorpions was from animal crossing so she was like 'get ready to run' and I'm- I think we'll be okay#anyways it's her perched on one of the toilets with a spray bottle of bleach and me with an empty tupperware from dinner#I caught it under the tupperware but IT MOVED THE TUPPERWARE#we drowned it in bleach and it like finally died but it took a while and then we flung it into the woods BYE BUGGY
