@grimfate .. [ for chris hackett ! ] : #28 / holding on for life - broken bells . misplaced melancholia'd come in ebbs and flows for every day x - marked off the calendar, some tiny little shreds of the whole humdrum reality gradually eating up the backs of his brain if there wasn’t enough busy work bullshit to wade in, to preoccupy, to shut it all off in an excess of shouts &. static : 𝚐𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚊 𝚋𝚎 𝚐𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚋𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚘𝚗 . all of them. not a feeling too divorced from shuffling from grade school into graduation, shedding friends like old skin ── these pin points in the whole wide world where you leave a piece of yourself &. never come back for it.
not the case for 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘥𝘨𝘦, though. it’s a heavy thought, a weird rush like a sudden freight train of wondering pulling the corners of dylan’s mouth up in a grimacing smile, rinsing the last dish suds off his forearms &. nudging the freezer door securely shut with the rubber end of his shoe. “ so, mr. h . . . do you actually miss us when everyone’s ditched the coop ? or is it more like : 𝘰𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘨𝘰𝘥, these twerps get dumber every year, expletive, expletive . ” not his best impression, but . . . [ x ]
@grimfate mr. lonnit's totally harmless card reading ! he'd gotten pretty good in all the months passed at holding his left wrist down against his ribs like a self - serving pinch, &. using his other to shuffle, to cut the deck into four somewhat even piles ── a compass spread. where you're coming from, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯, standard stuff for the general success in that whole art of applied associations &. suggested introspections. “ so, ” and dylan'd lifted the light pads of his fingers off each flipped card, slumping inward instead to lazily balance his cheek against the soft open of his palm / lulled to an 𝚒𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚕 demeanor without too much logic to back up the feeling ( maybe it was the baseball cap. ) “ uh charlie, can i call you charlie ── your cards aa - a - re saying . . . don't get mad at the messenger, it's saying your choices are. not great lately ? financⁱᵃˡˡʸ, and you got a lot of disharmony with some relationships in your life. might be too much to reconcile, and like you're not seeing payoff to the work you're putting in. but the cards in your past &. your north star say . . . if you stay sharp, you're gonna come out the other side. maybe . . . like your strength comes out when stuff's tough. not bad, huh ? ”
charlie's cards : reversed king of pentacles, upright ace of sword, reversed two of cups, reversed knight of pentacles
