Mom to sister: I didn't have any boyfriends before I married dad.

Me to sister: ...so yeah, she was clearly hoping that I won't tell you about Andrius.

It was so boring that I quit after two pages.

I mocked mom's diary in my own diary. Soon, mom's diaries disappeared from the secret stash.

Nowadays, mom is doing everything to prevent sister from getting a girlfriend.

Mom to sister: You should be like me.

Generally, I'm against snooping through people's diaries.

However, if you snoop through my diary and make fun of the contents with other people, I will have no problem doing the exact same thing to you.

1/3

Long ago, I found my mom's secret stash with her old diaries.

Now, I know it wasn't alright to read other people's diaries.

But mom was always snooping through my personal stuff and then publicly mocking the contents, so I decided it was alright if I did the same.

In the diary, mom was gushing about her boyfriend named Andrius.

Answering questions.

Asking a question of an autistic person:
Autistic person 1: *question*
Autistic person 2: *answer*

Asking a question of an allistic person:
Autistic person: *question*
Allistic person: Why are you asking? Are you trying to passive aggressively imply something?
Autistic person: I'm asking because I want to know the answer, bro.

I will leave,
And take my heart.
Stop breaking me,
I won't stay.

Mama. Mama.
Please don't shout.
I love you.
Please say you love me too.

I gave you what I could.
I wish I was good enough.

Mama. Mama.
Please stop hurting me.
I love you.
Did you ever love me?

I'm scared to lose you.
I'm scared of you.

I am grown, and I am strong.

Broken Promises to You.

1/3

Mama. Mama.
Look - I'm here.
Mama, I love you.
Do you love me too?

Do you see me breathing?
Do you see me breathing?

Mama, look!
I did what you asked!
I finished my tasks.
I held my hands still.

Did I do good?
Did I make you proud?

Mama. Mama.
Hear me please.
I love you.
Do you love me too?

I swear I'll be better.
I promise I'll do good.

I've been struggling with this story for years.

At this point, I've given up on developing it further.

2/3

Her mom had her when she had an affair with a demon.

Dearie and Gazelle grow up and fall in love.

Dearie gets tired of nobody believing she has a girlfriend.

Eventually, she moves to the demon realm to live with her demon wife.

My Imaginary Wife - Notes.

1/3

Here are the things I know about the story My Imaginary Wife.

It turns out Gazelle is real and not imaginary.

She's a demon child who occasionally teleports to the human realm for fun.

Dearie can see demons because she has demon ancestry.

Sea Dragoness. Pages 17-20

Earth dragon: Got you!

The land dragon had been no dragon at all.

It had been a witch pretending to be a dragon.

Sea Dragoness: You!

Witch: Yes, me.

Witch: You were too stupid to see humans. But the humans saw you.

Witch: They called for a witch to help destroy the dragon. And here I am.

I imagined him having to swallow a teaspoon made of iron every day.

Every time I saw him, I pitied him.

Imagine my relief when I found out about liquid supplements.

Obelis @obelis.bsky.social · 5d

Teaspoon of iron

1/2

When I was a child, my cousin had iron deficiency.

Aunt to mom: He now has to take a teaspoon of iron daily.

Back then, I didn't know about liquid supplements.

So I thought my cousin had to take pieces of the metal called iron.

(After I looked him in the eye while he was talking to me)

Dad: Do this again and I'll slap you! I'm in a bad mood today!

For such a rational and logical man, his children sure had to do a lot of dancing around his "moods."

Obelis @obelis.bsky.social · 6d

Rational man.

1/2

My dad liked to mock women for being "hysterical."

Whenever a woman expressed more emotion than he deemed suitable (which was showing any emotion at all), he would go: Pfft! Women.

Yet we always had to adjust to his "moods."

Dad to me: Don't talk or I'll hit you! I'm in a bad mood today!

It's obvious these two characters will get together.

Why are we pretending there is a chance they won't?

Get to the point already.

Obelis @obelis.bsky.social · 7d

Slowburn.

(Now that I look back on it, this might have something to do with me being on the aro spectrum. Or the autism spectrum. Some kinda spectrum is at fault here, I think)

1/2

I have a writing confession to make.

I can't write slowburn.

I hate beating around the bush.

The genre is romance.
