“Stay awake.” (a Walking Dead drabble, Caryl).

Oh, look. I actually do remember how to string words together (badly, lol). Sorry for this. I opened up my prompt list and this is what came pouring out. I guess you could say I needed to purge some feelings or something. ;)

Season 10. What if they both went back after the cave collapse? What then? Just a dash of Caryl angst for your Sunday morning. Please do enjoy.

Her head lolls like a ragdoll against his shoulder, her breath nothing more than a faint puff against his neck.

She’d gone back. When the despairing group had moved on. When he’d left her, crumpling beneath the mountain of her own self-hatred. His shattered trust, his silent, tearful recriminations.

She’d gone back and now it’s a race against time because he can feel her fading away, could see it in the unfocused blue eyes that had briefly pierced the dirt and the grime when he’d found her.

“Stay awake. Need you to…”

(pierced his guilty heart and soul).

“Need you.”

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Stranger Things (TV 2016) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Chrissy Cunningham/Eddie Munson Characters: Wayne Munson, Chrissy Cunningham, Eddie Munson Additional Tags: Good Parent Wayne Munson, POV Wayne Munson, No Vecna (Stranger Things), Alternate Universe, Unplanned Pregnancy, Pregnancy, Marriage of Convenience, Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Family, Family Feels, Family Fluff Summary:

His boy brings home a girl that spring, a pretty thing with blonde hair and a shy smile and a belly she can’t hide, and when he sees the way Eddie looks at her, Wayne’s heart sinks past his gut.

“It’s not mine,” Eddie tells him the next afternoon. They’re out on the side porch after lunch; Chrissy's inside, asleep on the couch.

“The baby,” Eddie adds when Wayne doesn’t respond right away. He’s frowning fiercely at his knees. “She had a boyfriend. Well, until…”

“Until?” Wayne prompts.

The boy—not so much a boy now, twenty-three and taller than him—shrugs. “Until he knocked her up.” His mouth twists in a sneer. “Fucker thought basketball was a better deal than her and a kid.”

Wayne sits with that for a minute. “Sounds like a piece of work.”

Eddie snorts. “I’ll say.”

A couple cars go by on the road; the whine of a lawnmower a couple spots down drifts in and out.

“Wayne.”

“Yeah, kid.”

Eddie tips his head back to look at him, something between nerves and determination on his face as he squints against the sun.

“I’m gonna marry her. If she’ll let me.”

When other people I knew in grad school read Kathy Acker’s books they were shocked. Appalled. Particularly most of the budding young feminists. I actually began weeding out women friends by their reactions to her books. The ones that smiled and lowered their eyes with sly understanding and touched themselves, I kept. The ones that freaked out, well, they were idiots. Once I read a paragraph from Empire of the Senseless in my theory of gender class and one of the women began to cry and ran out and barfed. No shit. Pussy, I thought.

—Lidia Yuknavitch, from The Chronology of Water

#quotations #lidia yuknavitch #kathy acker #the chronology of water #i think of this so so often #because i had a similar experience in undergrad #but was thinking of it again recently because i noticed a distinct split in the reactions of my women and nonbinary friends re: poor things #(note: i am not saying ‘women and enbies’ because i think they’re the same obvs #i’m just using it to denote ‘any friend who’s not a man’)#so #some are in the ‘smiling and lowering their eyes and touching themselves’ category #like: ‘i related to bella because xyz and therefore i loved it’#and some are in the ‘crying and barfing’ category #like: ‘i was super triggered and thought the depictions of sexuality were problematic and horrible’#i mean i’m not going to weed out friends because of it #but it’s…interesting #makes me think of that post that’s like #a piece of art can be triggering and awful for someone and healing and cathartic for someone else

