i was going to do this for my blog's ten year anniversary last month, but i'm nothing if not a master procrastinator so it's taken a while. in order to actually finally post this let me not yap too much and instead get straight to it

i'm giving away three months of phriends tier phatreon membership to three different people! yay! three months each to be clear, not divided among the winners lol

to enter: – reblog this post! – that's it ♡

notes: i will only count one entry per blog, however i'm not gonna stop you from reblogging it on a couple of extra sideblogs if you want, i trust you all not to go too crazy and enter with like ten. there's also no rule that you have to be following me to enter because i can't in good conscience trap anyone into that lmao

the deadline for entry is december 14th, so this sunday! the winners will be randomly selected and announced the next day, in exactly one week

good luck! :)

Because he himself has fallen short of the expectations of his heavenly peers time and time again, and is acutely aware that they think he is “wrong” for being that way.

because it's not that it happened for a reason but just that maybe some calamities are bound to happen and it's not about you, and it doesn't mean you have to be okay with it or find some greater meaning in it if you don't want to, but it will still become part of you,

and how the meteor was like "this seems like a pretty great place to stop"

but the meteor stopping wiped out the majority of life on the planet,

but that catastrophe made it possible for everything we know now to exist,

like you and me and cats and kakapos and cherry soda and fanfiction and singing puppets,

and that meteor doesn't have any bearing on our day-to-day life but it does because even though we don't see it or talk about it or think about it or notice the scars from it, the fact that it is a part of our planet is inextricable from our daily existence,

it's a part of us, a part of all those things that made the meteor fall in love with this planet,

just like catastrophes and tragedies we experience in our lives may not be visible to those around us, and we may not even think about them all that often, they change the complete existence of us, and while the people who caused these things to happen to us may or may not have been acting with malicious intent, the event itself might sometimes be neutral, and even if it wasn't, being able to accept that thing as a part of you, even if you liked who you were before, you can't ever go back to that,

it's just not possible,

and it's okay and fine and good to accept who you are after that happened, it's okay to love who you are now and it's okay to still wish you could have seen that other you survive and it's okay to mourn them, it's okay to be sad for what you lost and glad of what you gained.
