@sunshyngal is going to bring THE PAIN & I am not ready but also so ready. Also this beautiful writer is writing to give us an update before she leaves for vacation. You’re too sweet Hurricane Writer.

Highly highly recommended. The Sadness of Things by @sunshyngal. It’s such a beautiful fic about pain and loss. We have Jungkook grieving, we have a beautiful, richly loving, fierce & flawed OC!

Bonus - it’s got this rich layer of ABO dynamics. Bonus bonus - one of the supporting characters is Alpha Werewolf Tae who’s also a therapist (who makes me feel things)

TSOT .

I stared at my feet, feeling empty and hollow. This wasn’t how I’d wanted it to end. It wasn’t supposed to end till we divorced. I was supposed to have held on and maybe , come out of this with at least respect for each other but …. That just didn’t seem possible, now.

“You’re hurting.” He said softly and I flinched.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“It does to me.” He said sharply. “My pain mattered to you, didn’t it? Why shouldn’t yours matter to me?”

I stared at him.

“That’s not how it works.” I snapped.

“And you get to decide that? You get to decide how everything works in my head, Heejin? ….You saved me. I’m not scared to say that out loud… I needed saving and you were the only one who threw me a rope. I… I just wish I could do that for you. Is that so wrong?” He shouted.

The doorbell rang and we both startled.

“When the illusion breaks, you’ll realize there’s nothing here worth saving. ” I whispered.

He didn’t say a word, walking past me to open the door.

Absolutely!

how to live life like a ghibli film

1. go out in nature more. every studio ghibli film has some aspect of nature intertwined with the storyline. sometimes its hard to get the energy to go outside, but just going out on your deck or opening the window in your room or taking a walk around the block is enough. if you feel like it, go for a hike! go into the woods and look at every flower, and every tree. look at the mushrooms and streams and notice the beauty of them. look at nature like you’ve never seen it before. wake up at 4 and watch the sunset. put plants around your room. realize how beautiful the world is around you. appreciate it. 

2. get a hobby! this step is certainly easier said than done, but its so worth it. struggling with mental illness makes it especially hard to get a hobby, but its very important that you don’t spend the majority of your time on social media. Start small. If you want to start drawing get a coloring book and fill in a picture with beautiful markers! If you want to write find a random prompt online, give yourself 30 minutes and see what you can come up with. Want to try baking? Start with an easy recipe, like chocolate chip cookies, and share them with your family or friends, or just yourself! Try out a bunch of hobbies, and see what you like best. Maybe you like making jewelry or writing poems or creating digital collages or making video edits or decorating your room or riding a bike or sewing or reading. The possibilities are endless, and getting a hobby you enjoy is very important, and fun.

3. start appreciating small things and noticing details. I don’t know how to explain this step, but in studio Ghibli films, small things always stick out. There are beautiful tiny details that make the story so much more magnificent. small details make the studio Ghibli films what they are. maybe on your way to school/work the sky was a really pretty color. Or the tea you made in the morning was perfectly steeped. appreciate small details of life that you don’t normally notice.

4. appreciate food. Pay attention to your food. If you can, try and make/bake your own food! But if you can’t, just be mindful of your food. Try not to eat while you’re on your phone. Dedicate times to just eating. Appreciating the food in front of you. Make yourself the ponyo drink with milk and honey, or ponyo ramen! Make yourself your own blend of tea like the Baron!

5. be kind and help others. Being kind doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, it can be smiling and waving at a baby in a café, or helping your mom finish the dishes, or paying for a friend’s coffee. Small gestures not only put good out into the world, but they also make you feel better. When you can, help others. Try volunteering at an animal shelter, or babysit for your aunt without charging her, or just listen to your friend when they’re going through something and be there for them. In every Ghibli film, the main character is always helping others, and being kind. Try to be like kiki, when she returned the pacifier to the mother who forgot it, or like chizuru from the cat returns, who risks her life to save a cat. Kindness comes in all shapes and forms, so just try your best to do what you can!

6. be your most authentic self. Stay true to who you are. dress how you’d like. Cut your hair like you’ve always wanted to. Stay confident and true to yourself. We all feel insecure sometimes, but we need to remind ourselves that we are great. Don’t try and force yourself to be someone you aren’t. Kiki felt insecure in her abilities as a witch, but she stayed true to herself, and believed in herself, and it paid off. Love and appreciate yourself, just the way you are.

7. (not really a tip but a fun suggestion) start collecting something! This is just an extra step that I wanted to include because I think its nice. But start a collection of things that interest you. It could be anything! Candles, stamps, teacups, antique figurines, 19th century photos, lip balms, books, key chains, flowers, hats. The choices are endless.

Literally this

It’s probably a ways before you were here but 100% worth it I promise. Really weird, lots of cringe but this is what I grew up with in the 90s. Don’t want to suffer alone anymore. Haan but message is - tumse dil lagaane ki sazaa hai

I think I’m a Shreya Stan too. Your posts are the funniest and realest and sometimes the most real in the funniest way.

Yes you deserve this much gushing.

HELEPSMSJDNANXJSJFJR IM SCREAMIGN THIS IS SO CUTE THANK YOU BESTIE <3

Oh my god. I’m actually doing this?! Weird but I’m so so excited too!

Feeling Deeply

Masterpost for this series.

Just a very fluffy very slow burning fic about two introvert nerds slowly discovering each other. Pairing: Namjoon x OC

Namjoon is his beautiful self, OC is indian, bengali, reader, curvy & feminist (because of course). Wanted to write this deeply fluffy fic so the immigrant life isn't accurately represented. It's there in the later chapters, a little but imagine a privileged first generation immigrant mixed race couple.

So far this is what we have -
