Basically was sat playing a board game with my housemates, and they were all talking, and the noise, even though it wasn’t that loud, was making me tense and claustrophobic somehow, and I wanted to get out of there without raising eyebrows but couldn’t. Text my boyfriend to try and distract myself and told him about it. He then rang me pretending to want a private conversation while he was in the middle of work, bless him, to get me out of there. Went upstairs on the phone to him and found myself breathing really heavy before bursting into tears and being all shaky and shit.

Vaguely inspired by a scene in @quinzelade’s “By No Constraint” and a scene I’ve been thinking about writing for “Always See Your Face” (see: my ao3).

Language Matters: What Not to Say to Patients with Long COVID, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Other Complex Chronic Disorders

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

Last year I finally had an excuse to illustrate this simple little Tumblr story I've had bookmarked forever for class.