the biggest structural flaw with arc v imo is the absolute failure to engage with yuya's professed "make everyone smile" motivation on anything more than a glancing surface level. Ray tells zarc that yuya is the part of him that wants to make people smile, and yuya has that revelation himself in the finale (that zarc wanted to make people smile just like him) but doesn't manage to extract any takeaway from it other than "I guess we weren't so different" or "I guess zarc wasn't all bad" Which Like, Huh? guys, zarc wanting to make people smile was, like, the whole fucking issue. zarc felt pressured to conform to an audience's expectation of him (wanted to make them happy) and it made him hate humanity because what he wanted no longer mattered. It made him do things that disgusted him and it was never enough. He couldn't fill the hole in himself with other people's smiles. yuya is trying desperately to please everybody right up until the credits roll and he's miserable the entire time, he's still that part of zarc that desperately wants approval from others, without even the aspects of zarc that made dueling enjoyable to him (yuri's sadism, yugo's competitiveness, yuto's vindictiveness). I'd go so far as to wager that it's because Yuya is that aspect of zarc that he struggles so much more with zarc's influence compared to the others, BECAUSE HE'S EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME THING. it's not about entertainment or smiling or fun, it's conformity and it's going to break him. and they never address it. EVER.

#yugioh arc v #ygo arc v #arc v #they don't even bring up things like 'you can't make people enjoy something' or 'bottling up emotions is bad'#they really have yuya's dad tell him 'if you feel like crying just smile!'#and yuya goes okay i'll internalize that! and doesn't think about it doesn't question it. doesn't grow beyond that coping mechanism.#it makes me insane. What if you were an atomic bomb and you were shaped like a boy and you were so so empty inside.#yuya sakaki #.txt

“You’re bleeding on my carpet.” (a Walking Dead drabble, Caryl AU).

I hesitate to even post this hot garbage but this is what my brain supplied for this particular prompt, lol.

Years after leaving Carol without a goodbye, Daryl literally stumbles through her door and gets the surprise of his life.

“You’re bleeding all over my carpet.”

He huffs a pained laugh, immediately clutches his side in regret. “Missed you, too.”

“Could have fooled me.”

Woman’s tone is cool. Those ocean eyes of hers, though? The ones that haunt his dreams every night? They’re troubled. “Can leave,” he grits out. “Can walk right back through that door and…”

“Stumble.”

“What?”

“You stumbled through my door. At 3 am.”

“Can leave,” he repeats.

“And what? Disappear on me again? It’s been years, Daryl. Years.”

“Can explain.”

Chin quivering, she shakes her head. “There’s no explanation good enough.”

“Mama?”

“About those explanations…”

Thank you to everyone who helped make my birthday special. I seriously needed all of your love and kindness this week.

My real life was beyond challenging, I wondered if I was going to get to the end of the week. I didn't even get to celebrate my birthday because things were so bad with my dad, so to see all of your love and support here, it meant EVERYTHING to me. I wish I had the proper words to tell you how much you all mean to me. I know I say it, but please know that I mean it, from the bottom of my heart, I can't say thank you enough for making me feel special, appreciated, and loved. I am so so eternally grateful to you for the time, effort, and thoughtfulness you put into your gifts or even just your kindness in sending a sweet message. I appreciate you all so much!

Thank you 💖

Thank you for all of these amazing gifts and messages! I hope I don't miss anyone, if I do, please let me know. It's not my intention to overlook anyone!

a 'beginning' and 'end', a place to feel grounded, a place of bottomlessness, a place of safety and familiarity, the feelings of the living to a journey that seemed to feel as if there is no end in sight can be a burden no one can bear. a familiar feeling of floating as you fall almost endlessly, as if suspended in time, a memory that reminds you of someone from years past, a nostalgic feeling of soft gloves and pink hair, of a small smile of happiness and the faint smell of chemical and antiseptic... so close like a star. all the things you lost, all the sorrow, all the memories of cherished pain and joy shall be your guide until the end. you will reach that destination as one of the living. should you falter and feel as if time had stopped and nothing grounds you to the earth, and you feel that you have been falling endlessly without hope, may the bonds you have gained pull you up. again and again. should you fall, should your heart waver in the face of mind numbing ache to bittersweet nostalgia, everything that you keep close to your heart shall save you, one way or another. as long as there is an end to the fall, you are alive. you are alive.
