Damnit Damnit

I just got given probably some of the sweetest birthday presents I've ever got, but I can't love them. No one in my family knows I'm Non-binary, and it hurt.

It hurt so much, knowing they don't know. Knowing I might never work up the strength to tell them. Knowing the day I do tell them is the day I finally snap under the pressure of everything.

It took so much energy to even smile when I saw the gifts, they're beautiful and it would've cost so much... it makes me want to cry, how much it hurts.

All the cool tadpoles hang out in the writhing mass.

As someone that celebrated christmas/yule in Gävle most my life I always cheer for both the defence and crime teams. But this year the Goat must go down for a simple reason.

Boring as fuck defence. Nothing new. No armoured knights. Nothing fun. They could at least give the guards silly hats or something.

(fun fact, if you spend a lot of time as a teen in Gävle you can't fathom how many dudes are implying that they *might* be one of the arsonists that got away when hitting on you)

“Oh, sweetheart. You’re just tired.” A heard the soft tap of a metal tray being put onto the nightstand, and a gentle hand propped their head up. “Here,” their mother whispered as glass pressed against A’s lips. “Drink this.”

They began to drink, but whatever liquid this was was thick, burning. It felt like sludge pushing through their mouth and invading their throat.

Choking, A pushed their mother away, violently retching as they fell to the floor beside the bed. They got out what little of the disgusting liquid was in their body, whirling around with wide eyes.

“What was that!?” they screamed as they scrambled away from their mother on the ground. “What are you trying to feed me!?”

“Oh, dear,” the mom tsked, tilting her head. She was delicately holding a flask with a black substance inside of it. As she walked closer, A struggled to crawl further away. “It’s only medicine.”

Just had a nap and woke up 2 hours later, I didn't sleep until 3am for a change.

It felt great. Like, really, really great
