Two apartments ago I had sliding mirror doors on my closet and every time I’m worldbuilding and timeline planning a major project I miss those doors so much 😭😭😭

#two big mirrors and chalk markers #no better way #rain rambles #I’m suffering #and trying to figure out how much of my paycheck I can justify splurging to resolve this issue #I am looking at whiteboards and cork boards and mirrors #marriage of state au

an | hi sweet friends, merry christmas and happy holidays <3 here is my present to you all; i know that for many of us this time of year can bring up a lot of feelings and memories so i’m hoping this fic can be a source of comfort for anyone who needs it. i did my best to make it as versatile as possible, this way hopefully lots of you can find some comfort here. hope you’re all well, safe, and at peace this christmas.

“Y/n, you in there?” At the sound of Steve’s voice calling through the bedroom door accompanied by a faint knock against the wood, your heart drops to the pit of your stomach as you sit amongst the mess of pillows and blankets on the bed, knees tucked against your chest as your body all but collapses in on itself. “We should probably start getting ready for the party; Stark said food’s starting around five.”

Clutching your prized stuffed bear to your chest, you swallow down a lump in your throat, eyes darting over to the door as it opens to reveal the tall blonde man, his face contorting into a frown when he spots you balled up and shaking. “Sweetheart? Hey- what’s the matter?” he coos as he makes his way over to the bed, his brow furrowed in concern as he lowers himself down carefully beside you.

Lowering your head, you struggle to find your voice. Your mind feels heavy, full of swirling thoughts and a brutal throbbing you can’t seem to shake. Steve’s worry only continues to grow as he watches your eyes fill with tears; reaching out a hand, he gently places it on your back, rubbing in slow, soothing circles. “Y/n,” he murmurs carefully, lowering his head in an attempt to catch your gaze, “can you tell me what’s up, pretty girl? Daddy just wants to help you, darlin’. Gotta tell me what’s on your mind so I can try to make it better.”

“Sorry,” you mumble, bottom lip puffing out slightly in embarrassment. Glancing at the clock, you curse at yourself silently, realizing there’s no way you won’t be late to Stark’s party at this rate. “I-I know we’re s'ppose to be leaving soon,” you sniffle, causing Steve to shake his head as he continues to rub your back, “d-didn’t mean to make us late, I-”

“Hey, hey, hey- that’s okay, babydoll. Don’t you worry about that, alright? We can show up whenever we want, or we don’t have to go at all. Whatever you want, princess. This is our Christmas Eve; Tony throws parties all the time.”

Against your best efforts to keep from crying, a single tear manages to escape, making its way down your cheek before you’re able to do anything to stop it. Huffing in frustration with yourself, you wipe it away harshly, only for your hand to be covered by Steve’s much larger one, tenderly easing your fingers away from your irritated flesh. “Easy, sweetheart. Gotta be gentle with yourself. Can you tell me what’s goin’ on? I thought you were excited to go tonight; you went out and found that pretty dress with Nat and everything.”

Sighing, your shoulders collapse a bit further; though you know your daddy is exceptionally patient and understanding, you’re still struggling to find the courage to tell him what’s been on your mind. “I just…” you try, another round of tears building as you shake your head. “I-I just don’t like Christmas,” you finally admit. “Well- no, I-I do, I just… I don’t know. It just always makes me think of…” As your voice trails off into the silence of the room, a knowing look forms on Steve’s face as he nods thoughtfully, clearly understanding what you’re trying to say. After knowing you for most of the year and slowly gaining your trust over those several months, he’s come to learn of many of the hardships you faced growing up, and it makes complete sense to him why this time of year might be difficult given your circumstances.

“Oh y/n… I’m so sorry,” he whispers, taking your hands in both of his as his eyes finally meet yours. “I didn’t even think of that- I’m sorry, princess. That’s a lot to be thinking of and feeling, isn’t it?” Sucking in a shaky breath, you nod, doing your best to not completely fall apart as Steve pulls you over onto his lap, wrapping you up in his strong, loving arms. “Come here, sweet girl,” he hums as you tuck your head into the crook of his neck, your tears slowly making their way down his shoulder, forming a wet patch on the fabric of his t-shirt.

“Shhh, it’s okay, y/n,” he soothes, gently rocking you back and forth as you sniffle, mumbling an apology against his warm skin. “No, little one. None of that, no need for sorry’s. You never have to apologize for having big feelings, okay? I know it’s hard, sweetheart. How can I help?”

“D-do you think… would it b-be okay if we stayed home?” you ask carefully, lifting your head sheepishly to meet the man’s gaze. Stroking your hair back behind your ear, Steve smiles softly at you, nodding.

“Of course that’s okay, princess. We’ll have a nice night in, yeah? Just you and me. We can turn on the fireplace, get nice and comfy, maybe snuggle up on the couch and watch some movies- how does that sound?”

“Yes please,” you nod, liking the sound of a quiet night in with Steve much more than a wild party over at the Stark Tower. “A-and maybe we can have some hot chocolate?”

“Good idea, doll. I can whip us up some easy on the stove, with plenty of marshmallows, of course, know how much you love those candy cane ones we got. We have Christmas cookies from Bucky, too; those would be good to snack on.”

“Mmm,” you hum, remembering the big box of treats your daddy’s friend had brought over earlier in the week. “Think he had peanut butter kisses in there,” you smile shyly. “You like those best, right Daddy?”

“You know me so well,” Steve beams with pride as he plants a kiss on your nose, bringing a hand in to cup your cheek. “Okay lovebug, you got yourself a deal. I can’t think of a better way to spend Christmas Eve than a cozy night in with my best girl.”

also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.

there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.

you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.

but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.

#like re: the last post #npd SHOULDNT mean 'youre an abusive person'#but also people who have abused people in the past can still become better people in the present #you know?#and as i metioned vaguely in that post. the way we currently treat people with NPD probably CAUSES THEM to lash out at and abuse others #if u abuse someone they lash back out at you and suddenly theres fun mutual abuse happening #so they need a way out of that cycle

why should palestinians have to leave behind their land because israel wont stop killing them. why should anyone have to leave behind their life and memories and sentimental value just because an aggressor is left unchallenged. please think this sentiment through and delete it from your thoughts. instead of blaming an oppressed people for living in a hostile land, ask who is making that land hostile to live in.

#this is vaguely worded except the first part because ive seen thsi sentiment time and time again #when the trans genocide began everyoen started blaming trans peopel for living in florida isntead of the people making it unlivable #every timw a cop kills a person of color everyones told to just move somewehre w better cops (doesnt exist) >#< rather rhan examine who gave the cops such pwoer and what use the cops are anyways #i know its rasier to blame the victims of this kind of thing. the oppressors deisgn it taht way and encourage that sentiment #but oleeeeeease im begging u. navajo peopel should not just give up their reservation bc it sucks. whyd the us put them there?

Sometimes...characters being in a romantic relationship is worse.

#text #sometimes it's the most boring way to have characters interact #sometimes it's worse than the chemistry they have as literally any other kind of relationship #sometimes their platonic dynamic is better #sometimes their hostile dynamic is better #sometimes their dynamic is better if it's anything other than romance #because maybe them falling into generic romance is how you ruin their characters.#aro #aromantic #aroace #i only tag these because it feels relevant to why i feel this way

Nothing will dispell the "the curtains were just blue" myth faster than writing something yourself, because the amount of pretentious symbolism i am putting in my silly little fanfics is ridiculous. I mean SO much with these words, literally every single one of them. This fic has twenty five typos and zero correct uses of punctuation but if there's curtains you bet your ass I put thought into what colour they were.

#writing #fic writing #like this is stuff i'm doing for fun with my perfectionism meter turned down as far as i can get it #and i am still thinking about it A LOT #talk to me about how in red string fic jgy perceives the memory block both as syrup and as mud but nmj thinks it feels like blood #it's just a thing in their heads that mentally feels kind of thick and sticky but they both made something different of it #it's about issues with cleanliness / lies as a way to craft an illusion of a better lopking world vs the constant violence nmj lives in

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.

I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:

Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)

Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)

Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often

Eat dessert first

Celebrate well, and often

Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)

Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.

Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate

Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)

Walk without having a specific destination or goal

Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.

I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

#mental health #mental health support #positivity #if anybody has ideas of their own definitely include them!#i just think being stuck with this feeling that you don't have autonomy and that you ultimately aren't an equal person or a person at all..#...in comparison to other people can be a really troubling and dangerous place to be in...#...and that isn't the person's fault for feeling that way. they didn't pluck those thoughts out of thin air...#...like i have felt that exact way all my LIFE because i have been abused for. probably 2/3s of my life...#...only within these past few years have i even FELT alive. frankly it's going to take a while to repair what i have been left with...#...so i know the feeling and i want to help others feel even a LITTLE bit alive. you deserve it...#...you deserve to take in a deep breath before slowly realizing 'oh my gd this is what it feels like to be alive' and SMILE about it #i want that for you even if it is brief. even if it is small. even if it is a whisper. i want you to feel alive #unironically getting rid of the idea of 'guilty pleasures' has made my life SO much better

large zionist blocklist below

i've compiled a list of all the blogs positively interacting with the @/israel-palestine-bingo blog

there's more info about how the names were complied under the read more, but just to get an idea of how vile the blog is, i just want to quickly mention that the first prize offered in their pinned post, "eight hours of memi mamtera," is the song used in the viral israeli tiktok trend of kidnapping, humiliating, and torturing palestinians in the west bank.

and the "grand prize," which needs no explanation, is "all of palestine! for free!"

some quick info: all the names here have either approvingly replied to, reblogged from, or liked one or more of @/israel-palestine-bingo's posts. for likes, i've only gathered names that appear under their original posts; mostly ones that have not been reblogged, and some with 2-3 reblogs that have not left the immediate sphere of zionists. i've also made sure that these are blogs who have either liked more than one posts from them, or who frequently reblogs from other zionists.

you can also quickly look through the blog yourself (it doesn't have that many posts), or check out any of the names on the list with a quick 'israel' or 'palestine' in the search bar or their blogs.

there are more screenshots at the end of the posts, including ones showing who made the blog (ani-lo-daredevil / katenotbishop), and the bingo board itself (ashenpumpkin).

blocking tip: fastest way to mass block users (on desktop) is to go to settings -> the blog your blocking them from -> scroll all the way down to 'blocked tumblrs,' and then copy-paste the name your blocking

names listed below in alphabetical order reminder again, block don't engage

and from the same post,

the last post was also reblogged by the creator of the israel-palestine-bingo blog

#zionist blocklist #block don't engage #after looking through the blog i began recognizing so many names from it among the liberal crypto-zionist crowd #which is part of why i decided to make this list to begin with #and again - if you're worried about the way i've compiled the names you can look through the blog yourself #it doesn't have that many posts and you'll get a better sense of why i'm singling out this blog and the people who interact with it #their latest bingo post rn is one where they've attached their meme game to a news article about that school-room massacre #where civilians were - including young children - were shot and murdered at point-blank by IOF soliders
